“I’ve dealt with Grimm that were worse than a dozen of those things.” She remarked, tilting her head at the fact that people didn’t seem to have energy to deal with something like that. “You people around here don’t have weapons or Semblances, do you?”
She already knew the answer, and merely continued on with a lazy nod. “I’m not from around here, neither from this world. Fell through some weird gap—I don’t even know how to describe it, but I found myself awaken to one of those things trying to take a bite out of me, but failing to even penetrate my Aura.”
And the second nod was given. “Please go ahead; And it’s a pleasure meeting you, Miss Jacqueline. My name is Ruby Rose, but you can call me Ruby, but please, go on and explain the history ‘round here.”
{❀} “Grimm?” a perplexed look crossed the researcher’s face, the word obviously being one that she had never heard before. Did she mean bad memories? Grim times? She couldn’t tell it was meant to be an expression or a literal thing- she had always been terrible at that.
“Hm, guess not- cause I don’t have any clue what you’re going on about, friend.” Had she met someone else as bonkers as Will was? Even so, she wasn’t about to complain much about it given how good both of their fighting skills seemed to be. She’d be sure to hound her with questions about it later on if she didn’t get pushed away like her previous teammate did.
“Right. So Ruby...pretty sure you can see the world’s not in a happy place at the moment. We had recent pandemic of a rapidly evolving prion disease a few months back. Those people may act like Zombies but...they’re not dead. They’ve got the same thing goin’ on that happens when you give a Bovine Mad Cow disease. Brain rots back to its primal instincts, ‘cept with the nasty effect of wanting to bite our flesh off our bones. And they keep changing too, new methods of hunting and pack mentality...its more than most of us humans can handle...”
