What the heck?

[short_n_sweet]

[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~

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.

[onecream_fivesugar]

[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?

[short_n_sweet]

[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.

[onecream_fivesugar]

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...

[short_n_sweet]

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.

[onecream_fivesugar]

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?

[short_n_sweet]

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.]

[onecream_fivesugar]

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?

[short_n_sweet]

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.

[onecream_fivesugar]

[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...
