Lurking around to see who is still here.

What Supernatural Creature Are You?

The Werewolf

They look right at you but do not know you. They see what they expect to see, and in some ways, they are right, but they don’t know what lurks just beneath the surface. Each day you feel less and less connected to the parts of you that are expected. There is a violence that claws at your heart, begging to be let out. However, you are both well aware that when it chooses to take over, there will be no permission needed. It will do as it will. The part that scares you the most? Deep down you want to let it out. You crave the freedom it can provide.

“All our efforts came to nothing.”

What could she say? That there was any hope of bringing back all that they worked for? All they fought for? What way forward did they have now?

Winter took a deep breath and tried to think of anything that might help or be reassuring.

"...we have to keep going forward. Giving up is not an option despite what time we may have wasted."

[koeniginschnee]

“You’ve got the look of a woman who wants something.”

Winter didn't bother to move away from the window she was staring out of. The horizon in the distance holding her attention. It would be easier to just ignore him and hope he would walk away, bored from her lack of response. However, there was also the risk that he would continue to linger and pester until she answered.

Sighing, she pushed away from the window and turned an unimpressed look toward Qrow.

"What are you doing here?"

[koeniginschnee]

“With all due respect, I think I should travel alone.”

"And with all due respect, I think you're an idiot."

Traveling alone was just asking for trouble. Granted she shouldn't be surprised given that trouble seemed to follow Qrow wherever he went, but that did not mean the idea was a good one.

"Having a second set of eyes on the situation would be better."

“Family always stay together in the end.” (from Jacques, if you want!)

A long silent moment passed. Winter was trying to control her anger. He wanted to talk about family of all things. As if he ever gave a damn about family over his own ambitions. If anything he used the Schnee family for what he wanted, not for the sake of family.

The seething anger bubbled under the surface and she turned away from Jacques. There was no reason to stay in his presence any longer.

"You are no family of mine."

[koeniginschnee]

“Not thinking of jumping ship, are you?”

Immediately a scowl crossed Winter's face. She was not someone to back down from a challenge or run with her tail between her legs simply because things got too hard. If others wanted to run that was their business, but she intended to stay.

"What do you take me for? I do not turn my back on my duty. I will do my job as long as I am needed to."

[koeniginschnee]

“When the world is full of nasty things we must tear those things apart.”

A flat look followed the statement.

"It is never so easy as that." If only it was that simple. "Unless you are merely commenting on the matter of Grimm and not also deeper worldly and societal issues."

[koeniginschnee]

“I hope I’m not intruding by being here.” (from Pyrrha)

Before she even glanced up from her work Winter recognized Pyrrha's voice and shook her head. "You are not intruding."

A moment later she set down her scroll and gave the other a questioning look. "However, I do wonder why you have sought me out. Or are you just looking for a quiet place to be for a few moments?"

@koeniginschnee cont'd from here ;;

Weiss... honestly couldn't remember the last time she'd been in the actual city portion of Atlas. A long time, now that she thought about it. Between being locked up at the mansion where Klein took care of everything, to running away to Mistral in an attempt to find her sister, Weiss hadn't had a chance at all to visit the city.

"Somewhere you already know is open late is... probably better, honestly," she admitted. "I kind of... haven't been to the city in a really long time. You know how things change." She'd glad, at least, that Winter agreed; even if it was late, a warm drink at a cafe before heading to bed for the night would give them a moment to catch up.

Right now, Weiss needed that.

Gesturing for her sister to lead the way, Weiss squared her shoulders and followed Winter's lead to wherever they were headed to. They had a lot to talk about.

That was to be expected. Weiss surely didn’t have much time when she was last home to wander the city based on what information Winter was given. It was no trouble, however, to lead her sister to the café that she was familiar with. Winter often found herself wandering when the city was quieter when she was unable to sleep anyway.

“I will warn you it is nothing fancy.” Not that Winter thought Weiss would mind, but it was probably better to set expectations. 

It did not take long to walk from the Academy to their destination, and once they reached the little corner café, Winter gestured toward the door. The windows showed only a few people were inside, but it looked cozy from the dark, worn wood and plush booths set up for patrons. 

“They do supply a variety of teas and pastries. Coffee is also on the menu, but unless you plan on staying up for a while, I would advise against it.” For now it was easier to talk about the small establishment than anything else. Winter didn’t even know what to ask first, or what Weiss wished to discuss with her. 

A gloved hand gripped the door handle and Winter held it open for her sister.

i’ll  tell  you  when  you  get  your  soft,  italicized,  “oh.”

the unrelated moment

you tend to be more preoccupied with practical things, to the point where you've been blinded to matters of the heart. sure, you're close with this person. you like to be close with people. it is rewarding to know and be known in return. you leave realization no choice but to sneak up on you. they're not even in the room when it happens. someone or something else spells it out for you, an observant friend's passing comment or a particular sentence you were reading in a book, and suddenly it hits you, what it all means. the person your feelings have been building themselves around. Oh. it's them. it's time. it's them and you, here and now, and you have to decide what to do at this crossroads. luckily, you're practically-minded.

Finally, now that they have a moment to take a breather, Weiss is just going to slide up to her sister, a little sparkle in her eyes.

“Um… Winter? I know it’s kind of late, but… do you want to get something to eat?”

// from @schneeisms — thinking early v7 or so? I just want schneester bonding ;~;

Winter raised a brow at her sister, not fully expecting the question directed at her. Would she not rather spend time with her team?

After a brief pause, she gave a brief nod. "I know a café that stays open later, or did you wish to choose the location?" The preference did not bother her at all. This was an opportunity to spend time with her sister, however. They did not get this chance often enough.

📚 👗

[ 📚 ] what books does your muse have on their bookshelf? what books would they like to have? if your muse isn’t an avid reader, is there anything they collect or might like to collect?

She doesn't have many books on hand, but some of her collection includes history books, some mystery novels, and the occasional romance novel that she will deny exists.

[ 👗 ] what is your muse’s fashion sense like? are they able to dress the way they want to? what would they wear in an ideal world?

Already answered, but have some additional info. For fancy events she would try getting away with her military uniform, or if that was strictly not an option, any dress that also tends to have sleeves and covers her while still being tailored to fit. Some of the rather revealing options some people wear are not to her personal tastes.

🤝, 🏆, 👗

[ 🤝 ] how does your muse approach intimacy? are they hesitant, or do they like it? what types of intimacy do they like and dislike? (ex. physical intimacy, sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, etc.)

She is very hesitant about any form of intimacy. This is due to her upbringing and her time in the military. Winter keeps up walls and distances herself from people to a harmful extent.

[ 🏆 ] is your muse multitalented? what are their hobbies, and why did they pick up these hobbies? if they don’t have hobbies, why don’t they?

There was a time when Winter kept up her skills of playing the violin, ballroom dancing, singing though not to Weiss' skill level, and sketching. Currently she is out of practice in all of them and would need time to get back to where she was.

Recently she has kept up more on her fighting skills as sparring has proven to be one way to pass the time.

[ 👗 ] what is your muse’s fashion sense like? are they able to dress the way they want to? what would they wear in an ideal world?

Her military uniform was her usual outfit. Outside of work can very between comfy clothes she lounges around her apartment in, such as leggings and warm sweaters, but there's also the more polished look of heeled boots and tailored coats, blouses, skirts, and the occasional dress.
