THE TEST-DRIVE MEME!

1. Using a journal of a character you've considered apping in Ruby City, post a comment as if they're already in the game! It can be audio/video, accidental/on purpose, intro/been there for ages.

2. Tag around with others--potential characters or characters who are already in the game--to see how well they fit.

3. Get a better idea of how well they'd work out in Ruby City, and app or not app accordingly!

Emily || The Corpse Bride

[graceful_dead]

[A... Well... A blue skinned young woman in a very decayed wedding gown steps on the train and picks up the watch curiously. As the video activates, one of her eyes fall out and rolls along on the ground and a maggot sticks itself out to talk.]

This doesn't look like the church.

It's not, maggot. Where is Victor? And where did this watch come from?

[Stooping down now to pick up her eye and pop is back into the socket. The maggot just pops out of her ear then.]

He probably got cold feet. He is about to kill himself for you, after all.

Aristeo Regis / OC [video]

[betteroffdead]

[A man in a rather odd red and black jacket and a shirt with lace collar raises an eyebrow at her. There is something mocking to his vaguely interested expression, yet that he has responded at all gives away his curiosity.]

I don't believe we have a church but there is a rather interesting cathedral.

[Video -> Action]

[makemelaugh]

...

[A corpse. A walking and talking corpse and apparently she hasn't lost her soul, but she is still alive...!

Undertaker is hurrying to the train station with excitement.]

Legolas || Lord of the Rings

[keeps_count]

[Legolas can be found sitting in the station, dressed formally and a crown on his head. At his side, on the bench, are a pair of swords. Where they came from, he isn't sure, they'd been with him when he had awoken but he was thankful for them. Being in a strange place without weapons was unnerving.

There may be no orcs or other creatures here to attack or kill him, but he preferred being armed if he could be. He'd have to craft himself a bow quickly, and arrows. Swords were only so good in certain situations, after all.]

Ashitaka || Princess Mononoke

[eyes_unclouded]

[He is new as well, wandering from the train totally bewildered by the city around him. The first person he sees is this light colored man. He'd never... he'd never seen such bright hair on a human before]

Excuse me, do you live here?

Panty | | Panty, Stocking and Gaterbelt

[sexual_gunarchy]

[A quite curvy babe can be found emerging from the train. She is graced with womanly curves, hips and wearing a fine red dress with matching heels. In a word-she is heavenly and a glow seems to radiate from her very form.

Suddenly the image is ruined as she stretches her arms wide and gives a load obnoxious yawn. A burp soon follows and a long finger comes and wiggles around in her ear, searching for gold one would say. It is after these moments that she looks around and catches a glimpse of her surroundings.]

Well this isn't Daten City. This is just unfortunate.

[She appears mildly distrassed. A groan sounds and she looks down at the ground, where she sees the watch. Picking it up she flipped it around on its sides, inspecting it.]

What is this? Some kinda flashy bling for a lovely angel! Well this place isn't turning out so bad!

[She clicks a button.]

Hey any good studs out there? Can some kind big boy give me a notice or some form of information about this place. Please I'm all lost and misplaced.

[She bats her eyelids, lets out a worried moan and pushes her breasts together for the show before she shuts the feed off.]

Izaya Orihara || Durarara!! [Currently Reserved]

[humanity_lover]

[Out of nowhere, a skinny young man dressed all in black with short black hair drops down from the roof of the train platform]

I hear you're looking for information? I suppose we could work out a deal for something, though it doesn't look like you have much on you to trade...

[Looks a little disinterested, does a few quick calculations in his head then bounces back almost immediately]

Oh, well, I'm sure you'll be able to pay me back later. But where are my manners? I'm Izaya Orihara, professional info broker. What would you like to know?

[He bows theatrically and grins.]

Guy Cecil || Tales of the Abyss || Currently Reserved

[brilliant_gardios]

[Well this was odd. Guy didn't remember getting on any manner of fontech transportation, much less this vehicle. So when he shows up in the station, he's rather confused.]

Uh, hey. Is anyone here?

[He calls it out, not realizing that there's a watch hanging from his belt until he turns and the thing smacks against his leg none-too-gently. He picks it up, staring into the currently open face, then grows excited as he realizes it's some kind of technology.]

Oh! Is this some sorta fontech? It's so cool, I'd really like to take it apart! Augh, if only I had some tools...!!

[And if only he noticed it's currently broadcasting.]

Poland | Axis Powers Hetalia

[liketotally]

[Okay, so, like these watch things? Totally outdated. But that's okay. Poland is here to fabulous things up by 110%. Incoming text barrage!]

Re: Poland | Axis Powers Hetalia

[captaineffingmagic]

[Harry notices the text barrage and through some combination of pokes and prods manages to answer it, though the video is in way too close a close up and his voice is kind of quiet]

Hey! '90s font fairy! Wanna turn down the glitter a little? Some of us are still a little hung over.

[He holds the comm at various lengths to try and get a decent angle]

Harry Lockhart | Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

[captaineffingmagic]

[A beat-up looking man in rumpled clothes gets off the train, talking rapidly to no one in particular, his watch-thing broadcasting almost without a thought]

So I finally get off this train in the middle of some burg that makes even my hometown look good in comparison-- yeah, I know, it's hard, but this place really does do it-- and all of a sudden I can't remember how I got on the train. I figure I'm working a case, because I have to take this detective thing seriously, but it all seems like there's something rotten in Denver.

[Yeah, I know, it's Denmark, there too]

I get off the train, and everything's gone all Twilight Zone on me, except I don't even have the option of that guy narrating-- which is fine, there's only supposed to be one narrator, and that's me, so screw off-- but it really means I don't know what's going on. So...yeah. Anyway, Hi. I'm Harry. Welcome to...

[He freezes and suddenly frowns]

Crap, I don't know where the hell this is.

Ian Crankshaw || OC

[crankshawphotos]

[A traveller steps out onto the platform with a sad smile on his face. He is wearing a dirty hooded poncho made of a rough fabric, with a pair of obviously well used cargo pants and some sandals that were falling apart. His skin was so many different colours you weren’t sure what it originally was and you certainly couldn’t tell where he was from. His sunglasses seemed to be the only things not partially broken and they kept his eyes hidden, just like the hood kept most of the face hidden.

Looking up, he glanced at the posters around the station and shrugged, shouldering the bag which he with him and trudged through the entrance, looking around at the buildings. He shrugged again.] Home sweet home.

((OOC: Ian's not found his watch yet so Action only and I apologise.))

Re: Ian Crankshaw || OC

[graceful_dead]

Oh, you live here?

[Hey there, Ian. How's a dead woman as a welcoming party? Is that great or is that great? Look, her left arm is even a little "bony". Haha, get it?

After a moment... A maggot pops out of her ear and laughs.]

Of course not. This place is the die for.

[radiantflames]

[Lea's out wandering around the city when he spots this guy. The guy looked a bit worn all around, but something about him made Lea curious. He could tell he most likely wasn't from Lea's world, and he wasn't someone Lea had seen here before.]

You new here?

Kirei Kotomine | Fate/Zero

[seeyousuffer]

[A tall, solitary figure stands at the station.

Kirei turns the pocket watch over in his hands, studying it with a blankness that has nothing to do with being dazed by his arrival here. His eyes are simply empty. He opens and shuts the watch. He hears a voice--voices--coming from it, but he doesn't try to use the device yet.

He holds the communicator in one hand, and with the other, he reaches up to touch the cross at his chest. Then he glances down at the hand itself. The back of it is marked with jagged, curling, red symbols. He concentrates on them for a moment, then hesitates, as if expecting something to happen. Nothing does.

Without a noise, he turns and walks into the city. From here, he can see the tower of the cathedral rising up into the sky, and he makes his way toward it. Where else would he go first, in this strange place? As he walks, he remains tense, alert to all his surroundings. This isn't where he's supposed to be, and he's experienced enough unusual phenomena to know he doesn't trust it.]

Omg y hallo thar

[loveidea]

[Sariel is doing what he always does, ever since he arrived here anyway, which is staying up high to look down at everything- and everyone- else. He has no interest in making connections, but hey. He has to do something.

Like sit at the edge of a roof, watching the new arrival.]

If you're looking for answers you might want to start at the train station.

[Just a friendly piece of advice.]

Aristeo Regis / OC

[betteroffdead]

Doesn't this quaint little town of yours sport a single respectable graveyard?

[There is a young man on the video screen and he is quite irritated at the moment. He is kneeling in front of a small pile of bleached bones and skulls, yet he gives it a scornful glare. No surprise, these are merely animal bones, though he is wearing some human bones and a human skull on his belt. The clothes that go with the macabre decorations are no less bizarre, with his velvet jacket and lacey poet's shirt he looks as if he had stepped right out of a vampire novel.]

Will I truly be forced to kill someone to gain possession of a decent corpse? It's ridiculous!

[Video]

[makemelaugh]

It is the very same question I have had since my arrival~!

[Whoever this man is, he can understand what he is going through. And the way he's dressed makes Undertaker wonder if he's also interested in human anatomy.]

A pleasure to meet you, Sir. You can call me Undertaker~

Devcon / Transformers Universe 03 [video]

[badafthunter]

[Devcon isn't having a good Solar-cycle. Scratch that - he isn't having a good vorn. He's currently staring at the sky, a frown in his face. This... isn't Cybertron.

For a mech like him, meant for deep space, being lost is a novelty. Being in unknown territory, however, means trouble. He cycles a slow intake and stares at the watch in his hand.]

...right.

[Kicking his thrusters to life might be foolish - he's been there, done that. A slaggin' trap, no doubt. Getting intel would be the better option. Next question would be: who did it? 'Cons? Ugh, Quints? He knows he's being watched, and offers a wicked grin.]

The name's Devcon. [A beat, then-] I was on my way back to Archa Nine, and now I seem to have misplaced myself. First slagger to tell me where I am, gets a crate of high grade.

[And, that should do it.]

[video]

[morethanpasta]

Uwah!

[These are two very wide and disbelieving eyes staring at you there, Devcon.]

You're a talking metal man!

[His voice is barely above a whisper, partly from awe, but just as much from fear. Talking metal men are scary, after all. The only reason he dared respond at all is that he recalls meeting another metal man called Scorponok a few times soon after he had arrived.]

Terra | Kingdom Hearts

[earthshaking]

[ my goodness who is this dashingly dressed young man with the huge pants stepping off the train and looking faintly puzzled at his watch. maybe if he prods at it enough he'll figure out what it does? which conveniently enough manages to switch the video feed on. ]

This doesn't look like any world I've been to...

[ what an astute observation. oblivious (for now) to the fact that he's actually turned his watch on, he'll be looking around the station for a bit before moving to look around the surrounding area, if anyone wants to enlighten him as to his situation and prevent him from running into any villains and making more terrible life decisions. ]

[glidingheart]

[Ven's boredom was reaching new heights so he kept prodding at the watch in his room, trying not to let his mind wander what he knew was going to happen when he finally let this place.

Then, all of a sudden, he sat up. A certain person had arrived whom he recognised and he wasn't at all happy at the sight. Sure that Aqua had seen it too, he escaped through the window on his glider instead of via the door, landing not far from the station and walking in with his Keyblade summoned.

Seeing Terra, Ventus did his best to whack him around the head with said Keyblade before walking off again. No words. No explanation. Just a simple attack.]

[asapphireheart]

T-Terra!!

[That's the only kind of reply he gets over the watch before Aqua is pulling on a pair of sneakers and pulling on her necklace, the pin that marks them as Keybearers hanging from the chain rather than strapped across her chest and she runs out of the apartment and downstairs.

It doesn't take her more than five minutes to get there, and she's barely out of breath when she does get there.

He'll notice a distinct change in Aqua's appearance. She looks a couple years older now and has much longer hair than she used too, thanks to France's objections to her cutting her hair, and she's dressed nothing like she did when they were studying under Eraqus.

And she just throws herself at him for a hug.]

Rin Tezuka || Katawa Shoujo

[quiet_like_the_sky]

[This girl steps off the train without any fight. In fact, she shows no real sign that she realizes she isn't at home. It doesn't take long for her to start exploring silently, padding around the station with steps that seem to be taken without any regard to the ground below them, yet never causing a problem for her balance. Good thing, too; she's missing both of her arms. Instead, the boy's uniform that she's wearing has the sleeves tied up to hide the stumps underneath. It leaves an odd figure behind, although she'd be odd anyway with her behavior.]

[action]

[morethanpasta]

[This nation happens to be good dealing with oddities, mostly on virtue of being oblivious to them.

His face lights up as he catches sight of the pretty girl wandering around all on her own and he approaches her with a friendly smile.]

Ve~ you look a little bit lost! You are a newcomer, aren't you?
