[February] 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!

[She repeats it flatly, shaking her head. Weird didn't cover it. She's traveled worlds once, twice. It wasn't strange. It was just disappointing. It should have been her father waiting for her, not some land of strangers.]
[She calls after him.] I don't require much.
----
[In the time he's been gone, Torunn has taken to studying her sword. She sits cross legged in the middle of the hall, fingering the insignia on the hilt. She looks up when he's close, not quite smiling but blessedly not frowning either.]
This is fine. I'm sure its better than Tony's cooking. [She pretends that doesn't bother her to say and rises to take the blankets from him.] Are there places around here for cooked meals? Who takes care of that?
no subject
[But hey if you like soups and sandwiches he was the kid to ask!]
If you don't want to wait till tomorrow, I could go ask Maurice what he's got. He's a vampire so his place is open all night.
no subject
[Guess who lived in a dome her whole life? Torunn doesn't know these words.]
No, I'll be fine. But, a vampire? Isn't that just a kids story? Are you saying vampires are real?
no subject
Yep! I didn't think they were real either. But Maurice is cool, he'd never hurt anyone. [Er... So long as he stayed an adult that is. Fly got to meet his younger self and got quite the shiner over a small tiff. He then chuckled.] Shouldn't be too hard to believe. You're a girl that floats and wields a huge sword, after all.
[Even if he had met either of them back in California he wouldn't have been that surprised. The strange things he's seen and been through before were enough to convince him that anything was possible.]
[Once he bestowed everything to Torunn, Fly took a step back.
Need anything else?
no subject
[That makes her crack a grin. Confidence is the key.]
I'm quite normal for my world, I'll have you know. I've know robots and a mutant and someone who can shrink at will. But we do not have vampires.
[She adjusted her grip on the blankets, shrugging.]
I can manage.
no subject
Alright. If you need anything else, I'm downstairs in 2D. If not, I'll catch ya tomorrow.
[As he started turning away, he tipped his hat.]
Later Torunn.
no subject
Of course. Until then.
[With a nod, she sweeps into her room with the sword swung over her shoulder and the blankets in hand.]
