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!

free rent?
well i guess theyd have to in a dump like this
what do i just pick a place and squat

yup! i mean no one has come collecting so! and everything's been free so far. and yeah I basically just picked an apartment and claimed it as my own.

and thats ok with the local government

i don't think there really is a local government outside of whoever brought us here. but they're not around much. i mean at least not in the two months i've been here.

what
they dont even show up to chuckle ominously at their victims or anything
so far this experiences shaping up to be mad underwhelming here

nope at least not as far as i know. really failing on their villain 101.
Some crazy stuff does happen so probably won't be too underwhelming??? not that the crazy stuff is fun. Like the haunted house business. i'm still kind of new so that's the craziest thing that's happened to me outside of being able to fly but i've heard there's been some really scary things that happened or just random.
... y'know maybe we should hope for it to stay underwhelming until we can go home.

panda pal you have no sense of adventure
but also
what kind of scary or random things
haunted house business??

Oh trust me. I have a sense of adventure.

well the haunted house was in october and it was basically random people got taken to this hotel that turned into a haunted house and we had to figure out a buncha puzzles to get out. like first we met a sphinx. then the next room was this giant chasm my group conga lined across on faith.
then there were the theastrals last month. they weren't bad just creepy.

you didnt have to kill anyone though right

noooo? at least no one was trying to kill anyone as far as i know.

[She doesn't know about any of the cities past events, like on Dangan Ronpa inspired event...]

plus i'd never do that!! no matter what was going on you can't kill people.

[He breathes out a shaky sigh of relief. It's just, he saw the word hotel, and...]

right
right
good for you
thats the kind of solid moral statement i like to hear

so puzzles and shit
kind of sounds more like a video game huh

[If she understood she probably would apologize about not clarifying that it's not a murder hotel.

The start of his response does leave her a little puzzled, but she has the small inkling that maybe she shouldn't push it... Plus the response reminded her of Kou and he hated it when she pushed something.]

i guess but i'm so bad at video games it was like HELL plus the sphinx scared me half to death! i probably would've sat there crying the whole time if Mrs Kujo and Jane hadn't been there.

how are sphinxes scary
arent they just big cats with wings and a smugdouche riddlesome attitude
