text | un: stormflower | Locked from Jaune Arc

[sleepinglotus]

Jaune's birthday is January 6th.

We had a fairly large party for Ruby's birthday. Would anyone be willing to help me set one up for Jaune? I'm hoping to reach out to other friends he's made outside of those of us from Remnant.

ah hell
that made my night to hear shes still here too
shes good people
damn sorry i missed her birthday though
dont know your other friend but if you need a short notice dj im your man other than that i dont know how to plan for birthday parties

[sleepinglotus]

Oh, you're a friend of Ruby's. Excellent.

Jaune and I are teammates of hers, and former classmates from Beacon.

I'm sure she wouldn't mind a belated message, though.

A DJ would be wonderful, actually.

[itsknighttime]

more like acquaintance met her too shortly before i got un-kidnapped
shes pretty fucking dope

oh shit okay
i might have the balls to do that one day
the message i mean
i believe you saying your a posse and that wouldnt have anything to do with me having or not having the balls to say something to someone

anyway

aight count me in what kinda theme you looking for? or is it dealers choice?

[sleepinglotus]

Well I can promise you that isn't something that would break a friendship with someone like Ruby.

I don't know about "posse" so much as team.

I'll leave that up to you.

[itsknighttime]

i hope not like i said she seemed really cool and we share a few common interests
you wanna take a guess at at least one of them?
spoilers its red

okay we didnt get that far where team was a thingish kind of from memory at least
what game are yall playing?

you got it im going to have that place jumping
hands in the air
panties on the stage
you name it

[sleepinglotus]

Knowing what I do about Ruby, my first inclination to say weapons like her scythe, but I could easily be wrong there.

[If she didn't get to explaining why they were a team, though, she may not have gotten around to gushing about Crescent Rose as she often does.]

Not a sports team. We were training to be Huntsmen and Huntresses, before Beacon was destroyed. She was the leader of Team RWBY, I was part of Team JNPR. Jaune, Nora and I traveled with Ruby for a while as well, though we never really did agree completely on a team name.

... are the panties a requirement? Or can we forego that part?

[itsknighttime]

oh shit no i meant the color red
damn she likes scythes?
dude
okay what other kinda things does she like?

nah not a sports team but that answers more of my questions i had lined up
i remember a bit of something like this i think
honestly my memories are spotty this place was a fond feeling by the time i got nabbed again
so you guys are badasses hunting and huntressing
what are you guys hunting and huntressing?

i dunno man im not the one whos going to wear them
i cant promise what the music holds but ill do my best to hold back the clamouring crowds

[sleepinglotus]

I'm legitimately surprised she didn't show Crescent Rose off. Clearly you two need to catch up.
She likes strawberries. And cookies.

Grimm. And the occasional criminal.

I'll take your word for it on that.

[itsknighttime]

i dunno
maybe she just didnt wanna whip it out on the first not date
strawberries and cookies
what about strawberry cookies?

[[Dave does not know how to make those. Not in the least. He's betting he knows who does though.]]

whoa whoa whoa
hard pause
grimm like my man grimm? please dont tell me youre hunting moths with coolass mask looking faces
i think youre cool and id hate to have to throw hands to defend my boy

[[My boy is the code word for the closest thing to a father figure he's had since Bro was here.]]

[sleepinglotus]

Haha. That's a good point!
Not sure about strawberry cookies but I imagine that would be something she'd at least want to try.

No no, I've met Grimm - the being named Grimm that is. They're fine. Unfortunately the soulless creatures on Remnant who cause problems are also called Grimm.

[itsknighttime]

hmm okay time to find out if by our power combined weve not only become captain planet but were in the goods to figure out a cool thing for them
i got a friend who knows everything ever and can probably help
you want some when i figure this shit out?

[[Dave she does not know everything ever, but no one can ever convince him that Angela doesn't know everything, isn't the most angelic of people and also doesn't cure cancer with her smile. Save yourself with a generalized no, good sir.]]

oh fuck
whew
shit bro my heart
grimm is a homie id put the justice out for you know? but shit man yeah okay soulless creatures sound more shitty than the dad of the year
guessing with a name as badass as that their reps pretty dangerous
the soulless ones grimm the guy is already badass

[sleepinglotus]

I'm always up for trying new things.

[Amusingly Ren has had some conversations with Angela as well, though they've yet to actually meet in person.

Something that he needs to rectify at some point if only so she can love on his puppy, Tadashi.]

We've talked about the problems of my world a bit. I don't have any intention of harming him.
Grimm are incredibly dangerous. They are attracted to negative human emotions and have been the demise of many small towns and villages without Huntsmen or other protection against them.

[itsknighttime]

ay cool man
im gonna put aside some for you when we get that shit together

[[Angela is mom forever. She is one of the people he trusts most here, anyone she trusts, he trusts. This will go swimmingly. Plus a dog, anyone good with dogs is good with Dave too. His pushy... friend. girl. Is also part dog.]]

no worries im gonna trust it
we cool bro
alright yeah figured they were bad news
so yall go around and beat the shit out of soulless creatures to save the other people who arent?

[sleepinglotus]

[Tadashi is best dog. Big stocky fluffy boy who is only going to get bigger, but who is also very chill.]

Essentially, yes. Not everyone has the wherewithal to become a Huntsman so it's all the more important that we train hard and do our best for the people of Remnant.

[itsknighttime]

[[This sounds like the goodest of boys and the loyalest of fluffs. A good doggo that deserves pets. Just manly pets, totally.]]

that makes sense
so is it rare or is it at least enough where youre not fighting a losing battle?

[sleepinglotus]

[Tadashi will always accept pets.]

I wouldn't say a losing battle so much as a consistent one.

[He'd rather not bring up all the stuff with Salem.]

[itsknighttime]

[[Prepare.]]

jesus
its shit like this that makes me wonder why theyd pull people like all you guys out of the situation youre fighting hard for
the fuck goes through someones mind when they take people who got a purpose? i cant put my finger on this fucking place

[sleepinglotus]

I think because we return from the time we were taken, it doesn't affect the outcome of whatever someone is dealing with at that exact moment.

At least that's what I've been told. I'm truly hoping that is the case, given our current objectives...

[itsknighttime]

now this i can actually help with
sit down im going to explain or you can skip it and we talk about cookies again

every time someone takes someone else puts themselves in or creates an alternate timeline in some way by removing someone from it
they stand to fuck it up big time
i mean big fucking time
ive seen myself dead more times than i can hold the limes
like being a literal guy who does time shit from what im getting from you im sure your timeline is fine or you would have gotten word from several timelines with as many buddies as you have here
im guessing what theyre doing is some how slowing time to a standstill theres no way to pause it and fucking up now and again when they send us back

[sleepinglotus]

[He's already sitting, but thank you for the warning.]

That's actually a great deal more information than I've gotten before, thank you.

Everyone from Remnant that's here remembers more or less the same details I do, so it's safe to assume that we're all from the same timeline.

[itsknighttime]

no problem its what i do
may as well help

then id say you matrix dodged a series of bullets
but anyway back to parties and not impending doom
anything specific i should know?

[sleepinglotus]

It certainly seems that way. Not sure how we all got so lucky but I absolutely won't complain.

Ah, well. I got a suggestion for a themed party.

[itsknighttime]

nah no reason to until anythings confirmed and it hasnt been so
yeah
anyway
what theme?

[sleepinglotus]

Heroes?

I remembered his favorite movie is The Huntsman Rises. It seemed like a good thing to go off of.

[Also he realized he actually doesn't know much about Jaune's likes and dislikes.]

[itsknighttime]

heroes sounds like a good damn theme man
gonna be a formal or you gonna tell all your guests to get out the spandex banana hammocks?

[[Never a better time to find out. Covertly, be the ninja.]]
