[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?]

[Whenever Ruby manages to get her device turned back on, she'll see a masked dragon in the video feed. Said dragon actually remembers her from when he first arrived, so he'll give her a nod.]

Ruby...

[Okay, it's not a Grimm mask, but still kinda creepy!] Er, hello, masked dragon... Person... Hi? [No sign of recognition, it seems.]

[Video]

[kalmaleader]

...You don't remember me, do you? Well, I suppose it's understandable. We haven't spoken much, if at all, since I first arrived.

[But he is wondering how anyone could forget a face like his...]

[Have a friendly call back, then:]

Hello, Ruby Rose~! Nice to meet you! I'm Satou Kuroneko... We both have colourful names!

[Do black cats count as colourful?]

Re: [Video]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Uuuuh, I'm... Pretty sure I'd recall meeting a Dragon. Especially one who is, you know, capable of talking and not a Grimm and not trying to kill me. So, uh. Something?

Re: video

[are_you_robbing_me]

... Well, yes? Is that unusual somehow here? Everyone uses color names where I'm from...

[gladiara_alata]

Hello, Miss Rose.

I'm Setsuna. Nice to meet you. Have you seen the hologram yet?

Do you perhaps have any other questions? I've not been here long myself, but maybe I can help.

[Video]

[kalmaleader]

[Perhaps his name will refresh her memory?]

My name is Qubine.

...Did you just arrive here by chance?

[Video]

[sal_u_tations]

[She wasn't entirely sure what got her attention first - the voice, or the name. But either way, she was making her way back to where she remembered the dream docks being, turning her own video feed on.]

Ruby! You have no idea how happy I am to hear your voice. Are you at the dream docks still?

[Video]

[solar_flare]

Ruby!!!

[Whatever mood Yang was in before, good or bad, it's now a thousand times elevated. Weiss was actually right, go figure! ...She'll probably get a call soon telling Yang as much, but she's so happy right now she doesn't even care.]

Hang on, I'll swing by to pick you up. Are you hungry? Or would you rather sit down and take a moment to soak it all in? It's a lot, I know.

[And this isn't the first time her sister's been here, so Yang isn't really sure it's one of the two she had before. Doesn't matter. Ruby's still Ruby.]

[priceofmagic]

Wait, really?

What a colourful world you must be from! Back home, for me, it's not common at all..!

[heribbon]

[Mami was wandering around the city, map, closed but in hand. It was important for her to learn the area, and the general mood in parts of the city. That was how she found her way here. Noticing the other girl panicking, she came over.]

Do you need help?

[bornunlucky]

Ruby!

[ Look at Qrow, actually forgetting that playing lazy and nonchalant is his #aesthetic. This is just him grinning excitedly at having gotten the best Ruby-shaped present. ]

Where are you, when did you get here?

Re: [Video]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Well! Yes.

Hello, Qubine! I'm new here! I should probably have said that in the first place, huh.

[are_you_robbing_me]

... I mean, I knew that the color names routine had historic origins in Remnant, so now I think it, it probably would be odd in places where there was less history of authoritarian rule that is against art, huh...

Re: [Video]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Eh, I think I'm good for now, thankfully - Weiss is one of my teammates back home, so I'm sure she can explain! Pleased to meet you, though, Setsuna!

Re: [Video]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Oh, hi Penny! ... Wait, the Dream Docks? I'm in this weird cave full of creepy bed-coffins and water and... Wait, am I a vampire now?

Re: [Video]

[are_you_robbing_me]

Oh hey sis! ... That's. Actually a really good question? I don't think I'm super-hungry now, but I'm kinda confused...

Re: [Action]

[are_you_robbing_me]

So many menus... These are so much more complicated than the systems back home! ... Oh, uh, hi! You, uh. Saw that video huh.

[are_you_robbing_me]

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?

[Video]

[kalmaleader]

[Well, it certainly cheered her up, it seems. Qubine gives a sigh.]

I see...so it's true what they've said. That most of the time when a person is sent back to their own worlds and brought back later, they have no memory of their previous time here...

[bornunlucky]

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.

Re: [Action]

[heribbon]

Yes, but it's nothing to be embarrassed about. These are pretty complicated. Would you like me to show you how to use it?

[You literally only know how to post videos with it Mami please.]

[nosparklesthx]

Hiya Ruby Rose!

[Have a girl waving and smiling at the newcomer.]

I'm Kailah. New here too, but... Did you mean to cut that video feed so soon?

[whiteas]

Ruby!

[ Wow, that actually wasn't Weiss yelling at her. Just sounding surprised. In the past, Weiss hadn't exactly been in a great place when Rubys arrived. She was in a much better place now, feeling much more like herself, and she has to admit that she does miss her partner from time to time.

...Even if there was definitely a lot to fill Ruby in on. She wonders how long it's going to take for Ruby to realize she looks older than she did. As in nearly 4 years older. ]

You seem... [ Wait, is that her outfit from Beacon? Maybe even more of an age difference than Weiss thought. ] What's the last thing you remember, Ruby?
