DECEMBER TEST DRIVE
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!
no subject
Demons, I believe, is the most accurate translation. Spirits I think would describe most better, we're not evil like stories say. Not all of us. [He bows his head a little.]
For the sake of ease, like this I am Nue. Otherwise I am Aoi.
no subject
No. I do not think you are evil. Aoi when you look human. Alright. You look older, like this.
[ And then a small quirk of a smile ]
Are you hungry?
no subject
Do I? Well, the Omamori-sama is ancient, I'm not the first one. Himari should have become Nue, if no one had broken into the house.
[He wonders briefly what Himari would have looked like as Omamori-sama.]
A bit. I should change back to eat but... I unfortunately have no extra clothes here. Ise and Yukari usually kept a robe on hand for me.
no subject
A possession? No. Not quite - tis not the same sound as one of the Houseless. But a...cloak, a legacy of power.
I am sorry that you were bound so, Nue. But as for clothes, that, I think I can provide although they will be a little large until I can get them altered.
no subject
[He gives a faint smile and shakes his head.]
I'm not. I have friends and purpose still and I enjoy looking after other ayakashi. And you wouldn't need to alter anything. It would just be until I get back to my clothes.
no subject
[ He hums softly. Just enjoying one's job doesn't make it right, but he won't argue ]
Ah, I do not mind sharing. Having an extra set is always useful, after all.
no subject
[Aoi's never really minded it. He can't think of many reasons to return to the outside world, even if he could. Plus no one even knows he existed anymore, there's nothing for him to go back to.]
Are you certain?
no subject
Besides, clothes here are easy to acquire, and it is not difficult to alter things. Here - this is one of mine robes, Maedhros' will be too large for you.
no subject
[So tiresome. In a gust of smoke, Nue is gone and Aoi is left in his place. Bare and looking a bit embarrassed.]
no subject
Certainly a frustrating problem. There is no way around it?
[ He is unbothered by Aoi's state, reaching over to pull his robe around him and show him the buttons and belt ]
Mm, I'm definitely going to need to take up that hem, and you will have to keep the sleeves rolled up until I can fix that, but it will do as an overrobe, at least! You look like you need a proper feeding.
no subject
[He folds up the sleeves carefully, smiling a little.]
You really don't have to go through so much trouble for me.
no subject
[ Maglor shakes his head with a smile ]
It is no trouble. I do not mind, and there is little enough else to occupy myself with. But that can wait til after we break our fast, hm?
no subject
[He's used to people caring for him, helping, but this person didn't know much about him. And isn't human or ayakashi.]
I guess it can, yeah.
no subject
[ Maglor leads them both to the kitchen, where he sets about a basic breakfast ]
I am no grand cook, I fear, but I hope you do not mind basic eggs and toast.
no subject
[Aoi watches for a moment, smiling, before stepping over to help.]
That's fine, food is food really.
no subject
A pity! There is no one else who might know?
[ He smiles as Aoi moves to help and moves to accomodate him ]
So long as it is edible, eh?
no subject
{He glances at what Maglor's doing and what else is set out.]
What can I do?
no subject
Why don't you cut us a few slices of bread and pop them in the toaster, and get the kettle going? The young lord has a wide selection of teas in his cupboard to chose from.
no subject
[Hm. Toaster. Electricity...]
I'm not sure I should. Ayakashi is electric devices, not a good mix. I accidentally blew up Himari's phone when she first came to Momochi house. I would hate to blow things up here.
no subject
That is a bad affliction to have. [ He agrees, and offers him the skillet ]
Well then - why do we not switch tasks? I will let you tend to the eggs and bacon, and I will manage the toast.
