[Video/Action] A new arrival!

[are_you_robbing_me]

[Video]

Okay, so! Uh. Hi, people! I'm Ruby Rose, and, uh. I'm here now?

... I. Had a point I was going to here, but... Uh...

Weiss? Is anyone else here?

[The video shuts off, as if she accidentally hit the 'end' button.]

[Action]



[In front of the hologram of Weiss, there is a girl with mostly black hair, and a black-and-red outfit, and she's panicking a bit.]

Ack, was that the end call button?! Cancel! Undo! Something!

[And she starts trying to work through the menus very quickly.

Depending on when you arrive, it might have been a little bit. And she probably hasn't succeeded yet. Perhaps bothering her to focus on other concerns might be a good idea?]

Oh hi Uncle Qrow! [Ruby nods a bit.] I'm.. Uh, the weird place with the Coffins and the Weiss hologram and the few inches of water and the wait was I sleeping with my boots on? I'm gonna have really bad foot cramps... I... Uh. Dunno how long I've been here, but I woke up like six minutes ago maybe?

Is Yang picking you up? Because I'm all the way in Fayren but if you can wait a little I'll be there.

[ He wants to see her anyway and reassure himself that it's really her and she's alright but well he isn't going to make her wait by the lake if she doesn't have to.

He looks her over as good as he can via video. ]

It's good to see you, kiddo.

[are_you_robbing_me]

Yang is already on the way, so... Yeah! This place is weird, though. But at least it looks like most of the team's here. And Penny. And you. So that's cool!

[bornunlucky]

Taiyang was here for a while, too. But he's gone home now. People keep coming and going. We had plans for going exploring, too, and I miss raiding his fridge.

[ So, in roundabout words, he misses him. ]

[are_you_robbing_me]

... Oh. Dad always had a pretty nicely stocked fridge... [Lots of milk. Milk would be nice soon.] Woulda been nice to see him, kinda. Especially after the train incident...

[bornunlucky]

The train acci...

[ Qrow cuts himself off, frowning slightly as he sizes up Ruby a little closer. She looks... younger? ]

This is gonna sound weird, kiddo, but what's the last big thing that happened before you came here?

[are_you_robbing_me]

Oh, Weiss mentioned this part!

Train with bombs on it, attempting to let a bunch of Grimm into Remnant? We took the Grimm down, and got Roman Torchwick arrested?

Sound familiar?

[bornunlucky]

Yes... I remember.

[ But the answer is coming slowly, hesitantly. He gives himself a mental shove. ]

That was a while ago for me.

[are_you_robbing_me]

Yeah, multiple people seem kinda scared to tell me what happens afterwards. Never mind the weirdness here. Like Weiss and Sun...

[bornunlucky]

[ Qrow gives a little chuckle at that. ]

Yeah, that... Takes getting used to, huh? You've got no idea how weird this place is. It doesn't make a whiff of sense. Best to just go with it.

[ Like Yang being with Mercury. He still doesn't understand it but she's happy. ]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Yeah... At least a bunch of people are here, so that's sorta neat... Ish. But there's also the time factor. I mean, somehow, I'm from way before some of us. And that's... Just crazy to think about, you know?

[bornunlucky]

I know, right? Soon after I got here there was a while where everyone had memories from my future, plus these extra years they'd been here... Weiss is years older than she should be. Yang, too, but it's more extreme in Weiss's case. I've had my days where I woke up and wondered if I'm drunk.

[are_you_robbing_me]

I wouldn't know that feeling, but... It's definitely kind of crazy. But I think I can handle it! Probably.

[bornunlucky]

Of course you can. You've handled worse, kiddo.

[ Qrow thinks for a moment, head tilted slightly sideways. ]

This place is tough, but nothing you can't handle. Speaking of tough places, I'll let you catch up with Yang first but I'm sending you my address in Fayren. Drop by soon, yeah?

[are_you_robbing_me]

Got it! It'll be good to see you, Uncle Qrow!
