25th Aura | Video & Action

[aurabble]

[A smaller blonde boy with somewhat shaggy, unkempt hair that falls to his chin and a familiar bunny hoodie that just makes him look even scrawnier appears in view. He's licking the last remnants of the chocolate, but he stops and tries to appear like he's more calmer than he really is because he'spanickingwhattheheckisgoingon.]

Is this a prank? I can't afford a scroll like this. But this doesn't seem like my sisters style. Has anyone seen my sisters? There's seven of them. Mom and dad are gonna be so mad if they find out they abandoned me. [Why does he look a little smug about that?] They'll probably give me all the waffles and cereal I want... But I'm hungry now. And I--

[He misses them! He looks crestfallen for a second before brightening.] Wait. Is this... Is this some kind of adventure? I've been transported to another world. That must--

THAT MUST MEAN I HAVE TO SAVE THE SPACE PRINCESS!

[Because he's in Nova City! Feeling better for the time being, Jaune will be wandering the city.]

The Space Princess? Is there a space princess here?

[She looks around on her end of the feed. Is the princess over here??]

Also you have seven sisters? What's that like? [Not like she has any real experience to go off of, here.]

Re: [Video]

[aurabble]

There has to be, fellow adventurer!

[She has to be one of the chosen group members. It's the most logical conclusion. He makes a face when Penny brings up his sisters.]

They're super annoying. They always tell mom and dad I took their toys when I didn't take them, I was borrowing them, and they mess with my hair and try to dress me up just because I'm better looking than them and they're loud and they eat my waffles... But I guess they're okay sometimes.

[sal_u_tations]

[Ooh, she's an adventurer now! She looks pretty happy about that!]

Then we'll have to find her! Who knows where she might be?

I guess it's a hard life with that many siblings, huh. I'm an only child, so I don't know what that's like.

[... Well, that's technically true.]

Re: [Video]

[aurabble]

[He grins.]

We'll find her. I got a map. I'm Jaune.

It's not always so bad. Mom says having to take care of a lot of girls will make girls like me more someday. But I don't want to like girls like that it's weird. [He bites his bottom lip and just stares at her before coming to a conclusion.]

Wanna be my big sister?

[Video]

[sal_u_tations]

[Jaune? Well, he certainly looks like Jaune. Wait, weren't there issues around town--]

I'm Penny! It's nice to meet you, Jaune. [Again. But maybe it's best not to hurt his brain with time shenanigans. It's strange enough to her!]

Well, you want to make friends with girls, right? Even if you don't want to like girls like that, being around a lot of girls isn't bad! [After all, he's around them a whole lot in the future, right?

His question takes her by surprise, but she nods with minimal hesitation.] Sure! I'll be your big sister.

[whiteas]

That's a lot of sisters.

[ His parents must've gone to the baby store a lot. (That's where babies come from right? -Tiny Weiss Schnee, probably) ]

video;

[aurabble]

Yup. But don't worry, they aren't here. I think.

[Gosh she's beautiful! She must be the Space Princess, her hair glows like the moon and her eyes sparkle just like the stars!]

video;

[whiteas]

What happened? Did you get in trouble and they left you?

[ At least some of her family is in this weird phone though there's a bunch of other people she doesn't know too.. so, clearly Jaune did something to get left behind. ]

video;

[aurabble]

They wouldn't do that!

[Would they? His voice gets high in pitch as he becomes defensive.] Clearly I woke up here because I'm some sorta...chosen one thingy. Besides, I haven't gotten in trouble for three months.

video;

[whiteas]

Really?

[ She feels like she gets in trouble all the time. Even when she isn't actually in trouble, but clearly she did something even when she can't figure it out. so Jaune not getting in trouble for three whole months seems.. well, surprising. She's kind of impressed. But.. ]

I don't believe you! You wouldn't be dressed like that if you were a good boy, your parents would've bought you something nicer to wear.

[video]

[bellagatta]

[... Should tiny Blake rush to Nova City now? Maybe someone who is not tiny would be a better option. Also what is going on? This isn't just a physical change?? Or maybe Jaune's just acting something like that age while he's tiny??? ....ummmm... one thing at a time, she guesses.]

Careful while you're looking for that princess, okay?

[video]

[aurabble]

[Tiny Blake looks cool and mysterious to Jaune. And she sounds smart. Naturally, he clams up.]

Y-Yeah.

[Should he invite her? He wants to invite her...]

[video]

[bellagatta]

[... yeah, really good advice to a real kid, Blake and really convincing yeah from him.]

Actually, stay where you are and I'll be there, then I'll help you look for her.

[video]

[aurabble]

[His eyes brighten. It's just like destiny! Two heroes teaming up to save someone!]

Okay. I'm Jaune. The Arc Knight.

[ivegotadream]

Do you want me to bring you some food?

[Because lost child, she assumes this is how you help them? Feed them and then help look for parents.]

Then maybe an adventure to find your parents again. because that sounds like fun really.

Re: video;

[aurabble]

[Oh gosh it's a beautiful grownup lady how do you girls. How does he talk to girls??? Blake was nice but this one isn't mean like the princess. Maybe she's the real princess in disguise!

Jaune nods, trying his best to sound nonchalant and failing.]

You can come if you want.

video;

[ivegotadream]

Great! I'll bring some pie... Though... Do you like pie or should I bring something else?

[Because she just made pie today, but she was fine making something else, or just making sandwiches. That was always fun.]

video;

[aurabble]

No! I mean. I like pie. Pie's the best!

[His stomach growls very loudly at that time and he grimaces.]

[Video]

[k2so]

Jaune? You look very...tiny.

As far as I know, your sisters aren't here, no. And there's no princesses that need to be saved.

Re: [Video]

[aurabble]

That's because you're a giant robot.

[...A giant robot that's talking to him. With a high pitched scream that could break an organic's eardrums, Jaune drops his phone.]

Oh my gosh. You're a giant robot!

[Video]

[k2so]

You've got a good set of lungs there. [Kay is glad his audios can't hurt him like human ears do.]

The correct term would be droids. But yes, yes I am. I'm guessing you don't remember me either, I'm 2So. Kaytoo for short.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian is just lingering about, wondering where his abilities to cause trouble are needed next, when his attention is drawn to a younger boy screaming about space princesses.

The teenager wrinkles his nose and looks down at the bottle of spray paint. He could try and give the Welcome Center a truly welcoming message. Or he could see what this is about a space princess. He gives a mental shrug and approaches the boy. ]

Who's the princess?

[aurabble]

[Jaune pauses and gapes at the older boy, shocked he's even being addressed by someone so...cool.

Maybe he should grow his hair out.]

She's-- She's in hiding, or she's been kidnapped, so her identity is a secret right now. That's why we gotta find her!

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Maybe you should, Jaune, come and be rebellious! ]

Umm... Okay.

[He looks around, making sure there are no conspicuous adults eavesdropping. ]

We're going to need something to start searching.

[aurabble]

[But being rebellious gets disappointed looks and cereal rights revoked!

He frowns thoughtfully.]

You're right. We're going to have to pretend that we're royal space fighters.
