[The lid to the pod slowly unseals...then cracks off of its hinges, kicked off by a jutting boot from within the cocoon. The lid flips through the air, crashing off of the ceiling and rebounding into the water with a noisy clanging splash. The boot, attached to a strong and shapely leg, goes back down, and the curvy blonde inside of the pod sits up. She yawns. With a few blinks, she smiles, and looks down at the box. She gives it a cursory examination along with its contents, but doesn't bother doing more than skimming the pamphlet before she hoists herself out of the pod. Both boots hit the shallow water, splashing her legs as she strides for the exit. She can read the brochures later; she'd rather get a look at where she is with her own eyes.]

[Genessia seems to be consumed in a cold but gentle rain. Yang peeks out, holding out her hand to feel the drops on her fingers. Crummy weather! She looks at her box.]

Well...better than nothing, I guess!

[Holding the box over her head as a makeshift umbrella, she dashes off to the left. It feels like it's been years since she stretched her legs, and she's eager for the exploration and exercise. She's also eager to find someplace warm and dry.]

--------

[Some time later, Yang's grinning face appears on the screen. Her wild mass of thick blonde hair, wet from the rain, is being rubbed idly with a towel.]

I'm guessing none of you guys would know how to get to Vale from here.

[Yeah, she knows she's not going anywhere anytime soon.]

So tell me.

[She drops the towel in her lap and fluffs out her hair, then settles her chin into her hand, grinning.]

What does a girl do for fun around here?

[Ruby's face pops up on the the screen.]

You could always try visiting your sisters apartment!

Your sister who is so glad you're here and missed you so much!

[Even though she has no actual idea how long it's been since she last saw her. The last few days that she's been awake have felt long enough though.]

That's the only line of the song I actually know. (Except 'ooo oo oo-oo oooo')

[solar_flare]

Ruby?

[Yang blinks in surprise, lifting her head out of her hand.]

What are you doing here? Don't tell me you woke up in one of those weird pods too!

[She doesn't seem all that distressed about it, though. In fact, she's grinning pretty widely because yay! Little sister!]

Same here XD

[onecream_fivesugar]

Yep, it's me!

[Se let's out a little sigh of relief, oh man was she happy to see her sister.]

You mean the creepy pods in the dark, cold, wet and creepy cave place? Because I woke up there a few days ago.

Are you still there? I can come get you!

[solar_flare]

I'm at some restaurant. I asked the waiter for a towel to help me dry off.

[And there he is to take it back now that she's done with it. Yang smiles sweetly, passing it back.]

I hope the weather isn't always so wet around here! But hey, if you've got an umbrella, come meet me for lunch! I'll treat.

[onecream_fivesugar]

This is probably the worst it's been since I got here. For the most part the weathers been alright.

Lunch? Sure! Where about is this restaurant and I'll be there in jiffy?

Then we can get you set up in my apartment or maybe I can ask if we can move into one with two bedrooms.

[Because you're totally moving in with your sister, right Yang?]

[solar_flare]

Jack's Bar and Karaoke Club.

[She holds up her map and points to the spot.]

Oh yeah? Where are you holed up?

[Yang totally doesn't mind moving in with her sister. Then they can have all of the late night chats. And pillow wars.]

[onecream_fivesugar]

Tupero or Tupelo something... It's a nice place, a friend helped me find it.

...I'm pretty sure Jaune's here but on another floor too.

[She'll smile and I to throw on her boots.]

Okay Jack's Bar and Karoke Club, I'll be there soon, see you then!

[And she'll hang up the phone.

...It might actually take her a little while to get there, she just might get a little lost on her way there. That and she didn't own an umbrella. So she got kid of soaked along the way until she picked one up. It's a nice red one with black wolves decorating it.

Eventually she will make it to the bar and poke her head in, looking around desperately for any signs of her sister. Despite the umbrella, she's still pretty wet.]

[Blake is not going outdoors on a day like this. Nope. No way. One a day with this much water falling out of the sky, she's holed up in the apartment she'd laid claim too and waiting out the weather sitting in her window.

And that's about when she finally decides to take another look at this communicator thing, and blinks in surprise at finding a familiar face.]

Yang?

[Video]

[solar_flare]

Blake.

[Yang's glad to see another familiar face, that's for sure. Is the whole team here? She's a little less subdued with her quiet friend than she is with Ruby, knowing that Blake isn't the happy chatty type.]

You look cozy. Settling in all right?

[descendsfromshadow]

As well as can be expected.

[She's fairly adaptable. Plus, checking out the reading material helped.]

When did you get here?

[solar_flare]

About an hour ago. Not long! Why? You been here longer? Ruby said she has her own apartment!

[She sighs.]

They grow up so fast.

[descendsfromshadow]

Only a day or two--

Ruby's here too?

[She really needs to spend more time on her phone.]

[solar_flare]

Yeah, we're meeting up for lunch. Why don't you join us? The more the merrier!

[Jaune is trying to get used to his new place, which is weird for him. He hadn't expected to live alone for a while.

He hadn't picked up actual groceries yet though, and had been living off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Hearing a broadcast on his little phone, he picked it up.]

Hey I know them. That's Yang! Ah~ My fellow blond has followed me even here~ [His swooning probably isn't serious. Maybe. Hopefully. In any case, he dials her.]

Yo! Yang!

[Video]

[solar_flare]

Jaune! This is a surprise.

[It's totally not a surprise, since Ruby already told her, but eh! She beams, folding her arms onto the table and leaning forward to grin into her communicator.]

How are you holding up? Been here long?

Re: [Video]

[short_n_sweet]

Oh I've been holding up just fiiiine, and no I got here the same day Ruby did - you do know Ruby's here, right?

[And then he dropped his sandwich.] Ah, jeez. :x uh... [Annnnd then he picked it up, studied it, blew on it, and then started eating again.] And what about you, my golden idol? Did you just get out of your pod?

[Video]

[solar_flare]

[Golden IDOL? ...Yang squints at him with half suffering, and half bemusement.]

Yeah, we had a little chit chat before you called. Looks like she and I are gonna be roomies!

...You're not seriously going to eat that after it fell on the floor, are you?

Re: [Video]

[short_n_sweet]

Huh? [Oh, right, she can see him. Still it takes him a moment to catch on before he simply hid the sandwich behind his back.] No! No, that's gross. Heh...

Well, she was going to be roomies with me but she told me that... [Wait a second, he was told they couldn't be roomies. Now he wanted to know why.] ... Well, she's better off with her sister anyway. [He smiles and laughs it off.]

[Video]

[solar_flare]

[Is it because a nerdy prudish wizard objected? Harry you are so old-fashioned.]

So...why are you still holding onto it?

[Yang tips her head back and to the side, gesturing vaguely. Well, whatever. If he wants to eat it, that's his business.]

Ohhhh, so you wanted to room with my little sister, hey?

[Griiiin.]

You sly dog.

[Sofia was going to investigate the Bay, but the sudden downpour ruined it for her. So taking a break underneath a roof of a flower shop, she waits until the rain stops. She could have just flown there with her suit, but she'd much rather keep her powers on the down-low for now.

She sees a blonde girl running in the distance, covering herself with the same box she got when she arrived here. Seeing as this teenager is in the same situation as her, Sofia thought of signaling the girl to take cover under the flower shop's roof.]

[Action]

[solar_flare]

[Yang sees the gesture. Well, why not? If the showers in this place are brief, there's no harm in waiting it out. If it doesn't let up, though, she'll keep moving.]

[Ducking underneath the veranda, Yang lowers her box and shakes out her head of wild golden hair before smiling at Sofia.]

Is it always this wet around here?

[trigram]

I wouldn't know, I just arrived in this world myself. Welcome, regardless.

[solar_flare]

Well, thanks! I guess.

[Still grinning, Yang takes this moment to look around her. None of this city looks even remotely familiar to her. The architecture is similar to what she'd find in Vale, but there's still something a little...different. Something she can't quite put her finger on.]

Sooooo...do you know of any good places to warm up, dry off, maybe get a bite to eat?

[trigram]

I know a place, yes. But it's quite the walk from here.

[Sofia contemplated on using her suit to fly there since it doesn't look like the rain is going to stop anytime soon anyway...]

[solar_flare]

[Ah well, that kinda figures. Too bad Yang didn't have her motorcycle.]

How far is 'far'?
