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!

[it is uncommon for touko to pay little attention to her surroundings. she's a naturally wary individual, has been for years; ever since the childhood that left her with her phobias and a splintered personality, she's strained to listen for sounds, scan surroundings, looking for the closest exit points just in case something goes wrong.

not that that had helped her recently. monaka had turned out to be a dead end (one that was now presumably in space. touko hates kids). she'd been no help at all to any of the now-dead future foundation heads, and wow, wasn't that just grand. though, she supposes it wasn't really her job to help any of them.

ha. that's what they get for making her an intern.

it was. something similar to this train of thought that lead touko to be so completely absorbed in herself, when she found herself abruptly shaken. more like, bumped into, by someone who looked annoyingly familiar.]

--K-Komaru!?

[Only when Komaru hears the familiar voice of her best friend calling her name does she actually look at the person she knocked over so forcefully. The apologizing mess she was seconds ago disappears as she throws her arms around Toko, her eyes already shining with tears of pure joy at seeing her dear companion again.]

Touko-chan! There you are!

[She had looked for her before settling down on the park bench, but to no avail. For a long moment Komaru had been convinced that she wouldn't see her again, probably ever. So, now she is even happier that she wasn't brought her by herself.]

Where are we?

[Without even thinking about it, Komaru looks at their surroundings as she continues clinging to Toko, much like as if the other girl would disappear if she didn't. There is no sign of anyone else, so it's unlikely that her brother came to pick them up from Towa City, isn't it?]
