*Jaune is seen playing on a laptop alone in his dorm room*
Jaune: Oh, c’mon, Neptune! That was an 80% shot you just missed!
*Pyrrha suddenly enters the room after finishing her morning workout*
Pyrrha: Hello, Jaune. Were you talking to Neptune just now?
Jaune: Oh, not really. I wasn’t actually talking to him. It’s just a game I’m playing.
Pyrrha: A game? Which one is it this time?
Jaune: You’re gonna love this one. The name is Xcom 2. It’s a turn-based strategy game where you play as the Commander of an entire resistance group against an Alien coalition that has taken over the planet.
Pyrrha: Sounds… Really cool? *Not really into games*
Jaune: You can check it out if you want.
*Pyrrha shrugs, climbing onto the bed next to her leader. At that moment, Jaune selects one of his units, a female soldier with a minigun, and fires a barrage against an enemy trooper*
Jaune: Pretty awesome, huh?
Pyrrha: Yeah, pretty… Wait, that soldier with the beret and sunglasses looks familiar.
Jaune: Oh yeah, that’s Coco. I made her into the game.
Pyrrha: You made her?
Jaune: The game comes with a character pool in which you can create your own custom soldiers. It’s a very nifty feature.
Pyrrha: I see… How much time did you spend on that, exactly?
Jaune: A whole awful lot. I’ll show you in just a sec.
*A mission and a result screen later, Jaune gives Pyrrha a tour of his base*
Jaune: So this is the Avenger. A stolen alien ship and the perfect hiding spot for our base. And these *Click* are my soldiers!
*Pyrrha’s eyes widen as she sees the names of each character Jaune has made*
Pyrrha: Awnn~ These are all of our friends! Jaune, this is so cute!
Jaune: Heheh yeah, I mean... *Clears throat* Like I said, pretty cool. They all have different classes and specialties too. Like Nora here. *Click* She’s a heavy-gunner just like Coco, but she’s mainly built for demolitions. In short, she has a lot of grenades.
Jaune: I also assigned Ren and Ruby as Sharpshooters. Only difference being that Ruby is the dedicated long-ranged sniper while Ren is the gunslinger.
Jaune: Blake on the other hand is a Ranger solely built for stealth, making her perfect for scouting ahead and striking when the aliens least expect.
Jaune: As for Weiss, I gave her the role of Specialist. She ensures all of our soldiers are alive on the field while providing technical support with some objectives.
Pyrrha: Awn, she even has a cute drone following her. As does Yang…?
Jaune: Yeah, I sorta forgot to assign Yang a specific class, so the game randomly promoted her into a Specialist too. She technically has the same role as Weiss, but I mostly use her to shock enemies. Also, overwatch spam. Those are pretty powerful.
Pyrrha: *Snorts* As long as it stays true to her character.
Jaune: OH! Before I forget. *Click* Say hi to you!
*Pyrrha watched mesmerized at the screen as Jaune showed her a seamlessly flawless recreation of her in-game. From her hairstyle, to her armor, even the exact same tiara*
Pyrrha: Wow… How did you…
Jaune: I stumbled upon a Pyrrha Nikos character pack not long ago. You’d be surprise what the modding community can cook up from time to time. Though now that I think about it, I guess it’s kinda creepy seeing something like that from your perspective…
Pyrrha: No, NO! I loved it! For realsies! I, uh… What does she, eh, I do?
Jaune: Well, unlike other classes, yours here is actually a “Hero” class. In this case, a Templar. Someone who can run headfirst into combat with nothing but a pair of blades and come out unscratched. Kinda like, eh… You.
Pyrrha: /// /// Jaune…
Jaune: And I do mean unscratched. You haven’t taken damage the entire campaign. The RNGods must be pleased with you.
Pyrrha: *Pretending to have understood that* Wow, Jaune. This is so- *Blinks* Wait… Where is your character?
Jaune: My… Character?
Pyrrha: Yeah, your- Oh, I get. Since you play as the Commander, that means you must be him, right?
Jaune: Oh, not at all. I actually made a character after myself in-game too.
Pyrrha: Really? Well, where is he?
Jaune: *Winces* How do I tell you this… He died at Gatecrasher. You know, the very first mission of the campaign.
Pyrrha: …What?
Jaune: It was a really dumb move of me. I left him out of cover, and he got zapped by a Sectoid.
Pyrrha: …
Jaune: It kinda sucks to lose a soldier that early on in the campaign, but it’s nothing to worry about. And he was still a recruit, so nothing of value was really lost-
Pyrrha: Restart it.
Jaune: Huh? Restart what? The previous mission?
Pyrrha: The campaign. Restart it.
Jaune: What? Pyrrha, I’m already 5 hours in, I can’t just-
Pyrrha: RIGHT! *Snatches Laptop* NOW!
Jaune: H-HEY! *Struggles to get it back* DON’T TOUCH MY SAVE FILE!
Pyrrha: AND BE SURE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT THIS TIME!
Jaune: PYRRHA, KNOCK IT OFF! IT WAS AN ACCEPTABLE LOSS!
Pyrrha: YOU ARE NOT AN ACCEPTABLE LOSS, GOSH-DARN IT!

I'm putting out a warning for the user @jenniferpss/jenniferpzsss for likely being a scam and likely being run by notorious scammer Laura Deramas for the following reasons & proof:
Their blog has only existed since December 16th 2023, which is when they started asking for money.
They claim they live in the U.S but are "European" and are recieving healthcare in the U.S, while also asking for donations in American dollars. We've seen this with various other scams like nevermindblog where they claimed to be European but had their paypal currency set to U.S dollars. It's also weird to me that a European would go to a country with one of the most expensive healthcare costs in the world when there's several other, closer, much less expensive options that are equal (if not higher) in quality to the U.S to recieve healthcare within Europe. (Proof of that below)
On the note of calling themselves "European", they never specify what their Nationality or ethnicity is. Of course not all Europeans are the same, but that's precisely it, a lot of Europeans don't just call themselves "European", they'll happily list where they're from, and say something like "I'm Breton from France", or "I'm German" or "I'm from England", not just "I'm European". This allegedly European user doesn't and hasn't ever listed their country of origin, so they're likely faking an ethnicity
They claim they want to recieve donations via PayPal and Facebook pay, but to use facebook pay you have to have an active facebook account, which they refuse to give to people.
Below they also claim fbpay & paypal is "the only way I can recieve donations" despite the fact that cashapp & venmo, two of the most popular money transfer apps in the U.S, are available to Americans with an American address. If theyve been living long enough in America to be well incorporated into the American healthcare system, including having American insurance, an American specialist doctor, and a homecare nurse that they say they have in their donation post, then why can they not just use venmo or cashapp, which is available to anyone with an American address, which if they're telling the truth, they would definitely have? I find it hard to believe that someone who's been living in America for a while doesn't know about venmo or cashapp when asking for donations.
They claim in their donation post that they want to be "truly as transparent and honest as possible!", but then when someone asked jenniferpss to clear up some allegations against them & to be transparent, instead of doing what they said they'd do, they redirected, said the person asking questions was "attacking" them, and then didn't answer ANY of the questions. This would be suspicious enough on its own, but we've also seen such behavior from Laura in previous scams where, instead of answering reasonable, legitimate questions people had, she victimized herself and claimed ANY questions were a personal "attack" on her, regardless of how nicely worded.
They started spam messaging/asking people to reblog their donation posts, including sending these messages specifically to people who say they don't reblog donation posts bc they received an ask to.
Suddenly changed their url after being asked to address their suspicious behavior, which is a common scammer tactic. (Used to be @jenniferpss, now changed to @/jenniferpzsss, which you can see the difference & dates in the above and below screenshots)
In one of their posts, they specifically tagged two previous victims of Laura Deramas asking them to reblog their post, but ONLY them. If they're truly new to tumblr then why specifically tag those two users? How did they know about those users when they previously never interacted with either of them? Why did they ONLY tag those two users? We know Laura would often re-target other people who had donated to her or that she'd manipulated in the past for her newer scams where she pretended to be someone else, so this is typical Laura behavior. Note that the replies on their donation post are also restricted, which is ALSO typical scammer behavior
