Hello Weiss. I know that we haven't really seen much of one another here ~~and don't exactly hang out much in the dream world~~, but I thought that you would be the most likely person to talk to to find dust.

You haven't gotten a supply of it from the Dreams, have you?

~~well this is a surprise--~~

Hello, Ren.

My own weapon came filled with some, but the cartridges are nearly empty now.

I have spent a considerable amount of time lately researching alternatives to dust at the magic guild. Alchemical solutions, ways to use my own company's diamonds. I was about to ask Amycus if there was some magic from his world that might involve potion making, I was honestly that desperate.

But it's funny you should ask. I got a shipping notification the other day for an order neither I nor my father had made.

Mine came with a couple of cartridges as well, but after the incident at the beginning of the month I'm just about out too. But I thought it would be better to have some in preparation for another attack.

I hadn't realized there's a magic guild. I'm not much of a chemist, but perhaps I could help as well.

That couldn't be dust though, could it? Things from my dreams always just... appear.

It always pays to be prepared. You just never know what Orange County is going to try and dish out next, it's true. I have been trying to do some research on these attacks based on the woman on the network who seems to be the origin of them. If I'm right, we have definitely not seen the last of... whatever all of this is.

I discovered the magic guild on a post which was made after that... solar eclipse event in January? When I first started posting here, anyway. Amycus gave me a tour. I suppose my glyphs act enough like magic to be allowed entry, I'm sure anyone with a semblance could come and take a look. Do you want me to arrange something?

That's how mine always seem to arrive, too. And I wasn't expecting any other kind of shipment here, nothing this large. It's highly suspicious. But it could be dust?

	That's... not what I'd call reassuring. Do you have any idea what might be next, if this isn't the end? I think so. It's never a bad idea to know what resources are available to us. I'm not entirely sure why some of our semblances aren't considered magic in the first place. Let's hope so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know it isn't. I'm... sorry. But I do think we absolutely cannot afford to let our guard down too far. Let's see... I think it may be more Demons, next. We should be prepared for anything, of course, but I believe it might be Demons.

You would think they would be, especially for the more... outwardly expressive ones. Ruby's rose petals, or Professor Goodwitch's abilities, for instance. It shouldn't be too hard to show you around. I'll ask Amycus about it soon.

Did you want to come with me? To inspect it, I mean. If you have some free time, and assuming it IS dust, it would be far easier to catalog with someone else who is as organized and coordinated as you are.

	Why does it always have to be demons? Especially with Professor Goodwitch's abilities. Or even your summoning powers. I would appreciate it. I would like that, actually. I'd be happy to help you catalog as well, if needed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Because whatever dream world this is, it is not in the slightest bit creative. The wider threats seem to be A) The Burning Legion, which is demons, all kinds. B) The Scourge, which was created by the leaders of the former group, and consists of undead and horrific looking spider creatures. And in some cases C) Old Gods, but they don't exactly invade the same way I don't think, or D) The Horde, which we've already seen seems to consist of Orcs.

It's ridiculous, really. Most of them even arrive from the same portal, which one would think someone would have had the decency to blow up by now.

Team JNPR and Team RWBY seem to end up tangled up together quite often, so I consider you to be another team mate in some ways. The rest of you too, of course. Even Jaune. Now that he has, thankfully, stopped trying to get me to date him. So I am definitely glad to help.

Excellent! What time do you have free next?

	This sounds like it will be... so fun. ~~Why do I live here?~~ I think of you as a teammate as well, Weiss. I don't start classes again until late September. So I have plenty of time right now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It will be awful, and I sincerely hope that none of us gets hurt in the process. We should be training together, just in case. My team isn't exactly in a good place right now, but still. Why don't we go down this weekend, then? I have something I'm going the weekend afterwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought I had seen some tensions on the net at some point. I'm sorry to hear that. This weekend is great. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're bound to work through it all eventually. Dealing with two sets of baggage tends to take its toll on anyone. And you must have dreamed about the fall of Beacon by now so you probably understand something of what we're all handling. Meet me at the docks, then? Say, 1pm? I'll buy us some dinner afterwards if you like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, I have. It... was a lot. That sounds good. (Reply to this) (Parent)
