November Test Drive!

[rubycitymods]

Thinking of apping a character but not sure they'll fit in the city walls?

Have no fear, a meme for you is here.

Directions:

• Use an RNG to choose a location and prompt, or wait for someone else to tag.


• Post with your character with their name and canon on top!


• 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!

Zack Fair / Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core

[heroespride]

1-2

[One minute he’d been walking along the market in Sector 5, the next he was on a train.

Zack jolted to his feet, looking left and right in utter confusion. Was this another training module? But that didn’t make any sense. He was sure he’d just been outside; he’d been talking to Aerith. There was no way any of that could have been part of a training module, and to double check he raises his hands to the sides of his head to see if the visor was in place. It wasn’t, of course it wasn’t, because he wasn’t in any simulation.

But if that was the case, where was he? With a frown he waited for the train to stop, hoping off it and onto the platform. Instinctively his hand moved to the hilt of his sword, scanning the empty platform until his gaze landed on the helpful posters that lined the station.]

Ruby City…? [He let go of his weapon, hands moving to pat his pockets until he found the mentioned pocket watch, hitting the record option by accident. Soon the Network is greeted to a very puzzled face.] Maybe I hit my head harder than I thought…?

[His eyes flicker back to the posters, then the watch and it’s then that he seems to realize it’s on. There’s a brief moment of surprised before he straightens his shoulders.]

Right, uh, hello? This is Zack Fair, SOLDIER 1st Class, reporting in. Could someone please explain what's going on here? Or maybe point me in the direction of Shinra? [He's about to turn the watch off when another thought strikes him. His eyes widen, the previous questions momentarily forgotten.] Wait, actually. Has anyone seen a young woman named Aerith? She’s about this tall- [an estimated gesture of height] – and has brown hair in a braid with a pink bow? I was just with her...

[After getting an explanation for things on the watch Zack has taken to exploring the city itself. It's not hard to navigate after a little while, and soon he manages to remember certain places or things to help him along the way.

Honestly, he's not sure what to make of any of this. He pauses outside on of the empty storefronts, rubbing the back of his neck. He had to get home, that much he knew, but how?

Feel free to bother him while he thinks, or perhaps catch him while he's walking around!]
