The Ruby Ritual

I’m not gonna be able to do it any time soon because of university, but if I ever revived this would anyone still be interested?

[therubyritual]

Is this blog dead?

Probably safe to say at this point. Sorry guys. It was fun.

[therubyritual]

Are you ok?

I am still alive if that’s what you’re worried about.

...I have however been running into a goddamn brick wall when it comes to writing anything whatsoever.

You should always aim to top yourself. No, not in the selcest sense. How did you even- no, put that clone back where you found them or so help me.

Today we’re presenting the squishiest, cutest, voted most likely to break your legs Nora Valkyrie. Drawn by tumblr user Xuunies!

This warrior is something of a mystery. But the moment she meets Ruby, she makes it her mission to stay with the young Queen no matter what. Nora immediately takes a shine to her, and declares that they have a special connection. Whether or not that’s true remains to be seen.

Outfit aside this is pretty much my exact headcanon for Nora

0179: As the Great Australia Turtle shows us, patience is a virtue - you should wait until you're in less trouble to sneak into Ozpin's office. Still, that doesn't mean you can't plan ahead! Start making plans and checking out the security if you can; if you're going to be sneaking into the headmaster's office you're going to want to have a plan, both to get in and to leave quickly. -L

While your probation makes actually stealing anything from Ozpin’s office foolish at best, there’s no harm in a bit of recon.

Getting into the office is as easy as getting on the elevator, as anyone is free to visit the headmaster. Getting out with whatever your other self wants without being discovered will be the hard part.

“Ruby are you sure this is a good idea?” Asked Yang mentally.

“Relax sis, all I’m doing is recon. If Ozpin is there then I’ll just tell him that I want to know how the hunt for dad is going.” “Well yeah there’s that, but I mean the part about doing what Anti-Ruby wants you to do. She was going to try and kill you back during the dream remember.” “...Well at the very least we can figure out exactly what she wants.”

The elevator arrives at Ozpin’s office, and the doors slide open. Ozpin isn’t in the room, which makes things a bit easier.

As you glance around the room you realise that there no security cameras. After all, why would there be? The only things that are actually in the room are a desk and a chair shaped like… Well… You don’t really want to say what it looks like. All in all it’s less of an office and more of an audience chamber.

“What the hell…” You mutter to yourself. “She said she wanted me to steal something, but there’s nothing here to steal.”

“I bet there’s a secret room,” says Yang. “If anyone in the world has a secret room in their office, Ozpin does.”

“Good point. Alright let’s spread out and see what we can find.”

As you are checking out the gears on one side of the room (which your mechanical expertise quickly informs you have no actual function, which means that Ozpin probably only had them installed to look cool) Blake calls out from the other side. You walk over to find that she had slipped under one of the floor tiles, and with her help you pry it up to reveal a thick metal door embedded in the ground.

“This is it!” You declare excitedly. “Only it looks like we’ll need a key.”

“Ozpin probably keeps it on him,” responds Blake. “But if we steal it he will immediately know that something is wrong.”

“We don’t need to steal it,” says Weiss. “If I can just get a good look at it, I can make a copy out of ice.”

With the plan set, you replace the floor tile and leave, being careful to leave no evidence that you had searched the room. Until you figure out a way to get Ozpin to take out the key so you can get a good look at it, you will not be able to steal whatever it is that the other Ruby wants.

0178: Are you sure there’s nothing else you’d like to tell us, Pyrrha?

“…Is there something you’re not telling us Pyrrha?” You ask.

She jumps slightly, startled by your question.

“Wha… What do you mean?”

“You’ve been scratching your arm for ages, and it’s drawn blood. Did something happen to it in the dream?”

She looks down at her arm in surprise. “I… I didn’t realise that I was doing that…”

You place your hand on Pyrrha’s gently. “Pyrrha… I really don’t want to force you to come out with something you don’t want to talk about, but with something like this I really think that bottling it up is just going to make it worse for you in the long run. Whatever you saw, just know that we’re all here for you one hundred percent.”

Pyrrha glances at Nora and Ren, who give her a reassuring nod. “You’re right. And it’s also not fair on the rest of you if I keep it to myself. It’s just that…. It was so strange. Everything that you all experienced seemed to come from somewhere, like a memory or some sort of hangup. But with this… I don’t understand where it came from.”

“…Everything I told you about the village being under attack was the truth. At first it all seemed about as normal as an attack from a horde of slavering monstrosities can be. Then one managed to get over the walls and injured someone. That person… They turned into some kind of half-human half-Grimm mutant, and started attacking anyone in sight. Before long, every single person in the town was like that; I had never seen or heard of anything like that happening before.”

She grips her wrist tightly with her other hand. “One caught me by surprise and cut me. The next thing I knew my arm started changing like the others. I was desperate… So I cut it off.”

“YOWCH!” Nora exclaims in horror.

Pyrrha nods. “I did it quickly, but it hurt. The dream ended right after that happened, but… I can still feel it. I can still feel the infection under the skin of my arm, wriggling. It’s probably all in my head, but that’s why I didn’t want to talk about it.”

“That’s… rough.” You say.

Wow nice going brain, our friend is in distress and all you can think to say is ‘That’s rough.’ Good job!

“Eh I wouldn’t worry about it too much,” says Nora. “The only person in this room that’s turning into a monster is me.”

Ren tries to protest. “Nora you’re not…”

“Yeah I kind of am.” With that Nora gets up abruptly. “Um… Thanks for all of this but I need some time alone. I’ll be back for the meeting with Miss Goodwitch.” With that, she darts out of the room before you can voice any kind of protest.

With Nora gone, the others soon follow suit. You were kind of hoping that things would go better than this, but at the same time you feel glad that your friends are not keeping anything bottled up inside.

The next morning you all head over to Miss Goodwitch’s office early. Qrow is already there, so you wait outside until they finish.

It’s hard to hear any of the conversation coming from inside. At one point Qrow attempts to raise his voice, but is quickly cut off. Soon after, he emerges from the room. Upon shutting the door behind him, he takes a flask out from his pocket, uncaps it, and gulps the contents of the whole thing down in one go.

“Here’s a little bit of advice,” he says as he wipes his mouth off. “NEVER piss off Glynda Goodwitch after you graduate, because at that point she doesn’t have to filter her threats anymore.” He shakes his head. “I already filled her in on everything you told me about that demon, the nameless guy in the cell, and that Emerald girl, so unless there is anything else that you left out then don’t worry about giving any kind of report.”

You nod. You didn’t mention to him anything that might incriminate you or your friends, but otherwise you filled your uncle in on everything that occurred the previous day.

“Good.” He says with a small smile. “Good luck with your first major roasting from Goodwitch.”

With that, the four of you head inside. Immediately upon entering the room, you can feel the cold fury radiating off Miss Goodwitch. You line up in front of her desk, and only then does she speak.

“This is now the fourth major incident that this team has been involved in since the start of the term, fifth if I was to count the circumstances through which I first met you Miss Rose. Now I understand that most of those occurrences were completely out of your control, and each time you acted admirably when thrust into such a dangerous situation. However this time you consciously chose to put yourselves in harms way, and I will not tolerate that.”

“But Miss Goodwitch…” You start to say, intending to point out the fact that without your intervention Qrow might have still been trapped.

“But nothing! You are trainees! Children! That uncle of yours was an utter fool to bring you to a location where he knew that an enemy strong enough to subdue someone as strong as your father may have been waiting, and while that was his mistake not yours, you still chose to go marching in after him without calling for backup. I understand that you are concerned about your father’s disappearance, but that does not excuse such recklessness.”

She turns to your teammates.

“And you three are certainly not innocent in this matter either. As Miss Rose’s teammates your job is to keep her in check when her emotions may be clouding her judgement, not blindly follow her into danger.”

Miss Goodwitch sighs and shakes her head.

“All four of you will be receiving a three hour detention every day for the next two weeks. Furthermore, starting immediately you will all be on probation, which will only be lifted when I see fit. Should another incident occur that can be compared to this one in any way, or if you attempt to involve yourself in the search for your father once again, you will be expelled immediately. I trust that you understand what that would mean?”

You all nod. Expulsion would revoke your weapons licence, and forever bar you from becoming a huntress.

Miss Goodwitch’s expression softens somewhat.

“Please understand that I do not want to be so harsh after you have been put through such a traumatic ordeal, but I would rather have you alive as civilians, than dead as hunters. This is your final chance to prove that I need not fear that second eventuality. Dismissed.”

[blackkatmagic]

I HAVE NEVER RELATED TO A POST MORE.

[therubyritual]

AN: I’ve started writing 0178, which is gonna take a while since its going to be quite long, but there is still time to send in prompts, as they will only affect the first part of this particular update (I’m going to write the second, longer, part first).

[therubyritual]

0177

0177: No one wants to go first? Then we will. Get Weiss, Blake and Yang to come out as well, and we’ll begin the talking, even if it seems uncomfortable to do so. Once we’re done, floor’s open, but no one leaves the room until everything’s been talked about. And you mean NO ONE LEAVES until EVERYTHING is said.

0177: Maybe you can go first? Help ease things in. If Weiss, Blake, and Yang want to share, that might also help.

…To tell the truth, you don’t particularly want to go first either. But you’re the leader, so you should probably lead.

“I saw my mom.” You tell them. “She was so… real. I wanted to go to her so badly. But… My mom is dead, so it couldn’t have been her. The dream had me in some kind of trance or something, so it was hard to snap out of it, but I managed somehow. It’s all a bit hazy though…”

“Geez… That sounds rough.” Says Ren sympathetically. “I was lucky enough to not see my parents in mine.”

“What happened?” You ask.

“…When Nora and I were young, our village was attacked by demons. It was basically a repeat experience of that.” “That sounds horrible.” Says Pyrrha.

“It was, but I’ve had enough nightmares about that day that I was able to figure out it was all fake fairly quickly. After that I went to find Nora, and… Nora do you want to tell them about this bit?”

Nora hesitates for a moment, but then nods. “I was in Beacon, only everything was made of storm clouds. I walked around, trying to find someone else, but I didn’t find anything until I went to the cliff where we fought The Spark…” Oh boy you think you see where this is going.

“I saw… me. Only it was like you took a hurricane, zapped it with ten bajillion volts, and then stuffed it all a mould that looked like me. She said some stuff about needing to beat me so that she would be ‘the number one Valkyrie,’ and then she attacked me. I almost feel sorry for all the Grimm I’ve smashed if that was the expression I had when I squished them… Almost.”

“What happened next?” You ask.

She scowls. “I lost. I think I might have been able to do it if I hadn’t been so freaked out. If Ren hadn’t shown up when he did I would have been a goner. Together we were able to hold her… me… whatever the heck she was, off until you ended the dream.”

“Ok so I wasn’t the only one who tried to kill myself in the dream.” Weiss mutters inside your head. “That’s somewhat comforting.” “Oh yeah! Weiss, Blake, Yang: you guys should also tell the others about what happened to you.” You exclaim.

“I… guess that sounds like a good idea.” Blake says hesitantly. “I’ll go first, get it over with.” Everyone in the room listens in horror as Blake recounts the experimentation and imprisonment she went through before her transformation. You don’t feel as queasy, on account of having heard it all before, but nevertheless the fury that you feel towards Blake’s captors has not diminished.

As Yang begins her turn, you listen up, as you still don’t know the full details of what happened to her.

“Everything played out exactly the same as the day of the forest fire. I was out on my morning jog through the woods, when I heard some weird chanting. I went over to check it out, and stumbled on a bunch of cultists doing a ritual. Most of them were wearing the usual cultist robes, but there was one guy off to the side who was wearing a suit, and was just watching. I didn’t get a good look at his face. In the middle of the ritual circle there was some kind of bowl…” “Wait what?” You exclaim. “A bowl? That sounds like what happened with me!” “Bowl-like ritual vessels are not uncommon.” Comments Weiss. “It’s possible that it might just be a coincidence.”

“It’s just as possible that it isn’t.” Responds Ren. “Let’s not just ignore the connection here.” “Well in any case,” continues Yang, “it went about as well for these guys as it did for those dumbasses who kidnapped Ruby way back then. They finished their chant, the runes on the bowl started glowing, and then BOOM! The bowl blew up, and the cultists got mulched by the explosion. Mr suit might have survived though, he was pretty far back, but I was too preoccupied with the giant flaming arm that was worming its way through the tear in reality that the explosion made to be paying attention to him.”

“That sounds freaking awesome…” Nora murmurs.

“It would have been if it hadn’t literally knocked me through a tree. I passed out, and next thing I knew I was with Weiss.”

“Your demon half dragged you to safety.” Says Weiss. “We talked for a while, she said that once everything was over I should ask you about…. Well I think I should probably save that until we’re done digesting our current series of traumas. In any case, I think it’s my turn…”

After Weiss finished telling everyone about her daddy issues and attempted murder/suicide, there was only one person who had not talked about their experience in the dream.

“Alright Pyrrha, you’re up.” You say.

“Alright…” She says, and takes a deep breath. “My experience was similar to Ren’s. I was in a village that was under attack by demons, mainly Grimm. I was the only person there who could fight. I tried my best to stop them, but as soon as they started coming over the walls it was all over. If the dream hadn’t ended when it did I might have been killed. I’m not really sure where my part of the dream came from, since I’ve never been in a village like that before. Maybe it’s because I haven’t gone through anything in my past like the rest of you all did.”

You notice that Pyrrha’s arm scratching has drawn blood.

Is it time to wrap things up? (If yes, then timeskip to your meeting with Miss Goodwitch)
