[Ruby is already making her way back to the Remnant House as she looks... kind of anxious. A lot of stuff has happened, and she's... not entirely sure how to process coming back here.]

Well... didn't expect to be back here. Doesn't... seem like a lot of time has passed here, which is... weird.

[She sighs and adjusts the backpack full of stuff she was carrying before speaking again.]

So... did I miss anything?

Super-summary is that any human caught out at night has no right to police defense from monsters. And one particular monster's leading the others to take thorough advantage. It's okay as long as you stay indoors or out of Everglade, so far at least?

[ruby_roses]

That actually sounds rather... normal to me. Going over there to help out might help keep me occupied.

[dives_through_rock]

,,, Right. Heroine thing. E-he... [Sein laughs a little uneasily.] It's perfectly safe during the day, at least. Unless you try to enter Castlevania.

[ruby_roses]

Not like I'll be sleeping for a while...

[She shakes her head a bit.]

Castlevania? Isn't that... a little on the nose?

[dives_through_rock]

Well, it is the territory of Lord Dracula. That's kind of an obvious name, so at that point, why bother with the subtlety?

[ruby_roses]

Eh, I've learned you can't really judge people by names. I mean, I've got a friend named Neptune that's terrified of water.

[dives_through_rock]

True. Earned titles tend to have more meaning, though. Like "Lord of Vampires". Definitely not a friendly indicator there.

[ruby_roses]

Huh, never met a vampire before.

[She shrugs.] It'll just be nice to have something to keep my mind off things.

[dives_through_rock]

Just as long as you're not suddenly brooding about 'the beauty of the pale moonlight' and avoiding the sun at all possible costs, I think we're okay? That was vampires, right?

[ruby_roses]

Heh... I've never been much of a nightowl. That was Yang's department. Dunno what about those clubs were so fun...

[Says the girl with absolutely zero rhythm. Still, it's nice to smile a little bit, considering everything.]

[dives_through_rock]

Well, clubs can definitely have their value for getting with people! Not that I got to go to them much before I showed up here...

[ruby_roses]

"Getting with people"? What?

[You'll have to pardon her. Even with all she's been through, she's managed to remain oblivious to dating and the like.]

[dives_through_rock]

You know, jus' hanging out and having fun!

[ruby_roses]

Oh! I uh... don't get to hang out much.

[dives_through_rock]

Oh. Er. That's cool, too.
