Matter of Unimportance

[black-rose-autumn]

“Oooh.” she looked at their weapon, seemingly disappearing and reappearing around them and looking at it. “That’s an awesome weapon! I can definitely say that I wouldn’t wanna be hit by that.” she laughed a bit. “But seriously though, great weapon!” Autumn beamed before they neared the cafeteria.

Autumn held the door. “After you.” she smiled politely and then followed inside, looking around at the cafeteria. “Hmm… Ooh it’s Pizza day!” she grinned. “I’ll meet you after I’ve gotten my food!” she seemingly vanished again, leaving behind a blur of black rose petals.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - The Bear was patient with Autumn’s observation of their weapon. Not that it was a ‘good’ weapon, but the young girl was right. This was not a weapon that people wanted to be hit with. The heavy shot guns might be old, but they weighed up next to any newer weapon who fired the same heavy slugs that they did.

   That wasn’t even going into the hidden blades that was Alkaid’s main purpose. They watched as Autumn left, reaching up with a paw to scratch the back of their head almost awkwardly. It was always a little strange, eating with the students. Not that they were official staff either. Just... brought along aboard whenever they were needed. Oh well. Food was food. And so they went to get some.

[black-rose-autumn]

“Okay!” she smiled as she walked ahead of her new friend. Really her classification as a friend was anyone that was willing to talk with her and NOT stab her in the back like a certain person she remembers did. 

As Autumn walked ahead of Alioth she began pondering things to ask him. Hmm… I think it might be a bit prying if I ask them why they want to be a huntsman… Ooh! I know what to ask them! “So, Alioth…” she began as she walked at a bit of a faster pace. “What’s your weapon? I actually kind of have twp. A main weapon and a side arm. I wield a scythe that turns into a shotgun and a revolver that turns into a rapier” she took out her revolver and spun it around her hand once before putting it away.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - The Bear didn’t reply to the question verbally. Instead, they continued ambling after Autumn as the clanked one forearm with the other. The sound of metal muffled by leather and cloth as they did so. It wasn’t that odd to overlook their weapon. It was just... there after all. The same dusty pelt brown as the fur coat that they kept on, hiding in plain sight.

   It was a pair of sturdy shotguns, if not outdated by at least two generations, possibly three. Though that wasn’t the only thing it was. Alioth simply just wasn’t in the mood, nor location, to share what the bracers actually did do most of the time. There were just some places where baring one’s teeth was not a good idea, even for inspection.

[black-rose-autumn]

"Alioth huh? That’s a nice name." Autumn smiled to them. "So you wanna be a huntsman too… What team are you on? I’m on team RATH. I’m the leader of my team." She explained.

Autumn pouted a bit when she heard her stomach grumble. “Wanna go eat lunch with me?” she asked them, looking towards the general direction of the cafeteria. “My teammates all ate already.” she let out a bit of a sigh as she decided to hold the door open for a few people passing by.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - That question caused the Bear to pause. Their shoulders slumping slightly before they straightened up again. They shrugged though, at the next question, glancing once at the cafeteria. It’s been a while since they’ve been there, so they wondered...

   “Sure,” they grunted out to the later question, choosing to skip the former. It was... complicated, to say the least.

[ursidaeskin]

[black-rose-autumn]

“Excuse me!” Autumn jumped up to the taller person’s height. “Can you please move over a bit so that I may see?” she asked them as politely as she could. 

“Th-Thank you.” Autumn smiled to them as they moved out of the way for her so she could see this interesting lecture about mission types. She listened intently as professor Goodwitch spoke. The mission types that she had particular interest in were the search and destroy ones. She was kind of the type that liked to deal with a threat before it became an actual threat.

As soon as the lecture had ended Autumn tugged on the taller person’s arm. “Hey. Thank you for moving out of the way.” she smiled. “S-Sorry if my height is kind of an issue.” she scratched the back of her head.

She held out her hand. “My name is Autumn, Autumn Rose-Schnee.” she smiled to them. “I don’t think I’ve met you before. Well regardless, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - One could not decide on their own bodies. Or how much they grew as they aged. It wasn’t as if this Autumn’s height was the only cause for the problem.

   The bear slumped slightly, a low rumbled beneath their throat as they placed their own large hand in the one offered to them. A Rose, a Schnee. The names sounded familiar, though not one that they knew personally. Huntsmen and Huntresses often made themselves a name out there in their fields however. So Alioth merely let it slide out of their mind.

   “Alioth,” they responded in that low tone. Then with a pause, added more. “Alioth Arktos. Not... usually here. Just for now.”    The truth and nothing but the truth.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - It was not the first time the Bear’s size was the start of a ‘conversation’. In which was somebody asking them to move.

   Not that they were the largest member of Beacon by any stretch of the means. There were, without doubt, others who were probably taller than themselves. Yet, they towered over most of the others and for all that awkwardness of trying to stay out of the way, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

   In this case though, it might not just have been their own mass either. The student in question was… on the verge of small. The sort of small that compounded the problem of Alioth’s own size and made everything just that much worse.

   Their paw of a hand reaching up to the back of their collar to tug at cloth before they mummbled a noise in response to the child and ducked out of the way as requested. Well, at least she had been polite about it.

[real-normal-girls]

A sigh from her.  ”You’re right.  I can’t expect to know how to fight with her after a few days.”  It had taken her years to get to where she was.  It would take her the same adjustment period to get used to Ruby.

She offered them a smile.  ”Thank you for listening.  You didn’t have to.”  She knew plenty of people that would have just left instead of listening to the princess complain.

She watched as they stood.  ”If you need anything else I’ll be around.” She called as she stood herself.  She needed to get some training in herself.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - The bear stood there for a moment at the disposal unit. An eye following Weiss for that minute as they grumbled wordlessly beneath their breath. Just a sound, like that of one pondering upon something before it quieted down once more.

   They might be rude, to an extent. Still, they were not a complete brute.    “Thanks.” The word was tossed out into the air across the distance before the large figure seemed to hunch into their thick coat. That gaze moving over to the exit.

   Then clumsily, they gave a rather informal salute before turning around to lumber off. They might have stayed on the campus, but Alioth stayed in a very distinctly different part of Beacon than the students. Time will tell if they actually do meet again.

That One Ship

[buldrokkastee]

"She always is, but a little bird has informed me that she might just be in loading bay three at this very moment." He waved a hand in what could be interpreted as a mysterious gesture. Nothing went on in this ship that he wasn’t aware of, uncertain as it was just where he got said information. 

It wasn’t a long trek through the underbelly of the ship, but neither was it a particularly short one. The necessity of avoiding witnesses or places Glynda might think to look along the way made it necessary to avoid most of the more direct routes.

"So what’s been occupying your time recently then?" Ozpin asked, glancing over with a raised eyebrow and his most endearing smile. "Any tales of adventure and swashbuckling espionage to tell?"

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - The loading bays. If it weren't for the build of it and certain other factors, the Bear might have mistaken it for home. A home once upon a time, that was. They had a different one now, in these decks and in corners of rooms.

   There was no question of the routes they took, merely an ambling bulk of the employee following after Ozpin like an oversized shadow. Yet when spoken to, there was a grunt like noise. An almost thoughtful one as they fixed their gaze somewhere into the distance while they kept walking.

   "Watching them. Mostly. One of the new crew tried to throw me out though." A pause here, the low rumble almost amused, "The ship is... tense, even without trouble, but things have been running about as smoothly as a ship can run."

[real-normal-girls]

A shake of the head from the heiress.  ”She doesn’t do either of those things.” A pause.  ”Well maybe a bit of both.  She did take care of them skillfully, but it was rushed.”  A vague memory of their team pairing exercise where Weiss ended up setting the forest on fire because of Ruby.

"She inadvertently got in my way which lead to a forest fire.  Which sounds like it could be the second one.  So I think she’s a mix of both.  She’s not overly aggressive enough to bash things, and she can sometimes be tactical."

A shrug from her.  ”I’ll just have to learn to adapt to her way of fighting.  I’ll have to adapt to all of their styles.”  Going from fighting with one to four was always an adjustment period, and Weiss knew she needed to do that.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - There was that pause, the Bear's gaze kept forwards. It was with a tap of their fingers against the surface of the table that they spoke again. Slowly, as if picking out the right words.

   "It could just be inexperience. Knowing one's weapon isn't the same as knowing a battle. Remember, she needs to work with you as much as you need to work with them."    They seemed to hunch even further into their seat. Staying there for a while before straightening up again. Without so much as a warning, the scrape of their chair sounding as they stood, tray in hand and started heading towards the disposal unit to drop it off.

   Beneath their breath, they were mumbling. Something about practice and work.

[many-masked]

The appearance of the Bear surprised Topaz when she caught sight of him. She made the mental note to question the Headmaster next time she got the chance on his choice of employees, returning her focus to the task at hand. 

Adjusting her hold on Tigerwulf, she made a quick slash feeling annoyed when it proved far too shallow for the task at hand. The monstrous bird flailed and kicked, flapping it’s good wing and rearing, fighting the one that held it down.

Backing away the student blocked a glancing blow of the big black beak, retreating a safe distance. It would take more than her weapon to cut deep enough to deal with the Grimm and it had plenty fight left in it.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - There was only so much a single person could do to a Nevermore many times their own size. Even if said person was an actual beast just as much as the Grimm was. Still, by the time that Alioth was forced backwards though, at least the large bird like creature wasn't going to have an easy time taking off in the air once more. Not with feathers torn off and scrapes upon one wing.

   Still, the Bear seemed tired now, the metal of blades scraping against dirt and rocks as they leapt backwards barely in time to avoid a blow. They weren't actively bleeding, but from red and streaks, they've already bled.

   One didn't study or work at Beacon by being weak. Not when the school laid upon the outside boundaries of Vale's natural protections against the Grimm. There was a limit to how much the Bear could push though, and as Alioth growled at the Nevermore, it was clear that they were nearly hitting it.

   Perhaps the could actually outrun the Grimm, now that it was mostly grounded. It's large bulk would make it difficult for the Nevermore to chase them through the trees. Still, the Bear was in no state to make decisions now as they glanced over at Topaz for instructions.

[real-normal-girls]

Weiss’s eyes widened.  Her first thought when they’d suggested getting to know how Ruby thinks was that would have been impossible.  Ruby didn’t have the same training as Weiss, so that put her at a disadvantaged.

A nod of her head at the next statement.  As she listened she began to understand Ruby a little more.  That seemed to be generally how she handled things.  Ruby had been the one to get the final hit on the Nevermore after all.

"That is very sound advice.  It almost makes me think you’ve dealt with a partner like that."  A tilt of her head.  She wasn’t prying in the least.  She was raised better then that.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - It was a growl like grunt that came from the Bear. their attention drifting over to the wall behind Weiss as if it held some great secret. A blank surface for them to mentally draw their thoughts upon.

   The very definition of someone who was reckless was that they took risks. Jumping ahead into things without much thinking of the consequences. It was the choices they made, and it reflects in their fighting. The same way previous training shows in the way a person moves. An aggressive fighter, well, they tend to fall into the 'hit it till it stops moving' category of things.

   They slouched slightly, weight upon that elbow on the table. "Watched. I suppose. He was less reckless as much as he was simply stupid aggressive."    He had been anyways, till he got half his face smeared.    "There's tactical aggression, and then there's just rushing in and bashing things. Unfortunately, the reckless tend to fall into the second sometimes."

[many-masked]

Ripping out her sword, Topaz let herself slide between the shoulders of the monstrous Grimm, snatching a fistful of black feathers. Pulling herself into a crouched position, the teen readied her blade hacking at the junction of the back and wing.

Reaching into her leg harness, the student threw a capsule of Dust into the wound, breaking it into an icy explosion with the tip of her sword. The monster screamed in pain and no doubt anger as ice ripped through it’s wing and body, jerking to the side and falling to the ground.

Seeing the opportunity for a more comfortable landing, Topaz hopped off the crashing Grimm, rolling across the ground. Standing, she looked around for Alioth, watching as the Nevermore staggered back up.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - That the black shape came crashing to the ground as clear. The next obvious fact was that the Bear... Well they weren't all quite there. Blood, the Grimm never bled though, streaked down an arm, stained light sleeves of their under shirt. Their breaths more like growls as they ambled over.

   They didn't quite ignore Topaz as much as they simply glanced over and decided that there was a bigger threat to be handled first. Sharp blades sinking into feathers and flesh without much regards as they pinned the oversized Nevermore to the ground.

   When they spoke it was in a low growl. more so than usual, more beast than human.    "Throat." The word thrown there, as if an order.

[real-normal-girls]

"Yes well I already almost killed her once, and I don’t want a repeat of that again."  Ruby may bother Weiss but it would look bad if the leader of their team was killed by her partner.

A sigh fell from her lips as she finished eating.  ”It’s difficult to read cues if she appears out of no where and at a drop of a hat.”  That’s what Ruby did.  And that’s what frustrated Weiss to no extreme.  Ruby didn’t understand how dangerous combat could really be.

She rested her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hands as she took in the person across from her.  ”Have any advice for that?”

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - It was hard to imagine anybody just 'appearing out of no where', though the Bear understood the concept. Hard to track, was perhaps the phrase that the Bear preferred to use. It just fit an image into mind better.

   Those broad shoulders moved in a sort of resigned shrug. The low tones of their voice reverberating through their chest. "Only to get to know the way she thinks." Time together, time to get to know the other.    Still, those amber green eyes studied Weiss for a moment before the Bear sighed, lifting a hand to cover their face such that their elbow rested against the table.

   "I'm guessing your partner isn't the patient or planning type." Else you wouldn't be having so much trouble with this.    "Generally," they started in a slow even tone,  "The aggressive or reckless like to hit hard. They also like to hit first, whenever they see the chance to. They like to hit whenever they can, regardless if it's because they see an opening or because they're just trying to hit the opponent as many times as they can to try to make an opening."

   Alioth sounded a little too well versed in such matters, a tired tone seeping into their words. "I don't know your partner. I don't know how they fight, so my only suggestions to you are two things. Get to know them, for their very thoughts are an indication of such, and to wait for them to strike first so they don't end up getting in the way mid fire because they can't or don't want to wait."

[real-normal-girls]

Weiss had grabbed a tray with food as well.  She hadn’t skipped a meal, but at this point she was hungry.  Especially since she’d walk the entirety of campus looking for Ruby, and then helped someone else.  So she could use a quick pick me up.

She took careful bites of her food as she sat across from them.  She was just glad that Nora wasn’t here because Nora had started that food fight, by throwing a pie at Weiss.  Weiss hadn’t appreciated that in the least.

She was surprised at the words.  ”Well the training was to make sure that she doesn’t attack out of turn and I hurt her.  She just enjoys attacking out of turn.”

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - Their fork stabbed into the remaining food, the Bear stirring up the pile before they devoured it as well. Finishing off their plate before they spoke again, that fork flicked through the air before they drove it into the table without much care.

   "It takes two to dance." The words were spoken quite bluntly, Alioth pushing the now empty plate slightly away from themselves. "Unfortunately, in a fight, turns are..."    There was a pause here before they rumbled, a noise deep within their throat lost somewhere in their chest. "It's not something that can always be counted upon."

   The scrape of their chair, the creaking of wood as they sat back in their seat. Arms crossed over their chest, they spoke rather bluntly without sparing anyone's pride. "It's about reading cues. Knowing what the other is going to do as well as yourself or even better. Both of you that is."

   Well, that took more than practice together. It took a lot of time together as well. A team... how long as it been since the Bear had been in one?

[many-masked]

For a brief second, Topaz glanced down watching the Bear decimate their opponents. Huffing she returned to attention to the Nevermore, ears ringing as it let out a shrill shriek. It was circling around further away before wheeling around towards the group.

The glittering barrier she used as a platform sprang out in length, fading into the air as she leaped off the end, spinning her weapon above her head, praying to Dust she hadn’t been mistaken. The massive black Grimm shot by underneath the student as it dove for the battle below.

Her blade flashed down burying itself in the beast’s shoulder, Topaz’s body smacking uncomfortably against it as she jerked to a stop on it’s back. Activating the Dust on her sash she stabbed a short hunting knife in as well, the Nevermore spiraling in the skies trying to shake her off. 

She bitterly hoped Alioth was doing better than herself.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - A decimation was one way to describe the manner that the fight below was occurring. Fangs and claws, teeth and blade, and all that noise and racket. If the Grimm bit, the Bear bit right back. Blood that dripped onto the floor going unnoticed as they pulled the jaws of the Beowolf off their arm.

   The wound would sting later, yet now, there was only the tearing of bones as the berserker blood within them boiled. To follow their namesake in a rage, they roared into the face of another black shape that stumbled back from the noise.

   They would drive the smaller Grimm back. If for no other reason than for the understanding that would eventually be reached that the Bear was not a force to be easily pushed by back a mere pack of lesser Grimm. The one above though...

   Alioth snarled and spat the fur out of their mouth, grabbing a nearly stone from the ground and throwing it up at the Nevermore.    The Bear was here. The Bear would not be ignored.

christmas/holiday movie starter sentences!

"Everything I do turns into a disaster. I guess I really don’t know what Christmas is all about."

"I know when I’ve been insulted!"

"I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It’s not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."

"Don’t you know sarcasm when you hear it?"

"Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel."

"You’re the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem."

"I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?"

"The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear."

"I just like to smile! Smiling’s my favorite."

"I think you’re really beautiful and I feel really warm when I’m around you and my tongue swells up."

"You smell like beef and cheese, you don’t smell like Santa."

"Oh, I forgot to give you a hug!"

"What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down."

"Why don’t you kiss her instead of talking her to death?"

"I’ll love you ‘til the day I die."

"Every time you hear a bell ring, it means that some angel’s just got his wings."

"Isn’t there any romance in you?"

"You’ll shoot your eye out."

"Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!"

"We’re all in this together."

"This is a full blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here."

"It’s silly, but I believe."

"One can never have enough socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair."

"God bless us, every one!"

"Seeing isn’t believing, believing is seeing."

[real-normal-girls]

"That was supposed to be on the agenda, but my partner backed out on me."  She was assuming that’s what was meant by training.  Usually Weiss would be doing something else besides that, but the day would have been devoted to training with Ruby.  Weiss usually would have come up with a backup plan, but she had stressed how important this was to Ruby who didn’t get it.

Weiss quickened her pace to keep up with her companion for this little walk.  That involved spinning back around again so she didn’t hurt herself.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - The crowd was thin enough for the Bear, the noise a low dim into the background. They didn't stop moving, but they seemed to have heard Weiss's reply. Simply that they had a different priority at the moment. Mainly that of food.

   The tray that they did end up with was piled with food. Not that surprising considering their size. Still, that was a lot of food that went down very quickly the moment that they found a seat. All this going on about without much paying attention to Weiss. It was only halfway through that they paused, fixing that gaze upon the younger one.

   "Training," they grumbled. The word once more in the air, only with this time, the fork then held in their hands was pointed at themselves. It was with a shrug that they continued speaking, gruff words not quite used to being spoken. "Not sure how much help I'll be though,"

[many-masked]

Topaz shifted the balance of her weapon in her hands, frowning up at the flying beast. Without a way to get up there, she would have to wait until it swooped back down for them to get a chance at it. The student watched a long moment as it wheeled through the air distantly.

A short snarling came to her left then. Whipping her head around, Topaz threw herself flat letting the Beowolf’s claw slash empty air, ramming her blade under it’s rib cage.

She wasted no time watching it disintegrate mind made up. Alioth could handle himself, she was confident in that much. Sprinting for one of the wolves, she jumped at the last minute, using it’s head as a springboard to launch herself into the air. A shimmering barrier slipped beneath her feet, giving her something else to push off as she made her way to the circling Grimm.

[ursidaeskin]

熊 - It was almost a relief, actually, to have Topaz leave the near vicinity of the Bear's claws. Not that the student was a bad fighter or anything of that sort, but given the lack of control that Alioth had during fighting... Well, better safe than sorry.

   A low growl that came from their chest as they hunched over, scraping their claws against the dirt before they threw themselves into the fight once more. This time with a lot more energy as claws caught into fur, bone and flesh. In fact, one could almost swear that they bit one of the Grimm.

   Thinning numbers and sheer brute force, that was their job. The Grimm knew it too as they started falling back once again. Leaving only the Nevermore with the fighters.

   The large bird let out a cry, sweeping about once more. To strike either the group or Topaz heading towards itself through the air.
