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!

[ 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.

[rwbyrose]

I know a handful of people who used spears. I've never tried it myself, buuuut if you need any tips on wielding things, let me know!

[ wielding things... ]

Crescent Rose and I can show you a few tricks! [ she pats on the scythe that's hoisted onto her back. ]

[transfusionem]

I'd appreciate it! Every little bit counts, right?

[She'll become OP. It'll be great.]

But first time we spar, you gotta go easy on me, okay?

[rwbyrose]

You know it!

[ ruby probably won't. i'm so sorry. ]

Maybe we can plan for sometime after prom?

[transfusionem]

[Adelaide deserves it.]

That'd be great! We can have prom, kick the Herald's ass, and then we can go toe to toe!

[rwbyrose]

Sounds like a plan! ... So, what's all this about a Herald? I was told about it when I got here, but I don't really know the details.

[transfusionem]

Apparently he's like...real bad news. A big figure in the upcoming Nightfall, so...Obviously we've got to take him out, stop him from making everything worse.

[She sighs.]

It's just a lot.

[rwbyrose]

Hmm.

[ she seems to contemplate this for a moment, then: ]

I think we can do it.
