video; un: ushiromiya (cw: mentions of house fires, arson, murder)
So for those not in the know, our house burned down last month.
[ What a way to open a post, right. And yet Ange manages to say it with something very close to a pokerface. Those who know her well may see something at its edges though. An annoyance that starts to bleed more and more into the girl's tone as she speaks on. ]
And not in the 'dumb accident' sense. No, it's because apparently it's socially acceptable in this place to come to someone's house and set it on fire, before bringing your friends inside to start murdering its inhabitants. [ Okay, yes. At this point it's not thiny veiled annoyance anymore. This is obvious annoyance that she doesn't bother to hide. ] And before anyone asks me if I'm alright— I'm fine. Totally fine. I mean, I half-turned into a beast back there, but it's clearly cool. It's fine.
[ It's clearly not fine. The sarcasm is thick.
Though Ange seems to realise that's not why she was supposed to make this message, and manages to snap herself out of passive-aggressive-ville for just long enough to sigh and sound a little bit more neutral as she speaks on. ]
Anyway, we want to rebuild the house, but that's obviously something we need help with. None of us are exactly architects.. I think. I've learned to not question weird Remnant hobbies. [ You never know what those Remnant people are capable of. ] Not to mention we'd need help with the actual physical rebuilding itself too.
We could use help from a lot of people, so if anyone would be willing to help, that'd be great.

Private
... The weirdest parts are the ones I can't even remember. That's probably because my body was still a squid.
Private
...Were you there when Paul invited me to a duel and we ended up hugging it out?
Private
It's really weird.
Private
Not to get emo about it but I would be pretty fucking bummed if A2 started body jumping even for, like, fifteen minutes.
Private
A day, tops, was what I expected. I think something is messed up on my end, Anna.
Private
Private
...I did tell you about the tokens we had to make some decisions about when Deerington collapsed, didn't I?
Private
Private
Ozpin got information that breaking the token for Julia's mother would release her and let her achieve her true form, and he died for that information. Breaking Cynthia Sodder's token is what let her become the Moon Presence here.
... And we hoped that breaking ours would release us, too.
Private
[she says it somberly, but in a bit of a distant way, like she'd thought on it more when she was a different person with different experiences.]
Well, my main go-to on soul magic bullshit just revealed himself to be a total monster. So I'm not sure if I can recommend anyone to investigate yet, if you really think something's wrong.
Private
Honestly, I'm not sure what's up. So much in the dream came from stuff that could only happen in dreams. I'm thinking the this could be related to being... You're gonna laugh, being a Remnant of what's left of Julia Sodder's legacy.
All I know is that neither Ozpin's or my own magic has been the same since we got here. He can't use any of it, all I can do is use the bird shape I found in that place.
We tried to cut ourselves from the gods that abandoned our world. Maybe they're mad and finding a way to get back at us?
Private
As your older sister, I'm legally obligated to be looped in on any and all plans you make, especially if they start with a capital P or if they involve gods.
Private
He sighed. ]
I hear you, but I'm wrapped up in the demands of a completely different Godling I don't think I'm at liberty to disclose. But, I've got a powerful friend I can trust, too. If you meet anyone calling themself Pyrrha? That's her.
I'll keep you as informed as I can, okay?
Private
[back when she'd been more dedicated to searching for people on the shores. back when life was easier.]
Private
I haven't met many other people who get that problem, besides you and a couple of others. And this Pyrrha says she can keep John in line.
I'm not sure what I'm doing yet with that.
As for the other thing? I'm not the one making a deal. That angry kid has given me a Job and I'm not sure what their reasons are yet.
Private
[at least it's an easy name to remember. she considers what else oscar has to say carefully, and she's not... thrilled about it. her tone gets far less loose.]
What job did they give you, Oscar.
Private
I'm supposed to watch over and guide Paul without letting him get worse. Or else, well...
... I guess they'll gut me again.
Private
Makes me wonder what kind of horse they have in Paul's race, but I can't say I disagree with the idea. Just... the methodology.
I'm trying not to be the kind of person who says "I'll fuck them up if something happens to you" anymore, but. Please know the sentiment stands.
Re: Private
...I haven't told Paul or Ruby or anyone else. I'm honestly not even sure how to bring it up, or even if it needs to be mentioned.
Probably, we shouldn't even be talking about it.
Private
[she really doesn't. but if something does end up happening to oscar, at least she'll be able to give an answer.]
Let's go back, then. To Pyrrha. She knows John from before? Or is she just really privy to his bullshit around here?
Private
[hopefully, it would never be a problem.]
Pyrrha is someone who knows him better than most of the others from his world, so she knows everything, but she doesn't let her personal feelings get in the way of what she needs to do.
... She carries herself like a soldier. I trust her to do what's necessary and not be swayed by her personal stakes here.
Private
You picked a hell of a person to refer me to, kid. You know there's some bullshit alternate reality out there where I turned into that kind of soldier? [a dry laugh.] Maybe that's where Pyrrha's from.
Re: Private
-- that whole crowd is confusing. I only started poking my head in because Paul gathered everyone to fight that Leviathan, but then Willow also got involved with him...
Anna, are you talking about the You that's You, or the robot warrior girl whose soul matches yours?
Private
[she gives, in fact, several shits. the most shits out of anything she has ever given, really. but she does not need to talk about it.]
Listen, when you get your eye opened to the way that reality is all layered and the way that one tiny choice can change everything, it's hard to forget about. That's all I'm saying.
Private
Who was he to even guess? ]
Then, I guess there's a version of me that never left my Aunt's farm. Although, I don't know how easy that would have been. Ozpin just wouldn't stop talking to me-- and I'm sure the Grimm would have found us sooner or later.
[He sighed. ]
This multiverse stuff gives me a headache. I'm not sure how Uncle Ford can even keep it all straight. There's too many Earths, but they're all almost the same except for one little detail.
Maybe there's one where Pizza doesn't exist? Or where the sun never came up and everyone lived somehow in the dark?
... What would moon tomatoes even taste like?
