[April] 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!

Kenshi's stance was wary...not sure of the speaker's intentions at first. His intention wasn't to fight, but he would if necessary. It would have been a lot better if he wasn't all ready so disoriented. She sounded authoritative at least. Perhaps a soldier or law enforcement. Someone he could get answers from.

In the past, Kenshi would have shirked such an offer. But being prideful and arrogant cost him much in the past. His sight included. He had humbled a lot since then. He inclined his head slightly towards the voice in a slight nod.

"A warm place to regroup would be nice. And some answers." He said matter-of-fact. "I have no idea where I am or how I got here."

[kaylinneya]

"No one does when they arrive. Unless they've been here before. This is Ruby City. As for warm places, I'd recommend a restaurant or the bar. I can help you find either, if you need."

No. No, she can't. What she can help you do is get lost. Terribly terribly lost. Kaylin had been here longer than she cared to count, and she still got lost. Of course, she still got lost whenever she had to go somewhere in Elantra that wasn't part of her beat or one of her usual stops.

[blindswordsman]

"That would be appreciated actually." Kenshi gave a curt nod at the offer to find a restaurant or a bar. "This is a city? It's pretty quiet for one..."

Disturbingly quiet. The swordsman had never been in a city that wasn't buzzing with activity or the energies and minds of people.

[kaylinneya]

"It gets busy enough." She turned and started walking. She presumed that the blindfold was affectation, and that he could see just fine. He didn't offer, she didn't ask. "We're all here against our will, really. We all step off that ***** train, wind up here. No way home. We've been making the best of it."
