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!

She nodded at her. "Yeah. I was in Paris a few minutes ago, so I am guessing this is one of the traps from the Stormking. Or perhaps the Muse of Time. Either way, I am something less than amused. Impressed, yes, amused, no. But while I'm here, I might as well see what can be learned, right? Then I can build whatever needs building to get us both back where we belong."

This human might as well be talking in code, because Alphys sure doesn't know what she's on about.

"I-I don't...This isn't...I don't understand." Is this a dream? Did she fall asleep? Did she pass out? She keeps going through the moments that happened just before she found herself on the train. She was with her friends, the barrier was broken, they had all just stepped out, Papyrus ran ahead, Undyne went after him and Alphys followed her...

..and then she woke up on the train.

No, nope. That doesn't make sense. None of this makes sense. Did she actually black out twice in so little time?

"I-i-it doesn't make sense. I...I need to find my friends."

[agathaheterodyne]

She nodded. "If they're here, I'll help, if not, just getting us home should do it, right?" she asked, cheerfully. She stood and realized that with the heights... it wouldn't be too unlike walking with Krosp. Hopefully without the disdain... but then, Krosp was a cat.

"Don't worry," she added cheerfully, "I'm a Spark, so whatever science it takes to get us home, I'm sure I'll figure it out."

[ She...she likes science. And this human is being nice. She might be really confusing, but she does sound like she wants to help, and Alphys could use some help right now. In fact- there's not much else she can do right now, right?

She looks up at Spark, still fiddling her claws a bit, but...she's willing to trust her. ]

Y-yeah...yeah.
I'm...my name's Alphys.

[agathaheterodyne]

"Nice to meet you, Alphys, I'm Agatha Heterodyne." After so long hiding her name, she was surprised how easily it came out. Almost like she was finally finding some pride in it.

"First things first, we arrived on a train. So... do we explore, or do we dismantle the..." she turned and found the train gone. "Coward," she muttered. "Okay, exploring it is, then?" She gave a bright cheerful smile.
