[January] Test Drive
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!

Chen leans out of the door to shake the snow off his hat. After a rumble of laughter, he returns the straw to the top of his head and plods further into the shop.]
What wintry weather we're having today! It reminds me of my first time stepping out of Timbermaw Hold...
[He stops abruptly, fiery eyes falling on the skeleton before him. Could it be...? With a pleasant chuckle, the pandaren starts forward with a hand in the air. The other is busy holding his staff.]
Hello, friend! Curious meeting you here. I see the peace treaty is still in effect. You must be glad!
no subject
But then the fellow speaks with such familiarity. Sans can't help but do the equivalent of raising his eyebrows.]
Winter's kinda what I'm used to, honestly.
[As to be polite, Sans reaches to shake hands with the furred creature; so politely, he didn't even try any gags!]
But...I think you got me mixed up with someone else, buddy. I don't believe I've met ya.
[Though the amiable nature and excessive size does remind him of someone he knows, this is hardly Asgore.]
no subject
No, I don't believe you have. But that is fine! I am called Chen Stormstout. May I have your name?
no subject
Ooh, that's a fancy one. Me, I'm just Sans. Nice to meet'cha.
no subject
[Chen barks a laugh, head tossed back in overwhelming amusement. If Sans were to meet the entire family, he'd quickly realize they only have one fancy member, and that pandaren is Chen's own brother.]
In any case, well-met, Sans. Would you like to share a meal with me? I already have something to drink, but... well...
[He peers out of the cafe. Just to the side of the doors stands an unusually large keg. There's only one person present who could stand lugging such a heavy object around without magic, and it definitely isn't the skeleton.]
I've encountered a problem.
