Monster Blake P.1

This outlines one of the first portions of Blake’s story as it lines with everyone else’s. The back story is very brief cuz i still don’t know how to make Adam yet but into all the other good stuff of making team monster!RWBY is starting here with Blake’s story.

Blake is a Harpy who has a fondness for study in arts. She often steals books from human ships. Her relation with Adam is a simpler one where he terrorizes and kills creatures she kidnaps at his request, saying "This person is truly evil their crimes are merely too small to notice". As a Harpy she can sense evil intent or murder and takes crimes very seriously (though she doesn't realize until later that she has been fooled by Adam and has been helping him murder innocent people. His own evil presence always out weighted the kidnapped creature) . Eventually she finds this out and believed she needs to live different for the safety of those she loves (after all other monsters may find out about her actions and hunt her and her family) . She remembers reading of Towns where monsters could buy different potion to give them human appearances or give the humans magic and monsters power. She goes to several towns asking the best place to buy a potion to give her a human appearance and hears of Dust till Dawn, a small family owned potion store that sold decent potions at a low price for monsters and humans alike. This becomes her destination and is where she encounters Ruby Rose first. Upon entering the shop she speaks with Ruby and orders a set of potions, Ruby tells her that the potions will take a few days to be brewed and that she'd need a few feathers from Blake to properly weight the potions attributes. Blake hands over a few (or I guess allows Ruby to pluck a few from her Scruff). Ruby suggests Blake go look around town as it is Monster friendly and to find a good Inn. Blake thanks her, notices some books on her way out and leaves. As she wanders the town a bit she thinks about the books and decides to go back in the morning to see them. She finds a large Inn (at a small price surprisingly) and stays the night. The place is a large open oval room on the roof. A Griffin and Hippogriff are also staying several cutouts down from her and she ,oddly enough, feels at home. The next morning comes and she goes back to Dust till Dawn to find the front door to the shop still says closed but the door slightly ajar and with claw marks all along the door's handles and a key in the lock. Unsure of what to do she slowly pushes the door open and it slowly reveals the shop appearing ransacked. She steps in slowly and notices a red cloth behind the register counter reminding her of the cloak she saw Ruby wearing. She calls out a few times lowly to Ruby and the third time the cloth shifts and a snarl with a grunt emerge from behind the counter. Blake freezes and lowers her body, spreading her wings and getting ready to stride back if needed. She takes a small step back as the snarl and grunt stop, creating a silence. Her foot creates a soft scuff sound and immediately a wolf jumps up over the counter to her, scaring her. She tries to fly up suddenly but slams her head against the ceiling, unintentionally knocking herself out. She then wakes up to someone calling her name in a small voice. When she opens her eyes though the wolf is staring her down, so she frantically beats her wings. As she does she knocks over some things on a small table and the voice that called her awake yells "Ah wait Blake!" She slows and stops as the wolf steps back defensively, also trying to catch the things on the table. Blake pauses staring at the wolf then asking "Ruby?" The Wolf smiles and gives a laugh,"yeah hh sorry, if I scared you!" Blake realizes she was laying on a cotton pad and is in a separate room than before, a door to the shop on the right wall. A voice calls out to Ruby and a Blonde girl, appearing older than Ruby entered. She had a noticeable scarring around her face and she wore fairly plain clothes. Ruby introduces Yang and they reassure Bake that nothing terrible had happened, explaining how Ruby was a Werewolf and had forgotten to take her potion at the right time, causing her to have a violent transformation that morning when she was trying to open the shop. Yang stated that the potions they made worked well for long periods of time but need to be taken in certain amounts consistently otherwise a whole new batch needs to be made. She then gave a small scold to Ruby that they'd need to make her a new batch now. Ruby gave a wolf grin saying that maybe they could wait a few days to start it. Blake too notice to it and asked why she'd want to wait for something so useful. Yang rested back in her seat with grin as well saying it was because Ruby preferred her Wolf form but that she scared others coming into the shop. It surprised Blake that a monster running a shop that sold potions made to change their appearance, would actually prefer to be in their monster form. And yet it was understandable that the reason she'd need them is so she wouldn't scare others. She was at least 1 foot and half, 2 feet, larger than Blake and aside from her voice she seemed very ferocious. Ruby then apologized if she scared Blake saying that she had fallen asleep after transforming and wasn't sure who had came into the shop as their had been several break-ins in town, where humanized potions were being stolen. Yang states that she assumed it was due to the properties used to make them, especially since the main brand being stolen were Schnee's. A potion brand made by a family a high leveled Vampires who use magic and can grow certain rare plants to enhance the potions power. Though it's also the most expensive humanized potion, it's the most potent and can be taken much less often than any other brand's. Just the fact that Vampires had such a notable profile surprised Blake as she'd hardly hear anything about them other than maybe a few specific missing persons that were found to be a Vampire's victim. The idea was interesting to her if surprising. Ruby jumped in saying that the heir to the Schnee's Craven Company often preformed at concertos to promote their brand and show a Vampire's variant powers. She then seemed to remember something and told Yang to mix a something from a couple of drawers. As Yang got up to do so one of her forearms flew loosely and her hand went limp. She gave a quick curse told Ruby she'd fix her arm first and then mix. Ruby gave a knowing and happy nod and Yang proceeded into another room. Ruby leaned over to Blake and explained that Yang was undead and had to constantly resew her limbs on and replace them. It made her fairly upset that it's something she has to consistently take care of. Some time passes with Ruby and Blake talking a lot about the books in the store they sell before Yang returns with a tea set on a tray. Seem of the ingredients includes grassy herbs and Ginger with a few flower petals in a small bowl. Yang sets the tray on the table that Blake had previously knocked over and begins mixing them as Ruby continues their conversation. Blake tells Ruby about the limited but interesting books she had collected over time and about a few of her favorites. One of which Ruby recognizes the title of and jumps up and over to a shelf, pulls off a book, and brings it to Blake. "This is a sequel that the author asked a friend to write for them!" Blake took it slowly examining it closely, running a few feathers across it. Ruby tells her she can have it if she'd like. With that Ruby turned back to Yang asking about the tea and Blake stared at her a bit. She then fluffed her scruff and scooped up the book rubbing it against her scruff. Ruby looked back to her and smiled. Blake froze and blushed. Yang then poured some of the tea for all three of them. Blake thanks them and tells them she'll be back tomorrow. The next day Blake gets her potion and Ruby asks her where she'll be headed next. Blake thinks for a bit before stating she'd go to the one of the largest city that had monsters and humans, as she never really encountered many humans who were comfortable with monsters. Ruby suggests Vale, a large popular town a few days away, mentioning that she and Yang would be headed out there soon themselves and they could meet again. Also that the heir for Schnees would be there for a free concerto around that time. She strongly agreed and said goodbye for now. On her way out of town she stopped at the Inn to check out and drank one of the potions, carefully reading the instructions with it. She's surprised by her human appearance and adjusts her outfit the best she can and most noticeably she felt colder. She stops at a clothing store on her way out of town purchasing a coat as well. It took her a few days but she arrived at Vale. She immediately noticed posters all around town promoting the Schnee's Craven Company and the concerto they were to hold. Also noticeable there was a larger range of monsters from large ones she didn't recognize to squirrely ones that dipped past others. Then humans. They were noticeable because they didn't seem any different than she was at that moment. Though she also knew that didn't really mean they were human. She several blocks into town and was passing a restraunt when she felt a bit unusually hot. She then remembered it was about time for her next potion a and as she pulled them out (they were in a small pouch each in a vile) someone ran past her knocking them out of her grasp. They all cracked against the ground. She felt immediate hurt. In a small daze she cleaned it up the best she could and went to an open air cafe near by. After sitting for a while staring at the cracked viles and pouch blankly, she noticed her hair feathering a bit. At that time she was approached, by a boy. She felt a twinge of something as he said hi but she mostly found him to just have awkwardly said hi and nothing else. After he continued to sit there a bit awkwardly he just as awkwardly stood up and walked away. She tried to put it out her head as he approached a group of guys at a table across the way that seemed to laugh at him. As she went back to checking her appearance she found her hair was attaching more to her neck, making her scruff again. The same boy approached her again but she didn't feel the same twinge again, and this time he actually introduced himself. Sun asked her how she was doing, that she seemed kind of alone and upset. Blake finally started to feel the rest of her feathers coming back. She quickly got up excusing herself, but forgetting to grab the viles. Sun looked back at the others who started laughing harder, one of which was a reptilian boy who waved for Sun to follow her. Sun grabs the pouch, cutting his hand a bit, slowly grabs it again, and runs after Blake. Blake turns off behind some buildings, ruffled her coat off stretching out. Sun turned the corner and stopped as a few crack sounds came and Blake was suddenly surrounded by feathers, hunched over. Her breathing got heavy very quickly before she stretches out and takes a deep breath. She hears Sun go "whoa" before turning back to him. They stare at each other for a bit before Blake notices the pouch and Sun talks to her. They talk a bit and she explains the potions situation and he explains he just wanted to talk to someone, his friends pressuring him to talk to a girl. Blake feels concern that he just choose to talk to her on a whim, but he reassures her that he genuinely took an interest in her. At that he kind of blushes and she turns away. He invites her to come back to the cafe, she accepts and when they get back he introduces to Neptune, Sage, and Scarlet. After hanging out with them for a bit she decides she need to find somewhere to stay for the night and says goodbye to them, but asks about the concerto before going. They say that it's one of the biggest expected event in Vale they have every year, and it's free to celebrate common laws between creatures. She thanked them again and left. After checking in she went to sleep. Over the next few days she walks around the town ,does some shopping, and she finds a particular store that sells Schnee's humanized potions. She was able to purchase just one and used it later that day. On her way back to the Inn she notices a large cart and sees a person in a red cloak moving around the back. Then Yang wanders to the back, and as she calls for Ruby, Ruby turns to her carrying a box (still in wolf form). Blake smiles, approaches them and noticed another person, or more properly another wolf. Yang notices Blake approach first and greets her with a smile while saying "Well hello again Blake!" Ruby immediately perked up and looked ecstatic. She set down the box she had and jumped out going up to Blake and hugging her, yelling "Blake!". Blake returned with a nervous laugh and hello. Ruby then though begins to sniff Blake. And her ears perk down a little, "Aww did something happen to your potions?" Blake gives a surprised look and looks down a bit realizing Ruby could probably smell the Schnee potion and their homemade one," W-well I had dropped them actually…someone bumped me and knocked them out of my grasp. I happened to see some schnee potions today so I purchased one. Just to…try it…" Ruby gave an "Ooooh!" like she wasn’t at all upset, but really interested. "How different would you say it is? Was the taste at all appealing? Could you tell a big difference between theirs and ours from the initial taste-" Yang reached around and pushed Ruby's snout up away from Blake," Calm down sis, you can ask her when you aint got rank doggy breath." Ruby laughed" Yeahh I guess, sorry Blake!"

That’s the portion I’ve got right now so look forward to more later, maybe even some other characters next (hint hint weiss weiss)
