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's nice to meet you Mister Combeferre. And yup, basically everyone got brought here the same way. It's really sucky but sometimes people go home! Annnnd sometimes they still come back but at least they get to go home for a bit?

[She gives a sheepish little smile and shrug.]

'm still kinda new, I mean I've been hear a couple months but I still feel like I'm getting the hang of it all.

[Wait. So not everyone was dead? This was the afterlife, was it not?

He had a lot to learn it seemed.]

How strange. Are there places where one can rent a room?

[Belatedly, he realized he didn't have any money on him.]

Or places where one could find employment?

[Naomi's not even aware some people are dead! She's in for a surprise when that happens.]

I wouldn't say rent but there are loads of rooms you can take that's how I found my apartment. People don't really use money here? 'nd most of the jobs are ones people start themselves. Like, like, someone has a clothing store, someone runs the grocery store I think, but it's a lot of bartering!

Um, if you want I can show you around?

[Combeferre smiled. No money? Just barter and free shelter? Well, that was something interesting! It made his heart feel a little lighter to hear it.

He just wished the others were there to hear it too.]

I would welcome it, if it is not too much of an inconvenience?

[That makes her giggle, her hand covering her mouth.]

If it was an inconvenience I wouldn't've offered!

[He inclined his head in thanks. Combeferre supposed that his formality would have made several of his friends give him a hard time, but, there was nothing wrong with manners. Especially, in a new situation.]

Well, then, I thank you, and welcome your assistance.

You don't need to thank me at all!

[She smiles, taking a step backwards.]

C'mon! We'll find you a place to stay too!

A fine idea.

I suppose I will have to work at getting my book collection built again.

There's a pretty big library. You can probably borrow some books from there.
