[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.]

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!]

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!

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.

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?]

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.]

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.]

[Jaune's here? OooooOOOOoooo. :3]

Is he now. That's lucky, isn't it?

[Grin grin tease grin. She lifts her hand to wave before the connection is cut.]

See you!

--

[When Ruby arrives, she'll notice that another menu has been added to the table. Yang hasn't bought anything to eat yet, but she's halfway through some sort of fruity drink, and there's an empty glass next to her elbow. She looks up, delighted to see her little sister, and pushes herself out of the booth.]

Ruby!

[She envelops the younger girl in a fierce hug, then steps back, brow inclined as she grins.]

Only you could bring an umbrella and still get wet. I'll order you a towel.

[That line about Jaune? That's pretty much when she decided that conversation was over.]

Ya-ngh!

[Ruby doesn't have a chance to react. She hears her sister call her name and before she knows it she's trapped in her sisters hug.]

Too tight! Too tight!

[Okay. Deep breath and another deep breath. She's good.]

I picked up on the way here so I wouldn't be more wet!

[She'll sigh.]

Thanks.

[Yang flags down the waiter again and picks up her menu.]

Did you know Blake's here too? She spotted my video. We'll see if she braves the rain to join us for lunch.

[She's not counting on it happening, but she hopes their teammate decides to pop up just the same.]

[And Ruby will ask for a towel when he shows up, not too long after she'll have one in hand and will use it to dry herself off.]

She is? I had no idea.

[She feels a little bad about that, maybe she should have tried looking for her.]

It is raining pretty hard out there, but I don't see why she wouldn't she?

[Give her a second.]

Oh! Right! Kitty-cat!

I know!

[She's all grins as she leans forward, violet eyes gleaming.]

She's so cute! I told her if she didn't feel up to it, we'd just get her some take out. I'm curious to see what her apartment is like.

Oh yeah, that'd be great! I haven't really seen any of the other apartment buildings yet, just the one I moved into.

[She may have spent the last few days in there trying to figure out what exactly she was supposed to do around here. Knowing that Yang and Blake were around took a huge weight off her shoulders.]

Well looks like we already have a full day ahead of us; lunch, go see Blake, show you our new place.

Edited 2013-11-28 03:49 (UTC)

Actually, Blake's coming here! We should see her soon.

[She wants to see the kitty ears again, but knows she probably won't since Blake has likely had her daily quota of Yang squeeing at her.]

We should still go check out her place, though. I can't wait to see what our apartment looks like!

She is? Great! Maybe I'll actually be able to decide on what I want to eat by the time she gets here.

[Kitty ears can wait for another day.]

We should, It'll be good to know where she is for surprise visits and stuff!

I- Haven't really done much with the apartment yet, just moved in really

[She's spent the last few days pacing, worrying about she's going to do, dreading getting a job and checking in on Jaune.]

Oh ho!

[Blake is far from dismayed at this information, because surely Ruby must know what this means.]

Sounds like it's time for the two of us to go shopping! We can get all kinds of cute stuff to put in there.

[And Ruby's eyes light up at the thought of going shopping with Yang.]

Ooooh, I can't wait! We might want to bring Jaune along for that too. I don't know if he's got anything for his place yet.

[And she felt kind of bad that she didn't bring him along to this either.]

I need to get more clothes too... Waking up in a creepy pod with only one outfit is kind of lame.

[Shopping...with a guy? Yang's smile turns strained.]

Eh heh...if you really want to. Most guys don't really appreciate the fine art of window shopping, though.

[This is a lesson Ruby is bound to learn in time: bringing a guy along to go shopping almost always ends up with the guy whining about how much time it's taking and can we go home now.]

Then again, it would be nice to have someone carry our stuff!

[So that's one benefit.]

Why don't we stop by one of the stores and pick up a few essentials after we eat? I'll at least need my own toothbrush.

R-right. Well I'll at least ask him.

[She's just trying to include him Yang. She found out she has you and Blake around. No one else from Jaune's team has shown up yet.]

An extra pair or arms is always good!

[I have a feeling Jaune may have just sneezed again.]

We can do that, we can pick stuff up for breakfast tomorrow too.

That's a good idea, just in case it rains tomorrow too.

[Yang takes out her pamphlet again to examine the wad of bills.]

I wonder if I have enough money to buy a motorcycle.

[If she does, she's going to need a job a lot sooner than anybody else.]

...Uhmmm... Maybe we should focus on the apartment stuff first? And get the motorcycle later?

[Wait is Ruby trying to be the responsible one here. Somethings not right.]

That doesn't mean we can't go look at some though.

Later?!

[Yang blinks at her sister as if the very suggestion is a strange alien baby. In a fruit bowl.]

But it's a lot easier to shop if you don't have to keep walking back and forth, isn't it?

Just a little later... Not a whole lot later.

[Ruby doesn't want to think about spending all of their money in one go. She wants to hide out and make it last as long as it can so she doesn't have to get a job. Who's going to keep her company if Yang spends all her money and has to get a job. Ruby will be alone in the house for hours every day! HOURS!

...Yang does bring up a good point though.]

Yeah, I guess you're right.

[Yang beams. It's been months since she's had access to Bumblebee, and though her sweet, sweet ride didn't come along with her, she's sure she can find something to serve as a decent substitute.]

Maybe I'll even teach you how to drive it. They aren't exactly strict here about having your ID or license.

[Which would be why she's got those fruity drinks.]
