Backside of the TV || ruby & leo
Persona AU with @garururur
It all started when her TV suddenly turned on by itself one fateful night. She was in the middle of doing late night studying when it happened. At first she thought that she might’ve stepped on the remote again, but the controller was no where near her.
She checked if it’s the TV itself that’s broken, the young girl was certainly not expecting to discover some portal when her hand went right through the screen. A normal person would have freaked out at such a discovery but Ruby found it intriguing. Feeling adventurous, she decided to stick her head in. Inside she found an obscure place. It was like another realm. It looked to be a studio but it was foggy, there was also body prints all over the floor. IS this even indoors or outdoors?
Since then, the silver-eyed girl would study about this mysterious world every night. She even went as far as to jump right in and explore the world on the other side. It was really huge in there she could get lost if she’s not careful.
She also found out that there were hostile creatures wandering around there, she learned that the hard way.
Ruby was just mindlessly walking around this mysterious world as always when those monsters surrounded her. They even possessed magical powers. Even a girl who’s adept in martial arts like her is no match against them.
Just when she thought she was about to die,she heard a voice. An unfamiliar yet soothing voice...
Thou art I, and I am thou...
After that, she finds herself wearing a...blindfold? A see thru blindfold. The hell?! The girl tries to take it off, but for some reason she couldn’t, its like its was glued to her face. But her gut seems to tell her that she needed to get this thing off like her life depended on it. The more she pulled, the more pain she felt, she can even feel blood oozing already.
The moment she finally ripped it off of her skin, she blew a gust of power, that blasted the monsters at bay. Her school uniform transformed into a different set of clothes, and above her a charming blonde girl hovers. She looked kinda familiar though, almost like a fairy tale character.
Fairy tale...
“Alice...”She uttered. For some reason Ruby knows that it’s the name of the mystical girl...and she is here to help her.
Alice easy took out wave after wave of those monsters with her blasts of magic, and Ruby herself was able to pick up a good fight too. Some her movements were faster, her punches were stronger, and her body was more enduring to pain.
Once that whole fiasco was done and over with. The silver eyed girl faints from exhaustion the moment she returned to the real world.
The next day, she woke up back in her school uniform, and she became too scared to get back on the TV world since, but it turns out she can’t bring herself to stay away from it for too long. Especially when the TV turned on like usual. But instead of showing nothing but static like how it was supposed to be on the screen, it actually showed an image for once!
It was a person. The image was still a bit blurry, but Ruby was able to tell that the figure was male. Average height. Fair complexion. Orange hair. This was definitely something new...Could some else have been wandering in there besides her? In that case they need to be warned! What if he gets killed by those monsters?! She has to do something!
Not gonna lie, but having to face those monsters again, made her swallow down a lump on her throat. Maybe that blonde girl will appear again when she needed her? She really hopes so...
Ruby made sure to bring along some weapons just in case. Thankfully she’s the daughter of a policeman, with the trust of her father, she was given the permission to possess a BB rifle gun. She also brought along the old mowing scythe in their gardening shed, and some first aid materials....Hey, it never hurts to be prepared.
Taking a deep breath. She enters back into the TV world.
