Lucky you. Nobody's jammed you on that stupid Deerlybeloved crap.
Look, you probably want somewhere to crash.
I can get a pullout couch, but you're going to want to be careful of the door.
Dust trap's usually set to ice type.
Usually.

It probably helps to keep a low profile. Or maybe it's just a matter of time and I'll deal with it when it happens.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
They let you have ice Dust? I only have my regular stuff, and only enough for one or two reloads. Guess I'm going knives out for a while.

This phone's not that nice.
It happened the day I woke up here.
There was a bazaar. Managed to snag a small amount.
Was not cheap, but the cats were around so I had to behave.
Enough for two doses on the entries.
I never did like relying on the stuff myself.

That explains the grenade.
Ugh, I can't believe I'm gonna have to get a job like a normal person to get this stuff.
Those cats are gonna be a real pain in the ass. This place can't honestly expect me to be a functioning member of society.
Did you know they gave me that stupid uniform I wore when we infiltrated Beacon?
Are they telling me to go back to school?

It's possible to sneak around the cats for little stuff.
I think there's only about thirty in town?
Haven't quite gotten the check, but one's usually tailing me by now.
If you're up for a gambling den, I'll put in a good word for you at the Hair of the Dog.
Hey, it could be worse.
At least you have the legs to pull off the plaid.
Seriously going to have to try not to laugh though.

I guess. I just look like a jerk in uniform even if I can pull off the stockings.
They didn't give me the stupid dress from that dance, though, so I should probably count my blessings.
Besides, if I roll up to the blackjack table looking like that, maybe it'll throw people off enough to win some hands easy.
I don't know how my Semblance will be affected, but I should probably stop relying on it to trick the dealer while I'm here.

God forbid. That job was awful for all of our looks.
And yeah, test out your semblance a few times, carefully.
I'm willing to be your guinea pig if you want.
Wouldn't want it to screw up on you at the wrong moment would we?

Appreciate it. I don't know how it's going to screw up, but I don't like the possibilities.
I guess have some aspirin on hand? Just in case it decides to give me a migraine if I use it at all now or something.
I'm expecting it to be as bad as possible.

Already getting the hang of this place if you're saying that.
Everything is usually the worst possible version of what you're thinking.
Save some aspirin for me, in case it backfires on me.

Awesome. Can't wait.
Well, you know how this life goes. Prepare for the worst so you're never surprised.
Not in a bad way, at least. Running into you was a pretty good surprise. Probably the last one I'll get for a while, so I'll hang on to it as long as I can.

Don't go getting too sappy on me, Emerald.
But yeah, it's actually been really good to see you.
Being solo here, I'm used to.
But better in a duo.

Wouldn't dream of it.
We'll burn this place down and get back to where we need to be.
Just gotta find a spark.

Good news is most of these sleepers are on board with that.
Though they're really soft about how they handle it.
Not too much burning yet.
Yet.

You mean we get to introduce people to how to really make things interesting?
Then I should get settled fast. We've got important work to do.

I should really introduce you to Maul.
Kind of scary as fuck when he growls.
But I think he can appreciate our way of thinking.
You'd probably like him.

You never met Hazel, right? I'm used to people getting scary when they growl.
Hell, all this Maul guy sounds like he needs is a bloodlust against Ozpin and it'll be like I never left.

Saw his wanted poster in Mistral.
Never actually met the guy.
But hey, you can tell me how similar they are one day.
[Alarmingly similar.]

[Oscar had disappeared for safety. Yang was blowing the fuck up right now and who knew what she was about to do, which apparently took Raven out of the equation. She wouldn't talk to Neo for hours. Qrow was nowhere to be seen. Clover, she barely knew. Jaune was gone. And Penny was currently a toaster.
And Neo? Neo was freaking out.]
Emerald?
I fucked up.
I fucked up bad.
I did it.

You... did it?
[there's only a few things that Neo could be talking about. and Ultimate Liar or not, Emerald is incredibly... incredibly concerned.]
Oh no.
Are you okay?

Brothers, no. This is all wrong.
This isn't I what I wanted.
I was ready to forgive her, but I lost control.
I wasn't strong enough, Emerald.
(OOC: Downside of limited canon appearances, we rarely see her freaking out in icons.)

Gods, Neo.
I'm sorry. I know you were trying.
I... what do you need? From me.
Are you staying away from home? Do you want me to come to you?

My address got painted on the walls this month
Disarm the traps for now and let them in if they come.
Don't try to protect me or get involved, Emerald.
I don't want you hurt because I lost control.
Maybe hide anything important just in case.
I already told Yang.
I'm going to try and turn myself into them.
Somehow.

I'll disarm the traps and keep everything safe here.
But if they come looking for you with blood in their eyes and they find me first, you're out of your mind if you think I'll just let it happen.
If you want to turn yourself in, I'm gonna make sure you don't get hurt.
I don't know if most of them would try, but I can't trust Yang as far as I can throw her.

EMERALD!
Nobody else needs to die because of me!
I don't want you hurt, ok?
But if you want to help me turn in, we can do that.
Just please don't get yourself hurt.
I've already caused you enough trouble.
Let's wait for Yang to call back and keep our distance.
Oscar was much calmer, but I'd rather not involve the kid.
And I haven't heard from Qrow yet.
That worries me.

Okay.
Okay.
I won't get myself hurt because of you.
I can just wait and see what happens, and... if she comes knocking and you're not here, I can tell her to wait until you get home.
I'll be a good host, I'll see if I can get her to calm down, and I won't stop her if she won't listen.
Or if she decides to come to you instead.
I don't know what Qrow's deal is but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't hear from him for a while.
He just seems sad most of the time already. He probably isn't doing great.
