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!

What? But that doesn't make sense. How can anyone get signal if there's no electricity?

[serenesuccessor]

I donno. Magic? They've got a whole network too. It's weiiiiiird.

[callbacks]

Oh. Magic. Well, okay.

[He mutters "magic internet" under his breath and shakes his head.]

And people, like. Live like that? Seriously?

[serenesuccessor]

I guess they don't have much of a choice, all things considered. But man has it been boring and I've only been here for a little while! It was okay at first 'cause I still had my phone, so I could play games on it. [And she fishes said phone with the most obnoxious phone case out of her jacket pocket to show him.] But it died.

[callbacks]

[Okay there are priorities and then there's:]

That phone case is incredible.

[serenesuccessor]

[Naomi blinks, looking from her phone case to him. Then she's beaming.]

You like it? I made it myself!

[callbacks]

Yeah? Hell, that's awesome. Really digging that soft nineties aesthetic.

[serenesuccessor]

Thanks! I worked really hard on it.

I guess it kinda looks nineties. I wasn't tryin' for anything really, just something cute, but I can see it.

[callbacks]

It's like Lisa Frank and Sanrio had a pastel millennial baby, I love it. How come you haven't tricked your watch out like that yet?

[serenesuccessor]

'Cause I just got here, but oh man I should! I wonder if I can find any cool things in one of the shops. I bet they'll still have krazy glue or somethin' too. I can make one for your watch too, if you want.

[callbacks]

Oh, no way! If you find that shit we should just commence a crafts party so we can both do it ourselves. Get everybody in on it, it'll be fucking amazing.

[serenesuccessor]

Yes! That would be so much fun, we could start an arts and craft club or something. I bet you I can find something. Anything in particular you'd want?

[callbacks]

Butts.

[serenesuccessor]

Dude I am not getting you butts to put on your watch. That's stupid.
