[IC] Remnant Has Fallen (RWBY-zombie apocalypse)dead

[Blueflame]

the wind could be heard howling through the now seemingly empty streets of vale as a slight static noise could be heard through a bloodstained window of a shop that once sold dust. The static came from a mounted television screen. a lady could be seen from a recorded message from days before. It said "Reports of voilent attacks keep flooding in as the white fang have came out and said they where the ones who have created this super virus that has been seen too and I qoute 'Raise the dead', civilians are told to stay indoors, make no contact with the infected, and make no attempt to reach loved ones outside your home.". Miles away beacon still stands trying to train fighters to protect those not yet safe from the hoards.

Nix Quinn was walking the inside parimeter of the wall that surrounds beacon. His job today was to check for any cracks in the wall.

Cerry

Life was different for not only Cerry, but everyone throughout Remnant. She was used to helping her family with various household chores, but not once did Cerry think that she would be taking notes of rations and portioning out the remaining food Beacon had. "Don't waste it all in one place," Cerry said as she portioned some soup to go along with their weekly ration pack for the next person in line. It was a grueling job, but it seemed to be a necessity now.

Bluu saw an enormous walled building in the distance. Perhaps this was what was referred to as "Beacon". Closing the distance in an instant, he had made it to the wall. The Beacon was impressively defended. High walls, lights, almost like a...Beacon. Huh. Walking around the perimeter of the walls, Bluu looked for an entrance. Until that is he found a small hole in the wall. Putting his eye to the hole, there was a figure standing by the hole, pacing around. With any luck, it wouldn't be the living dead. Bluu spoke through hole: "Hey there. This wouldn't happen to be 'Beacon' would it? Mind if I come in?" The figure stepped back, clearly surprised. "Y-Yes, this is Beacon. Wh-Who's there?" "Ah, perfect! I've made it then!" Bluu backed up, a good, 20 feet, and ran as fast as he could. Up a nearby tree and leaping off and onto the wall. Hopping down, he came face to face with a young girl, clearly frightened. "Sorry to scare you, but my name is Bluu," He said with a short bow,"So, uh, is it alright if I just explore a bit?" "W-Well, shouldn't we take you through the gate first? We need to let people know you're here. Follow me, I'll take you there." Thankfully the girl had calmed down, and was now even offering to take him to the main gate! How lucky. He hoped he wouldn't have to go through some sort of clearing and search process, there was a lot of stuff in his pack."Great! Lead the way then!" And with that, they set off to the gate.

Nix watched as the man jumped onto the wall and then down. surprised by this he ran over to greet the new guy. "How did you do that? The wall is nearly eleven foot tall?!" nix said not realizing that bluu has a huntsmen. (did bluu graduate from beacon?)@Lord Orgasmo

[Lord Orgasmo]

Bluu looked over to the boy who had rushed towards him."How did I do it huh? I've had that question asked so many times now...Well, to put it simply, I've been doing stuff like this my entire life. Climbing buildings, jumping enormous gaps, and being able to run at incredible speeds certainly helps. Eleven feet is nothing. I'll have you know I've climbed over castle walls before, and I can do it again. At first I was trained by my father. He was a huntsman who graduated from here. He died when I was a little younger than you, and I was forced to learn on my own. I recently only found out he graduated here, and now I'm here to see what it's like."

Cerry

Once Cerry had finished with her daily task of supplying the long line of survivors that waited for their rations, she decided to go stretch her legs. Supplying everyone took a lot of standing and little movement, so her joints were rather stiff for the time being. However, as Cerry set her mind on a little walking around, she had noticed the man leap over the defensive walls, as well the student that quickly rushed over towards this unknown pole vaulter. Interested, Cerry made her way towards the two men to see who exactly this stranger was, but she wished more to see why he was here. "Nix," Cerry asked in the same calming tone she always had. "Who is this stranger? I thought everyone from outside had to be checked in first."

[Blueflame]

@Lord Orgasmo@Aquanthe
"yeah yet he literally jumped an eleven foot wall!" Nix said as he was still surprised as he could only get about half way. Then he came to his senses and said "But yeah you are right Cerry, come on lets go to the front gate." as he pointed toward a gate in the distance.

[Carlyle]

Cerry

It was a good thing to be amazed at wondrous feats. It meant that you still had an imagination in these dire times, yet the same times brought many stunts to the table. At campfires, you'd hear crazy tales that one did just to survive. Sneaking around a horde of zombies. Taking on the same horde. In Cerry's mind, she didn't consider the action the surprising factor, rather the result. What would come of this strange man? Was all of his backstory but a ploy for some outsider group to cause trouble, or was she just paranoid? Regardless, Cerry didn't wish to voice her thoughts. Bluu was a new person, and these days you don't see many new faces around Beacon. Why make them despise you right as you meet the stranger when you have a chance to make a new friend? She simply nodded at Nix and motioned towards the checkpoint. "Come, Bluu. Let us get you checked in."

[Lord Orgasmo]

"Alright then, let's go." His newfound company led him to an enormous gate, with a 2 people standing by. Past that was a small room, presumably where he needed to check in. After telling his name, his motives, going through his pack, and answering a few more mundane questions, Bluu was officially checked in to beacon."Now that that's taken care of, why don't you show me around? I've never actually been to a school and want to see what it's like."

[Blueflame]

@Lord Orgasmo@Aquanthe"actually I'm still on duty, I need to make sure there is no holes or cracks in the wall. Cerry why don't you show him around?" Nix said as he shrugged slightly as he turned to make his way back to where he was checking last. "Oh! Are we still on for cards tonight Cerry?" he said turning back around quickly causing his cloak to flutter up showing his orange and white fox tail in the process.

[Carlyle]

Cerry

Cards. Despite Cerry's intelligence, she was awfully terrible with luck in card games. Cerry would plan out her grand strategy to trump her opponents, only to lose her bet through chance. Surely, one would've given up after losing so much, but what else was there to do as the world came to a standing stop? You couldn't exactly go for an afternoon stroll with the dead prowling the streets, so Cerry had to satisfy herself with the sweet taste of losing most rounds in friendly card games between the students of Beacon. "Sure! Same time as usual?" She replied with a smile and waved Nix off as he went back to his duties. Turning her attention back to the stranger, Cerry motioned for Bluu to follow her lead. "There isn't much to see of the school now that the world has ended, but I can still give you a tour. Follow me."

[Lord Orgasmo]

"Alright then, let's see what all there is. Heh, you know I never actually went to a school. Was raised by my father all my life." Following the small girl, he went through the building. The first was a large room with several long tables. Apparently this was called a "Cafeteria". People would apparently eat here en masse. How strange. He didn't think there would be a designated eating time. Schools were strange. Next were the classrooms. Students here would be taught how to fight, or learn various other subjects. Like Medicine or about stuff called "Dust". Then there was the Gym. Students here would participate in physical activities like running laps or playing sports. What's a sport? He'd never heard of those before. According to Cerry, Sports were a game usually played between two teams to try and beat the other. Lastly there was the storage room. Fairly simple. Shelves full of varying objects, freezers presumably full of foodstuffs, and boxes stacked up nearly to the ceiling filled with who-knows-what. Bluu then turned to the small girl, and asked:"Hey, uhhh...Bubbles, you're smart right? I found some things recently and don't know what they are." Putting down his pack, he reached inside and pulled out a box about as long as his arm and opened it. Inside were sparkling crystals of varying colors and shapes."There was some guy in a lab coat getting ripped apart by some undead, and needless to say he didn't make it. He was holding onto this box for dear life, but I've got no clue what these could possibly be. You have any ideas?"

[Carlyle]

Cerry

Walking throughout the various rooms and buildings of Beacon, Cerry showcased the academy to Bluu. It felt odd for Cerry to give a tour. Being the way the world is now, new faces don't show up often at the academy. Everyone knew their way around the courtyards and rooms, mainly due to being cooped up like chickens behind the walls, but this was a fresh experience for her. The strange man had many questions, as if boring school life had raised Bluu's curiosity towards the complex. He never did go to an academy, after all. Questions were expected from Cerry, and she did her best to answer Bluu. "Bubbles? My name is Cerry, Bluu." Cerry replied once they had reached the storage room filled with the remaining supplies. She looked down at the suitcase Bluu presented, picking up a white crystal off the soft padding inside. "If only we didn't have to risk our lives for such a valuable material." She placed the crystal back into the suitcase. "What you have in that suitcase is Dust, Bluu. As rare as it was before, the rarity of the crystals has increased that the world has ended. It powers many of our weapons, but the rarity forces us to use it wisely. I'd suggest putting the crystals with the rest of the storage if you intend on staying around here, but what you do with them is entirely your responsibility."

[Lord Orgasmo]

"So this is that Dust stuff huh? Thanks, uhh...Bubbles. If these are so Important, I'll probably hand these off to you guys, but I'll hold on to them for now." Bluu placed the box back into his pack."So what do you guys do for fun around here? You still teach stuff here? I'll probably be sticking around for a while, been a while since I've been around people. Well, living ones anyways."

[Blueflame]

After Nix checked around the wall and reported to the work men on duty any cracks in the wall he rushed off to try and find where cerry and bluu where. He had saw them through a door window. He thought in was a push so he ran down the hall only to slam right into the door and fall over.@Lord Orgasmo@Aquanthe

[Carlyle]

Cerry

"Well, our classes aren't exactly as they were before, but the headmaster still has us attend." Cerry replied to Bluu. In reality, the classes weren't much that different from before, but Cerry felt there was minor changes here and there. After all, the world had gone from being infested with just Grimm to being swarmed with Grimm and the dead. To the girl, it felt like there was a larger focus on survival in their classes now that a bite could ruin someone's day. "Although, if you were looking for fun, I'm afraid that we don't have much. Some of play card games or something, but most of us are busy try-" She heard a crash, like someone running into the door next to them. Sure enough, Nix had ran into the door. "Are you okay, Nix?" Cerry asked, opening the door and extending a hand to help the faunus up. "Running into that door must've hurt."

[Blueflame]

@Aquanthe
"yeah im fine cerry, just a minor concussion" Nix said joking as he shook his head taking cerry's hand. yet he did not try to stand, instead with a devious grin he pulled cerry down with him while laughing victoriusly.

[Lord Orgasmo]

Bluu looked towards the unfolding scene, and gave a small shrug."Uhh...Do you two... need some alone time?" he said, slowly backing up towards the door. He'd seen situations like this before, but still wanted no part of it.

[Carlyle]

Cerry

"W-what are you doing!?" Cerry asked as she plummeted to the floor and onto Nix. In truth, it was more of a demand than a question from the surprised girl, whom didn't expect to be pulled down. She just wanted to offer help to Nix, but the faunus was always mischievous. However, as Bluu suggested some 'alone time' for the two students, Cerry felt a tide of embarrassment rousing in her cheeks. "I-It's not w-what you think!" Cerry exclaimed. She tried to stand up and brush herself off, but Cerry was still wary Nix might try to pull another trick on her.

[Blueflame]

"just a small joke bluu." Nix said snickering at cerry's response to bluu. He started to stand and brush himself off still chuckling to himself. "you have got to stay one your toes cerry, besides everyone could use a small laugh every now and then."
