kisses / @meccanisma.

32. forced kiss.

          the chameleon’s ear was peppered was questions from her partner, ‘ what are we doing here ? ’ ‘ what is going on ? ’ ‘ what is this surprise ? ’ and questions of the like. the faunus closed her eyes and released a curt huff, turning to penny after glancing around the corner of the building. they were still being followed. to no end, it irritated ilia how the redhead’s guards ( ? ) were following her around constantly, meaning the reptilian didn’t have much time alone with her unless they were in the dorms. “ i need you to trust me. ” 

          ilia wasn’t certain if the powerhouse was still asking questions or if it was in her head when she peaked the corner again to see if they got any closer. and they were — the reptile could make out one of them talking about hearing something. taking penny’s hand, she darted to the far side of the building in the darkness of the late night so they would be farther away if the guards decided to turn the corner. her heart raced, and though she wouldn’t receive much more than a scolding, she didn’t want penny to get into trouble because SHE convinced her to come along on this excursion.

          the footsteps approached closer. shit. fuck. how can i get her to stop talking ?? no, a hand to the mouth wouldn’t do, she’d keep talking. fuck that. this would be a win-win, though truthfully, this wasn’t how she imagined a first kiss between them.

Thoughts on the character:I LOVE PENNY!!!! PENNY DESERVED BETTER!!!!! I have a super huge amount of fondness for the Good characters the ones that just wanna be Good People whether they have a sad story or not and Penny is just the most precious character in all of RWBY maybe tied with Ruby maybe pulling ahead a tiny bit. 

Have you interacted before:We have I have sent you a variety of stupid asks from Yang and we have a very Good and very pivotal thread going on with Winter and Penny that I luv.

Favorite part of portrayal:ALLL!!!! OF!!!! IT!!!!!!!! Honestly even before Penny showed up when we watched I knew you’d write a flawless Penny and I knew you’d love her and I lowkey hoped you’d end up making her and I’m SO GLAD YOU DID because now my dash is blessed with beautiful Penny content and I can’t thank you enough. 

One piece of advice:More magnets and more cowprints. Yes.

A verse (mine or theirs) I want a thread in:Tbh anything with Yang and Penny would be 👍 especially if she ends up being datemates with Ruby because Yang has a supportive elder sister duty to welcome Penny to the Xiao Long-Rose family with no less than twenty-seven party poppers. 

     “Oh, oh, here it is!” Ruby points to the quaint shop sitting between a coffeehouse and a restaurant. It’s dwarfed by the amount of people passing by and filling in the seats outside the food places, but sure enough, Ruby sees the little bell with a red ribbon hanging above the glass door. Ruby takes Penny’s hand—a feeling still shockingly similar to any organic hand she’s ever held—and tugs her in the direction of the book shop. Ruby swings their hands together with tempo, her legs practically skipping on clouds.

     When they approach the entrance, Ruby takes a moment to admire the new drawing on the chalkboard sign hanging behind the door. It’s got a cartoon figure of what Ruby assumes to be a space soldier holding a plasma gun, posing like the action heroes in comics. Ruby turns to Penny with a grin growing bright as the sun.

     “This is probably my most favorite place in all of Remnant! I’d spend my life here if I could, but, you know, school sucks up your soul and there’s just no way I have enough Lien to buy something every day,” Ruby almost forgets to breathe as she explains, and shakes her head to get the jitters out. “Okay, sorry, I’m rambling. Let’s go inside! I’m sure you’ll find something you like in there, Penny!”

“You’re...a synth too?”

Hushed words gathered nervously on the tip of H2-22′s tongue. Was she a Courser, sent to return him to the Institute? Was she like those in Diamond City, that green jewel in the heart of Mistral, hateful and fearing of those sent to steal them away in the night? He wasn’t like those synths, he wasn’t! They wanted to help the Institute, feed that oil-sick twisted machine. He only wanted to escape.

“I’m...I’m not supposed to talk to anyone on the outside, but...I’ve never met another synth outside of the Institute before.” H2′s head dipped, all false flesh and plastic muscle, hands wringing and feet shuffling in his nervousness. “I’m...-- um...I suppose it doesn’t matter...”

Thoughts on the character:I think about Penny and immediately my heart does the clenchy thing. It’s.... she was such a charming character, I really thought she would be there for the whole ride. She had so much to learn, so much to explore. She was more human than some of the people in the world, and I think Ruby realized that. That’s what makes it so devastating about the tournament, because, even though she was a robot, she probably felt that fear of dying when she watched those strings squeeze her body. I cling to this desperate hope that like Atlas fetches and fixes her and we’ll see her next volume, or whenever they get to Atlas,,,

Have you interacted before:YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS I AM SO GLAD AND SO EXCITED

Favorite part of portrayal:Oh my god, I feel like this is literally what Penny would be like written in prose. Like, I don’t know how you’re doing it, but everything you’ve written for Penny so far is to the T. There’s that beautiful balance between a robot girl who’s still learning the world, and a true genuine soul residing within that metallic body. Your exposition to your threads also make me drop my jaw because it feels like I’m actually read a story...... and I’m writing to add to it!!!!

One piece of advice:YOU TELLING ME WHY IT TOOK US THIS LONG TO MEET BECAUSE YOU ARE AMAZING AND I LOVE TALKING TO YOU

A verse (mine or theirs) I want a thread in:HhhhhmmMM, you know what would be interesting? A soulmates verse. Imagine that, a robot being someone’s soulmate because they have such a big and GOOD SOUL

Ivory was pretty good at understanding people at least on a surface level. She could normally figure out what made a person tick or find out what sort of person they were after watching them for a while.

Then there was Penny Polendina. She was part of the new batch of first years and apparently she was already expressing close ties to General Ironwood through some crazy miracle. She would normally have chalked this up to good old-fashioned Atlesaen nepotism but she was excelling at everything. Tests, field record, combat score... it was all perfect. Not near perfect. Perfect. That last part bothered her more than a little. With Pyrrha Nikos famously going to Beacon and Weiss Schnee following soon afterward, Ivory was rumored to be one of the school’s aces in the hole for the Vytal Festival. Then Penny had to show up and overshadow it all.

emerald reads them as so its like “have u seen my fire arrows fire emerald” and she’s like “wait i cant fire myself” and ofc “im trying to get some fire fire practice for the fire fight fire tomorrow” like Look
