2 Cookies Eaten [Action/Audio.]

The next time Yang wants Pop-tarts, she can go and pick them up herself. The last thing Ruby had expected was a bunch of goons to ambush her on way from the store. While Ruby could say that the majority of these guys were going to be spending some time in the hospital after this encounter, she couldn't say that she won either. One of those goons managed to land a land a lucky shot that left her dazed and unable to defend herself from a second shot that knocked her unconscious.

This was the worst day ever.

When Ruby regained consciousness, she was welcomed by a throbbing headache and a pain in her back. The headache was probably thanks to shot that knocked her out and the sore back was probably thanks to the pipe she was tied up to.

...Wait a second... Those thugs tied her to a pipe!?

Normally Ruby would start to run around in circles and panic, but she couldn't do that at that the moment so flailing around against the pipe would have to do. Once she got the initial shock of her situation out of her system she took a few deep breaths and began to look around to see just how bad it really was.

It looked like she was in some sort of underground waterway or sewer. Her hands were tied behind her back. Rope pinned her to the pillar at her ankles, knees and waist. There was a steady stream of water flowing into the room, right now it go over her feet but seemed to be slowly rising. Crescent Rose propped up against a wall a few feet away where she couldn't reach it, great. There also seemed to be a note posted up beside Crescent Rose, it didn't take her long to read it over but by the time she was finished she could feel her heart pounding in her chest.

1. Read off that speech and if you deviate from it by a single word you will die immediately.

2. You can talk to anybody but if you even attempt to speculate about where you are, or about who brought you here, you will die immediately.


This is the worst day ever.

Luckily whoever had done this to her had been nice enough to leave her phone in her reach. It took a bit of time thanks her to trembling fingers and not being able to see what she's doing in the first place, but she managed to start up an audio broadcast.

[Audio]

O-once upon a time, Little Red Riding hood was bringing a basket through the woods to grandmother's house. But in these woods were many dangers, and soon she found herself being hunted by the Big Bad Wolf. The little girl ran and ran as fast as she could but try as she might, the Wolf followed her through those dark woods until she had nowhere left to run.

Now the wolf has her and he's brought her all the way back to where her story began, and is getting ready to gobble her up. Unless a brave huntsman can come find her before that happens.

The water is rising and the clock is ticking. Three hours.

Move quickly. There will be no resurrections today, nomatterwhatpriceispaid.

[Good. Every new set of eyes looking for Ruby is a bonus.

Even so, Blake is cut off guard by the sound of jet engines incoming and looks up to see the suit of armor coming her way. What the hell?!

She jumps back a few steps, crouching a little and reaching back for her weapon's hilt, only blinking when she hears Sofia's voice comes out of the suit.]


Sofia? [She straightens, letting go of Gambol Shroud and blinking at the suit. Later. She could ask later.] She's underground somewhere that's filling up with water. We're trying to find out where that is, maybe a waterway or something similar. Do you know this city?

[She gives a wave at Blake who looked surprised of her suit]

Not this particular one, unfortunately. It's too archaic from the Paris I know.

[She pauses. Wait a minute. Ruby sent a message via the necklace. That's some form of tech, so she could possibly track it with VI. It's worth a shot]

I got an idea. Let's hope it works.

[It wasn't her fault. She hadn't seen the suit before and it wasn't really the first thing you expected to find in a place like this.]

What is it?

[She steps closer, watching whatever it is Sofia's up to.]

The necklaces we all own, I still don't know what exact kind of tech it's made of but I can trace any electronic device from above, and I'll point your team to the right direction. Move out.

[Sofia closes her helmet, soaring directly upwards with an open map of the area. Ordering VI to expand the radius of the radar. It could see down to 50 feet from the ground level, and with only a few electronic signatures in the area, she'll be able to spot the only one that isn't moving. If that's in a waterway or a well, then it must be where Ruby is]
