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!

[He glanced to Julian and smiled.
The sword at his hip, the arm, both are noticed by Aoi but not remarked on. He's seen some very strange things in Momochi House, not a lot was truly strange for him at this point. Except for being outside of Momochi House.]
I haven't been in the material world in years. It's a big change.
no subject
Sounds almost like you know you're from a virtual reality, or something similar. [Close, actually. Not that he knew.]
But, I should say, this isn't exactly the regular material world as you know it. This town and the island around it are isolated from everything else, from every other universe. The soul, for want of a better word, of this city itself takes people from all over the multiverse and brings us here, without a pattern to the process: some stay for years, others leave after a month – if that – and still others leave after a time and come back much older than you'd expect. I've been here without leaving for almost a year.
[Julian had no idea what situation the other guy came from, so he wasn't sure how he'd react. Given what little the island's resident 'man from the future' knew, there were quite a few possible reactions.]
By the way, my name's Julian. Yours is?
no subject
Sounds almost like Momochi House, it was isolated. Mostly. [Not many could even find their way there.]
Aoi. I'm Aoi Nanamori. Pleasure to meet you Julian.
no subject
[Not entirely, but that wasn't really a problem. He wasn't from a universe of much by way of the supernatural – it had half a dozen sentient alien races instead.]
Nice to meet you too, Aoi. I didn't say before, but my own full name is Julian Asher Arken.
Did you want anything, aside from information? There's a coffee joint close to the city centre, as well as a few other shops. We can go there, if you want.
