no subject
Sooooo. Is that one of those things that happened which I'm not supposed to acknowledge happened?
no subject
No-Yea-I mean I have no idea what you're talking about.
...Unless you were really charmed by it in which case I guess you can acknowledge it.
no subject
no subject
Ack-Yeah. Because that's what you are and it's cute, okay! You work it. It's definitely endearing. I promise.
And Penny's been reading a lot of cheesy romance novels and I was just trying to be dumb and apparently outdid myself because I actually called you
no subject
...Thanks? I think?
[It still sounds kinda insulting, Ruby.]
She has, huh? Is there a reason or is she just doing it as a hobby?
no subject
It's a... work in progress still. Kind of why I'm super embarrassed this went through. I'll figure it out better next time?
[She's trying. She's trying so hard.]
Well she started dating this girl, Larxene, and I think she's trying to impress her. It's kind of adorable but super cheesy. She's trying.
But! Moving on.
I talked to that Jon guy about the Spider thing in the Great Sleep. That went pretty okay.
I told him to talk to a friend of mine who's also seen it, but she seemed to get along with it in there.
no subject
Ohhhh. Okay, that- I guess that makes sense?
[Is reading romance books a pre-requisite of dating? Because he has not done that at all. Ah, and here it was. Jon spoke to her. He kind of feels bad keeping some of his thoughts to himself on this one- especially after they promised no more secrets. But this would harm Fern horribly if he's got this wrong. He has to be utterly, completely sure before he says anything. ]
Someone else has seen it too? And great. Thanks for that. I'm- I'm still trying to work stuff out. As soon as I'm certain, I'll let you know.
no subject
I think so? I don't know. Blake was really into them when we were in school. I've never really given them the time of day. I'm more into adventure stories myself.
But Penny's been having fun with them and they seem silly. I had to indulge her a little.
[Ruby's none the wiser to anything being held from her. Luna and Jon hadn't divulged the connection between the spider and Fern to her either. She was blissfully unaware at the moment.]
Yeah. I had talk to my friend Luna about it not too long after it happened. She said it had been friendly with her. ...I don't know if she's one of the people it was saying it was trying to protect or not. It hadn't said anything like that to her.
I asked Jon to keep an eye out on the both of you if you were looking further into this.
If Luna's getting involved I want you to promise me you'll look out for each other too. Or call me if things get dicey. You're both my friends and I don't want to anything to happen if you end up rubbing that thing the wrong way.
no subject
Same here. With the adventure stories. But hey, if ti makes her happy, I guess there's no harm.
[Ah, Luna. That makes sense, she's Ferns friend. Probably the closest friend Fern has in Deerington along with himself. It makes sense the... whatever it is would like her. Maybe that means it would like him? Assuming what he thinks is true, anyway. That the thing that attacked Ruby and the thing in Fern's head are one in the same.
...It's looking horribly likely, though. ]
I promise we'll look out for each other, okay? I'm not planning on dealing with any of this by running into danger without a plan. That's why I'm trying to figure out as much as I can beforehand. I need to know what I'm facing. I'll be as safe as I can be.
no subject
Exactly. If the whole house gets caught up in it maybe there'll be something to worry about.
[She gives a faint little nod at that.]
That's all I ask. If more of my friends are getting pulled into it I just want to be sure you guys are set up for success.
You find out anything new about it on your end?
And you should probably send Luna a message sometime. She seemed pretty delighted to find out your an alchemist. She apparently had a class for that in school. She's pretty big on magic though, just for a heads up.
no subject
[Unless one of them wakes up and goes home tomorrow. No, don't think like that.]
I would pay real money to see your uncle or sister acting like someone in a romance novel.
Nothing I'm 100% on yet. I promise I'm not trying to keep anything from you. I just- I need to be sure. Fern's told me good things about Luna, too. It can't hurt to get to know her. I don't do magic, but I'm sure there's at least a marginal crossover between what we do.
no subject
[It's definitely not something she wants to think about right now.]
Oh my gosh. That would be amazing! Uncle Qrow is pretty great at impressions so it might be a real hoot.
[Ruby drunken sass is not an impression. They're different. She gives a small nod at that.]
Okay, okay. I didn't think you were. I trust you, Varian. When you know what's going on just keep in the loop.
Well I'm sure one of us could introduce the both of you sometime. Then you'll have an alchemy buddy.
Yay.
no subject
[But maybe Qrow has hidden layers. Deep, deep hidden layers.]
I will. I don't want to leap to any conclusions. Not yet.
It would be pretty nice to have an alchemy buddy. You guys are all great but it would be nice to talk to someone I wouldn't bore to death with it all.
no subject
[You know how extra Ruby is in a fight? Qrow's worse.]
That's fair. Leave jumping to conclusions to me. I'm pretty pro at it.
I only fell asleep the one time! One time!
[It was more than one time.]
...But I see your point. Well I can always see if she's free if you want to hang out sometime.
no subject
[He raises his hand in the air, fingers spread.]
Five times. It's been fives times.
[He keeps count Ruby. Still, he's smiling, he clearly finds this amusing. ]
Sure. I'd like to meet her.
no subject
[Wow. Her jaw drops aghast. This is not fair.]
No way! It can't be five times! I would have remembered falling asleep that many times.
[It's definitely been five times. With big drool trails along his work bench each time.]
I'll see what I can do!
no subject
[He offers a smug smile.]
It has absolutely been five times. I counted.
no subject
Triple threat, my friend!
[It's amazing how fast she can go from gushing about her uncles weapon to giving Varian a flustered glare.]
Pics or it didn't happen.
no subject
[Why is Remnant like this? Regardless, he vanishes for a moment, then suddenly:
Trienemybest is uploading a photo
Yeah. There's a pic. There's Ruby, sleeping and drooling on his workbench.]
I had a feeling I'd need to defend myself one day.
no subject
[Which is disappointing in her opinion but it's probably better that they have no Grimm.
Ruby let's out a startled gasp when the picture comes her way.]
Seriously!? Wow, I can't believe I set myself up like this. Way to betray me, me.
I really just kind of sprawled out on there, didn't I? Kind of a miracle that you could work around me like that.
no subject
[Corona is in enough of a mess without adding Grimm to the mix, thanks. He chuckles, clearly pleased with himself.]
You stabbed yourself in your own back. Tragic. And it's okay, I'm used to working around Ruddiger. You were easy. You snorted a couple of times in your sleep. It was adorable.
no subject
Even if magic is kind of weird.
[She might get lost in the crowd with all those optimistic types though.
There are more embarrassing things she could be caught doing. But she doesn't mind the teasing so she's willing to go along with this.]
Et tu, me? That's the phrase, right?
Pffffft, Must have been a good dream. Probably involved some dorky alchemy guy being a nerd.
no subject
[What with the indestructible DEATH ROCKS and the whole celestial bodies given form thing going on and all.]
Et tu, Brute. It's from Julius Ceasar. It's a play based on a historical event on Earth. An emperor was murdered and his best friend, Brutus was one of the people doing the stabbing. "Et tu, Brute?" is Latin for "and you, Brutus?". Basically it's what the emperor said when he realised his best friend had turned on him with everyone else.
[Don't you feel like you've LEARNED something today, Ruby? At her comment, he smiles shyly, rubbing the back of his neck.]
Heh. Yeah, maybe.
no subject
[Look. She knows how he feels about magic. ...And she's still getting used to it being a thing in her world.]
Oh? So I actually used it right, huh? I mean aside from the name. That's awesome! Go me!
Wow. Uh. His friend sounds like a real jerk, not going to lie.
[She's learning!!!!!!!
She can't help but smile seeing that she's got him embarrassed.]
Not that I'm an expert or anything. You can never tell what that girls thinking about.
no subject
[And he does not. ]
Yup, you did. You got the right context, go you. And honestly, he was a pretty corrupt emperor. The friend had his reasons.
[But corrupt people in rule is a touchy subject for him so just sliiiding around that.]
She's a mystery all unto herself, huh?
