Ruby Rose | RWBY

[guidemyway]

1. I blew up on my first day of school.
2. I was briefly a tree.
3. I can't do a cartwheel.

[pacificator]

You can't do a cartwheel???

[ Listen... she'd believe almost any wild story Ruby gives her. ]

[guidemyway]

Look, I'll prove it!

[Don't mind her as she takes a step back and then performs a perfect cartwheel.]

See!?

Wait- No! I wasn't supposed to do that!

[desperate_times_right]

How brief are we talking, here?

[guidemyway]

Somewhere between a few hours and a day. I'm a little fuzzy on the details.

[desperate_times_right]

Okay, I'll buy that. I remember you said you were clumsy, but I feel like blowing up is more believable than not being able to cartwheel.

[guidemyway]

It's true.

It was one of the most embarrassing things ever-

In my whole career.

[It wasn't. She's done worse.]

[desperate_times_right]

Does it count as your career if it happened at school? I think that's where you're supposed to blow up.

[guidemyway]

It was school to train for career? So I think it kind of counts. And they were pretty loosey goosey with the whole survival thing there too.

[desperate_times_right]

Well, I'd imagine so if they were going to let you explode on your first day.

[guidemyway]

That was all me, actually.

They just catapulted me, and the other students off a cliff into a monster infested forest.

[desperate_times_right]

[Joke that is very funny to her only:] A catapult, or a trebuchet?

Was that like an exam or something?

[thefifthchild]

What do you mean by "blew up"?

[guidemyway]

I mean someone- My future bff- got fire dust up my nose. I sneezed and it caused an explosion that left a crater in courtyard.

[thefifthchild]

Yeah, that tracks.

Inability to perform a cartwheel would be a bizarre weakness given what I've seen of your dexterity otherwise.

[guidemyway]

It would be wouldn't it?

It'd be kind of hilarious if that was the case though.

[thefifthchild]

I've seen more embarassing weaknesses. Like the colour yellow.

[guidemyway]

For real? The colour yellow?

They'd hate to meet my sister then.

...To be fair, she' s a lot of peoples weakness.

[goingtobeunwell]

What sort of tree?

[He's just rolling with it.]

[guidemyway]

Okay- Kind of complicated but there's this whole other world that everyone where I'm from thought was just a fairy tale. But then I fell into it like the girl in the story.

And there's this huge tree there. Like the size of a mountain and it was responsible for making everything there.

And I got sucked into it for a little while. I guess I was more of a branch than an outright tree? I was a me shaped tree- With like weird multicoloured maple leaves.

[fidior]

[ He.... he really hopes Ruby might have made a mistake and listed two lies, here... Two of these claims are extremely worrisome... ]

Do you mean.... you were briefly in a tree, Miss Rose?

[guidemyway]

I mean- Yes and no.

I was having a sort of out of body experience inside another tree while my body was out there being an actual tree.

...It's really complicated.

[fidior]

[ O-oh... He thought surely she was just.. in a tree, like sitting in one, but this.... this is clearly... something very different. ]

Is this sort of thing... commonplace, in your world...?

[guidemyway]

In my world, not really. But I sort of fell into another one where it apparently happens all the time.

There was a fairy tale that was pretty common in my world called "The Girl Who Fell Through The World." It turns out there was a lot more truth to the story than anyone knew.

You didn't blow up. But your school did. I think.
