RWBY: The Years Before: Shadow of Grim

[Happy Red Mage]

Ivory woke up groggily. She stretched out a few moments before letting out a small elegant yawn. "Good...morning..." She greeted sleepily as she made her way to the bathroom. She then heard Silas still in it and made a small sleepy smile. She activated her Semblance and covered her entire body in sharp twisted metal, making her look like something straight out of a monster movie. She gave a low rasping laugh as she slowly made her way to Silas. @Emperor Of Embers

"WAAAAH!" Silas screeched, completely scared beyond her wits. Her body then hardens to obsidian, and she put up a defensive stance. Once she realized it was Ivory, she growled out of pure humility. "Seriously? Do you have to do that?!" She shouted, frustrated and angry.

If morganite wasn't up before he was up after that scream. Just great waking up to a scream at least it wasn't abotu him, or the guy in their room any of the other girls could easily forget they had a guy now and get undressed. That however didn't seem to be the problem, despite how much morganite actually kind of wished that would happen as it would be funny for long as it didn't happen to him. That however would have screaming on his side as well.


" Can you guys not wake people up with screams" he said annoyed and not exactly making sense but really who thought clearly after jolting awake.

"Sorry! I will try not to next time." Silas said to morganite, and sighed as her skin softens up, and rock came crumbling off of her body. "Please ivory.... Do not do that again." She said as she finished getting ready by washing her face. @Metaphysics

"Yes." She said simply as the metal retracted back into her skin. "Would you rather waking up to me holding a knife over your head?" She asked with creepy smile. She then looked to Morganite. "Sorry Morgy! How about we spend some time together by having me poke you with razors?" She asked with the same creepy smile.

 

[Karcen]

" First it is ok Silas and two no we got a guy so you can torture him instead of me " he said really not ever liking that smile .


The girls really didn't mind showing off their semblances unlike him he had kept his a secret as they weren't exactly something everyone had or well he thought, he was not entirely sure.


" also i would rather keep my clothes in one piece " he teased implying sloppy cutting on Ivory's side.

"Sorry Morgy! How about we spend some time together by having me poke you with razors?" She asked with the same creepy smile.

"I will freaking break you with my Rock-hard body. Do not touch me with any kind of razor." Silas muttered. She was in no mood for fear tactics at this point. She sighed, and splashed water on her face as she grabbed a towel. She liked ivory as a friend, maybe slightly more, but her thing with knives concerned her.

KURO MAYONAKA



​

Since he had a longer nap than anticipated, Kuro wasn't going to be sleeping in as he usually did. Sometimes he was the last one to wake up. Today was different. He began stirring in his bed around the time Azure was already up and moving. He began groaning as he tossed and turned in his bunk, a sign that the beast was about to awaken from his slumber like an Ursa roaring at its target. His eyes finally opened, but he was completely under his covers, except for that his feet were poking out from under the blanket.


"Uuuuuughhhh...five more minutes..." he groaned.

Mel tossed and turned in bed. She couldn't really decide whether to wake up or not, knowing she was having a fantastic dream about Azure. She loved having her on the team, but felt disappointed about Kuro being their leader. But, as quickly as her thoughts left Azure, they went right back on.


Mel rolled in her bed. She talked in her sleep. The words she spoke were truths that she never had the guts to say, "Azure... I love you... Let's get married..." She accidentally said with clarity... How she manages to do that while asleep may be a reason why she doesn't have that many friends.

Asher was so deep in his sleep that he barely heard the scream of his comrade. His upper body, raising from the bed like a fairly fast zombie, was bare and full of scars, some large and some small. He figured he didn't need to get to the source of the scream too fast, his teammates were strong enough to last at least thirty five seconds. Asher grabbed his glaive and made his way to the others in their bathroom, where he deduced the scream to have come from. His long and loose plaid patterned pants followed behind his bare feet with only a small circular scar from when he was shot in the foot a few years ago. When Asher was at the door of the bathroom and he knocked on the wall a couple of times and spoke up, asking, "You ladies alright in there?" Such a gentleman Asher was.

"We are fine! It's just Metallica decided to scare the hell out of me." Silas said as she glared at Ivory, something about her weirded the girl out. She shrugged it off, and looked at asher. "Damn boy, you got enough scars there?" she said, concerned and impressed. @Trundle @Metaphysics

" So much drama in the morning, well i can't say things are fun" Morganite said with a little laugh.


Aside from the i'm goign to shank you attitude morganite thought the team he was on seemed to get along, though he honestly had rarely ever heard of a team not at least tolerating each others existence, that might actually be interesting.


" Side note i was hoping you would barge in there Asher would be funny, a guys paradise of being with three girls turned suddenly to hell by seeing one changing" he joked.

"I honestly do not care. an evenly balanced team is cool with me, in terms of gender." Silas said as she walked out of the bathroom, her armor on, and an eye patch over her left eye. "So, you runts wanna grab breakfast?" she asked in a tough tone. "Ivory! You coming?!" she called as she scratched her head. @Metaphysics @Trundle

 

[Chayliel]

Asher looked down at his toned, muscular body and said with a slight frown, "Yea I could go for a few more I guess. But hey, you don't always get what you want." Turning to Morg, he said, "I mean if it was under different circumstances, yes I would enjoy being around three naked women." He shrugged and was about to walk away but when Silas mentioned breakfast, his eyes widened and he stared at Silas with hearts in his yellow eyes. "I love... Breakfast." He sped off, leaving a crack in the floor under one of his foots from the amount of power he left with. He grabbed his typical gold armor and slipped into it as fast as he could. He let his glaive revert into a pen and he was back outside the bathroom before the girls possibly could have changed completely. He knocked again to shown that he was ready for food.

Curve took the fastest way out of school as possible. He walked his way across the grass of the lawn leading out to the initiation grounds. The place new students were launched into the emerald forest. Curve was glad he wasn't here for that. Today, he assumed, they'd slide down the edge (at least he would) or take the stairs.


His boots didn't make their usual claBmp-ing noise on the grass. More of a vauge swish. He glared at it in disgust. Curve hated grass. And trees. Well, that was false. Curve hated trees and grass in excessive amounts. Trees belonged planted under sidewalks, growing up through grates set in between the cement slabs. Those provided some amount of shade. Curve thought back to his home. His turf. There was a bench under one such tree. He'd spent the better part of far too many days than he'd care to mention sitting there. Not doing anything, just sitting. Thinking. Planning sometimes. Sometimes someone would come and sit with him. Usually one of his men. Like Wolf. Wolf was more of a brother than a subordinate. The two had known eachother since Curve was... He didn't even know. But they were both the same age. Curve sighed, kicking at the grass, his fist clenching. His tattoos glowed, and he gritted his teeth. Curve wished he wasn't paranoid. He wished he didn't use his semblance as often as he did. He wished he wasn't part of a team with a child who had no idea how to lead as captain. Curve spat in the grass. He'd never call anyone like him even a subordinate. The kid had no place in his world. Yes. This was his world. Or it soon would be. He was put here to protect it, and that's what he intended to do. It was such a heavy burden he had to bear. And he carried it alone. Oh well.


Curve flipped his watch over on his wrist. Gazing at it a few seconds, he stuck both his hands in his trouser pockets. Sward had scouted out the area they'd be at beforehand. How'd Curve know? That was his job back home at Shade Academy. Curve didn't expect anything had changed. Right now, his green-clad partner would probably be watching him. Curve watched the space in front of him with a disinterested look on his face. Thirty minutes until action time.

Silas chuckled as Asher bragged about his scars, and his reply to Morganite., But what got her most was when asher bolted out the door for breakfast, with the love of food in his eyes. She started to laugh, since she has never seen anyone excited over breakfast before. @Trundle @Metaphysics

Azure Snow

​

"Uughhhhhh five more minutes," Kuro pleaded. The fox's ears rotated toward the males voice. Azure's soft lower lip pursed outward to pout. With her hands on her hips she sauntered over to their sleeping leader. Him of all people should already be up and ready. She stopped at the side of his bed and used both hands to push and nudge his arm. And when that didnt work she moved to plan B. Azure bent forward slightly, putting her face close to his, with one hand she pinched his nose together. Maybe the need for oxygen will wake him. Suddenly her ears turned backward to listen to Mel's voice. She was talking in her sleep, saying some personal things. Still bent over she turned her head to look between her arm (that she used to cut off Kuro's air supply) and her side, her head upside down. Her face flushed when Mel spoke of marriage,"Wh-wha?!" She stuttered.

" You guys go ahead, i'll catch up after i change, not like i can go down in my PJs" Morganite said he could simply just change there but well he needed privacy or rather wanted it. " And don't worry i'll have all my limbs" He commented mostly about their overly enthusiastic team mate might just try something like that if she was that bored. others might worry abotu being in a small space with someone like ivory but they had lasted months so there was little to worry about.

KURO MAYONAKA



​

Kuro had almost fallen back asleep. He stood at the precipice between being awake in the uncool world of awakenness and the fun world of sleep. Then, something bad happened. He couldn't breathe from his nose. It felt uncomfortable at first, but then it became a problem. His oxygen was being cut off. He reached his arm up and grabbed the arm grabbing his nose at the wrist and removed it, opening his eyes with a glare only to find Azure's head right above his. He said nothing. He was too busy wondering how such a shy person could think of something so devious. While he was awake, he heard Mel over in her bed spouting her nonsensical sleep talk. Kuro gently nudged Azure away from him and grabbed one of his pillows, throwing it at Mel. He then removed the blanket from himself and swung his legs out of bed, standing up next to Azure. He had to act as awake as possible. Such a struggle without coffee.


"Yo, Mel, time to get up," he said pretty lazily and not at all acting very awake.

Mel's dream came to an abrupt end once the pillow landed on her face. She woke up and she was very crossed, "I was sleeping, 'Alpha'! Don't you have any respect for a woman's beauty sleep?" she scolded their leader until realizing that Azure was still in the room, "Oh goodness! Azure! I didn't know you were here! I do ever so apologize for my behavior, I get ever so crossed when people wake me... I hope I didn't frighten you!" she apologized to the Faunus of her dreams.

Sward awoke as the first rays of sun hit his face. He then got up slowly and took off the mask which he then put away for safe keeping. He then put his helmet back on. He then parkoured his way down and look towards the forest. "Well time to go to work." He searched as much of the forest as he could. He swinged through the tree branches and grinded on tree trunks like if it was his own personal playground. It was peaceful and quiet and this made Sward worry a little. He remembered that the book said grimm have a habit appearing in the Emerald Forest. The sun was fully shining now. Sward decided to head back to eat. Luckily he knew how to cook because surviving on your own is rather hard. He already made himself some breakfast by cooking some leftovers that he smuggled when no one was watching before his tantrum. He then extinguished the fire and than sat in a tree nearby the launch site waiting for the others.

 

[Alstromeria]

OJ and Locke had finally stumbled out to meet Curve. OJ scanned the area. "Yo, where Sward at?" He asked. "Around." Curve replied bluntly. "So. What do you see?" OJ lookead out at the forest. He figured Curve had a deeper meaning to what he said, or a lesson. OJ shrugged, deciding to keep his mouth shut. He'd let Locke do the talking. It might piss Curve off, but hey, that was kinda funny.

 

[Emperor Of Embers]

After grabbing some food, Silas and her team head to the Emerald forest, where every team was supposed to meet. Though she was ahead of everyone else, she was eager to show off her skills. "Why did I walk so fast?" She asked herself as she looked behind her. @Trundle @Metaphysics

Azure Snow

​

Distracted by Mel's sleepytime babbles, Kuro's wrist grabbing caught her by surprise. She gasped and retracted her hand when he removed it, claiming it back as her own. Her other hand rubbed it a little. Kuro pushed the fox aside to get a better look at Mel, then proceeded by throwing a pillow at her. The action made a few loose strands of Azure's hair move with the small and short breeze from the whizzing pillow. She cringed when the the pillow's flight was cut short from Mel's face. The faunus looked to her side then upward at the now standing Kuro. He instructed Mel on getting up but she doubted if Kuro was even fully awake himself. The thought brought a smile to her face, and a small giggle from her throat to come out.


Mel quickly woke up but seemed upset to do so. "I was sleeping 'Alpha'!" She emphasized the title Azure had given him. Azure frowned, she wondered if Mel was subtly making fun of her. But she couldnt be. She didnt think was the type. Eh, the fox brushed it off. A scolding broke out and Azure was caught in the crossfire. She stood straight and stiff. Even though Mel was directly speaking to Kuro, Azure felt like she was in trouble too. Her ears flattened and her tail hung low. The faunus looked aloof and her hands were placed behind her back, acting like she wasnt paying any attention. Suddenly Mel's mood switched. She began to apologize, rambling about her behavior. The crazy thing was, it wasnt to Kuro, it was to Azure herself. She looked back at Mel, a little surprised. And when she began to apologize, Azure jerked her head back, shocked even further. Heterochromic eyes darted between Mel and Kuro, silently advising Mel that she wasnt the one she should be apologizing to. Well she tried to at least. But Mel didnt seem to get the hint,"I hope I didnt frighten you!" she said, concern in her voice. The only thing that was frightening was how quickly Mel's attitude shifted from one extreme to another. Azure raised her hands to her chest, palms facing Mel, she gave a forced and nervous smile and shook her head, insisting it was quite alright.


Normally, Mel wouldve been right. Azure doesnt like being amidst anger, even if the feelings arent toward her. She was sensitive to auras as well as people's feelings. When people were angry, she could feel the tension and it made her very uncomfortable, and sometimes scared. However, ahe trusted Kuro and Mel, and knew them more than anyone else in Beacon, she knew Mel's frustration wasnt anything serious, or that it would get out of hand, so she was okay. However, if it were a stranger Azure would be scared. She doesnt know strangers, and therefore doesnt know their behavior. People sometimes snap when theyre angry, but Azure was okay with her team mates. Heterochromic eyes wandered to the single window in their dorm, it seemed like a nice clear day. A good day to be out and about. She looked back at her mates and raised her wrist, pointing at it with her other hand. In her own silent language, she was telling them that time was ticking by.
