If you'd like, leave contact info for people to get in contact for plotting and other such shenans.

Tag around! Make friends. Don't be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.

Locations

1.TRAIN STATION - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with informational posters telling you all about where you've ended up.
2. THE BEACH - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you're probably not likely to dip your toes in.
3. THE BLACK STALLION - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don't see anyone immediately who's willing to serve you. Maybe you're meant to get it yourself.
4. THE OBELISK - The tall monolith in the center of the city marks the gathering place of many events, though right now it seems to be cold and dark.
5. THE CLOCKTOWER - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don't mind braving the narrow staircase.
6. THE COFFEE JOINT - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there's always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.
7. THE CATACOMBS - Intrepid, aren't you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you're going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.
8. THE CITY STREETS - All told, Ruby City is a lovely place, once you get past the fact that several of the buildings look derelict and on the verge of falling down. There's no harm in doing a little sightseeing.
9. THE PARK - You thought it'd be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like what we've come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There's a whole host of lovely locations to choose from in the City.

Scenarios

1. NEW ARRIVAL - Step off that train, walk down the street. People usually latch on to newcomers to try and help them out. Even if you look shy, the other residents probably won't be!
2. WATCH TALK - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don't worry, everyone feels that way on their first day. Fortunately - if the signs at the station are to believed - the watch in your pocket can be used to talk to whoever else might be here.
3. BAD WEATHER - Aw, man. Whether it's snow, or rain, or just plain cold, today was definitely the wrong day to get dumped off in a City in the middle of nowhere.
4. A RUN-IN - Maybe you weren't watching. Maybe they weren't. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?
5. HELP, IT HURTS - Clumsy, aren't you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn't so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you're in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.
6. HUNGRY - It isn't very obvious sometimes that restaurants are what they are, especially in a place like Ruby City. Where can a person go to get a bite to eat around here?
7. MISTAKEN IDENTITY - Hey, there's someone you know! --Or maybe not.
8. BEING FOLLOWED - Maybe you're just being paranoid, or maybe you've got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there's eyes on you...
9. EVENTS - Feel free to look through our event tag!
10. CHOOSE YOUR OWN - Don't like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!

[And you've been here how long, Narancia? Bruno doubts it's been for very long because there's simply not a chance that Narancia would have been left on his own for very long. One of the others would have been able to find him if not Bruno.]

I can't promise it will be as good as home, but it's not bad.

[Not long, obviously. Not enough to not still light up like Christmas when he hangs out with Buccellati. It means everything's pretty okay.]

Yeah? As long as you say so, I'll try it, but I'm not gonna go easy on them.

I'm sure they'd appreciate an honest opinion.

[No. No they probably would not. Probably not delivered in Narancia's style anyway even if they were interested in an honest opinion. But why discourage self-expression? True, Bruno is usually the designated Responsible One, but like Abbacchio, Bruno recognizes that sometimes one needs to blow off a little steam. And if getting worked up about a shitty liquor selection or pizza not done exactly to perfection is what it takes, then so be it.]

[...]

[And besides, it's been too, too quiet around here even with Mista's loud mouth. Bruno's missed Narancia.]

Order whatever else you like. It's on me.

Nobody's gonna know better than me, anyway.

[Master of none, really, but hey, he knows a good pizza when he tastes it. Now... of course he wouldn't be delicate in the slightest, and might cause a nice argument or two, but that's fair, isn't it? Though, if anyone can hold him back, it's his boss.

As for it being too quiet... How long will it take for the tolerance to wane?]

Yeah? All right!

[He'd feel a little guilty, but he's more excited about just being with the gang again, so he doesn't particularly notice. Self-indulgence is fine!]

Okay... so I can get the spaghetti, too?

You're free to order one of everything if you think you can eat that much.

[The latter part of that statement a little more serious than Bruno lets on. There's certainly plenty of food to go around, but it's better not to waste it with winter so close. But there will be time for a more serious discussion later. Because there are things that Narancia needs to know and to accept. Just for a while longer though, Bruno will leave things be.]

[Well. Okay, that gives him something to think about, and it's a bit visible that he's analyzing the situation, looking from the food to Buccellati and back again. He wouldn't say it if it wasn't important, so........]

Pizza. Just the pizza this time, and if it's good, I'll get the spaghetti next time.

November Test Drive!
