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

[Faal Lot Himdah]

Sirina Zezili

Sirina chuckled a little, "I have that effect on people." She said as she swung her cane around in a circle, "You know, I never though that I would run into someone with your type of opinions.... My father had similar opinions, and so did my mother.... Though they never took their own opinion seriously, never willing to act on them. They saw the corruption that is found all over this world, and they figured that the only way to fix it was the complete upheaval of society.... Or something like that."

She then sighed, "I guess it's not worth trying to lie about.... I admit that they rub off slightly on me... I've been looking for hope, and possibly to find a way to disprove that opinion, maybe find a way that wasn't as drastic" She then faced Reina, "And you have convinced me of something... That my searching is useless...."

[Sonitusia]

"Don't get your panties in a knot," Mentari replied, waving a spoon with some yogurt on it, "I'm just saying that not going with her in the first place would keep us from having the probability of being turned into angry warriors with clouded minds." She stuffed the dairy treat into her mouth, the blueberry flavor washing inside. I don't really enjoy having my thoughts bothered by someone else. It gets really annoying.

"But I suppose that also having the chance to be given high spirits may be worth the risk," she noted, shoveling another spoonful of yogurt into her mouth, "it's just that I don't want us all to die because our leader decided to be in a bad mood."

In a blink of an eye, Chess was next to Mentari, his head on her lap. "So? We all die sometime." She gestured to the amber eye. "It's more fun to die fighting than in some fucking bed with your grandkids looming over you for the inheritance." Chess continued, his ears twitching playfully as his tail wrapped around Mentari's arm.

"It's also much more fun dying with a smile on your face," Mentari pointed out, "rather than being in pain." She then gulped the last spoonful of yogurt and continued with her orange juice, beginning to pet Chess's head and tail. The adorable faunus team member made her want to pounce them, but she decided that doing so in a cafeteria would cause misunderstandings.

"Besides, do we really know how her semblance works?" she asked, "Because all I've been told is that it affects someone's mind."

"Besides, do we really know how her semblance works?" she asked, "Because all I've been told is that it affects someone's mind."

"It essentially transmits trauma. She relives memories, be them good or bad, receives the trauma," Chess made a finger gun and fired it at his head. "And then transmits it to her target." Chess blushed as she was petted. Not that she wanted Mentari to stop or anything.

Mentari continued to pet the faunus as she sipped on her juice. "Well in that case, that makes everything easier," Mentari concluded, "just don't make her mad at us. Simple as that." Putting down the half-full glass, she laid back in her chair and breathed in the cafeteria air. Similar to a chemistry lab in some ways. Could use a bit more fragrance.

[Aidannadia]

It was not long before Togami's meal ceased obscuring the surface of his tray, and it was even a shorter time that it took him to escape the crowded cafeteria for the more comfortable walkway that pathed its way through the school's grounds. As he exited the cafeteria, contrary to his usual composed self, tripped over his... 'acquaintance' Ning, perhaps in part due to the rush to evade social interaction and in part due to the rampant sleep deprivation that was no doubt presenting him with bags under his eyes.

"You make it sound so simple," Lucas said sarcastically, thinking back to all the times Charlotte had swung punches at him in the past few weeks

"Besides, wouldn't it be good to know what makes her happy? And hone her ability of sending us good memories? Sorta like sharpening a blade...of happiness?"

Next on Lucas' list of things to eat was actually tea, hot,steaming,tea. Chugging down the cup in mere seconds, Lucas exclaimed while his face went red from the heat, static electricity sparking along his fingers
"HOT TEA, REALLY HOT TEA!"
And shoved a glass of water into his face, chugging that down, producing a lot of steam from his mouth and ears as it cooled him down in relief

And shoved a glass of water into his face, chugging that down, producing a lot of steam from his mouth and ears as it cooled him down in relief

"Because it does seem simple."

She pulled out her scroll, and showed them pictures that were taken at peculiar angles. All of them had Charlotte, and of course, Theriam. "I have eyes all around this school as of the moment," she explained, "and through them I've been able to take some great photos." She also showed off a pictured of Lucas changing his underwear, luckily without anything sticking out.

[Faal Lot Himdah]

Ning Kohkahycumest

Ning was sitting peacefully, even after he felt someone trip over him. After a moment, Ning opened his eyes and looked for the person who tripped over him. He quickly spotted Togami, and smiled slightly.

"You look tired. Getting enough sleep." He asked, "Anyways, how are you doing?"

The half eaten cheeseburger fell unto the table
"Uhh....Mentari?" Lucas sputtered, his face growing a light shade of red, "I don't think that is Charlotte and Theriam..."

Taking the opportunity to try to cover Mentari's scroll and attempt to delete the photo, "Yeah that is for private eyes only, no need for that getting into the wrong hands...right Mentari?"

[Shyluz]

"Don't worry Luke," Chess said, a wry smile dancing on his lips. "I've got panty-shots of all the girls, including Charlotte, changing scenes of all the guys, and a helluva lot of pics involving our favorite couple." He gave a relaxed smile, before giving a yawn and an uncharacteristic 'nya~' before drifting off into dreamland on Mentari's lap.

[Aidannadia]

Ning Kohkahycumest

Ning was sitting peacefully, even after he felt someone trip over him. After a moment, Ning opened his eyes and looked for the person who tripped over him. He quickly spotted Togami, and smiled slightly.

"You look tired. Getting enough sleep." He asked, "Anyways, how are you doing?"

"Oh, well... yes. I'm getting enough sleep. I just need to get back to my studies. My grades have been slipping recently despite working even harder," Togami said, fingers tapping against his right pant leg incessantly, his lies showing on his faces in plain view. "Oh, how rude of me. Apologies are in order." He outstretched his hand to make amends.

[Sonitusia]

"Precisely why I uploaded these pictures to cloud," Mentari agreed, "so only I can open them, and I'll never lose them as long as I never throw them into the recycling bin." She pulled the scroll away from Lucas' prying hands, and swiped the screen again with her eyes close to it.

"I always wondered how flat you were, Chess, but I didn't know you were that lacking..." she muttered.

Sirina Zezili

Sirina chuckled a little, "I have that effect on people." She said as she swung her cane around in a circle, "You know, I never though that I would run into someone with your type of opinions.... My father had similar opinions, and so did my mother.... Though they never took their own opinion seriously, never willing to act on them.

I've been looking for hope, and possibly to find a way to disprove that opinion, maybe find a way that wasn't as drastic" She then faced Reina, "And you have convinced me of something... That my searching is useless...."

"Destruction is necessary for this world to become right. Do you think you're willing to do what ever it takes when the time comes?"

Reina decided recruiting someone to her cause wasn't such a bad idea. Erde did say to make friends, right? She holds out her hand to Sirina.

"Are you with us?"

[Serah]

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!'

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.

After reading what she thought and due to the manual anger restraining Jugo managed to pull off, the haze vanished after a few seconds.

"Sorry about that, I know I can get really... Touchy and protective.
It does happen sometimes, much like when it happened for Ether." He explained, slightly guilt tripping over scaring her.

After all, she wasn't the one that should be scared or intimidated from him.
Although it was true that just seeing him in this state was quite terrifying, especially for the people in front of him.
Even Leonard, someone that did the exact same thing felt somehow uncomfortable when Theriam was in this state, even he knew how dangerous it would be for him to get to that side, even if he could come back.
His berserk persona is possibly the worst thing about him, because if it runs wild, the hidden form of Miriel will show and the very sight of it makes him live up to his nickname of the King of Blood.
He was possibly, in this state, five times stronger and faster than he ever would be as a normal person.
However, just using it makes him lose himself little by little, hence why he needed some level of control over Jugo.

[Faal Lot Himdah]

Ning Kohkahycumest

Ning shook his head as he grabbed Togami's hand.

"It's no problem, no need to worry about it." He said, "Your high strung.... I can tell, tense and worried. Every so often it is good to take a step back from your studies. Especially if you are like you are now."

Sirina Zezili

Sirina looked at Reina's hand, debating what to do. She bite her lip as she thought. Would she give up her search... Would she risk her realationships...

She sighed as she reached for Reina's hand. Slowly she grasped it. She shook it. To Sirina, the teacher was right, and not just because she was a teacher, but because she convinced her.

"I don't know. But I will stand with you." She said.

[Atlannia]

"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?"

“Great!” beamed Skye, thumping her refined teammate on the shoulder in an affectionate, if slightly more forceful than necessary manner. “I don’t really understand most of what you just said so I’m gonna go ahead and assume you said ‘come get food with us’ Awesome!”
Turning to Carmina Skye launched into an explanation “I wasn’t really flying,” she said, moving slightly ahead of the others and, displaying impressive flexibility lifting one of her legs high enough to show off the sole of her artificial foot. “-So much as gliding.”
True to her words there was a sleek looking blade running down the centre of her foot, which could easily have stood in for an ice skate although it looked a great deal more dangerous. The edge of a similar blade could be seen on her other foot and it was presumably that which allowed her to slide forward whilst chattering away happily, occasionally jutting out a hip or moving an arm to maintain her balance.
“I can lower the friction on them with my semblance,” Skye explained, lowering her foot and doing a little pirouette. “But I’m having trouble like…” The faunus girl paused, lifting a finger to her lips as she searched for the right answer. “Altering something through something else. Like I wanna change the ground’s friction through my leg rather than by touching it directly. It’s tricky though, I couldn’t get it to work. I thought the problem was that I wasn’t motivated enough so I figured I’d get myself moving the old way and then force myself to slow down using this new technique.” As she spoke Skye demonstrated this with an elaborate, whooshing hand gesture before grinning bashfully and running a hand through her blonde hair.
“It didn’t really work out though and now I’m reaaaallly hungry. But that’s cool ‘cus we’re going to the Ca-Fe-Teriaaaaa!” Skye said, adopting a singsong voice for the last word before gasping as a sudden realisation hit her.
“I wonder if they have pizza? Or tacos?! Or like, tacos but the taco is actually a pizza folded in half and filled with toppings! Man that would be rad!”

[Nachfolgia]

"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."

Perhaps Avena can understand high-sounding jargon. "Avena," she leaned to her teammate to whisper, "in English?"

" I'm not sure, but I think she invited Skye to come along with us." Avena whispered back. " Then again, I might be wrong. She could have said 'I hate you guts and want to eat your face.' I'm from the country-side of Vale, not too many sophisticates there." Avena said with a slight smile. Avena's home town is located to the southwest, far from the cities. It's a rather simple town with simple values. Her father liked the place, because it was as far away from the people who hated him.

[Charlia]

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.

However, just using it makes him lose himself little by little, hence why he needed some level of control over Jugo.

She smiled slightly.

"It's nice that you want to protect me, but I don't need your protection... I'm strong. I can take care of myself. Besides, like I said, there's really only one way anyone can hurt me now--and cruel as she is, I just can't see her doing that."

Theriam scowled again.

'The thing is... I can, and I'm sure it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.' His eye flared again, yet his face didn't sold him out.

"If anything happens and has me in it although you very well know I wouldn't be there or do that, you still know the code.
And whatever happens, if Reina is around and if I suddenly pop out of nowhere to hurt you or something, just know that it isn't me.
That's the one thing I can't protect you of.
That thing being yourself." He motioned to Charlotte with his hand.

"But I can protect you against myself."

[North Arkana]

Sirina Zezili

Sirina looked at Reina's hand, debating what to do. She bite her lip as she thought. Would she give up her search... Would she risk her realationships...

She sighed as she reached for Reina's hand. Slowly she grasped it. She shook it. To Sirina, the teacher was right, and not just because she was a teacher, but because she convinced her.

"I don't know. But I will stand with you." She said.

"You'll know when the time for everything to begin comes. For now, see if anyone you know feels the same way about this world. The fewer people who ends up wasting their lives trying to stop what's necessary, the better."

Reina gives a small two fingered salute and turns to leave.

[Shyluz]

"Precisely why I uploaded these pictures to cloud," Mentari agreed, "so only I can open them, and I'll never lose them as long as I never throw them into the recycling bin." She pulled the scroll away from Lucas' prying hands, and swiped the screen again with her eyes close to it.

"I always wondered how flat you were, Chess, but I didn't know you were that lacking..." she muttered.

"Gee, thanks Mentari." Chess said, the words dripping with sarcasm. "I do were a bra, you know. I'm technically a girl, after all." She continued, her eyes unamused, and her ears pointed back, a sure sign of annoyance with the girl she laid on. "Not that you're one to talk."

[Sonitusia]

"You're quite welcome my friend," Mentari replied cheerfully, putting her scroll away, "you know, there's a legendary saying, which states that the smaller your mammary glands, the more just you are."

She looked down at the girl's animal ears, and scratched them softly. "There's no need to be upset."

[Shyluz]

"You're quite welcome my friend," Mentari replied cheerfully, putting her scroll away, "you know, there's a legendary saying, which states that the smaller your mammary glands, the more just you are."

She looked down at the girl's animal ears, and scratched them softly. "There's no need to be upset."

"Who ever said I was just?" Chess said, an eyebrow raised. "I have thirteen photos of you, mostly panty shots, or changing scenes. I'm sure someone would be interested in them." A wry smile danced on her lips, and her ears and tail twitched in amusement. "Now, Luke, you said something about practice?"

[Sonitusia]

A wry smile danced on her lips, and her ears and tail twitched in amusement. "Now, Luke, you said something about practice?"

"I have about double the amount of yourself, so I suppose this is when I say touche?"

She then looked at Lucas and nodded in agreement with Chess' words. "Yeah, I'd like to get to practice really soon , we need to work better as a team." She stopped patting the girl's head and began to sit upright.

"No, this is when I say touche." Chess said, her eyebrows raised slightly in surprise that the other girl had collected so many pictures. With a wild grin, the faunus lept up and hugged the girl, resting her head on top of the other girl's. With mock sobbing and tears, Chess looked like a mother saying goodbye to a college-bound child. "My widdle pervert is all gwown up now!" She said, furiously petting Mentari's head.
