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!

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.))

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.

[crankshawphotos]

[Ian tilted his head every so slightly before reaching into his pocket for a disposable camera and taking a picture of her.]

I do now. For a while at least.

[He doesn't seem phased by the maggot speaking.]

[graceful_dead]

What was that?

I don't know, maggot.

[And to Ian:] What was that thing?

[Emily is still getting used to the watches making moving pictures, this is all amazing to her.]

[crankshawphotos]

It was a camera. [His voice is low and quite, as if it isn't used much and his hood still obscures his face.] It takes pictures so you can remember events more easily.

[graceful_dead]

Oh, too bad Victor isn't here. I'm sure he'd love a "picture".

[Clap clap!]

[crankshawphotos]

Another time perhaps. [And he pockets the camera, moving off.]

[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?

[crankshawphotos]

[Ian's eyes look up from the floor to see a man with bright red hair asking him a question. It intrigued him. So he simply nodded and moved over to one of the benches in the station. Here, he removed his bag from his shoulder and carefully took out a large (and expensive looking) camera.

Lining it up carefully, he checked the filters before snapping a shot of Lea. He smiled under the hood very slightly before placing the camera back into his bag.]

[radiantflames]

[Lea watches as the guys takes a picture of him.]

What was that for?

[crankshawphotos]

Remembrance.

[radiantflames]

Are you forgetful or something?

[Tact? Who needs tact?]

[crankshawphotos]

[Ian snorted.] Not exactly. But you can't remember everything. And I've never seen hair likes yours.

[radiantflames]

[Lea smirks.]

Then my hair alone should be enough to remember me by.

I'm Lea, got it memorized?

[crankshawphotos]

[Ian nodded.] Yeah. I got it. Thanks.

[And he shouldered his bag again, wandering back towards the exit.]

[radiantflames]

[Lea is a bit confused by the guy's abrupt departure.]

You know, the polite thing to do would be to tell me your name as well?

[crankshawphotos]

[Ian shrugged and called back.] I know.

[radiantflames]

[Lea throw his hands up at the response and calls him out one last time.]

Well, alright then, Camera Guy. See you around, I guess!

[crankshawphotos]

[Ian walked almost out of sight before he stopped. Sighing, he turned back.] It's Ian.

[radiantflames]

[With that knowledge, Lea amends his previous statement.]

See you around, then, Ian!

[crankshawphotos]

[Ian nodded. Leaving again.]
