         Often times she was forgetful but not this forgetful. Only carrying a single pen with her for the rest of three classes, Violet finally realizes ( and finds the courage ) to retrieve her pencil case at the end of the school day. But there was one problem: the classroom she left it in was none other than a multi-purpose room that also served detention.

         Standing outside the room, squeezing the fabric of her sweater, she’s hesitant. Was she scared? A bit. She’s never been to detention, but all the kids that were forced to go seemed a bit... intimidating. What if they steal her pencil case?! That thought alone coerces her step inside, if a bit nervously. Glancing around the classroom, she makes sure not to make eye contact with any of the students -- not even the one who is sitting in her assigned seat for her earlier class.

         “Have you seen a pencil case around here? I-It’s purple, soft, and has a black zipper...” @therubestyidol

While everything about this city was completely foreign to her, Weiss wasn’t the type to simply sit around and accept her circumstances. Not after she had done so for so much of her life, at least. So she familiarized herself with the technology of this world, somewhat baffled by the integration of magic, and then set out to find a library and continue to do research to prepare herself.

They said there was no way to consciously choose to leave the city, but she had unfinished business back in Remnant. Her team might not be waiting for her, precisely, but she still had every intention of returning to them. They were still a team, however fractured. It was almost strange to feel that way, after their rocky start, but she couldn’t imagine things being any other way.

This time though, she didn’t get far. She hadn’t even left the apartment building when she swore she saw a scrap of red turning the corner ahead of her, and then she broke into a run without a thought. And when she followed that bit of red around the turn, red filled her vision, a cape which had become more than familiar over time, which she would never admit how much she had missed recently.

“Ruby!” She hardly slowed, needing to catch up to the other girl, absolutely certain before she even saw her face that it was her.

Ruby was here. Ruby was here. She reached for her shoulder, turning her around, but she could find no other words, her mouth opening and closing without any sound coming out. She was truly speechless... for once.

"R--"

"Ruby!" it's with no hesitation whatsoever that Jaune darts after his friend, closing the distance between them as his arms wrap around her smaller frame in a relieved, near crushing embrace. There's trembling in his shoulders, in his hands as they eventually raise to her head; the shaking in his armour giving away his current state as he smooths the hair he'd messed up out of her face. Ah, that-- was kind of a lot, wasn't it? But Jaune couldn't help himself-- couldn't help the palpable happiness he felt as it bubbled from his chest in gentle, almost breathless laughter. "Are-- are you okay?! I-I'm-- I'm so sorry I couldn't get to you soon enough, but-- I'm so glad you made it here in one piece..! Where's Weiss? A-and the others? Have you found them yet?"

       for however good of a job his people think they have done at keeping HER from salem, they should have known that at some point, failure would find them. it always does. it’s easy to keep a secret in the beginning, but over time, that fades. soon one person knows, and then another, and then another. or something happens that causes it to leak and reach the wrong ears. and then everything spirals out of control and trying to reign it back in will only leave one grasping at sand hopelessly.  

   perhaps the huntress would have been far safer if she simply stayed inside this evening. her presence remaining unaware to the woman, leaving her...however long she had with what peace she found here until she learned the TRUTH. maybe she should have stayed with her useless friends. but no matter what she did, it was inevitable. 

         whether HERE or in remnant, salem would find her. it was only just a matter of time.

             “ I finally get to meet the infamous Ruby Rose.”

  delighted she sounds, but it is nothing but fake. relaxed is her posture, her entire being in the presence of such a troublesome girl. truly, she’s caused numerous problems for the woman and her plans, problems many thought she seeked retribution for. but, such was not the case. oh no, she had plans for the girl that-- for now -- will remain unknown.

Spiralfes was huge, and there still was so much to see. But there was no way that the girly side inside of Kaede, would let her skip that one fashion related event. There were many models or other beautiful people wearing some of the featured clothes, and while Kaede was clapping, she decided to voice her thoughts about all of this as well. 

“Wouldn’t it have been funny if they called this event ‘flashion’? You know, b ecause of flash and fashion... haha, sorry that was maybe a too simple pun, huh? But the dresses here are so pretty, don’t you think so too?” Starting small talk wasn’t anything new  to her, and she was sure that the girl would agree with her. In the pianists opinion, she was a really pretty girl after all, it wouldn’t surprise her if she would look even better in those presented clothes as well. 

“I wonder how expensive some of these are though, what do you think?” It would tempt her to try some on, especially when she thought of performing on the piano again in the close future.

For almost as long as he can remember, he always finds himself jumping at the chance to make new friends. No matter what the task is, whether it ends up being important or of little relevance, one way or another, it just seems to be implied that Sora will make a new friend. For the sake of his friends and in an attempt to cover up his insecurities, he almost always appears being and bright on the outside, and naturally, that radiance tends to draw people towards him. However, since he’s arrived in Eidolon, he hasn’t felt quite as sociable as he usually would. Maybe it’s the homesickness, maybe it’s the constant arctic temperatures; whatever the reason, today he feels like trying to rectify that problem, at least a little bit.

Before he sets out on this little journey of his try and hopefully meet some friendly people, he feels his stomach rumble a little bit. Not too far away from where he is, he spots a sign “Pheri’s Cornerstore”. Great! Maybe I’ll be able to find some snacks in there! Being cold and hungry? Definitely not the nicest of combinations. And without any hesitation, he runs up to the store front, swings the door wide open and walks inside.

Once inside, he’s almost dumbfounded at all the cool stuff inside. Even though it’s not the biggest store in the worlds, it’s still more vast than what he’s used to back on the islands. Walking around a little bit, he spots some candy and almost starts drooling on sight. Quite literally, he feels like a kid in a candy store.

“Let’s see now, what do I want...everything seems good. But wait...” as he pauses for a moment, he reaches into his pockets, forgetting entirely that he has no money at all. Right on queue, his stomach rumbles again, as he lets out a long sigh, louder than he means to .”Maaaan, and I’m so hungry too... I forgot all about money...”

Nyeh... Why’d you have to go and do that, @waningscarlet ?

      This girl’s fast! Himiko was just there at the right time to witness Ruby doing that amazing stunt. If she wasn’t a mage herself, she’d probably guess that the other was casting some sort of spell! It feels a bit... Different from the magic she’s used to, though.

      ( There at the right time? Eh, she was actually about to be attacked by a zombie before this speedster jumped in and grabbed her, but... )

      “I could’ve handled that, you know,” she says, still in the arms of the other. Himiko pouts. “My MP is... Lower than I thought, so I couldn’t do much.

      ... Nyeh... Thanks, I guess.”

♛ -  As far as Worick was concerned the streets of Hive City had been blessed with a beautiful man, himself. A cheap cigarette clung to the man’s lips, lips that were curved upward into a charming smile that he greeted each individual with. A neatly pressed suit clinging to his stature and accentuating each muscle on his arms and back. In his line of work, looking good was kind of important, without his looks, it was unlikely he’d be getting any customers.

Worick’s eyes scanned the ever growing crowd that over-populated the paths on each side of the road. Were people from around here also ripped from their homes like he had been or was this where they had grown up? He knew he wasn’t the only one who hadn’t been born here since he’d found out Nic and Alex were around but he was struggling to discern citizen from outcast. Perhaps he’d have to ask someone for help with that.

Temptation dawned across Worick when he saw someone with a camera, a smile spreading across his lips as he took it from the fellow’s hand telling him he was borrowing it for a moment. Grabbing the closest person to him, Worick turned and angled the camera at the both of them before posing, “Hey, you pose too!” Worick instructed before snapping the picture and observing it for a moment before he handed it back to its owner with a quick apology. 

“You’re pretty photogenic, what’s your name?”
