Heeelloooo Daybreak Academy! My name is Ruby Rose and I arrived today from the USA!

And today happens to be the day before PROM!!! Crazy timing, right?

Soooo, I was wondering if anyone would mind showing me where the nearest dress shop is? And maybe even help me pick out something to wear? Pretty please with a Maraschino cherry on top? <3

I promise I'll find a way to pay you back! I'll even save a dance for you tomorrow night, and I've been told my dancing is pretty awesome!!!!

Thank you very much for listening! Er...reading!

Hello fellow American! You got here right on time!

I'm not really good at fashion, but I know a few of the shops in the area if you still need help!

[rwbyrose]

Ooooooh! What part of America are you from?

And I'm covered now, thanks! But I could sure use a tour guide anyway if you're still up for it?

[transfusionem]

Texas! What about you?

Sure! I'd be happy to show you around!

[rwbyrose]

California!

And yaaaay, awesome! We're gonna have SO much fun!!!!

What dorm are you in?

[transfusionem]

Oh, awesome!

It'll be great! And I'm in Aube. I'll meet you outside?

[rwbyrose]

Aube's best dorm!! And yep! I'll be right on downstairs, just look for the girl with red in her hair!

[transfusionem]

Alright!

[And Adelaide makes her way downstairs! She's pretty obvious, once she's outside. Tall, pale, with dark hair tied back in braids. She spots who she thinks must be Ruby, and jogs over with a wave.]

Hey!

[rwbyrose]

[ she's tall, nearly as tall as her dad is. ruby looks up and waves at her, meeting her halfway. ]

Hiya! You're from the network, right?

[transfusionem]

Yeah! Wellcooked - though it feels weird saying that out loud...

[She laughs, sheepish.]

My name's Adelaide, though.

[rwbyrose]

And I'm Ruby! Though I think you already knew that, doesn't hurt to say it again.

[ she clasps her hands together, then: ]

So... Where to first, Tour Guide Adelaide?

[transfusionem]

Well, what kind of stuff are you most interested in? Do you want to see the city, or just stick to the campus?

[Though calling Soleil a city is probably generous.]

[rwbyrose]

Weeeelll, I got to see a little of Soleil earlier...so how about a campus tour?

[transfusionem]

Alright! [Where to first...Adelaide claps her hands together, before heading off in the direction of the Mythril Cage.] Hopefully this won't be too boring!

[rwbyrose]

Nope. [ she shakes her head. ] It'll be fine, I know it! We can always chat along the way, too?

[transfusionem]

Of course! [She laughs.] How are you enjoying France so far? It's pretty different from America...

[rwbyrose]

Yup, it is! It's colder here, but I don't really mind it. And everyone I've met so far's been really, really nice!

[transfusionem]

The cold is kind of nice! It's way better than spending the summer melting... [She laughs.] But the people here are great. It's one of the best parts!

[rwbyrose]

Uh-huh! Summer gets reaaaal hot in California. ... Well, it's kinda just hot year round, but you know what I mean!

[transfusionem]

I can imagine! It gets pretty hot in Texas, too. [Obviously.

She stops outside the doors to the Mythril Cage, motioning broadly.]

Anyways! This is the Mythril Cage. It's basically, like, the training grounds? You can practice here, spar here, all that kind of stuff.

[rwbyrose]

[ ooh, neat! ruby's eyes light up a little when she mentions sparring. ]

Ooh, this is perfect! There's plenty of space for me to practice my fireballs! Hehe, that was what I was the most worried about...

[transfusionem]

Yeah, you'll have tons of space! And the place seems to be made with, you know, fireballs in mind so you don't even have to worry about burning the place down.

[rwbyrose]

Really?!

[ oh no. her eyes are sparkling. ]

This is awesome! Somewhere where I can train without holding back! And this time I won't burn part of a forest down!

[ uM ]

[transfusionem]

Yeah!

[Seems she made the right choice of bringing Ruby here, first.

But, UM...]

Way less disasters training here, for sure! Maybe we can spar some time, too?

[rwbyrose]

[ ohoho. at that, ruby flashes her a bright smile. ]

I was kinda hoping you'd say that.

[ there's a certain glint in her eye, one of intrigue and curiosity...but also competition. ]

What's your specialty, Adelaide?

[transfusionem]

Well, I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at anything yet, but...

[She understands that competitive spirit. Adelaide can't deny she's got a bit of it herself, though it's a bit more muted, now.]

Lately I've been trying to get a handle on spears.
