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!

Yeah. Don't mind it unless there are cracks running through. It keeps the less friendly creatures out of the city, so it's important that it stays in one piece.

[He only cast a brief glance its way, enough for him to be sure that it wasn't about to shatter.]

You'll get used to it being there, eventually.

[The young man led them down the road that led to the Library.]

There it is. If you don't want to get lost for an hour or more, it'd be best for you to tell me now. It's like a maze in there, trust me.

[There's something trouble about the idea of an inanimate object keeping any kind of creatures out to Yona. Not that she'd exactly want creatures running through the city that could hurt people or anything like that, but who knows what kind of effect something like that has on the people who live here? But he dismisses it so quickly, only sparing it a passing glance as they go past it toward the library that Yona bites back her questions and allows him to continue leading the way without slowing or stopping. She can (probably) find someone else to ask a little later if she doesn't get the chance to ask him.]

[She comes to a stop beside him outside the library. She looks up at the building first and then at him, questioningly.]

A maze?

More a figure of speech than a reality, but it is hard to find what you're looking for inside.

[He stops walking long enough to open the doors and let her enter first.]

The system of categorisation is one I don't recognise and books rarely are in the same place two days in a row, even though there's few enough people who frequent the building. There are ghosts that sometimes wander through, though. They're usually unobtrusive and pretty friendly, but they don't talk; they might mess up the organisation.

Also, surest way to the front if you can't remember is to follow one wall.
