[ Ruby doesn't actually need that bike thing to cross ridiculous gaps. Thanks to petal burst, she can sort of...slam into a giant red blur of rose petals and speed across the gaps? Look, it's normal back home for her, more or less. Sort of. That doesn't mean, however, that you can't find her trying out the bike anyway. At least if she falls she can handle herself without too much worry, and any attempts will be purely for the hell of it.

If you fall while trying it, though...

Well, you'll get slammed to the other side in a blur, before Ruby re-materializes from the petals. ]

Whoa! Close call, right? I'm pretty sure that net's about to give.

[ Along with everything else in this joint, but details! ]

A. ELF ATTACK
[ The lure of exploration and knowledge-seeking bring Ruby into the workshop.

...

No, okay, she saw a box of cookies from outside and like any intelligent person she beelined for it - luckily, she's got pretty damn quick reflexes. Although her hood is gripped from behind - and she confirms it isn't one of the other residents - she unhooks her gun from her belt and slams it into scythe mode to swing behind her.

Incoming elf parts! And...maybe a shelf or two. Look. It's hard to control damage in a small area, okay? ]

What?!?!

[ Why is it ALIVE ]

B. COOKIES
[ If battle isn't your thing, Ruby definitely did manage to get a small mountain of boxes of chocolate chip cookies. Does she need twenty of these? Absolutely not. Has she been stuffing her face with them anyway...? Well, of course! She's gotten through about five boxes alone, someone really needs to step in and take some off her hands before she anime-protagonist-eats them away.

Luckily Ruby's pretty easygoing about sharing, and she thrusts out an open box whenever anyone approaches where she's ended up sitting outside of the workshop. There's still cookies inside, and just inside the workshop you can probably see some downed creepy elves...she's got a lot of battle experience, okay. ]

Want some??

[ It comes out more like "Wmm smmm?" because her mouth is full. Manners are for people who aren't stuffing their faces, maybe. ]

[ Whoever happened to be walking in front of the camera when Ruby was is now officially captive to entertaining her. Like, she'll let them go if they insist, but. ]

Oooh! We should have a fashion show!

[ There's only so much to do in a dilapidated horror mall. Please play with her? ]

[ This place is always kind of creepy, but at least there's room to run around and over things. Ruby can be found stretching at the entrance, and if she sees anyone - friendly or not - she'll beam. ]

Hey! Want to have a race or something? Or we can try to fix that guy's head...uh, man, maybe we should try to clean up this place in general...

[ That last part sounds WAY less enthused than the starting part. Haha. ]

[ Well, since the department stores can have board games...Ruby has frankensteined several trashed games into one giant new game. Apparently. It's taking up like two tables in the food court shoved together and looks like, uhhhh, the work of a crazy person? Someone who is working on no sleep? Or...a lot of sugar?

Or, more accurately, a heavy dose of boredom. Look. She doesn't really do lazing around all that well, okay?

Anyway, she's just finished sort of...mashing everything together, and looks proud of herself but now she needs VICTIMS - er, people to play with her. If you happen to be walking down at this (in?)opportune moment: ]

Hey!!! Do you have some time to kill? I think it's ready!

[ This comes from user: crescentrose. ]

hey so if you have a cool weapon you should send me a picture! i'm bored.

[ If none of the above are your speed, throw whatever my way or hit me up at Maggie#0451 or via PM to discuss something different. Feel very free to assume CR, since none of this is canon. Ruby's friendly as hell, so she's reasonably likely to have tried to get to know just about anyone. ]
