RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

@mcmolly@VedranTheII Berry and Russ should probably each have a post receiving Lan's text and deciding whether or not to meet her at the library.

Right not I'm trying to get some things sorted before we can continue in general, so we don't actively have plans for anyone at this exact moment.

@Mcmolly@VedrantheII

Time for us to round up. go look for Tsuki, and stumble upon plot (also our new player, eventually).

with mention of Berry, Russ, and Viola
time skip; afternoon of the sparring tournament
Lan was sitting in an external classroom at Beacon, at a desk made from a carefully sculpted tree. Still a bit fatigued from her earlier sparring match with Viola, the lemur tailed girl yawned.
Across the room, a somewhat effeminate teacher spoke “The Jewel Tree is one of several species of plant which has evolved specifically to feed on aura. In most cases this is reflected by a handfull of leaves changing to the color of the source aura.” he gestured to a bonsai in a pot on the podium at the front of the room. “As you may have noticed, this specimen has been exposed to many auras throughout it’s life, meaning no two leaves reflect the same properties.”

The red haired girl pondered “Wasn’t Tsuki meant to be in this class?” she tilted her head, staring absently at the small, decorative plant Umuthi Iqhawe was discussing the properties of animatedly, allowing her attention to wander across the room, passively observing other students for the duration of the lecture.

Around an hour later, the girl stepped out of the small classroom into the sunlight. She checked her scroll, confirming she had no more classes for the day, and elected to return to the dorms. After walking in silence a few minutes, she began to worry over the absence of her teammate Tsuki, and drew her scroll, attempting to call the missing girl.

After several attempts with no answer, she gave up, pausing at a bench near the library to send out a hastily typed group message

To: Rori Russet, Berry Caerulus Baulur
”Hey, it’s Lan, Could you two meet me at the library? Tsuki wasn’t in any of our shared classes. I’m a bit worried.”

Zhu Chun Lan

After sending the message, she considered a moment before dialing Viola. She tapped her foot impatiently as it rang, speaking the moment her friend answered “I’m worried about one of my teammates. I haven’t seen Tsuki all day, I’m not even sure she was in the dorm this morning.”

“Rost Waldgrun vs Lila Waldgrun

”No need for these if it's the two of us.” The twin combatants agreed before each taking a step back from the center of the arena, discarding their hooded cloaks on the outskirts.

The girl grasped the handle of her tonfa as a rust colored mimic appeared beside her, copying the action. Across the arena, three blonde haired boy's darted in different directions with a blur of lilac between them.

The girl and her clone stepped back to back, raising their tonfa. A quick thumb across the base and a green glow coated the ends of the originals as her brothers decoys converged. The girl watched their footwork carefully, “You missed a step.” she shouted, swinging a single tonfa towards the leftmost of the three boys, knocking him backwards in a powerful burst of wind.

Two of the Rost’s in the arena dissolved while the third caught himself in a roll, jumping to his feet. With a spin on his heels, the mouse eared boy fired one grenade from each pistol. The first grenade landed to his sisters immediate right and she ducked away as it detonated, only for the second to detonate and destroy her doll. “You always fall for that one.” he joked

A split second later, the female twin flipped to her feet from the ground, linking her tonfa into a staff. Lila shifted a band on the shaft and the ends of her weapon crackled with electricity. She laughed, ”Really should work on remembering that move, huh?” the female mouse joked, bolting towards her brother. The blonde haired girl spun to drive her staff towards him lengthwise towards her twin.

Rost caught the weapon against the tops of his pistols, pressing the sparking end aside and clear of his body to flick the twin pistols upwards, allowing the blades to extend. Swords armed, he sent a left handed slash towards Lila

A slight click could be heard as leaf shaped blades flipped out of the ends of the metallic staff, deflecting the incoming sword with a quick spin only for Lila to be caught by a kick to the shin as Commandere ceased its rotation in her hand.

When Lila stumbled from the strike Rost attempted to strike across the shoulders, however the double ended spear in his sister’s hand split suddenly and was brought up to guard. A quick twist of her wrist brought the still electrified end into his arm.

”Shit, that stings.” he shouted , jumping back and splitting in triplicate once more. Each of the boys took an identical position, swords crossed in front.

Lila spawned a new doll, swapping the active dust in her tonfa to ice. As her brother and the copies approached, she passed off one of the tonfa to her mirrored clone, each swinging across to launch a handful of crystalline shards, unexpectedly shattering against the swords of all three “Finally took my advice on the earth, huh?” she asked, lining up her clone to link the tonfa back together into staff form

”It was a good call, what can I say? the three copies of her brother said in unison, each transforming their right sword back into gun form and firing two rounds. The grenades made contact with the ground behind Lila and two detonated, the spray of flame burning away her doll again.

As her doll evaporated, Lila lunged forward towards her twin”Nice try!” she shouted, delivering a full force strike to her twin’s gut with one of her tonfa, releasing a powerful jolt of electricity just as her doll fully evaporated.

Just then, a loud buzzer sounded twice

“We appear to have a double knockout.” Glynda observed as the two portraits on the display crossed out.

The twins shrugged "Not even slightly surprised."

“Very well.” Glynda noted, unimpressed by their confidence.

As the twins retrieved their cloaks and departed the floor laughing, Glynda spun the combatant selection. The randomiser brought up the image of a pale skinned girl with large russet brown eyes framed by black hair messily chopped short, next to a lightly tanned man with dark brown eyes and shoulder length red hair, half of which was tied back from his face. “The next match shall be between Rori Russette and Rufus Tenné.”

@Madninja324
There's supposed to be a footnote with the results of the next fight, actually, and an abridged version of it.

RWBY AU;Heroes of a Different Story (Mission terminated. Wishing you all well.)

@Hael Ignis
Basically what Mad said.
Fair warning, we have fairly rigid character requirements just because of the level of sheer bullshit we've had to deal with for characters in the past.
In addition, we have a couple other people who are currently working on characters to fill the slot that is open at the moment, however neither of them have been accepted just yet.

@Mcmolly

We're making a mention of Tsuki missing the sparring class, if you wanted to have Russ give a little input about it. It's in the CLRT doc, down the bottom.

@SpiritedDream

We do need to know whetheryou want Russ to comment before we can post that, and once it goes up we can continue the sparring tournament, as most of the posts are written at this point.
