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!

[ Well.

Well.

At least there is something to be said for having had some time to learn the network and its functions before this, as it means there is no fumbling, no spinning screens or changing filters in the response Hak gets -- in fact, there is nothing. Not in terms of video, anyway, even though the one responding has zero faith in his own anonymity, even like this... after all, Hak would know his voice.

It is tempting, to leave the post without a response; and yet, it is still better for him to announce his presence like this- without the two of them face to face. He still remembers all too well what happened the last time they truly saw each other. ]

Not your blood... whose is it, I wonder? [ His voice, unchanged though it is, is steady, unreadable, a far cry from the bright and carefree laughs from their childhood. ]

[It is, in fact, better to announce his presence like this. Because like this, Hak can't kill him. Not immediately. And he would, without hesitation; his only regret would be that Yona didn't get to do it. Still, someone has to take out the trash.]

[The change in him is palpable immediately, even over audio. The heat of rage bleeds through the watches; he wishes it was hot enough to truly burn.]

Don't act like you don't have theories. You always do.

[ Hak would try -- he didn't promise General Joo-Doh to fight back lightly, after all, and while Hak certainly was a fearsome opponent... the current king of Kouka wasn't to be taken lightly, either.

The change in his old friend's voice is only to be expected, yet it still feels him with the same emptiness it did, before, back home. ]

I thought you might not care for those theories... Thunder Beast. [ Thought, knew, the same difference. ]

[His whole expression twitches. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, but he doesn't say it. He doesn't need to. The venom in his eyes is easy enough to see; he doesn't have to spit it, too. Not until or unless he gets a good deal angrier.]

Since when do you care about my cares, Your Majesty? Mine or anyone's? Surely you'll tell me whether I want you to or not. King Soo-Won bows to no man.

[No man. He'll bow to Yona, soon enough, right up until he loses his head.]
