OCTOBER 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!

Naomi Mikano / Original Character

[serenesuccessor]

10-2

Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall.

[The mantra is repeated over and over again as a teenage girl steps cautiously backwards, hands outstretched in case the watch decides to fall from where ever it is precariously balanced. There's a beat before she lowers her hands, clearing her throat.

Then she screams. Did she get your attention? She hopes so.

The scream lasts only a few seconds, and when she's done she straightens. She crosses her arms across her chest, trying to act as if she didn't just scream to get everyone's attention like a five year old.]

Hi! 'm Naomi Mikano. I just got here and I wanna just give whoever kidnapped me the heads up. My brother's gonna wreck you when he finds me.

[Because there were no 'if's in this. After the rather childish threat she relaxes, tucking a piece of black hair behind her ear. She was probably a sight to behold there on the radio, with her black and blond hair, floral dress and over sized motorcycle jacket. What might be even more strange is the glittering teal gems seemingly embedded on the back of her hands.

Normally she wore gloves to cover them but she'd taken them off earlier and forgot to put them back on. Whoops.]

So I kinda got the run down on how this all works but I've got a couple questions for the rest of you guys! [She grins then, pointing at the watch.] Who are you? What d'you do for fun? It sounds like we're all stuck in the same boat so let's be friends!

[She lowers her hands then, moving to pick up the watch. Then her eyes widen and she holds it - perhaps - a bit too close to her face]<

Oh! Oh! Also do the names Markel and Serenity mean anythin' to you?

Also is there a craft store?

4-10

[So after a rather dramatic first message to Ruby City Naomi's gotten a bit more information about what's going on. She's also found the craft store.

Early the next day finds her camped out in front of the Obelisk, seemingly engrossed in making woven bracelets. Her eyes, however, flicker up every so often to people watch. The jacket was tossed to the side, seemingly acting as a makeshift back for her supplies and finished bracelets.

She also remembered to pull her fingerless gloves back on.

Come say hi. You might get a bracelet out of it.]
