[howlingday]

Ruby: Whatchu writin'? WHATCHU WRITIN', YOU WINGED FREAK?!

Whitley: (Bat, Writing) What... you... writing... you... winged... freak...

Klein: (Door) Oh, you don't have to worry about Mr. Whitley! He's a bat, so he can't spell.

Klein: I guarantee, if he turns that paper around, it will just look like a bunch of squiggles.

Ruby: Hey, turn that paper 'round! LEMME SEE THAT PAPER!

Klein: For all we know, he's just doodling.

Whitley: She says aggressively...

Jaune: Bats communicate using echolocation, so we have to echo at it, right?

Ruby: Stop writin'!

Jaune: Stop writing!

Silly!Jaune: Stop writing!

Silly!Nora: Stop writing!

Silly!Ren: Stop writing!

Klein: Hey, stop writing.

Ruby: Stop writin'!

Whitley: ALL: Stop writing....

Ruby: (About to blow a gasket)

Ashen Knight 8

Klein : *looking straight into Juniper's eyes, whose only reaction is to tilt her head* I... Honestly thought she was an animatronic of some kind. *Turn, looking at Jaune* So that would mean that you are indeed the real deal.

RK: I'm... Honestly surprised by your lack of reaction.

Klein: I am currently using all my willpower to stay conscious, sir. You being real... it's almost as if i was stuck in a dream.

RK: I understand the feeling. I'm from Remnant so i know exactly how it must feel.

Klein: *shake his head* But this isn't what you are here for. *Clear his throat* You desire to work at the manor, if what Ms Winter said is true.

RK: *nod* This is exact, yes. Me and my ward are in need of a roof over our heads.

Klein: I see, you didn't have any lien i presume?

RK: Enough to travel, but not enough to stay in one place for long. We... Don't have any identification at our name either.

Klein: *sigh* To be expected... *Pensive* We have openings in our kitchen, but it would be a waste of talent...! How about becoming Winter and Weiss's tutor?

RK: *looking uncertain* I do know how to fight, yes. But i don't know if i would be able to teach anyone my fighting style. I rely on being able to outlast my adversary while they are more on the agile school.

Klein: How... How would you know what their fighting style is? You never saw them fight.

RK: *sweating* I am mostly assuming. Winter doesn't have the build and Weiss is probably too young.

Klein: *pensive* This... Does make sense. Hm...

RK: What about security?

Klein: Security is only chosen by either Mr Gelée or Ms Willow. However, i could give you a letter of recommendation. I will also take care of your identification papers.

RK: *Nod* That's probably for the best.

Cinder: *looking bored* Are we finished? Winter said she has the complete trilogy of the Rusted Knight and the cursed ring director's cut and i am NOT going to miss that out!

RWBY SHITPOST TIME

[zexapher]

A Schnee Knows to Make Wise Investments

And Weiss is more than happy to follow through. Happy birthday, Jaune!

That said, let’s be honest here, Klein was always Weiss’ true father figure. And then came Jaune. Jacques may have been Weiss’ father, but he certainly wasn’t her daddy. Weiss and Jaune have really come so far. Amazing that their relationship is really budding now, let alone that this is actually plausible dialogue.

This meme was inspired by and adapted from a post on reddit by u/MalloYallow and the subsequent comments by u/Akumu_Oukoku and u/WeakLandscape2595 which may be found here. Cheers to them for being such fun people!

I quite enjoyed putting together panel 3 for this one, especially redrawing Jaune’s arms after cutting Ren and Yang out of the image he came from. It really shows the progress I’m making in improving my editing, since it was so much quicker and easier than that time I redrew Jaune's arms for the Therapist Ozpin meme I made like 9 months ago.

Anyway, hope you all enjoy!

I told you I would bring up @pmpknsoup’s post more times.

Feel free to comment or reblog how you think this would have gone.

———————————————————————————-

(In Theodore’s office in Shade Academy at early evening, Team RWBY and Jaune Arc face the main members of the Remnant Alliance, consisting of Team JNPR plus Oscar Pine/Ozpin and Emerald Sustrai, Team STRQ, the Ace-Ops, the Happy Huntresses, Winter Schnee, Team SSSNN, Team CFVY, Whitley Schnee, Willow Schnee, Klein Sieben, Maria Calavera, Dr. Pietro Polendina, Ghira Belladonna, Kali Belladonna, Ilia Amitola, Bartholomew Oobleck, Peter Port, Glynda Goodwitch, Theodore, Xanthe Rumpole, and Zwei.)

RUBY: Listen. Thanks, everyone, for your patience.

RUBY: It took a while to figure out how to tell you, and I know being left in the dark about our whereabouts over the remainder of the winter, the whole spring, and the summer has left you anxious, but now, I’ve decided it’s time to reveal what’s been going on. Robyn, I’ll need your Semblance to prove all of this correct.

ROBYN: Uh, okay.

(Robyn steps away from the group, removes her glove, and joins hands with Ruby. Her Semblance turns on and glows green with every piece of information Ruby gives.)

ROBYN: So, you guys didn’t make it out of the pocket dimension before it collapsed. Where did you guys fall to?

RUBY: Well, after I fell, I regained consciousness on a beach surrounded by giant seashells. I tried to hone in on a giant tree, but just ended up looping in circles. Eventually, I had to stop, then found a mouse trying to pull a plant out of the ground. I pulled the plant, which turned out to be a cheese plant, out for the mouse, and fed it to them. After the mouse revealed that they could talk, I named them Little, and they decided to stay by my side as I tried to get home. Then we found Weiss and Blake captured in vines by a whole village of talking mice. It didn’t take much convincing to get them to let them go. Then we went to look for Yang and found a creepy Grimm-looking creature moving jerkily. And I mean very creepy. (IMITATING JABBERWALKER) “Stalking. Searching. Waiting. Listening.” (NORMAL VOICE) Then Yang came barreling out, already fighting the creature while missing her arm. Then Blake realized we were in our favorite childhood fairy tale, The Girl Who Fell Through the World.

(Confusion and wonder all around. “That fairy tale?” “The Ever After?” “It’s real?”)

OSCAR: That fairy tale actually happened? And the Ever After is real?

RUBY: Which means the creepy Grimm-like creature was the Jabberwalker from that story. Also, Weiss had a very hard time wrapping her head around the Ever After’s absurdities.

(Weiss blushes with embarrassment.)

WEISS: I did not.

RUBY: Our hands are glowing green, Weiss. Robyn’s Semblance never fails. Then we went to the village in the King’s Acre to barter with the Jinxy Peddler, who had stolen Yang’s arm. Well, they don’t “steal”, they just “take things others aren’t looking at”. Fair is fair, right, Little?

ROBYN: Sounds like a legitimate businessperson.

WEISS: Right?

EMERALD: So, what was the Jinxy Peddler like?

VELVET: Was he cute?

WEISS: Cute? He was adorable!

RUBY: And, despite being older than he was in the book, his strategy was the same, selling treasures that are really other items in disguise. If my memory serves me right, he had a yellow scepter, a pink rabbit statue, and a marionette-like doll. Toy soldiers won the scepter, and we only got it back from them because Little tried stealing the marionette, exposing Jinxy’s treasures as fakes. The rabbit statue was another mouse, the scepter was Yang’s arm, and the marionette was one of Penny’s Floating Array swords. The soldiers followed us to arrest us for stealing Yang’s arm, or “royal property”, before I traded Penny’s sword, and told them she was the greatest warrior to ever live. “She was touched by magic, and she gave her life for thousands. She took a message of hope to the stars, and she saw the world through better eyes.”

(The gang gets emotional, especially Winter and Pietro, who are comforted by their loved ones.)

RUBY: The soldiers escorted us to the Crimson Castle for the birthday of who we thought was the Red King, but turned out to be the Red Prince, who was more of a spoiled brat than Weiss was at Beacon.

YANG: (nudging Weiss) Heh-heh.

RUBY: We challenged him to a game of chess, where he shrunk the girls to the size of chess pawns. Not that it hindered their performance against the Prince’s pawns. When we revealed that we’re humans and beat him, he threw a tantrum and wanted us beheaded, and the Curious Cat rescued us.

(More interested chatter. Nora Valkyrie gets giddy.)

NORA: The Curious Cat?!

REN: Were they as chatty as the book made them out to be?

RUBY: Mm-hm. Not to mention easily distracted. Anyway, they took us to look for ingredients for a Growgurt Parfait in the Garden’s Acre, and we told them our life story, but because we kept getting distracted with our internal conflicts, we kept losing them over and over again. After the third time, when they asked me how I’m supposed to save the world now that Salem has two out of four Relics and that Atlas is gone, we met an herbalist, a caterpillar named Herb. He seemed to be asking us questions to figure out what medicine he needed to make to help us. Looking back, he was being reasonable, as too little medicine is useless, but too much medicine is toxic. Eventually, Herb just decided to smoke a hookah for a bit and drugged us with leaves that made us see our past selves tempting us to “go back”. To be free. To be simple. To be whole. To be different. The other girls rejected and had already accepted their failures as something to learn from, but I almost gave in, before the Cat stopped me, then got Herb swallowed by a hole in the ground.

(The gang chatters in moods ranging from confusion to nervousness.)

TAI: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up. You guys did drugs?

QROW: Don’t let alcoholism be next, girls.

RUBY: Anyway, the Cat led us to a market to keep looking for the Parfait ingredients. Along the way, they told us about a process that occurs when an Afteran is no longer doing their assigned role, triggered by them losing their ways, wearing out, doubting themselves, or even just finishing their assigned tasks, upon which they are taken to the Great Tree and repurposed into someone or something else with a new identity, personality, and role. Their memories are erased in the process, but the heart very rarely forgets. They don’t die. They ascend.

(Such a concept catches the interest of the gang.)

REMNANT ALLIANCE: Ooh.

EMERALD: Talk about a potential existential crisis.

RUBY: Hence why there was no Red King when we got to the Castle. He lost his game and ascended into the brat we encountered. And the hole that swallowed Herb was him starting his own Ascension. Anyway, after we arrived at the market and got all of the Parfait ingredients, the market was attacked by Jabberwalkers using Neopolitan’s Semblance. Oh, yeah, Neopolitan fell with us, too.

(Nora, Ren, Oscar, and Emerald grow worried.)

REN: Uh-oh.

TAI: Neopolitan? Who’s that?

RUBY: Remember Roman Torchwick, the criminal from Vale? Neo was his partner. She held me responsible for his death at the Fall of Beacon and wanted me dead to avenge him. She expressed herself through gestures and facial expressions because she couldn’t talk.

RAVEN: Was she that chick I saved Yang from on the train on Mountain Glenn?

RUBY: Yep. Then I disposed of her by opening her umbrella on an Atlas airship in the sky during the Fall of Beacon. Apparently she survived that fall without any of those Grimm surrounding us eating her.

OSCAR: Team JNPR and I last fought her right after Ironwood declared us fugitives.

RUBY: Then she fought us in the pocket dimension between here and Solitas. Heck, she was the reason Yang, Blake, and I fell. Anyway, we made the Growgurt Parfait and the girls grew back to normal size just as we got assistance from the Rusted Knight riding his white rabbit.

WHITLEY: Did Weiss go goo-goo eyes the second she laid eyes on him? She had a crush on him when she was younger.

BLAKE: I think everyone had a crush on the Rusted Knight at some point.

RUBY: Well, things didn’t help when he turned out to be a grown-up Jaune with longer hair and a beard, who grabbed a fruit that sent him back in time twenty years right after he landed.

(The gang gasps at the new knowledge of the Rusted Knight being not only Jaune, of all people, but Jaune thrown backwards in time, grown older, and living without his friends for so long.)

NORA: Oh, my Gods!

REN: Jaune, that really happened to you?

JAUNE: I was stuck there isolated from other human contact, too.

YANG: Weiss certainly loved how mature he was.

RUBY: And the white rabbit was a jackalope Jaune named Juniper.

NORA: After his team? Aww!

RUBY: Then Jaune told us his perspective on the Tree, that he believed it was death, that Alyx backstabbed her brother Lewis, the author of the fairy tale, who wrote the story the way he wished it happened, and that the Cat couldn’t be trusted. Before long, we got caught in a “punderstorm”, which creates a physical manifestation of a mental or emotional problem. Jaune, Weiss, Juniper, and I were sent to metaphorical and literal crossroads, while Yang and Blake were sent to two broken, wooden, rickety bridges connected to a giant pillar that they could only make more planks to advance toward if they were honest about their feelings for each other. Yeah, Yang and Blake are girlfriends now.

(As Yang and Blake blush at each other, everyone’s hearts melt, all proud for the Bees.)

REMNANT ALLIANCE: Aww!

NORA: See, Ren? I told you there was more going on!

KALI: Our baby girl found love?

TAI: With my sunny little dragon?

RAVEN: Wow. She really is your daughter, Tai.

TAI: What’s that supposed to mean?

RAVEN: A tall overconfident blonde flinging dad jokes and puns and a brooding dark-haired beauty? A tale as old as time.

RUBY: Then the Cat bailed on us after mistaking us for selfishly using them to get home, and once the storm passed, Jaune let us spend the night in his house in the Origami Acre, then he introduced us the next morning to a village of paper stars called the Paper Pleasers. They seemed very dumb and clumsy at first, because of the daily disasters they were causing, but, at the end of the day, were very hospitable. He also named them after all of us. On his to-do list, I saw Ren, Ruby, Oscar, Nora, Neptune, and Pyrrha.

(Not a word is spoken as everyone exchanges concerned and uncomfortable looks with each other.)

RUBY: Anyway, a Paper Pleaser told us they kept causing disasters because they wanted to ascend, because their purpose was long since finished, but Jaune was stopping them because of his belief that the tree was death. They told us that the Tree isn’t death, but resurrection, rebuilding, and rebirth.

JAUNE: That must have been our waiter, the Blake Paper Pleaser.

RUBY: Then Neo’s Jabberwalkers attacked, and while we were distracted, the Paper Pleasers finally managed to off themselves by destroying the koi pond dam and drowning in the flood, then when the girls asked me to help comfort Jaune, I blew up at them for caring more about everyone else’s feelings or getting home, taking my mental health for granted and ignoring my problems…

(Everyone leans in anxiously. Things are getting even more interesting, but not in a good way.)

(Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Jaune exchange looks of guilt.)

RUBY: …then I ran away, came across the Abandoned Acre, and entered a mansion, where Neo had made clone illusions of Roman Torchwick, Penny, Pyrrha, Professor Lionheart, Clover, Ozpin, and Ironwood, and used them to physically and psychologically abuse me, beating me up ruthlessly and blaming me for their deaths, and when the chaos was over, I felt no will to live or be myself anymore, not helped by Torchwick’s question: “Do you really think you can stand to watch more of your friends fall? Or are you ready to admit the truth, that the world would just be better off without you?”

(The gang regards Ruby with sorrow over her being trampled by her trauma. Ozpin can be heard sniffling.)

RUBY: Then Neo offered me tea made from leaves from the Tree intended to wipe me from existence. The Cat blasted her away, but then turned out to be evil and tried to possess me, while revealing that they had been trying to wear me down the whole time, then Neo fought them off and stomped Little to death, then I finally gave in, drank the tea, offing myself, and got swallowed by the Tree.

YANG: (tearing up) Oh, Rubes.

RUBY: Then I met a Blacksmith, who I also found at the market, or, rather, she found me, and then she presented me with a choice to either change my identity or be myself. I saw my mom’s weapon and was treated to a vision of the night she left with Raven on another one of Ozpin’s secret missions and never came back.

(Tai turns accusingly at Raven.)

TAI: Raven?

YANG: She lied? She left with you?

RAVEN: Yeah… Hey, like I said to her, “First time for everything.”

(The gang gives her a look.)

RAVEN: Really? Sheesh. Tough crowd.

HARE: (to Ruby) Wait. What did you say your mother’s name was again?

RUBY: Summer.

HARE: (muttering) So, her uncle is Qrow, her father is Taiyang, and her sister’s mother is Raven. All are members of Team STRQ. Summer, Summer, Summer… (out loud) Summer Rose, the leader of Team STRQ, was your mother?

REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Summer?…Summer Rose?…The previous silver-eyed Huntress?…That’s Summer Rose’s daughter?

RUBY: And then, I remembered my mom’s words, “I love you just the way you are,” chose to be myself, and came back to help the girls fight the Cat. And we won.

(Cheers and applause all around.)

RUBY: And then Neo killed the Cat by using the Jabberwalkers to eat them. By the way, Jabberwalkers are the only creatures to prevent Ascension if they eat Afterans.

BLAKE: On my count, there were a whopping five of them.

REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Five?…Five of them?…Five Jabberwalkers?

SUN: Talk about overkill.

ELM: (after doing the multiplication math in her head) That’s gotta be over ninety teeth!

RUBY: And, according to the girls, Neo was possessed by the Cat, and she chose to accept Torchwick’s death and undergo her own Ascension. Oh, and Little ascended, too, into who we called Somewhat, and succeeded Jaune as the protector of the Ever After. By then, we had made it to the Tree by coming to terms with the truth, we’ll never be perfect, that even the most skilled Huntsmen and Huntresses have failed, and we walked through the door back home, landed inside the plane of the Tree, and met the Blacksmith again at her workshop. When we noticed two statues of the Brother Gods, she told us their backstory. That the Ever After was overfilled with plants and dangerous wildlife in its primordial years, but the Brothers were created to clear it out. Then they created the Afterans as well as the different acres for them to live in. They designed new creations that would replace them in maintaining the Ever After. This was how the Cat was created. They later created the Jabberwalker as a form of destruction. However, the two disagreed on whether it disrupted the balance or not and began to wage war.

OSCAR AND OZPIN: (both scoff) What else is new?

RUBY: The Blacksmith told us how balance isn’t supposed to be two opposing forces locked in battle; balance is an ecosystem, an organism, and a living thing, thus balance isn’t restored with force or manipulation, it’s restored naturally, requiring love and patience to see it through to the end. The Gods got to Remnant because the Ever After created a door to a “greater beyond” for them, so they can leave and experiment in creating new worlds as much as they like.

REN: Huh. So the Ever After existed before Remnant.

NORA: (snickering) So the Tree basically said, “You think you have life sorted out? Then get out of my house”?

RUBY: Pretty much.

(Everyone laughs at the Brother Gods basically being “kicked out of the house” by their “mom”. Some Gods they are.)

YANG: Oh, my Gods, that’s such a hilarious way of looking at it. Thanks, Nora.

RUBY: Anyway, the Blacksmith told us that we impacted the Ever After significantly, just like Somewhat, Alyx, and Lewis, and that the Cat caused a bad impact. Then she de-aged Jaune, but let him keep his memories, which explains the white streak in his hair, and made us a portal in the desert on the outskirts of the city, and now you’re all caught up.

(Ruby lets go of Robyn’s hand. The freedom fighter rejoins the rest of the Alliance.)

RUBY: So, I’m happy to announce that I’m not giving up the fight to save the world anytime soon! Between Academies and Kingdoms going down and our friends’ lives being forced to abruptly end, we’ve had a lot of ups and downs over the past two years, but we always pulled ourselves back together at the end of the day, and we won’t stop now! With global unity right at our fingertips and the ability to keep moving forward and accept our failures as things to learn from, things the villains would never even fathom, we can stand up to Salem and her forces! And no longer will we be putting the entire burden of the world’s safety on one individual! My name is Ruby Rose, and I am a Huntress!

REMNANT ALLIANCE: (walla) Yes!…Great!…Alright!…Thank goodness!…Welcome back, Ruby!…Good to have you back, kid!…Way to go, Ruby!…That’s my girl!

YANG: We’re so proud of you, Ruby.

RUBY: Thanks, guys. You and your support mean the world to me. And I’m just as proud to call you guys family. All of you.

(Everyone looks at Ruby with warmed hearts.)

[tupayapsina]

Weiss: [finds a stray dog]

Weiss: Can we keep it?

Klein: Your dad is allergic

Weiss: Father can stay outside

[slamburger]

Klein walks Weiss down the aisle at her and Ruby’s wedding.

[wu-sisyphus-gang]

Yang: Who is that?

Jaune: Must be Klein. The man Weiss asked to walk her down the aisle. I need to ask him for his blessing to marry her.

Yang: Gods. Not having a good relationship with your father must suck.

Blake: *nods*

Jaune: You're right. It does suck.

Yang: *Bursts out laughing* Gods you really don't have anything. I shouldn't laugh I'm sorry.

Jaune: I think I'm having things given to me as good as the things being stolen from me. I think.

Blake: You're wrong. Your life suck, Jaune.

Jaune: *laughs alongside Yang*

Yang: *still laughing* It's not funny!

Jaune: It's a little funny. You can laugh. People laugh at things they don't understand and if they didn't they wouldn't be able to react to most things. It's funny. Laugh.

Blake: But you shouldn't.

Jaune: *wipes a tear from his eye* I don't know what else to do. Now. Weiss doesn't care or at least she says she doesn't care. But she cared enough to ask that man to walk her down the aisle. So I'm going to ask him for his blessing to marry her. Because I love her and would do anything for her. And it might reward me with that little soft centered smile she wears when she's truly happy and it costs me nothing. So I'm gonna. Wish me luck.

Yang: Go get 'em tiger.

[bridgyrose]

Weiss smiled as she looked out at Beacon through the window of her family’s airship, two years of training and exams had practically flown by. And she couldnt be any more nervous. She was sure she belonged at Beacon, and the flight from Atlas was long enough that she was able to change into something that fit her better for a first day at the academy so she wasnt worried about how people would see her. No, her worry was with the strange powers that she had trained with for the last two years, still unable to control them well. She was glad she was able to keep them hidden during the exam her father had administered for her to prove she could attend Beacon, but even then it wasnt easy to explain why her weapon had frosted over or the flames that came in her eyes. 

Even as the airship landed, she couldnt help but run her fingers over the gloves she wore in an attempt to hide her powers. Not that they helped, but they certainly helped her feel better. Once the airship went still, she gathered her bags and started to make her way to the Beacon courtyard. 

“Would you like any help, Master Weiss?” Klein asked as he stayed near the door to the airship. 

“I can handle it, Klein,” Weiss answered. “But… thank you. I am going to miss you while I’m here.” 

Klein nodded and gave her a smile. “You know how to reach me if you need anything. And that includes if you need any assistance with doctors here.” 

“I think I can handle that on my own, but… I’ll keep that in mind. And I’ll keep in touch.” 

“Please do, Miss Weiss.” 

A smile crossed Weiss’s lips upon hearing Klein’s words, glad that he still accepted her no matter what. It was a comfort to hear, almost taking away the nervousness that she felt as she made her way towards the cafeteria for orientation. At least, that was the plan until she felt someone run into her and knock her over. Weiss picked herself up with a groan, only to be met with one of the students standing over her and offering a hand. 

“I’m sorry, I didnt see you there.” 

Weiss took the girl’s hand and stood up, dusting herself off before glaring at the girl. “Dont you know what you could’ve done?!” 

The girl rubbed the back of her head. “I… dont know what you’re referring to.”

“You could’ve caused an explosion with dust!” Weiss yelled out as she started to pick up some of the vials that had spilled out from her bags. She inspected the vials and made sure everything was still securely closed before packing them away. “You’re lucky nothing’s loose. Even as a powder its still volatile.” 

“You’re the one who needs to pay attention then. How’s anyone supposed to know you have that much dust?” 

“W-well… I-I… Most people know who I am!” 

“I dont.” 

Weiss took a deep breath to try to calm herself as she finished putting away her dust vials. She could already feel the familiar surge of the powers inside her as her eyes started to sting from the heat of flames that wanted to appear. “I’m Weiss. And you are?” 

“Ruby,” Ruby answered with a smile. 

“You should still pay attention where you’re going.” Weiss paused as she picked up one last vial and looked it over. It was unlabeled but certainly looked more like something you’d get from a doctor. “I dont remember this one-” 

“That’s because its mine!” Ruby said as she snatched it away. 

Weiss frowned a bit, but let it go. If it was Ruby’s, then there was no sense in getting angry at her snatching her own vial away. Though, she still thought it was rude. She finished making sure the bags were back on the trolly correctly and tightened up a few straps to keep things in place. “It was nice to meet you, but I do need to make my way to orientation.” 

“A-actually, could I come with you? I just got here, but… I do feel a little lost about where to go.” 

“Lost? How could you be lost-” Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath as her voice strained to keep from yelling. It was just her luck that she’d run into someone so ill-prepared to be at Beacon. “Arent you a bit young to be here?” 

“Yeah, but professor Ozpin offered me a spot here after stopping a dust robbery.” Ruby fidgeted a bit while she adjusted her backpack. “I guess I ended up a bit too excited and forgot where we’re supposed to go for orientation. Though, it doesnt help that Yang left me too.” 

“Fine, you can follow me but then we go our separate ways.” 

“Thanks!” 

Weiss rolled her eyes a bit as she felt Ruby pull her into a hug. Once she was let go, she grabbed her trolley and started moving forward towards the cafeteria. Her steps started to slow as she looked around at all the other students around her, her eyes lingering on the girls she saw. Most of them were wearing skirts or pants that let them move around, and those that werent seemed to have weapons that let them sit still at range and far away from combat. She couldnt help but look down at her own clothes feeling ill prepared in her own right. Sure her combat gear was tailored to her body, but it felt… lacking when she thought about it. It still felt like something she was expected to wear to be her father’s heir. 

Ruby put a hand on Weiss’s shoulder. “Everything okay? Your eyes look like they’re burning.” 

Weiss quietly pulled out a hand mirror and looked at her eyes, heart nearly stopping when she saw the flames in her eyes. At least it was only the flames. She wasnt sure she was ready to try to explain anything else like ice forming or burning someone’s clothes. “Y-yeah, its my…uh.. m-my semblance,” she lied. “Something about getting emotional makes it manifest differently.” 

“Sounds like Yang’s. Her eyes change to red when she gets angry or uses hers.” 

“Its not really like that, but… I guess that’s close.” Weiss closed her eyes and took a few moments to try to shut off her motions like she trained herself. No anger, no fear, no nervousness or extreme joy, just calm. Nothing to allow her powers to channel themselves. She waited until the sting in her eyes was finally gone before opening them again. “The cafeteria is just ahead. You should be able to find it without too much issue.” 

“Arent you going there too?” Ruby asked. 

“I have a call I need to make beforehand. You go ahead and maybe we’ll see each other again.” 

“Maybe huh?” 

“Just go.” Weiss relaxed a bit as she watched Ruby walk off, not quite sure if she made a friend or an annoyance. Either way, she didnt seem to recognize her name just like everyone else around didnt seem to recognize who she was. And while that should’ve made her feel disappointed, it did make her feel better that she could try to be herself without anyone thinking it was strange. 

She made sure to get off the main path to the cafeteria and stood next to a tree as she pulled out her scroll and dialed quickly. Her heart started to race as she heard Klein answer the call, her voice went quiet as she spoke. “Can… can you put in an order for a new combat outfit to be ready in a week? I’ll send you the details, but… I think I’m ready.”

Willow: Now that you're my husband, I can't have you walking around looking like some commoner.

Jaune: Huh?

Willow: Klein?

Klein: Yes, madam?

Willow: Please give my husband clothes fitting of a Schnee.

Klein: Right away, madam. Right this way, Mr. Schnee.

Jaune: (Pushed) Ah! W-Wait-!

-------------------------------------------------------

Some time later...

Klein: Y-Your husband, Jaune Schnee, m-madam. W-What do you think?

Jaune: (White suit, Blue shirt, white tie) Uh... I... I don't think this looks good on me.

Willow: Nonsense! You look so handsome, darling~! Klein certainly knows how to dress a Schnee!

Winter: You look well, Jaune.

Weiss: Certainly fitting for a Schnee.

Whitley: Impressive work, Klein.

Jaune: Aw, jeez... I don't know if I can do this...

[howi99]

You know what's up already

Young Winter: *looking out the window, sighing as she's bored* Klein, do i really need to be there? I really would prefer continuing my training.

Klein: I will never force you to go, i know how boring these events can be. *Sigh* but your father was... Insisting on your presence.

Winter: *rolling her eyes* Urgh, can't he take Weiss or Whitley for once?

Klein: *chuckling* You are the heir to the SDC and poor Whitley is only 5 while Weiss is 7. A bit young, don't you think?

Winter: *groaning* I know, i know. *Sigh* Sometimes, i wished the rusted knight would save me from this boring life...

The car stop

Winter: Klein?

Klein: It appears that a commotion is blocking the road.

Winter: Another white fang manifestation? *Sigh* i can't even blame them.

Klein: *slowly shaking his head* There is one, yes, but...

Winter: *sigh* I'll go talk to them, try to hear their demands-

Klein: Winter, could you take a second and look through the front window? Because i think you just summoned a legend to life.

Winter: *frowning, she takes a look* ... IS THAT A JACKALOPE!? AND THE RUSTED KNIGHT!?!

_________

RK: *looking down at the Red haired Faunus kid with a protest sign* ...

Kid Adam: *looking up at what could only be a dream, since Jackalope aren't real and the rusted knight is only a story* ...

Cinder: *turning to Adam* No, you aren't dreaming. Yes, it's a Jackalope and yes, the old man is the rusted knight.

Adam: ... Holy shit, Blake is not going to believe this!

RK: *facepalming* Cinder, we are supposed to be discreet.

Cinder: That kinda went down the hatch when Juniper's costume ripped off.

Juniper: *tilting her head at Cinder*

Cinder: *petting her* Don't worry, it wasn't your fault.

RK: *sigh* How could this day be any worse?

As he said that, something grabbed him in a hug at his side.

RK: *slowly looking down at what he knows was going to be a headache* Me and my luck.

Winter: *hugging the man who was clearly the rusted knight* Take me away from this awful life!

Cinder: *looking at him* you brought that upon yourself.

Confession #353

[weisscoldglare]

Monochrome kitten crawling around the manor and hugs the leg of the schnee butler and goes " grandpa :3"

[lovingdabeessss]

Blake randomly lore dumping because it makes her ✨cool✨ and ✨mysterious✨ to her crush but it’s like the most traumatic things yangs ever heard “✨I once went an entire week without eating or sleeping to complete a mission✨” “Blake that’s terrible we’re getting you something to eat” Blake gets a cut and try’s to stitch it back together herself and Yang has to keep stopping her and bringing her to the nurse

Meanwhile Yang and Ruby who are the trademark good happy family will drop trauma the way siblings do where they’re like “dude this reminds me of when uncle Qrow abandoned us in the wood-“ “OH MY GOD YOUR SO RIGHT dude remember that time-“ it’s like the funniest thing to them meanwhile actually happy family Blake is like ???? And Weiss is just “this is how poor people are” she’s also like “mood” with many things which makes Blake somehow even more concerned then before

Weiss eventually joins in on this when they all get closer and they start talking about the highs and lows of drunken caregivers and neglect and it makes everyone really love klein

Weiss and Ruby need to bond over similar trauma more they’ve both got neglect from father drunken other caretaker and then the person who wasn’t supposed to take care of them doing it which for Ruby was Yang who was a child but still where is that content?? Where is it Rwby fandom??? I don’t see it

If someone has some tell me

You’ve got to love how everyone who joins RWBY on their quest to save the world becomes a new member of their found family.
