Steadily making his way through Beacon's courtyard, Shift spots a familiar face by the school. Hoping to catch her attention, Shift picks up his pace until she's just within earshot. "Hey, Pyrrha. It's been a while," he smiled, slowly closing the distance to a few feet. As he stood there, awaiting a response, he had completely forgotten that most weren't familiar with his unarmored form.

With classes just concluding for the day, Pyrrha had been aiming to make it to the shop and back quickly before launching herself into the usual schedule of training, homework assignments and tutoring when a voice called to her across the courtyard. It was familiar, but she couldn’t quite place it.

“Hello?” She said by way of response. The courtyard was busy enough with a few people dotted around, but it became apparent the voices owner was the figure who stopped and looked at her expectantly. A figure she was certain she’d never seen before.

Stopping in her own tracks, she gave them a warm if confused smile. “I’m so sorry. Do I know you from somewhere?”

Even before hearing the question, seeing Pyrrha’s expression brought concern to his own. “That’s strange. I never thought I could be forgotten; especially, considering my…”. Looking towards his hand, and seeing just that, Shift quickly buried his face behind it before letting out a small sigh.

“I’m sorry, Pyrrha. We’ve never actually met face to face.” Pulling his hand away, and donning a mask of shadows, he continues, “I was hiding the last time.”

“Shift?” She recalled their last meeting. It certainly hadn’t presented her in the best light. “How are you?”

Without sparing it a thought, Shift moved into her question. “I’ve been…busy, to be honest.” As the shadows start to fade, he maintains a steady gaze. “I thought it was safe to be here, but it turns out I need more training. Since the issue’s settled for now though, I’ve been spending my days in Beacon’s library. It’s been a great change of pace.”

Pausing in pleasant memory of his studies, a small smile breaks, as does his gaze before quickly focusing back on Pyrrha. “Sorry about that. The late nights must be getting to me. How have things been with you?”

I have a rules page and a stub of a muse page that I plan on adding more info to in the near future. But if you’re interested in RPing with a RWBY-verse quartet of Touhou characters, please reblog this! (Likes are appreciated, but won’t help spread this around.)

If you’re a roleplaying blog and don’t mind roleplaying with a RWBY OC, could you reblog this?

Having spent more time than expected, Shift burst out of Juniors and began speeding down the street. The barkeep was good for a drink, but a bit stiff with information. As he tried to forget an irritating impasse, part of him thought back to when someone had broken through. A blond berserker, who lit up that nightclub with incredible energy. Hoping to see her again, Shift continued to frequent the joint, but to no avail. So, when he saw her standing right on the street corner, he froze in place.

Standing on the corner of the street Yang, looked up at the bright street lamp above her. It’s light flickering…it was giving her a headache.

Pushing past the initial shock, Shift found himself walking towards her.

Only a month ago, such a thing would’ve made him quite nervous, but whether it was his own volition, or the drink he’d just had, he decided to go for it.

Seeing her stare at the light, he simply asks, “Is everything alright, miss? You seem a bit…troubled.”

ATTENTION

We got NEWBIES TO TUMBLR

@strongblonddragon

GIVE THEM A WARM WELCOME

Wandering through the halls of Beacon, Shift spots the man he'd been looking for. Tall and green-haired with a palpable energy in every move. Not wishing to waste the chance, Shift quickly makes his way over. "Excuse me, sir. Are you Dr. Oobleck?"

Yes that is I, Who might you be and do you need any assistance at all?

“My name is Shift. I’m new to this part of Vale, and, admittedly, much of your history. Given your expertise, I was hoping you could point me in the right direction.”

Oh absolutely I can point you in the direction you need are you looking for like Townhall? hospital? The forests?

“Mmm. More of a library…and what texts I should start with.”

Oh yes Library is in that direction Big white building should be easy to see…

*points to his left*

… and to know more about the land Vale history volume 1 to 3 usually does help, but also check out the 50 facts about Vale for something a little quicker and probably a bit more help for current times.

Turning towards where Oobleck had pointed, Shift let his gaze linger on where he’d be headed. But as the doctor continued, he promptly snapped his neck back, listening intently to the recommendations being made.

After mulling the titles over to himself, he looked the doctor in the eyes, “Thank you. I’m sure they’ll prove useful.” Letting only a moment slip by, he continued, “Perhaps I can return the favor someday.”

Actually come to think of it I will walk you to the library it’s no problem at all, it’s on my way anyway

*he starts to walk towards the library*

Follow this way and don’t worry about repaying me in the future I’m always here to help anyone.

Moving closely behind, and trying to maintain his composure while keeping up, Shift starts to smile.

“Hehe. I’ll take you up on the escort, Doctor, but have to insist on repaying you somehow. Though, if you’re truly against the idea, let’s say I’m available to help you, should the need arise.”

“What I lack in recent knowledge, I make up for in ancient ones. Be it dust or the Grimm, there’s much I can offer.”

*he chuckles*

Oh trust me ancient knowledge is my forte is well being a history teacher but do not worry if something does come up in the future that you may be able to help with I will definitely keep you in mind.

*sips his coffee*

Silently berating himself for the pitch, Shift let out a nervous laugh. He’d heard history was Oobleck’s specialty, but hadn’t considered how broad his scope might be. Hoping to rectify the situation, at least in his mind, Shift decided on a fast follow-up, letting his laughter fade and speeding up to Oobleck’s side.

“I’m…looking forward to the chance. It’s not everyday I meet someone who’s quite so drawn to knowledge. Even if my information isn’t groundbreaking, I should have some insights to share.”

Well when you put it like that I look forward to that day as well, even a good friend the conversation over things should be a good time.

*sips coffee as they both slowly walk up to the library and Oobleck pauses*

Well then it looks like we’ve reached our destination, I do hope the information I gave it everything was of some help to you.

With the library before him, and a potential friend at his side, Shift gathered himself to give a proper farewell.

Turning away from the doors, he addresses Oobleck, “It certainly has helped - even given me something to think about. On top of that, you’ve brought me to a place I can keep moving forward, and that’s something special…”

Extending his hand to Oobleck, he continues, “Thank you for everything, Doctor. I look forward to talking with you more. It’s…been a nice change of pace.”

*Oobleck smiles and takes shifts hand shakes it*

Well glad I could be of some help I thank you for the good conversation as well I look forward to the future, remember always keep learning, always learn from history. You have yourself a wonderful time here at Vale until next time. Ta-Ta for now.

*he let’s go of shifts hand and turns to walk away*

Maintaining his smile until Oobleck was out of sight, Shift turned to enter the library, releasing a small sigh as he opened the door.

“So that’s Doctor Oobleck...,” he mused. “If his knowledge is half as great as his passion, then I’ve got a lot of reading ahead of me.”

Shutting the door behind him, Shift passes into the room, slowly taking in the treasure it held. A collection of texts beyond anything he’d ever seen, all waiting to share their secrets.

With a subtle shine in his eyes, he began scanning the shelves, quietly muttering to himself, “It’s about time I caught up.”
