[This is the face of Ruby when she is well and truly panicking. She takes one deep breath to settle her nerves before starting to speak. Yes, she took the breath after starting the recording, she's not thinking too much right now.]

I WOKE UP AND I DON'T HAVE MY SEMBLANCE AND I'M FLUFFY WHY AM I FLUFFY HOW MANY TAILS DO I EVEN HAVE SOMEONE TELL ME THIS IS WEIRD I SHOULDN'T BE FLUFFY

[... This may have been loud enough to wake up Penny. SORRY PENNY!]

WHY DO I HAVE TAILS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!? OR...

[Ruby pokes her head a bit. There are fox ears there right now. The video doesn't make her tails much visible, but they're black and red like her hair and there's at least two.]

WHAT'S GOING OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN-

[And the post cuts off]

[Action]

[Ruby's walking around Genessia, still spooked, occasionally experimenting with fire...]

Why do I have that one lady's power... Wait, but did she have fluffy tails?

[Who bothers Ruby in the middle of that weird observation?]

So! I had this random question I kinda have been thinking about asking some of us visitors from other realm type people for a little bit, and thought I'd ask. Sorry if this has already come up like a million times, but...

... Well, what are some of the legends on your world like? Like, mythology and heroes and stuff? I wish I could read about some of these things, but I probably can't, so I gotta ask you guys instead!

Also, uh, does anyone know how to, er, un-fry an electrical socket?

💪 A [Action] I am Confusion

---

[Thor did not wait around for Weiss to explain things, he was mostly just trying to get his bearings after waking up in the bay. He's already thumbing through his pile of... stuff he was given, tossing things he doesn't really want over his shoulder. He pauses at the key, tapping it into the air thoughtfully as he walks.

He's only a little frustrated to find himself here of all places after dealing with the Big Guy in the arena, but hey, he's alive and in one piece. He frowns, and swerves to the nearest person.] Excuse me, this is definitely not Earth, is it? [mostly settled on it NOT being earth, but hey, he might as well make doubly certain.]

💪 B [Video] E-mail

---

[At some point, someone either demonstrated, or he observed, how to use the phone he'd been given to make videos, so with both hands he holds the phone out at arms length, like he's trying to take a sefie. He's short haired, but lacks an eyepatch. A grin flashes onto his features.]

HELLO EVERYONE! I am Thor, son of Odin and God of Thunder. I have recently arrived to your... your... [he looks around here, city? City.] spectacular city. If you need help, you now have someone you can call on, because that's what heroes do.

[he's looking for the off button now, with a slight squint. ...Wait, one more thing.]

...Oh, anybody know if I can get electronic mail on this thing? [That would be useful, right? Maybe he can shoot some emails off. Okay he probably won't. He'll forget about this phone in a day or two. Don't... don't expect much out of him here.]

GIR!

[Oh what the fresh hell is this.

Zim's certainly a sight here, a panicky, vaguely smokey sight, judging from the shadows and background, he's perched on top of the pod he woke up in.]

GIR, I can't reach you through the communicator link, you better be on this frequency, GIR, LISTEN TO ME.

[That's right. He's assumed that this is a private conversation. Here we go-]

I'm surrounded by water and if you do not get here right now, GIR, RIGHT NOW, I'm going to burn to death, are you listening? I need you at my coordinates right now, GIR!

I'm at-

[A pause, because he... doesn't... know where the hell he is, or what his coordinates are, or probably what day it is. There's some aggravated grunting]

Look just... just figure it out! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, AND DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU! If I fall in the water and die, you can't have any more waffles ever again! ... EVER.

EVER, GET OVER HERE!

[Have a wave from her end of the feed!] Salutations, everybody! I hope you are all having a great day. I know I am!

[She looks to the left and to the right; her surroundings indicate she's in her apartment. Then, she leans closer to the feed and drops her voice to nearly a whisper.] So, don't tell Ruby, but you know how the prom's coming up in a few days? Well... I actually have a problem.

[She looks a little embarrassed.] I... don't actually know what people normally wear at a prom. The only time I've ever had formal wear on, it was picked out for me by Father, and it was just a normal dance, I think. [She also didn't actually get to dance with anyone but the bodyguards she had.]

So, um... does anyone know who can make dresses? Or know where I might be able to purchase one? If there's a special requirement for prom dresses, I'd like to know that too, please.

And... [She looks around once more.] I actually found out Ruby doesn't have one either, so I'd like advice on getting one for her as well. I guess it can be a surprise or something.

[And yet, she completely fails to lock this post from Ruby!]

Well, that's all for now. Farewell, fellow people! [She does a small salute before the feed ends.]

WHO: Sync, Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long
WHAT: The trio takes down Celery, one of the health nut psychos. But with their combined abilities, taking down their bounty happened way too fast, and Yang isn't ready to call it a day. So she suggests they go somewhere fun to celebrate.
WHEN: Backdated - Before the Egg Events
WHERE: Nova City

( Seriously, it's not like these guys have any special powers or abilities, they're just healthy. )

I.. think I'm ready to go home now, Father.

[ This phone says he's here and it's in alphabetical order so that's who she found first and she doesn't actually actively dislike her father at this age. Little Weiss doesn't bother locking her phone since she figures if her father doesn't see the post, someone will tell him. Someone always tells him, so it's fine. ]

I'll happily go with Winter or Klein, too... but I'm not telling anyone where I am until one of them responds, so I suggest someone alert one of them that I'm lost! [ But she's not doing video because jfc kidnappers, man. She doesn't want to get kidnapped and she doesn't know if the White Fang is here and they're basically the subject of her nightmares, thanks. A liiiittle pause. ] If you've seen Whitley you should give him to me, too! He's a baby so he's not going to help find me, but if he's lost too he can stay with me.

[ And Mother is uh... she's not even going to ask. :') But the other three are all acceptable. Her voice definitely sounds younger than before, though certainly no less... voluminous. What? She's always had one heck of a pair of lungs on her. ]

[video]

[There's a girl with real cat ears on this screen. Her black shirt should be enough to give some estimate of her time back home for those, who know her back there and she ... really would just love to flip this video away or at least make it voice instead of a video, but she's also had enough of hiding and she doesn't want to worry any friends from home. Especially not her teammates. ...And she takes a while to say anything, she still has absolutely no idea of what to even say here!]

Blake Belladonna, never been here before myself but Ren filled me in on a lot already, so I guess some of you might know me even though I don't remember anything about this place...

[There. Baby steps to using this device and at least something for people to know, that she's here too.]


[action]

[And if anyone comes looking for her or just happens to be around, Blake is still near the bay and reading all the things that there are for new arrivals. While she seems to be focusing on them 100% as if nothing could take her attention away from whatever she's reading, she's carefully listening to anything happening around her.]

[ video ]

We've really got to stop meeting like this, Genessia.

[ The words coming from the woman are sultry, but she's smirking out of amusement nonetheless. Her long purple hair was neatly done and her dress fit her every curve. And yet, it doesn't seem like she has a jacket or anything to wear on top of it -- not that she needs it. If one notices well enough, they can catch the sight of her fangs when she talks. ]

I'll take it as a long shot, but does anyone remember me? I don't figure anyone does, but it never hurts to try.

[ action ]

[ Just like before, she'll stroll the streets without much of a care in the world. She wasn't really enjoying being on the surface again since she was so close to finding the piece of filth who cursed her. But for now, she'll be patient as much as she can be while in this place. Although, the bloodthirst can be quite maddening, especially if it's nipping at her heels.

Her journey takes her to Everglade where she just stares at the city itself. Maybe she should get a drink. One can find her at Holy Diver, still wearing that dress of hers.

If one tends to notice her, she'll glance back over to them, smirking a bit. ]

You know, it's quite rude to stare at a lady.

Well, this is an interesting sort of mess, isn't it?

[That was definitely a young woman in armor that had some yellow to it, some weapon barely in view as it was hung near a hip. Shield still on her other arm, all as if she'd been in the middle of some battle- or perhaps it was something not quite so dire.

Sometimes practice while armored up was one of the better ways to train when there was meant t be a challenge to it.

Either way, she only sounded a little annoyed by it. Could be worse, but she still had someone that she needed to look after- had made a promise to herself. She'd paid attention to what information was provided, after getting out of that cave and all. It was nice to see plenty of proof of people pulling together to make the best out of a situation.]

Still, hello! I'm Brigitte.

Quite a few of my things aren't with me, but that isn't enough to stop me from offering my help while here. I'm a mechanical engineer and squire, and once settled you can bet I'll be looking for ways to put those skills to use.

[Chiaki had felt like she hadn't really been doing an awful lot. Playing video games was fun and all, but she wondered if maybe she could translate that skill into something else, just to try something different and see if perhaps she could do something more.]

This might seem strange but... Can being good at video games translate into something else? [She paused for a moment before going to explain a bit more.] I mean back home I was enrolled in a school because of my talent with video games and I use to think that it wasn't exactly useful in making friends. I was wrong there it can help, but I am just wondering if it can help with other things.

[She is still on the subject of video games regardless even if not the exact same thing.]

Couple more things really? One would anyone be interested in a video game tournament? I'm thinking of running one and thinking of prizes and such for it. It won't be for a while, but I thought it would be fun if people were interested.

[A pause again.]

Lastly, with the Pokemon having come and gone again, I've been thinking about maybe quitting one of the jobs I have currently and instead opening a Pokemon gym in Genessia or something? Would people even be interested in that though? Since I know a lot of people don't like the thought of fighting them.

[The sound of a sigh could be heard.] Maybe it might not be the best idea.

[Video]

Okay, so! Uh. Hi, people! I'm Ruby Rose, and, uh. I'm here now?

... I. Had a point I was going to here, but... Uh...

Weiss? Is anyone else here?

[The video shuts off, as if she accidentally hit the 'end' button.]

[Action]



[In front of the hologram of Weiss, there is a girl with mostly black hair, and a black-and-red outfit, and she's panicking a bit.]

Ack, was that the end call button?! Cancel! Undo! Something!

[And she starts trying to work through the menus very quickly.

Depending on when you arrive, it might have been a little bit. And she probably hasn't succeeded yet. Perhaps bothering her to focus on other concerns might be a good idea?]

( Introspection )

[Video]

[It had been laundry day. Jaune's wearing a different outfit today. He's also blatantly wearing a red and gold bracelet on his right wrist. He knew what it would look like to other people who knew him well enough, and those are the people he's seeking to manipulate. The risks of getting caught basically stealing it are outweighed by the advantage of making his point. He might not outright physically harm his friends, but he'll do whatever he thinks is necessary to hurt the people who hurt the--him.]

Hey, it's the incompetent idiot again here to talk to you about something way more interesting and lucrative than free totes. It's always felt like that being normal is actually more unusual than being super-powered here. I'm not normal, but I'm also not capable of destroying entire cities and I won't pretend that I am.

I don't know if half of what everyone here claims is actually true, and you do have those abilities, or if you're just full of shit.

Actually, I think it might be the second option. [Shrug.] That's not my point. I need to find someone. I'm sure most of you know her, Emerald Sustrai. She's very good with words and manipulating other people. Good people, like a lot of you are. I wish that's where the threat ended, but she aided in murdering someone very important to me. I won't lie and say I won't hurt her when I find her. Think about what you would do if it happened to you, or someone you loved, except it really happened to me. She is going to burn for what she did. But I need your help.

If anyone has any information about where I can find her, I'll pay you 200 red bills upfront. But wait-- [Smirking.] If your information turns out to be useful, and you're not just lying because you're another greedy corrupted fuck, I'll reward you with 5000 red bills for your efforts. [Where would he get that much money? Nowhere legal.]

So yeah, help me find her and stuff and I won't have to cause property damage to do the right thing. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. [He really doesn't sound like he's hoping it doesn't come to that.]

[Action (Monsters and--)]

[After that announcement, Jaune will seeking out his friends and family, visiting the places he most frequently sees them. Occasionally, he might see someone committing a crime. Instead of arresting them and waiting for the cops, he starts to beating them up, until he gets tired of it or they stop putting up a fight and he continues looking for a select few people. Hopefully no one saw that. He might accidentally run into a stranger or acquaintance, stopping in shock and frowning apologetically. He's good at pretending to care, because he remembers being able to care about strangers.]

Sorry, are you okay? [And he'll extend his hand to help them up, offering a sheepish smile.]

[Action (Heroes)]

[Overall, Jaune considers himself pretty adaptable. He's better at reacting than planning, and he doesn't let himself get stuck in a single mindset. But right now he feels stuck, and he can't pinpoint why. He just wants nothing more than to be around his friends. Looking pensive, his better half heads for Remnant House, as well as Dave and Jeff's apartment. If he sees someone else he knows on his way, he'll probably stop to talk to them.]

A. VIDEO; OTA
[ Wherever Weiss is right now, it isn't her usual home or her office. It's not the Skyrise or one of Schnee Company's builings. It's clearly some kind of balcony with a panoramic view of Nova City behind it. She seems like she's a little irritated at something and she's wearing something somewhat more formal than her normal attire, though her hair is still in its normal style. She gives a distinctive, impatient look to someone off-screen of 'well? hop to it' before focusing her attention on the video. ]

Hello everyone. As of today, I'm announcing Mercury Black as Nova City's new deputy. Those of you who have a problem with this can deal with it because frankly, I've done a good job so far and I'm tired of being questioned every single time I do anything when so far it's turned out substantially better than anyone seems to expect of me.

You'll also notice that I've opened a new branch of Schnee Company in Attleton. It's time to stop resting on our laurels.

[ Honestly, nothing seems too off except that Weiss seems to be in a less than ideal mood. She looks off the camera again, a man's voice saying "All you have to do is sign here, Guardian Schnee, and it's yours." ]

It's about time. [ The video clicks off as she mutters that last part, moving away from the balcony. ]

B. TEXT; PRIVATE (to whitley, winter, and sun)
It's about time we go back to living the way we deserve to. If you're willing to offer something up to prove you're not planning on being a leech, I'd be happy to have you.

[ And included is an address in Nova City to her new home. ]

C. ACTION; OTA
[ Well this was... unfortunate. Weiss had just barely woken up and saw what she had thought was herself slamming the door on the way out of the brand new Attleton location. She had no idea what was going on and frankly this wasn't how she wanted to start the day after the ribbon cutting ceremony. She's must've hit her head on something, that would explain how she could possibly see herself walking out of here too.. Uhg. Weiss sighed and went into her pouch to grab some aspirin only to find all of the Dust was gone out of it. Her next thought went to Myrtenaster- also gone.

...Did she get mugged by someone wearing a wig? As far as disguises go, herself against herself had to be the weirdest and most effective. What was she going to do, report herself to Blaze for mugging herself? As importantly, where did her jacket and petticoat go? Did the thief take those too? (What kind of Guardian actually had to deal with this kind of problem?) Even if she wanted to report it, her device was gone. Great.

Weiss frowned at her reflection in the window, then headed to Genessia City to grab one of her old outfits from the old house. It was closer than Nova so she wouldn't have to keep wandering around in the show without frills or a jacket, at least. There's not much left there since she brought most things with her, but her dress from her first Christmas party was and it was clean, so Weiss is going around looking extra snowy as she walks her way back to Nova City. The thief appears to have taken her car too. Feel free to encounter her anywhere on the walk back to Nova, looking rather concerned in general. ]

[Qubine was...irritated, to say the least when he woke up in an unfamiliar place. The last thing he remembers before waking up was taking a hit from a Shadow-based spell thrown by Erebus...one that was meant for Shayla. Qubine also remembers tightly holding Shayla as they fell from the sky, keeping her safe from harm. Then they fell into the water...and then everything went black.]

[Qubine listened to the hologram message when he came across it out of curiosity. Some parts made him snarl a bit. Other parts made him scoff. But when it was finished, one thing was clear. He was no longer in Sornieth.]

[He glances curiously at the device given to him, remembering the instructions on how to operate it. He presses a few buttons, but isn't sure whether it's broadcasting or not. So, Genessia, have a giant four-eyed masked dragon staring curiously at the video screen, tilting his head.]

All right...I've gathered all the information available in this cave where I woke up. I just have one very important question...

[He gives an icy glare.]

...Where is Shayla?


[Action - All cities]

[Well, if Qubine is going to be trapped in this new world, he might as well explore it and see what kinds of dangers were out there. Sure, the "Weiss Schnee" creature claimed that this world was relatively safe, but...safe for whom? The trouble is, the hit that Qubine took from Erebus did a number on him. He had steeled himself for the long walk from Dragonhome to the Windswept Plateau. But here...he needs to explore as quickly as possible, and the only way to do that is to fly. So with a deep breath, Qubine spreads his wings and wakes up, breathing heavily as he gained altitude.]

[He'd begin by flying around the outskirts of the city before exploring the inner parts of it, and then cautiously flying over the populated areas. That's when the pain and exhaustion begin to get the better of him, and he's forced to land. So hang on tight as the large warrior dragon suddenly lands in the streets with a loud thud, cracking the ground beneath him. At least he's mindful not to land on/crush any buildings. If there's one thing he respects, it's the hard work that goes into the structures, be they natural or man-made. At first Qubine seems oblivious to his surroundings as he gasps to catch his breath, with a light groan of pain here and there. And then he'll begin to glance around warily at the little people (or critters, in Everglade's case) that might be trying to flee from him...]

I'm not sure where this or how I got here but I know it's not Coruscant...Leia? Kids? Luke? Anyone?

I got a bad feeling about this...

[Video/Action, Everglade]

[She travels a bit of here and there, introducing herself to meet and greet new people, and that's how she learn quickly to get around the cities and get to know the world better. She got a job quickly enough, and hopefully that will make a sizeable savings in her bank in due given time.

She's in the town square, working as an Everglade Ranger and as part time escort for Namur's Jolly Eddy's.]

"Soooo, this is Everglade. Kinda spooky for a city with all of this fog. Anyway, hello! This is Ruby. I heard this town need some help, so I decide to work as an Everglade Ranger and for Jolly Eddy's."

[And she did make some first successes as a bounty hunter!]

"So far, my job is to protect the civilians and keep everything under control. I hope that will help. What do you think?"

Hey everyone, is there anyone out there looking for a sparing partner? I have Tokunaga here that I fight with and I feel like I've been getting rusty with him.

[With the video feed you'll see a Cheshire-like cat waving a paw at everyone before she waves cheerfully as well.]

Even if you're not looking for a partner, I wouldn't mind making some connections either~



[Private//Sync]

Hey Sync I know you've been kinda busy lately but would you help me learn a little hand to hand? While Tokunaga is helpful, what if I get into a situation of close combat without him by my side? That's if you're up to it of course.

[ There's a young man settling himself down in front of the camera as the feed begins - those who have been there might recognize the location as a room inside the house where a majority of the former inhabitants of Remnant are staying. His posture is upright, hands folded neatly in his lap as he crosses one leg over the other. ]

Good afternoon! I hope this day finds you all well. My name is Whitley Schnee - and yes, for those who have made the connection, Weiss is my dear older sister. I've only just arrived a short while ago, but should anyone need assistance or advice with their finances I'll be happy to lend my aid. I see there's quite a bustling economy in this world, and I've had some experience in the realm of business dealings. As for what I need...

[ A pause, as he laughs with a little smile. ]

The name and address of a good tailor would be sensational. I'm afraid my wardrobe didn't make the journey with me.
