Who: Ruby Rose and youuuu people
When: OOC: 7/28 - 7/31 || IC: 2/11 - 2/13
Where: Around Cerealia, especially in the street
What: Ruby's having some troubles--but then, not being able to see anything with a red color scheme would throw anyone off.
Rating/Warning: None!
a - around and about
[Everything was going fine for Ruby at first. Slowly but surely, though, things started to go downhill. Which is why she's bolting right up to you, eyes wide and expression distressed, and--]
Have you seen a red hood and cloak? It's really important to me, and I don't know how I lost it, but suddenly it was just gone.
[She's wearing it.
Right now, it's around her neck, there's no mistaking it.
But she doesn't seem like she's joking.....]
b - entertainment district
[As the days drag on, things just get even worse...... which is why Ruby's just minding her own business, trotting on forward, when she trips over a red and black motorcycle that she didn't even see in the street.
She tumbles into the street face first (ow), and then one of the helpful NPC androids tries to drag her out of the street, but that happens to be wearing a red uniform, and she stares in absolutely horror at it.]
Floating robot head--ack!
[Trying to stagger away from it leads to her crashing into a hot dog stand with a--you guessed it--red stand and sign.
Wow what a bad day.]

She sits up slowly, rubbing her head, and squints up at him.]
Ugh... yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for checking up on me!
[A beat.]
And thanks for not wearing red! Which...sounds weird to say, because it's my favorite color, but...
no subject
Nah, it doesn't sound weird, I get it. You can't see red things right now, right?
no subject
Oh... you too? I mean, not red things, but something important to you things.
[this sucks...she just brushes herself off awkwardly (she's also wearing red. so...???]
It's like we're all suddenly selectively blind!
no subject
Heh, selective blindness's about the only way I could think to put it too. For me, it seems to be things that have to do with my family. That's about all I can think of that links all the shit I'm having trouble seeing together.
no subject
[There are worse things, she's realizing. Though she's also so curious.]
Sooo...does that include things like... foods your family eats? Or--how far does this crazy blindness go?
[a beat.]
Am I going to someday not be able to see pink and shades or dark maroon too?
probably should have mentioned i was going with 2/12, whoops sorry!
Can't answer that, but I would hope this shit stops before we get to a point of having to use "someday".
[His eyesight is already bad enough as it is with only half a field of vision. He doesn't need this selective blindness on top of it.]
But for me, at least, there does seem to be some kind of...I guess scale to it? Some things are just blurry instead of invisible. I think the stronger the association, the harder it is for me to see it. And it's gotten worse since yesterday, on top of it. Like...yesterday, swords and guns were hard to make out for what they really were, but today I can't see 'em at all.
[Of course his affliction couldn't be simple and straightforward. Of course it had to be something stupidly complicated and layered, just to frustrate him.]
So...maybe as long as you consider maroon or pink distinctly different colors from red, you'll still be able to see them? If there really is a degree of personal association to it. But I can't say for sure, obviously. I don't know any better than you do what's really happening with all this.
oh, my bad! Got it!
That makes sense! So you just have to stop associating things with your family!
[A beat.]
Which is...obviously very important to you....and undoubtedly has a large impact on your life...
[....another pause, and she frowns.]
Yeahhhh, that's not gonna work, is it.
no it's my bad, i completely forgot to put it in the subject because i'm a dumb :B
it's no problem! no worries :|b
[But as good as she is with heat of the moment battle planning, coming up with clever ways to avoid issues like this is a little beyond her.]
So... if there's any other way I can help, let me know, okay?
no subject
Nah, don't beat yourself up over it. I'll manage. It's not like this is the first time I've had to adapt to vision issues.
[Kuzuryuu, this is kind of more problematic than losing your eye. You can actually ADAPT to the loss of an eye, you can't really adapt to progressively worsening selective blindness.]
Besides, who knows if my idea'll even work. No way CERES isn't behind this, after all.
[And they work in mysterious and unpleasant ways.]
no subject
[At least she's eternally full of optimism.
Wait.
WAIT. HOLD EVERYTHING--]
You mean you're not just wearing the eyepatch to look cool?
no subject
[This is the exact opposite of what being stuck with an eyepatch was supposed to do!]
Do I...really seem like the kind of person lame enough to do something like that? 'cause you're the second one who's asked that. [WHY. At least he doesn't sound mad at her exactly, just more disbelieving. Why is it so hard to believe it's for a legitimate reason??? Is it because he looks like a kid?????] I'm wearing it because most people don't really like looking at eyeballs that've had a sword run through 'em.
no subject
Oh. Gotcha.
[Injuries like that aren't so uncommon when everyone around you is a monster hunter, at least. Instead, she nods simply.]
I would've worn an eyepatch to look cool, but you've got a better reason for it. Don't worry though! It still looks cool!
no subject
[Truthfully, even though he's wearing it because he has to, he also wants it to make him look tough and maybe just a little intimidating. But...cool works too, he guesses? It's something, at least...]
Names Kuzuryuu Fuyuhiko, by the way. And you are...?
no subject
I'm Ruby! Ruby Rose.
Nice to meetcha, Kuzuryuu! Especially since you're not wearing any red, so I get to meet you properly despite everything. That worked out pretty well.
no subject
[Though it sounds a little weird to say something like "thanks for not reminding me of my family"???]
no subject
So what're you doing out here? I wanted to try to maybe help people a bit, but...
[Ruby is definitely the one who needs help right now.]
It hasn't really worked out.
