"This one inherited but a spark of my original light."
Well, confirmation of Yin and Yang being the brothers, Salem was already going to have a bad time, but this is going to make it worse.
Both carps are whispering to the overwhelmed girl, whose silver eyes outright gleam.
Are they, are they helping her unlock her eye's power? Nooooooo, it makes it les fun if she get them without the emotions!
But the beast is clearly growing weaker. Its motions become slower, sloppier. Neither Salem nor the Jester are used to prolonged battles; today they face opposition that is not just motivated, but can also not be killed permanently.
How does it feel to be the one on the other side of having your opponent refusing to die, Salem?
"How curious that you hid it from me even though you must have known,"
It was funny.
Nough said.
Salem moved just as predicted and so the Lock slaps her in the face just as she completes her split-second twirl. Golden chains snap into place, then she begins to fall; the sudden motion makes the children's next attack miss, but that is fine.
Goodbye magic.
Hello slaughter. 😈
Which makes it all the sweeter to send a single Fairy flying. The gold stands out between gleaming grey and silver, almost touching one of Ruby's beams as it passes by. Salem managed to get as close as three metres from the edge, full of hope to escape. Then she spots the Fairy and does as before by interposing the stump of her right arm. She manages another two steps, unwilling to be harried away even to dodge.
She's going to regret blocking that.
Binah can see that twisted hope die in Salem, just before a lance of silver spears right through her head.
Thank you Binah for executing my plan perfectly, I couldn't have asked for a better one, bravo!
"I-" she starts, then swallows and takes a deep breath. Looking up at Binah and Angela, she speaks: "I want to come too."
Ok, I didn't see that one coming.
Awwwww
[X] Accept her desire
Wow, and just like that Ruby ditched her dad, her uncle, her sister for a simple matter of curiosity.
I will refrain from voting for now, but I have a feeling of what the vote that will win is.
How hilarious. This version of Ruby Rose is indeed as you said, an absolute psychopath.
Huh... Psycho Ruby. I could TOTALLY IMAGINE IT!
( i have always thought Ruby as a mentally ill person since watching the first episode)
If you want to see other kinds of interesting alternative interpretation of her and other RWBY's character, there is a quest named *a conjurer's journey*, it is a planeswalking quest though, and begins somewhere else, but the MC did end up growing roots in Remnant, they wanted Fallout at first but there was a... problem.
That aside, I will say that others already noted part of it: Ruby is fifteen. As the narration implies, she has absolutely not internalised the repercussions of what she is asking here. But it is nonetheless what she wants right now.
The point of the vote is this: do you allow her to get her wish and indulge her burning curiousity, which she will understand was a mistake later on? Or do you send her back to her family disappointed after taking her along to this point and teasing her with countless secrets most others will never even learn?
Man, you make it seems as if the second solution is even worse for her mental than the first.
No write-in vote sucks. But in the spirit of being Binah, and not Garion who would gleefully enjoy Ruby's eventual depression, I will vote for no.
Do note, her asking herself *what could have been?* for the rest of her life if she get back to Remnant can just as much lead to depression.
