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!

[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.

[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.]

[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.]

[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.]

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 Totally outdated.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

[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.

[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.))

[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.]

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!

[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.]

[ 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.~~ ]

[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.]
