Um, hey there. Ah, Ruby Rose, here. I'm new, but you probably figured that.

[Okay, she's definitely a little bit nervous. Ruby's not exactly what one would call a social butterfly - she definitely got comfortable enough with Beacon to make friends there, but that's not really relevant anymore. Once she had any downtime in Atlas, she didn't know what to do with herself. And now, THIS? Is a lot to adjust to.

She fidgets and clears her throat.] So, got a tiny question, here...

I think I kinda get the whole familiars thing, but mine is, well... it puts me in a bit of an odd place.

Basically, has anyone ever gotten anything that should be a soulless killing machine back in their world? That, I don't know, would've been born in power surrounding your world's greatest evil...? [That, back home, she has a power specifically meant to ERADICATE things like the Grimm, AKA the very form her familiar has taken.] Anything like that?

[She realizes she's being very specific here.]

Because I'll be honest, the fact my familiar isn't trying to eat me, or anyone around me, is almost more unnerving than if he was.

[Ruby taps her head.] I wish I knew someone who used a bow, but I actually don't offhand. Our weapons usually just... turn into guns.

[you're used to guns, right, Chris]

But hey, if you need a hand training with it sometime though, hit me up! I'd be happy to help.

[trustheart]

Into guns. Someone's luckier than I am.

[She huffs. She misses Ichaival's firepower.]

But, uh, thanks. I'll take you up on that the next time I go to train.

[redfightinghood]

...I take it that's something you're more used to than low tech weapons, then?

[She smiles.] But, good! Maybe I could let you take a couple shots with my Crescent Rose.

[trustheart]

... I'd actually be interested in that. I'll take you up on that in the future.

[redfightinghood]

Awesome! I'll keep it in mind.

Heh, I need more people to train with besides my team, anyway.

[trustheart]

I can understand that. It can help you figure out how to fight differently, or explore options you wouldn't attempt otherwise, right?

They tried that back home—mixing up who we teamed up with, I mean. It helped as grow as fighters.

[redfightinghood]

Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I'd imagine I've learned a lot working with teams other than my own, too.

[Including some people they had to just beat down, but that's a whole other topic.]

[trustheart]

I wish there were other teams that could take on some of the stuff we faced, but on most situations it's just the six of us.

... Though uh, I can't really elaborate on that. Some stuff is classified.
