#rwby floral fun

[rwac96]

(ask, original stud werewolf) she won't tell them his identity, but would harriet describe to aces ops how her experience with the werewolf was?

(Part I / Part II)

Harriet: "--and he spread me wide with his knot, tying us together--."

Marrow: *disgusted* "Stop! Stop! Please stop talking about it!"

Elm: "And you talked trash about me and Vine's lovemaking."

Vine: *clears his throat* "Um, Elm, not around company, please."

Clover: *grimaced* "Oookaaay, TMI, Harriet."

Winter: *deadpan* "Let's all agree we keep this...disgusting development...between us."

It seemed like these two had a thing going, not gonna lie.

Fun in the sun

Setting: Team RWBY were in the dressing room at a beach for a day of fun in the sun, Ruby was inspecting herself in her new bikini, red with a floral pattern with a concerned look on her face. Weiss: What's wrong? You liked it when you bought it. Ruby: I know it's just... Yang: Are you worried it's too much? You know the golden rule, if you wouldn't wear it in front of dad don't wear it at all. Ruby: No no! It's not that! It's just... Weiss: Are you worried about guys? Just say the word and any creep who bothers you gets tossed to sea. Ruby: I can handle myself it's just... Blake: *suddenly smiling* You're worried about what Oscar will say? Ruby: *immediately blushes* Yang: HA! Come on Ruby, he'll love it! Meanwhile: Team JNPR have set up a volleyball net and had begun to play when team RWBY came out.

Oscar: Hey Ruby? We could always use another plaaaaa....... *he sees Ruby in her swimsuit and all thought leaves his mind* Nora: Heads up! Oscar: ahhhhh..... *the ball bounces off his head as he stands motionless* Yang: See! He loves it! Ruby: Shut. Up.

I wrote a little something for a ship I love and don’t do nearly enough for! Floral fun!

[windwardrose]

We have a convention on the horizon (Sakura Con), strange as it seems at last. So... cosplay planning time. excitements! confusions! It's been such ages since I thought about doing a full make, I've half forgotten the way of it.

- current gear - Edward Elric jacket set and glove, a classic for a reason; some RWBY stuff that probably doesn't fit me now because it was from my thin-and-scared phase

- Fire Emblem friends - Professor, Bernadetta, Ashe? I can't see my way clear for Professor's costume, I'm sorry. I suppose I could just do m!Byleth's costume but with long hair, and confuse everybody. (Floral tights: good. Miniskirt: serious eh. Crop top: ye olde nope.) I mean I could probably make a pretty Ferdinand with my current hair but I don't think, bless him, that I'd want to. Or maybe Annette.

- Fate folk! Saber, of course, or Ilya maybe. I mean, the joy is obvious. Downsides include blinkin' difficulty level, fabric impossibilities or else redesigns. What work, what wonder... what putting up with wigs, if I felt up to it.

- School Live! girls - but which one of them? Or Megu-nee. (Emotionally, Imagine The Toll.) Not hard to sew, though. Props for practicality. Practicality is important. But I'm not sure it's possible to feel festive under such costumery circumstances.

- One of my Haibane Renmei! I mean, I always did want to have wings. Who's to say no. Simple (except for the wings) and sweet.

- I love the PMMM costumes but I'd feel quite wrong as any of the girls. Except maybe Madoka herself. Unclear.

- I mean, I loved Akudama Drive, but see notes on School Live! concept. We're trying to have fun here after all, not be nose-deep in Feels.

(We do want feels. We just want... non-catastrophic Feels, let's be clear on this.)

- I refuse to participate in Yona of the Dawn cosplay without at the least three buddies. Also I would have to wear a lot of pink as Yona. I legit might draw the line at wearing that much pink. I think going solo I'd almost want to do Yun, but even so.

--

Well. We'll ponder, and results to follow.

RWBY: What happens at prom?

Obviously, Bumbleby, Renora, and Arkos go as the established couples of the group.  Weiss manages to get Blake’s friend Illia (her secret crush) to be her date by promposing to her a week before prom.  At the last minute, Blake’s eccentric neighbor and best-friend-since-elementary-school Sun Wukong and his boyfriend Neptune join the group due to reservation mix ups.  Oscar was too chicken to actually ask Ruby to be his date, but as the two lone single people in their giant prom group, they’re forced to unofficially pair up.

The group shows up to the Xiao-Long house for photos.  The guys all show up in tuxes- except for Sun who wears a tuxedo t-shirt.  Oscar, Ren, and Jaune all wear black tuxes, but Neptune decided to go a little retro with a light blue tux.  Nora makes Ren wear a pink bow tie.  The girls are fashion forward.  Illia, under advisement from the school-fashion guru Coco Adel, shows up in a navy blue blazer and matching pants embroidered with many different-colored flowers.  Weiss wears a white hi-low gown with a floral belt (to match Illia).  Yang wears a sleeveless purple fit-and-flare gown (Blake’s favorite color), and Blake wears a pastel yellow lace gown that Yang thinks is beautiful.  Nora wears a pink body-con dress with aqua jewelry.  Phyrra takes a daring risk and wears a gold-sequined pantsuit.  Ruby -last but not least- wears a black and white rose-covered dressed that once belonged to her mother (Oscar thinks she looks beautiful in it).

The group goes out to an Italian restaurant for dinner, and arrive to prom fashionably late.  There, Coco Adel (dressed in an awesome leather-lace dress) is announced as prom queen while Ren is voted prom king (under a campaign completely run by Nora).  The established couples generally hang out at prom together.  Blake and Yang spend a lot of time on the dance floor together.  Pyhrra and Jaune spend some fun time as wallflowers. Nora drags Ren around the party, and Sun and Neptune help hype up the crowd.  That night, Weiss and Illia share their first kiss after Weiss wins the party poker game.  Oscar finally musters the courage (after Sun gives him a pep talk) to ask Ruby to dance.  They spend the rest of the night together.

Yang and Ruby don’t get home until 4:00 in the morning, and Zwei greets them at the door with a crap ton of doggy kisses.  As she falls asleep, Ruby realizes over the course of the night she might like Oscar...

Yang is not surprised the next day when Ruby confides this fact in her.

Get to know the blogger

1. FIRST NAME:

I go primarily by Chibi but I can also be called Sticks or twiggy.

2. STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF:

I tend to be a bit literal minded when it comes to innuendos so they tend to fly over my head if I don’t quite get the comparison, or if something seems impractical to me.

3. TOP THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON:

Hm...well I guess kind eyes, long hair and facial hair is super attractive to me..

4. A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF:

Beef or shrimp. That shit is delicious….but as specific dishes...hm...broccoli beef, beef chow fun, shrimp har gao, and katsusando.

5. A FOOD YOU HATE:

uuugh...peanut butter and bell peppers, I can’t eat most nut stuff as I found out it causes me indigestion… There isn’t much food I will legit refuse to eat as most things I will if I have to, Whether it be out of hunger or wanting to be polite.

6. GUILTY PLEASURE:

I love going all riff trax whenever I watch something terrible mostly because sometimes a bad movie is better than a boring one. (And for some movies it’s literally the only way I can even get through them.)

7. WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN:

eeeeh really it depends on how cold it is, *laughs* but I prefer sleep shirts or flannel pajamas.

8. SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS: Flings to me are just tacky, I don’t see the point in dating someone you aren’t serious about and it’s no different than using someone like a toy.

9. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE:

If I had known how supportive my parents would have been during middle school when I was going through constant bullying and sexual harassment...I would’ve told them and let them take me out of there.

10. ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON:

Depends on if I like you. Then yes. But usually through jokes, and sometimes hugs if you need it.

11. A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN:

Hmm...The dark crystal, and a couple disney movies. I have a lot of those that I do that.

12. FAVORITE BOOK:

to me a good story is one you can read at any age and enjoy. So for me one of my favorites (excluding Manga.) would be anything by Neil Gaiman or Rick Riordan.

I also really like the Prydain Chronicles.

13. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE:

All of them?

14. TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS:

I’ll be honest I’m not really much of a shipper as I tend to prefer close friendships as it feels more meaningful to me most of the time….but I guess my favorite ships would be ShinjiFemc, AkiFemc, Junpei Fuuka, YukaMitsu, and alright Adrienette.

15. PIE OR CAKE: Cake.

16. FAVORITE SCENT:

Sweet or Floral scents. For sweet the smell of vanilla cupcakes. For floral the scent of roses.

17. CELEBRITY CRUSH:

Um….I don’t really have one.

18. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO:

Well I could be boring and say my real world locations which are Japan, Germany, Italy, France, England, Nicaragua, Israel, Hawaii, and Greece.

But if I am honest I just want to go to the pokemon regions. XD

19. INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT:

Introvert.

20. DO YOU SCARE EASILY:

I would like to think not, but my hypervigilance makes me look for danger. Horror stories don’t scare me if its purely fantastical, but stuff that could happen IRL scares me way more.

. for example welcome to the game which is a horror game based around the deep web, that game freaking terrifies me

21. IPHONE OR ANDROID:

I use an Iphone, but there are things I prefer android for.

22. DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES:

Mainly Pokemon, Persona, and Kirby.

23.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS: I’d probably just make sure my family would be taken care of. Set aside a sum that I could use to start my indie gaming projects, and the rest I would give away.

24. FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE: OOOOOOH boy...I absolutely loathe Chie, Yukiko, and Anne from persona…and Lila Rossi from Miraculous.

The first three because it grates on me to no end how much abuse they put a character they say is their friend through. It also annoys me how much people are willing to excuse what they do because of their sex and that genuinely infuriates me. Abuse is abuse regardless of a persons gender or sex. If it’s not okay for guys to do something like that to someone it should not be okay for girls to do the same.

And Lila because she is an utterly irredeemable toxic liar. Good Lord I can’t wait till this little brat gets what she deserves. Seriously a person who lies about having a disability so she can schmooze a boy is the absolute worst kind of human being in my book.

25. FANDOM THAT YOU WERE ONCE A PART OF BUT AREN’T ANY LONGER:

Hetalia, Black Butler and RWBY.

The latter being so bad in my opinion but I’ve straight up blacklisted it. All these are due to particular incidents that made me super disgusted with the fans and no longer even wanting to be associated with it. Not exaggerating when I say this is one of the few times where a bad fandom honestly destroyed my enjoyment of a series.

Lawful Good (superAU)

Fandom: RWBY Paring: Ladybug (Ruby/Blake) Words: 3085 Description: Ruby Rose is a superhero in the City of Vale, and recent student to Beacon University. Only problem is, her sister’s roommate is also the girl that Ruby is always having to rescue. Hopefully she can keep that part a secret from the overly investigative law student. 

You can blame @relatablepicsofblakebelladonna for the AU. I’m a sucker for Superhero stuff (see here for my other ruby and blake-centric platonic super hero fic shameless self promotion yay). See their page for more info on this one though. Hopefully i did it justice. 

The world blurred as she ran, the edges of her vision fading away. She could still see though, everything in front of her seemed to be standing still as she moved around the people, even outrunning vehicles. She was unstoppable, a force of nature, the wind itself incarnate; and she was late.

Having super speed had a lot of advantages. She could do things faster than anyone else, run through the city at amazing speeds, and even move fast enough to catch bullets. However one thing it didn’t do was help her sense of time. Technically she had left with enough time, but a hold up and a fire had slowed her down, not that she regretted it.

She was Ruby Rose, or to most of the people of Vale, The Caped Kid, a name she still wanted to change. She’d only really gotten it because whenever she showed up someone would say “Hey it’s that caped kid!” and then it just stuck. It’d be nice to have an actual hero name, but for now she didn’t mind, she just liked helping people.

Slowing down she finally reached where she needed to be. Ducking behind a nearby building she used her speed to change from her costume, and then stepped back out and jogged at a much more normal pace to the front of the building.

“It’s about time.” Yang says, standing there with her arms crossed wearing jeans with a brown and yellow t-shirt. “I was starting to wonder if you’d get here at all.”

“Sorry.” Ruby says, having changed into her own civilian clothes of a red skirt, a black top, and a red hoodie.

“Look, Ruby, I know I’m not big on all that stuff myself, but I’m also your big sister. You gotta learn to show up to at least the important stuff on time.”

“I know. I try. I’m just not good at time.” She says.

“Well right now you don’t have much of it, so I’m not gonna stand here and point it out. Let’s go.” She says, smiling and waving for Ruby to follow her as she turns and heads inside. “So you’re all signed up and everything right?”

“Uh, yeah.” Ruby says, walking beside her. “I got my classes and I should be getting my dorm today.”

“Good, cause your stuff is crowding my room.” Yang says, “Oh, and my roommate borrowed one of your books. I think she’s done with it though.”

“Oh, that’s fine. Which one?”

“I don’t know, black cover with rose petals on it.”

Ruby gasps softly and her eyes go wide for a second. “By Any Other Name.” she says, “That’s one of my favorites! Did she like it? How long did it take her to read it? Did you read it too? Did she read the sequel?”

“Jeez, calm down.” Yang says with a chuckle. “I think so, not long, no, and I don’t think so. I didn’t really ask. She reads a lot so I don’t really bother trying to ask about them. If I asked about every book I’d do it twice a day.”

“Oh, alright.” Ruby says, slumping her shoulders.

“Speaking of roommates,” Yang says, “you’re gonna be getting one.”

“Ugh, don’t remind me.” Ruby grumbles as she crosses her arms.

“Oh come on, you shared a room with me for years.”

“Yeah but that’s different, you’re my sister.” She says, “I mean, what do I do with this other person? What if they don’t like me? What if I can’t talk to them? What if they think I’m weird?”

“Didn’t I just tell you to calm down? You’ll be fine, Ruby.” She stops walking and turns to face Ruby, putting a hand on her shoulder. “You’re my little sister; I’ve known you since you were born. You have nothing to worry about. I mean, you’re in Beacon a year early. How many people can say that? Whoever your roommate is, they’ll be lucky to have you. I should know.”

Ruby smiles and looks up at her. “Thanks.” She says.

“No problem. Now let’s go figure out your room.” Yang says, putting an arm around Ruby’s shoulder as they started walking again.

…

“Okay, B8, B6, B4.” Ruby counts.

“Before what?” Yang asks.

“Before I kick you in the knee you should stop making bad jokes.”

“Right, well we’re here. This is me.” Yang says, tapping on one of the doors. “B2. So if you wanna stop by and visit you know where I’m at.”

“Cool.” Ruby says as Yang opens the door.

“Honey, I’m home.” She calls out as she walks in. “Huh, guess she’s not here. Anyway, your stuff is in the boxes. Just stick it on the dolly.”

“Got it.” Ruby says, grabbing a box and setting it onto the device. “Too bad Dad couldn’t be here to help.”

“Yeah, kinda sucks he didn’t get to see you move in. I’m sure he’ll complain about it. The force keeps him busy though. I mean, that’s why we stored it all here when he could help.”

“Guess so.” Ruby says, looking around as she stacks on another box. “I can tell which side of the room is yours.” It was split pretty evenly, clearly designed to give both sides the same thing. Each held a bed and a desk with a lamp on it, and a window between the two beds. The decorations though were much different. On one side the walls held posters of boybands and motorcycles, with a yellow comforter on the bed, and a desk littered chaotically with papers and pictures.

The other side of the room had a purple comforter with a black floral pattern, what seemed to be a poster of a book cover on the wall, and the desk was a bit more organized, but stacked with books both recreational and textbook to the point that Ruby was surprised it could hold them all.

“Kinda obvious isn’t it?” Yang says, grabbing a box and hefting it onto her shoulder. “Let’s get going. That all of it?”

“Looks like it. If you find anything else you can just drop it off.” Ruby says.

“Alright, what’s your room again?”

“Uhh, R4.” She says.

“Wow, fifth floor. Thank goodness for elevators right?” she says, leading the way towards them.

“Wait how did you know that?” Ruby asks, following behind while pulling the dolly.

“Their labeled by letter. Four letters per floor, except the last two on the top floor. “Oh. So I’m pretty high up then. That’s good. Be a nice view.”

“Unless you got somewhere to be, like class.” Yang says, “Especially for you, since you’re always late.” She presses the elevator button, letting it take them up.

“Hey I try, I even leave early.” Ruby says, “I just get… distracted on the way. By, um, stuff.”

“Stuff?” Yang asks, stepping out as the elevator doors ding open.

“You know, like um, cute dogs.”

“Cute dogs huh?” Yang asks and grins. “Those the only cute things you look at, or are you the real dog here?”

“What?” Ruby asks, tilting her head in confusion.

“Nothing.” Yang says with a chuckle. “This is you.” She says.

“Okay.” Ruby says and takes a deep breath. Stepping up she stares at the door.

“What are you doing?” Yang asks.

“Um, what if they’re in there?” She asks.

“That’s why you knock.”

“I know but… what if they’re in there?”

Yang sighs and leans over, knocking on the door. “I mean, shy is one thing Ruby but you really got to get this under control. I mean, you’re fine once you get to know people, so just act like you know them already.”

“But I don’t know them. That’s the problem.” Ruby says, just as the door opens.

“What?” The person on the other side asks, looking them over. About Ruby’s height with long white hair in a ponytail and wearing an expensive looking white and blue top with a matching skirt and heels. The only thing on her that looked out of place was the scar on one eye.

“Hey!” Yang says with a smile.

“Um, hi.” Ruby says.

“Who are you?” She asks.

“I’m Yang; this is my little sister Ruby.” Yang says, “You look familiar. Uhh, Schnee right?”

“Weiss Schnee, yes. So why are you two knocking on my door?” She glances over, “Boxes? Oh… I see.”

“Yep, Ruby here is your new roommate.”

Weiss looks over at Ruby, who gives a nervous smile. “You’re kidding. She’s twelve.”

“I uh, just turned sixteen actually.” Ruby says.

“Wonderful, so you’re only a year too young.”

“She got in early. She’s smart like that.” Yang says.

“Good for her.” Weiss says, “Do you have a key?”

“Yeah I got one…” Ruby pats down her pockets, eventually pulling it out. “Here!”

“Fine, come in.” She says, stepping back and letting them in.

“About time.” Yang says, stepping in and setting the box down by the door. “Wait, you’re a second year right? How do you not have a roomie?”

“It’s not uncommon for people to drop out. My old roommate left so I was left with it too myself. Apparently they felt the need to rectify that.”

“Wow.” Ruby says as she steps in as well, looking around. One side of the room was completely empty, but the other side was perfectly organized. Pencils, papers, books, the painting on the wall. She could probably measure between the pens sitting on the desk and get an exact measurement.

“So, um, just put my stuff down anywhere?” Ruby asks.

“Anywhere on your side of the room.” Weiss says.

“Right, of course.” Ruby says, taking the boxes off and setting them on the floor against the wall. With Yang helping she gets them set out pretty quickly.

“So, you gonna need any help unpacking that stuff?” Yang asks.

“No, don’t think so.” Ruby says, “Still gotta figure out where to put it anyway.”

“Alright. I’ll leave you two to get acquainted then. You wanna grab dinner later? My treat. Welcoming party for my little sis.”

“Yeah, sure.” Ruby says.

“Cool, meet me at my dorm when you’re ready.” Yang says, grabbing the dolly and heading out. “And have fun!” She adds as she closes the door.

“Heh, right, fun.” Ruby says, looking at Weiss with a small smile. “Soooo, wanna be friends?”

Weiss rolls her eyes. “Sure, we can stay up late in our pajamas painting our nails and gossiping about celebrities.” She says, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Really?” Ruby asks.

“No.” Weiss says. “Look, I work best on my own. You stay on your side of the room, don’t bother me, and I’ll learn to deal with you being here.”

“Um, right. Okay.” Ruby says. “I’ll just, unpack.”

“You do that.” Weiss says, sitting down at her desk.

“Off to a great start, Ruby.” Ruby mutters to herself as she starts unpacking.

…

Standing outside of Yang’s door Ruby knocks a few times, rocking back and forth on her feet with her hands behind her back as she waited. She heard a few sounds come from the other side and then the door opened, Yang sticking her head out. “Hey Rubes, come on in, I’m just about ready.” She says, stepping back and leaving the door open.

Ruby walks in, closing the door behind her. “So are you gonna be lo-“ She snaps her jaw closed as she sees someone else in the room. Lying on the other bed wearing what looked almost like some kind of robe and a bow in her hair, with her legs crossed and a book in her hand, was someone Ruby shouldn’t have recognized.

“Oh right, you two haven’t met yet.” Yang says, “Ruby, this is Blake, my roomie and BFF. Blake, this is my little sister Ruby,” she puts an arm around Ruby, “who just got into Beacon a year early.”

“Congratulations.” Blake says, “It’s a pleasure to meet you. If Yang approves I’m sure you’re a good person.”

“Ye-yeah. Thanks. It’s, uh, it’s nice to meet you too.” Ruby says.

“Is she okay?” Blake asks, looking at Yang.

“She’s fine, just shy.” Yang says, running a brush through her hair a few times before tossing it aside and grabbing her jacket. “Keys.” She says, looking around for a moment before finding them. “Aha. Gotcha. You ready, Ruby?”

“Um, yeah, totally ready.”

“Good, I know a place but we’d better get there fast for good seats.”

“Yeah, sure, fast.” Ruby says, “But not too fast, normal people fast. I mean, normal people on a motorcycle, going as fast as you do.”

“Riiigghht.” Yang says, “Let’s go you little spaz.” She says, heading out. “See you, Blake.”

“See you later. Nice meeting you, Ruby.” Blake says.

“Uh yeah, definitely nice meeting you for the first time ever too.” She says, following Yang out.

“Wow, that was worse than the Schnee girl.” Yang says. “Meeting two people in one day a bit too much to handle?”

“Just kinda hungry, so a bit loopy. We should go.”

“Gotcha. Follow me.” She says and leads the way.

…

Ruby looked over, making sure Weiss was asleep. Having a roommate again would make it harder to sneak out, but that wasn’t going to stop her. Today had actually been good so far, and fairly quiet, but she was still going out to check. Slipping her mask on she opened the window and stepped out, putting one foot on the wall to run down the side of the building.

The city was always quiet at night, or quieter at least, though the darkness and solitude made it more common for less than legal activities. That was why Ruby went out, patrolling the streets to try and keep at bay those who might do harm. For a while she thought it really would be a quiet night of just running around. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, that wouldn’t be the case.

A gunshot rang out through the night, followed by a couple more a few seconds later. Turning she headed right for the source of the sound. Running up the side of a building she made it to the roof and looked down to get ahold of the situation. She saw a lot with the lights on, and a few armed men pointing their guns out. For a moment she didn’t see at what, and then someone took off running, someone Ruby definitely recognized.

She dashed down the other side of the building just as more shots rang out. Running through she managed to grab a few of the bullets, something she’d just figured out how to do recently, and then bolted over to pull the guns out of their hands. Turning she made another pass, pulling out the zip ties she kept on her and binding their hands behind their backs. Vibrating her vocal chords to distort her voice she gave them one word, “Stay.” And then took off after the runner.

It didn’t take long to catch up, though finding her wasn’t as easy as Ruby would have hoped. She skidded to a halt nearby where she leaned against a wall. “You really shouldn’t be putting yourself in danger like that.” She says.

“I can handle myself.” Blake says, looking back at her. She’d changed out of her pajamas and into black pants and a grey top, probably to make herself harder to see. “Thank you for the help though.”

“Maybe you should get a card so I can punch it each time I have to help you out of danger.”

“What, ten saves and I get a t-shirt that says ‘The caped kid saved my life and all I got was this lousy t-shirt’ or something?” Blake asks.

“You’d be the only one with it. There hasn’t been anybody getting into as much trouble as you do. If I got paid you’d be half my salary.”

“So you’re just a hero for fun then? Or do you like saving pretty girls?” Blake asks.

“I want to help people.” Ruby says, “That’s all. Why do you do it?”

“Do what?” Blake asks.

“All the trouble. You’re always digging into things. For a law student you sure go out a lot. Sure you’re not some kind of adventurous reporter?”

“Isn’t it obvious? So you’ll come and save me.” Blake jokes.

“I’d believe that more if you actually had a way to know when I’m around.”

“Like you said, I want to help people. Get to the bottom of things. Find out who’s guilty, and who’s innocent.”

“I understand, but there is a difference. I can outrun the bullets and you can’t. I don’t want to see you get hurt because I wasn’t there to save you.”

“Well I did say I can handle myself. I’m not some damsel-in-distress in a fairy tale.”

“Not yet at least. Now how about you go home? Seems like enough trouble for one night.”

“Alright. It’s quite a ways though, and the buses aren’t running. Might be a long and dangerous walk for one woman at night.”

“I’m not a taxi you know.”

“Obviously, I’d have to pay a taxi.”

Ruby sighs but can’t help a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. Almost her entire time as a hero so far she’d been coming to Blake’s rescue, a rescue she only needed about half the time. She was somehow always finding herself right in the middle of some kind of danger, whether it was drug dealers or just a mugger it always seemed like there was something. “The usual?”

“Of course.” Blake says, holding an arm up.

Ruby steps up and Blake puts her arm around Ruby’s shoulder as she picks her up. “Hold on.” She says and takes off down the street. It didn’t take a minute, less than twenty seconds even, and they arrived. “Last stop, Beacon University.”

“Thank you, again.” Blake says as Ruby sets her down.

“Always happy to help.” Ruby says.

“Same time tomorrow?” Blake asks.

“No offense, but I hope not.”

“Guess we’ll have to see. Goodnight, Caped Kid.” Blake says as she walks in.

“I have got to get a better name.” Ruby says, “Maybe I can as one of those reporters…” She shakes her head. “Not important, one more pass then bed. Gotta get to class tomorrow.” She says. A moment later she takes off back into the city. A hero’s work was never done.

✿ ☤ ∞ For Oran and Erasmo~

Oran

✿: What is your muses favourite scent?

-In general, anything oceanic or that salty seaspray kind of deal. At heart, Oran always enjoys something that brings him back home, even if he’s a little unsure of where that is some days.

-On a love interest, he actually kind of prefers no perfume. Especially in the main rwby verse, while he’s not a faunus, being raised around them means he’s got a very strong sense of smell, and so prefers to smell ‘them’ rather then perfume. (random headcanon, he hates for anyone to point it out, but he will sometimes bury his nose in their hair/neck for a moment as a comfort thing.) Otherwise, he likes woodsy/grassy/slight florals (for girls) as a scent. Basically anything that’s fairly natural.

☤: Is your muse allergic to anything? 

-Nope, Oran’s not allergic to anything. Because his body’s not used to it, he tends to go harder under anesthesia or any sort of heavy medication. Which means Nalani has some fun videos from when he’s had to go to the hospital.

∞: Is there something about your muse that has been constant throughout their life?

-Fighting :P. Nah, but he’s always been a stubborn protective type growing up and he’s always tended to latch on people he felt needed his protection (which has blown up a hundred times in his face or been proven wrong). Also, he’s always undervalued or underestimated his own intelligence, because it’s not exactly a bookish knowledge. 

-Also, a tendency to never really trust a good thing. Once you’ve been told time and time again by your dad that this place is going to be great, you’re gonna settled down here and then get pulled up, sometimes in the middle of the night, to move, you kinda trust good things to not last.

Erasmo

✿: What is your muses favourite scent?

-In general, a combination of old books and fire. Because yes, his family does have that kind of old fashioned study that he spent way too much time in growing up.

-On a love interest, anything spicy. He actually tends to prefer to wear a spicy style cologne himself. He always finds it more intriguing then most other scents.

☤: Is your muse allergic to anything?

-He had a mild allergy to bee stings and poison ivy, which is one reason he prefers to go out in the field with everything covered. It’s a little embarrassing to break out in hives in the middle of a mission, as he found out in his second year in Beacon...And yes, Oran teased him about it. 

∞: Is there something about your muse that has been constant throughout their life?

-Medicine and all that entails. His ‘parents’ never hid any of their work from their kids and was always fairly frank about important issues with them. While it made them have a harder time getting along with kids, as all three of them were more comfortable around adults, Erasmo’s never faulted them for it. 

-Fear of ending up like his mom. While done with the best of intentions, his parents did hide his birth mother from him, because of her disorder. Since finding out, he’s tried to run from it, bury it, and now he’s being slightly open about it. Oran and Nalani and his sister know about his panic attacks and that he does control them with medication. He’s a little more open about having an anxiety disorder, and he’s very forthright about advocating for better mental health care. (Some of this doesn’t apply to the modern verse, but he’s still a very much an advocate for mental health.)
