#( thr _ fame < infamy )

[besaea]

"damn, i wish i had time to do that too," she comments, sighing and she really does miss skating as often as she used to. next gen had sucked up all of her time and now that she's a trainee, she's not sure how many chances she'll get to board anymore. hopefully a bit more before the summer is over though, since she still has some free time on sundays.

as long as she doesn't hurt herself, she's technically still allowed to skateboard whenever she can.

she lets out a laugh when he pushes her shoulder, dramatically stumbling backwards as if he had really pushed her hard. "okay, okay, fine, let's take one right now then," saea teases, rolling her eyes playfully as if he had really twisted her arm for this. she reaches out to take his arm, tugging him closer so she can get them both in frame for the selfie. "also, you know, i guess it's survivor's guilt in a less intense way," she adds, trying to explain the weird feeling in her chest when it comes to how she had been chosen and a handful of her friends and favourite people had not. including stevie, of course.

she makes sure her board isn't rolling away or anything before she looks at the screen, grinning in a way that made her whisker dimples show up.

"on three okay?" she warns him, before she counts, trying her best not to move her mouth from the smile, and then also snaps about ten more pictures, the shutter sound going off a few times as she brings the phone closer and closer to their faces.

"god, these are terrible," she comments, her tone full of mirth as she looks through the blurry pictures she had taken.

fame < infamy

     “it’s my favourite picture of you,” she says solemnly, mock seriousness in her tone as she salutes at him. it’s a great thing to wake up to, considering the first thing she does in the morning is check her phone. maybe she’ll convince him to take a selfie with her to replace the picture—but at the same time, she doesn’t think anything could get better than this picture. one day she’ll use it in a powerpoint presentation or something, just to say that this is one of her best friends.

     the thought is an amusing one.

     his shriek pulls her out of any thoughts she has on a future powerpoint presentation of their friendhsip, not even sure when she would get to showcase that, and saea’s expression is fully alarmed as she reaches out to steady him, hands gripping at his shoulders in her panic. “oh my god,” she exclaims, expression going from worried to playfully annoyed in a second and she slaps his shoulder. “you almost gave me a heart attack.”

     she can understand though—it’s been a while for her too, but she hasn’t fallen yet. she sticks her tongue out at him playfully, “i was going to ask you to take a selfie with me for a new lockscreen but now i dunno if i want to.” she shakes her head, putting her foot on her skateboard and frowning slightly. “a bit,” she admits, knowing she could trust him with this. “i’ still kinda confused that i was chosen at all, ya know?”

stevie gives saea a long, incredulous stare, before barking out a laugh. “your favorite? when i have so many good ones…” he gives a heaving sigh, playful and dramatic, smile budding on the corner of his mouth. he’s not too torn up about it. as the sting of next gen fades away – it is pretty funny. he’s glad at the very least she can find humor in one of the most embarrassing and televised moments of his life. 

the scare of almost falling causes a rush of adrenaline to fuel through him. he gives a little laugh, sheepish at the sight of saea’s annoyance. “sorry– ouch!” he rubs at his shoulder, still shaking with amusement and adrenaline. “i wasn’t looking where my feet were going! dude, i’m still trying to regain my skating feet and not my dancing feet.” saea doesn’t need to know how many embarrassing crashes he had on his board the first week he was free from next gen. 

“huh? wait, what– you still can! what did i do?” he sputters out with a laugh, reaching out to gently shove a hand at her shoulder. as he steps back a bit (this time triple checking for his board– no more close calls!), going quiet when saea speaks up. his brows furrow, head tilting to the side. “what are you confused about?” stevie asks, scratching the side of his head. “you’re cool and fun! you’re nice! are you trying to fish for compliments?” he switches languages easily, lightly joking. “i mean– you did great all during it.” stevie hums in thought. he has no clue what makes companies decide who gets the contracts and who doesn’t– but saea had hit all the points they were having them focus on.

Reverse RWBY profiles:

Continued form the last post, here's RWBYJNPR:

RWBY

Ruby Rose: at ozpin's side, the Summer maiden's motives live off misplaced hope, and a desire not to die like her mother. during the fall, she lead the team tasked with infiltrating Beacon using Jaques's infomaion.

Weiss Schnee: a ruthless buisnesswoman who has taken the route of infamy if she cannot gain fame, after her father drove the Shnee family name into the ground, she cares only about one thing: bringing that name back into the mouthes of the people, as saviors or destroyers, whatever it may be

Blake Belladonna: the leader of a White-Fang splinter cell, she broke off the group as a means to achieve equality through violence, or at least that's what she said, really, it's a return to subjugation, only with the faunus (Rightfully) on top. during thr Fall, she sent her troops into Beacon, but went in stealthfully, refusing to fight up close, diverting only to fight adam, but seeing him missing an arm, decided he wasn't worth the trouble and would proably bleed out. after the fall, she murdered Gira to userp controll of the white fang, and after the coup failed, was killed in combat by Adam and Roman while trying to radio back to Ozpin.

Yang Xiao-Long: opperating out of a sense of duty, she started out protecting her sister, over time, she started to enjoy the power afforded to her by Ozpin and his Grimm. now? her sister remains a focal point of her life, but the power, the thrill, is why she remains with Ozpin.

Jaune Arc: after disgrasing the Arc Name, Jaune doesn't care about names, or titles, those are all jsut vehicles that the weak use to police the strong, and Jaune wants to be strong. wants it so badly, he'd join the King of the Grimm. joining Ruby in the infiltration of Beacon his worldview is slowly and painfuly being deconstructed by WTCHTRJH over 2-3 volumes. after the fall, he doesn't know where he belongs anymore, not even strong enough to hold his own beliefs in check.

Pyrrah Nikos, the Invincible Girl is the greatest huntress in the kingdom of Mistral, the thing nobody knows is that it's because she's a puppet for Ozpin, influence and fame, in return for a favour every now and then. it does help to have an eye on the inside of Salem's inner circle.

Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie are inseperable, the two know what't like to feel fear, and they know what it's like to be feared, and they choose to be feared every time. they never want to be the two little children cowering under a house ever again, so the rest of the world will have to be.
