[Ruby had already begun looking around for anyone that needed help as soon as the announcement had been made. The idea that people were falling for the obvious trick was... upsetting to her and understandable all at the same time. Of course, when she got surrounded in the streets, she just sighed, one hand going to where Crescent Rose was holstered.]
You guys do realize, I only have one necklace, right?
[There was no response but a few chuckled as she pulled her mechanical weapon from its holster, obviously thinking they were safe from it. Half a beat later, 8 of the assailants lunged, various weapons converging on where she had been standing only to connect with a handful of drifting rose petals. One of the masked men looked up and called to his friends to do the same, where Ruby hung in the air for a moment, weapon unfolding before a muzzle flare and gunshot rang out behind her, sending her rocketing down to the ground with intense force. She was extra careful to not use the blade of the scythe on any of the assailants, but she was not merciful otherwise. She used the momentum of the scythe to fling herself around only to then plant her feet and transfer that momentum to the weapon again. It was as if she were dancing as she dispatched the crowd with little effort.]
Man... these guys really have no idea what a Huntress is capable of...
phase iv
[It had been a long couple days, and Ruby was exhausted. She didn't even care about the non-apology they had gotten. She was more concerned about the people she had been able to help, and the people she didn't get to. For now, she was just going to go back to her apartment and leap into her suspended bunk bed and do her best to forget everything. However, she doesn't quite make it back , having taken to using Crescent Rose as a walking stick. Instead, she winds up slumping against a nearby building, yawning, and dozing off.]
BONUS
[It had only taken a quick nap for Ruby to get another burst of energy, and she caught a second wind when she saw the bounce castle. She hadn't been in one of those since one of the Vytal Festivals when she was just a little kid. With nearly reckless abandon, she pulled off her boots, unfolding her scythe and burying the blade deep into the ground nearby to prevent theft, and dove head first into the castle, bouncing and giggling as the stress of the "game" seemed to melt away.]
