Ark: The Path To Remnant. (Ark x RWBY)

Velvet's stories.

3rd person pov:

Raymond is seen getting food for him and Velvet to eat for breakfast and Raymond strikes up a conversation.

Raymond: "So tell me about those friends of yours."

Velvet: "Are you sure? Don't you need to get supplies?"

Raymond: "I did that yesterday. I told you you can tell me all you want about your friends back home."

Velvet: "Okay, but where do I start? I guess I'll tell you about my parents.

Raymond: "I'm all ears."

Velvet: "Well my parents live in different kingdoms due to 'Different views of the world' as my dad likes to put it, but despite that they are still on good terms. My dad works as an engineer for the Atlas military, and my mom lives in Vale, where she owns a small, but popular bakery."

Raymond: "So your dad works with weapons? That's cool."

Velvet: "Yeah I actually made my weapon while I was with him for a summer."

Raymond: "What is your weapon if you don't mind me asking?"

Velvet: "It was called Anesidora. My dad showed it to General Ironwood who was so impressed that he supplied me with enough Hard-Light dust to last me months at a time."

Raymond: "What was Anesidora? A sword? Maybe a rifle?"

Velvet: "This will take some explaining. So Anesidora is a camera that uses Hard-Light dust to create copies of weapons that I've taken pictures of, but each copy only lasts for so long, and I also lose that picture of the copied weapon. Anesidora works incredibly well for me because of my semblance."

Raymond: "Okay? I'm sort of confused, but I think I get the premise of your weapon, but what the hell is a semblance?"

Velvet: "Well put simply a semblance is pretty much your own personal superpower. My semblance is called Photographic Memory. I can copy the fighting style and moves of anyone I see in combat. I mostly tend to copy Fox's fighting style though since it's agile and incredibly effective."

Raymond: "I take it Fox is one of your friends?"

Velvet has a sad smile while she thinks about her home.

Velvet: "Yeah. He's the silent one of our team. He's blind, but that doesn't slow him down. He actually communicates with the team through his semblance which is called Telepathy."

Raymond: "Telepathy? Sounds to me like a semblance is basically magic."

Velvet: "Magic doesn't exist. It's called a semblance."

Raymond: "Anyway who else do you want to talk about?"

Velvet: "Well there's the gentle giant of the team. His name is Yatsuhashi, but we call him Yatsu."

Raymond: "Sounds like he's of Asian descent."

Velvet: "Asian?"

Raymond: "Sorry it's a nationality where I come from. Please continue."

Velvet: "Well his semblance is called memory wiping. He can alter or completely erase one's memories, but he doesn't like using it."

Raymond: "Why not? I mean there are plenty of moments where it could be useful. Like using it to make a kid forget trauma, or well that's all I can think of off the top of my head."

Velvet: "He just says it feels wrong, so we never really pushed it. Then of course we have the leader of our team. Her name is Coco, and she's a bit of a fashionista. I can recall more than one occasion where she dragged the boys all around the mall on one of her shopping frenzies, but she means well."

Raymond: "Well everyone can get carried away with their hobbies, hers just sounds very expensive."

Velvet: "Yeah I have no idea where she gets all the money to afford everything, but that's everyone from home."

Velvet let's out a huge sigh.

Velvet: "That really helped thanks for listening to my rambling. It really means a lot."

Raymond: "It wasn't rambling. I rather enjoyed that conversation. Honestly it's harder than you think to find the time to have a conversation like that."

Velvet: "Really? It seems easy enough?"

Raymond: "I wish I grew up with modern conveniences, but from what Helena and Rockwell told me they had it lucky. Meanwhile I had to struggle, sure I had some help, but it was really difficult once I was on my own."

Velvet: "Well I'll join you next time you head out."

Raymond: "Are you sure? You don't have to if you don't want to."

Velvet: "I'm sure. I don't want to be a burden, so I'll help out by carrying my own weight."

Raymond: "Alright then. Tomorrow I'll take inventory and we'll head out for those supplies."

Velvet: "Understood."
