More Afterall Drabble

because now RWBY is on hiatus until next time..

Ruby started writing down what happened and whats been happening in a journal it was her way of acknowledging whats happened over the years. And also leaving behind a legacy, she acknowledges that its far from perfect but its still her life.

Some happy things happened, some sad things happened and she embraces both. Like when she met Weiss, when she nearly blew up on her first day at beacon. team rwby versus team jnpr during the food fight and how she finished the fight. The hours she spent creating tag team names; ice flower, ladybug, freezerburn. She even shared these ideas with Jaune and they started coming up with even more team attack names.

the binder she totally didn't steal from weiss and her collage of photos from beacon...

She wrote all of this down in a big book, even somethings that were more personal like her crushes. She met some brave huntresses and hunters along her journey, saved people and almost the world. But her biggest achievement...was going back home. Making it back home, being with her family again.. even creating one from the friends she'd made along the way.

Ruby also took sometime off and settled down for a bit, gods knows she deserved and needed it.

Yeea~ars later she's now looking down at her little people, she sees her and her sister all over again. All one of them was missing was a cape...she started to drape it around one of her little ones. Until she remembered what wearing the cape meant... Instead she hung her cape up and played with her little monsters thinking to herself.

"Mom ..can you see us? I wish you were still here if even for a moment. I know you'd love to meet them and tell them all those wonderful stories you told us. What I wouldn't give to be tucked in bed listening to one of your stories...just one more time"

Edgy Teen Phase

*Ruby and Jaune are seen chilling in RWBY’s room*

Jaune: *On his Scroll* “Whoa! Haven’t seen this one in a while.”

Ruby: “Hm? Haven’t seen what?”

Jaune: “Oh, it’s a silly music clip that just popped up on my recommendations. I used to listen to it all the time during my edgy teen phase.”

Ruby: *Snort* “You had an edgy teen phase?”

Jaune: “Sure did. Everyone has it, Ruby. Afterall, you can only be fourteen once.”

Ruby: “Well, I’m fifteen and I never had an ‘edgy teen phase’.”

Jaune: “Huh… Are you sure you’re not in your edgy teen phase still?”

Ruby: “WHAT?!” *Punches his arm* “D-Don’t even joke about that! Where did ya get that idea?!”

Jaune: “Ow!” *Rubs his arm* “It makes sense though! For example, you dress mostly in black and red.”

Ruby: “So what if I do?”

Jaune: “That’s like, the edgiest color palett known to man!”

Ruby: “I just happen to like these colors, okay?!”

Jaune: “You also wear a hood on top of it. Hoods are pretty edgy.”

Ruby: “Oh, so you’re saying the original Little Red Riding Hood is also edgy?”

Jaune: “Maybe? I mean, have you seen those Old-War German stories that inspired nowadays fairy-tales? That stuff is hardcore.”

Ruby: “Listen here, mister… SHUT UP! So, you’re gonna watch the video or not?”

Jaune: “I wasn’t planning to, but… Eh, why the hell not? Tell you what, why don’t we watch it together? We can poke fun at it and have some laughs.”

Ruby: “That’s the smartest thing you said all day.” *Sits on his lap* “First one to cringe pays for the cookies!”

Jaune: “You’re on!” *Hits play*

-Later-

*_WBY & _NPR arrive*

Yang: “And then she said: Now that’s a kata-”

Blake: “You already told that story twenty times on the way here.”

Yang: “It’s hard to come up with filler conversation, okay?” *Slightly opens door* “Whoa, why is it so dark in there?”

Nora: “Someone hasn’t been paying the electric bill.”

Weiss: “…Oh, har har. You can all stop looking at me now.”

Blake: “As intriguing as this is, there’s a bookmarker with my name on it, so…”

Ren: “Hang on. Something’s happening inside.”

*They all peek in*

Jaune with his hood on and a flashlight under his chin:

How many fools can I kill today? Too many to count, don't get in my~ way

Ruby with her hood on and a flashlight under her chin:

I shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow

In unison:

Tomahawk chop is my death blow

Weiss: *Whispering* “…What am I watching?”

Yang: *Starts filming* “I’ll tell you what you’re watching: Dad’s next Nondescript Winter Holiday present.”

Pyrrha: *Sigh* “It’s my edgy teen phase all over again.”

BNR: “Same.”

Welp thats pretty sadge. Really is a shame that RT got booted so abruptly with no warning. Its actuall really disrespectful to announce it before actually talking the the RT apartment. Its people's jobs we're talking about afterall.

But it is what it is. Who knows what will happen to rwby now. Maybe they'll make a new department for Crwby to finish up rwby. maybe a new team will fully take over and fuck it all up. Maybe Rwby will fall into the unfinished void cause WB will refuse to hand rights back ovef to the creators. We'll see.

I do hope WB has at least a bit of a heart to keep crwby on to keep creating rwby, but considering this disrespect of not even informing RT that they're jobs are lost before announcing it to the public, i have doubts.

I'm glad they at least managed to get V9 done as their past RT volume. So much work and love was put into it and definitely is a good send off if Rwby never sees V10

But despite my thoughts about Rwby, what matters most is fact that loads of people have lost their job in the blink of an eye with no warning. I hope all of them can move on and find new employment quickly and promptly. They're all super talented and hope emplyers canbsee that in whaf they've managed to do so far

[rwby-sk]

Do you think we'll see Jaune at all in the first episode?

Oh absolutely not

First episode is Ruby meeting Little and setting up the new location

Second episode is Ruby meeting WBY and learning their stories. MAYBE someone says "at least we're all together" and an after credit scene suggests Jaune

Third episode might have Jaune or Neo separately but only minimally

It's RWBY's story afterall

[bridgyrose]

I thought up an AU involving these pics from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RWBY/comments/11w06j8/team_rwby_with_a_twist_art_by_coconuthound

Team Rwby but their weapons swapped each others.

(Enjoy the drabble as a start to something that... I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with it yet. I just wanted to do something that wasnt in Beacon for an au like this.)

“Weiss!” Ruby called out as she stabbed into a grimm with her sword. “Now would be a good time for a wall!” 

Weiss nodded as one of the dust crystals on the knuckle of her gauntlet started to glow and she slammed the claws of her glove into the ground. A smile crossed her lips as ice started to jut out of the ground, separating the grimm that had started to surround them. “Yang! Your turn!” 

“With pleasure!” Yang sliced through the grimm with her rapier, quickly moving to keep from getting hit. “Blake! Time to finish this!” 

Blake pulled her scythe back and jumped at the larger of the grimm, using her semblance to create a double of herself for a bit more height. With a smile, she twisted her body to spin down to the grimm, slicing through with her blade like a saw. “How many are left?” 

“Not much more!” Ruby burst into a cloud of petals and rushed around the remaining grimm, wrapping the ribbon of her weapon around one of the grimm. She finally reformed and pulled on the ribbon to offset the grimm before launching into a strike of gunshots to finish them off. Once the smoke of the grimm cleared, she dropped to the ground and sighed. “Done…” 

Weiss rolled her eyes and let her gauntlets form back to the gloves and bangles that she kept them as. “Dont be so dramatic. You know this was child’s play for us.” 

“Maybe, but doesnt make it any less tiring.” Ruby sheathed her blade and pulled out her scroll to complete the bounty. “Besides, that’s the fourth time this month there’s been that many grimm near a village. Something doesnt feel right.” 

Blake folded up her scythe and put it on her back, her ears twitching as she listened for anything nearby. “And you already have a plan, dont you?” 

“Yes. Kinda…” Ruby sighed. “Well… more like… half a plan. We need to get more information, but I’m still not sure what we’re supposed to be looking for.” She started to pace around the forest clearing, her hand moved to her belt to instinctively mess with her emblem as spoke. “None of this makes any sense! Grimm arent dumb, but they dont mass up like this without something giving orders. But there’s nothing around these grimm. No tech pulling them together, no one trying to control them or give them orders…” 

Yang sat down on a fallen log and started to clean the blade of her rapier. “Maybe we should talk to Ozpin-” 

“No!” Ruby stopped in her tracks and took a breath to calm herself. “We need to leave him out of this.” 

“Why?” Weiss asked. “Ever since we graduated Beacon, he’s done nothing but provide us with everything we could ever need to get our missions done. He’s helped upgrade our weapons, made sure we have more than enough dust, funds us for everything we’ll need including food and lodging, provides us all of our transportation… If we keep ignoring his calls or refuse to come to him for answers, at what point will he finally have enough and cut us off?” 

“Dont forget, he did bend a lot of rules for us,” Blake added. “Afterall, you wouldnt have been a student as early as you were without him and we wouldnt have been a team.” 

Ruby pinched the bridge of her nose and grumbled a bit. “I know.” She pulled her hand away and started to run through her scroll again. “Alright, I’ll… I’ll see what he knows. But I’m not happy about it.” 

Weiss watched her partner walk off and slowly sat down. “Is Ruby doing okay?” 

Yang nodded and finally put her blade away. “Ever since she found out that mom went missing while on a mission for Ozpin, she’s been doing her best to avoid him. She cant keep avoiding him and this might be for the best.” 

Weiss nodded slowly and waited for Ruby to come back. “As long as we’re not pushing her too hard.”

Ruby: Weiss and I had an argument.

Yang: Oh, she's not talking to you?

Ruby, sighing: No, when she's pissed she just gets really dramatic and ominous. Watch. Weiss?

Weiss, not looking up: Yes?

Ruby : I love you.

Weiss: You only love the idea of me.

Ruby: [sighs loudly]

Salem (interrogating Oscar about the Relic): Oh really boy why are you so stubborn in defying me. All of this can end if you merely do as I say. 

Oscar: Do your worst. I’m not giving you anything. 

Salem: Perhaps you’ll change your mind when you hear what happened to your dear Rose. 

(That gains Oscar’s attention) 

Salem: Oh yes. She just had to try and be bold and daring. Tried to claim I could be bested even though I could not die. So I broke her. 

Oscar, voice as neutral as possible: You what? 

Salem, oblivious to how bad of an idea this is: I told her the truth of what her foolish mother dared to try. She collapsed crying on the spot. I must admit there is nothing quite like seeing the sheer devastation in one’s eyes when they realize the futility of their goals. Especially the Silver ones. 

Oscar breaks his restraints with his bare hands and falls to the floor. The Hound nearby tries to attack him, only for Oscar to grab the thing and crumple it up like an empty soda can before tossing it away.  

Salem, only now realizing she may have pushed things too far: What on- 

Oscar, expression not changing in the least: I’m going to kill you now. I don’t know when I’m going to stop.

the image is only a reference...and because I already found how to send images haha

Oh, I know this manga. Good manga. I’d tell you the name, but as perusual with anime as of late, it’s name is stupidly long…

The Vengeful Angel

Nora: Run, run for your lives!

Ren: Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap?!

Nora: Why?! Why did you do this, Pyrros?!

Pyrros: I’m sorry!

Nora: Sorry won’t help us when we’re fucking dead!

Ren: Just keep running, we just might make it!

Nora: Why why did you do this to us?!

Pyrros: I’m sorry!

Nora: Stop apologizing?!

Ren: Run! Run now!

Nora: Shitshitshitshitshitshit!!!

Ren: Jeanne’s mad, she’s so mad! How did you make her so mad?!

Nora: Mad enough that we started running for our lives?!

Ren: You fucked us, Pyrros! You’ve fucked us all!

Nora: And, not in the way any of us wanted!

Pyrros: Wait, what?! I haven…?!

Nora: Not in the way any of us wanted?!!

Pyrros: I’m sorry?!

Ren: Don’t apologize to us! Apologize to…?!

The wall before them explodes in a shower of dark flames, and bloodlust. Jeanne Arc, Beacon’s ray of sunshine and warmth, appeared before them, her body enveloped in an uncontrollable aura of rage. Her usually shining white armour was a dark grey with blood red trimmings as her hair had turned from its usual golden lustre, to a bone white colours as her now red eyes stared them down with a killing intent.

NPR: Aaahhhh?!!

(Music~!)

Jeanne: Hello everyone~!

Nora: Oh shit! Why, why did you do this to us, Pyrros?!

Pyrros: Okay, this isn’t all my fault! You two joined me too!

Ren: Why did we accidentally eat the cake, Jeanne’s mom sent her?!

Jeanne: A very special cake… one that my mother rarely makes because it takes so long to bake… And you ate all of it?!

Pyrros: W-W-Were sorry!

Nora: Please spare us!

Ren: W-We can get you a new cake, how does that sound?!

Jeanne: Do you seriously think that some cheap store bought cake can replace the one my mother made, with tender love, and care, that she made specifically for me…?

Nora: Yes…?

Jeanne: No… You shall all suffer for the crimes you have committed…

Nora: Oh, shit?! Oh shit! Oh shit!!!

Glynda: Wha…?! What is going on here?!

Pyrros: Ms. Goodwitch!

Nora: We’re saved?!

Glynda: Ms. Arc, what is going on?!

Jeanne: They ate my cake…

Glynda: Cake, what cake?

Jeanne: Mom’s special cake… They ate all of it… They didn’t leave me a single crumb…

Glynda: Juniper’s special cake…?

Jeanne: Yes…

Glynda: By chance… Was I going to get a slice…?

Jeanne: I was going to share it with you, team rwby, and the rest of my team, and they ate all of it?!!

Glynda: I see… Did the three of you aplogize to, Ms. Arc for eating her mothers special cake?

Nora: Y-Y-Yes, we apologized! We’d apologized allot?!

Ren: We’re sorry we didn’t know!

Pyrros: Please don’t hurt us!

Glynda: See, it’s alright, Jeanne. Afterall,they apologized. Thank you~!

(Music Intensifies!)

Glynda: NOW DIE~!!!

Because I am both suffering and projecting... Weiss gets migraines.

She overworks herself and gets very stressed out and despite her temper she bottles it upside.

A Schnee can't show weakness afterall.

But Weiss is human, and one day while working on an essay for Ooblecks class after another night of not much sleep the migraine hits.

And migraines are a bitch and a half at best but this one was quite possibly worse than usual and so when team Rwby find her curled up on their dorm floor....

Yeah Ruby ran over thinking Weiss was dieing and Weiss's lack of an retort only freaked her out more.

Luckily Yang was there to tuck Weiss into her bed while Blake rummaged through Weiss's bag for her medication. Other than Klein, Weiss never really had people to look after when she was unwell.

So this was kinda nice all things considered.

"We're gonna talk about this later you know"

"... I know"

"How are you feeling?"

"Like I'm being run over, but specifically on my head"

"Creative"

"Shut up Yang"

They also his her exam and work stuff so she would actually rest.

Those fiends.

You know its funny, after The Lost Fable, I was so sure that Blake would be the most understanding of Oz. Afterall, both of them had a partner they once loved who turned out to become terrible people and make it their mission to destroy everything they love. In fact, Salem and Oz is basically Adam and Blake if they were immortal. But alas, they had to make RWBY and co uniform in their reactions.

Both Blake and Ozpin watched systems they were a part of become twisted in ways they could no longer support. Both watched their loved ones’ destruction and suffered abuse at their hands. Both managed to escape that situation and are still grappling with the ripple effects of that. Both have kept core parts of their identity a secret from their friends and allies, except where Ozpin had the power to let Blake reveal that secret on her own terms, Blake was a part of the group that forcibly tore Ozpin’s secrets from him. 

Obviously there are key differences between their situations  — Ozpin choosing to rule Remnant with Salem vs. Blake being born into a civil rights movement, Blake being a teenager who has dealt with Adam for a few years vs. Ozpin suffering Salem’s abuse for generations, the complicated questions of who holds power in each situation and how much damage each secret can do  — but the emotional core is the same. For anyone who doesn’t remember or who wasn’t here at the time, Volume 6 was the tipping point. After the snow scene, everyone who wasn’t cheering for the group to hurt Ozpin more was latching onto the belief that they just needed time to get past their anger. The assumption was that each character’s individual experiences would shed light on Ozpin’s situation and re-contextualize their treatment of him  — just give them a moment to be angry! They deserve it! But then they’ll make up with him!  — and Blake, as another abuse survivor, was a key part of that. Of course, this never came. The group ignored Ozpin until the airship crash, when he was accused of spying. Then they ignored him until Ironwood, when how they treated him became a part of their lie. Then they ignored him until he came back, when Oscar says plainly that he wish he never had. The only reason Ozpin is involved in the story now, two years later, is because the situation is so insanely bad that Oscar can’t afford to ignore him anymore. But not a single character has looked back at that moment and considered that maybe, just maybe, they can understand something about his situation: about abuse, fighting what feels like an impossible battle, being overwhelmed by leadership, not trusting your allies, telling lies to keep yourself safe, etc. 

Which, even taking away my own personal interest in Ozpin as a character, is a problem with RWBY’s writing that now infuses every significant scene. No one acts like themselves. No one responds to situations in a way that makes sense for their character. Why would Ruby wait 17 years to ask how her mom died, or ignore a super powerful eye ability when she’s desperate to keep everyone safe? Why wouldn’t Yang be interested in the man who had her arm custom made for her, now that she’s in a place where she can accept it? Why wouldn’t Nora and Ren have something to say about Jaune slamming Oscar into a wall, having watched him get bullied by a larger, more powerful fighter during their whole year at Beacon? Why wouldn’t Weiss try to talk to Blake and Yang about killing Adam when the White Fang and abuse of faunus workers is a huge part of her history? Why wouldn’t Ruby react emotionally to a friend she saw murdered suddenly showing up in the street? 

Why wouldn’t Blake have thoughts about Ozpin being an abuse survivor whose secrets are ripped from him when she can easily imagine a scenario where that happened to her? 

The characters aren’t characters anymore, they’re not individuals, they’re cardboard cutouts who move from one plot point to the next, saying generically Nice Things to one another  — Blake says she looks up to Ruby, Nora reminds Penny she’s a person — that are, in the end, both meaningless and capable of coming from any other character. You could take any emotional scene we’ve gotten lately, replace one character with another, and absolutely nothing would change. Yang could tell Ruby she looks up to her despite being the little sister. Nora could tell Ruby she looks up to her despite being younger. Blake could tell Penny she has a soul. Ren could tell Penny she’s a person. It doesn’t matter! It’s entirely generic. The only time recently where I felt like a character was acting both as an individual and as a result of that individuality  — Ren calling out the group  — is also the one thing that’s currently getting swept under the rug for more messages of, ‘There are no sides, we’re a unified team, we believe the same things, want the same things, interpret everything the same way and it’s that same-ness that’s supposedly going to save the world.’

[autumn-foxfire]

In terms of RWBY’s disability rep, I think the big problem is that there’s so much ableism ingrained into society that it’s kind of hard for disabled people to just relax and enjoy disabled characters, especially when they’re written by able bodied writers.

I’m not sure how much this makes sense, but in my experience at least, it’s very hard to tune out the vast amount of characters who have turned into something unknowingly ableist, or how much of my almost invisible slice of the pie have been violently killed because they were what I am. It means that whenever the plot moves towards any of those things I immediately go ‘I know what this is’, and feel hurt in a way it’s very hard to stop.

I think that the problem at that, where the story is right now, the narrative weigh of the disabled characters feels like it’s coming down much more heavily on the villain side of the scales. Especially with the fact that there have been tropes in the story that, while not intentionally ableist, are part of the systematic oppression that’s so ingrained into everything (like loss of limb representing losing part of humanity). It’s unsettling and I can get why other people feel the way they do right now. When the narrative scales balance up a bit more, people will be able to relax a bit more and breath a bit easier.

Personally I’m waiting for the show to end before I make my judgement. When I can look at the disabled characters as a whole and where they ended up, then It’ll be easier to know (i.e how much of my slice of pie survived and what were the stories of the ones who did). For now I feel seen enough in Neo and Merc that I’ll stick around as long as they do.

Yeah, I didn't reblog the post about disabled characters because I believe RWBY hasn't used harmful tropes that hurt disabled people, it has and these moments need to be acknowledged in order for writers to learn how to be able to write better representation.

We should be able to have a discussion about the use of Ironwood and his disabilities and how they're portrayed to have affected him (a trope that, while the original post mentioned has existed for longer than RWBY has, doesn't excuse the use of it here) without acting like RWBY as a show is completely ableist against disabilities.

We do have a mixed cast with disabilities, both heroes and villains, and I don't think we should limit which role people should play. RWBY has villains that are disabled, yes, but they aren't villains because of their disabilities, it's just a part of them. The same way the disabilities are apart of the heroes.

I want to be patient with RWBY. I don't think Mercury or Neo are going to always be on the side of the villains, RWBY afterall is about humanity coming together (which is why Salem is trying to tear it apart), it would be tone deaf of the show not to allow that to apply to the villains too, especially when their stories are far from complete.

However I completely understand where you're coming from and I definitely understand why you would be wary. Representation in media can be handled very poorly and as you said, as the story is written by able-bodied people, they have to be extra vigilant in order to avoid falling into ableist tropes.

Personally, I think that's why they created Ironwood's semblence the way they did, to move him away from losing humanity the more he lost his "human" parts but it ended up backfiring when people felt it was ableist against the mentally ill. Ironwood is a difficult character to discuss.

Firen Lhain:  Chapter 807:  Streak:  Part II / III

"I grew up with you, Yang." Ruby said to her, "I know how many boyfriends and girlfriends you've had. I might not be very good at flirting, but it seems like you can't turn it off."

"I don't..." Yang tried to say, but quickly trailed off.

"Who here haven't you flirted with?" Ruby asked.

"We are like all married." Yang shyly voiced.

"And I suppose it was you who brought us all together. I certainly had no idea what to do, but thanks to you I get Jaune And Weiss AND Blake., and, and..."

"You don't have to..." Yang tried to say.

"THANK YOU!" Ruby shouted. "Without you, I-I-I-I... have NO idea what I would have done. You. YOU! are the one that brought us all together. We were all still fighting over Jaune, and each other. Who knows what would have happened if you didn't save us from ourselves!"

"But what does that have to?.." Yang asked.

"You're the one who brought us together!" Ruby shouted, "But you're the one trying to pull us apart. Can't you just be happy for us, Yang? We all know Jaune isn't going to cheat. But you, the only one here with more than one, before, you know, I mean?.." Ruby asked.

"Alright!" Yang shouted, and stood up, "I'm the one most likely to step out, and that's why I'm counting on ALL of you to keep me in line."

"I thought that was Jaune's job?" Ruby asked.

"He'll probably be the one to give me a spanking, but my co-uh-wives, are the ones that need to tell him about it."

"Are you telling me to snitch?" Ruby asked.

"Yeah." Yang said, and nodded.

"Okay, I guess," Ruby voiced, "it IS to Jaune, so I guess I can."

"Thank you, Sis." Yang said, walked over to Ruby and pulled her into a powerful hug. "I'll lay off, sis. Just, you know, keep me safe."

"You too, sis." Ruby replied.

"You, sure you're alright with Aurora, you know?" Yang asked.

The two stepped apart. "I suppose it is, I don't know, rational, or efficient, or whatever to have her live in the closet, and she seems to WANT to live in the closet, and Jaune thinks it's a good idea, and... and I?.. I really don't know. If any of us have a problem, we have to say so, but we can't just go around looking for problems. This is our marriage, afterall. We're all in it, together."

"We're all in RWBY together." Yang said with a smirk.

"But what about Jaune?" Ruby asked.

"He's in us all the time, every night. Except last night, but that's the exeption. I hope."

* * *

Jaune and RWB_ sat on the couches in their suite's antechambre. Yang paced in front of them. She stopped, looking between them. "I just want to apologize for being a bit of a heel for this Aurora-moving-into-our-closet thing."

"I don't know what you're apologizing for?" Jaune asked.

"Being a heel?" Yang asked, "I've been a bitch, you know, attacking everyone?"

"I think it's a serious concern." he stated. "As fun as it might sound, I have no intension of sleeping with anyone else. But that doesn't mean you're wrong to worry about it."

"Even if she, like?," Yang asked, "tried to give you a blowjob?"

"I doubt she would." Jaune stated, and then looked at Weiss, "Unless my Snow Angel told her to, or something."

"Which I have no intension of doing." Weiss stated.

"But what if she did?" Yang asked.

"I would be extremely surprised," Jaune replied, "and probably not know how to react."

"I would have taken leave of my senses." Weiss quipped.

"So?" Yang asked, "I'm just being an ordinary broken girl?"

Jaune pointed at his lap, and Yang looked about nervously. He emphatically pointed and she slowly moved towards him. She looked him in the eyes, but so no clemency there, and so bent over his lap. He pulled down her shorts and panties and started slapping her ass. "You're - not - broken." he said as she slapped her ass. He then pulled her back to her feet before pulling her down to kiss her on the lips. "You are my wife, and I love you. I would not be who I am today without you. There's nothing wrong with being a little jealous, but I have to assure you, you are well worth loving."

"Even more than Ruby?"

"Yang!" Ruby shouted, and Jaune glowered at her. She sighed and leaned back over his legs.

"I am almost certain she is doing this on purpose." Weiss stated.

"Before you spank me," Yang stated, "promise me one thing?"

"Hm?" he asked.

"If I run away, you'll come and get me, and spank me 10 times more?"

"That I can promise." Jaune stated. He then pulled her down beside him, wrapped his arm around her, and pulled her in for a kiss.

"I've got a question?" Ruby asked. Weiss and Blake quickly looked at her. Jaune and Yang looked over when they could finally break each other's gaze. "Alright, if Aurora is Weiss', um, minion?"

"I suppose?" Weiss asked.

"Does that make Ilia, Blake's minion?" Ruby asked.

"We could look at it like that, yeah." Blake stated.

"Does that mean we should let Ilia move in as well?" Ruby asked.

"She raises a valid point." Weiss stated, seemingly lost in thought.

"She, what?" Yang asked.

"Is it weird that I'm starting to understand her logic?" Blake asked.

"Do we really want another girl," Yang asked, "watching us, you know?"

"Implying she has not already?" Blake asked, and Yang started looking around nervously.

"Ilia?" Yang asked, as she turned her head to look around. "Naked butt?"

No one heard anything. "Relax." Blake said, and Yang glared at her, "I saw her spying on Cinder."

"I really don't know what to think about this, so let's vote." Jaune said, "On the assumption she wants to, who's okay with Ilia moving in here? I don't know if she'll be sharing with Aurora or sleeping somewhere else, but in general?"

"Jaune-dear?" Weiss asked, "Perhaps I could clarify?" Jaune sighed and nodded. "Are we comfortable with Ilia moving into the Master Suite, sleeping location yet to be determined, and if she wishes to do so?" Weiss raised her hand. Yang looked over to see Blake's hand already raised. She looked at Ruby who was completely lost. She saw movement and looked over to Jaune, seeing his hand raised.

"Wait, what?" Yang asked, and Jaune shrugged.

"Ilia stalking me has literally saved my life." he simply replied.

"That is a perfectly valid point." Weiss affirmed.

"I... guess..." Yang grumbled. "I mean, yeah, her stalking Jaune HAS been really helpful and all. And she is like nekkid all the time, and Jaune often lets her use our fantabulous bathroom to warm herself after her running around all naked." Yang then hung her head. "Shit, the only thing stopping her from being a sex slave is Jaune."

"And the fact she likes Blake." Ruby interjected.

Yang looked at her questioningly, "Aurora loves Weiss, and told us it wouldn't stop her."

"Would she?" Ruby asked.

Blake sighed, and everyone looked at her.

"Seriously?" Yang asked.

"Not yet." Blake said.

"I really don't like how you said that." Yang said with a scowl.

"I do believe we are forgetting something." Weiss said, and all eyes were on her. She left a dramatic pause before continuing. "That he would not, nor would we accept it if he did."

Blake stood up and walked over to Yang. Yang stood still as she sashayed up, stood beside her, and wrapped her arms around her. "We're a family and a team." Blake warmly stated. "We're not doing anything the others are not comfortable with."

"But, you said?.." Yang asked.

"I know what I said." Blake said with a cheshire grin.

"What did she say?" Ruby asked.

Blake still stared at them with a wide grin. "You'll find out."

"How mysterious." Weiss said, "And vexing." she said with a crossed look.

"Very Blakey." Ruby said with a confused look.

"Blakey?" Weiss asked. "I suppose I can be Weissy, which, if I am correct, or perturbing protection?" Ruby just looked at her with a confused look.

"She nags because she cares." Jaune said.

"Indeed." Weiss affirmed. "Thank you, Jaune-dear. Then, by the same logic, Blake's veiled, vaunted, vexatious, venerated glory."

"I like it." Blake said with glee.

"Contrary?" Jaune asked.

"Yes?" she said with glee.

"Come here." Jaune said to her, and she rushed over.

"Hey!" Yang complained.

"Wanted to pet my kitty-cat." Jaune said, as Blake laid her head in his lap as he pet her head and ears.

"I thought she hated this?" Ruby asked.

"You promised to not do it in front of my parents." Blake simply stated.

"We did." Weiss affirmed.

"Okaaay..." Ruby voiced. "Are we done here? Oh, wait, who's going to ask Ilia?"

"Yang." Jaune said.

"If I might ask, why, Jaune-dear?" Weiss asked him.

"Because she'll try to be nice." Jaune said, "I don't want Ilia to think it's an expectation."

"Why's that?" Ruby asked.

"Hm?" Jaune asked, "Ilia has a bit of a problem following orders."

"I don't know?" Yang asked, "She seems too good at it." Followed as a pause until it dawned on her, "Oh, I got." she said, dropping the left fist like a hammer into her right palm.

"Got what?" Ruby asked.

"Ilia is TOO good at following orders." Weiss said with a wide smile.

"Alright." Yang said, "I'm on it. I'll try to not to be too happy about it."

Jaune blew her a kiss, causing Yang to flush orange. She shook her head and ran away.

Ruby nervously shuffled towards Weiss a foot at a time. Weiss turned to her with a crossed look, causing Ruby to stop. Weiss then lept forward to pull her in for a hug and a kiss.

The airship decended into the glade, hovering a few feet over the ground. Ciel robotically jumped out and landed on the ground, Penthesilea coming out a moment later.

"Are we certain about this?" Ciel asked, and a great, bellowing shout could be heard from the woods.

"You brought a Human into my woods?"

"Ciel Soleil!" Ciel replied.

"I am Penthesilea." Penthesilea stated, and stepped forward. The darkened wood seems to take the shape of a great, black hart.

"You are curious?" the Black Hart said to her. "Why are you in my woods?!"

"I am here to aid my friends." Penthesilea eagerly stated.

"And they are?" the Black Hart asked.

"Friend-Ruby, Friend-Weiss, Friend-Blake, Friend-Yang, Friend-Nora, Friend-Ren, and last but not least Friend-Jaune."

"My Earl?" the Black Hart asked.

"Indeed, Your Majesty." Penthesilea replied and curtsied.

"Have you brought tribute?" the Black Hart asked.

"I am here to aid my friends, so my service is tribute, Your Majesty."

"Very well." the Black Hart stated. He then looked to Ciel, "And the Human?"

"I am here to aid Penthesilea, your, um, majesty?" she asked, and stood to attention to salute.

"And your tribute?" the Black Hart demanded.

"My service to Penthesilea, who serves the Earl." Ciel stated.

"Then you pledge yourself to service to my Earl?" the Black Hart stated.

"So long as Penthesilea remains as well!" Ciel stated.

The Black Hart grumbled for a few moments. "Very well." he said, before vanishing back into the woods.

"Do you realize what you have done?" Penthesilea asked her.

"I have pledged myself to a feudal lord's service for an unlimited duration." Ciel robotically stated, "Perhaps not the wisest choice of actions."

"I'm sure Friend-Jaune would release you from your oath?" Penthesilea asked.

"He might, but I take my promises seriously." Ciel said and turned to Penthesilea. "As of this moment, I am his vassal, so long as he will take me."
