uhh last monday? and no, i didn't...this tattoo wouldn't have anything to do with the dream then, right? they're a week apart...
yeah it did...i wonder if anyone else got tattoos, like last week? i'm sure we'll find out today.
maybe i should ask bass about it later?
maybe i should ask bass about it later?
Might not be bad to ask about at our group thing, today. Especially at the beginning, when we're gathering evidence.
You could check in with Bass, too. Maybe when things are done.
I know one other person that's got one, but it's not like yours. The same rose as last week, instead.

[ vax is up on the roof this fine evening. he's sitting on the railing of the rooftop, almost perching, his hood pulled up over his head. you'd maybe only be able to tell it's him from his posture and the feathers.
...he's not hiding, necessarily, though, so. company's welcome. ]

[ she will join him in sitting on the railing.
bumps their shoulders together lightly. ]
...hey.

...hey.
[ sad vax...she dislikes this. frowns. ]
I'm managing, just a little frustrated.
[ scoots closer ]
What about you?
I'm managing, just a little frustrated.
[ scoots closer ]
What about you?
[ she will do just that then! ]
I agree...the answers can't always be clear, but it's nice to at least have an idea in the end.
[ sighs ]
I can't help but feel like we failed both of them, even if we did get Marie in the end...it doesn't feel good.
[ but then again. does any of this feel good? no. ]

[ after a moment, vax tips his head and plunks it gently on top of hers. ]
...no. It doesn't. Iunno if catching whoever got 9S would be any better. I doubt they meant to do it.
[ like last week, which he doesn't quite say. ] Not like Marie really meant to, either.

[ frowns ]
You're probably right...but not knowing is still frustrating.
[ hateful ] It's cruel, making people commit murder against their own will. I'm not sure what kind of level of enjoyment it gets from doing that, but regardless...
[ frowns louder, this time angy. ] I hate it.

[ frowns louder, this time angy. ] I hate it.
[ that anger feels familiar. vax feels the same - his emotions have been an internalized torrent for the past two hours, thus his escape to the roof to brood like a bird.
he huffs, softly - ruby will probably be able to feel it. ]
I hate it, too. Hate it for whoever we didn't catch, and for 9S. [ with a little wry not-quite amusement: ] I can't wait to find whatever monster-god-whatever-the-fuck-it-is that's in charge of this place and put a dagger in its throat.

[ she does and she just presses closer.
as much as she wants to be like "holy heck" she would be lying if she said she wasn't feeling the same, in some way.
she puts a hand over his.]
We'll fight this, together, til the very end. None of us are truly alone here, we have each other's back.

[ ruby is ushering vax around the music store, though it looks more like she's dragging him by the arm, but she's just excited! she actually has these back home and the idea of finding music from her home is just!!! ]
When we're done looking through songs from my home, I definitely want to hear some from yours!!
[ she's still got him by the arm, while her free hand holds up a cd with her own face on it. huh...weird.
but what's even stranger is the bubble that appears and approaches them fast. ]
Haven't these bubbles been causing everyone problems??
[ yes. yes they have. and once the bubble has encased them, of course she presses her hand against. and there's a splash of color... ]

[ the first thing you see is your sister.
she looks distant...like her mind is off somewhere else. the last thing you remember is seeing her laying on the ground, next to Blake, right arm messily bandaged up or what was left of it. what happened...a lot, so much happened that day. the day Beacon tower fell...
you call out her to her(28:20-30:20).
and that was the last day you saw her.
you left a note before you took off, dad told you there was no point in going after answers. told you your uncle and others were already on the case, you just needed to stay put. but you didn't listen.
you think of them, often. about dad and Yang, your uncle, and the ones you lost that day...you always think about them. you wonder if they're proud of you and if they'd approve of what you're doing. this is why you write letters.
as your journey turns into weeks and into months, you can't help but think about your sister. how is she doing? does she ever leave her room? has she started training again? she is so strong, there's no way she'd let this stop her...she's the strongest person you know.
there are some hard battles, along the way, and you imagine what it'd be like if she was here. things would be so much easier, wouldn't they be...at least you have uncle Qrow here with you now.
there is a moment of uncertainty. a moment of near loss...Qrow is wounded, poisoned, and it's spreading fast. what do you do! what can you do...
you fight. you fight and you win. you get help and you make it to Haven. everyone is safe.
you're all safe and sound within the walls of Mistral. Qrow is healing and you...you think about everything you've been through since leaving home. but really not a day as gone by that you didn't. so you sit down and you put pen to paper, hoping and praying that these letters make it home(:58-7:36).
you've been at Haven for a few days now, having gotten to talk to the headmaster here, and learned many new things. you even have a new friend! he's good people and you value him as a member of the team, now. what would Yang think of him?
Qrow said he'd be bringing guests, though he didn't say how many, so with the help of Jaune, Ren and Nora, you put together a ton of food! you're not the greatest cook, easily distracted, which Ren points out. but it's fine! because Qrow is back with company! a perfect time for some tea.
this is a reunion. ]

[ this is -
it's a lot. it's a lot, for vax, who was just going to answer ruby something stupid about scanlan, or tease her about her face on the album cover, but... as he's rushed through the memory, one thing stays completely consistent and true.
ruby, and her sister. her family, but her older sister.
as they step free of the memory itself, the bubble melting around them, vax takes a deep breath. there are tears at the corner of his eyes, ones that might have belonged to ruby, but stay for him. for a moment - he wonders if this is what it feels like to be vex, who - even if they're the same age, he's always been the older one, hasn't he? protective. far away. separated, sometimes - now, separated forever.
his heart aches. ]
... [ god. he has to take a deep breath after that, reaching out almost instinctively, hand half curled in the air like he was still hugging yang as ruby - it drops down, though he puts it on her shoulder and gives her a little squeeze. ]
...Glad you got to see her again, Rubes.

[ it certainly is a lot. especially since it's a rather recent memory...things are okay, now, but seeing that again brings back every emotion ruby had been feeling in that moment. it is bittersweet.
there are tears in her eyes, much like there were back then. and she immediately wonders how yang is fairing right now...they've been separated again.
the shoulder squeeze goes half unnoticed, as she presses forward and just. hugs vax. maybe she still sees yang in front of her or maybe she just really needs the hug...maybe it's a little of both.
her voice is quiet and a little muffled. ]
...sorry, I just [ she sniffles, nodding and wiping her tears away. ]
I hope she's okay...

she buries her face into his chest and sobs. ]
