What the heck?

[Upon exiting his cocoon, Jaune had his pamphlet in one hand and his necklace and videophone in the other and looking back and forth between them.]

What the heck is all this?! Oh God, why did I step into that cocoon? Stupid cocoon...

[Welp, better start wandering around. Reading the pamphlet might help, but such foresight is beyond him.]

Hello? Helllloooooo? Hey! Is anyone here?

Gah, man...! [Finally he looks to his videophone.] ... The heck is this anyway? Let's see... [He just starts pushing buttons.] Beep boop boop beep~

[Oh look Jaune. All that button pressing brought Ruby up on your videophone. She's surprised to see you.]

Jaune!?

[Fascinating technology!]

Ruby! What are you doing?! [Wait, more important question.] I mean, where are you? And... where am I?

[She just finished freaking out about the same thing.]

Uhm... I'm still kind of trying to figure that one out for myself.

The pamphlet said we're in Genessia, but I've never heard of it before.

Wait, what?

[He fumbles out the pamphlet and finally opens it to see what it says. His eyes scan it quickly.] Get a job?! I'm still in school!

Well, that's just great... So I woke up in The Bay? Did you wake up in the Bay too? You gotta be close then. [And he'd totally feel safer around the girl with a scyth-per rifle.]

I think this thing's got directions to a city... and I was wondering what all this paper was! Man, this is really interesting - I mean, if you ignore the fact that we'll never see our friends ever again.

...

RUBY. WE WILL NEVER SEE OUR FRIENDS AGAIN! WHAT DO WE DO? D:

I know, right!? That's what I said.

[She'll nod.]

Yeah I woke up there too... It was a little creepy. I can make my back there to get you if you want?

[All that panic she had managed to bottle up on her way to the town, that was all rushing back out when Jaune mentioned that they weren't going to see any of their friends again.

She was about to freak out again when realized that she did have a friend here. Jaune was here, she was talking to him right now. That was one more friend here than what she thought she'd have, which in itself was a rather calming thought.]

Jaune, Jaune! I'll tell you what we aren't going to do. We're not going to freak out. I mean, I'm here and you're here. That means the others could be around here somewhere, maybe they just haven't woken up yet?

[That was a better thought than them not being around at all.]

[Jaune calms himself pretty quickly as Ruby plants some hasty logic onto things. Odd, coming from Ruby.] Yeah... Yeah, you're right. Okay, well... we can just wait for them then. At the nearest city. I just hope we can find somewhere to stay... Alright, well, um... make your way there! I'll meet you there.

[She's already had a freak out about this place and not seeing her friends again. If Jaune could show up, anyone could.]

Yeah. Well just hold on and I'll be there soon. Then we can worry about finding a place to stay.

[And she hangs up the video phone, but it's not too long after that she shows up around the Bay.]

Jaune? You around?

[Jaune ends up running into Ruby in front of one of the many archways that supposedly lead to the city of Genessia.]

Quirky girl, red hood, quirky girl, red hood... quirky giiiirllll... Ah! [He spots her.] Ruby! I made it! I... didn't see anyone else on my way here. Nothing but water and emptiness.

Edited 2013-11-22 06:33 (UTC)

Jaune!

[Okay. That's not exactly what she wanted to hear, but she wasn't exactly expecting him to run into everyone either. Well at least he was here, that was still more than she was expecting.]

Well... We're just going to have make do with just us for now. Hopefully everyone else will show up sooner or later. ...I hope...

Yeah! Well... you said people could come, right? So we'll just wait, I guess. My Mom always said that waiting can get you more things than being impatient.

[He takes a deep breath.] Until then... where am I supposed to live? And work? I better get looking.

Edited 2013-11-23 01:03 (UTC)

Yeah! I mean, I didn't think anyone I knew was going to show up, but here you are? That's gotta be a sign right?

Uhmmm... That's a good question, one I kind of have to figure out for myself too.

Well maybe we can look around together?

What, you think I'm going to just go wandering around by myself? No way, I'm sticking with you.

[At least then if something happens, Ruby can kick butt.]

I'm just saying I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to.

[Yes she would, she wouldn't let you get hurt Jaune.]

Well I guess we should go to town and find a place to stay first. That makes sense, right?

Yeah! Makes sense. We have money... [He holds up that wrap of cash he got, she was supposed to have gotten one too.] It's for lodging and junk, supposedly. I guess after that we find... [Shudder] ... jobs.

Edited 2013-11-23 01:45 (UTC)

[She'll hold up hers too, just to show that she has it.]

Jobs... ugh...

This is not what I wanted to wake up to...

Enough with the button pushing!

[Raye's sitting up in bed, her black hair tangled and messy. That's some serious bedhead. Considering she's been asleep for months, it's not surprising. She rubs at an eye, still not entirely awake, which might explain why she's a little cranky.]

Did you just get here? You don't need to freak out, you're not in any danger.

[Seeing a girl's face flicker onto the screen, Jaune blinked a few times.] Oh, hi! Who are you? I guess this is some kinda phone... that's neat! So... I'm not in any danger? Well if that's the case, why do I feel like something really bad happened?

Edited 2013-11-22 07:41 (UTC)

How should I know? Are you unusually intuitive?

[Quietly she chides herself. She doesn't need to be biting off every newcomer's head. She was scared and angry when she first showed up here, after all, and he's handling this a lot better than Raye did.]

Hold on.

[She switches to audio so she can get dressed and stop chatting up people in her pajamas.]

I'm Raye. Sorry if I'm a little blunt, I just woke up. Anyway, you're safe. Harry keeps an eye out for new people, so if you picked up one of his fliers outside of the Bay, he's probably on his way now. You can trust him, he's a good guy.

I don't... think I am? [How was he supposed to answer that? He's used to weird things happening to him, it seemed. Oh if only Raye knew some of the things he'd seen and done already.]

Well, Raye, I'm Jaune - Jaune Arc. [He was tempted to be charming, but he just didn't seem to have it in him.] Fliers? I kinda just... woke up. I have all this stuff in the box I found, and like... a pamphlet. I dunno what I'm really supposed to do or why I'm here... It's all really weird.

So, Harry, huh? Welp... I don't see much out here other than water and a cave. Suppose I better start walking.

He's a tall wizard who makes lots of nerdy jokes, but he's totally dependable.

[She dresses quickly, and smoothes down her rumpled hair as best she can before switching back to video format.]

I'll head down there too, just in case he's busy with something else. Start reading that pamphlet in the meantime, it'll tell you most everything you really need to know.

[He didn't have to walk too far to find a flier outside the entrance to the Bay, all while keeping Raye on the video phone because he wasn't entirely comfortable with being alone. He read the pamphlet, about what everything was for and getting a job, so he wore the necklace. He'd pocketed what he could too, just so his free hand could clutch his sword.]

Oh, I think I found what you were talking about. (http://genessia.dreamwidth.org/895.html#comments)[He reads it, of course. It isn't very long.] Aw man... no way back? But... [He sure seemed really, really upset about that.] ... Man...

Should I call this guy?

Can't hurt! Both of us have been here the same amount of time, but he's gone and made himself a City Guardian, so he probably enjoys showing the new guys around.

[She does too, but she's still sleepy.]

[Serious-face.] Okay. Thanks Raye. I'm heading into the city now I think, so I'm going to let you go and give him a call. I'll just stick near the entrance for now.

Sounds good!

[She stretches one arm over her head until she almost shakes, then relaxes.]

I've got some catching up to do. Keep me updated.

I will. Thanks again.

[He pushes a few more buttons, until finally finding the one to hang up.] Ah, there. Ooookay... So then...

Beep boob beep...
