“what are you?" absentmindedly, it's voice echoes from within it's helmet. as it steps closer to inspect the metal automaton standing before it, the yellow light emitting from it's front porthole intensifies. "are you...? no. have humans finally figured out how to create intelligent life like me?" // mr. rosies ( @sunlit-sails ) to metal!

✧ unprompted asks // accepting ✧

The little android turned its head, the red lenses that functioned as its eyes flashing as its artificial brain assessed the individual. Scuba-diver? Unlikely on land.

"Unit designation: G.U.N. Metal. Artificial intelligent designed as sentient, autonomous combatant."

The creature had similarities to Dr. Redwood's creations, but lacked much of the signature tell-tales that marked a Badnik. And its system files of the G.U.N. projects resulted in nothing like this.

"Request: identify yourself."

"you think the itsy bitsy spider gave a fuck about the rain? NO. it climbed the spout again. lock in twin." // yang ( @sunlit-sails ) to ruby!

✧ Weird Prompts // accepting ✧

Ruby gave a withering pout and crossed her arms. She so badly wanted to be among the two that went on to the finals for the Vytal Festival. It was ultimately her decision as the leader of RWBY, but she couldn't get herself to not take her team's opinions into consideration...which landed her in this situation.

"I know, I know!" she grumbled. "I wanted it to be a vote...but can we do a recount or something?" A pointless endeavor when it was a clear vote for Weiss and Yang. Ruby had barely been considered. She had less experience than her older teammates and lost any sparring match the moment she got separated from Crescent Rose.

"i wasn't crying." // jaune ( @sunlit-sails ) to neo!

✧ Cannot Show Weakness // accepting ✧

Neo's expression wasn't its usual teasing smirk or playful smile. Even in the midnight darkness, she saw the poorly-disguised tears as Jaune swiped through his Scroll's history. She walked up and nudged his side with the toe of her shoe.

Like I was asking. Get up.

She didn't need his words to see that he was hurting in the same way she was. He was grieving, missing a part of himself that was taken away too soon.

If you don't, I'll kick you again.

"what are you going to do to me?" // jaune ( @sunlit-sails ) to neo!

✧ Enemies to Lovers // selectively accepting ✧

It wasn't supposed to go like this. She was going to follow them from a distance and reveal herself at Haven with the offer to help them along...let down their guard and accept her so Ruby might finally apologize for Roman's death. With Cinder dead as well, that seemed the best course of action. What wasn't supposed to happen was one of them catching her in the act beforehand. So now the much smaller Neo had the blonde pinned to a tree, the sharpened tip of Hush to his throat.

I won't do anything if you shut up.

But it wasn't like he could understand her. Only Roman seemed capable of translating Neo's expressions and body language. Asking this stranger to suddenly have those skills was probably too much. She slowly lowered the blade, hoping it'd make her intention clear.

Just act like you never saw me, and we'll be fine.

"it's the right thing to do." // from elm ( @sunlit-sails ) to oscar!

"Doing the right thing is always something I strive for, Elm." Oscar murmurs, giving the older woman a tired look. Oscar always looked tired, exhausted. It was from the weight put on him, honestly.
