[When the feed turns on, it's a close up of a girl with black hair, red highlights, and silver eyes examining the device very carefully.]

...This thing on? I think this is... anyway. Uh, hi, I'm Ruby. I just woke up... here. Genessia, I guess it's called. The hologram of Weiss told me everything I really needed to know but it's a little... much to take in.

[She's walking as she talks, the sound of water sloshing making it obvious that she was still in the bay. She takes a second to collect something from the pod she woke up in, apparently having discarded the box containing the money and necklace until the hologram said otherwise.]

So, I figure Weiss is here if there's a hologram of her... so who else is here? I hope we're not the only... ones...

[She trails off as she makes her way to the exit of The Bay, looking out over the city, the camera lowering as her eyes go wide with a combination of nervousness and excitement, temporarily forgetting she's broadcasting. As she does, a fuzzy black and white head pops out of the backpack she's wearing, sticking his head over her shoulder and woofing softly.]

Zwei... I don't think we're in Vale anymore...

Yang, Blake, and Sun are here too. I need to know exactly what the last thing you remember is, and that you know that you know you can't have your old room back because I already moved my things in.

[ She means hi, Ruby.

Aaand apparently so does Frost. There's some high-pitched barking coming from off screen in response to the soft woof and Ruby's voice. ]

[ruby_roses]

[Ruby is going to make a confused face as Zwei tries to get a better look at the device when he hears the barking.]

Uh... we just went to relax after the White Fang let Grimm into Vale. What do you mean old room? ...And did I hear a dog?

[Such confusion!]

[whiteas]

You remember everything I do then, except for.. well, here. If a few people recognize you, it's because you've been here before and you just don't remember it. [ It'll probably be awkward, but Ruby's handled much more awkward situations. Usually self-inflicted. Weiss thinks she'll be fine. ]

Shh, Frost.

[ The dog seems to quiet down fairly quickly- Weiss was pretty good at training him, barring interference. After he does, Weiss leans down and picks him up with a single hand and holds the tiny dog up to the screen. ]

This is Frost, my dog. He doesn't have an Aura, so Zwei better not play rough with him.

[ruby_roses]

[Ruby seems to brush the potential awkward situations off for the most part, focusing more on the tiny dog Weiss was now presenting. It was so cute and tiny, and was just prefect for Weiss. She had to keep from squealing into the camera.]

Don't worry, Zwei will be on his best behavior. Won't ya boy?

[Woof!]

[deadly_belladonna]

[Practically up on the roof at the mention of Zwei after she was checking her feed.]

Ruby. There's a handful of us here, actually.

Video

[ruby_roses]

[Zwei is just going to yap happily as Blake shows up on the screen. Even if you can't see it, he's waggling his booty, Blake!]

Yeah, Weiss mentioned as much. [She scratches her head and rubs her eye.] How long have you guys been here?

Video

[deadly_belladonna]

[Hiss.]

Ah, I've been here a bit over a year but apparently Sun has been here for almost two. There were others but they've seemed to have gone.

Video

[ruby_roses]

Wow that's... I just remember seeing everyone a few minutes ago. The important thing is that we're here now though I guess. We can figure out the details later.

[dives_through_rock]

... Cute dog!

[Sein blinks a bit.]

Er. Hi, by the way. Welcome to Genessia. Er. I guess you have local friends already?

Video

[ruby_roses]

[Ruby just blushes a little bit and grins at Zwei.]

Hear that? You're cute! [Zwei woofs in response.]

Apparently. The girl in the hologram is a friend of mine.

Re: Video

[dives_through_rock]

Oh, you mean Miss Schnee? She seems neat enough. It's definitely good that you have people to get started alongside. Much easier than... Uh, well, my entire situation. [Sein shudders as she sees the bit of the Bay wall that she was blasted into a few months ago in the video.] But I handled, and you'll be fine! I'm Sein.

Video

[ruby_roses]

Yeah, she's a friend of mine from back home. Feels weird to say that...

Nice to meet you, Sein. I'm Ruby.

From as soon as Yang saw the video, she was hopping onto her bike and blazing a trail straight for The Bay. Ruby would be able to see that large mass of hair as she tore down the street, the blonde coming to a stop so she could scoop up her little sister into a back-breaking hug.

"Ruby! You're here!" she shouted gleefully, though perhaps a tad muffled through her helmet before she pulled that off to reveal her face. "I missed seeing you so much baby sis."

[Action]

[ruby_roses]

"Yang!"

It was definitely a comforting sight to see that trail of gold speeding forward. Ruby dashes forward to meet Yang, only to have Zwei use her shoulder as a springboard to launch himself at Yang.

"It's been just a couple minutes for me, but I'm sure glad you're here anyway. This whole place is kinda making my head hurt."

Re: [Action]

[beauty_burns_gold]

Yang's ruffling Ruby's hair even as she reaches out to grab Zwei, tucking him in against her chest so she could stroke the dog. "Yup, it gets like that. It'll be easy enough to get used to it though, with Blake, Weiss, Sun and me here."

"We even have a house apparently, I've not been here as long as Weiss or Blake, and apparently been in and out several times, but hey, there's a house."

Video

[infinitejustice]

As in Weiss Schnee, right? I take it you come from the same place as she does?

Video

[ruby_roses]

Yeah, we're teammates in school back home. She's the W in team RWBY.

Re: Video

[infinitejustice]

[Ruby's "explanation" only serves to confuse Athrun. What did she mean by "teammates in school?" Were they part of some extracurricular sport? And since when was the letter "W" present in the word "Ruby?"]

Uh...I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to me. I don't know what you're trying to say.

[Action - Genessia City]

[kublan]

[Later that day of Ruby's arrival, Troy continues on with his reconnaissance of the city. He's still mulling things over about creating a subarchway to his homeworld. It was a hefty decision, so he's taking his time. He's still hoping other Spiral agents would come here to find a way out, but it looks like what Weiss said is true - there is no way out. This was a first for him in all of his multiversal travels, and it was bumming him out internally. Troy is heading back to the hotel he's currently staying in. He took the path next to the park where Ruby and Zwei are at, just for the heck of it really, and he doesn't want to garner attention for himself by jumping off roofs just to get back to his hotel quicker.

Troy turned his back towards the park and waited for the crosswalk light to change when a frisbee was headed his way, coming in at great speed towards his head. Without looking, Troy caught the frisbee in mid flight just as it reached his personal space. He turned afterwards to where the disk came from, and seeing Zwei coming towards his position. He didn't want a dog glomping at him, so he kneels down and gently extends his hand with the frisbee.]

Here ya go.

[Troy smiles as he looks at Zwei]

Well you're pretty fast for a pup with stubbly legs. What the hell does your owner feed you?

[Action - Genessia City]

[ruby_roses]

[As soon as Ruby saw the frisbee heading toward the street, she vanished in a flurry of rose petals, materializing behind Troy just as he turned around. Of course she was thankful he did, so he didn't see her awkwardly flailing for a frisbee that had already been caught.]

Just normal dog food. Dad says there's something in the water though considering how he, my sister, and I turned out.

[kublan]

[When Troy hears a voice, he darts his attention towards where it came from. His brows lifted and his jaw loosened slightly, turning his head to the direction where Zwei came from and back to where Ruby is now standing]

Huh, I can believe that... You're pretty fast. Not a lot of people can sneak up behind me like that.

[Troy scoffs with an impressed amusement in his tone and body language. He stands up to turn towards Ruby. He noticed the same necklace on her immediately, and showed his own that's wrapped around his wrist]

So how long have you been here for?

[Hikari can't help but smile at the cute little thing.]

That's a cute dog you have, miss.

[ruby_roses]

[Zwei yaps happily as yet another person comments on his appearance as Ruby reaches back to scratch him behind the ears.]

Thanks. I'm rather partial to him too.

[eighthchild]

I didn't know that animals could come with us here.

[Made her wonder why Tailmon wasn't with her if that happened to be the case.]

But then again there are a lot of things we do not know.

[monkeystowaway]

Took you long enough to get back. I can see you brought along some extra baggage this time, though.
