[When the video feed clicks on, it reveals a blonde teenager with a lot of hair, holding it up selfie-style, perched in a chair at a coffee shop somewhere, her legs propped up on another chair across from her and a large coffee resting on the edge of the table. She has a large piece of paper crumpled up in her lap, but she's looking at the camera. She gives a big smile and a friendly wave.]

Well they said we can use this to talk to everybody else who got so...Hey! I'm Yang! I guess it's nice to meet all of you, I mean, we're all in this crazy thing together, right?

[She stops to take a sip of her drink.] Though I guess it's not that crazy. Except for the whole 'other world' part, that's pretty wild. But the powers thing, they acted like that was weird.

Maybe it's weird for everybody else. Was it weird for all of you? Do most people seriously not have a semblance here? Or an aura? Everybody has an aura.

I guess that part is kinda weird.

Anyway! Iiiii've got a couple questions. About something much stranger than all that. Well. One question. No, two. Okay, first off, if anybody's seen a girl in a bright red cape, goes by Ruby Rose, let me know? She's my little sister.

[She sets her coffee down and picks up the crumpled up paper, which upon closer inspect is a map! Of the area around Maurtia Falls, probably the kind you would buy in a gas station.]

Second! The big weird question. Once I get a bike somehow, and I just hop on it and drive, you know, past whatever barriers are around these cities. Go like fifteen, twenty miles out. Is it really, actually, completely safe out there?

[She says this like it should be stranger.]

No grimm? No wrecked cities or old ruins?

'Cause that sounds kind of amazing. Big safe world. [A beat and she grins.] But also really boring.

[ Well, this is some deja vu, isn't it? He hadn't gotten to know Yang very well when she was here last, but it seems like she doesn't remember...

He decides not to say anything about it. ]

I have to admit, it was a bit of a shock technology-wise. The networks here aren't at all what I'm used to. But I don't think I've ever had to deal with semblances or auras.

[She can so do texting.]

Well they aren't something you would 'deal' with. But like, what protects you if somebody attacks you?

You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge. There have been other people from your world here, so I did learn about the use of Dust, but...other than that, I have no idea. [ He completely fails to mention that the 'other person' he speaks of is Yang herself. ]

Most people don't attack me since I'm over six feet in this body. But if all else fails, I have a sword. That usually does it.

Who's been here from Remnant? Where can I find them?

[Other questions suddenly less important!]

I believe they went home some time ago, actually, so they're no longer here. But I think that having one person from a world here increases the possibility of more appearing, so you may have company sooner or later.

Oh.

[There's a bit of a delay.]

Anyway. So being big isn't going to stop a bullet though. What protects you if somebody shoots you? Without an aura.

Edited 2016-01-06 00:26 (UTC)

Not being in front of the bullet, mostly...? [ He's not going to explain his powers too much. ~~He's lazy.~~ ] They can't shoot you if you're not there.

I guess that works till it doesn't.

You can deflect bullets with a sword, too. I have other powers, but the sword is the one with the most intimidation factor.

Yeah. I guess I'm just used to taking the hit but keep going. So what's your name, anyway?

The people are pretty run of the mill here except for, you know, the superhero guys and gals...
I guess you're new?
Dunno about any Ruby Roses but I'll keep an eye out.
Name's Rose and I will be your guide, ask a question and its answer you shall receive!

The superhero thing does sound pretty cool. I might have to look into that. Yeah. Just showed up yesterday. And thanks. Ruby can take care of herself but if she's here I'd like to know it anyway. Okay, so, seriously, is it safe outside of the cities?

My name is Magicman.

I'm aware it's a strange name, so I'll take any questions you have.

Magicman. So, your name is a title? Did you have to earn it? Were you just called man before?

Not a clue, never tried!
Sounds like the great premise for an adventure.
The wind at your back, the sun beginning to set.
One girl... one bike... and the open road...

[ rose is not very helpful, clearly. ]

Man that does sound amazing. I just need to figure out this bike thing. Then I am so doing this. You've never gone outside the city? How long have you been here?

Bike thing? Is it broken?
Oh, yeah, been here since... November?
Don't really leave the area much!
Probably time for a vacation.

[ without her friends and family she's mostly been interacting with people over the network and her housemates but her reasons for going outside nonah have been few and far between. needing a vacation was no understatement. ]

No, it's just back on Remnant. So I have to get a new one. Or hope I'm right about this other thing they listed as a power. Dunno how it'll work though. Wow. That's like, the first thing I wanted to do. Are you a homebody?

No, that's always been my name - it's not a title. I'm not human, for the record.

It would be an odd kind of world if I was just called 'man', I'd think.

Oh. Are you a faunus? It's cool if you are, one of my best friends is a faunus.

Just keep at it and you'll get it eventually.
I mean, I haven't really tried out my power yet.
Maybe we could train our powers together, or something?
And what's a homebody?

Sure, that sounds cool. Can you fight? They have mine listed, the extra one, as 'summon bumblebee' and that's what I call my bike so. Hopefully it's not just a swarm of bees or something. You know. Somebody who likes to stay home instead of go on adventures.

[ What is a faunus... ] I'm not sure what a faunus is, but I'll assume from the way you're speaking that they're somewhat disliked. That's a shame.

No, I'm an artificial intelligence. In a human body right now, but not all the time, thankfully.

Yeah. People can be pretty terrible... Oh. Like a talking computer?

Definitely NOT me!!!!!
I went on a long and boring journey through lots of boring ruins!!!

In my spare time I used to travel across the country running a merchant's guild.
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but we were the best.

PS. I can hold my own in a fight, so we can spar.

[ she doesn't need to put a PS in a text but she's still learning the ways.

and deep down she had a fun time with sorey and co. but no matter what the whole ruins thing was not... her thing. ]
