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

[Sonitusia]

Mentari didn't bother keeping up, just letting the scroll guide her when she finally arrived last. Sure, she was one of the star runners from Atlas, but when you're up against someone who can seemingly teleport or uses dust to enhance their physical capabilities, it's best not to waste your breath.

"I have an energy bar," Mentari piped up, taking out a very nutritious, very natural, very homemade granola bar. "I think it has a mixture of dust in it as well," Mentari mentioned, waving it around, "some electricity perhaps? Shouldn't hurt anyone since we have the shocking stuff in us."

[Charlia]

Chess was already there. Smiling idly as Lucas ran straight into her clothesline, the lollipop stick sticking out of her mouth as she grinned at her teammate. She leaned over his prone form, letting loose a smirk so smug, even the sun was out done. "What took you so long? I thought you were supposed to be fast?" She asked in mock confusion, her eyes showing her true intent.

Lucas groaned as he got back up, grinning still

"I hate you sometimes y'know, but thanks to you I stopped...I might have forgot to slow down while sprinting."
He then stretched his legs and pointed at Chess
"I'll get you next time, and you'll be getting no fish from me from now on ya hear?"

Then remembering where he was he turned to Charlotte and and Nao
"Charlotte! We have a training to do let's get going... wait uh who's this?" As he pointed to Nao

The question forced her back into her 'dead' role.

They wouldn't know. They couldn't know.

Nobody could ever know.

"Nobody important."

Her voice was still--nothing. Not lifeless, even, there was nothing to describe it. There was nothing remarkable about it.

[Kuhlfros]

"Now? What kind of name is that?"
Lucas asked

and then he turned to Charlotte and began to stare at her as if trying to read her
*staaaaaaarrrrrreee*

Stopping and glancing back at Mentari and the temptation of a energy bar in her hand
"Well, Cap, we better get going if we want to actually practice..."
Grabbing Charlotte by the shoulders he began pushing her along to her fellow teammates away from Nao

As he urged Charlotte her away he waved at Nao
"Nice to meet you, thanks for caring for a friend and her eating habits, Byyyyeeeeeeeeee."

"Nice to meet you, thanks for caring for a friend and her eating habits, Byyyyeeeeeeeeee."

While before, she probably would have pulled away, hit him, and yelled at him, scolding him for touching her...

She just brushed him off and continued walking on her own.

She didn't need his help.

" Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!" Nao responded, hopping up and down while saving. "I hope you all have fun!"

Reina didn't do much as she also turned to leave. She just gave Charlotte a quick "what if her team were to turn on her like Reina did" experience.

...that... little...

NO.

Don't feel. I won't feel. I can't feel.

What are feelings?

Yes...

That's it.

Ice.

I am cold. Sharp. Unfeeling.

I don't need feelings. I don't need anyone or anything.

Alone is what I have.

Alone protects me.

Lucas stopped walking for a moment after being brushed aside
"That's not right...Something here is off"

Catching back up to Charlotte he asked,
"Charlotte, let's say...Hypothetically of course, that I stepped over your line and sat on your bed reading comics while you weren't there. You're completely cool with that right?"

He glanced over at Chess like a telepathic "Help me piss Charlotte off, something isn't right here."
And waited for Charlotte's reaction, hoping for the one he expected, Charlotte getting pissed off and swinging a right hook into his jaw. Because if there was anything Lucas and Chess were ever good at, it was pissing off their team captain with their jokes and the latter's perverted behavior.

She didn't answer.

She simply turned to face him and tilted her head in an eerie, inhuman manner.

She was living in the uncanny valley.

"Yep, that isn't right...at all what the hell." Lucas thought as he stared into Charlotte's emotionless eyes, looking for the tiniest hint of emotion. Concluding that he would have to step it up a notch he whispered to her.

"I wasn't supposed to tell you this but...Chess stole a pair of your underwear and I'm pretty sure both Mentari and Chess have panty shots of you."

By now the team was getting close to the training room, so Lucas was confident that if this didn't work they could resort to Operation Cheer Up Charlotte that they had been planning.

A near-invisible spark of rage flickered in her eyes, but she remembered, and it vanished.

No. I won't be hurt. Never again.

I feel...

Nothing.

[Sonitusia]

"Oh Charlotte, I've been doing background checks on my teammates," Mentari said in a more serious tone, unable to comprehend what Lucas was up to, "I hope you don't mind, since you're the captain. I thought it might help us get to know each other a bit more. Even though, you know, it kind of intrudes on privacy a bit too much."

She took out her scroll, swiping a bit until she came upon several brief biodatas. "Charlotte Noble, born to Kaitlyn Lee Noble and Alex Cameron Noble. Sadly, the mother passed away when giving birth to Charlotte and a twin. Orphaned at the age of three..."

Her eyes widened, and she started visibly trembling with rage, trying to force herself to stay calm.

It wouldn't have that information. Would it?


It can't. It couldn't possibly.

No! No! Calm. I... I...

I can't let them know. I can't let anyone know!

"...Moved multiple times from one foster couple to another," Mentari continued relentlessly, "Finally found a loving household, but then became ill. Said couple didn't have the economical resources to support Charlotte, so she was moved once more..."

The girl mumbled through the next paragraph, before finally asking, "How're the Kinclaids doing?"

Reina

Reina had left the students for a bit, but had begun shadowing them once she was out of sight, making use of her semblance to remain hidden. It wasn't like there was much point in wandering off anyway, the school was in the direction the students were headed so there wasn't much point in not taking the same route as them. Of course, it was certainly nice to find out more about these students, especially Charlotte.

It wouldn't hurt to mess with all of them a little either.

Let's see... maybe make them think the bushes are rustling a little... maybe the illusion of some Grimm... what to do, what to do?

[Kuhlfros]

Noting the flickers of anger that have started coming across Charlotte's face, Lucas thought "Now we are getting somewhere, Maybe Mentari can get her back."

"I never knew You had a twin Charlotte?"
Then hearing the part about her becoming an orphan he became more serious

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I guess it's not much help but I haven't seen my parents in a long time too...I can't say if they are alive or dead though..."

His eyes widened for a moment as he opened the door to the others into the Training room
"Hey Mentari, when you researched me, did it have any information about Bernard of Sonya Blixsen?"

[Aidannadia]

Ning Kohkahycumest

Ning let out a sigh and took a deep breath, especially because people walked past him and didn't notice he was holding an unconcious student. Rude. Very rude.... he thought. He saw people look in his direction, but then look away.

Its almost as if they don't care for the well being of their fellow students.... I bet you if I stabbed someone, or even myself, no one would notice. And if they did, they'll likely ignore it... he thought with another deep breath.

"Does anyone care that in my arms is a possibility injured or sick boy?!?!" He yelled, This school.... Why did I let Sirina convince me to come...

The slumped figure of Togami shook its head as it came back to consciousness.

"Does anyone care that in my arms is a possibility injured or sick boy?!?!" The teen heard his friend scold the nearby students.

Togami eased himself up gently, using Ning as leverage in doing so. "Don't worry about it, Ning. I'm sure they have better things to be doing than worrying," He muttered nervously while his body language took a more self-conscious pose.

"Have you eaten yet? Here, I'll pay for your tab. Let's just keep moving," The heir held up his scroll to his companion.

His eyes widened for a moment as he opened the door to the others into the Training room
"Hey Mentari, when you researched me, did it have any information about Bernard of Sonya Blixsen?"

Mentari nodded, but her face wasn't exactly happy. "Your father, a prominent Hunter from the outskirts of Atlas. Last known location was the forest outside of Atlas. You were also the last person to see him." She swiped the scroll, and began to read a more extensive data sheet of the man. "However, there have been underground rumors of an old man resembling him around five months ago near Atlas. Something about an Artic Grimm mission. Presumed KIA."

She then turned to another page. "And your mother, Sonya Blixsen, now Sonya Caper, working for a Research and Development firm in Vale, remarried to another member of the company, Gregory Caper."

[Stormwrath]

"Of course, thank you," Carmina accepted, and the apple was tossed to her. She took a large bite out of it and chewed with a loud and audible crunch. She placed the apple on her tray, and was digging into the meat on her plate. Like Avena, she shoved quite a lot of food down her throat at amazing speed. Jackson seemed to have got used to this common sight. Another student may have noticed Carmina's meal and commented, "That amount of cholesterol could either kill ya, or make ya gain some weight, ya know." He shrugged, "Just saying."

As he left to sit at another table Carmina turned her head and called out in a sarcastic tone, "Thanks for the tip." Turning her head back to face her tray she said to Avena, "Gosh, can you believe that guy?"

"Hey, Carmina. I think he just called uth fat," Avena replied before swallowing her food. Leif looked over his shoulder and saw what Avena had on her plate — proteins and foods with high sugar content. "I think I'd agree with that redheaded guy," he said to Carmina and Avena before taking in some salad. "I mean, that's quite a lot of sugar, and that's quite a lot of meat."

"Don't carbs make you fat more than sugary food though?" Jackson questioned as he tossed some fries into his mouth.

"Yes, and they pack as much energy as sugar, but desserts can make you fat just as much if you have a lot of it," Leif rebutted. He had quite a lot of knowledge about food and on nutrition by extension. "At least, that's what my parents say to me," he scratched the back of his hair.

"...Moved multiple times from one foster couple to another," Mentari continued relentlessly, "Finally found a loving household, but then became ill. Said couple didn't have the economical resources to support Charlotte, so she was moved once more..."

The girl mumbled through the next paragraph, before finally asking, "How're the Kincaids doing?"

Oh Monty.

No, no, no no no no no no--stop the emotions--can't--scared--how does she--how much--she can't--I can't--hurts--MAKE IT STOP!

Her hands flew to her head, as another raging tide of emotions swept over her, it was agony, she couldn't breathe, no, she could, but why--make it stop--stop the emotions--Who cares for you?

There were tears in her eyes, streaming down her face, but she managed to regain cold control, and the tears stopped.

"Then you know."

A flicker of emotion entered her voice--impatience? Indignation? Anger?

"Well? Speak! Say your piece now or hold your tongue forever!"

She lifted her head coldly, and felt something. Pride? She didn't know.

"Say what you will. It's nothing I haven't heard before."

"Say what you will. It's nothing I haven't heard before."

"Err," Mentari switched back to the page with Charlotte's full body photograph on it. Honestly, she was getting tired of swiping the screen back and forth, but she had to listen to her captain's commands. "Apparently you were at the top of your class prior to moving into the Kincaid household. Afterwards, you had reported to your school's counselor that you were treated very badly, which lead said counselor to summon Michael Kincaid. A debacle ensues, but Charlotte loses in the end, being told off as an attention seeker."

She scrolled down. "But according to medical records that all students are required to take, one can deduce her words were correct, and the wounds were inflicted by brute force. The last time anyone had taken care of her was when the Durham couple let her stay the night, finding her missing the following morning."

[Atlannia]

"It'shh all a quesshtion of calories in vershus calories out," mumbled Skye sagely, whatever point she was attempting to make about nutrition being severely undermined by the enormous hamburger that was currently occupying both her plate and mouth. She swallowed with a visible display of effort and continued talking in a slightly more comprehensive voice.

"Doesn't matter how much or what you eat so long as you burn it all off, once it's gone its gone right?" Skye broke off her train of thought to take a sip from her cola, her blue eyes darting around the cafeteria.

Ning Kohkahycumest

Ning let out a sigh and took a deep breath, especially because people walked past him and didn't notice he was holding an unconcious student. Rude. Very rude.... he thought. He saw people look in his direction, but then look away.

"Have you eaten yet? Here, I'll pay for your tab. Let's just keep moving," The heir held up his scroll to his companion.

"Shouldn't you be in like, the med bay or something?" Skye called over at the rather unwell loking individual and the person supporting him, her long, white ears twitching curiously. "The Pizza Taco is said to hold many miraculous qualities but I don't know if 'healing mortal wounds' is one of them. I'm not necessarily willing to rule it out per se. I'm just saying that the medical community has yet to recognise it as a legitimate treatment path...Y'know. Yet."

Suddenly her eyes grew round with shock. "Unless, Ohmigod! Is it terminal? Are you here for your last meal or something? If that's the case defintely go for Pizza Taco, the hamburger-" SKye held up and tilted her plate slightly to show off its contents, the hamburger slipping perilously close to the edge of the plate.

"Is really just okay, really not last meal quality at all." she continued, earning herself a hateful glare from the cafeteria lady.

[Charlia]

No, no, no no no no no no--stop the emotions--can't--scared--how does she--how much--she can't--I can't--hurts--MAKE IT STOP!

"There."

She stared around at the others, glaring.

"Now you've heard it. Most of it, anyway. I can guarantee that the finer details are..." She searched for the right word, and then found it.

"Damaging."

[Sonitusia]

"Damaging."

"Yep!" Mentari exclaimed cheerfully, "I've got a lot more I can share, but I'm quite sure that Charlotte will tell us sooner or later." She then turned towards her curiously, looking across her body. Not in a perverted way, but the same kind of cold look a pathologist would have during an autopsy. "Some scars just never go away..." she muttered, as if she could see right through the girl's clothing. Technically, she could, having already known what laid underneath, and it wasn't just pretty white skin.

"Don't stake your life on it, Nachtmann." She folded her arms, lifting her chin coldly.

"There is no reason for me to tell you, now or ever."

She was turning into a Vulcan, in a way. Such deep emotions, but always locked away... A being of pure thought and logic. No emotions... unless you forced her to show them.

Emotionally compromised.

That was the state she had to avoid.
