Multiverse Rising (Always in need of New Friends)

Ruiko Saten - Nova's Palace, Arcadia-1

Any worry that Ruiko had about the falling ship was arrested as Nova once again displayed those astounding powers of his, the explosion wiped away like it had never been there and the people on the ship recovered in the process, alive and well. It was so fast one might blink and miss it, and it was once again too impressive to describe, even compared to the gate that he had created earlier.

That left her with a choice, and one that she felt pressing on her mind. Nova wanted her to go to Switzerland, to recover a terminal from a dangerous foe that was apparently there. Apparently it was one that would prove a challenge even for Nova himself, and she shuddered to think of what that meant. It provided a reason for why she took so long to decide, coupled with the events that went on around her.

As Nova found out that his Throne could turn people in Chibis, Ruiko at last reached her decision. "I'll go," she told him, moving to join the others at the entrance to the Eternity Gate. She wanted to prove herself, to finally help others just like she had wanted when she first took the Level Upper. She would not miss this opportunity if she could help it. So she stood poised and altert, ready to go.

Ahsoka Tano - Eastgate City, Arcadia-2

It wasn't long until the group came to a stop, deciding to take a break. Ahsoka could have walked on for a while longer, but she would rest for the same of the group, who seemed like they needed it. Certainly she could feel that tension in the air, and sense dark tidings in the Force. What they had escaped from, they had not seen the last of it. That much was obvious to tell.

Approached by Gojirah, she nodded in turn. "I do," she confirmed, glancing around. She would definitely make that a priority, since otherwise it seemed like they wouldn't have any money at all. And without that, they would be fairly out of luck, wouldn't they?

She was about to walk off when there was suddenly a loud crash, someone slamming into the ground and making a crater in the process. Yet after a few moments the person revealed herself to be light, and also revealed herself to be perfectly intact, at least by physical appearances. "Are you alright," Ahsoka asked as she walked over. "That looked like quite the fall."

So, are we not doing the time skip after all? Or has it already happened and I missed it?

I have....one person with a funny hat, lying around somewhere. She's also a bit crazy.

You should have let us know when you had the post up in the first place ;p

RWBY: The Last Dawn

Dawn Agresta - Beacon Cliff - Tuesday morning

at last the time had arrived for Initiation and she had set off with everyone else, gear collected, mind and body warmed up, and breakfast had in the meanwhile. She hadn't talked with many people, but that was understandable given how nervous everyone was, or otherwise eager to see what would happen with all of this. She knew that she had started to really wonder, and as it drew near her own anticipation increased in turn.

Arriving at the cliff, she took up her position on one of the pads that seemed to wait for them. At that point she devoted her attention to listening, especially as they gave out instructions for what was to happen, and how the Initiation itself would take place. The task itself seemed simple enough, albeit difficult in its own way. They just has to find some Dust crystals and get to the end of the forest. That was easy enough, especially for the people they were asking it of.

She was, on the other hand, far more skeptical of the team selection process. Really, they were going to go with something as arbitrary as 'the first person you see'? How would that even work from an administrative perspective? They'd need to have the entire forest bugged, or simply rely on the honors system to make it worked. And while admittedly the latter might be true, it did defeat the point of the instructions in the first place, so far as she could tell anyway.

Sadly, it seemed she had no say in the matter, but for the moment it was irrelevant as things started happening. Specifically, it turned out that those pads they were standing on were actually giant catapults of some kind, which sent each student launching in turn. Fortunately she wasn't first in line so she had the chance to brace herself, Stern Iron and her notebook on her person and ready to go.

In a moment she was flung into the air, sent flying over the forest in a way that she was fairly certain defied all natural laws in the process. At least she hadn't lost her notebook, and with that she turned to her landing strategy. Reaching out, she held Stern Iron in a firm grip, letting the tips catch the stronger branches that whipped by, which served as impromptu hooks. She spun and flipped, diverting her momentum in upwards directions as she descended, until at last she landed on the ground.

The Emerald Forest most definitely lived up to its name, she decided as she glanced around. Thus far there was no one in sight, though she had to imagine there was at least one person nearby. With the amount that had been sent off it would be hard for that to not be the case.

Well, there was no point in sticking around here. So after brushing off her shoulders she holstered Stern Iron and began to walk through the forest. Time to get this over with.

Pokemon – Reformed

Leaving Hunter to have some common sense and not overwork himself, Kevin left what he was doing behind and followed after Terra, as she led him through the streets of Lavaridge. He figured that she knew the best places to relax in this place, so he was willing to follow her, at least for the moment.

Soon enough they arrived at a small cafe, Terra taking a seat at one of the outdoor tables and gesturing for him to do the same. Kevin did feel a momentary pang of longing for air conditioning or something similar, but he wouldn't voice such complaints to his host. A nice cold drink would work just as well.

"I'll just have some ice water," he told the waitress once she had come over, before turning to address Terra's question. "I'm from Saffron City, in Kanto," he told her matter of factly. "As for why, I wanted to go somewhere with greater individual opportunity." It was true enough, though he would leave the important parts unsaid for the moment. She didn't need to know about that, and hopefully she wouldn't suspect a thing.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

Dawn Agresta - Beacon Courtyard - Tuesday Morning

It had been an early morning for Dawn, she would admit. Perhaps it had simply been the gathering of all the people there, or her nerves had finally gotten to her, but she had found it somewhat difficult to sleep, and as a result she had gotten less than she would have liked to. It had led to an early awakening, though she had noticed that she was not the only one to get up at an early hour, compared to the rest of the class. But she supposed that it was to be expected, given such a diverse group.

Picking up her things, she made her way outside, past somebody lounging around by the door, and into one of the exterior courtyards. Her bag was laid on the ground before she removed Swift Iron from their holsters, revealing the dual machine pistol tonfa to the outside world. She flipped them about, examining them and making sure that they were in excellent condition, like when she had left for Beacon.

Fortunately, they were. These were her weapons, which her brother had helped her to make, and she treasured them for that. They were good for defensive fighting, melee combat, and they provided her with ranged capabilities as well. Plus, they were simple, compared at least to the absurd combo weapons that people could pull out and that she had seen. There was something comforting about it, since it meant that less could go wrong.

Notepad left lying on her bag, she held a tonfa in each hand as she stepped to the middle of the green grass, settling into a combat stance. After a deep breath she began, getting in some exercise to warm up before the Initiation began. She went through a routine of blocks, kicks, stabs, and flipping her tonfa so they could be used as guns, all while working up a sweat in the meanwhile. Whatever happened, she would be ready for it.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

This might be the sort of thing Dawn would be willing to write about and then 'accidentally' leave lying out for someone to find.

First thing about the rule of cool - Don't talk about being coll (or wanting to be cool xP)

At any rate, I can already discern this whole situation is going to end horribly for a few of the characters. At any rate, best some of them make their daring escape, lest they get caught up in the consequences.

Also
Imperium - 1
Librarian - 0

@Savo

Which rule is 'Cool guys don't look at explosions?'

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Okay, so stealing came to nothing. Can I at least make a daring escape? *Just wants tobe cool* ;_;
