Crescent Rose

As a girl, I wanted to be just like those heroes in the books... Someone who fought for what was right, and protected people who couldn't protect themselves!

“Eh?” Illya stared at the other, tugging on her own hair as she looked at herself left and right in a frantic manner, “I-is it a good thing?” She asked meekly while shrinking back a little, looking down self consciously. A small smile appeared on her as the other cleaned the misunderstanding, “If you think it is, then I guess it is, so thank you!”

;;—❀ } The red haired girl smiled at the other and nodded. Doll-like, It’s not like it’s a bad thing, right? She’d think to herself. ❝ Yeah, of course it’s a good thing! ❞ Ruby paused, worried their conversation would be short lived, she frantically thought of a conversation starter ❝ Soo, ❞ she started, mostly trying to buy time to think of a topic. ❝ N-Nice whether, h-huh? ❞ Smooth, Ruby. Smooth. ❝ Oh, uh... I’m Ruby! Ruby Rose. ❞ She introduced herself, hopefully playing off her terrible first impression.

hardcore parkour;

@combatskirts

There were a lot of skills that Sun proudly possessed and acrobatics was merely one out of many. Perhaps it was partly due to his faunus heritage, being part monkey, or perhaps due to his adventurous personality. Either way, Sun found himself using this skill to his advantage. From traveling to stowing away (he’s a great stowaway), Sun’s usage of parkour wasn’t about to decrease anytime soon. He was practically a master! 

So when Sun discovered some big ass park in the central, his first move was to parkour all over the place! With many amenities to keep busy with, ranging from slide structures to trees, Sun was thoroughly enjoying himself. He spread out his time between finding something new to climb on and just hanging around (literally) to watch people move by. Pausing to watch usually only lasted moments, though, since he usually got bored and preferred to remain active. 

Before he moved, Sun noticed an usually bright red cape walking one of the paths.. There was only one person he knew with a cape that red (Scarlet had his weird shoulder thing, but that didn’t count, Sun thought). With a chipper smile, Sun prepared himself to leap from one tree to the next in order to place himself next to the familiar face. In a city of strangers, the familiarity was welcomed.

Being the master he was, Sun decided to take the riskier route and parkour right over to the red-hooded figure. And, that he did. But… Well, even masters messed up sometimes. 

He’d most definitely miscalculated the branch nearest his goal─ it was not stable enough to hold his build. And with that, the moment he landed, the frail tree crunched under his weight and sent him colliding to the ground just before his friend. At least he didn’t land on her, yea?

Sun grumbled, rubbing his head as he looked up with a cheesy smile upon his face.

“Hey there, Lil’ Red!”

;;—❀ } Ruby was an extraordinary girl, who was capable of many things... But... One of those things certainly was not socializing. It wasn’t to say Ruby was an unfriendly person, more awkward than anything. Not only was she a stuttering wreck when she talked to strangers, but given her attire people were often drawn to her. What’s with the get up? Are you cosplaying? And other questions of the sort. 

    After another confrontation on the topic of her bizarre clothing Ruby marched to a nearby with the bright red hood over her head. ❝ No, sir, I am not wearing a halloween costume...!! Arrrg! How hard is it to understand, it’s a combat skirt! A c-o-m-b-a-t-s-k-i-r-t. This town is just full of weirdos... ❞ Ruby murmured to herself, pouting. Ruby looked down and to the side ❝ Okay, maybe I’m a little weird too... ❞ A little weird... The dark haired girl paused again before conversing with herself once again. 

     ❝ Okay... Everyone is a little weird, but that’s not the point! The point is—... ❞  Ruby cut her words short when she bumped into a stranger to her left. With her peripheral vision as limited as it was with her hood covering her head, it was hard to see where she was going. The huntress, blurted out an apology then rushed ahead of the crowd to avoiding repeating the incident. After distancing herself far enough from the others, Ruby stopped in her tracks and pulled down her hood when she heard a loud, ear ringing snap.

    The girl raised her head and was started by the sight of a collapsed tree. Just a few seconds prior to that cracking noise, the tree was standing happily where it was. Ruby frowned ❝ That poor tree... ❞ So busy feeling empathy for the broken tree, it took her a moment after noting her pain towards the tree to notice a familiar face. Silver eyes widened as she starred at the face planted boy at her feet. She paused, then reached one arm out to help him out ❝ Are you... Are you okay? ❞  Ruby laughed sheepishly while she helped the other up ❝ Fancy meeting you here, Sun. ❞ Whoa, wait.

❝ Whoa, wait... ❞ Ruby processed her thoughts, until she realized seeing Sun at a place like this wasn’t really... normal. ❝ Sun..!? What are you doing here, when did you get here!? ❞

Apologies for the slowness with starters! School is picking up a little bit again and I have two art galleries I need to do some planning and research for, that’s whats been keeping me busy. I’ll still be around, but starters will probably be one-liners and I won’t post a starter someone liked for unless they have been active within the past week! Sorry if this is being strict I just want to make sure people I make starters for actually reply! Thanks in advance, I hope you all enjoy Meme day ^^

She hadn’t been in the city long, this strange new place was still left unexplored, but the heiress had bigger things to worry about; such as finding her team-mates who practically deserted her! Even worse, their leader left without a trace! Unbelievable.

So now here she was, scouting the city with her heels clicking against the concrete pavement…Though it seemed the Gods were shining down on her today as it wasn’t long before she spotted a flash of red amongst a sea of business suits.

Now, instead of chasing after her, Weiss chose the more convenient way of getting the other’s attention:

Standing on a nearby bench and shouting over to the other, classy.

      “RUBY ROSE—” pointing finger straight to her, yes her vision was that good. “How dare you leave your team like that! I am shocked beyond belief!”

[combatskirts-blog]

;;—❀ } Koi was a nice city, but it never really felt like home. At least not like the home she was used to. There weren’t any monsters to fight on missions, and there wasn’t an entire school just for training huntsmen and huntress’. Ruby went to school here, but it wasn’t anything like Beacon. It was just a normal, ordinary boring old school. 

     Not only did it not feel like home, but the people around her weren’t the people she could call friends. I mean, sure, people here were pretty nice but it wasn’t the same without her team. Without Jaune and Phyrra and everyone else. Why she even came here in the first place even now was a mystery. It was an offer, and she accepted. Well, more like she was pushed to accept it, then rushed out of Vale without saying a word to anyone... But the fact was she still came.

      It wasn’t rare for people to ask about her clothes, it was a little annoying to constantly have to explain what it was, but at least people paid attention to her. Besides, she really did stick out in a sea of grey with her red cloak. The shorter girl pressed her way through the crowd until a familiar voice flew over the crowd of people. Silver eyes brightened and Ruby swung her head around to see the girl with snow white hair. A bright smile curled at her lips followed by an exaggerated wave ❝ Weiss..! Weiss!! ❞ Ruby yelled back with her voice filled with excitement. Before given the chance to use her speed to get over to her partner— or her “bestie” —Ruby was caught off guard when her friend continued.

      It wasn’t surprising that was her reaction, she did leave them without warning of any sort. Ruby lowered her head and looked at the ground for a few seconds, while the crowd scattered. Weiss wasn’t wrong, that was for sure. ❝ Sorry... ❞ was the only thing she could say. The girl walked over to her friend to explain herself.  ❝ It’s just-... Right. ❞ Ruby stopped herself before she could find the words she was looking for. 

     Before she knew it her mouth started moving and words attempting to explain just started flowing out ❝ Something came up, and then I ended up having to come hear really short notice, and I didn’t get the chance to tell anyone where I was going— I swear, I wanted to tell you guys! —and then I’ve been living in an apartment with someone I don’t think I’ve actually met yet but now it’s a little too late— but that doesn’t really matter —and since then I’ve been living here and I didn’t know how to get in touch—... ❞ Ruby’s mouth was running at the speed of a new motor on it’s first run. She continued to ramble about everything that had happened up until this point, until finally she took a breath and looked down at again.

      ❝ And Weiss... I’m really, really sorry to you and everyone else. But I PROMISE it will never happen again. ❞

;;—❀ } How long had it been? Tick. Tock. Tick. The clock had been ticking for what felt to be hours (it was only about ten minutes). What kind of studies were these anyways? After leaving Vale, instead of learning to be a huntress Ruby was stuck learning about boring stuff, like math and english. The girl outstretched her arms across her study book, across the table, far enough her hand tounched the books of the boy sitting across from her. The girl loud out a deep sigh and picked at a graffiti on the table. ❝ Man... This really bites. ❞ She complained. Ruby was more of the type of learn through doing things, not from sitting in a room reading or writing.

;;—❀ } After waking up late this morning, Ruby skipped breakfast in order to make school in time. In the afternoon, while walking home her stomach rumbled and she checked her pocket for change. It wasn’t much, probably enough for a little bite to eat at a food stall. Ruby peeked her head around the body of  the person at the back of the line to look at the prices, careful not to hit them with the folded weapon behind her cloak. She groaned, ❝ Come oon, isn’t anything in this city just a little cheaper..!? ❞ Ruby complained holding her stomach that let out another loud growl. ❝ Hush you. ❞ she pouted.

;;—❀ } It had been ten minutes since Ruby waited at the public washroom. Someone had been in there much longer than you would expect. Where they hiding? Or maybe they were just taking their time, even so the huntress found herself worried for whoever was inside.  ❝ Hey, uh... Are you okay? ❞ Ruby paused worried she was being intrusive.  ❝ Sorry to be pushy, but you’ve been in there for a while... ❞

The other girl was both younger and smaller than her like one of the dolls the other girls used to play with while Ruby day dreamt of being a huntress.  ❝ W-Wait, I mean that as a compliment! Er, that’s a compliment right..? ❞

Alrighty, I know I’m a little rusty since its been a while, but I have enough time to handle more threads again. That being said, like for a starter? I’ll leave it without a cap for now and they’ll probably be short.

      Mini skirts are the things anime characters wear, ok? Love yourself.”

[combatskirts-blog]

;;—❀ } The dark haired girl was taken aback by the comment of a stranger. Eyebrows knitted in confusion when she turned to face the other. ❝ Wha-.. Cosplaying...? ❞ She managed to sputter out the words. The girl looked down at her outfit, a black dress and corset with red linings and a red long hooded cloak. ❝ No one back home ever said anything like that. ❞ She murmured in a low voice. No one back in Vale ever made such a comment, in fact many people dressed in a similar fashion. As soon as the word “mini skirt” fell from the others mouth Ruby became somewhat defensive, just as Weiss had once before. ❝ M-Mini skirt!? Are you kidding, has no one around here ever heard of a combat skirt? What a bunch of weirdos! Plenty of huntress’ wear these, there’s absolutely nothing abnormal about them! ❞

Hello everyone Senna/Tea here! I’d like to apologize for my absence for the past month. I’m getting ready for university applications and being smothered by school. My hiatus ran out a few days ago, so starting now I’ll be doing my best to balance both kny duties, roleplaying and school work. 

I’d also like to note I’ll be dropping all my current threads and starting from scratch. I’ll post an rp ad in a few days when I have a little more time, just as I’ll follow the new additions to the masterlist! Thank you all for being wonderful ^^

Hinami didn’t go to school; despite her age, it was impossible for her due to her ghoulish nature. However, that didn’t make her unaware of the excitement in the air as everyone prepared to go back to school themselves. And the anticipation was contagious.

So even though she didn’t need any supplies herself, she found herself wandering around an office supply store, basket in hand, looking equally at packs of colorful pens and the others shopping around her. She could use the pens for writing, anyway. And they were cute…

She took a step back, trying to convince herself to move to another (less tempting) aisle, and ran into a warm body. Startled, she jumped back into the racks, sending packs of pens cascading to the bottom of the display. With a groan, she turned back to the person she’d run into.

“Ah, I’m sorry–I didn’t mean to run into you; I didn’t realize you were there.” As she talked, she realized the girl looked around her own age; a little younger, perhaps. Or not. Hinami wasn’t very good at judging these things. Still, she didn’t know many girls her own age… She fidgeted, pressing the edge of her skirt between her fingers as she dared to ask a question. “Um… do you go to school around here?”

;;—❀ } The red cloak around her neck Ruby walked down the aisle of the store. The store was filled with a fair amount of people, probably here for the same reason she was. Ruby usually referred to this kind of setting as 'The back-to-school-hype 2.0′. Of course the 2.0 was for no reason other than it sounded cool. Ruby groaned, the thought of going back to school was unbearably boring. Ruby didn’t hate school, but there no way the school here was anything like Beacon or Signal academy. It was just an ordinary school, there were no fighting classes on becoming a huntsmen or huntress. Even attending a school like this, Ruby knew some day she would become a huntress and there was nothing that could stop her.

    ❝ Okay Ruby, what is the usual kind of supplies you need for school. ❞ Ruby walked down aisle after aisle, without anything she needed really in mind. She created a mental checklist. Paper, check. Pencils, check. Erasers, check. Ruby looked at the carts around her, everyone had mountains of supplies while Ruby’s basket only had a few items.❝ Come on! What else is there to have!? ❞ Ruby turned down the next aisle, only one other girl stood there staring at a wall of pens, some in packages of ten. ❝ Who the heck needs this many pens!? ❞ Ruby blurted out from behind the girl. At the same time as those words tumbled from her lips, the other girl took a step back and bumped into Ruby. ❝ Oh, sorry about that I was—... ❞ Before Ruby could finish apologizing the girl had jumped back and knocked over the wall of pens behind them.

    Silver eyes starred at the numerous packages of various pens that littered the ground. She shifted her eyes to look at the girl who began apologizing. ❝ No, no I’m just as at fault. Umm... Are you alright? ❞ The girl before her seemed to be pretty shy judging from the way she fidgeted around. Ruby was a little surprised when the girl asked her a question like that. ❝ Well, I probably wouldn’t be here otherwise. I recently enrolled so it’ll be my first year here... Um, do you? ❞
