No, slow may not be the right word for it. Sluggish maybe? Lethargic? She couldn't tell, but everything moved so slowly for her. Everyone had a semblance from her partner with her glyphs, her sister with kinetic redirection, and her sister's partner with shadows. And what did she have…
Speed, pure and simple speed. It seemed correct to call it speed as she moved faster than everyone else, but somewhere in the back of her mind it felt wrong to call it that. To her it seemed like she was a one trick pony. Weiss' glyphs could do a multitude of things including summoning, redirecting force, and also affect one's ability to perceive the world around them. Yang's had two forms to it, one was storing energy and the other was releasing it. Blake's could react with a multitude of dust. Ruby could not for the life of her figure out why her semblance only could do one thing, and even then speed wasn't that useful when Weiss's glyphs were in play.
During one of Professor Port's longer lectures she was quite quickly falling asleep, when IT happened. The noise around her stopped, Port's endless monologue stopped. As she lifted her head from the desk she could not help but wonder what was wrong, was port standing above her and the rest of the class fell silent? Then why did Weiss not try to wake her? Usually her partner would flick her before that happened, why would this time be any different?
Because it was, she was looking around the class and everything seemed odd. Port with his mouth still open as if he was still speaking, Weiss with her pencil hovering above her notes. Pyra mid-blush while looking at Jaune, as the boy had no clue as to the feelings his partner. Yang and Blake were no better, both of them openly flirting during class with the Faunus sitting on her partner's lap.
And then she saw it, the one thing that made it all make sense. Cardin had just thrown a paper airplane and it was mid-air, but it didn't move… what? Wait a lot of things were wrong with that, why was a paper airplane just sitting there? Shouldn't it move, what was keeping it there? She was coming up with a massive amount of questions that she was not able to answer. Until it dawned on her.
"Time… it seems like, time has stopped?" She uttered, not quite sure of it herself. Having no clue at to what to make of the situation she got up and walked into the hallway, to see if this was happening to anyone else. Wherever she looked everything was stopped, teachers stuck mid lecture, students walking between classes. She looked out the window at the courtyard to see that the clouds idly drifting by normally did not move.
"Is this a dream, am I asleep?" She queried to no one at all. So she did the only thing she could think of to check if she was asleep. Pinch herself, that ended up with less the satisfying results "OW!" as she pinched herself rather hard yet still nothing moved. Not knowing what else to do she started walking. After covering what seemed to be most of the school grounds, she was in front of the headmaster's tower.
Not realising for a second that the elevator would not come down, at which she blushed as she figured out it was not coming. She took the stairs. cursing in no small number of made up swears mostly involving cookies and strawberries at the million of stairs that she was having to climb. Maybe ozpin could help her figure it out, after she has complained about the stairs. As she got to the top of the tower, she felt a quiet rumble that she often got near the top of the tower.
"Did time resume?" She wondered aloud before she took the final few stairs towards a door. At the top she heard no words being spoken however the constant rumbling of the massive gears was there. She opened the door to the headmaster's office, not knowing what was happening on the other side.
A man with grey hair dressed in a green turtle neck as well as a vest and a suit, was sitting at the desk. Not seemingly paying any attention to the intruder to his office. ruby did note one thing, His pen was moving. She cried a small cheer of relief, something that did not go unnoticed by the rooms current occupant.
"Is there something wrong Miss Rose?" He inquired, however he got no answer from her as she quickly made her way to the balcony overlooking the school. But to her dismay nothing else was moving, she slowly backed away from the balcony into the office. She tripped on something, no she tripped on someone.
"Headmaster Ozpin! I'm sorry I didn't see you there!" She hastily apologised. After she got up and dusted herself off, she started trying to explain what was happening. With her being as great at explaining as always, Ozpin decided to look out at the school yard to see what may have spooked his student as such. As soon as he did he realised what had her shocked, as he calmly walked back to his desk.
"Please calm down and take a seat Miss Rose, I think I may have a grasp on the situation." He said, offering her a chair opposite to him. She listened along to his thoughts and explanations to the problem, and asked her if she ever had consciously activated her semblance. To which she looked perplexed at his question, of course she hadn't. Her semblance worked like Yang's, in that as long as she's awake it's on and working.
"Try thinking you want everything to move again, while pushing your aura out" explained the professor. She wasn't sure that would accomplish anything, but it was better to try that than anything else. As she pushed her aura out she wished for everything to resume, and it seemed as if nothing had happened. Until Ozpin told her to look out at the courtyard again, she walked towards the balcony not knowing what would await her. As she looked on everything was moving, she couldn't believe it her semblance wasn't speed.
"Congratulations Miss Rose, your semblance controls time"
