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!

[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.

[/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.]

[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.

[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.]

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.]

If they didn't learn that from me, they would have learned it from some other monster!

[Flowey droops slightly.] Oh, please. Besides we have different ideas of mischief. A little won't hurt.

Considering I was the second person to find Frisk, they would have been fine. [Stop trying to kill her child]

And what, exactly, is your idea of mischief?

Not everyone's like you, Toriel! [Kill, educate. Similar enough.]

Oh you know, setting up things for people to trip over! Stuff like that. [Head games and a lot of manipulation, but he doesn't mention that.]
