(no subject)

Who: Team PPBY (Closed)
Broadcast: None
Action: On the Starlight
When: Now-ish, probably

[A couple students from the future have shown up, and that future sounds terrible. Blake hates it when things sound terrible. But, she thinks, maybe if they know things in advance, whenever they go back home, they can change things. Make whatever happened to them and their friends a little less awful.

But it's not something to talk about where they can be overheard, she can tell that much. And, well, the ships, overcrowded as they are, aren't offering much in the way of privacy. So, instead, she's heading down to the Starlight. She spent some time investigating the underground here, after all. Where there are people, there's going to be some shady types, and where there's shady types, there's going to be hidden, quiet places to make deals unobserved.

Blake has spent some time staking out some of the quieter places, before finding a small building she's confident is unused. It seems like it used to be some kind of shop, but now it's just a conveniently-empty building with a few chairs for them. She's settling inside, before sending a communicator message to Yang, Penny, and Pyrrha, telling them the location, and a quiet route to get there, and hoping that they can all get there without attracting too much attention.]

[Yeah, the mention of her uncle definitely sparks Yang's attention.]

Uncle Qrow was there? He knew about all this? The maidens being real, I mean.

He knew. They all knew. It—it can't have been something to make me doubt it, though.

Because the Fall Maiden is dead, and Cinder has all of her power. I fought her. There's no way our aura and semblance can have the sort of power that Cinder has.
onlyburnhotter: (sounds interesting)

[personal profile] onlyburnhotter 2016-03-08 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Cinder succeeded in getting the fall maiden's power? But I thought you were going to be the next fall maiden? How could she just steal it away?

[ Well, they took the robot news well, at least.

Or maybe there was so much going on they didn't hear her?

This seems like a bad point to ask for clarification on that, though. Instead- ]


And Mr. Ironwood was... in, on all of this as well?

He was, yes.

It.. the power went to her when the Fall Maiden died, because she was the last person in her thoughts when she passed away. That, and the power looked for her, because it was only half of what it could've been.
onlyburnhotter: (Oh boy...)

Point being, Cinder was strong enough to take on a Maiden, which, if we're believing that the fable is true, would mean that she's incredibly powerful. Great.

Before she—[She doesn't finish the thought, it didn't happen, but she knows where it was going.] She told me that she would do great things with the power, and that it was unfortunate that I was promised a power that I would never have.
