[She shouldn't post. Honestly, so long as anyone she knows is here Blake is half tempted to just throw this damn thing away - not because she does not want to see anyone again, but because what possible chance is there that they'd want to see her again? From the posts she's seen vigorously scouring the network they're from earlier down the timeline, which is one of the many concepts that completely baffled her on entry, but hopefully she'll get it eventually?

But there's no way she can hide who she is, no matter how she slices it. If she posts, she'll be found out eventually. If she doesn't, she'll be found out eventually. She's read through all her teammates' posts as research, and then some. Blake Belladonna came up. This isn't what she had wanted to happen, but how could she have predicted... this?

Her voice is even and low, with just the barest hint of a rasp to it.]

Hello. My name is Blake Belladonna, but... some of you already know me. I think I understand this place from what I've been told, but if anyone else has something I should know, I would welcome the advice. And...

[There's a long pause as she turns what she should say next over in her head.]

If anyone is looking for me, I'm leaving this town now. I won't be travelling very fast.

[Click! Off.]

[Blake Belladonna, huh?]

you must be the elusive b
man im gonna have to change yalls team name all the ways around to account for both you and penny being here
the fuck am i supposed to do with all these consonants
team brwpy?? nah
rypwb
wait bwrpy i got it
anyway hey im dave strider
sup

Sorry, but the first letter is team leader.

[And she certainly doesn't have that in her. But honestly RWPY might be just fine for now.]

Am I supposed to know you?

nah im not from remnant
but ive been hanging out with penny and your teammates since i got here pretty much so ive at least heard of you
thought id introduce myself even if ive been temporarily dislocated from them so you wont get to meet me when you all hook back up

I guess I have a whole new group of people to meet now, don't I? I suppose I'll see you around then, Dave.

yep
anyone else types in a color like this theyre probably a friend of mine and likely on familiar terms with the rest of your girls too so heads up on that front
were a nosy friendly bunch

I'll keep that in mind. Why the colors?

why the team names
im kidding
its just an in group thing
theres not much rhyme to it except that all of were doing it at some point and i guess it stuck
reds been my color for like
christ i dont know probably since my infant peepers were able to discern different wavelengths of visible light

Well, it's good to have a favorite color. I guess I don't have to change to stick to mine.

black
......
..............................
your name is blake
and your favorite color is black

Or dark purple, but yes.

youre THEMED
all of you!
holy shit how did i not notice this before
whats penny supposed to be copper??? jesus christ
i will never be able to unknow this

It's Remnant tradition to name children after colors. Some are more obvious than others.

Edited 2016-06-15 00:11 (UTC)

yeah but
i dunno if my name was red or something id probably pick a different favorite color just out of spite
but you all clearly stick to yours??
amazing

I don't really think about it much, but I suppose it would seem a little strange from a world where that isn't tradition.

my name and theme color are pretty much the ONLY thing about me that isnt some kind of dumb predestined thing so yeah its kind of weird to think about

I see. Everything being predestined is strange for me to think about too, for what it's worth.

well not EVERYTHING
or i guess everything if you think about it in a really restrictive sense but that kind of thinking doesnt get you far in practice
but anyway i dont want to get into it and its not something id share with someone who just turned up in a new world either especially when my universe seems to be such a massive outlier from everyone elses
are your basic new arrival needs being taken care of
transport food clothing etc?

That's fair, I'm certainly not one to pry into other's affairs on the best of days.
Weiss is coming to pick me up. I assume we'll discuss those things long-term when she arrives.

yeah
luckily its warm now too so things wont be super dire for you before weiss gets there
i dont know if anyones warned you yet but dont eat the berries on the side of the road
theyre safe for pokemon but no good for our apparently less robust digestive systems

Got it. What sorts of things do people do for food in a world where the animals are all like this, anyway?

go
to the store????
sorry i really try not to question that shit but ive been working on a farm for the past couple weeks and tbh im pretty sure i have an idea
its just for whatever reason the npcs dont ever want to address it
i guess because theyre trying to keep shit rated e for everyone

Ah. Got it. So it's another "just go with it" thing. There are a lot of those today.

you get used to it
its easier if you like video games but i dunno how much time yall huntresses had for that kind of thing at ass kicking school

I go for books before games, generally. But I'm sure I'll figure everything out in time.

yeah living here by and large isnt too much of an ordeal
careful with the books though theyre all
punny
