In Memorial of the Fallen: a RWBY RP [IC Thread]

[Serah]

Ow, that even hit me.
The outer friendzone is strong.

'Eh, I wasn't planning to go that far, although it's true that getting shot down that hard hurts a little bit.'

Outwardly, Theriam just smiled and chuckled.

"It was a given, after all, no point in going that far for me after all.
I'm just someone who wants to be a hunter for fun.
Just like my brother, I've already accepted the fact that those kinds of feelings may never come to me, if anything, the suspension bridge effect may have helped during that night." The man spoke, opening only his left eye.

'Even though I know your inner feelings.'

She sat back, considering.

"Yeah... besides, even if I wanted to feel love I wouldn't know how, so it's a good thing I don't want to feel it... Heh."

Then she paused.

"Why are you winking at me?"

The man shook his head.

"Well, I would know how to." He smirked slightly before shrugging.

"I'm not really winking, just hiding my eye, it's grown slightly weirder than it was before.
And to be honest, even telling you why it was red in the first place would make you laugh at me.
Then again, that incident may explain things, ever so slightly." His cape was off enough so she could see all of his current weapons, his new blades and the throwing weapons made by him, lots of them had dust, while only four of them hadn't.

She stared at him.

"Theriam, you have a degree in baka, don't you?

Just open your eye already. If I laugh, I laugh. So what? I laugh at a lot of people."

[Serah]

The man shook his head.

"Well, I would know how to." He smirked slightly before shrugging.

"Theriam, you have a degree in baka, don't you?

Just open your eye already. If I laugh, I laugh. So what? I laugh at a lot of people."

Theriam sighed and opened it.

"You probably saw it before.
A lot of people call me out on this and some call me a freak for it, but they get scared off when I do this." He concentrated himself on something that enraged him to no end, and his eye started emitting a red haze, similar to the flame that covered it when he first fought Charlotte in that classroom.

"This happens, and then they freak out.
It almost only aesthetic, but it does make me more intimidating, way more so than I am usually with my height and face.
It's true though that I hoped I would somehow get something activated within me if it happened, but turns out it just boosts my semblance." He blinked a few times and made it go off.

"And I got that eye because I got red dust blown into my right eye on accident when I was a kid.
I was blind for three days and it burned continuously."

[Charlia]

She stared at him.

"Theriam, you have a degree in baka, don't you?

"And I got that eye because I got red dust blown into my right eye on accident when I was a kid.
I was blind for three days and it burned continuously."

She leaned back, impressed.

"That's actually pretty cool. Can't help but wish I could do that..." She sighed, resting her chin in her hands.

"It's hard to be intimidating, especially for me. For one thing, I'm a girl. For another thing, I'm kind of short. for another thing, I think people can just... tell. I'm not really a killer... yet..."

Theriam sighed and opened it.

Theriam scowled a bit.

"Well, after being trained by an actual killer, I thought I would be a little more intimidating.
Seems like I can only do that.
At least it helps with the factor, if you can make your opponent fear you, you already have half the battle won.
That's what Leonard said to me once." Of course, when he was talking about the killer, he meant Leonard, yet his constructed his sentence so oddly that it would be extremely hard to link the two together.

"I wish I had something else as a semblance, but I don't want to get into Leonard's machine, that'd be giving up on bettering it.
Plus, I've grown used to the Spin, and if I take it away, who knows what I'll get.
I may get something super weird, like life and death control or something, turn a pillar into a giant scorpion.
That'd be weird." He lightly ranted.

[Charlia]

She leaned back, impressed.

"I kind of know how you feel... My semblance..." She sighed. "If I could focus on happier memories, I'd be able to make people stronger, faster--better. But it's so hard to focus on happiness when all I can feel is pain--so I bring pain. And not only that, but I turn into a homing beacon for Grimm... all I can do is hurt people."

Then she stopped.

"And I'm being depressing again, aren't I."

[Faal Lot Himdah]

Sirina Zezili

Sirina turned cold for a second, There is no escape, and she knows how to severely weaken me..... she though before she turned to an indifferent face.

"Why?" She asked simply, "Why would you? If I run, then what threat do I pose? Why would it be necessary to hunt those who run down?" She held her cane tighter, If running isn't safe, then what is?

Ether had been listening as a phantom, behind the pillars, not really hidden, not even really there.
Much like a ghost, or a phantom.
One could think that those weeks hadn't changed him, he looked just as sleepy, just as bored and still as asocial.

However, he had caught wind of what Reina did, it wasn't that he didn't like it, nor did he appreciate it either.
The principle of it all seemed off, he knew she had something else in mind and that Theriam and Leonard knew about it, but they still refused to tell anyone else.

He noticed the blind one that was being spoken to, he tried to talk, comfort her, but his asocial condition kept him from it, so he just carved letters in the air, it was something that slightly modified the air currents and if someone looked carefully, they could actually see what he wrote in it.

'If you're asking yourself what can be done to be safe, then you've already lost.
People like these are assassins, the only way to stop them is to put them down.' Is what he carved.

It was his only way of speaking with people he didn't know.

Theriam scowled a bit.

"Well, after being trained by an actual killer, I thought I would be a little more intimidating.

Then she stopped.

"And I'm being depressing again, aren't I."

Theriam sat up and patted the girl's head lightly.

"Don't worry, you'll get to that point eventually.
I'm sure of it, after all, what does my semblance say about me?
It's Rust, the decomposition of all things, right now, I can only rust non organic things.
When I'll master it, I'll be able to rust even people.

It just screams that anyone that meets me will eventually scrap away from me.
Although there's no point in getting depressed about it, even if it does sound sad."

She smiled slightly.

"Well, I won't leave. There's only one thing you could do to me that would truly hurt me, and I trust that you never would."

Keep telling yourself that, Mom.

Hush.

[Serah]

Theriam sat up and patted the girl's head lightly.

Hush.

Theriam chuckled.

"Like I'd ever try to do that anyway.
Even if that bastard teacher threw an illusion at me I'd know how to make the difference.
Because I wouldn't be able to read it." He shrugged again and covered his leg with his cape again.

"Always comes off for no reason..."

[Charlia]

She smiled slightly.

"Well, I won't leave. There's only one thing you could do to me that would truly hurt me, and I trust that you never would."

"Always comes off for no reason..."

She lowered her voice.

"To be honest, I'm a little scared of her...

There's something about her that reminds me of him. That same willingness to do anything as long as it's to your benefit."

She closed her eyes and sighed.

"Hopefully I'm just being paranoid."

[Serah]

Theriam chuckled.

"Hopefully I'm just being paranoid."

His eye started to grow with the haze again.

"The thing is... If she tries anything...
I'll be sure to kill her in the worst way possible." He looked at Charlotte with a twisted smile, one that could only be shown by those who had already gotten blood on their hands and were ready to do it again.

"Wryyyyyy~" This sound continuously escaped his mouth when he was angry beyond sanity, and Reina was one of those people that made him immediately angry, just by existing.

Now she was afraid.

"Theriam... calm down... I'm sure it'll be fine..."

She stared down at the long shadow in front of her.

It was always odd, shadows, how they shifted and changed so quickly.

"I'm sure it'll be fine."

Sirina Zezili

Sirina turned cold for a second, There is no escape, and she knows how to severely weaken me..... she though before she turned to an indifferent face.

"Why?" She asked simply, "Why would you? If I run, then what threat do I pose? Why would it be necessary to hunt those who run down?" She held her cane tighter, If running isn't safe, then what is?

"Do you know when the trees in a forest grow the fastest? When all the diseased and unnecessary things have been burned away, when everything has burned down and the forest must grow back, that's when the trees grow the fastest."

She looks at the school building, darkness in her face and voice.

"And what better place to start the fire than where this diseased world's guardians are trained?"

"And what better place to start the fire than where this diseased world's guardians are trained?"

Heamet had been watching Charlotte for a while from afar, learning what they were talking about, what they did together.
They seemed like a pretty normal adult couple.
Keyword being adult, and even so, it's rather platonic.

Then he heard a voice, that made his eardrums ring.
"Oh, what a sweet cacophony.
The menta. Now I hadn't expected that one to have this many edges but damn.
Not even Bismuth has this many edges." He spoke sarcastically, loud enough for the teacher to hear.

Heamet had changed as well, not necessarily face wise, but behavior wise, being infinitely more sarcastic and british than he ever was before, his skills had also moved themselves quite a bit.
Being able to handle Leonard at full power for at least thirty seconds and move in frozen time for five, one could say he had bested Theriam in a way, yet his main flaw was the Ripple, he just hadn't worked on it at all, and henceforth, he could only channel it to a small degree, making his attacks seem like a really hot wind.

Although, his natural strength made him a force to be reckoned with and even if he was proposed and chosen by the arrow to have a Stand, he refused, claiming that he didn't need something so easy to progress.

His eye started to grow with the haze again.

"The thing is... If she tries anything...
I'll be sure to kill her in the worst way possible." He looked at Charlotte with a twisted smile, one that could only be shown by those who had already gotten blood on their hands and were ready to do it again.

She stared down at the long shadow in front of her.

It was always odd, shadows, how they shifted and changed so quickly.

"I'm sure it'll be fine."

Theriam's eye didn't calm down though, however, outwardly, his speech didn't show any signs of anger, if anything, he almost sounded glad or even happy.

"I certainly hope for her that it'll be fine.
Because if anything does happen...
Wryyyyyy~" The sound he made almost made him look inhuman, like some sort of beast, although he would never attack Charlotte, his anger was going slightly out of control.

You allowing me to take over? Even when there's nothing?

'I am not! Give me back my mind right now!'

Alright alright, two minutes.

'Just do it!'

[Faal Lot Himdah]

Sirina Zezili

"So are you trying to get yourself killed?" Sirina asked, "From the way I see it, you are going to kill for the sake of hatred. Wouldn't that attract Grimm? And wouldn't said Grimm hunt both you and those whom you try and kill?" She then took a breath, "Why would you go that low?"

Sirina eased up on her cane, "I can tell you are passionate about this. About killing all of us, and destroying this school.... It's all in your voice.... But I have yet to determine a good reason for such passion. So why?"

Sirina eased up on her cane, "I can tell you are passionate about this. About killing all of us, and destroying this school.... It's all in your voice.... But I have yet to determine a good reason for such passion. So why?"

"Hatred? Ha. No, there's no negative feelings in me when I destroy and kill, there never has been, even when I was just starting. Joy, not really. Satisfaction, certainly. A pit of pity for the ones caught in the present every once in a while. There are only a few things I truly hate. Everything else is simply part of what see as a necessity. And if i had my way, no, not everyone at this school would die. Only the ones who can't recognize how rotten the world has become, and those who recognize but refuse to do anything. Returning to dust to start over is the only course of action left. Everything is too broken to fix.
I may admit that I was, and am still at heart, a terrorist. But maybe it would be better to call it ushering in the needed future.
I'm very goal oriented despite what people may think about me. My first goal was to do anything to become a Huntress. To do that, I went so far as to join the White Fang so I could use the to get to Vale. With that goal finished, I've just been stagnating here. Sure, there was a bit of time where I explored the world, but then I was called back to Beacon to teach. Ozpin could probably see something is coming. Things are going to explode soon. It's unfortunate he called me back just so I could finally decide I'd rather be on the other side."

[Faal Lot Himdah]

Sirina Zezili

Sirina looked down and whispered something, "The world by its very nature is broken." She then rode her head up, "But is it so broken that it must be completely ripped apart? That I do not know, nor do I have the information to say. So your passion comes from your goal to see the world changed, to see it rebuilt.... But how?"

She then looked at her cane, "I guess what I am trying to say is justify to me your choices.... Please... Let me understand how your mind works."

She then looked at her cane, "I guess what I am trying to say is justify to me your choices.... Please... Let me understand how your mind works."

"There's comes a point when a forest full of trees has been struck by such a blight that any attempts to grow new healthy trees there simply ends in the new tree's infection and eventual death as well. That is the fate of the idealists who dream of a better world through peaceful methods today. They are corrupted, becoming the thing which they swore they opposed. You cannot save the forest without removing the blight. But in this world, the disease is too deeply embedded in the society we've created for ourselves. The young bright idealists are either cut down by those who see them as a threat, or just fall in with the masses. That is why this world, this forest needs to be burned down. Remove the things which corrupt and destroy the future, and a new forest will grow in its place, hopefully one which won't allow the blight to take hold again."

Reina pauses.

"Ha... Never thought I'd take the time to explain all of this to some student."

[Charlia]

Now she was afraid.

"Theriam... calm down... I'm sure it'll be fine..."

She stared down at the long shadow in front of her.

'I am not! Give me back my mind right now!'

Alright alright, two minutes.

'Just do it!'

Her eyes widened with both fear and concern.

"Theriam... calm down..."

I'm worried. Both for me, and for you.

She knew the pain of rage-fueled madness, and she didn't want her best friend to know it.

[Kuhlfros]

Mentari raised a finger. "Wouldn't it be most logical to just not have her around?" she suggested, "Then we don't have to worry about getting our thoughts all in a jungle."

She let that thought hang in the air.

Lucas stopped and hit his palms flat on the table, not angrily, but to prove urgency
"But Mentari! She's team Captain, working as a team is what we as Hunters do, if we can't do that we are as good as dead, if we can work as a team with all our semblances, what can stop us?"

Taking a moment to chew on a T-bone steak he now had in his mouth
"Besides, if we ever left her behind, I don't know if she'd get negative thoughts from being sad or really pissed off at us, but she would probably bring a horde of Grimm to her, and us"

"We can't ever abandon a friend, even one on the brink of death, stay by them or fight to get to them. I think that was something my dad said...or was it Professor Ozpin?"
Not taking a moment to ponder it. Lucas, having finished his steak devoted his full attention on a triple cheeseburger to chow down on

[Imperial--japan]

"Hey Anna," she greeted. "Guessing you're hungry as well, huh? Wanna come eat with us?"

Anna turned to the sound of the voice that was calling her out. To her surprise, it wasn't one of her own teammates, but instead Carmina, one of her fellow classmates and a friendly acquaintance overall. Anastasia wasn't in any particular rush, and with the day just starting up, it'd be nice to hear from some others than her teammates for a bit.

"Oh, I'd love to." She said while beaming with excitement. Perhaps if she was lucky enough, Anna would be able to claim some of her fellow hunters and huntress' as friends. Before that though, a young Faunus made their debut.

"Did someone say something about food?" Skye asked, giving everyone a bright, if slightly dopey grin. "'Cos I. Am. Staaaaaarving!" Quite unexpectedly, Anastasia's teammate made an abrupt appearance.

"Ah, good evening Skye," I stated in a friendly manner and gave a polite bow.

"I would be delighted if you would accompany me and miss Carmina in our pursuit of sustenance. It would be proper team etiquette I believe".

[Stormwrath]

"Oh, I'd love to," the Valenhart replied with the light of excitement in her eyes. However, a voice seemed to be growing louder and louder — as if it was coming right towards them. "Watch ouuuuuut!" shouted a high pitched voice coming from the sky. A faunus girl slammed in the most unceremonious manner into a pillar with a loud metallic thunk. "…Nrggh," her voice was muffled due to her face being planted into the pillar, "I gehth that dithn't wurk." She managed to pull herself out of the pillar, leaving a dent shaped like her arm. "Did someone say something about food?" she asked with a somewhat dopey grin on her face. "Cos I. Am. Staaaaaarving!"

"Holy cow Skye," Carmina said in a stupefactory response. "How the frick did you end up flying?" But she had to admit that was cool.

"Ah, good evening Skye," Anna gave a polite bow. "I would be delighted if you would accompany me and miss Carmina in our pursuit of sustenance. It would be proper team etiquette I believe."

"Uh, wha?" Carmina was from Vacuo, a rather casual country, and certain words may be out of her internal dictionary. This proved to be a problem for her when communicating with students like Anna, who are from the higher echelons of society. In fact, Anna was of noble blood. Perhaps Avena can understand high-sounding jargon. "Avena," she leaned to her teammate to whisper, "in English?"

[Sonitusia]

Lucas stopped and hit his palms flat on the table, not angrily, but to prove urgency
