[March] 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!

Sophie | Saga

[rebrands]

[A]

[She'd been stumbling around the catacombs for a while now, chewing on her lip while she braced against the wall with one hand and turned her watch over in the other. Maybe it was stupid to come down here alone, but people would have just talked to her like she was a kid! They wouldn't have treated her the same way Miss Gwendolyn or The Brand did. Still...]

Of course it was stupid, [she mumbles to herself, then sucks her breath in sharply as she hears something from...further down the tunnel? The next tunnel over? Everything was so hard to judge in here. Sophie adjusts her glasses, giving her lip one last uncertain bite before she flips the watch open.]

Um, hi. Hello. So would there maybe be a map of the catacombs somewhere, or someone who can come find me? If not, my name is Sophie and it was nice meeting you.

[Imminent death of a child was a good way to gather up some forces, right? And hey, maybe the tunnel noises were actually something harmless!]

[B]

[I forgot what my other idea was, so throw your own scenario here!]

Regarding [A]

[arken7]

[Julian had believed he knew quite a bit about the city already, but he'd only been here for a week. Thus, he was relatively unprepared for ending up in the catacombs. People had mentioned it in passing – that you were best off getting out as soon as possible and that any deep exploration would lead to numerous encounters with highly dangerous creatures.]

Dammit. Why did I go down that alley?

[He was moving warily – he had his F-S knife out – but ignored the indiscernible noises. Strange noises in dark areas were bad things. Then he heard a distinctly human voice. When he saw them he knew they were completely lost.]

Hey. Behind you.

[He sheathed his knife so as to not seem threatening as he spoke.]
