Second Petal | Video | UN: ClickClickBloom

Hey there!

Ruby Rose here. If it's your first time seeing me around then it's nice to meet you and if it's not it's probably great to see you again!

So it turns out that this place is about as dangerous as the dream was. That kind of sucks, doesn't it? I mean- I'm used to all kinds of monsters in my original world but I totally get that it's not everyone's jam. which is kind of why I'm here today.

Back in the dream Mako and Wu had set up a safe house and supply cache system. I think it worked out really well and I've been speaking with Mako and we've agreed it might be a good idea to get that going again. I tried to convince him to get up on video with me but he got all grumbly and walked away. Introverts, am I right?

Ideally it would be super great to get one of these set up in each district but I figure that's going to take a lot of work. So I propose we set up the first one in either the Willful Machine or Cellar Door districts so it's in a central location and we can branch out from there.

Next we're going to need ways to defend and protect the area whether it's people actually actively hanging around, magical protection or whatever cool skills people might have. I'm open to any ideas here. Medical care and any sort of food or other supplies are also going to be necessary too.

Okay I think that's about everything-

[There's a buzz that comes from Ruby's Omni and she glances down at it.]

Oh-Oh! One second- It's Mako.

He's saying "We need to tie this into the network. Ask about extra lamp skeletons." Okay! First off! Rude. They're Cute Little Lamp Friends, don't call them skeletons.

But he's got a point! If anyone has any extra C.L.L.F's to lend that would be a huge help too. Being able to quickly access the locations would be a huge help.

Anyways that's all I can think of at the moment. If anyone has any questions or suggestions I'd be happy to answer them.

Since you're listening to this Mako, you can too!

[She points to her eyes, then back to the camera.]

Watching you.

[OOC: Ruby and Mako will be responding to this post. I've made a handy dandy page for the safe houses here. If you want you can post with how you're character is contributing there.]

I'll get on it then!

[It wasn't a rush job-- but it was easy to make a note to make a double batch whenever he set out making apple sauce, fruit butters, preserved vegetables and pickles of all sorts. With October looming, he knew it would also be a productive use of his usual stress coping method: cooking all the things!]

...You know, it's great that you and Mako are able to keep this idea going here. [Oscar added, recalling her energetic bustling and chattering over the last few days when she sprang into motion once more.] It... really suits you.

[She had an amazingly creative mind and an ability to make the calls that no one would even expect. Some would even say that these qualities were what made her a good leader-- and this was one of Ozpin's many decisions that Oscar actually agreed with.

Seeing Ruby out in the forefront again was enough to encourage nearly anybody to be their best self.]

[Unbeknownst to Ruby, he was already on it. He had started pickling leftover vegetables the moment he realized that the supplies for everyone might not last through the winter. Pickling, canning, and drying foods were a lifesaver during the darkest months of the year...]

Maybe that's why you were picked out to be Leader, Ruby.

[It was rare for Oscar to even venture to guess what Ozpin was thinking in any of his decisions... but, having known Ruby for well over a year now, he could see her peculiar strengths and how she influenced the people around her with her enthusiasm.]

You put your heart into everything, and that inspires the people around you to try to do the same. We all end up playing to our strengths that way-- and that's what makes a great team.
