Profile 003 - [Action]

 WHO: Sofia Sinclair and YOU!
WHAT: Sofia playing with big balls Sofia is training against orb-shaped target drones that are flying around the city.
WHEN: January 5th, Noontime
WHERE: Genessia City

Sofia brought along some practice drones when she arrived to Genessia. They'll be smaller than tennis balls, and they'll have the diameter of a coin but they generate semi-opaque blue force-field around them that makes them as big as a basketball and visible from a distance. They move at great speeds and generates a humming sound when they fly around the roofs and down to the sidewalks to get away from Sofia's energy beams. If a drone gets hit by a silver beam, it turns red and deactivates then returns to Sofia's suit. 

The sounds of her little training exercise is close to the real-thing. It doesn't help that she forgot to adjust the aggressiveness of these things to make it less frightening to the locals. Oops!

"Whoa, watch out! Woops. Sorry!" Sofia winces as she flies low over the streets and making a lot of turns in pursuit of the drones. "Remind me to adjust the threat settings on these things, VI honey. Oh, and look for sales on the local grocery stores too and see if they have discounts on some fresh strawberries. I got a craving" 

Sofia spots one drone at the sidewalk, banking left to another and she followed to take it down with one beam from her wrist projector.

With everything that's happened over the last couple of days Blake's been on alert the whole time. Adam reemergence, Yang's disappearance, the attacks on the city. It seemed like the threats to her and her team were growing.

So the buzzing of the training drones doesn't go unnoticed to her while she's walking down the street and her head snaps around, spotting blue energy crackling toward her.

Her reaction is quick, flipping over the drone, leaving it to pass through a shadow clone and she slashes her weapon down and across with a shout, hard enough to send the sphere bouncing across the street.

[Blake lands from the strike in a crouch with her weapon already drawn back, prepared to spin around and strike at whoever just touched down near her.

Until she recognizes Sofia's armor from her brief glimpse of it in Paris.]


Yes, fine.

[She sighs and straightens up, putting the weapon away again.]

What was that thing?
descendsfromshadow: (Attention)

[personal profile] descendsfromshadow 2014-01-06 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[She watched the sphere get dragged back to Sofia's hand. So that suit came with its own training equipment. Even if it did seem a little too bulky and noisy for her, that suit was fascinating.]

I see. I hope I didn't interrupt.

[Perhaps, but Blake's definition of bulky was a relative thing.]

[At the mention of Yang she sighs.]

Yes. It's been days and there hasn't been any sign of her.
descendsfromshadow: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] descendsfromshadow 2014-01-06 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[It's probably for the best that Blake doesn't know about Sofia's lack of effort in the search. Her teammates are all she has and among the three of them, she's the closest to Yang. What Sofia's boss wants really would not be a priority for her.]

Everywhere. We split up searched wherever we could think of, but we haven't found where she's being kept. We even went through the Attleton Archway.

Right now? I'm not sure.

[She hmphs a little, folding her arms and narrowing her eyes.]

I'm on "break."

[And it's clear how she feels about that.]

[personal profile] descendsfromshadow 2014-01-09 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
No. We're searching in pairs.

[She frowned a bit. There'd been so much going on recently, with Adam, and now Yang's disappearance on top of everything else to do with this place that she'd planned to take some time to sort out her thoughts.]

I'm fine. I'm more used to looking after myself than Yang and Ruby.

[It was an understandable mistake for anybody not familiar with how their particular abilities worked. Aura was a far more effective defense than armor and as such sacrifices could be made, as long as speed wasn't sacrificed. And whatever their combat gear looked like, Ruby and Weiss were absolutely not lacking in speed or agility.

And funny enough, Yang's abundance of aura meant she was able to take quite a few more hits than anyone on the team.]


I had a complicated childhood.

[And that was all the detail she was willing to go into on that just now. She folds her arms.]

I wouldn't say I'm the best though. They might have had different experiences, but my teammates are very skilled. Weiss as well.

[Even more than that. Beacon was the academy for the best, after all.]

[She tilts her head a bit, blinking when Sofia mentions Weiss's name.]


Yes. She was brought here as well not too long ago. You've met her?

[Blake nods. That made sense. Weiss had announced herself on the comm just after arriving.]

Well, she hasn't had much time to settle in before all this happened.

We've had even more people from our world appear recently as well. It seems like something out there has a fascination with it.

[Part of training at Beacon meant being prepared for the unexpected. Although this situation probably fell far outside the realm of any reasonable level of preparation.]

As of right now there's all four members of another team, JNPR, our headmaster, two friends of ours and....

[The last one has her hesitating. She's still not sure where Adam stands. He was helping in looking for Yang, for Blake's sake, he claimed, but...]

and... somebody else I'm still not certain about yet.
descendsfromshadow: (Hmm)

[personal profile] descendsfromshadow 2014-01-11 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You have no idea.

[Adam was a definite uncertainty. He had agreed to live here peacefully and had stuck to his word, but how long until somebody misstepped and he ran across somebody like Frollo, or that Vega person working for Bison? She wouldn't complain about Adam's wrath being turned against their enemies, but she worried he might not distinguish much between those humans and all the others.]

Some extra training wouldn't be a bad idea. [It's true, they'd been slacking off on that a bit since getting here. Blake had been earning most of her money on monster hunts in Fayren, but monsters were easy prey. As their time here had proven, people were the much more dangerous enemies.] I'll bring it up to the others after things are back to normal.

[She hopes they'll be back to normal anyway.]

Be careful what you wish for.

[Despite everything, she managed a faint smile. Maybe it was the idea of the whole team back together and being back to fighting side by side with her best friend and partner. It was something to hope for anyway.]

We're a pretty strong team.
descendsfromshadow: (Concerned)

[personal profile] descendsfromshadow 2014-01-14 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She just keeps that quiet smile in response. She was sure that suit Sofia wore had to be pretty powerful, and she got the feeling that they hadn't seen its full capabilities yet. It could be an interesting match up.]

Jaune? [She blinks, shaking her head.] No, our team is only the four of us. Jaune's actually the leader of the other team I mentioned, Team JNPR. [She pronounces it "Juniper" naturally.]
