RWBY Team

“I’m sure the others won’t object.” He said with a shrug. “I think your fighting style is somewhat similar to ren’s. A ‘hit and run’ tactic right?”

Sun groaned as he felt his body rise up from the ground, he tried to get Yang’s off of him but lacked the strenght to do so. “Ruby please tell her nothing happened!” he said, his legs kicking about to try and get off of her grasp.

The door swung shut behind him, and he undid his coat, shrugging it off to toss it onto one of the hand-shaped hooks lined up by the entrance. The hand closed around the cloth and held it in place, earning a mutter of thanks from Tor. He could never remember if the coat hooks were sentient or not, but it didn’t hurt to show a little gratitude. They might have once been a part of someone kind, after all.

He took a second to readjust his vest, fluffing up the dense and dark fur that had gotten smooshed beneath his trench coat. Perfect. Now it looked just as it had before he’d killed its owner. Hooking a thumb on one of the belt loops of his trousers, he made his way over to the drink table, the smoke from the floor curling up around his boots as he went.

As he poured himself some punch, he looked out over the crowd of people. Frog-eyed boys flirted with girls with hollow backs, while creatures whose red lipstick smeared across their too-sharp teeth as they spun around the floor with their likely unwitting partners. Tor smiled to himself at the sight of it all, relaxing as he leaned back against the wall.

As she made her way through the dark alleyway she stopped for a moment to look around, still not sure where she was or why she was going but she couldn’t fight the gut feeling that she had to go this way. With a sigh, she returned on her walk following that gut feeling. 

Pyrrha sat alone in the dorm, still in her work out clothes after having exercised in the gym. When she’d come back to her empty dorm, she’d sat down and just started thinking, staring out the window until night fell. The stars were never too visible in Vale, but the stadium pushed the light pollution to a whole new level, to the point where it almost looked like day. She missed Mistral, where every night the stars decorated the dark sky with little to no artificial light getting in their way.

She was a world class fighter, often considered better than qualified hunters, and yet she was still anxious. It hadn’t been hard making it to this stage of the tournament, but up until now she’d always had someone to rely on for back up. Now it was just her. And to top it off she had the existential dread of her place in the world. Power to do good or love to be happy, fate or choice, selflessness or selfishness. Pyrrha was one of the most selfless people about yet still the latter choices pulled at her heart. A year ago this would have been easy but now it was stressful.

Tor stood in the doorway, silently glaring at his last message. Finally he gave a rough, heavy sigh, holding down the power button before snapping the phone shut and jamming into his back pocket.

Putting everything else out of his head, he turned the patina’d bronze knob on the old door and pulled, stepping inside as the bright lights and music washed over him.

Ruby continued to follow the sparkle that caught her eye, making her way deeper and deeper into the dark alleyways.  The further she walked the more the territory became unknown to her, but none of that mattered to her. There was a brief pause as she stopped to look around only to have her attention caught once again, and her feet moving on their own to follow the sparkle. 

Tor stuck to the back streets and alleyways, his feet splashing through puddles left over from what may have been a sudden shower the previous night, or possibly from a water-based dust heist gone wrong. There was no way of knowing which it was when it came to Vale, especially this close to Beacon.

It wasn’t too long before he found the right doorway, catching sight of a few faery lights that twinkled only when viewed from the corner of one’s eye. He paused at the entrance, taking his phone out to double check that Ruby hadn’t texted him back. No new messages, meaning no need to tangle himself up in further lies about when he’d be getting off or if he’d be able to call her during his break. It looked like he was in the clear.

Ruby kept to herself as she walked through the back alleyways of the streets, making her way quickly from the school and to the town. She had already forgotten about the issue with Tor as she reached the bar scene.

Yang couldn’t help but laugh at the punches, placing her hands behind her head as she looked down at Nora. “Naw, Ruby left me to do more weapon upgrades. She does it everyday, so I’m out here looking for more fun.” 

“Ah, well then ya’ found her!!” Nora said chipperly, bouncing around the blonde. “So whatcha wanna do today, huh?”

Tor made his way through the streets of Remnant, the collar of his trenchcoat turned up against the wind that came in cool from the sea. Squinting down at his cell phone in the fading light, he tried to tap out a quick message to Ruby. ‘srry babe can’t cum ovr rn. hav 2 wrk’ 

His thumb hovered over the ‘send’ button, his eyes downcast and his lips pressed together into a frown. Finally, with a deep sigh, he pressed down hard, shoving his phone back into his pocket before turning down a narrow alley between two sketchy looking shops. What she didn’t know couldn’t hurt her, and he was going to keep it that way. 

Ruby felt her pocket vibrate, with her whole team in the room with her she knew exactly who it was. She pulled her scroll, a smile on her face as she quickly unlocked it to read the message that she had received.

Her smile had dropped at the words, but she knew he worked, but she still hated when she didn’t  get to spend time with him. Putting her scroll back into her pocket she got up. “I’m going out.” She told her team quickly before leaving. 

rwbyteam:

“Well then, I guess I’ll make myself at home.” Blake moved over on the bed, pulling out some of her books and placing them on her pillow. “Wait does this mean I have to do team things with you?” 

“Only if you feel like it. I assumed you’d only be using our room for sleeping then go about your business with he rest of your team.” He shrugged. “ up to you really, we all have the same classes anyway.”

She gave a nod at the response, running a hand through her hair. There was a soft sigh that slipped from her lips, she was ready to remove her bow but she knew now wasn’t the time for that. 

Velvet nodded and sat down at one of the chairs before she looked over to Yang who was making her way upstair.

Sun was still sound asleep before he heard Yang’s booming voice. He shot up awake and sighed “Yang please…I was cold, I went to ask Ruby where the blankets were and she just pulled me in to cuddle, bothing else” he said as he looked up at her.

“That is the worst lie I’ve ever heard!” Yang yelled out loudly slowly making her way over to the bed to grab Sun.

Yang had spent the day for herself, exploring parts of the school she had never seen and talking to fellow students she had never met. It was quite the journey and one she was glad she took. As she was making her way outside she noticed Ren sitting on a bench, she wasted no time in walking over, a big smile on her face. “A pun would be nice, that’s for sure.” 

@rwbyteam (I mean assuming you want to continue this)

“Well I prefer to be in the back, the quicker I get off, the quicker I can get things done and enjoy the day.” He replied as he soon found a place to stand and watch the lands below them as it would soon pass them by.

“That sure makes sense.” The blonde brawler smiled as she got up from her seat, walking behind him to wrap her arms around his waist. There was a smirk on her face as she rested her chin on his shoulder.
