[well, he's finally showing his face to them.]

All of you, don't think I haven't at least seen you around here and there. I just have been observing rather than being an active participant in any plans you've had.

[he... also had a lot of thinking to do, a lot of stuff that needed to be sorted out. mostly where he still stands now, even though his former partner is around in genessia.]

..But now we're all gathered, we have numbers to our advantage. The White Fang may not be here, but we are. I was wary in the past about what to do about.... certain individuals from our world, but that was before. We're not outnumbered now.

[does cinder still have several plans in motion? he's curious about that.]

Locked to Team RWBY, Nora Valkyrie, Sun Wukong, Neptune Vasilias, Professor Ozpin, Adam Taurus, Zuko, and Luke Triton

[Turning on her device, she looks anything but happy and it's taking everything in her power to not go straight out and hunt him down herself.]

Take care since our dear hated foe, Roman Torchwick, is here.

No doubt he has plans for here but there's still information from him I need to get and I will find a way to get it.

I don't believe there's a real police force here that we can just simply report him to without evidence to support.

Those of you not from our world, please take care. You especially, Luke. He's a dangerous man even without his words.

[Lethe Is sitting alone up in a tree, apparently trying to stay out of the major cities as much as possible. She clears her throat before finally posing her question to the community.]

How prevalent is Racism here in Genessia? In my home of Telius, wars were constantly fought over it and more, yet when one finds themselves in an entirely different world, one can't always expect things to be the very same.

As for any of the Beorc here, I seem to have said this once or twice already during my stay here, but usually when we Laguz refer to your species as human rather than Beorc, we mean it as an insult or racial slur. Many of the Beorc I have met here have actually been rather accepting of beings outside their own species, which is to be understandable when we've all been dragged from different realms of existence.

My point in talking about all this, is to try to gauge just how relevant all these 'offers' from those who wish to protect individuals that are... 'sub-human' not humans like me.

[The way she says sub-human is like the very words want to make her gag in disgust, as if the term were an even worse racial slur than any other she could possibly utter. With a few words of caution, Lethe thought better of including that bit of racial slur into her post, deciding that it would be better that such a word be left unspoken.]

[ It's impossible to tell what's going on at first - the video feed seems to be whirling about rapidly, the audio picking up nothing but the sound of rushing air. The motion stops briefly as a hand darts into view, only to begin the process anew - anyone sharp enough to figure it out will realize the person on the other end is literally tossing their video phone up into the air repeatedly, catching it just to toss it again. It's after about thirty seconds of this that it finally stops entirely, giving a view of nothing but a pair of boots... boots which seem to have some weapon-like attachments.

A long, melodramatic sigh... ]

Well! This is a pain, isn't it.

[ A brief flip of the videophone reveals Mercury's face, wearing a relatively unfazed smirk. ]

Don't waste your breath explaining what's going on - I've done my homework. I guess all I have to say is that you can call me Mercury, and... let's all get along, mmkay?

[ There's a widening of his smirk into a grin, and it's hard to tell whether he's being mocking or genuine in his greeting. ]

--Ah, and if I'm not mistaken, I think I even sort of know some of you. Lucky me! Us trainees gotta stick together.

[ Ever seen Weiss smiling this big for this long? No? Most people haven't.

But most people also haven't seen her with a little teacup maltese in her hands either. ]

Everyone, I want you to meet Frost. [ She's trying to keep calm but as she talks more, the less intelligible it seems.. ] He's going to be wiving with me forevew and evew and evew~ Yes he iiis~

[ She can't seem to even stop petting him long enough to turn the feed off, so enjoy nearly 30 seconds of this dog getting pampered to all hell by Weiss's fingers. ]

WHO: Adam Taurus, Blake Belladonna, Ejava Tepet, Laharl, Lucifer, Orihime Inoue, Sun Wukong, Weiss Schnee, Zuko
WHAT: A rescue is mounted to retrieve Orihime from the eeeeeeeevil clutches of TEH DEV0L!
WHEN: Sunday, September 14th - Early Morning (Super Backdated)
WHERE: Everglade - Lucifer's Magical Playhouse Mansion
WARNINGS: Anyone near Orihime at the finale will be exposed to hallucinations equivalent to waking nightmares. Watch out for that.
NOTES: Several of the players involved are pretty busy, so the tags will be slow.

The morning air was cool, though the forecast promised that temperatures would climb to the high 80's, if not higher. Everglade had the potential to be spooky, just...not today.

Orihime hadn't slept. She no longer seemed to need rest, which she assumed was due to how frequently her mind drifted off, usually for hours at a time. Sometimes the werewolf or her gracious host would pull her back. Sometimes they wouldn't.

She was lucid now, and the massive beast that had literally dogged her steps in the passing days was curled up on her bed. Orihime stood beside the window, hugging her arms as she stared out into the gray-skied gloom. There would be sunshine later, but she couldn't bring herself to be excited about it anymore. Her world had faded into monochrome, tainted by the inevitable reality that she would soon cease to be the person she was. It shamed her. Optimism and hope had abandoned her the moment she'd taken Adam's life, and she couldn't bear to face anyone else who knew her. It hurt less to pull away than to be rejected by the people she loved, seen as the monster she was fast becoming.

Her gaze fell to the floor, and she pulled away from the window. Little did she know that Lucifer was soon to receive a group of unexpected visitors, pointed in the direction of the mansion by a certain grouchy Espada...

[Video: Locked from Sun]
I've....only read about them but- as unorthodox as this may be given times of crisis are amidst, I'm afraid I have to ask. What exactly happens on dates? Is there- a dress code like our school dance?

It's odd to ask such a question but- I've never exactly been on one before so I want to make sure I do this date thing right.

[End Lock]

[Open Video]

Thus far my endeavors in the library haven't really given me much to go by. There are still many more books to shuffle through but at least I'm able to read them.

I met a young boy named Luke who is here alone. Weiss, Yang, I hope you don't mind that I offered him to stay with us should he ever feel scared or alone. I wouldn't be right to leave him on his own...

Sun, would it be alright if he stayed with you on some nights? Only when he'd want to with your permission, of course. I'd be very grateful for any answer you can provide.

There's still much more research to be done. [Giving a small sigh, she rubs her eyes but thankfully they're not as dark and red as when she was fully suffering from her insomnia of stress.]

Who: Blake Belladonna // OPEN
Where: The Library
When: Night of September 12th
Summary: Blake is still restless after being dropped off in a strange new world. Her only real solace are her friends but also books. Sleep deprived still, she tries to find any useful knowledge in the texts and pages.

[Upon arrival, not only did Blake realize her friends were somehow behind her in time but also that a ghost from her past was there. Possibly to haunt her or possibly to taunt her.The main killer was the people who already said she had been there before.

Tired as she may be, Blake certainly would of remembered that she would of been in a place like Genessia but sadly, she didn't. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise or perhaps a curse. It was far too early to tell just yet.

During the night, still unable to decently sleep, Blake left the comfort of the apartment Weiss and Yang were kind enough to put her in. It made the transition a little easier to have them with her especially after encountering Adam and this Lucifer fellow that Weiss warned her about. She had yet to see Sun, if he really WAS there, as well as Professor Ozpin.

That worried her... How such a high level Hunter was able to be just as clueless as them...

Quietly she left the building, hands full with the map of hers she was given and circled in red was her destination. The Library.

Making her way, though getting slightly lost, Blake peeked in through the doors before pushing them ad stepping inside. The familiar scent of pages was actually a great comfort as well but the only downside with comfort was it made her realize just how exhausted she was and how heavy her eyelids felt that were red with dark bags under her eyes.

Shaking her head in an attempt to wake up, she pushed through and stared down a line of books.]

Gotta stay awake. No time for getting sleepy just yet.

[it's been... a long while since this man last talked to everyone of this city. where has he been, what's he been doing....? well, there's a very simple explanation for that.]

What's the date today? Last I remember it was.... [he trailed off, trying to remember the last time he was awake and ...and alive.] ....July. Hm...

It seems as though I figured out what happens in this place after you've been killed. As morbid as that may be, but... yes, I definitely died, I know I did. You must give something up- even though I can't exactly recall what I gave up.

[he shook his head.]

Does anyone know where Orihime Inoue is? I need to speak with her. [she was the one who killed him, after all.]

WHO: Orihime Inoue
WHAT: Managing to find a psychiatrist, Orihime goes for her first and last session. The voice in her head is getting stronger.
WHEN: July 1, 2014 - Afternoon
WHERE: Attleton
NOTES: This will probably be a long log. If you want to skip to the end and read the part where your character can run into her on the street, feel free!

( No Girl, You Batshit Crazy! )

[well. adam has been here long enough that he's done with moping and trying desperately to get back. he doesn't think there really is a way, especially since he's heard some people have been here quite a while. it doesn't really matter though, he's able to visit vale thanks to that gate, anyway.

SO. time to talk about how he'll be self-employed.]

When I first arrived here, I met someone that gave me an idea. They told me they were a mercenary and perhaps I should look into being one as well. My work back home was.... along those lines, anyway.

That being said, if any of you are interested in someone fulfilling tasks that you don't want others to know publicly, I'm a very confidential person. As for my skills, believe me when I say I'm the best at what I do and I always get the job done.

My name? Adam Taurus.

WHO: Adam and ANYONE!
WHAT: His dream-self is just a little ten year old on the streets.
WHEN: May 8th
WHERE: Streets of Vale in the dream place.
WARNINGS: Hatred towards Faunus yupuyp

[he felt so impossibly scared and so alone in this world.

adam looked down at his shoes, his back against the wall of an alley-way while he tried to catch his breath. he had been running away from... something. he couldn't quite remember right now, all he knew was that he had to run. he still felt scared, his heart beating rapidly in his chest. it was raining, just lightly, but he could feel the light drizzle on his skin.

the young boy swallowed, wiping his face with his sleeve, and he pushed off of the wall. he needed to... to hide... yeah, that was what he needed.

the faunus made his way out of the alley, heading down the street and he looked around frantically for somewhere he could hide from everyone. he felt like he was moving so slow, however, like no matter how hard he tried to run he was just walking.

anyone that he runs into, he'll just try and run away from them.]

WHO: Adam Taurus and Orihime Inoue
WHAT: Orihime wants to see Vale so she can understand better the tensions between humans and Faunus. Adam accompanies her. She does not break into people's houses so she can stare at them and make observations.
WHEN: May 3, 2014
WHERE: Vale Archway - Fayren

( Show Me Everything and Tell Me How )

WHO: Fluttershy and You!
WHAT: She arrived just thirty minutes ago and things are all different and scary.
WHEN: 2nd May
WHERE: Around the bay

[Fluttershy kept very close to the sides, watching the whatever they were walk past, she even at some point tried to hide. She didn't like being stared at it was just too much. So for now she decided to stick to the walls and hopes that these things won't bother her too much and that she can eventually get back home to the safety of Ponyville and everything would be okay.]

Come on Fluttershy, you can do this... you can be brave.

[She inhaled deeply before she attempted to take a step away from the wall, but froze just as she was about to when another stranger walked past. Yep this might take a while for her to overcome it and actually move away from the wall.]

[Grimmjow’s device switches on and starts to record. It’s a low angle shot, but Grimmjow can be seen holding someone up by their throat. Grimmjow didn’t read the pamphlet or anything when he suddenly woke up here, mostly because he is pissed.

The person he’s holding is struggling to no avail.]

I’m going to ask you again. Where the fuck am I?! [The fact that his hand was cutting off the person oxygen and they were also pretty freakin’ scared right now was stopping them from giving him the answer that he wanted. Wherever the hell he was, he wounds were healed and he couldn’t get out of there with Descorrer.]

Are you going to- [Before he could finish what he was saying, the person he was holding had passed out from lack of air. Grimmjow threw them to the ground and made an audible annoyed grumble.]

Nnoitra..Ulquiorra..If I find out one of you assholes are behind this, I don’t care what your rank is, I will fucking rip you in half! [Nnoitra was already on his shit-list for stopping his fight with Kurosaki.]

WHO: Adam Taurus, Orihime Inoue
WHAT: Orihime's noticed her neighbor is being a frowny clowny, so she brings MORE DESSERT. Time to see if he'll actually talk to her about personal stuff yet.
WHEN: April 21, 2014
WHERE: Garden Park Apartments

( Gotta do the cookin' by the book! )

[ Out of all of the things Weiss expected to wake up to on that fine morning, this was not one of them. She definitely didn't appreciate having to trudge through water. And this walkie talkie looked like it belonged in a museum compared to what she was used to. It didn't take her long to figure it out, though naturally her response to this whole situation?

Well, Weiss was definitely the type of person to complain. ]

I still don't know exactly what's going on, but these pamphlets are in need of serious restructuring! If you're going to make a pamphlet, at least make it informative. These would never make it past Schnee Company standards.

[ Well, at least she's not harping on being confused about where she is. She is confused, but the little flyer that she grabbed after getting out of the freaky lightly-flooded cave already covered that asking wouldn't help much. ]
