It's raining pets! Hallelujah! [Action/Open/Ruby]
Outside
Jaune sticks his hand out the front door of the apartment building he lived in before he dared step out. It's supposed to be raining cats and dogs, as per the newspaper's readings... but he felt nothing. "Ha!" He smiles, "Thank goodness that weather report was wrong. Maybe the rest of them will be too."
Great! Now he can go march to Harry's office in Everglade and tell him that he's gonna sign up. Then Jaune could work his way up to being a real hero! It's kinda like when he joined Beacon - minus the falsifying of documents and all that. So on his way he goes! And he starts passing by the Bay when suddenly...
MEAO!
Jaune hears a terrified meow of a cat who falls from the sky, and he looks up just in time...!
... To have it land on his face.
"WAH! OH MY GOD!" He wails as the tabby starts flipping the heck OUT, kind of like he does. Before it scampers off and darts away though, it leaves his face with a frantic claw-raking. Jaune screams like a little girl as it hurries off, clutching his now scratched-across face - one big set of three claw marks diagonally across his face and a couple nicks taken off his chin.
"OH HORRIBLE PAIN!" He shouts, "NOTHING COULD BE MORE AGONIZING THAN THE PAIN I FEEL AT THIS MOMENT!!"
He kind of flails around for a moment before simply slumping up next to something - a vending machine we'll say. His screaming stops, but now he's all teary-eyed and miserable.
"What is WRONG with this place?!"
FOR RUBY AND ROOM MATES
So, life sucks now, as Jaune is kinda iffy about going out when he could get landed on by another cat - or worse, some kinda big dog. He carefully made his way back through the city towards home. He can just CALL Harry. Jaune's not too stupid though, and takes a route close to buildings, under tarps, or whatever else he had to do to avoid another animal onslaught.
As he goes however, and nears his home again, he hears this sad little whine.
"Eh?" Looking over, he spots this pitiful-looking puppy. It's so small, it must have just gotten its black fur in, and wasn't very old at all. It was around the side of Jaune's building, probably looking for food or something, and when it saw him, it kind of wilted and backed off.
"Aw, hey there little guy," Jaune smiles in a sorry way to the puppy as it tries to growl at him, but it doesn't seem very intimidating at all. Stepping closer, Jaune squats down to be more its level and holds out his hand. "Come here, I'm not gonna hurt you. I'm pretty sure you can take me anyway."
The pup seems apprehensive at first, but as Jaune wiggles his fingers, the little canine inches closer. "You're pretty tiny, aren't you?" Jaune asks, "Come on. You need something to eat."
It takes some time, but Jaune finally takes hold of the puppy and lifts it up to carry it with him. Poor thing seems scared, but more than willing to accept its fate should Jaune decide to kill it - which is totally not going to happen, by the way. Jaune instead brings it inside where he can take care of it. He spends a good deal of time making sure its warm, has some milk to drink and some food to eat... It was an adorable little black wolf puppy - way different than most of the things falling from the sky.
But he got himself an idea...
Jaune was at 402 pretty quickly, and while he knocked on the door, he had a feeling Yang and Ruby never locked it. He'd be right, as he opened it to stick his head in, with a bundled-up something-or-other in his arms. "Hey? Guys? You home?"

Well, see, that's the thing... Me? I'm totally no good with animals. I can barely take care of a gold fish! Heh... [Rolling his eyes, he kind of swayed side to side.] Aaaaanyway, I saw this little fella rummaging through the alleys outside, and I got him all cleaned up and stuff... I figured I'd bring him over to see you.
[Carefully he held the dog out towards Ruby. Darn thing's just staring at her with its beady little eyes and wagging its barely-there tail. Even barks once!] He sure seems to like you. Wanna hold him?
no subject
Oh look at you! *gaaaaaaaaaaaaasp*
[Yang is right there, affectionately mooshing the pup's furry face in her cupped hands.]
Who's the cutest little guy in the world? It's you! It's yooooouuuu!
[Better rescue that pup before Yang hugs it, Ruby.]
no subject
[She was most certainly doing better than when they found her, it was hard to get worse than that, but she still wasn't quite at a hundred percent yet. Her muscles still felt kind of off and her body was still having trouble producing heat. Mentally, she was still pretty shaken from the whole ordeal but at the moment.
She's caught a little off guard when Jaune said he brought the puppy over to see her, in a good way. Harry was right, she has some great friends who are going to look out for her.
When Jaune asked if she wanted to hold the little puppy, she'd smile and nod.]
Yang, come on, give him some space!
[And Ruby slides in between both Yang and Jaune to scoop the puppy up into her arms.]
no subject
Y'know... if you think you can take care of it, you'd probably do a better job than me.
no subject
[Yang can see what Jaune is doing, and honestly, she's a little touched. Maybe she takes him for granted sometimes, but he's an awesome friend to Ruby, and she treasures that.]
no subject
[Ruby holds the puppy in both arms and rubs her cheek against his.]
Me? Sure, I mean I guess I could look after him for you for a little while. ...I'm not really doing anything at the moment.
[She doesn't realize it's a gift yet.]
no subject
no subject
The puppy is a gift, Now she gets it. That has got be the sweetest thing ever.]
Really? Yes, of course I would. Thank you so much!
[She'll look down at the puppy.]
You hear that boy? You're going to be staying with us from now. How does that sound?
[The puppy let out a small, happy bark and lick her cheek.]
H-hey! Okay, I think he likes the idea.
no subject
Great! Uh, I guess I wouldn't dump a dog on you guys and just leave, so I'll pick you up some dog-things soon. [He shrugs a little, rubbing the back of his neck.] Y'know like... food and stuff.
no subject
[She settles her hands on her hips and grins at Jaune before turning to face Ruby.]
That'll give you time to get to know your new roomie, sis!
no subject
I-I don't know what to say... Thank you so much Jaune.
[She'll glance between Jaune, Yang and the puppy for a moment.]
Sure, you both go on. I'll give this little guy the grand tour. ...And maybe a name too.
