It was another day of Port's boring stories, Oobleck's fast-paced lectures, and Glynda's grueling training. It was now Saturday and both Team RWBY was just heading back to their dorms until they noticed a package in front of their dorm. So, both teams entered the dorm and stared down at the package.
"Was anyone expecting anything?" Blake asked everyone in general. No one replied.
"Well, it's clearly addressed to us, so it be from someone who knows us" Weiss said, having spotted the card that read "to team RWBY" on it.
"Wonder what's inside" Yang said. The package, itself, was a small box, but had a little heft to it, so it wasn't overly expensive, at least.
"Well, one way to find out," Ruby said, about to open it, but was stopped by Weiss.
"You dolt, you can't just go and open it, like that" she scolded.
"Why? It's for us" Ruby said with a confused look.
"Yes, it's addressed to us, as a team. In case you haven't noticed, but we've made a few enemies and this could be a trap sent by them" Weiss said with a sigh.
"We won't find out if we never open it" Blake said, using Gambol Shroud to cut the tape. Inside was a CD case.
"A CD? Who sent us a CD? And what are they about?" Yang asked, picking one up. Ruby found a note and read it.
Dear Team RWBY
Inside these cases are the end result of a special project of mine. First, let me get this out of the way: You won't find anything that is mentioned in this CD on Remnant. Why? Because it's from another dimension. My home dimension of Erath, actually. A Yes, I'm quite aware of how crazy and idiot that sounds, so don't bother pointing it out. It's part of a minor project of mine I've been working on for a while now and with some help with a friend on getting the tech to pull this off, in the first place. It's an old series called Lost Tapes that I used to watch as a kid. Now, you don't have to watch this. You can even throw it out. I have copies. But, I do recommend you do. You might learn a few things.
From, a fan.
"Another dimension? How stupid does this guy think we are?" Weiss asked with disbelief.
"I don't know, Weiss. I just looked up this Lost Tapes and there are no matches found" Blake said, staring at her Scroll. Weiss did the same and saw she was right.
"Besides, what harm is there in watching this. It's just one CD and judging from the note, the writer is a pretty friendly guy" Yang said.
"Yeah! Movie night!" Ruby exclaimed. Weiss sighed at her childishness.
"I suppose it couldn't hurt…" suddenly, she found herself dragged to the couch that was in front of the large cutting edge TV that was purchased by Weiss, herself. The four plopped down onto said couch and Ruby put the CD in. The screen remained black, but ominous music played and words flashed across the screen.
The presence of hidden creatures is the subject of continued debate.
"Hidden creatures?" Blake asked.
"Beats me?" Yang shrugged. The music made her a bit on edge, though. Same with Ruby.
The following stories are inspired by the possibility of their existence. Some viewers may find the material to be extremely graphic and disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
"Disturbing…" Ruby whispered out and hugged Yang. She always did scare easily, but she was a Huntress! She can handle this, especially with her teammates at her side. Blake found the idea of there being creatures unknown to the world to be very curious. She wonders if these are creatures from this Earth. Suddenly, flashes of footage appeared, catching RWBY off guard.
"There are creatures science refuses to recognize. But, new technology makes us question what's real. If our eyes see it? If our cameras capture it? Does it exist?"
That sent shivers down their spines. Those were very good questions. There are reports of strange unknown Grimm all the time, but some are dismissed as fake, but those questions are very much valid.
"Enter a realm where fact meets fiction. Science meets legend. Where nightmares come to life. Do you believe?"
Weiss sucked in a breath at that question. It's as if the show, itself, was challenging her.
"Lost Tapes"
Okay, everyone! Here we go! My attempt at another RWBY reacts! Now, I want to seriously apologize for getting you all hoped up on them watching Batman. I might try it, again, but right now, I don't have access to the entire series unlike the major fans of the series. Besides, I first need to get an established writing style for this. Now, some of you may wondering "what is Lost Tapes"?. Well, it's an old show about old legends, criptids to be exact. It informs you of various legends such as Chubacabra and the Yeti while showing scenarios of them in action. The footage is fake, of course. It was one of my favorite shows growing up. But, it's very liberal on death and showing of blood, so if that makes you sick, it's not for you.
I also want to address something about the budding RWBY reacts/watches/reads community: the sheer lack of creativity! Serious, 7 out of 10 stories I read are about alternate versions of RWBY, itself. Jaune especially! And it's seriously getting old! Some of the best stories on this are completely original, such as RWBY and JNPR watching Red Vs. Blue. I enjoy this new genre of RWBY stories, but I would love there to be more originality in it!
... You know, me getting annoyed by something enough to drop my usual neutral, non-judging stance is EXTREMELY rare. So, that says something about the frequency of these types of stories.
Now, I'll excuse me, I got a trip down memory lane to book.
