Well then... looks like the kitten has some bite to them. Red could not help himself as he grinned eyeing up the person whom had volunteered to house himself and everyone else. Sure, he could not see her soul and it's stats beyond the [lv] which was one, but he expected from that she would be soft much like the vanilla versions of himself.
First impression of her when she was singing that song was interesting too, and afterwords she went to a shy sweet woman offering them things and talking to them all like they were people. Something Sharron, the social worker whom he did not like very much, probably got annoyed by. Speaking of she is likely going to say something again wonder how kitten is going to handle it?
"Ma'am. I don't think you are fit to house these monsters. I would like to have the papers back please." He felt his grin twitch as he flicked his eye-lights to Ruth then felt himself tense. He could pick up the determination coming off her in waves, though it was not her main trait. He could sense another energy coming off as well but he could not place it. He quickly took a glance to Sans and the other 'judges' and saw they had likely sensed it to. It was something they were going to have to confront her on later.
"No. I am not giving you these papers back. I am not going to let you take them someplace where they will have some prick of a care taker that will degrade them for being alive let alone likely force them into situations where they will not be able to experience the surface and actually live free of the concern that whom ever they are place at will have ulterior motives. In reality that is something that government workers are suppose to not allow for people that are being placed into areas do. If they were a group of humans you would have been fine with this.
But because they look different your letting your bigotry closed mind racist views cloud your judgment and that is not something you should carry around since it is your job to help people." Sharron looks to be shocked and is sweating slightly. He looked at Sharron's soul and was shocked to see the woman's soul, which was a corrupted justice, having a white and gold energy swirling around it draining away at the corruption reverting it to it's unconverted state. Almost like if was rebooted or something. He trailed the energy back and it led to Ruth, to where ever her soul is cause he can't see it still. He felt himself twitch again.
He could sense that she is not aware of what she is doing, but it was clear she had the ability to become a mage if one gave her the proper training. What ever her magic type is he never seen a person with magic that had the ability to revert the corruption of souls. With the power to effect souls like that if she learns how to use it she could do anything. And that thought.. it made him worry that she could use it against them if she got corrupted from the taste of power and history repeating itself.
With no reset to undo the damage or save everyone if it should come to pass.
"Ma'am I.." Oh no she doesn't. She is not going to defend herself on this matter. Seeing her reaching forward to try and take back the papers she held them out of reach before deciding to reach back and give it to one of the skeletons the papers making a soft thwap sound when it hit them in the chest not looking away from the government worker making a mental note to get it back from the one that has it some point later to fill it out. Waiting until they grabbed it to let go she then point to the bus that is parked with a driver that seems to be taking a nap.
"Don't 'Ma'am' me. You should know better. I hope that if you get future monsters to assist you will think over how you have been doing things. If you leave now I will not call your superiors and inform them of your slip up here. While I hate how you in a position such as this treat someone as less of a person I would prefer to not be forced to stoop down to what ever level you are on to make someone like you suffer. I am not a cruel person at heart and I would rather keep it that way. Now please leave." Ruth Watched as the woman in front of her hesitant before relenting heading back towards the bus. She took a glance back to the skeletons and felt glad they had their luggage though it did not seem like a lot just a couple of boxes. She looked back to see the bus leaving and watched it go until she could not see it any more.
It took a couple more moments before she realized what she had done. She actually stood up to someone. And successfully made them back off and leave. "... I can't believe I just did that." she mumbled softly in awe before laughing softly to herself her adrenaline crashing down and she shook. "I actually stood up to someone... I.. I.. Excuse me. I need to take my anxiety meds I'll be right back." she had turned to retreat or at least try to but her legs decided to give out on her. 'Damn it the panic attack is setting in to fast I knew I should carry the pills with me.' She mentally rebuked herself before registering she was not falling down and that one of the skeletons had a hold of her having picked her up.
"I AM NOT SURE WHAT THESE 'ANXIETY MEDS' THAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT BUT IF YOU NEED HEALING ONE OF US CAN HEAL YOU. IT IS THE LEAST WE CAN DO AFTER NOT ONLY OPENING YOUR HOME TO US BUT ALSO STANDING UP FOR US IN DEFENSE." Stated the starry eyed skeleton whom was holding her with a bright happy smile. Ruth felt herself blush as she swallowed her mind flipping between wanting to freak out that some guy was holding her in their arms and wanting to melt in embarrassment that she had to be caught and held cause her body decided to have her legs stop working.
"I-I... um... okay..?" She squeaked out before clearing her voice a bit. "C-could you take me over to one of the chairs please?" She says forcing herself to calm down. She felt pleased that she was not having a flashback to when she was younger turning into a screaming mess. That would have put them all on edge wondering if she was insane flip flopping between helping them and being scared. Guess she was right in their not being human guys helps out big time.
She felt herself being set in the chair at the table that has ones of her plants on it and a hand placed on her back. She furrows her brow looking over at him and notice his eye-light in one of his eyes gone out and the there was burning very brightly, a scent that made her think of blueberry pie and crisp chilly mountain air. She found herself relaxing, wither it due to the magic he was using or feeling mystified by the way his eye-lights change. Made you think of a dream skeleton oddly you recall from your youth, you still saw him from time to time in your dreams. What was he called... gah this is going to drive you nuts until you remember. "Thank you... that helped out a lot actually." You say with a smile after he stopped using his magic. He blushed rubbing the back of his neck shyly.
…...
Oh my god he is a skeleton cinnamon roll if Minerva was here she would be so pissed at the social worker ten times over what she herself was earlier. She has to have her friends come here some time to meet them forget being backup these skeletons are going to be spoiled with affection and friendship if it is the last thing she does. She clears her voice slightly after noticing that the other skeletons are looking at her. Oh god she must have been staring. She let out a nervous laugh looking away feeling like the awkward shy one now.
"Right um... well let me just show you guys where the lunch is set up. Perhaps on the way you can tell me you names. I'd much rather be able to start a conversation with someone then have to say 'hey you' or ' '. I don't except you guys to want to be my friends right off the bat... especially since you probably been dealing with a lot of people like Ms. Idiotic Bigot Mc'Racist since you all have been freed. On behalf of the part of humanity that are not like that I apologize for everything you all have been put through.. nobody deserves what you all have been through." She says standing up, rambling a bit because of all her awkward feelings rushing around inside making a big mess.
She was not aware of the way all the skeletons were staring at her due to her being hugged by the skeleton that helped her moments ago whom was now spinning resulting in her giving out a surprised squeak. The spinning had stopped for a moment cause one of the other skeletons that was taller then the both of them joining the hug lifting the both of them up. She looked between them both with a surprised dazed expression trying to adjust to the dizzying sensation as both skeletons beamed smiles at her that rivaled the sun.
"HUMAN RUTH WE WOULD BE GLAD TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU!" Both skeleton's state at the same time, a couple chuckles could be heard from the skeleton group causing her to look over to see half of them looking amused, though some of them sported a neutral expression, of those that were not of either were two of them looked like they wanted to join in the hug but looked hesitant to do so. Her expression went from surprised to warmth feeling a feeling in her chest like earlier but much more passive. Wiggling a arm free and gestured that it was okay for them to join the hug.
No sooner had she done that shorter one with golden eye-lights and a circlet on his head came over joining the hug as had the tall winged skeleton. She felt herself be at peace and happiness coursing through her to the point she thought she was going to burst. She found herself very glad she had chose to volunteer and not regretting it one bit.
And found herself hoping that before they all decide to go off into the world she will get to know and befriend everyone and make friendships that will last until the end of time.
