@Suku
I'll try to do that when I get home.

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

@harinezumikouken Don't edit your post because Prince isn't happy.

I mean, if Shiro would really be so petty as to just turn away from her, go right ahead.

[harinezumikouken]

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN - He would. He's immature to that point. xD

[MULTI_MEDIA_MAN]

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN - He would. He's immature to that point. xD

@harinezumikouken

I mean, to be fair, Sapphire's approach was hardly "Hey guys I'm really trying to make an effort to not be a jerk to you"

[harinezumikouken]

@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN - Still, he just doesn't like her. Plus, she did kind of just butt into the conversation. xD

Was scoot a weasel or a ferret?

@Lucius Cypher

Ferret.

@HereComesTheSnow

I thought I did, I used to use DarkBlue, now I'm using 321A8C. It seemed a lot less visually offensive when I finished finding the sequence.

@Prince of Seraphs - Christ Almighty, fine where's the post so I can go edit it and make you happy?

@harinezumikouken

Whoa whoa whoa, it was passing comment. I was mildly annoyed at not getting a mention when the others involved did and I drew a parallel between that and Shiro ignoring Sapphire. But it was nothing more than that... is there something I should be apologizing for? Cause that seemed like kind of a disproportionate respond to an offhand thought unless you were mad at me about something else.

And no, no one cares about someone carrying an arsenal around especially when considering this is again a fantasy setting where little girls can run up sheer mountain cliffs and slay demonic beasts with a scythe twice her size that's also a sniper rifle.

@harinezumikouken

It wasn't a comment on what is and is not allowed at Beacon or what's normal in the RWBY verse. It's just rather unusual for Sapphire and I thought two of the people that have known her the longest at Beacon might notice enough to make a passing comment about what she was planning on doing that day or even a passing thought.

It just sort of felt like the players of two characters that I really like interacting with put the absolute bare bones minimum of effort into including my character in their posts (and only cause I barged in on their current IC event) which made me feel like you guys really don't want me around but were too polite to ask me to edit the meeting out of my post. Whatever though, it's not really important.

[Abillioncats]

@Prince of Seraphs yeah I literally can't read either color XD

[Lady Seraphina]

@Prince of Seraphs yeah I literally can't read either color XD

Nope still too dark to see unless I zoom in a lot

@Abillioncats

I don't think dark blue shows up very well on this background. If you can find something that reads decently I'll gladly use it but I don't think there's much I can do, most of the shades that are anything like Sapphire's color likely won't show up properly on the Guild's color scheme.

[HereComesTheSnow]

just use a regular blue, christ

[Crimmy]

Just use the hex values for Sapphire (#0f52ba), which, while still admittedly are dark, don't murder your corneas.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Prince of Seraphs

Try this one instead. Still blue, but it has a nice glassy blue you'd get from a sapphire reflecting light. Maybe not that deep blue you would have wanted, but tbh the other blues you were using were about as bad as Ebon Black.

As for the other stuff, the reason I didn't address it was because I wasn't sure if you pointed it out because you wanted something done about it or not. Generally speaking, if it's not a problem, it probably doesn't need to have that much attention focused towards it. As for Gren and Shiro not noticing Sapphire's new armaments, well... They don't really like her enough to care. Sorry, but as nice of guys that Gren and Shiro are, even they have their limits. At the very least, they have the impression that Sapphire doesn't like/care for them, so they're keeping their distance from her too. Cuz you know, when you're going to be aloof and distant, you're going to end up aloof distant.

Gren hasn't quite given up on Sapphire yet. The relationship between her and Shiro is between them, but for now Gren can at least share her mentality of "you are a tool to me", even if that's not what you wanted Sapphire to be perceived as to Gren. He ain't perfect, and he has issues with those in authority who don't take into account his thoughts and feelings about the team dynamic either. And admitidly, he accuses Sapphire mostly in his head, so it's not a fair perception. But if they can at least see eye-to-eye in this false perception as tools for one another, maybe they could reach an understanding in which they figure out they're only seeing each other in that way because that's what the other expects them, not necessarily how they want it to. Or maybe that's exactly how one or the other side wants it to be, who knows. Balls in your court now Seraph.

[harinezumikouken]

@Prince of Seraphs - I was hangry at the time of that post of yours and I took it in a completely wrong way, so I apologize for that. For the being hungry/angry, that is. You couldn't have known so, I bit your head off.

Plus, as for Gren and Shiro not noticing Sapphire's gear, you can chaulk it up to them being boys. As in, they don't really notice when a gal changes something up.

Girl: "So...notice anything different?"
Boy: "Uhh..."
Girl: *Drastically different haircolor/style*
Boy: "Are...are those new slacks?"
Girl: ...

@Lucius Cypher

There's sort of a deep metaphorical reason for me using dark blue as her color which is a bit defeated by changing it to something that... cheery. Also Ebon's black showed up neat, crisp and clear on my computer.

Example

Once Krysthane's friend told them everything he knew, Ebon followed her out of the cafe towards the car. On the way he snatched a kitten and tucked it into his pocket, where it mewed quietly in confusion. Wanting to keep the little cat a secret Ebon spoke to it using his telepathy. "Hush little one. We're going to hang out, just for today." Once the team arrived to the car Ebon had his doubts. He wasn't sure if he could fit the Kingdom inside, and if he could it was going to be a tight fit. He also questioned Krysthane's driving ability. Ebon at least had a license to drive, though he never had the Lien to buy a car. "Don't park us up a tree Krysthane." Carefully maneuvering The Kingdom into the back seat, Ebon waited for the others while stealthily playing with the kitten behind his tower shield.

Previous Ebon Post

Looks fine to me.

@Lucius Cypher

Well I didn't recon they'd ask if she was going somewhere dangerous or care if she was doing something that could get her killed but a raised eyebrow or something seemed kind of appropriate. Its not really important though. I just thought it was odd that it didn't register at all.

Gren hasn't quite given up on Sapphire yet.

@Lucius Cypher

Hey that's Gren (and apparently your) opinion. To Sapphire its just a matter of not wanting to get too involved with the day to day lives of those she works with. She views the hunter's lifestyle as military in nature. You'd be polite and everything to your commanding officer in the army but you wouldn't be getting all buddy buddy with them, same goes the other way around except the politeness thing would be a courtesy not a requirement.

[harinezumikouken]

@Prince of Seraphs - You're not wrong about the military thing, that's for sure.
