Who: Ruby and OPEN
Where: Various locations around the edge of town
When: The late evening of day 19
What: Ruby woke up and went exploring instead of playing with the communicator.
Notes: Feel free to intercept her at any point on her journey.


Ruby listened to the voice coming from the little device on her wrist. She listened, but she didn't really accept. She pulled her cloak tightly around herself as she stood, looking around at the sleepy-looking town and the strange little fountain.

She huffed a heavy breath in the cool night air, picked a direction and started to walk. She stopped to eye the pile of rubble that used to be the diner before following the road further towards the forest.

She spied an empty house and pushed the door open gently. "Hello?" It was seeming more and more like this was another curse and she wasn't so sure that she wanted to go in.

"I'm not much of a fighter." It's not strictly true, but it's a safe lie. She doesn't look like she can fight, so why admit that she can if push comes to shove?

"They're robot bears? That's..." A hard pill to swallow, but then so is everything about her life, isn't it?

"Yeah, well... they haven't bothered anyone in town yet. You're probably safe from the bears specifically, but no guarantee on anything else." Especially if she's not a fighter. Damn all you newbies, bringing out Kenzi's protective side. She shrugs, placing her hands on her hips.

"I'll watch your back, Rubalicious. Don't worry about it. So I'm a little rusty on the subtlety and stealth thing, I make up for it by packing a punch. Promise."

Ruby can't help the wide smile on her face. Maybe not in the way she speaks, but the meaning reminds her an awful lot of Snow.

"If you need stealth, you can always ask me. I'm told I'm a pretty good sneak." If Kenzi is going to have her back, she'll have Kenzi's too, obviously.
