Launch Day [KRMA]; Rachel & Mayu

Mass Grave



A strange, obviously man-made stone mausoleum marks this area, and a feeling of dread extrudes from its inner sanctums. Within is a large, open pit filled with - shockingly enough - heaps of bones. A keen eye can discern that they're all fake, but that doesn't discourage the locals from using them as weapons - or from using each-other, for that matter.

Stay on your toes - the dead has a tendency to rise this time of year.



OOC: The GM for this thread is Xavier. GM's will RP mook (weak) Grimm during combat, to get players used to working with a GM. The combat system will not be used for these first two threads. Please begin by RPing your landing strategy!

Mayu steadied herself as soon as she was launched in the air, keeping her eyes forward and her legs below her. First priority was getting to the ground safely, and then immediately to look for Melody. There wasn't anyone else in this entire school she'd rather partner with than Melody. No one else understood her, and she sure as hell wouldn't want to throw her life into the hands of anyone else.

She loaded her arrow with psychic dust, channeling a glyph through the arrowhead, sending it off into the stone graveyard below. Her body hit the top of the arch through the air, hitting the least amount of kinetic energy, before setting off a second glyph.

Her arrow had glanced off of one of the stones and landed on the ground. Mayu's portals appeared and Mayu tumbled to the ground, rolling over her shoulder. Her eyes fell to the ground, scanning the grass. Until she found Melody, or at least someone human, she'd better keep her eyes down. Hopefully, she could recognize Melody by her feet. She had white armor... right? Red and white foot bracers? Whatever.

She gripped her bow tightly and kept her ears open.

It was a exciting day and the announcement had make her pump up hyper than ever. Rachel was grinning too much, and nodding at the words of Sycamore and Diantha's explanation about just everything for this day carefully. She can't hardly wait to see Grimms and the launch part. Yes, that is a interesting part to start off.

Rachel was stood on the launch pad, and had adjusted her goggles carefully. She unload her small staff from her back holster and press a unseen button, causing the staff to ascend longer into the original length of a normal staff. She held it tightly, and eyes look up at the sky as she lean down, ready to go. The launch literally launched Rachel off, and into the sky she shout in happiness.

Make a tongue click as she spin around in the midair before she saw a barren land ahead of her when she started to fall. Her fall was getting a bit faster and Rachel knew right away that she's going to injured at this moment. With her instinct kicks in, she hold out her staff and point at the ground using the end of her staff. The end of her weapon touches the ground and it cause her body to move over her staff and land it hard with both feet as if she had just done a pole vaulting.

"Ouch!" She shout so loud the moment she had landed. Her boots make her feet shaken, and it reach to her body. But after a second of that 'shaking land' she had made. Rachel smiled right away when she remember what she suppose to do now. Rachel start to scan around the place as she swung her staff, adjusting her goggles. This place is seriously like a graveyard.

"Wow, this place is sure bone-y as creepy, eh?" Rachel said to herself with a grin, "But first thing first, find a partner and then relic then I'm ready to be in!"

She wander off, whistling and hoping the partner is a girl or a nice guy and not annoying guy or something else.

Mayu flattened herself against the side of a gravestone, keeping her ears peeled and her focus of gaze wide.

"Eyes to the ground, Mayu, as soon as you land." Her father handed her her weapon and bags at the front of Kalos Academy. "There are a lot of unsavory students at this Academy, and if you make eye contact with any of them, you're stuck for four years with a beast. You're capable, and I trust you to make good decisions. Don't let me down."

I won't. Mayu scanned outward towards the grass. Find Melody. Or at least another human. This was not the time to be skirting around the issue. Mayu needed a human. Preferably one that she got along with...

Who else was there? Unfortunately, she had met so few humans before. There was Logan. He was nice! And Jeong. He was really nice, too! And a great listener. She would benefit from having someone like that on her team.

She gripped Arc in her hands, pulling a fire-dust loaded arrow from her quiver on her back. She listened for any sort of noise. None so far from the Grimm... She supposed she could be thankful for that. Fighting with her eyes on the ground would be difficult, especially since the eyes were one of the most important things an archer needs. That, and a strong set of arms to fire with. She loaded her bow, ready for anything.

... In the distance, she heard a set of footsteps. And whistling. She peeked her head over, looking out for any sign--any at all-- of a Faunus. What if they're like that amphibian creep from Lumiose?! What if they hide their Faunus parts?! What if they want to trick me?! Her heart pounded in her ears.

Rachel kept whistling and her thoughts became to wander. What kind of partner she’s getting to see? Are they strong? Are they well handle with their weapons?

She kind of wishes her partner was Nick, a human who is actually a cool guy and the fact he wore the combat goggles to begin with! But again, she want to pair up with girl. But she was scared at the thought of someone else. What if she end up with that human she met weeks ago? She want to say sorry to her the next time she see her but she wasn’t even sure if she can do that. But again, whatever that happened she will just figure about it later and should focus on whoever she’s going to be paired with instead.

She stop whistling and examine around the place she was in. It is her or, it’s the place getting…creepier and creepier each time she walk? It felt so spooky and yet it impressed her the most at the same time. She did keep herself caution in case there's Grimm popping out of nowhere. If this place is creepy as hell, then there could be…ghost types? She wasn’t sure if her knowledge of Grimms was right or wrong, but she did her best learning all of these from the mouth of her foster mother, Nana.

She stop whistling when she heard a fainting sound, as if someone moved a bit slightly nearby. Her watchog’s ears did twitched to that sound she heard, and look around with her ears trying to figure where was the sound coming from for she knew it is obviously nearby. She held out her staff, and went into a defensive position where she knee low, had her staff ready to fight or defend and eyes look straight ahead of her. Her eyes look around, held her breath and start to walk further slowly. She assume it was near that big gravestone. She can hear it with her faunus ears. She was glad she was really a faunus because that way, she can hear things and even through her semblance was her keen eyes, she was glad she can also rely on her non-semblance skill. Her head look around the gravestone and there, she found a human girl, with her arrow and bow in intact. Rachel just happened to smirk the moment she realised she had found a partner, and is a girl! Oh finally! She thought, and had her staff swung to her shoulder.

“Hey, look like we're going to be partners, eh~?” Rachel half-flirted, grinning as always and tail swing sideway when she saw a short brown hair lady...with a bow and arrow.

Mayu didn't recognize the voice of the girl behind the stone. She didn't recognize the feet, either. The girl responded with an ease to her voice. Partners?

"Not just yet. Stand still." She slid around the stone, her eyes on the ground. "I'm not your partner until I make eye contact with you. So, um... Please, stand still just a sec."

She approached her, careful not to make eye contact. If she was going to spend the next four years with one team, she was going to make sure that her partner was perfect. She didn't have much control over her other two teammates, but this was the one thing that was completely in her control. She moved in, eyes running up to the girl's feet. Closer... closer... closer, until she could see--

Tail.

"Oh, hell no. HELL no!" Mayu backed off, weapon raised. "Arceus strike me dead before I end up with a Faunus on my team! Get lost, rat. I'm not interested in working with animals. Go. Away."

She pushed past the Faunus girl, bumping her shoulder roughly with hers.

Whoa. Whooooa there young lady. Rachel wanted to say that so bad when that archer just point her weapon at Rachel. 'Course she did stand still when that human asked her so while back, but now when that archer saw something about her. That happened. She had no idea why. Wait, she saw her tail. That must have cause her to react that.

But the human girl's words make Rachel realised she had just flirted with a racist, a really big one. Okay, she's so not going to flirt her for now on, and plus, does that meant that archer also her partner, right? Well, that could gotten worse today, can she?

Then the archer just didn't look at her but her eyes on the ground as she attempt to pushed past Rachel. Rachel just turn around to ask her why but saw something ahead that she basically caught her by waist and said, "Whoa, wait, you know you're going to get into that gravestone ahead! Right?!"

Mayu screamed when the Faunus grabbed her. Her hands shot to the girl's arms, wrenching her from her grip.

"Don't touch me!" She cried. "Ugh! Fucking--"

While Mayu had done an excellent job at remembering her father's advice to keep her eyes down, she hadn't remembered his other advice: "Anger will cloud your senses." As Mayu freed herself from the Faunus the turned away, attempting to storm off, and ran, forehead-first, into the grave that the Faunus had mentioned. Her vision flashed and Mayu stumbled back.

"Ow! Sh--"

The heel of her boot caught the gass just wrong, as if by some sort of ill fate, and she fell backwards. Her arms reached out, as if something was going to leap out of the air and provide support. Great. Now she had hmilitated herself in front of an animal. Now she looked like an absolute fool!

Rachel's ears wanted to shut down when the archer start to scream. The human was able to free from her grip through anger, but Rachel warned her about the gravestone ahead--Right, ouch.

Rachel make a painful expression and mouth a word, "Ouch" while her hands was in the air as if she was suppose to stop her, when she saw her get slammed forehead against the gravestone.

But in that moment, Rachel noticed that the human slipped backward by accident Rachel's body move further, arms reached out due to her instincts, and eventually warp her arm around the human's waist and somehow she dip her and they make eye contact just as Rachel's lips turn up in a corner when she realized she catches her before hitting on the ground, and said grinning, "Gotcha, ...Princess!"

Mayu braced herself for an embarrassing impact with the ground--and possibly another rock, given her current luck-- when an arm around her waist stopped her. She was dipped backwards, and in her surprise, she grabbed at the Faunus's shoulders. The remained frozen like this for a short moment, Mayu watching the Faunus in surprise. Her eyes were weird. Black scalera. Ew.

Then, her expression melted into complete horror.

"... SHIT!" Mayu pushed the other girl, resulting in her landing crudely on the ground. "Ow-- ARCEUS!" Rolling over to her stomach, she pushed herself up quickly. "No! No, no, no! Go away! Pretend that--"

No, Sycamore knew, she knew that he did. It was too late. This animal was her partner. What ungodly kind of bullshit was this?! Mayu was almost too mortified to be angry. Almost.

"This is bullshit. Bullshit! He did this on purpose! Sycamore set me up!" She gritted her teeth together, taking a deep, shaky breath. "Alright, Faunus." Her eyes darted back to her new partner. "As soon as we get back to the Academy, I am having a long conversation with Sycamore. In the meantime, there's nothing we can do about this, so just... stay out of my way."

Mayu started off, trudging through the graveyard, before turning back curtly.

"My name is Mayu. Not 'Princess', you weird little rat."
