Ruby walked out of the Clinic with her hood up and cloak surrounding her body, Pietro had given her a small amount of money with which to travel to Vacuo. And now she was on her way to the nearest scroll shop to purchase a CCT Register Chip for her scroll. On her way she decided to test what she could do with Rose, and she thought about what identity she should assume, pulling her weapon turned Relic out from behind her, Ruby looked at the golden frame of the relic and spoke,

"Rose"

Once again time slowed to a halt, and out came Rose,

"Ah, Ruby, Tell me, What is it You Hope for?"

"Hey Rose... Do I have to summon you every time I want to use your powers? Ruby Asked,

"No not at all, Because I was made for the express purpose of helping you, and only you, I can hear whats in your head, so long as you think my name with intent to summon me, I will be able to respond. Though I can still be summoned by speaking my name, and I can only be summoned by you of course." The spirit replied

"Oh, well that's convenient. Uh, well I Hope that no-one in Ozpin's nor Salem's inner circles notice my presence."

"And so the dice are cast, now we wait to see if you roll a 3 or above"

And then Rose withdrew back to her Relic, and time resumed.


Ruby left the Scroll shop with a smile of her face, she had gotten both a charger for her scroll, which remarkable worked despite the 17 year difference in tech, and she got a Register Chip too. Now that she finally had CCT service she could look up the location of a tailor nearby, as sad as she was to do it her current style just stood out too much.

As Ruby made her way to a well reviewed tailor for huntresses she had a thought that might make the future a bit easier, Hey Rose, I Hope that whenever the next maiden dies, Their last thought is about a man, and I hope when the powers go to someone random, The random person is me. You got all that? Ruby thought, eager to test out her theory. And so my true power is tested, The Dice have been cast Ruby, Lets hope you roll Doubles

Ruby made it to the tailor, and after a quick discussion with the clerk, started designing her new outfit. Since she was going to Vacuo Ruby chose a loose fitting grey blouse, added to that was a matte gold colored cloak, similar to the one she wore currently, save for that the inside of said cloak was blue, like her mother's cloak's red on white, for her clasp she went for a miniature Relic of Knowledge that attached by the loop at the top of the lamp, along with the rest of her ensemble she had a half corset half belt that held up a pair of short shorts that were embroidered with a floral pattern in bright blue, she also got long brown stockings that had a blue depiction of a violet on the side, she got another pair of combat boots which, instead of red on black, were blue on brown. As the last pieces to add to her new outfit, Ruby got some brown combat gloves with blue highlights, and a pair of grey goggles with matte gold highlights.

Satisfied with her new plans for a new outfit, she gave her designs to the tailor and had her measurements taken, She was told that if she came back in 3 days her outfit would be ready, but just in case, she gave her new scroll number to the clerk.

Ruby then when to a cosmetics store nearby and purchase 2 items, blue contact lenses, and a blue hair dye kit. She then found a hotel for the night and slept the night away.


The next morning, Ruby was up bright and early, Following her normal routine, Ruby took a shower, then applied her blue hair dye, then put on her blue contacts, then she tried to do maintenance on Crescent Rose, only to find that her precious weapon no longer had any Allen screws on it. After trying to locate the screws that she knew held the weapon together, she got a stern remark from the spirit inside, I am literally a divine artifact made by the gods, I have no screws holding me together, I also have no internals, my frame is made up of Godly metal, and magic, I a indestructible and my blade is incredibly sharp, also my magazine is not removable, as I fire Bullets made of Magic that can pierce anything that's not warded or shielded with aura, though if you want elemental rounds you would need to wield magic yourself.

Ruby replied, "oh, um... I'm sorry then, I was just going through my normal routine, but it seems that now I have a 30 minute gap in my routine that I normally spend doing weapon maintenance."

So uh... I guess I'm going to need a new name If I want to fly under the radar... Oh I know um Aurum Lazuli, Golden blue, great it fits with the color scheme and makes sense, oh uh Rose I hope i can get used to responding to Aurum fast. A coin flipped thrice, at least one head? Or at most two tails?


After a few days Ruby got a message from the tailor that her outfit was done, after she went and retrieved her new clothes she went back to Doctor Polendina to ask for one last favor, a favor that was quickly handed over to one Doctor Arthur Watts, After a small amount of begging Ruby was now officially Aurum Lazuli, Graduate of Shade Academy. Leader of Team LMBR, a team that never existed, and whose members are posthumously promoted civilians. And so Ruby, now Aurum set off for the Sands of Vacuo.

And she hoped her journey would go smoothly, well, if your opponent is dealt 4 aces, Whats the chance of winning?
