  <description>Posted by: &lt;span lj:user=&apos;rubycitymods&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos; class=&apos;ljuser&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png&apos; alt=&apos;[personal profile] &apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;rubycitymods&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llf3vauY061qd141lo1_500.gif&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking of apping a character but not sure they&apos;ll fit in the city walls?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have no fear, a meme for you is here.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Directions:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use an &lt;a href=&quot;www.random.org&quot;&gt;RNG&lt;/a&gt; to choose a location and prompt, or wait for someone else to tag.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Post with your character with their name and canon on top!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you&apos;d like, leave contact info for people to get in contact for plotting and other such shenans.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tag around! Make friends. Don&apos;t be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Locations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;small&gt;TRAIN STATION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rubycity_ooc&amp;ditemid=641197&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Make friends. Don&apos;t be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Locations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;small&gt;TRAIN STATION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas?

Make friends. Don&apos;t be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Locations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;small&gt;TRAIN STATION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas?

Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas?

Make friends. Don&apos;t be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Locations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;small&gt;TRAIN STATION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rubycity_ooc&amp;ditemid=593452&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Make friends. Don&apos;t be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Locations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;small&gt;TRAIN STATION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rubycity_ooc&amp;ditemid=577405&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Make friends. Don&apos;t be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Locations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;small&gt;TRAIN STATION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;CURRENT EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - None at the moment, but feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rubycity_ooc&amp;ditemid=552786&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

Make friends. Don&apos;t be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Locations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;small&gt;TRAIN STATION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - The place where everyone gets dumped off at. Your first view of Ruby City, complete with &lt;a href=&quot;http://conejito.dreamwidth.org/7357.html&quot;&gt;informational posters&lt;/a&gt; telling you all about where you&apos;ve ended up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;THE BEACH&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Lovely year-round, though in the winter months, you&apos;re probably not likely to dip your toes in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;THE BLACK STALLION&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - A rather quaint bar. Supposedly, the burgers are great, but you don&apos;t see anyone immediately who&apos;s willing to serve you. Maybe you&apos;re meant to get it yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;THE OBELISK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;THE CLOCKTOWER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Offering an impressive view of the city, several residents come here to clear their heads, if they don&apos;t mind braving the narrow staircase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;THE COFFEE JOINT&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - the front windows are warm and welcoming, and it seems there&apos;s always someone friendly enough to fix you a cup when you wander through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;THE CATACOMBS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Intrepid, aren&apos;t you? Those weird holes may beg exploring, but go too deep and you&apos;re going to be in a lot of trouble, considering the viciousness of the creatures held within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;THE CITY STREETS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;s no harm in doing a little sightseeing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;THE PARK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - You thought it&apos;d be a lovely stroll, but the park is anything but friendly, if those approaching wolf-like creatures are any indication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like what we&apos;ve come up with? Feel like picking your own place? There&apos;s a whole &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycitymods.dreamwidth.org/776.html&quot;&gt;host of lovely locations&lt;/a&gt; to choose from in the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Segoe&quot; script=&quot;&quot;&gt;Scenarios&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;small&gt;NEW ARRIVAL&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - 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&apos;t be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. &lt;small&gt;WATCH TALK&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Feeling lost? Disoriented? Don&apos;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. &lt;small&gt;BAD WEATHER&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Aw, man. Whether it&apos;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. &lt;small&gt;A RUN-IN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you weren&apos;t watching. Maybe they weren&apos;t. Either way, you just bumped into someone. Perhaps apologies are in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. &lt;small&gt;HELP, IT HURTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Clumsy, aren&apos;t you? Perhaps wherever the train brought you from wasn&apos;t so friendly, or you just tripped and twisted your ankle. Either way, you&apos;re in a bit of pain. Hopefully someone will notice your booboos and help patch you up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;6. &lt;small&gt;HUNGRY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - It isn&apos;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;7. &lt;small&gt;MISTAKEN IDENTITY&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Hey, there&apos;s someone you know! --Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;8. &lt;small&gt;BEING FOLLOWED&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Maybe you&apos;re just being paranoid, or maybe you&apos;ve got a reason to be afraid. Whatever it is, it feels like there&apos;s eyes on you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;9. &lt;small&gt;CURRENT EVENTS&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - None at the moment, but feel free to look through our &lt;a href=&quot;http://rubycity-ooc.dreamwidth.org/tag/event&quot;&gt;event&lt;/a&gt; tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;10. &lt;small&gt;CHOOSE YOUR OWN&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - Don&apos;t like any of these ideas? Feel free to come up with your own!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=rubycity_ooc&amp;ditemid=524548&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
