Roman Torchwick | RWBY

[clockworktorch]

[...Well this certainly is new, isn't it? It isn't new in a good way by any means, and is- in fact- a quite terrible sort of new that's a little hard to wrap your head around, particularly when you've woken up in a technicolor world full of ponies.

Now, see, this wouldn't be so much of a problem if it were just...the ponies themselves. Sure, there are other animals, but it's predominantly pony. He's used to mingling with the freaks of nature to get things done, as repulsive as that tends to be. It's an entirely new thing when you, in fact, are suddenly a freak of nature yourself. And not just any freak. When Roman woke, he stood head and shoulders over the rest of the ponies, a rather large thing with spindly legs.

He was NOT a pony.

Be it far from Roman Torchwick to make a scene, as he ever so carefully straightens himself and begins to walk, keeping his large, narrow head held high over the others, trying to look like he's been here all his life and he isn't actually screaming bloody murder on the inside. As soon as he finds his voice, he plans to stalk right up to...whoever runs this place and demand answers.

Unfortunately for him, it doesn't take long at all for the phony visage to be shattered when an apple dropping from a cart nearby startles him, and before he can control it his body bucks and abruptly kicks the stupid thing, sending it crashing back into the building it was next to. The apples inside tumble out and all over the street, rolling around Roman's legs like pool balls.

...so much for not making a scene.]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Another day, another apple cart getting smacked into a building. As the apples roll around everyone's hooves and, erm, paws, Teddie - who just so happened to be nearby - awaits for the scolding that's soon to come. He even flinches, holding the pose long enough until it finally dawns on him that he wasn't the one who caused this mess. Slowly opening his eyes, he's not really sure what he's really feeling right now. What do you mean he's not in trouble?! Is this...is this relief?

Jealousy?

...No, it's relief.

About ready to carry on with his usual bear business and write this off as "not his problem", he finally catches a glimpse of the culprit and proceeds to gasp, loudly, and point a paw at the rather large donkey.]

HEY!! I know who you are!!

[Considering that, no, he doesn't, this ought to be good.]

[clockworktorch]

[Roman had half a mind to just walk away and try to pretend that he was not at all the cause of this mess, but before he could move there was suddenly a little bear pointing at him and yelling out for all to hear.

Of course. Sure, why not?

He snorts, his ears falling back as he stands up a bit straighter, his posture stiff as the majority of the apples finally roll to a stop.]

What?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Oh gosh, he got his attention, fantastic. Teddie blushes as his paws squeeze his cheeks, he's completely starstruck right now. He saw this guy in a movie once, a movie that spoke to him on a deep level. To see him here, in the flesh, smacking apples like he owns the place...

Teddie fights off the urge to swoon.]

I can't bearlieve it, it really is you!

You're Pinocchio!!

[clockworktorch]

[Roman opens his mouth, his ears perking forward as if he's preparing to say something profound. You better listen carefully, Teddie.]

...no.

[His gaze narrows and his tail flicks on its own accord, and with a whole lot of other animals glaring daggers his way, he attempts to step off the road and leave the scene, making a point to crush one of the apples beneath his hoof as he goes.]

[kingofthetvworld]

[You could almost hear the record scratch by the way his expression changes so fast. No? What did he mean no?! It's not like donkeys are actual animals, right? He has to be from the movie, he just has to.

Then Teddie recalls how constantly bothered famous people were, the paparazzi and whatnot. It only made sense that Pinocchio would outright deny such earth-shattering news.]

Ooooooohhhh, riiiiiiiight.

[Teddie gives a wink to signal he's totally in on their little secret. Not that it makes much of a difference, looks like someone's already leaving.]

HEY hey hey! Wait for meee!!

[Dropping onto all fours, he follows. Because that's a really smart thing to do.]

[clockworktorch]

[Roman manages to get off of the street before he notices Teddie coming up on him fast. He stops short, his hat nearly tipping over his eyes as he extends a hind leg to block the bear's progress, hoping that will hold him at a respectful distance.]

Hey hey hey! What's with you, kid?

[He grimaces like only a donkey can, lowering his head so he's at eye-level with Teddie.]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Such a sour attitude, no wonder why they tell you to never meet your heroes.

Wait, no, that might be too harsh. How else should anyone act after getting swallowed by a whale? Teddie has to learn how to be understanding. That's it.]

Well for starters, I am a man.

[Thanks.]

And you can't just walk around like this all by your lonesome!

[clockworktorch]

Oh, don't worry, I won't be for very long.

[He retorted quickly, leaning back up with his ears slowly swiveling back. No, he was still on a mission to find-

....and in that moment, an idea strikes, and his posture suddenly becomes a lot less agressive.]

Say, kid. You wouldn't happen to know, ahh...the mayor or whoever runs this town, would you?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Okay, he didn't get eaten by two whales. There's only so much tolerance a bear can hold.]

I miiiiiight, but I guess I just forgot.

'Cause abearently I'm just a BIG DUMB KID!!

[POUT]

[clockworktorch]

[...Abearently?]

Yeah, you don't need me saying it twice.

[He smirks slightly, pawing one hoof at the ground impatiently.]

I need to talk to the one in charge, okay? Now come on, where are they?

[kingofthetvworld]

[He crosses his arms.]

First you gotta say I'm a man.

[Go ahead. Do it.]

[clockworktorch]

[Roman raises a brow, his ears perking forward.]

You're pretty furry for a man.

[bigsoftie]

[Perhaps when one is far too used to your own nature, you do not think someone else could have outbursts. It must be why he can scarcely think that another animal could throw a tantrum. But when he walks outside, the diamond dog flinches before the apple cart even hits the side of the building. He stares at the damage done, assessing what to do.

He shouldn't flip out, no he doesn't want that. That would be the worst idea ever. No he approaches the donkey, staring at him like a grumpy dad.]

Why did you do that?

[clockworktorch]

[Roman turns his head irritably, letting out a loud, long sigh.]

Oh, you know. Just wanted to see how far I could make it fly.

[bigsoftie]

...I have a feeling you do not mean that.

[Good call, Leatherhead.]

[clockworktorch]

Tch.

[He looks away, his massive ears falling back.]

Sarcasm ain't got nothing on you, does it big guy?

[bigsoftie]

[He rolls his head, growling.]

Maybe not, but my question still stands.

[clockworktorch]

No, I didn't mean to do that. I'm not exactly trying to get attention, here.

[Unlike some people.]

[bigsoftie]

Oh...then that is fine.

Do you wish for help cleaning up?

[clockworktorch]

What? Nah, let whoever owns the thing handle it.

[bigsoftie]

But you broke it...

[clockworktorch]

Yes, but not on purpose!

[bigsoftie]

That is true...

But should we fix it?

[clockworktorch]

Okay, tell me. How exactly are we going to fix it? There isn't exactly anything around here to fix an apple cart, is there?
