RWBY Jaune Cup: Round 1

Prize:  Jaune Arc

Note:  The Ghost of Pyrrha is excluded, as she would win.

[rainbow-multishipper]

Do you have any headcanons for an AU where Pollination (no enabler) Assorted/Juniper Berries (All of team JNPR Shipped together) and CFVY Shop (all of team CFVY shipped together) all celebrate their graduation from Beacon academy?

RWBY Ship Headcannons #63: Pollination (No En*bler)/JNPR Berries/CFVY Shop

Straight out of Beacon, CFVY are all married. They are majorly down from their third year, but Velvet has to be the sensible one and say they should at least wait to graduate. So they do, and Velvet is married to the three most beautiful people she knows very soon afterwards. As a certified lesbian, Coco’s marriage to Fox and Yatsu is platonic, but she, Fox and Yatsu were all dating Velvet and Fox and Yatsu were dating, so they just decided to all get married to make it all simpler.

Their marriage is a bomb party. Sure, the small infestation of Ravagers slightly interrupts the ceremony, but Coco’s always prepared. Five minutes and a couple of rounds later, she’s giving her vows too.

For the first couple years they don’t think about having kids. Too busy, too many missions, etc. But when they get into their mid to late twenties, Coco and Velvet have the first baby of the bunch. One more baby follows (Fox and Velvet’s) and suddenly they’re looking for a place to settle down to raise these scamps.

As for JNPR, they are so desperately in love with each other that Nora has the bright idea of marrying right there at graduation, but the other three have to tell her to hold her horses and they’ll settle on a date someday. That stretches out until they never actually get married, just in an endless loop of dating that none of them have tried proposing in. They call each other husbands and wives though, it’s really sweet.

Jaune and Pyrrha take the most missions once they get a place in Mistral. Ren and Nora get on a project rebuilding Kuroyuri, and once that’s done by the time they’re 29, Pyrrha has an announcement: she’s pregnant.

No one is sure who’s baby it is. She’s got Pyrrha’s big green eyes but they look more like Ren’s in shape. Her hair’s all short and tufty like Jaune and Nora but it’s bright strawberry pink. Most curiously, she has a streak of blonde down the left of her hair. It doesn’t matter who’s baby she is though; they all love her and they love each other and Nora takes her on missions despite Jaune’s constant panic attacks.

Pollination is where things really get crowded. It’s Yang’s idea to have a wedding but Weiss and Blake organize it after it becomes increasingly apparent Ruby and Yang don’t know how to plan a wedding. They all wed on Menagerie with Ghira as the officiator.

Sun is Blake’s best man, Penny is the flower girl, Neo makes a guest appearance as Ruby’s maid of honour, and Oscar is ring bearer. There’s a lot of happy tears and speeches from their friends and family from all around Remnant, and it’s generally just an amazing weekend for everyone who’s present.

They have a lot of kids. Like A LOT. Blake and Yang are first, they have a baby cat boy. Ruby and Blake have a pair of baby girls with cute little kitty ears, and Weiss and Ruby have a daughter the following year. Then there’s Weiss and Yang’s sunshine son, and Blake and Weiss are last and they have a set of triplets that are curiously winter cats. The chaos in the house follows close after the twins arrive, and it escalated from there.

It’s a very big and loud and happy family, especially when Tai and Qrow come to visit. Qrow and Blake get along famously, and Tai loves having another two daughters and all these grandkids to play with (he’s a big ol teddy bear). The Monochrome triplets also love their great uncle Qrow and curl up in his lap as babies.

Thanks for the suggestion! Remember ask box is OPEN for Ship Summaries, Ship Trials, Headcannon Requests and Headcannon Chibis!

CFVY Shop Headcanon 01

Fox, Velvet, and Yatsuhashi were all fashion disasters before Coco came into their lives.

She so lovingly put it, that they all looked like they went shopping with only five lien.

[howlingday]

tragic backstory (tm) au) while in the village a grimm swarm comes out of nowhere atlas is on the way but jaune and team must fight a desperate rearguard action to keep the fleeing villagers safe until the battleship can arrive. rwby is used as scouts picking off small groups of grimm and letting jaune know where the main group is before jaune rallies the men of the village and his own team to hammer and anvil strike the main body. the villagers might not have aura but the weight of several hundred knights in full plate with couched lances are more than enough to kill the grimm so long as they don't get bogged down that is. but while the brave heroes fight, something stirs within the forgotten dungeon of the keep the abandoned

Knight and Slay

See, when I think of the best two...

Jaune: Luna Tribe? (Groans) Don't tell you believe that rumor, too!

Path: No, I can't say I do. But then again, I was not in charge of keeping track of slaves.

Jaune: So what do you want?

Path: You are in grave danger, and you must rally your troops together.

Jaune: Danger? Troops? I- What are you talking about?!

Path: (Shushes, Cups ear) They are listening. If they learn of your awareness, they will strike first. (Points to a corner) There.

Jaune: (Looks, Squints) A rat hole? Why would I care about a-? (Looks to window, Finds a note)

"Your oldest foe will use her oldest weapon."

Jaune: Oldest foe? What? (Door slams open) GAH!

Ruby: (Panting) GRIMM! (Runs away)

Jaune: So much for sleep. (Runs after)

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

Goodwitch: Team CFVY, you're up.

Coco: (Yawns) Of course we are. Not like beauty sleep isn't a thing. (Goodwitch glare) I'm kidding!

Goodwitch: There's a Grimm attack at Mallet. So far, it's only Beowolves, but that could easily change. You will provide ground support in the south.

Coco: Got it. (Walks away)

Goodwitch: Team CRDL. Step forward.

Cardin: (Walks near Velvet, Blushes)

Velvet: (Blushes)

Yatsuhashi: (Rolls his eyes)

Goodwitch: There's a Grimm attack at Mallet. and we've spotted more moving close to Beacon. You will provide ground support for Professor Port on the north side.

Cardin: Yes, ma'am. (Walks away, Scroll buzzes) Hm? (Rounds the corner, Checks his scroll)

Velvet: (Scroll message) Please, be safe.

Russel: Ooh! What's that, Cardin?

Cardin: None of your business. (Flares his nostrils)

Russel: Hey, no need to get so hopping mad! (Laughs)

Cardin: (Tightly balls his fist, Sighs) You're not even worth it.

Russel: Huh?

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

Jaune: So, uh, that's the plan. Ruby and Pyrrha will provide fire support from above on the church tower, where the villagers are taking shelter.

Ruby: Got it!

Pyrrha: We'll protect them at all costs.

Jaune: Blake and Ren, you thin out their numbers from the roof top. If anything Grimm gets past the tree line, we're all counting on you to put an end to it. Don't let them reach the alleys.

Ren: Understood.

Blake: (Nods) Roger.

Jaune: Everyone else is on the ground with me. We have two objectives. First is to protect the townspeople. Second is to kill all the Grimm. Everyone ready? (They nod) Let's protect the town! (They all leave) How was that?

Ozpin: You were shaky at first, but you grew more confident. In time, you'll be able to give orders with great confidence.

Jaune: Really? Thanks, Professor Ozpin!

Ozpin: But next time, try to save the panic attack after the Grimm are dead, not before giving the brief.

Jaune: Y-Yes, Professor.

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

Path: Thank you for humoring me.

Raven: As if I have a choice with you freaks.

Path: You could always choose to walk away. That is what you are best at.

Raven: What? Do you? Want?

Path: I simply ask that you guide the king on the right path.

Raven: I'll tell you the same thing I told Oz. This is your mess, you clean it.

Path: Ah, yes, the old man. Are you aware he is with the king as we speak?

Raven: All the more reason for me to walk away. Find someone else to play mentor in your game of chess. I'm not getting involved in this.

Path: (Sighs) Such a shame, but then again. (Decapitates an Ursa behind him) Cowardly fools seldom fight their own battles.

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

Jaune: Weiss, Beowolves on the east!

Weiss: On it!

Jaune: Yang, Ursa to the west!

Yang: You got it, boss man!

Jaune: Nora-

Nora: Way ahead of you, Jaune-Jaune!

Jaune: Okay, that just leaves the south. Emerald, Mercury, and Cinder are in the town hall with Professor Ozpin and the villagers. (Looks up) Pyrrha and Ruby are providing cover fire. (Looks around) Blake and Ren are providing cover on the perimeter. That just leaves me here in the courtyard. Alone. As the last line before the doors.

Ruby: (Via mic) Wrong~!

Jaune: Huh?

Pyrrha: Your mic was on. We heard everything, and we think you're doing a wonderful job as our leader.

Jaune: Thanks, Pyrrha.

Ruby: Professor Ozpin chose you for a reason, Jaune.

Jaune: And that reason is...?

Nora: You're the king!

Jaune: (Groans) Anything on the south side, Ruby?

Ruby: No, nothing yet.

Jaune: That's weird. (Looks at the map) The south is the least guarded perimeter of the town, but there aren't any Grimm? Hm... I'm gonna go check it out.

Pyrrha: Be careful, Jaune. It could be a trap.

Jaune: Maybe. (Approaches the south, Sees a crack in the ground) Huh? Hey, guys, I found something weird.

Yang: What'd you find?

Jaune: A crack.

Yang: Pretty sure that's your butt. ...Oh, don't get mad! Still, a crack isn't something to worry about is it?

Jaune: Maybe, but it just doesn't feel right. Not when there are no- WHOA!

Yang: You okay, Jaune?

Jaune: Yeah, I tripped. And... Holy crap.

Yang: What's up?

Jaune: I can see a set of stairs through the crack. I think there's an underground passageway.

Yang: To where?

Jaune: I don't know. But I'm going to find out.

Yang: Alright, be same Vomit Boy. Wouldn't want my brother to kick it on his first mission in charge.

Ruby: Yang!

Yang: 'Sup, Rubes?

Ruby: Have you seen Jaune?!

Yang: He's at the sound end, checking out some stairs. Why?

Ruby: What?! Why didn't he tell us?!

Yang: What do you mean? He just talked on the common line.

Pyrrha: The last thing we heard was he was going to investigate the south. We can't see him, or the stairs you're talking about.

Yang: Oh no...

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

Pyrrha: Do you see him?

Ruby: No, nothing. If he's close to the building, he might be hiding in the shadows.

Pyrrha: Have you ever considered buying a scope?

Ruby: I did, but I just can't find anything for what I need.

Pyrrha: What do you need?

Ruby: Something all-purpose. Nightvision. Infrared. High zoom.

Pyrrha: You could buy one and switch between them.

Ruby: (Sighs) I could, but I barely have enough saved up for just one.

Pyrrha: Hm, well, I could lend you mine until you find what you're looking for.

Ruby: Aw, thanks, Pyrrha! (Into her scroll) This is Rose Tower. Has anyone seen King?

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

Ren: This is Lotus Bishop. Negative.

Blake: Seventeen.

Ren: Nineteen.

Blake: Twenty. Something's off.

Ren: What do you mean?

Blake: We're gambling on who can kill the most Grimm.

Ren: You've never done it before?

Blake: Once, when I was bored in the White Fang. But that's my point. The Grimm are so far and few inbetween, it's boring. Sure, there were dozens, maybe even hundred at the start, but only just enough are gathering to warrant our barest attention.

Ren: You think the Grimm are planning something?

Blake: The worst weapon the Grimm possess isn't their teeth and claws, but their tenacity and creativity.

Ren: Professor Port's first rule of Grimm.

Blake: Never underestimate them.

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

Nora: Thunder Queen, we haven't seen him, or Yang.

Weiss: It's Dragon Tower.

Nora: What is?

Weiss: Her code- (Scoffs) Dragon Tower, this is Snow Knight. Do you copy?

Yang: (Via mic) What's up, Weissy?

Weiss: Snow Knight! Have you found King yet?

Yang: No, not yet. I'm heading down the stairs now.

Weiss: Please hurry, or else something worse than these rats start showing up.

Yang: Rats? What the worst rats could do?

Weiss: Nothing, I hope, but I've seen fifteen rats in the last two minutes heading into town.

Yang: Into- BLAKE!

Blake: Cat Bishop online.

Yang: How many rats are there?

Blake: Rats? Only a few, but I don't see... Oh no.

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

Soldier: I'm here to relieve.

Guard: I'm ready to be relieved.

Soldier: Anything new with the prisoner?

Guard: Nothing yet. He just sits in there, occasionally growls, then falls asleep. Almost never changes his seat.

Soldier: (Yawns) I'm not surprised.

Guard: Are you alright? Can you even stand your watch?

Soldier: I'll be fine. I'll have my coffee.

Guard: If you say so. What's going on out there?

Soldier: Grimm attack in Vale. Looks like it might be a big one. Enough to merit a battleship.

Guard: Yikes, well, (Yawns) good thing we're (Yawns) guard... duty... (Slumps into relief)

Soldier: (Slumps into guard)

Adam: (Looks up) And who the hell are you?

???: (Hooded figure, Tight leather and cloth ensemble) I am your salvation, should you accept my offer.

Adam: And what is your offer, human?

???: Become my shadow, my disciple, and my key to our mutual vengeance.

Adam: Mutual vengeance? Against who?

???: I will reveal all when the time is right. For now, (Grabs guard's hand, Presses it against the palm reader) let us take the first step together, and prove that you are a worthy student. (Door beeps once, Opens)

Adam: (Stands) And what should I call you, my mystery savior?

Wei: I am Wei, Grandmaster of the Luna Tribe Moon Dancers. And I can sense great things coming.

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

Blake: They're going for the statue!

Ren: Everyone, converge on them!

Nora: There's Grimm everywhere!

Weiss: Protect the village!

Pyrrha: No, please, no!

Ruby: WHERE'S JAUNE?!

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

Jaune: What is this place?

Yang: There you are!

Jaune: Yang? What are you doing here?

Yang: I could ask you the same. I thought you told everyone on the common line.

Jaune: I did! (Checks his scroll) Yeah, see! I haven't touched it since the mission started.

Yang: Then how did- Nevermind! We have to head back up now.

Jaune: Why?

Yang: We got duped by the Grimm! We were too focused on the Beowolves and Ursa, we didn't notice the rats were Grimm, too!

Jaune: Damn! I left my post and this happens. What's everyone doing?

Yang: I don't know. Nobody's contacted me since I got down here.

Jaune: (Hears a large crash from above) What was that?!

Yang: I don't know, but we need to... to... (Pales) Holy shit...

Jaune: (Turns, Sees a fiery red orb three times his size glare down at him, Gut drops, Shivers) ...Oh no. Yang, RUN!

Wyvern: (Screeches to life)

[bridgyrose]

If your 'what if' request are open could you please do a what if Ruby was the only person in team remnant that didn't fall when Cinder and Neo attacked, maybe with some ladybug sprinkled in if you would be so kind. (PS I love your page it's always a treat to see the notification that you posted something)

(Im very much treating this as Oscar and Emerald still having made it through as part of the plan, while Ren and Nora stay behind to help fight once Cinder arrives)

Ruby fell through the portal, blinded by the sandstorm that rolled past. She quickly turned around to watch the portal disappear behind her, frozen in place and still processing everything that had happened. Even when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she still couldnt find it in herself to move. 

“Ruby?” asked Emerald. “What happened? Where’s everyone else?” 

“Cinder… Cinder attacked us. I barely escaped-” 

“We dont have time to talk, we need to clear out the grimm or all of this will have been for nothing!” Oscar yelled out as she slammed his cane against a ravager that had attempted to pick up one of the children. “And we need to calm as many people as we can!” 

Ruby slowly stood up, her silver eyes glowing as she faced the grimm that were starting to swarm around the survivors from Mantle and Atlas. She knew they werent able to save everyone, but Oscar was right. They couldnt quit now. Not after everything they did to get here. She clenched her fist and closed her eyes for a moment, focusing on the sand that flew around in the air. 

The wind from the sandstorm started to die down and the sand stood in place, slowly moving to give the hunters and huntresses that made it through sight of the grimm. In a swift motion, the sand launched at the grimm, piercing through wings, bone, and flesh. Grimm fell and plumes of ash and smoke started to fill the air from the dissipating bodies. The sounds of gunshots could be heard from the distance, the surviving grimm starting to drop. 

Ruby opened her eyes and watched as the grimm outside of her reach started to drop one by one. She rushed with her semblance to see what was going on, a scythe of ice and fire formed in her hand as she grew closer to the sounds of gunshots. The fire in her eyes died and the scythe disappeared as she saw a familiar hard light weapon shatter against a grimm. 

“Why am I not surprised you and your team are involved in this?” Coco asked as she walked up from behind Velvet. “Its good to see you again, Ruby.” 

—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“That's quite the story.” Velvet sat down a tray of food for Oscar, Ruby, and Emerald as they sat down. “Though, I’ll admit, that message you sent out terrified us.” 

Ruby stared into the cup she held, her eyes staying on her reflection. “T-thanks for coming to rescue us…” 

“Its no big deal, we were out in the area anyway trying to clear up a few grimm.” Coco glared at Emerald. “Though, I dont understand why *she’s* here.” 

“Emerald helped us out with stopping Ironwood and she has valuable information to help prepare us for Salem’s arrival.” Oscar sat his cup down and looked over team CFVY. “She’s not going to harm any of you.” 

“Its still partly her fault that Beacon fell!” Coco slammed a hand on the table, startling Velvet while Yatsu and Fox exchanged a few looks. “I’m not going to trust her-” 

“I’m asking you to give her a chance, Miss Adel.” Oscar’s eyes glowed for a moment as Ozpin took control and smiled at Coco. “I know she was involved with Beacon’s destruction, but she’s wanting to help correct her own mistakes starting with making sure Vacuo and the relic at Shade academy doesnt fall into her hands.” 

Coco blinked for a moment as she watched Oscar and listened to the sudden change in his tone. “What… just happened?” 

Fox sighed. “I tried to tell you earlier that that kid was off.” 

Ruby finally sat her cup down and looked at her old friends. “Professor Ozpin is in Oscar’s head. I know its a lot to take in considering everything we’ve told you and the message I managed to get out, but… there’s a lot more we havent quite explained.” 

“Like the relic he’s talking about?” Yatsu asked. “Seems like you and your team are always getting into something dangerous.” 

Ruby nodded and let her eyes glow with a silver fire . “Yeah, like the relic, the maidens, Salem…” She let out a sigh and stood up. “I’m going to go take a walk.” 

Velvet sighed as she watched Ruby leave the makeshift barracks. “Its strange to see her like this.” 

Oscar’s eyes glowed once more as he took control back and rested his head in his hands. “She’s lost her teammates and friends while watching her plans get torn to shreds right in front of her eyes. I dont blame her.” 

Ruby took a breath of fresh air as she walked just beyond the walls of the city and sat down to stare up at the sky. She sat a hand down in the sand, heating it into glass as she took a few breaths. “I’ll find a way to get you all back. I swear it.”

[dragonotaku-justineverything]

What’s Weiss’s reaction whe Jaune reveals that he actually prefers small breasts on woman during a game of truth or dare?

“So Vomit Boy, truth or dare?”

“Uuuuuh...” Jaune wasn’t about to test his luck with a dare from Yang. That was pretty much tip #1 for Truth or Dare in this group. Don’t do dares from Yang. Or Nora. Or Ruby after you at the last cookie. Poor Blake had to go running through Beacon dressed only in her Yukata. Without the belt to keep it closed. If she came back before an hour was up, Ruby would burn her “Ninjas of Love” books. So anyways, it wasn’t a hard choice for Jaune. “Truth.”

“Hmmmm.... alright. Which do you prefer? Large tits or small ”

Jaune felt the attention of everyone in the room focus on him. His teammates and teams RW_Y, CFVY, SSSN, and those three students from Haven all waited for his response. With a deep breath and clenched eyes, Jaune gave his answer. “Small!”

There was silence for two seconds. Then Yang blew. “What?!?! Why?!”

Weiss was happy for Yang’s outburst at Jaune because it kept all of the attention off of her as she just blushed and looked down at the floor after he said that. She couldn’t help but focus on the unobstructed view of the carpet over her flat chest.

“I-I dunno! The just seem.... nicer to me. Like, they’d be nicer to p-play with.... and not as c-cumbersome...” As Jaune explained his reasoning, he quickly grew more and more red.

Yang grabbed her well endowed chest and pushed them up, getting every guy (besides Jaune and Scarlet) in the circle to look her way. “Are you telling me you’d rather play with a tiny ass pair of B cups over my massive DD girls!? You are a guy right!?!” She honestly looked offended that Jaune had answered her like that.

At this point Jaune was more embarrassed than he’d been in a long time and just wanted to move on with the game so someone else could be the target. 

 Weiss was feeling embarrassed as well, though also quite victorious as she though, ‘Suck it Yang Cow Long! And thank you Jaune! Flat is justice!’

[smashedcocobeans]

Pyrrha always wanted her partner Joan not only to be her girlfriend but also her pet, but she’s too shy to confess much less train Joan into her pet. She asks Coco for help, much to the fashionista’s delight as she always wanted a romp with the blonde. Cue Coco and Pyrrha using their cocks to mind break Joan.

(I’ve already talked with the prompt asked, I’m changing this to Saphron since I don’t do genderbends.)

Pyrrha has planned on family weekend being an all too normal exchange. Meet some relatives, meet her teammates parents, maybe even get a playful lecture from Ruby’s dad about not breaking his daughter’s heart. She chuckled at the thought, Yang already haven given her a similar speech when she found out about their poly-amorous relationship.

Pyrrha was walking through the halls of Beacon, making her way for some food after her own family had just left. She was in her own head, thinking about who’s dorm she had agreed to sleep over at this evening, when she ran head first into a woman rounding the corner.

They collapsed to the ground in front of each other, Pyrrha able to right herself sooner than the other woman. Pyrrha was able to take several long seconds to admire the blonde before either of them spoke. She was clearly older than the student body, but she was so beutifully sculpted not many could guess it. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her rustic yet practical outfit showed off her most seductive features without being at all revealing. Pyrrha gasped as she glanced at the tell tale embarrassed face and piercing indigo eyes, she must have been one of Jaune’s sisters!

The woman held her head for a second longer, before realizing Pyrrha was even there.

“Oh my goodness! Are you ok honey?! I’m so sorry! I got separated from my wife when my little brother was showing us around, and this school is so massive I got lost.....I’m so sorry to ask, but could you me find my way to the cafeteria? We were supposed to meet there for lunch. By the way, my name is Saphron!”

The Blonde stood and extended a hand down to the blushing champion. She graciously took it and began to lead the Saphron on her way. She radiates our kindness, and was so glad to have someone to talk to on her walk. They talked about everything: Juane’s childhood growing up, how Pyrrha enjoyed the school, and even some of the dates she’d gone on with her wife (although she giggled and hid her face after mentioning them bringing home another girl from a bar).

Pyrrha lead the kind and towering blonde to the entrance of the cafeteria. Before opening the door for her, Pyrrha sheepishly gave Saphron her scroll number “so she could here more stories about Jaune” being her fabricated reason. Saphron smiled and kissed Pyrrha on the cheek before heading inside.

Pyrrha stood in stunned silence for a moment, her whole head growing as red as her hair, before yelling in joy and sprinting off to Coco’s room.

———

“COCO AHE WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! HER HIPS WERE SO PRONOUNCED I JUST WANTED TO SQUEEZE THEM AND HILD THEM TIGHT!!!! And her LIPS WERE SO SOFT!!!! I JUST UUUUUUUGH!!!!! She’s so PRETTY!!!!”

Pyrrha flopped her head into Coco’s pillow as she continued to pine over her latest crush. Coco listened patiently as she fiddled with a new collar on her desk, chuckling at Pyrrha’s our urst of emotions.

“So firecracker, when are you inviting her over?~”

Coco teased without even looking up from her project. Pyrrha felt a huge wave of embarrassment as she got up and paced around the room.

“I don’t even know if I CAN! I’m not exactly the MISTRESS type like you!! I can’t just lay the moves on her and expect her to come crawling over here! I mean sure she told me about her and her wife being with other girls, but that could mean anything! I’m not like you, I can’t just snap my fingers and have her-“

“Sit.” Coco snapped her fingers and Pyrrha silently felt to her knees.

“Come here.” Coco pointed to the floor beside her, all without breaking concentration in her collar. Pyrrha obeyed and looked up at her mistress from the floor.

Coco cupped Pyrrha’s chin as they locked eyes.

“Now I know I trained you better than this. I did not make you into an obedient pet so that you could whine and moan over a girl you are afraid to pursue. If you like this girl, tell her. And if you aren’t confident in your abilities on your own, you may invite her here and I will help you. You already gave her your number. Call her up, and make this proposal-“

Pyrrha listened intently as she began pulling her scroll from her pocket.

———

Later that evening, Saphron was standing nude in the team CFVY dorm room. Pyrrha was pressed up against her front kissing and biting her neck as her cock leaked Precum onto the blondes stomach. Coco was behind her, her cock sawing in between her cheeks as she gripped and spanked her ass.

“You were so right my love, this girls hips are to die for! It’s like they were sculpted to fit in my hands.~”

Coco teased as one hand slid its way around her front to tease Saphron’s clit. Pyrrha took a breath and began to lightly twist and tease the elder blonde’s nipples. She had a confident smirk on her face that only Ruby had seen before.

“I know right? She’s so perfectly built, I want to spend all night admiring every inch of her.~ Not to mention how beautifully she moans.~~”

Saphron was putty inbetween the girls. She felt like her entire body was on fire with pleasure, the younger women finding her sensitive spots with expert precision. Saphron bit her lip as she licked eyes with the camera they had set up for her wife, barely whispering out how good it feels.”

“Please.....please fuck me~~~~”

“What was that? Speak up and tell us what you want~~”

Pyrrha teased the blonde as she ran her hand through her golden locks, grabbing a handful at the base of her skull and pulling their lips close.

“Pyrrha~~~ I need to feel both of you inside of me! I want you to fuck me hard.”

Ask and you shall receive. Coco put a single hand in the center of Saphrons back and bent her forward. The blonde catching herself and opening her legs wide, she began to worship and polish Pyrrha’s cock. Pyrrha ran an encouraging hand through her hair as coco teased the head of her cock between the lips of Saphron’s pussy.

The two dominants locked eyes and gave each other a sly nod before they pushed in at the same time. Coco gasped at how tight the blonde was, she gripped onto her perfect hips for support as she relished in the feeling. Pyrrha took in a sharp breath as Saphron was able to expertly roll her tongue and even take her cock deeper than anyone else had been and leaned to. Both girls were able to fully hilt themselves inside of their sub, and they took full advantage. Although Saphron was smiled and giving them both plenty of attention, she needed to brace herself for what came next

Both women gained firm grips of the blonde before they began fucking get wildly. Their hips flew with little abandon, smacking and slurping filling the dorm as they both neared their first orgasm of the night. Pyrrha came first, gaining a firm grip of blonde hair before Cumming directly down Saphron’s throat, pulling out enough to ensure she was able to taste it on her tongue. Coco was just as forceful, feeling the tight grip Saphron’s was inflicting told her she was close as well. With a final smack across the ass, Coco unloaded buckets of cum inside the blonde.

Saphron collapsed on the floor to catch her breath, cum leaking out of both ends of her and moaning in pure ecstasy. Coco approached Pyrrha and handed her a freshly made beige and orange collar, with a tag dangling the from that said Milf slut.

“You’ve earned this Pyrrha, I always knew you would. Care to put it on her before we start round two?~”

[kdinjenzen]

people seem to be asking you about somewhat contriversial topics today, so here's a nice, drama-free ask for you- what are your thoughts on team cfvy and have you read/plan to read after the fall?

Bless you, Becky for your caring mind.

Anyway, time for a BIG OL CUP OF CFVY!

I haven’t read After the Fall yet, but I plan to, though I do know what happens.

I like Team CFVY, I wish we’d seen more from them, and I do think Crosshares is super cute.

Bloodlines AU: Apex Cosplays

Joethefriendlyponybro: I've got another skit for y'all. And this time, it's a skit based off of DarkSaiyan's cosplay stories but set in my next gen RWBY AU. Let's see what I can share what strange stuff me and DarkSaiyan came up with, shall we?

[Vale City Comic-Con, the Belladonna-Wukong family's planned vacation spot for quite some time was just down the street. At a nearby bus stop stood Sun and his and Blake's daughter, Alexandria. Alex for short.

Sun wore a mustard-yellow jumpsuit along with brown gloves and tinted orange goggles. His hair was scruffier than usual to reflect his cosplay getup as Mirage from Apex Legends.

To his side sat Alex wearing a mostly black but also purple getup, her long and scruffy black hair wrapped up in a ponytail as Wraith from the same game.]

Sun: Whoo!!!! Haven’t been in cosplay gear in such a long time. I feel like I’m back at school again, hehe.

Alex: *removes eye contacts, revealing green eyes* Dad, when was the last time you dressed up?

Sun: Let’s see.......I think it was back when Team CFVY were visiting Vacuo. We all decided to cosplay as the MCU heroes. *chuckling* I called dibs on Star Lord. Neptune was piiiiiissed!

Alex: *jumps on top of bus stop* I think Elsa wanted to go as Sif this year. But, with tending to her folks' restaurant, I guess she had to work on filling out orders for con-goers.

Sun: Well, at least Ren and Nora are making some great cash with their kids this year. *muttering* Blake isn’t taking this as well as I thought she would...

Alex: Is mom taking it that bad? Sorry, cat ears. Couldn't help but pick it up.

Sun: Not really. She just hasn’t been in cosplay in long time. It’s kinda strange for her to be back in the den of the nerds. That.... and she’s getting looks from some thirsty boys.

Alex: You're both running Menagerie's own combat school. Not to mention ensuing Faunus relations across Remnant- -Wait. Who's ogling my mom? Who do I have to cast a hex on to remind them she's a married woman?

Sun: *points* That guy on the right at the bench on the end of the street.

[She turned to see a man thirsting over a photo of Blake on her Scroll. Alex immediately went into pack mode, shouting at the creep.]

Alex: *glares at creep, eyes glowing turquoise* HEY SHITHEAD! My mom is taken, so why don't you back off before I twist you into a pretzel, fondue you and feed you to an Ursa?! *bares teeth, resembling fangs*

Perv: *looks up* Oh my- -! *runs away*

Sun: *nods head* That’s my girl!

Alex: *grins at Sun, eyes no longer glowing* I aim to please! *looks around* Where is mom, anyway?

Sun: *smiling* Getting a smoothie. I might join her later. You're still meeting up with Rhiannon, right?

Alex: Yeah. Rhiannon and I are supposed to meet up at that smoothie joint. I wonder what's taking both of them so long?

Sun: Probably got sidetracked. You know what Remnant’s like.

[Before they continue, Alex gets ambushed from behind in a surprise embrace by a red-haired, ponytailed girl with green eyes and a blue tunic.]

Rhiannon: Sneak hug!

Alex: MREOW!

Sun: WOAH!!!! Rhiannon, hi!

Rhiannon: *sets Alex down, cackling* What's good, Mr. Wukong?

[Blake shortly followed. Dressed in black military-style gear as she noticed her daughter's friend being as sneaky as ever. She was panting as if she were out of breath and holding a drink.]

Alex: *stands down, blinking* Rhi? I thought you picked a costume.

Blake: *panting* Finally...got...that...smoothie.

Alex: *looks up* Uh, what was the hold up?

Blake: The thirsty boys, honey. They can be a handful.

Rhiannon: Mrs. B tried jogging in her Bangalore costume as well. Guess that thick padding got to her, first.

Blake: In my defense, I didn’t think it would be that heavy. I've definitely jogged in padding before.

Alex: Never said you didn't. So me and Rhi are headed to the park. Dad told me a bit about your cosplay funk. *lowers ears* Something wrong?

Blake: I haven’t done this in a while. I feel kinda rusty. But... *blushing* I needed a break from all the stress so we could be with you and Rhiannon. *looks down sadly*

Alex: *puts hand on Blake's shoulder* Mom, you look fine. That's why we dressed up for this con, right?

Rhiannon: *folds arms* She's got you there, Mrs. B. Not like I went for it. I just wanted to hang with you guys.

Blake: *smiles* True. You’re all right, I gotta loosen up.

Alex: *points up* I request as your daughter and aspiring Huntress to enjoy yourself since there's a lot on our plate once the school year starts back up again. Besides, *phases out torso, arms and lower legs* I can look the part as Wraith with my Semblance.

Blake: *laughs* Okay, I surrender!

Alex: *phases back in* Also, I'll be sure to smoke any thirsty boy who gives you bedroom eyes.

Rhiannon: I can tie 'em up with one of my rope bolts if it'll help.

Blake: I'll handle them myself, girls. But thank you.

Alex: Whatever you say, mom. *hugs Blake* And thanks for paying for this trip.

[Blake smiled, embracing her daughter back.]

Blake: Oh, honey. You deserve a treat for your hard work.

Sun: Did it have to come from my bank account though?

Alex: *releases Blake* Oh. Uh...Rhi?

Rhiannon: I 'unno. Some major bounty or escort mission he undertook? *checks Scroll* Come on, Alex. Let's get our photoshoot done.

Sun: Have fun, pumpkin. Try not to cloak in public.

Alex: Sure, dad. *walks off to the park with Rhiannon*

Sun: So, what mission was it last? The- -The one where I would split my paycheck with you to pay for this con trip?

Blake: I think it was the mission where I teamed up with the Red Flowers to stop a horde of Creeps.

Sun: *puts finger up to chin* Or, was it the trawler escort at Sockeye Junction? You know how pirates get around fishing villages.

Blake: Or maybe it was the one where Yang almost set a town on fire to kill some Arachnoids?

Sun: That's still a dumb name for spider Grimm. I don't know how Professort Port outvoted Oobleck on that but- -Nevermind. *half hugs Blake, wrapping tail around her waste and holding her like a dancer, barely spilling the smoothie* That's a good look for you, bee tee dubs. *grins*

Blake: *giggles* Sun, stop it! We’re in public.

Sun: 20 years of marriage. I think I've earned the chance to do stuff like this with you.

Blake: Gods. You’re so mischievous. *wraps her arms behind Sun’s neck* And that’s why I love you.

Sun: *picks up smoothie with tail* Love you too, babe. Shall I give you some sugar?

Blake: *pulls him in* Do it, honey.

[Sun pulled Blake in for a kiss. They practically glowed like bioluminescent mushrooms as their auras glowed with their embrace. They let go upon hearing a sloshy splat hit the pavement.]

Sun: *notices spilled smoothie* Uh, whoops.

Blake: Oh no! *teary-eyed* Damn you gravity!

Sun: Uh...I think there are milkshakes at the local Beetroot's we can get instead. Plus, their new salmon burger looks pretty good. *pulls out debit card* And I got membership there! Huah! *tosses debit card into smoothie pile* ...Man, how did the shopkeep do it back then?!

Blake: ...I like salmon.

Sun: See? Win-win! And I'll pay for the milkshakes.

Blake: *small smile* I’d like that.

Sun: Good husband powers no jutsu! *roundhouse kicks, tripping and landing ass-first into the smoothie pile, crushing cup* Ah, crap. These jeans were a rental.

Blake: *laughing* I guess now we’re even!

Sun: Yay. Anyway, onto the burgers! *wraps arm and tail around Blake* I'll let you wear my cosplay goggles for sex tonight~! *winks*

Blake: *purring* Mmm, I like sound of that.

BLATANT TRANSITION THING

Joethefriendlyponybro: Well, that was certainly something. Hopefully your viewers enjoy it as much as I enjoyed doing this skit with you. This was fun, thanks.

DarkSaiyanGoku: Don’t mention it bro, always happy to help out. I might do more of these RPs more often with anyone else, if they ask.

Title: Nora x Caffeine OTP (RWBY)

————————————————————

*Team JNPR wakes up, all groggy and still sleepy. Nora is clinging onto Ren while Jaune is clinging onto Pyrrha*

Nora (waking up): Ah...my head...what did we do last night?

Ren (also waking up): We threw a big party in here with Teams RWBY, SSSN, and CFVY. Then we went to bed at... *Rubbing his eyes*

Pyrrha (sleepy): Jaune, what time did we go to bed at?

Jaune (getting up and walking over to a coffee maker): Four in the morning, I believe?

*Everyone groans, as Jaune starts making lots and lots of coffee*

Jaune (gulping down the coffee while it’s super hot): Oooh! That’s hot! OOOOHHHHH!!! *Heals himself, and the burn inside him goes away* Ahhh. Alright, who wants do the honors of drinking down some burning hot coffee?

Nora (still clinging onto Ren): Carry me~...

*Ren obliges as he and Pyrrha also get up and walk over to Jaune*

Pyrrha (weakly taking the coffee): I’ll have some... *Drinks it down, but then instantly spits it out because it’s too hot*

Jaune (face covered in coffee spit): ...Told you it was burning hot.

Pyrrha (eyes widened): S-Sorry!

Ren (pouring himself a cup): I’m gonna do this over there... *Walks over to a sink, downs the coffee, then his cheeks turn super red*

*Jaune walks over to him and heals him*

Ren: Thank you.

Nora (still groggy): I want some coffee too~!

*Ren looks at Jaune and shakes his head, as if to say “don’t do it”*

Nora (pouting): Fearless leader, I need some coffee!

Jaune (sighing): Only if you promise not to make more from the machine then gulp down the entire cup of joe.

Nora (taking a cup): But I don’t want to drink Joe, whoever he is. *Jaune pours into her cup, then she immediately gulps it down as she feels the burn* MMMMMMMMM~!!!

*Jaune heals her*

Nora (wide awake): Mmm~! That’s good!

Jaune: Alright, now with that out of the way...what’s say... *smells himself* ...I go take a shower. *Walks over to the bathroom*

Pyrrha: Can I go after you?

Jaune: You could accompany me to make this go faster.

Pyrrha (blushing): Oh!

*The duo giggle as they enter the bathroom*

Ren (looking at the duo): They grow up so fast, wouldn’t you agree No- *Turns around, and sees Nora gulping down all the coffee that’s left inside of the machine* ...Oh no...JAUNE!!! *Runs over to Nora*

*Jaune opens the door and sees what’s happening*

Jaune (eyes widened): Uh oh. *Runs over to Nora as Pyrrha accompanies him*

*Nora’s eyes widened as her eye color becomes bigger and wider, completely enveloping her pupils and sclera until her eyes are pitch-jade, then Nora starts seeing a million thoughts going through her eyes, such as cars moving fast, multiple flowers blooming, a dirty/poor-looking low-class commoner winning more than one million Lien at a lottery, etc....all of this happening while she’s standing in place, jittering and shaking uncontrollably*

Jaune (shaking her): Nora? Nora! Hey! NORA!!!

*Nora takes a deep breath*

Nora (in a calm tone of voice): The past.

Jaune (confused): Huh?

Nora: The present.

Pyrrha (concerned): Nora?

Nora: And the future.

Ren (shaking his head): Oh no...

Nora (still calm): I’ve seen everything. I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen the rise and fall of certain civilization. I’ve seen the first humans walk on Remnant. I’ve seen the first Grimm roam on Remnant. I’ve seen mountains grow. I’ve seen what the moon used to look like. After that, I came across a world different than ours. A world where everybody looked up to us as if we were celebrities and/or gods. A world where people dressed up as us as a sign of affection. A world where people wrote stories about us in an exaggerated manner. One of those stories about where he... *grabs Ren* ...and I were to be married. To have a family. To have finally become one.

Ren: N-Nora? Are you okay?

Nora (picking him up bridal carry style): And I am about to make that particular story become a reality. *Runs out of the room*

Ren: Nora! Snap out of it!

*Jaune and Pyrrha look outside in confusion*

Pyrrha: ...How long do you think the caffeine inside her will last?

Jaune: I don’t know, but I hope it ends soon. I’m not ready to be an uncle yet.

DanganRWBY Chapter 1 - A Push in the Right Direction

It marks the next day of being in the world of kill or be killed. As Ruby desperately tries to find the mechanism powering the forcefield around the academy, tensions suddenly rise to a boiling point, only to be made worse by a sudden announcement from Beochi. Are they really trapped here until someone dies?

(I told you I’d post it today! Yeah, I’m sorry about such the long wait again. I kinda lost motivation for this for a while and finally got it back yesterday. But yeah!)

(Please send in asks/predictions! You don’t have long left until the first death, so you’d better hurry up your guesses! *evil laugh*)

DING-DONG! DING-DONG! DING-DONG!

“Huh- wha-?”

Ruby pulled herself up from the covers, half expecting to look down and see Weiss telling her to wake up or she’ll be late for class.

But then she remembered she wasn’t in a room with Weiss.

And that she wasn’t even in her bunk-bed.

And that she wasn’t usually woken up by a doorbell.

And that she and her friends were put into a scenario where they had to kill each other to leave.

The doorbell kept ringing.

DING-DONG! DING-DONG! DING-DONG!

“SIIIIIIIS!” Yang called out from the other side of the door, not slowing down for a second on the doorbell. “WAKE UP, SLEEPYHEAD!”

“Okay, okay, okay!” Ruby got up to her feet, still a little disoriented and half-asleep, before pulling her hood on, quickly fixing her hair and opening the door.

Yang stopped and stepped back, as if surprised by how quickly she opened the door.

There was a pause.

Yang raised her hand up and rang the doorbell again.

“OKAY I GET IT.” Ruby exclaimed. “Can you PLEASE stop ringing the doorbell!?”

“Alright, alright. Just wanted to make sure you were fully awake is all.” Yang replied with a devious smile. “So, you coming?”

“Coming?”

“Downstairs! To the dining hall. Weiss and Blake are down there. Team JNPR too! Ren’s making tea I think...” Yang put her hand to her chin. “It’ll give you a chance to go over your plan and get some more ideas.”

“Plan?” Ruby asked, before remembering the idea she had the night before. “Oh, the plan! With the forcefield!”

“Yeah, that. Also, after everything that happened yesterday, you need to relax.”

Ruby raised an eyebrow. “Kinda hard to relax when there’s a tiny Beowolf robot thing trying to get us to kill each other.”

“...Touche. Are you coming or not?”

“Yeah, yeah. Hold on.”

Ruby quickly fixed her hair and adjusted her hood, before stepping out of her room and closing the door.

“Yeah, let’s go.”

“It’s about time you guys showed up!” Nora called out, waving from the table.

“Yeah, yeah...” Ruby shyly flicked some of her hair behind her ear.  “Did I miss anything?”

Weiss shrugged. “You didn’t.”

One of the many tables in the dining hall had been set up for them; with Team JNPR on one side, and Blake, Weiss and two empty chairs on the other. A Mistrali-style teapot was placed near the top end of the table, and eight small cups had been laid out at each person’s place.

“Whoa,” Yang said, impressed, as her and Ruby made their way to sit down. “Did you get all of this stuff from the kitchen?”

Ren nodded. “Yes, there are an array of supplies in the kitchen in order to keep us from malnourishment.”

“Huh. For someone who wants us to die, they sure want to keep us alive.”

“You sure that’s what he wants?” Jaune asked. “I mean, if Beochi wanted to kill us, why would he bother with putting us in this ‘killing game’ thing? Wouldn’t he have just gotten his hands, or claws, or whatever they are, dirty himself?”

“I don’t think any of us are sure of what he wants.” Blake replied.

“But Jaune DOES make a good point.” Weiss pointed out. “His objective isn’t for all of us to die, it’s for us to go along with whatever this killing game is supposed to be.”

“But we aren’t!” Ruby said hopefully. “We just gotta wait until help arrives. I mean, the authorities or the Atlesian guard or whatever are bound to notice at some point! All we gotta do is wait it out until they arrive.”

“That’s if Beochi doesn’t, y’know, try to make us by force.” Yang said, tracing along the rim of her cup with her finger.

“Huh?”

“Think about it. He obviously wants us to play this killing game, but right now we don’t want to. Who’s to say he isn’t gonna throw something in to make us try to kill someone?”

“What, like some kind of motive?” Nora asked.

“Yeah, like a motive. He’ll probably say something like...Oh, I don’t know…‘whoever kills someone first gets a lifetime supply of pancakes’.”

Nora’s ears perked up.

Ren sighed. “Nora, it’s just an analogy.”

“Aw...”

“But you see what I mean?” Yang continued. “Since we’re so against killing each other right now, he’s most likely gonna give us some kind of incentive to try and kick-start the game or something like that. I mean, he went to all this trouble, so I doubt he’d want his efforts to go to waste.”

“Yeah, well incentive or not,” Ruby said determinedly. “We’re not gonna kill each other! I mean, we’re friends! We’ve been through a lot together! Sure, team SSSN, Penny, Emerald and Mercury only got here not too long ago, but we still trust each other, right?”

“Of course.” Jaune said, quickly shoving his scroll into his pocket. “I mean, it’s not like he’s gonna say some kind of trigger word that makes us want to kill someone else, right?”

“Exactly.” Pyrrha seconded. “No matter what he tries, he cannot tear apart the bonds we already have.”

“Yeah!” Ruby smiled.

“Now that that’s out of the way,” Ren lightly tapped against the teapot with his forefinger. “Would you two like anything to drink?”

“O-oh! Yes, please!” Ruby nodded.

Yang gave a thumbs up. “Yeah, same here.”

Ren smiled a little, before pouring some tea into Ruby and Yang’s cups. Ruby had almost immediately lifted her cup to her mouth when Ren raised his hand.

“Ah.” He warned swiftly. “It’s still very hot.”

“Oh.” Ruby replied, taking a few seconds to blow a little on her tea in the hope of cooling it down.

“Does that even work?” Nora asked skeptically.

Blake shrugged. “It can.”

After a few more seconds of blowing, Ruby drank a little of her tea, before sighing and putting her cup down.

“Ahh...Thanks, I really needed that.”

Ren nodded. “No problem.”

“So back to the matter at hand.” Jaune said, raising his finger. “Your plan. To disable the forcefield surrounding the academy, right?”

Ruby nodded. “Yeah, if we can find what’s powering it.”

“Going by what Scarlet said last night, it has to be kept active by some kind of mechanism using hard light dust or something.” Weiss added. “Hard light dust is manufactured directly in Atlas and is pretty difficult to obtain, so I’m mainly confused as to how that thing got it...”

“Well, Blake did say that there had to be someone controlling him, right?” Nora asked, which Blake confirmed with a nod. “Maybe whoever’s controlling him got it from the SDC.”

Weiss’ eyes narrowed a bit when Nora brought up her family’s dust company, before quickly softening as she continued.

“Regrettably, you do have a point...” She said thoughtfully. “Beochi appears to run on some form of artificial intelligence. Someone who had the Lien to create something on that level must have enough Lien to make the mechanism powering the forcefield.”

Ren nodded. “That might be true-”

“Or maybe...” Jaune raised a finger up. “They stole it.”

Everyone stopped to look over at him. “What!?”

“Think about it.” He continued. “Sure, maybe they did have the Lien. But given that they’re using it to force us into whatever this killing game is supposed to be, it makes more sense that they just stole the dust, parts, and blueprints to put this whole thing together.”

Weiss shook her head. “That’s impossible! The Atlas security would have noticed all that going missing!”

Jaune shrugged. “Maybe they had a link on the inside, I don’t know! Point is they had some way to get all of this stuff! Who’s to say that they didn’t play dirty?”

Pyrrha hummed thoughtfully. “It would have been an extreme risk, but it sounds plausible...”

“We don’t know for sure right now, though.” Blake replied. “And it doesn’t look like we have a way of proving it.”

“Yeah, but why are we focusing so hard on the ‘how’?” Yang asked. “Y’know, when we should be focusing on the ‘where’.”

“As in where the heck this thing could be?” Nora asked.

“Exactly!”

“Hm...” Ruby thought for a bit. “There’s really only one place that comes to mind for me...”

“Where?” Jaune asked.

“I know it’s pretty obvious, but...”

Nora clicked her tongue. “...Well, that was a total bust.”

The elevator that usually took you to the top of Beacon Tower was completely boarded up.

“I’m sorry, it was the first place I thought of!” Ruby said defensively.

“Well, it makes sense,” Ren agreed, fiddling with the faded lotus flower in his hand.

“Yeah, but we can’t get inside.” Jaune gestured at the barricade blocking the elevator.

“That unfortunately means we can’t exactly check under the school building either...”

“Aaaahhh!” Yang cried out and threw her head back in frustration. “Dammit!”

“No need to get worked up-” Pyrrha said, trying to calm her down.

“There IS a need to get worked up!” Yang argued, her eyes flaring red a little. “We can’t get to the tower, we can’t get to the basement, and there’s nowhere else I can think of where the little bastard would hide a dust machine!” She growled and clenched her fists in frustration.

“Oh, can’t get in there either?”

Everyone stopped and spun around to find that team CFVY had suddenly appeared behind them.

“AAAH WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!?” Ruby exclaimed.

“We’ve been here.” Fox continued. “For the past...Uh...” He quickly turned to Coco. “Cocohowlonghavewebeenstandinghere?”

She shrugged. “I dunno, three minutes-?”

“Three minutes!” He turned back over to them. “We’ve been here for the past three minutes.”

“Yeah, we tried the elevator yesterday.” Yatsuhashi pointed at the boarded up elevator. “For some reason, Beochi felt the need to barricade the entrance.”

“Maybe he just really doesn’t want us to get into the tower.” Jaune suggested.

“Probably.”

“Wait,” Yang asked. “Yatsu, couldn’t you have just, like...Ripped the barricade off?”

Yatushashi gave her a deadpan expression. “I don’t see you trying.”

Yang stopped. “Uuuhhh...”

“And besides, I already tried.”

“Oh.”

“Anyway,” Velvet started to ask. “What do you need to get to the tower for? After what Beochi said yesterday, I doubt that Ozpin is going to be in there.”

“We weren’t looking for Ozpin!” Ruby replied.

“Yeah, what were we expecting,” Jaune started sarcastically. “To find him sitting at his desk, sipping his mug of coffee or hot chocolate or...Whatever the hell’s in that mug?”

“I think it’s coffee,” Fox added. “It explains how he’s able to deal with so much of team CRDL’s BS-”

“Wait a second!” Ruby cut him off. “Fox, you just made me realise something!”

He raised an eyebrow. “Realise what?”

“Where are they?”

“Who, team CRDL?”

“Yeah! I know they’re total bullies, but...Where the heck are they?”

Fox was just about to reply, but stopped. The rest of the group exchanged confused glances with each other.

“That’s...Actually a good point.” He said.

“Yeah,” Velvet added. “There were loads of teams from across Remnant at the academy for the Vytal Tournament. But now,” She started counting the teams on her hand. “We have us, you guys, team SSSN, two more people from Haven, and that girl from Atlas.”

“And that number is a definite far cry from everyone that was here before.”

“Exactly!” Ruby said. “So where the heck are they!?”

“We can’t be sure for now...” Yatsuhashi put his hand to his chin thoughtfully. “But we should hope that they’re somewhere safer than this.”

“Except for team CRDL.” Fox added bluntly.

“Fox.”

Fox shrugged in response. “What? They’re pricks.”

“Anyway,” Velvet continued. “If you aren’t looking for Ozpin, then what’re you doing trying to get in?”

“Oh, uh,” Ruby replied. “It’s just part of the plan.”

“Plan?” Coco echoed, perplexed.

Team CFVY collectively gave her a confused expression.

Weiss leaned over to Ruby. “...I don’t think you told them about your plan.”

“O-oh, sorry!” Ruby continued. “Well, you know the forcefield, right?”

This earned them another collective confused expression.

Jaune gave them a disbelieving look. “...Don’t tell me they don’t know about the forcefield either.”

Ren sighed. “Evidently, they don’t…”

“Okay, less talky-talky.” Coco waved her hand dismissively. “More explainy-explainy!”

“Is that even a word-?”

“Can one of you PLEASE just translate?”

“Right, right, okay!” Ruby said. “Uh...How do I put this simply-?”

“There’s a hard-light dust powered forcefield surrounding the academy.” Blake answered, completely deadpan.

“Blake!”

“What? They needed to know.”

“Waitwaitwait,” Coco replied. “A forcefield?”

“Yes, unfortunately.” Ren nodded. “Nora and I found it yesterday.”

“Yeah, and according to what that Sage guy said last night,” Nora seconded. “It surrounds the whole building.”

Yatsuhashi’s eyes narrowed in concern. “That sounds bad...”

“Wait, which one’s Sage again?” Fox asked.

“That guy in team SSSN.” Ruby replied. “Y’know, the green one?”

Fox gave her a completely deadpan expression.

It took Ruby a few seconds to realise why.

“O-oh, sorry…!”

Yang decided to pick it back up. “The one that sounds like he read an entire encyclopedia at age five?”

“Oooohhhh.” Fox recalled. “That guy.”

Yang shrugged. “Wouldn’t be surprised if he actually did, though.”

Ruby still looked embarrassed at her earlier comment. “Sorry about what I said earlier...”

“It’s fine.” Fox replied casually.

“Though I’m surprised none of you have found it.” Nora continued. “I mean, it's right outside! It's massive, it's not like you can-” She stopped and trailed off when she noticed Fox out of the corner of her eye. “Miiiiiisssssssss...”

“No, go ahead.” Fox replied with a smug glare. “Finish that sentence.”

“Fox, please!” Velvet snapped.

Fox laughed nonchalantly in response. “Velvet, I’m just messing around.”

Her ears folded over in irritation. “You’d better be...”

“Okay, so there’s a forcefield surrounding the academy.” Coco affirmed, adjusting her sunglasses a little. “What’s that got to do with the tower?”

“Well, when we were talking about it with him and Sage last night,” Ruby answered. “Scarlet figured there was some kind of mechanism powered by hard-light dust keeping it active.”

“And you...Assumed it was in the tower?”

“Kinda...”

“It makes some sense,” Yatsuhashi replied. “As it is at the centre of the academy building. And it is where the beacon for the CCT is.”

“Actually speaking of,” Coco whipped her scroll out and began tapping on it. “There’s no signal.”

Ruby stopped in surprise. “Really?”

“Look.” She turned her scroll around to show her. The symbol in the corner of the screen which would usually be displaying how many bars of signal there are was completely empty. “Nothing. Nope. Nada.”

“Maybe Beochi put some kind of jammer up,” Weiss suggested. “To stop us from contacting the authorities directly.”

Ruby shook her head nervously. “That’s not good...”

Pyrrha, who had been silent up to this point, decided to comfort her.

“I wouldn’t worry. The authorities would have noticed something as large-scale as this by now.” She had a reassuring smile. “I doubt that we’ll be stuck in this game for much longer.”

Ruby eventually nodded. “...Y-yeah...”

“What do we do now?” Blake asked. “We know it’s not the tower, and we can’t get into the basement either.”

“Actually,” Yang started. “Have any of us actually been into the basement? Before all this I mean.”

Coco shook her head. “Nope. You have to input some kinda code to get down to that floor. God knows what’s in there...”

Yang shrugged. “Could be in there.”

“But then we have to figure out what that code is.” Ren answered. “And we don’t have Ozpin, or Goodwitch, or any of the teachers here to tell us.”

“So what’re we-”

“GUUUUUYYYYYYYYSSSSSS!!!!!”

“Huh?” The twelve of them stopped and turned around.

Sun was sprinting through the hall towards them. He stopped when he got close enough and started panting to get his breath back.

“What is it?” Ruby asked.

Sun raised a finger up. “Gimmieaminute...” He said breathlessly. “I’vejustbeenrunningforatleastfiveminutesstraighttryingtofindyou...”

Ruby stepped back. “What!?”

Sun took a deep sigh and looked back up, before finally noticing team CFVY were also there.

“Oh, and you guys are here too. Bonus.”

“Sun, can you just tell us what’s going on?” Pyrrha asked.

“Well, uh...” He said. “There’s kinda an emergency.”

“Emergency!?” Ruby exclaimed.

“Kinda! It’s not REALLY an emergency but it also kinda is- how the hell am I supposed to word this…?” He got back on point. “We just really need your help!”

“Wait, ‘we’!?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty urgent! Come on!”

“But we can’t do that!” Penny argued. “It’s not right!”

Scarlet sighed. “I’m just telling the truth. It’s up to you whether you accept it or not.”

Sun, followed closely by teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY, arrived at the courtyard near the statue at the front of the academy building. The rest of the group were there, and it appeared something was going on.

Scarlet growled under his breath and put his hand to his head in annoyance. “Perfect...”

“Oh hey, you guys finally arrived.” Mercury addressed the group. “What the hell took you so long?”

“Hey, I sprinted for at least five minutes straight trying to find them!” Sun argued.

“And what exactly were they doing?”

“Something about a forcefield, a dust mechanism and the tower.” Fox answered with a shrug. “Which we can’t even get inside.”

“Cool.”

Penny turned around to face Ruby.

“Oh! Ruby! Perfect timing!” She pointed over at Scarlet. “Your friend started saying some very bad things...”

“I’m being honest.” Scarlet replied coldly.

“Bullshit!” Neptune exclaimed. “Like hell you are!”

“Guys, calm down-” Sage tried to say, but was cut off.

“Oh GOD, what did he say this time!?” Yang asked angrily.

“Oh, great...” Coco muttered, pushing her sunglasses up a little.

“Guys, guys!” Ruby said desperately, trying to act as the peacekeeper. “Penny, what’s going on?”

“He started saying a lot of bad things.” Penny answered.

“What’d he say?”

“He said that there’s no point trying to escape!”

“WHAT!?” Teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY simultaneously exclaimed.

Ruby turned over to Scarlet, who bitterly rolled his eyes.

“Think about it.” He said. “We’ll be able to survive if we stay here without killing each other.”

“What, and take Beochi’s rule lying down!?” Yang shouted back.

“We’re not taking it lying down. I never said we were killing each other, learn to clean your ears out.”

“Scarlet, what’re you saying!?” Ruby asked, disbelieving of what she just heard.

“You heard me.” Scarlet replied, completely cold in his delivery. “That there’s no point in trying to escape the academy.”

Ruby still couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“He’s been saying this bullcrap for a while now...” Sun explained. “Claiming that it was the truth or something. Penny was trying to convince him otherwise, so I decided to try and get you before it turned into a full-blown screaming match.”

“It’s NOT a claim…!” Scarlet argued, some heat entering his tone.

“Scar, calm down-!” Sage attempted to negotiate.

“THIS DOESN’T INVOLVE YOU!” Scarlet snapped back, in an unnaturally bitter tone.

Sage took a step back in surprise.

“He’s never argued with him like that before…!” Sun muttered in amazement.

“Hey, that was uncalled for!” Jaune challenged.

Scarlet turned over. “Oh, you really think so?”

Jaune growled a little and started to walk over.

Pyrrha grabbed his arm to stop him. “Jaune, don’t-!”

Jaune brushed her hand off. “Sorry, I need to do this.”

He stormed over to him, prompting Penny to dart over to Ruby’s side.

Scarlet nonchalantly placed his hand on his hip and gave him a cold stare.

“I know things seem bad now,” Jaune explained. “But things will get better, hopefully! The Atlas Military will-”

“Oh, the Atlas Military will show up? If that’s the case...” He spun around and gestured at their surroundings. “Then where. The fuck. Are they.”

“They’re...Uh...” Jaune attempted to come up with something. “...Probably busy with-”

“The entire academy is on lockdown and the teachers are missing. If I were head of the Atlas Military, that would be at the top of my list.” He pointed towards the empty sky. “But they aren’t here.”

Ruby was about to interject, but realised he had a point.

Yeah, this should be their top priority...So why aren’t they here?

“Face it, Arc.” Scarlet continued. “Nobody knows what’s going on. Nobody’s coming to help us. Hell,” He laughed bitterly. “They’re probably in fucking Vacuo for all we know!”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t try!” Jaune argued.

“Oh really? How do you suggest we do that?” Scarlet asked sarcastically. “We have no signal, there’s a massive forcefield around the academy, but by all means!” He mocked. “Give us your answers.”

“Being pessimistic isn’t gonna solve anything!” Jaune desperately tried to argue. “We just gotta...Have hope or something!”

Scarlet’s eyes narrowed in frustration.

“Hope…?” He echoed, before suddenly laughing coldly.

His laugh seemed to make the already tense atmosphere even darker.

He walked over to Jaune with an evil smirk.

“Want to know what I think of your ‘hope’?

Before Jaune could reply, Scarlet suddenly kicked him in the side. Hard.

“Jaune-!” Ruby exclaimed in shock.

Jaune tried to get up, but Scarlet stomped on his chestplate to pin him down.

“Scar, PLEASE-!” Sage tried to get his attention, but Scarlet ignored him.

“Shut the fuck up and listen to me, Arc.” He hissed, applying more pressure on his chest. “Your ‘hope’ is bullshit. We don’t have any. There’s no point in trying to escape.”

Jaune tried to reply, but due to the force on his chest, all that came out was a strained cough.

“Scarlet, stop it!” Ruby pleaded desperately. “You’re hurting him!”

Scarlet stopped for a few seconds when he heard her. Jaune decided to use this as a distraction and shove Scarlet’s foot off of him.

“What the fu-!?” He crashed to the pavement when Jaune pushed him over. “NGH-!”

Jaune managed to pull himself back up.

“Scarlet, you’re taking this too far.” He reprimanded. “You can’t just give up like this!”

“Grr...” Scarlet pulled himself back to his feet. “Who said I was…?”

“You literally just said that! You basically said we need to take this sitting down!”

“All I said was that there’s no point in trying to escape. Because there isn’t. Your blind optimism just translated it otherwise.”

“Blind optimism!?” Jaune exclaimed. “You’re one to talk with your blind pessimism!”

“You son of a…!”

Scarlet threw a punch in his direction. Jaune anticipated and dodged it, before punching him in the face himself.

“Guys, stop it!” Ruby pleaded, but neither of them were listening.

Scarlet staggered back from the punch, before charging back over. The two continued trading blows and catching each other’s attacks.

None of the others could do anything to stop them. They just looked on in horror as the fight went on.

Suddenly, one of the speakers nearby buzzed to life.

“Ahem!” Beochi’s voice crackled out of the speaker. “Uh, testing? Testing?”

Scarlet and Jaune stopped, as the group looked in the direction of the speaker.

“Ah! Perfect!” He continued. “I can see that you’re apparently...Busy...With something, but I have an announcement to make! Head over to the amphitheatre on the double! All of you!”

The speaker hummed for a few more seconds before dying out.

“An announcement…?” Ruby echoed questioningly.

Scarlet growled under his breath, still in pain from the blows he received from Jaune. “Anything to get the fuck out of this...” He strutted off towards the academy building angrily.

“Wh- hey!” Jaune called out, also hurt from the fight. “Get the hell back here!”

But Scarlet was either ignoring him or was too far away to hear him, as he continued towards the academy.

Sage sighed in resignation. “I’d...Better go after him...” He turned over to Jaune. “Sorry about that.”

Jaune shrugged. “Don’t worry. It wasn’t your fault.”

“Mmhm...” He nodded halfheartedly, before running after Scarlet to the building.

Ruby and Pyrrha immediately went to Jaune’s side.

“Are you okay!? Did he hurt you!? Do you need me to help you walk back!?”

“I’m fine. Mostly...” Jaune replied. “Thankfully, it doesn’t look like he gave me any fractures. Ehe...”

Penny looked over to him guiltily. “It was my fault for provoking him. I’m very sorry!”

“It wasn’t your fault either.” He reassured. “I was the one who stood up to him.”

“Though what on earth was he thinking, saying that?” Velvet asked. “We can’t just give up...”

Fox whispered something to Coco about needing a play-by-play, to which Coco whispered a long account back.

His blank eyes widened. “God...”

“Tch...” Mercury shook his head, before looking over at Sun and Neptune. “Your teammate’s fucked.”

The pair didn’t reply, just looked at each other in resigned agreement.

“Shouldn’t we go see what this announcement thing’s about?” Emerald asked, pointing to the speaker that just addressed them earlier.

“Hm...” Ren said thoughtfully. “We might have to.”

Ruby looked over to Jaune. “Are you sure you don’t need any help walking?”

“Ruby, just ‘cause I’m not as good a fighter as the majority of the others here doesn’t mean that I’m totally weak.” He replied with a smirk. “I’ll be fine.”

Ruby gulped. “As long as you’re sure...”

“Oh, good!” Beochi clapped his hands together happily. “Everyone came for the announcement!”

“You did just blare that you wanted us out of a speaker.” Emerald replied.

Ruby looked over to Scarlet, who was standing near the corner of the room. A lot of the others – with the exception of Sage – had purposely decided to try not to stand too close to him. The sight alone made her uneasy.

“Well, duh.” Beochi answered. “I don’t think any of you would wanna miss this!”

His words cut her train of thought. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“Well, this is something you wanna hear!...Actually, two things.”

“Two things?” Jaune questioned.

“Firstly, it appears that some of you have found my weapon drops!”

“Weapon...Drops?” Ruby echoed.

“Eeeeeeyup!” Beochi nodded. “Y’know when you’re playing a zombie game and you find a weapon on the ground? That’s basically what this is!”

Ruby recalled some of the events of the earlier day.

“Is that was that cleaver was we found in the kitchen?” She asked.

“Yeah,” Velvet added. “And those kunai that Yatsu and I found?”

“Exactly!” Beochi answered chirpily. “I mean, why ask you guys to kill each other, without actually giving you a method of killing each other? That’s like asking a chef to bake a pie without giving the poor guy a recipe book!”

“That’s completely different!” Yang argued.

“Really? How?”

“Because that example doesn’t involve murder!”

“Aaaand saying that magic word brings me to point número dos!”

“What,” Yang asked. “‘murder’?”

“Of course!” He nodded. “That’s why you’re here, after all.”

“But I already said!” Ruby challenged. “We’re not going to kill each other!”

“Oh really?” He gave her a condescending glare. “Good to see you still have your fire, Little Red.” He flashed her a sharp-toothed grin. “So that’s why I’m giving you all a motive.”

Ruby froze. “Motive?”

She recalled something Yang said earlier that day.

“But you see what I mean?” Yang continued. “Since we’re so against killing each other right now, he’s most likely gonna give us some kind of incentive to try and kick-start the game or something like that. I mean, he went to all this trouble, so I doubt he’d want his efforts to go to waste.”

“So...” Ruby asked. “You’re going to say something to try and get us to kill each other?”

“Of course!” He replied. “I mean, I set this whole thing up, and you don’t even try to kill each other! The closest thing we had was just now,” he glanced at Scarlet and Jaune. “And nobody even got injured! Points for trying, though.”

Ruby glared back at him. “Whatever! You can’t say anything that’ll make us to kill each other! That’s a fact!” She gestured around at the others around her. “We’re all friends! We work together! And nothing is gonna change that!”

“Ya think so?” Beochi asked. “That’s why I’ve decided to use your so-called close-knit bond to my advantage.

His words made Ruby take a step back.

“Wh-what…?”

“Yup!” Beochi smiled. “I’m introducing a two for the price of one motive!”

His yellow eye flashed with an evil glare.

“If someone manages to kill someone and get away with it within the next 24 hours, they – and anyone here of their choice – will be allowed to leave the academy!”

‘AFTER THE FALL’ - LIVEREAD

I say ‘liveread’ but there’s a pretty decent chance this’ll turn into a RWDEread.

So, After The Fall is finally out in the UK and my copy has landed arse-first on my desk, so I’m gonna read it and post my observations here so that you can experience it with me! And also experience whichever stages of grief I go through as we go!

I will preface this with a warning: as much as I love the characters of RWBY, canon is currently the target of all of my spite, so I’m approaching this novel with HANDFULS of wariness and also salt! Most people who follow me already know I don’t pay attention to canon, nor care for it, nor listen to it, and most of you also know I headcanon Velvet as a 6ft+ trans and queer beefcake who can bend your spine into a pretzel, so I’m already at odds here. As such, if it seems like I’m not approaching this liveblog with the benefit of the doubt: that’s because I’m not!!! Yay!!!

So with that said, let’s enjoy Murphy Wishing Velvet Were Big, But Isn’t, And So Suffering Never Ends:

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Firstly, this book is thicker than I expected, whilst the font is bigger than I’d have thought. I know it’s for teens so it’s not as if this was gonna be, like, 1000 pages in a size 10 font, but this probably won’t take me long to read (although it’ll take longer by virtue of me adding to this as we go). There doesn’t seem to be a chapter list, though, so I have no clue how long each chapter is. Guess we’ll find that out when we get there.

Secondly, the cover of this book sure is, uh, a Thing. What’s going on with Velvet’s face?

Thirdly, the cover is Not Nice to Touch. This is a weird observation, but trust me, I’m tempted to laminate the cover just so it doesn’t feel so... dusty.

PROLOGUE

Velvet’s the narrator, and Murphy isn’t surprised! Velvet’s such a fan favourite that having her not be the narrator (at least for some of this book) would have been an absolute crime.

Okay, halfway through the first page and I did laugh at ‘a terrible place to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live there’. I may pass that line along to my dad, because it’s a, how you say, big mood.

Fox’s Semblance is Telepathy, which is... a thing, I guess? I’ve seen some pretty creative thoughts on what Fox might have, and this seems kinda lackluster, but the phrase ‘special teamspeak’ IS funny and I love the concept of them acting like it’s a voice channel on Discord. That’s good, and for that I accept this.

(I will note I trust the author of this novel. He seems neat and I already like the humour. I don’t trust M+K but we already knew that.)

‘As [Yatsu] stepped onto [Velvet’s] linked hands, she heaved upwards and stood, boosting his jump as he catapulted high over her head.’

Velvet, bridal-carrying Yatsu: idk he weighs the same as a couple of grapes

I will say, it’s nice having CFVY content at all. They might be Fools but I do love them,

‘[Velvet] pressed the stitched heart emblem to open it and then removed Anesidora, her high-tech camera that used special Dust--’

Anesidora???? That’s the name of her camera??? Of all the things I expected, that was probably the LAST thing I expected. What??? Wikipedia says it’s Greek for sender of gifts, but why that’s the name I am, Not Sure,

‘Combined with her Semblance--photographic memory--Velvet could wield these 3-D replicas with skills and moves that otherwise would have taken years of training to master.’

That’s no surprise, really (and I did already write a short about Exactly That) but I probably wouldn’t have called it photographic memory. Muscle memory, more like? But yeah, that’s pretty expected.

REESE GOT MENTIONED ILU REESE,,,, when will my gay child return from the WAR. LITERALLY. WHERE IS SHE.

Velvet’s thinking abt Weiss dustbun confirmed!!!!!!!!!!! But seriously when will Velvet kiss a small gay Schnee??? What must I do. Whomst must I kill.

OUGH VELVET LOSING THE PHOTOS OF FRIENDS SHE ISN’T SURE HAVE SURVIVED,,,, OWIE. THAT HURT MY FEELIES MR MYERS,,,, but I AM enjoying this angst and that I shall not lie about.

Ruby and Coco, leaders in arms... I will say that the moment of them kinda regarding each other as equals would have landed considerably better had they ever really, uh, interacted in the show. I tend to write Ruby being Coco’s little protege, but we don’t actually have a ton of canon evidence of that really being a thing? So even though I’m enjoying this li’l tidbit, it’s really lacking some foundation, alas.

Fox’s tonfas (is it tonfa time? I think it’s tonfa time) are called Sharp Retribution. Which MMORPG did he get that from?

“We’re Shade Academy’s newest star pupils.”

The sheer cockiness of it all. Ilu Coco.

Okay so, y’all know that Murphy’s about to say: I HATE that Velvet gets treated like a goddamn marshmallow. I’m trying my BEST, I SWEAR, not to complain abt canon Velvet because everyone knows this is my biggest sticking point, but god I hate that she’s written to have such a specific semblance and be so squishy. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa--

Also: we’re having a case of a jumpy POV, particularly with the conversation with Glynda. I know this tends to be something that happens with writing for younger audience, but woof am I noticing it.

I’m liking Yatsu!!!! He had like, no lines (at all) in the show, but he’s actually more of a smartass than I had dared hope for, so that Something.

Oh yeah, Fox is a Vacuan boye! I do like that he’s very chill with everything whilst Velvet is begging for seven different types of death (but could I make a comment abt my Velvet here? Yes. Am I going to? I’m trying not to).

CHAPTER ONE

Owie wowie this is already gettin’ kinda long. If chapter one causes a lot of commentary, I may have to add on in a reblog so the people don’t have to suffer.

Coco is our narrator now! Let’s see how many times the word ‘sunglasses’ comes up (hint: probably enough times that if I took a shot for every one I’d be very dead).

/sees the name Alabaster YOU aren’t a big chunky polar bear Faunus! Leave!

“Who’s your tribe?” “I’m from Kenyte,” Fox said. “But it’s been a long time.”

Vacuan tribes, baby! I’m tempted to see how I could work this into anything, but my lore is pretty stick-stuck so I’m probably just gonna jot this down as a ‘cool thing’. Oh, wait, they’re tribal nomads, which means it DOES fit the lore!!! Nice!!! Murphy guessed it!!! Cool!!

‘A perky Faunus waitress with a pig snout came over.’

With a what. Canon, where are we with traits? Also, like, I feel there are multiple childhood movies that scared the crap out of me with people getting pig snouts so I’m making the executive decision to ignore this line. Never happened.

Racism incoming, so I’m getting a cup of tea.

And we’re back! This guy also has a mace and a mohawk and is he just the combination of team CRDL or what?

‘Coco couldn’t take her eyes off the fit, dark-skinned woman.’

I presume they mean fit as in physically fit but my BritBrain is like ‘hell yeah shes fit’ and now I’m envisioning Coco as, like, maybe a scouser. Can you imagine her with a beehive? Anyway, moving SWIFTLY on.

‘--chain mail crop top--’

I’ve never seen a worse combination of words, which is impressive when I wrote Velvet as wearing bright yellow boardshorts with a neon-blue tank top that one time. And by one time, I mean, every time,

I’ve seen this outfit in pictures ‘cause of Amity Arena but god it sounds even worse in words like. Nobody is hot enough to pull off this absolute jumble of clothes. Nobody is.

I do enjoy big lesbian Coco though, so there’s that.

People have already mentioned the ‘could you picture me in a uniform’ line w/ Thirsty Coco so I won’t give it more screentime but it is a mood, and now we know coco has a uniform kink,

“We’re doing this for school credit,”

fox: i do not want money i want an a+

Velvet POPPIN OFF for Mysterious Reasons... is this gonna be like Qrow’s bad luck Semblance only someone has the Semblance of ‘Will Piss Everyone Off In Vicnity’? I think we call those anons,

CHAPTER TWO

I think I’ll stop after this chapter since this chapter’s a little bigger, and this liveblog is already too dang long. It’s a flashback!

‘Vale has been [Coco’s] home all her life.’

I’m quietly ignoring this line in favour of Atlesian Coco. You cannot stop me. But Coco does have a younger brother, so that’s neat! Kinda! IDK what to do with this information but it sure is there existing!

‘And to top it off, [Glynda] was also hot--’

This is the only bit of canon I will accept, because it’s true and Coco should say it.

‘[Velvet and Coco had] both come from Pharos Combat School--’

Another tidbit ignored because I favour Menagerie-born-and-bred Velvet, but I do like hearing the names of other combat schools outside of Signal. Looooooore.

OH there’s a GOOD PARAGRAPH HERE that I don’t really wanna type out, but Velvet is mentioning how she doesn’t like bunny jokes or puns (’hop to it’, she classifies as ‘harmless-but-hurtful’) and THANK YOU, oh my GOD. I’ve written about this before but if I see one more person have Coco make a bunny joke in a fic I will fight Them Myself,

Oh, Fox’s Scroll has an ‘Accessibility Dialogue Assistant’ (ADA)! That’s quite cool, actually. I’ve been wondering how tech might have functioned for Fox, so we have some confirmation about a Scroll’s use for accessibility stuff! That’s neat! I like that! Also, his telepathy also lets him sense people -- pinpointing them exactly the better he knows them -- so that’s a cool little side-effect, too. Although, I swear these Semblances are getting more poorly named by the minute.

Coco’s weapon is called Gianduja, which is... a type of chocolate! Unsurprisingly.

‘Besides, Coco wasn’t looking for a girlfriend--’

yet.

Coco and Fox have a fun dynamic, and I enjoy it immensely. They’re bros...

Also, how does Velvet procure this very expensive Dust for her weapon, anyway? I wonder if we’ll find out later.

“You’re from Mistral,” she said. Yatsuhashi blinked. “So?” “Your people don’t tend to like my people.”

That’s an interesting tidbit that Mistral as a whole has a reputation. I suppose they mean the Kingdom and not the continent (of Anima), but still.

“Don’t worry,” Velvet smirked. “I’ll protect you.”

ah, that is, how the kids say, hott,

“So it’s a Death Stalker den. Only an idiot would go in there.”

Jaune found dead from a sneezing fit.

Awh, I like Coco describing the temple bit. Already she’s looking out for her Best Boye. Also, playing cards are a cool thing, and they’re the King of Hearts! That’s ‘cause they’re gonna win a lot, too,

Okay, I now understand Coco’s Hype Semblance. It’s interesting! I’m curious how else it can be used, aka how versatile it is, but it’s a neat concept.

Velvet dabbled in fortune-telling when she was younger and I am enamoured with this idea. Also, picking the Queen of Hearts ‘cause it’s the only one w/ good vibes? Love it.

Okay, end of chapter! RIP Velvet who constantly looks like a squishy baby, and even though that still Irks Me As a Person And A Gay, at least it’s. Maybe gonna be a plot point or smthng idk. Anyway, I’m stopping here for now because this is slow going when I’m adding commentary, so I’ll probably reblog this and add onto it later. Less RWDE than expected, but it’s still early chapters yet.

@gatlingal​

     It was good seeing familiar faces, comrades and friends alike. By pure coincidence, the huntress had gone to a small restaurant to have a cup of tea and a few snacks, only to encounter one of her upperclassmen, who seemed to be looking for a place to sit. Most of the seats were occupied, so Blake sets down her book to invite her over.

          "Hey, Coco. You can sit here if you want."

     Once Coco had taken a seat across her, Blake started a conversation that would help settle the questions she had for her.

          "I don't think I've seen you since the Battle of Beacon," her finger lingers on her teacup. "are the other members of Team CFVY here too?"

[absolutelyxosmittenxo]

Imagine: Going shopping with Coco Adel. 

－ ＣＯＣＯ ＡＤＥＬ ⭐

⭐ Fan of looking for clothes and such or not, the Adel will drive passionately to spoil you until the sun goes down and the moon summons the night and all its creatures to come out. 

⭐ Suggesting you outfits, giving you fashion tips and occasionally squeezing a few flirty lines throughout are among the things on your agenda. 

⭐ Marvelling at your incomparable grandiosity, the gunslinger would tip her shades, and whistle, complimenting on your sense of style and wanting to have a small taste of what you've got. 

⭐ If the dressing room is secluded, she'll behave adventurous, and caress your thighs and pucker up to kiss you lovingly and leave you breathless, bodies rocking against the wall.
