Jaune Is Not Allow To Drink Alcohol #4

At Junior's

Mercury: What are we doing here?

Cinder: We're looking for that Arc fool.

Mercury: Ok...

Mercury: Why?

Cinder: *Angry* Don't you pay attention to my plans?!

Mercury: I will be honest, I have never paid attention to your plans.

Cinder: Urg! We're here to get Arc drunk so we can find a weak point we can use against the famous Pyrrha Nikos.

Mercury: Oooooh! Well, lucky for you it seems he's already drunk.

He says as he looks past Cinder. She follows his gaze and sees Jaune drinking a mug of beer while singing.

Cinder: This will be easy.

Mercury: Good luck.

Cinder: I don't need luck.

She begins to walk towards him while Mercury stays behind watching.

Jaune: *Singing* 🎶Mr. Miller has laid old Otis in his grave...YAH!🎶

Cinder: Hey Jaune~

Jaune: Huh? *Turns to her*

Cinder: Can I join you for a drink? I can be very good company~

She says with a sensual smile

Jaune: *Upset* No.... I like woman. *Walks away*

Cinder: *Angry* W-WHAT?!

Mercury: AHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm Still Here

RWBY doesn't do 'found family' well at all.

I also really loved Treasure Planet and think the best Jim stand-in would be that lovable little misanthropic asshole Mercury. Of all of the characters who needed a good dad, he needed it the most.

I physically couldn't stop this from happening.

Prince of Vale part 2

Jaune: *sitting on his bed, looking pensive*

Pyrrha: *brushing her hair* Is something wrong?

Jaune: Hm? *Shake his head* No no, it's just... You remember that girl in class?

Pyrrha: Which one?

Jaune: The one from Haven. The one who acts as if she is superior to everyone, but at the same time tries to hide it behind the fake smile.

Pyrrha: Oh, Cinder, right?

Jaune: *snapping his fingers* Yeah, that one. She kept looking at me all day.

Pyrrha: *roll her eyes* Another Princess wannabe. *Sigh* You'd think they get the message after you said no to the 20th.

Jaune: Pyrrha, you know better than anyone what fame does. *Chuckle* Your fan even thinks we are dating and they STILL send you love letters.

Pyrrha: *mumbling* If only that was true.

Jaune: What?

Pyrrha: *shake her head* Nothing. So, where were you going with this?

Jaune: Well, at first i thought it was sympathy or something, but it looks... I don't know. Weird? It's like she wants to talk to me and at the same time run away. I'm just wondering what's wrong, you know?

Pyrrha: *mumbling again* Goddamn hussy, i'll show you...

Jaune: Pyrrha? Are you ok? You seem a bit... Angry.

Pyrrha: *crossing her arms, frowning* I'm not. And yes, i know what you mean. Maybe she didn't have the best childhood? Mistral isn't known for being the best of place.

Ren: *who was reading a book* I wonder what would make you say that.

Nora: *playing on her scroll* Yeah, it's the safest place ever. Totally not a den of criminal.

Jaune: *chuckle* Sarcasm aside, maybe we should try befriending her?

Nora: *pausing the game* Are you sure she's... Uh... Kind of a bitch.

Ren: *looking up from his book* Worse than Weiss?

Nora: Touché.

Jaune: *shrug* Beside, it might give us more information on their team. Weakness and all that, you know?

Pyrrha: That... Sounds more callous than you used to be.

Jaune: *shaking his head* Sorry, old habits. My bumbling fool persona might not be far from the real me, but taking advantage of any situation IS important as a king. *Scratch the back of his head* My tutors drilled that teaching in my mind.

Meanwhile, in Cinder's team dorm

Cinder: *irritated* He's been looking at me for the last few periods. I think he is onto us.

Mercury: His mother died not even a week ago and everyone knows he is going to be the next king. *Shrug* I'd be paranoid too. He's probably the biggest target of every kidnapper in Vale.

Emerald: *sigh* As much as i hate to admit it, Mercury is right.

Cinder: *massaging her eyelids* I know that already, but it's not as if we are trying to kidnap him. *Sigh* Her Majesty asked us to look after him in secrecy, and i won't fail that mission.

Trivia: *texting* The queen did say he was a good judge of character. He probably already knows that we are trying to look after him. Or at least, that we aren't after him.

Emerald: And you were watching him a bit too intensely-

Cinder: Of course i was! The son of the woman who took me in when i was a slave is in front of me! I would give my life for him!

Mercury: *placing a hand on her shoulder* So would any of us. But you need to calm down, if you don't want our cover to blow up. Roman worked his ass off for them and i don't think they would work a second time.

Trivia: *texting* Maybe you should wear sunglasses? At least he wouldn't see that you are looking at him specifically.

Emerald: *shake her head* It's too late for that, we should try doing some damage control.

[onyxgabriel]

Pot of Gold AU: Amgery

Pete and Pancake: angry barking

Jaune: holding the two back Pete! Pancake! Stop! I'm really sorry about this, you four!

Neo: eyes sparkling at the adorableness and starts making kissy faces

Cinder: It's fine, no need to worry.

Emerald: cautiously watching the puppies You sure those little guys are safe?

Jaune: I swear that they've never acted like this around anyone 'Except for Cardin.'

Mercury: Ah, c'mon, they can't be that bad, can't they? reaches out to scratch Pancake's chin

CHOMP!

Mercury: glass shattering YEOW! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!

Jaune: Pancake, no! scritches underneath her chin to let the finger go

Mercury: hisses and rubs the bitten finger Dude! Do something about them!

Neo and Emerald: laughing at his expense

Jaune: I'm very sorry about this!

While Jaune left the four, the pups soon calmed down. Unbeknownst to everyone, the pups were actually saying some things to them. Let's see~

Puppy translations:

["Fat! Ugly! You smell!"]

["I'll bite your ankles off!"]

["Cringe!"]

["I'll feast on your liver!"]

["You suck!"]

Sorry if I've been absent for a while, I had a hell of a time with college, and now I have to look for a job for my OJT. And more bad news is that I flunked one of my classes

[didyoutrydynamite]

Ren: Why do you look like that?

Cinder: *Lying facedown on the floor* Like what?

Ren: Like you're dead.

Cinder: Because I’m dying. Leave me here to perish.

Mercury: Cindy accidentally called Jaune "babe" in front of everyone today.

Cinder: *Groans as she dies internally*

Penny: Greetings, friends~! I have the most wonderful news to share! The charging of the relics is almost complete!

Mercury: Great, Penny.

Penny: Yes... It is great, isn't it? I have already run through simulations, and though there is always room for error and improvement, the relics should be ready to fire in just a few more days!

Mercury: We don't have a few more days. (Approaches relics)

Penny: (Stands in front) B-But premature activation will destroy the relics!

Mercury: (Groans) Kick her ass...

Home is Where Your Light Shines Brightest

Chapter 23: Always Be Prepared

Story Summary: Ozpin works tirelessly in his pursuit: to make Beacon of Hope a safe place for kids to grow up.  With a bigger location and more kids to take care of, Ozpin starts to feel the weight of responsibility crushing him, and he plans to carry the whole thing himself.

For Qrow, volunteering for Beacon of Hope had only one purpose: to get Summer off his back for a little while.  When he meets the polite, friendly, and handsome man in charge, he wonders if he could actually get something out of this whole ordeal after all.

With Qrow’s support, maybe Oz will be able to reach his goal of turning this house into a home.

RWBY blooper reel for the actor AU, anyone?

From 7x5

KERRY SHAWCROSS: And, action!

ROBYN: Clover, I’m so glad you’re here. Maybe you can help me understand why this truck that’s supposed to be taking construction materials to fi- (flutters tongue, clears throat) Sorry.

(Another take.)

ROBYN: Maybe you can help me understand why this truck that’s supposed to be taking- Ugh, damn it!

(Yet another take.)

ROBYN: Maybe you can help me understand why this truck that’s supposed to- Ugh! (to Kerry) What number take is this?

KERRY SHAWCROSS: Fifteen.

ROBYN: Alright, I’ll be in my trailer.

From 4x6

(During the fight at the ruins, Tyrian climbs onto Jaune’s shield and his weight brings both of them to the ground, sending the cast and crew into hysterics.)

TYRIAN: (to Jaune, laughing) I’m so sorry. Are you okay?

JAUNE: (also laughing) I’m fine.

From 4x1

SALEM: Then I see no reason for your cruelty towards young Cinder. She’s become our Fall Maiden, destroyed Beacon Tower, and most importantly, killed dear Ozpin.

(A piece of the set behind them falls, startling all of them.)

SALEM: Oh, my Gods, that scared me.

(The villains and crew break into hysterical laughter.)

Adding something extra because I left out someone SUUUUUPER important!

Prince of Vale part 3

Hallway

Jaune: *Walking to Cinder, smiling* Hey, Cin-

Cinder: *Panicking, start Running* I'm sorry i can't talk right noooooow! *Goes through an open window*

Jaune: -der!?

Library

Cinder: *reading a book*

Jaune: *looking over her shoulder* Oh, i love this story!

Cinder: *surprised, freeze*

Jaune: ... Cinder?

Mercury: *reading a comic book* She does that when she's surprised. She'll be back in a bit.

Jaune: *sigh* I'm sorry. *Leave*

Mercury: *wait until Jaune's gone* You can stop acting now.

Cinder: *still doesn't move*

Mercury: ... Cinder?

Cinder: *slowly tilt to the side before falling, petrified*

Mercury: ... *Goes back to reading* Eh, she'll be fine.

Cafeteria

Jaune: *try sitting next to her* Yo!

Cinder: *choke on her sandwich*

Jaune: *panicking, does the heimlich maneuver*

Cinder: *lose consciousness by the sheer embarrassment of being saved by the one she is supposed to protect*

Jaune: *thinking she is dying* I'M SO SORRY! DON'T DIE ON ME!

JNPR's dorm

Jaune: *looking gloom*

Pyrrha: *entering the room, wincing when she sees Jaune* I'm guessing it didn't go as planned?

Jaune: *depressed voice* Oh, hey Pyrrha... *Sigh* I think she genuinely hates me.

Nora: *frown* Weird, she talked to me without problems. *Look at Ren* You?

Ren: *nod* Same here.

Jaune: *sigh of despair*

Pyrrha: *crossing her arms, leaning her back on the wall, thinking* "That doesn't make any sense! I heard her praising Jaune's kindness when i passed near the infirmary. So either she was lying, or..." *Gritting her teeth, thinking Cinder is in love with Jaune* "That bitch!"

Meanwhile, in Cinder's team dorm

Cinder: *rocking back and forth* I'm a worm, an insect, a miserable pile of disappointment.

Trivia: *writing in the air* What happened?

Mercury: She made a fool of herself... Multiple times.

Trivia: *cocking one eyebrow* How bad?

Emerald: *patting Cinder's back slowly* Don't worry boss, i'm sure he doesn't hate you.

Cinder: *despairing* He must think i hate him now. I failed my duties. The madame was right all along. I should have died in the cold streets of Atlas, the queen was wrong...

Trivia: *wincing when she hears that*

Mercury: That answer your question?

Trivia: *writing* At least it's only a misunderstanding. I heard they are trying to befriend us. So as long as we give a reason for her erratic behavior, we should be fine.

Cinder: *stop for a second* ... He was trying to befriend me?

Trivia: *unsure if she should answer* ... Yes?

Cinder: *Melting on the ground* I ran away from the prince's kindness. My life is meaningless.

Emerald: *sigh* It's going to be a long year.
