Ethan rested upon the Guest bed courtesy of Ruby's offer when he revealed he isn't native to Vale. He was just resting his head on his hands with Rakyu curled on his chest.
'Man. This was quite the hectic day. Not even a Couple minutes in I meet a Cute Redhead, I Stop a Robbery, Get arrested, And then get accepted into a Huntsman school. What is my life?' Ethan thought. He hissed in pain as he nicked his hand on an exposed nail. Drawing blood.
He raised it up and stared at the Blood smear on his thumb. He Scowls. 'Right. I'm just some infected nobody.' He thought as he sucked the wound clean. He Spat his Blood out and watched it sizzle the wood floor and sighed.
He Couldn't sleep and Carefully put Rakyu to the side. He grabbed his Guitar and Duster and sneaked outside.
Ruby was a Light sleeper. That much is True. Even then she never heard guitar tunes in her sleep.
(Play OST: Little Wing 12 String Acoustic Guitar cover Jimi Hendrix Cover.)
She Got up to see what the Commotion was outside her window.
"Ethan?" She asks herself.
True to her word Ethan was playing his Guitar. It was a Twelve Stringed electric acoustic hybrid Guitar made of Carbon Fiber.
Ethan was plucking the strings to a Tune Ruby couldn't recognize but she enjoyed the Music all the Same.
She didn't even realize herself coming outside to watch him on the Porch.
"Wow..." Ruby quietly says. Ethan Screeched and jumped in fright. He turned and saw Ruby shocked from his out burst. "Ruby? Oh, sorry if I woke you up." Ethan apologizes.
"No no! Its alright. I'm a Light sleeper anyways. But I didn't know you can Play." Ruby deflects and comments.
Ethan chuckles and scratch his head. "Yeah. I liked the sound of the Guitar for a While now. So at some point I got bored of asking my parents for a Guitar and just made one. This is my thirteenth Creation." Ethan says.
"I see. Why were you playing late at night though?" Ruby asks. "I couldn't sleep. Usually playing helps me let my mind calm down." Ethan explains.
"Nervous to Enter Beacon academy?" Ruby asks.
Ethan Denies that with a shake of his head. "Its more of a Personal issue really." He replies. He then pulled out a Knife and Cut his palm to reveal his black blood.
Ruby was shocked to see him nonchalantly harm himself and then more when the Blood that dripped on the Floorboards to the porch began sizzling and eating away at the wood. "See I'm infected by Blackblood." He explains.
"What is that?" Ruby asks. "Blackblood is a disease that is transmitted by blood only and bites. It increases aggression, Decreases empathy towards certain subject and hobbies, Breaks down foreign Biological matter like wood or flesh, And Can poison the Infected if they make too much black blood as their bones created way more blood cells then normally or crystallize into little chunks in your veins causing blood clots. At first I though it wasn't lethal as I never suffered any major health problems other then food poisonings but now I gotta Bloodlet myself to make sure I don't poison myself in the Long run." Ethan explains.
"I have spent most of my life letting the chips fall were they may and overall I've dealt with this my whole life. So being worried I might die of poisoning or major blood clotting is why I'm nervous." Ethan finishes. He then notices a tingly feeling and looks at the cut to see it scabbing over and crystalizing. It pops off his hand to reveal it was healed up. no scar either.
'Well that's certainly new.' Ethan thinks. "I, I'm sorry to hear this. And, Sorry to know this has been what got you nervous and if I made it worse." Ruby apologized. "Ah its nothing to worry about honestly. Thanks to the medical cybernetics in my brain and veins I can keep a very close eye on my well being. I don't gotta worry about bloodletting for another Year and a half and the crystalization is quite long. Making it easy to notice and to take care of." Ethan waves it off.
"Still..." Ruby rubs her arm awkwardly. "Hey," Ethan places a Hand on her shoulder prompting her to look at him. "I can promise you that I ain't gonna die anytime soon. Okay?" He declares.
Ruby Blushes from the close contact but smiles. "Okay." She says with a Bright Smile. Ethan Blushes as well revealing his more black blush compared to Ruby's Red.
"Well, Anyways I'll be getting out of you hair now. I'm sure you're quite tired as well. I know I am." He almost to quickly says. "Oh yeah! Well, Goodnight then Ethan." She says while heading in. Ethan took a deep breath and tried to calm down his Blush but it only worsened. Turning his cheeks black as a Result. He sighed in defeat before heading back into his room.
Meanwhile the crystalized Blood Was Shining and stabbed into the Wood. It fell with the edge cutting straight through a Rat's Tail and revealing the really sharp edge. leaving a Rat to squeak in apparent pain and run away.
The Black Blood shard glowed a Deep red as It sucked up the Blood in the tail.
Ethan took a Deep breath and braced himself for the Motion sickness. Another thing Blackbloods are unfortunate to get is Motion sickness. Albeit its not as much bad as its annoying.
Rakyu Purred in its cat form luckily distracting him. So he petted Rakyu as thanks.
"Oh I can't Believe my Baby sister is going to Beacon with me!" Yang cheers as she hugs Ruby.
"Pwease. stahp." Ruby groans and Yang let's go. What's The matter Ruby? I'd thought you would be more excited." Yang asks. "I am. Don't get me wrong. Its just, I got moved two years ahead of my usual training and I don't want everyone to think I'm so special or anything." Ruby answers. Ethan decides to pop in.
"I can definitely Relate there. I don't like being praised honestly unless its deserved." Ethan adds.
He looks to them and unfortunately the Bullhead stirred and a bit of turbulence got Ethan to Keel over. "Oh god why." He groans trying not to puke.
"You okay?" Yang asks concerned.
"No, I'm Dying. Someone pass me the gun or poisoned drink. I'll die on my own terms." Ethan snarks.
"Oh, He's fine then." Yang waves off. "I hate you." Ethan weakly states.
Another Kid with blond hair was holding a hand over his mouth as he was looking for somewhere to vomit.
"Oh god its spreading. Run you two. Before it gets you as well." Ethan Jokes trying to keep his mind off his own Motion sickness. Sadly it fell on deaf ears.
So Ethan just wallows and suffers through the Ride. While Rakyu tries to make him feel better.
Ethan just Decides to rest a Bit to put his mind at ease.
"Hey look, This guy thinks he can just sleep on the floor and bring a pet to beacon because he got here two years early. Wanna teach him a Lesson?" Cardin sneers to his gang.
They nod and Walk over to Ethan who was simply sleeping. Rakyu growls at Them. Cardin raises his foot and stomps down. intending to hurt Ethan.
Ethan luckily Catches Cardin's Foot before he could do so.
"I'm over here Suffering from motion sickness and wish to suffer alone thank you very much. So get Your Ugly faces The Fuck out of my goddamn sight before I make them even more ugly by bashing them into a pulp." Ethan threatens whilst Twisting Cardin's Foot for emphasis.
He stopped when he heard the telltale snap and Smiled when Cardin yells in pain as Ethan snapped his Leg broken. Causing a Few fractures.
He Fell back While Ethan encased himself in a Blue energy coffin. Blocking out all noise.
He sighed in contempt as he went back to his nap. 'Should have thought this sooner.' He thinks as Rakyu purrs in his arms.
Ethan Dispels the Coffin and Gets up to stretch. Seems Cardin and his gang left him. Only to regret everything as He suddenly felt very sick and immediately ran to find a Good place to vomit.
He joins in with the Blonde haired boy and vomits in a Trash bin. "Ugh," Jaune groans. "Tell me about it." Ethan groans.
Rakyu Meows Prompting Ethan to look at Him pointing with his paws to Ruby being confronted by someone.
Ethan runs over to see Ruby somehow sneeze an Explosion of all things.
Ruby fell down onto her back clearly frustrated. "Yo whattup?" Ethan asks holding a Hand out for Her. Jaune right by him.
Ruby smiles. At least she has some friends here in beacon.
And Scene.
