       Out of all the people from Remnant Pyrrha expected to see, Penny was one of the last she’d expect. Seeing her ginger curls -- longer than what she remembered -- bouncing behind her as the girl skipped along minding her business had the huntress to be frozen in place. It felt as if the breath had been sucked out of her lungs, much like it had when...

     She hadn’t known. Of course she hadn’t known because had she known, she would have never used her Semblance like she had. Then again, seeing all those sharp weapons aimed right at her. In the moment, Pyrrha hadn’t seen any other way to escape. She would have been killed. However in protecting herself, she had killed another. A friend. 

     Pyrrha called out without thinking. “Penny... Penny..!”

          “You... You’re the girl from the tournament.“

     Adam didn’t idly waste his time during the time leading up to the Fall of Beacon. He watched the battles taking place, patiently waiting for the moment Cinder would initiate the attack. Just like countless others that day, Adam saw the poor girl dismembered in the blink of an eye. Had she just been another human, it was very likely that the bitter Faunus wouldn’t have felt a shred of sympathy. However, the discovery of her being a machine didn’t make it so easy for him to ignore. The first question that came to mind was how she was standing here once again...

     But given his own situation, such a question would be unnecessary.

She could never forget this girl’s face.

No matter how much time passed, no matter what challenges Pyrrha faced, she would never forget Penny. After all, this was the girl Pyrrha killed on stage, and was the catalyst for the fall of Beacon. Pyrrha was responsible for both things, even if her friends had told her otherwise. She would still be up late each night, picturing Penny’s face in her final moments. But this wasn’t a memory, this was actually her. In person.

Pyrrha had to approach her, to tell her everything that happened. If she was anything like Pyrrha she wouldn’t know what happened, and Pyrrha wanted to be the one to tell her she was responsible. She wanted to apologize for everything, and to offer Penny anything she could as an apology. If that meant her life could be forfeit as a possibility, she would accept that. As long as it made Penny feel comfortable. She reached out, tapping the other girl on the shoulder twice.

“Excuse me, madam.” She’s really new here and new to all this tech like her smartphone. Surely it was already been in her hands before she got here in Spirale. Laegjarn decided to gain a little help on gadgets like this in her hands so that she knows what to do when she’s on her own, which is why she goes near the girl.

animals have never liked nico much, and often enough, the feeling is mutual. he’s pretty sure it’s part of the whole son of the lord of the dead thing-- the stench and aura of death just follows him, even though most humans don’t pick up on it. that being said, living beings in general don’t seem to like him much; it was only recently that the other demigods at camp halfblood seemed to fully accept him, his... secret included.

he wonders how they’re doing, that they’re okay. he wonders if they miss him. if they’re looking for him. how his dad feels...

one of the “netpups” nearby approaches nico and pushes it’s head into his hand, although it’s fairly awkward considering the fact that it’s head is... well, a tablet. it startles nico from his thoughts, and he reaches to scratch the dog around it’s scruff instead, much to the pup’s enjoyment.

“Hey! Hey! Stop!” She’s a little frantic, tripping over her feet and desperately trying to get this girl’s attention before she walks any further. Things seem okay, quiet and rather peaceful, besides the low hum of the thing Miriam is desperately trying to get attention about. 

"S-Sorry for bumping into you! I didn’t see you there.“
