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!

[Was he really alone at all?]

[The sound of quiet steps on a wooden floor would interrupt the silence of the poorly lit cathedral, their source a man in the pitch black of a priest's clothing under a long purple coat. He walked in slow but long strides, coming to a gradual stop when he noticed Pucci and turned dark eyes on his fellow man of God with an unreadable smile.]

Good afternoon. It's rare that I find others having made their way here.

[...and oddly, he spoke in a voice remarkably like Pucci's own.]

[sinfamous]

[Maybe it was the ill kept state of the city or the cathedral itself but Pucci was not expecting to see another man of the cloth. Even though he looked up at the even foot steps he would rather continue his thoughts in peace. However, he was not about to start off on the wrong foot with even the most inconsequential stranger and a colleague was not to be ignored.

Smoothly, he stands up and approaches Kirei, extending a hand to the other in greeting.]

A sad state of affairs then. Have you been here long?

[Can't even attract a following to such a lovely cathedral? At least Pucci had the excuse that he was servicing prisoners.]

[blackmass]

Long enough. [Kirei inclined his head in what was the faintest trace of a bow before unfolding his arms from behind him and briefly shaking his fellow priest's hand.] One tends to lose track after time enough spent idle, unfortunately.

[As pleasant as his words were, there was something a little hollow to them; it sounded like he spoke in a flat tone with only the barest affectation of amusement.]

What of yourself? I'd hope that my perception's not faulty enough that I've completely overlooked another child of God in this miserable place.

[sinfamous]

[Pucci makes note of the other man's tone. While he may get distracted by tangents more often than not while talking with those he was meant to be counseling he at least never sounded that disinterested. He hoped.]

He smile does veer closer to wry when he hears 'child of God' though. As the handshake finishes:] Enrico Pucci.

It would seem I am quite new here actually. I felt it only prudent to acquaint myself with the cathedral.
