'Blackout'

Public Library of Tun, Vale

Qrow Branwen

Valean Huntsman

Skully was weird.

Of course that was an incredible understatement, the guy was probably a crackhead to be honest… I mean, he did just break into a library of all things. Then again Qrow just watched all of it and didn't even lift a finger to stop Skully all because he was curious… maybe he was weird too.

Qrow then thought to himself.

Though, he could turn into an actual crow. He pursed his lips before looking downwards towards the silver flask in his hands. Qrow snorted, taking another swig once again.

Skully was a good source of entertainment though, he fought well, he survived well, without aura of all things, something that was honestly unheard of to Qrow.

…Then again it was probably unheard of because no one actually survived long enough as a hunter of Grimm without aura, if that was the case…

"Props to you Skully." Raising his flask into the dark abyss that was the public library.

Oh and props to his cockroach buddy as well who was just as skilled, or less, considering the guy lost an arm. Though Qrow doubted that was the worst thing the guy experienced, imagine growing up looking like that, even the guy's parents (if he even had any, he's never heard of cockroach faunuses before) named the poor man "Roach". Kids were cruel, well people in general were cruel, but still, how could he have had a normal life looking like that?

Speaking of upbringings, that begs the question where Skully and his Roach buddy came from… they definitely weren't from here, that was obvious, but nothing about their clothing, weaponry, or even accent suggested they were from the 4 kingdoms, or even from Remnant.

Qrow's travelled, a lot, his missions require him to, paid vacation and all that jazz, and he's not once, in any of his missions seen anything or anyone match whatever Skully or his Roach buddy had. They didn't even match anything James' military currently had…

Of course, if Qrow went from this angle, that implies that Skully or Roach were aliens, not in the figurative sense of the word, but literal, as in not from here, not from Remnant, aliens.

Which was insane.

But he could turn into a crow so… the point fell moot. So if they were aliens, well, Qrow thought he probably earned a medal for being the first to meet them.

Qrow guffawed, slapping his knees, the liveliness of the act causing some of his drink to spill out onto the wooden floor, of which caused Qrow to immediately stop. He looked down, unable to see it due to the building shrouded in darkness.

"Damn."

Well, it wasn't his problem, it'd be the janitors, that or the stain dries… eh, still not his problem.

Joking aside, Skully's a good candidate. Qrow narrowed his eyebrows, a contemplative look crossed his messy features.

Skully has silver-eyes.

Just like Summer, just like Ruby... Except unlike those two, Skully wasn't cute, or friendly, or even human, oh and neither of the two were friends with a cockroach Faunus, or dressed in weird military-

Actually this was getting off-topic, what mattered was Skully's eyes.

…His voice was hot though, Qrow had to admit, perk for swinging both ways. Shame Skully was actually a skeleton though.

"Shame."

But yeah he should definitely report this to Oz, though, much as the man was a coffee addict (Oobleck was higher on that list) he still slept, so calling Oz would probably piss him off.

And he really didn't want to deal with a pissed off Oz, funny as that would be. Speaking of Oz and coffee, did he actually ever see Oobleck asleep? No… not once actually. One of Remnant's greatest mysteries then.

Qrow sighed, thoughts drifting towards other matters seeing as this issue was handled long-term. Amber was secure, she's in one of the apartment buildings in this town (which was named Tun, Oum that was funny), it's the reason why he came back here, (aside from visiting Tai, Summer and Ruby) to check on her, and reporting back to Ozpin personally.

Then he crossed paths with Skully and his Roach buddy, funny how things turn out.

Well, he should get going, falling asleep in the library would make him look like a bum who broke in here to get some shelter, (though some would argue he is a bum).

With a groan, Qrow rises from the leather couch, yawning and stretching after doing so, he turns and walks towards the back door Skully had left through.

He placed a hand on the knob, and turned it clockwise, greeting him was a shattered moon and crickets cricking. He exited out, closing the door as he did so.

A few moments later, if anyone were watching the library, not that there were any, they would see a crow fly upwards into the moon shattered sky. Disappearing into it.
