[This device wasn't much different from the Scroll at the very least. It took her a while to get her barrings, but eventually, the red-head finally showed up on. Although.... she seems a bit discouraged. Or rather that's an understatement. As calm headed as she usually is, she couldn't help but be a bit concerned.]

Excuse me... I seem to be... in a predicament right now. I really need to get back home. Can anyone help me out?

There's... some important business that I need to attend to and if I'm not there... Let's just say things are going to get messy.

Thank you for your assistance.

[And with that, she does a polite nod of the head as if to say good bye and she's gone.

OOC: PYRRHA IS TAKEN FROM A VERY RECENT EPISODE, SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO KEEP FROM SAYING ANY SPOILERS.]

Oh yeah? What's the last thing you remember?

Well.. I.. was about to face Penny during the tournament.

[Could this talk actually be worse than the one before?? Ouch...]

Is that what you meant by messy?

[He's grabbed a handful of napkins now, and is busy folding them.]

Uhm... Not... quite..

[She can't tell him. He can't tell any of them. She made a promise to Ozpin and the others... And yet.. They weren't even in Remnent anymore.... Would it matter here? It's not like her fate or even the fate of Remnent would matter while they were stuck here.

But there was that fear sinking in again. She had to say it... Come on Pyrrha! And then after a second thought, she decided she couldn't do it. She knew that he was trying to help... She knew he meant well but this... If it continued, she might make the same mistake....

Standing up suddenly...]

I'm.. sorry. I'm... not all that hungry anymore.

[Which was a blatant lie, but she felt the need to run. Run as soon as she could. Hurrying for the door, she exited without waiting for his response. Hugging her arms, the cold wasn't what fazed her right now. She had no idea where she was going, but suddenly it didn't matter.]

Pyrrha, we're a team. You can tell me anything.

[So much for anything. Jaune's face falls, and he reaches out.]

Wait!

[But she's gone. He throws some bills on the table because he feels bad and runs after her, nearly crashing into the door in the process. He jogs after her.]

Pyrrha, hold on! Please...

[She told Ozpin and the others she could do it. She would do it. The truth was that... she was scared. Scared to lose who she was... Scared to disappear.... But even if she was scared, she knew that backing out was not an option. Not because she'd already given her word, but because she herself couldn't let herself do it.

Of course he had followed, but she didn't say anything. She was doing everything she could to keep from breaking down. To keep from accidentally harming him again. He meant so much to her... And hearing the others basically tell her that she was getting in her own way... This wasn't the time for it, but the thought of accidentally hurting him again was hard to deal with.]

[Now he was concerned, so he began walking to her when he caught up. He moved to put a hand on her shoulder.]

What's wrong?

[She nearly slapped his hand away from her shoulder, but then she worried that she might hurt him again. She refrained from reacting, just in case.]

I'm... sorry, Jaune.. [She was just.. afraid... and it was obvious now.]

You don't have to be sorry. I just...I'm sorry if I said something to make you sad.

It's... not you... You're just... trying to help. Just like you were before....

[What point is there to hide anything at this point and which not even having any influence on Remnent now... She was pretty transparent.]

I'm just... scared.

[Okay, that's good. It's not good that she's scared, but at least she isn't running from him.]

What are you scared of?

[Well... she tried that before and it didn't work out.]

I'm afraid.... of losing myself... I know I volunteered myself for the task that Professor Ozpin trusted upon me and that he wasn't pushing me to accept I just....

[Finally glancing to him, fear obviously taking place upon her expression.]

What if I lose me in the process?

[He frowns in concern, but he tries to sound reassuring.]

Why would you lose yourself? What kind of task is it?

There's... well... I'm not supposed to say anything but...

Professor Ozpin, Professor Goodwitch, Qrow, and General Ironwood... They asked me to succeed as the next Fall Maiden because times are dire... General Ironwood's fleet outside... It's not just for show.

[And then she paused for a moment..]

Have you ever heard the Story of the Seasons? [She's not so sure he has so, she'll just continue without much pause.] It's a fairy tale that's been passed down for generations about an old hermit that is visited by four sisters. Each one tried to convince the old man to leave his home. The first, Winter, encouraged him to meditate and reflect on all of the things in the world. The second one, Spring, brought him fruit and flowers and revitalized his garden. The third, Summer, was able to convince him to finally leave his home to embrace the world outside him. The last, Fall, encouraged him to be thankful for everything he had.

In return, the old man granted the four sisters great powers for their kindness and generosity to go forth as the embodiment of the four seasons to spread their gifts to the rest of Remnant.

Fall Maiden. [Was that some sort of mascot?]

[Yay! Storytime! Jaune listens, but he's grinning at the end.]

But Pyrrha, doesn't that mean they want to give you some cool powers you can use? I wonder what fall powers are like. Isn't that a good thing?

Edited 2016-01-16 01:32 (UTC)

That's..... not all though...

When a Maiden dies... her powers passes onto the next young woman in the family and if there are none, it will go to a random young woman instead.

The current Fall Maiden... She was attacked by a powerful group of people and... some how they managed to steal half of powers before they were stopped. The others believe that while the current Maiden is barely alive, if she dies, it should go to the other half of her powers and ... Well... as you can imagine, the person who stole the other part of her powers isn't someone that should have it.

They wanted to ask if I would become the next Fall Maiden and if I could help out Remnant... I will but... it's not without a cost...

Because you're afraid you'll stop being you? If that's the case, wouldn't all of these Maidens suddenly have someone else's personality? Why's it different for you?

Y-yeah...

It's different because.... all of the other maidens have died by natural causes.... Amber wasn't so lucky... They've never had to transfer the powers the same way as they would with Amber...

And whatever that means, you're afraid you'll stop being you because of it...

[His expression twists into one of concern. He's quiet, but when he finally starts talking he sounds confident.]

You're already the strongest person I know, Pyrrha. You could definitely stop any evil Fall Maiden if you wanted to. You don't need more powers to do that.

I don't think they're evil by any means, but... That's... not the problem.. The problem is... The Fall Maiden is very important. So important that could it could affect Beacon and Remnant itself. They need a Fall Maiden and... if this other person were to recieve the rest of her powers, things could get really ugly.

Maybe not evil, but I doubt the group of people who attacked her is exactly heroic and is doing this protect Remnant.

I mean...how can someone even manage to steal someone's powers? How would they plan to transfer them to you?

I... don't know what how they stole it in the first place. That was... something that wasn't explained.

But.... they planned to... transfer her powers using experimental Atlesian technology. The only way to transfer what was tied to her power.... Her aura.

[And now he can see why she's so hesitant.]

Desperate times, desperate measures and all that...
