[January] 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!

Flowey|Undertale- Post True Pacifist ending!

[anythingbettertodo]

[OOC- spoilers will be marked if/when they come up!]

Option 1: Train station:
[The underground didn't have trains. The closest he'd seen was that weird ferry with the hodded figure. But he'd never seen trains. He had a vauge idea that he'd heard about them, but if someone pointed to a picture of a cow and said "this is a train", Flowey would've probably rolled his eyes and assumed the other person a total moron.

Still, here he was. Near one of the exit platforms is a tall golden flower. Not a buttercup or a sunflower, but it could easily be mistaken for both considering its petals. Whoever gets closer will see a face blinking up at a poster as it reads. When he speaks, it's with his "mask" voice-- the cute, "I'm so innocent and cute that any theme park would be happy to have me as a mascot" voice. The one that gets idiots to lower their guard. The one that works.]

Ruby.. City.. Golly! Can't say I've ever heard of this place! [He looks around, all wide eyes and innocence.] Sure doesn't look like the Underground!

[Option 2: City streets]
[Luckily his transportation abilities still worked. He thought of moving and he'd move. It was different compared to the Underground but that was just because he didn't have the layout memorized yet. When he had that it wouldn't be a problem to get around the area quickly. As he popped up on one of the city streets, Flowey took a second to cope with the resulting head rush before glancing around He mutters to himself.] Let's see.. I don't need a house but there has to be somewhere I can settle in. Somewhere that's not too obvious but not too far from the main area.

[The flower slumps slightly and drags up a few tears as he sniffles. Trying his hardest to put the image out of being the equivilant of a scared newcomer although he's anything but, he gives a hiccuping cough.]

[Option 2] bear with me, this is my first time too. :'3

[lazyboned]

[O no. Look at this sad flower sprouting through the city at random. Maybe he would help it out.

Only two things impeded him in that, really.

1, he knew about this flower.

2, even if he didn't, he wasn't known for his chivalry, right? Hardly.

So, Sans approached the flower, his untied high tops sounding relatively quiet due to the lack of snow on the streets at the moment.]

Aww, look at the poor flower. Better get inside, buddy. It's cold outside.

[Something about that tone...wasn't quite as magnanimous as it sounded.]

You wouldn't wanna shrivel up, would'ya?

[anythingbettertodo]

[Flowey blinked up at Sans. The mask fell for a second as his mouth drew back to show teeth while he sneered,] Planning on giving me your coat?

[The mask was back in place as quickly as it slipped.] I'll get inside when I figure out where I want to go. This..

[He looked back towards Sans.] This isn't the Underground, right? It's too.. too whatever-this-is. Besides, there's actually weather here.

[lazyboned]

[HAHA. Yeah, no. This coat is his coat, bucko. And the toothy sneer didn't phase the skeleton either.

Of course, the questions Flowey asked were legit.]

Nah, I guess it's not. But hey, I'm not complaining. A little warmth will be great for my complexion.

[Yes. Because the winter here is so much different from eternal Snowdin cold right now.]

[anythingbettertodo]

You call this warmth? [Flowey blinked. If he had eyebrows he'd be arching them.] Yeah okay. Wait-- how'd you get here?

[lazyboned]

Oh, sure! I've got no complaints, seeing as I'm dressed for it.

[Sans looks entirely nonchalant, even as he admits to to Flowey that...]

And I came off some train. I thought I'd chill a little longer on there than you, since I'm not in a rush to get places.

[anythingbettertodo]

It wasn't worth it to stay on. [He looks back towards the nearest building.] And I'm not rushing!

[lazyboned]

See that's a matter of opinion, bud. [Which part? WHO KNOWS! Vagueness is great.] Sometimes it's good to kick up your feet and clock some z's. Besides, I learned somethin' about the train.

[Like that it wouldn't let him stay on forever. But it wouldn't move until he got off. Wow, isn't that crazy?]

[anythingbettertodo]

[Flowey sways slightly in the breeze.] Oh? What, that it's huge?

[lazyboned]

You could say that and it would be true, but I gotta say.

You're on a bit of a different track than me.

[It begins.]

[ofwoe]

[ What is that thing. ]

[ Well. It's a flower, that much is obvious; Wednesday isn't ignorant, after all. But why does it have a face, is the most pressing matter. Is it one of those fairy tale creatures she read about in one of countless piles of literary rubbish? Honestly, she could do with the chirping birds and singing mice, but slaying a dragon or a beast of epic power over and over again to prove some moral standpoint was tiring, boring and oh so unpleasant. ]

[ Needless to say, the weeping act doesn't impress her. ]

Who kicked your vase?

[ Dry, unimpressed. Flowey, meet the short child in the black dress standing, arms crossed, just a couple of feet in front of you. ]

[anythingbettertodo]

[Flowey gives the girl a withering "Are you srs you cannot be srs" look.] Gee, I don't know! It was either whoever brought me here or some little girl in a black dress!

[His eyes light up when he realizes.] ..You're a human, aren't you?

[ofwoe]

[ THE MOST INFURIATING OF STAREDOWNS ]

I don't know, I personally prefer pruning shears.

[ But despite her dry tone, she raises an eyebrow at his question. ]

I might be. Why?

[anythingbettertodo]

[This face for days, Wednesday.] Just curious! You don't look like anything I've ran across in the Underground.

[ofwoe]

Flowers don't live underground.

[ What are you on about, tall plant thing. ]

I've tried.

[anythingbettertodo]

The ones you've met don't!

[Obviously you're running in small social circles, kid.]

You've tried living underground? [Blink.] Well if you're not in the Underground [He emphasises that version of the word] then of course you couldn't.

one!

[ambivilantgoat]

[Guess who else is stepping off a train now, Flowey? That's right, one former-ruler boss grade monster. Toriel. She knows you, she knows hat you tried to do. She doesn't know the details of what happened after she stopped Frisk from fighting Asgore but she knows enough.]

It is not the Underground. [squitsquint so suspicious]

[anythingbettertodo]

[Flowey stiffens at the voice. He turns slowly and puts on his best winning smile.] Toriel! Howdy!

[Somewhere there's a faint sense of pain.]

When did you get here?

[ambivilantgoat]

I have just arrived.

[She's still absolutely keeping a careful eye on him. Especially if there are children around. And SOULs. Even if they do seem to be on the surface now, she can imagine someone like Flowey still wanting to grab a SOUL or two for the sake of power.]

[anythingbettertodo]

[That happened ONE TIME okay.] Then you're only a few minutes behind me! Golly!

[Flowey's eyes shine a little. He pauses for a second and then asks.] Have you ever heard of this place?

[ambivilantgoat]

[That she knows of!]

No, I have not. We have lived Underground for a long time, more than enough time for the world to have changed drastically from what we were familiar with.

[anythingbettertodo]

[/MUFFLED INNOCENT WHISTLING IN THE DISTANCE.]

[Flowey considers that for a long moment.] Then it's a new place to explore! I bet it's even larger than the Underground!

[It'd have to be to have so many people in it.]

[ambivilantgoat]

[SHE IS NEVER TRUSTING YOU FLOWEY.]

New places to explore and potentially children for you to torment? [Another little squint.] But yes, I imagine it is far larger than the Underground. With many more resources for us to make use of as well.

[anythingbettertodo]

[Flowey blinks up at her.] Toriel, I'm wounded.


[Besides he doesn't have the patience to deal with 98% of kids.] Then I should go exploring!

[Thinking, he sinks into the ground and resurfaces a few feet away. He bobs a little as he nods in satisfaction.]

[ambivilantgoat]

You have not given me reason to trust you considering how Frisk was 'welcomed' to the Underground. [For a moment, once he sinks into the ground, she frowns. And, honesty, is still frowning when he pops back up.]

You know that mischief will not be tolerated, we represent monsters here. [Wait, does Flowey even count as a monster? She's not even sure, there are no monsters like him that she saw before going to the RUINs.]
