Last time

Tai:no. You know what I'm here for, you always know. So why don't you tell me bud

*Tai said leaning forward, his smile gone from his face as ozpin sighed and took another sip. Tai wanted answers and at the very least ozpin owes him an explanation*

Ozpin:you want to know about the rose of vacuo...

Now

With team JWBY

Morning

*We see the cargo airship landing, a group of workers walking to unload the shipment, and two of those workers arguing with themselves*

Mitch: remember the boss told us that there's a Grimm here, probably some rich jackass that wanted it as a pet. So to not attack it

Jean:not attack it? Is he out of his mind?

*Jean asked scared, he took a step back keeping the key of the door with him, Mitch sighed and took the key from him*

Mitch:I don't know, all I know that this is my 14th hour. I'm tired and I want to go home. And I'm honestly don't care if that damn thing eats me, at least my family will be fine with my life insurance

*Mitch joked, since he didn't believe someone would be stupid enough, or crazy enough to want a grimm as a pet, he opened the door and walked inside, he tried to find the light switch*

Mitch:now would you hurry up man? There's nothing.....

*Mitch froze as evil red eyes were glowing in the darkness, and they looked angry to be awoken*

Mitch:g...grimm!!

*Mitch said running for his life, jean having heard the scream ran the second he saw Mitch coming out of there. On the inside yang was laughing in a hysterical manner, since it was her idea to turn off the lights*

Yang:did you see that?!

Ruby:i sm...smell that, th..the po...poor man peed h...himself

*Ruby stuttered out softly with a ghost of a smile in amusement, the 3 of them walked out of the cargo ship, yang walked up to her team while Zwei did the same with ruby on top of him. Ruby glanced at the professor apologizing over something*

Mira:yeah, an apology isn't gonna cut it, that was high grade alcohol that your blonde student threw out, we have the Camaras

Ruby:first of all that wasn't high grade, I could smell the cheap almost expired smell of that wine a mile away

*Ruby said, finally back in vacuo, back to the place she feels like home. Her stuttering all but disappeared at this moment as the fresh unpolluted air of the desert filled her nostrils and snake like tongue. Ruby jumped down from Zwei like nothing happened, even when she felt a jolt of pain coursing through her body, as she walked to the woman trying to make a quick buck, oobleck tried to talk but a low growl from Zwei basically saying "let her handle this" kept him quiet*

Mira:excuse me? Little girl why don't you go play Dolly, the grown-ups are talking and...

*Mira froze as she saw the snake skin on the face of the girl, she didn't need a minute to realize who she was talking to, fear started to set inside her*

Mira:t..the rose of vacuo

Ruby:ah, so you heard of me. I'm flattered, no that's not the right word, I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed that a little bitch is trying to make a quick buck, by making us pay what i can only guess is 6 times the actual price of the merchandise?

*Ruby said walking closer and closer to Mira, ruby had one hand on one of her guns just for intimidation, and boy did it did the trick*

Mira:o..ok yes, b..but come on! You can't just walk away without paying, we've got quotas to meet, mouth to feed, I've got overhead to think about

Ruby:and money to skim off the top, yes yes. I know how this works. Unlike this fine....semi fine...kinda fine... Unlike this folks. I was raised in vacuo, and know what talks here

* In the background Yang flinched at that statement, she knew it would've come up since there in vacuo, but still yang just wasn't expecting for ruby to mention that she was forced to grow up here.Ruby took out a bag and threw it to Mira who caught It. Mira opened it and there was more then enough money to cover the crates*

Mira:I'm guessing the change is not a tip huh

Ruby:Camara footage deleted, we were never here

*Mira took out her Ipad and deleted all the necessary footage, showing it to ruby to make sure there was no doubt*

Ruby: lovely, now get out of our sights before you become target practice. And please don't move, because it's been a while since I've been able to shoot something, and I'm itching to get it over with

*Ruby said a a slow smile came on her face that brought fear into the spine of the woman, she felt as if she was a mouse about to be eaten by a snake*

*The grin ruby gave the woman was enough to send her running, ruby took a breath rubbing her cheeks*

Ruby: definitely overdid it with the smile, my cheeks always hurt when I do that

*Ruby muttered as she turned around and saw her group looking at her, ruby felt her social anxiety creep back up, seeing as these 5 aren't from vacuo, ruby started hearing a small ring in her ear that was slowly becoming deafening*

Ruby:t..tip, d..don't t..trust a...anybody, e...everyone.... E..everyone here is ju...just trying to g...get a q..quick buck

*Ruby said, her voice becoming quieter with each word, her anxiety becoming stronger as the group kept looking at her with unblinking eyes, the eyes were becoming bigger, the small ring was becoming a louder constant 'peep' sound, blocking the sounds of the world. Ruby walked passed them to be with Zwei. In reality they stopped being shocked quite fast, Ruby's mind just made it seem like they were looking at her in such a way, it only takes a a flap of a butterfly's wing to cause a tornado of anxiety to grow inside the mind of our outlaw. Ruby touched Zwei and petted him to calm herself. And coming back from the panic attack*

Ruby"I don't know how much more I'll be able to last without a drink in my hands"

*Ruby thought, she started licking her lips as a mental imagine of a disappointed Pyrrha made her stomach turn. slowly the noises of the world returned to ruby*

Weiss:oh how wonderful, I've met him. He's a close personal friend of the family so please allow me to do the talking

*Weiss said, ruby had to roll her eyes hearing the unearned tone of smugness coming from Weiss, ruby took a breath and hopped on Zwei, not really caring where they were heading*

Ruby: fantastic wake me when we get there

Oobleck:quite right, but miss rose, will you be alright?

*Oobleck asked concern clear in his tone, ruby was confused, but being with Zwei, having a physical contact to her pet, it made it easier for the rose of vacuo to come out of her*

Ruby:I don't know, I'm kinda fucked up in general so it's kinda hard to gauge

Yang:but will you be ok, you know..going to the capital?

*Zwei gave a small whine, the second ruby heard the word 'capital' he grabbed a chunk of zwei's fur so hard she ripped it out of his body, ruby gave a slow turn to her group with a forced smile on her face*

Ruby:I'm sorry, what did you just say?

Oobleck:miss Xiao long is quite right, we need to head to the capital to meet our employer. He wants us to research the abandoned city to see if it's suitable to live in

*Oobleck said reading off the message he got from the mission, ruby gave a low laugh*

Ruby:if I had to guess, that's code word for, he wants to make his slaves work there. If he's from the capital that's gonna be his tip priority

Oobleck:I'm not gonna lie, that's a big possibility, but we don't know, and we'll stay with that deniability to stay more morally grey, since this is also a terrific opportunity for me to researh a rare breed of Grimm that's rumored to be in that city

*Oobleck said in his normal caffeinated tone, ruby eye twitched while her hand was placed on the hairless part of zwei's fur, she used her silver eyes to quickened the healing process, ignoring the burning pain her eyes were giving her*

Ruby:fine, I'll play along for now. And don't worry, I can enter the capital, not the first time I've been there

Oobleck:terrific! Then let's head out, it's still a full day's ride to the capital, the client's rented us a few horses we can use.

*Oobleck said taking charge and walking ahead of them, team JWBY followed behind oobleck, with yang glancing at ruby who was doing some breathing exercises. Once done he clicked her tongue making zwei start moving. Ruby's second mission has begun, instead of resting like she should be, ruby must face another trial without her silver eyes and even more restricted movement less her bruises and injuries get worse*
