on RWBY Volume 2's grand opening, spoilers probably inside

[scraggly]

I get my chance to show off how much I've improved... and instead I get slammed face-first into the nearest available window right off the bat.

[ He heaves out a long sigh. ]

Nailed it.





The window, I mean. I nailed it. With my body.

[ —? ]

You were there?

[scraggly]

Y-yes I was there! Sure, I was kind of getting ragdolled around, and all I really did was throw one watermelon, b-but I was there!

And I looked pretty cool before things got out of hand, if I do say so myself!

[multiglyphs]

I hope you at least hit something with that watermelon.

[ though she's more willing to bet you probably hurt yourself more than anyone else. ]

[scraggly]

Yeah, I... I don't think so.

But you were pretty cool! Or, you know. As cool as you can look when you're swinging around a huge fish.

... Hey, would that be Weiss fishing?

[ Where's Yang he deserves some recognition for that pun ]

[multiglyphs]

[ . . . ]

How fortunate there's no fruit left to throw.

[ you're killing her here, jaune. are painful jokes your semblance? it's pretty effective. ]

And of course I looked good — a true fighter never drops form even for a lack of proper equipment.

[soyoudonthaveto]

Cool as that was, that food fight was a waste of time and gave me PTSD flashbacks!
(Begins to recall Christopher Walken boss, and starts shaking.)
Make it stop.

[scraggly]

Uh, in my defense? I didn't start it. Heck, I didn't even finish it.

[soyoudonthaveto]

Oh, I was just getting flashbacks to that abomination of an animated feature. I blame Larry Kasanov and the internet more.

(And it is here that Critic realizes he has no idea what to say to Jaune Arc.)
...so, your girlfriend can definitely handle baguettes.
And is apparently a hair-dyed version of Magneto's daughter.
...wonder how the dinners will go?

[scraggly]

[ He has no idea what this guy is talking about - Larry who? Magnewhat? - but one thing manages to get his immediate attention. ]

G-girlfriend?!

[ of course that's what ]

No, no, that's not--

We're not--

[ Looking around frantically oh man she's not here to hear this right oh geeze ]

We're partners! And friends!

[enarmor]

[ pyrrha will just. stand here.

off to the side.







and wonder if he's referring to blake. ]

[sizzles]

[ HEY BUDDY WANNA TACO'BOUT IT ]

Come on, don't look so gloomy! You were a part of history in there!

[scraggly]

[ ARE YOU SURE I MEAN IT'S NACHO PROBLEM IT'S MINE ]

The part that had to get cleaned up off the wall, yeah.

OOC

[soyoudonthaveto]

GOD DAMNIT BARB YANG!

[thelittlestvalkyrie]

[ She throws a grin his way. ] Though the sound you made when you went BLAM on the window was pretty neato!

[scraggly]

Oh. Great. At least I contributed to the acoustics.

[thelittlestvalkyrie]

[ A playful punch to his arm that might be a little too hard ] Aww. Don't be such a glum bum. You'll have plenty of time to shine during this semester!

[scraggly]

[ At least he doesn't go crashing to the ground like he did when Pyrrha did it. Improvement!! ]

I know, I know. I guess I was just hoping for a better... grand re-entrance. Like you! You knocked Yang into the stratosphere!

[onecream_fivesugar]

That window had no idea what hit it.

[scraggly]

At least I hit something before the fight was through.

[onecream_fivesugar]

I'm amazed you hit it so hard and it still didn't break! That's talent right there.

[scraggly]

Or thick glass.

Really.

Thick.

Glass.

[descendsfromshadow]

Well...

you did last longer than you probably would have a year ago.

[She's helping.]

[scraggly]

[ It's not much

it's barely anything at all

but it's... something. ]

I got back up a couple times, at least! I can take a hit better than I used to, I guess. That's improvement, right?

Right?

[descendsfromshadow]

The rest of us have been training our whole lives for that sort of thing, so there's that too.

[Hmm... maybe not as helpful as she'd hoped to be. Maybe a different approach....]

And from what I've seen "getting back up" has never been something you'd had a problem with.

[scraggly]

[ Well... that depends on the kind of "getting back up" she's talking about. It sure took some doing to get back on his feet during that whole Caspin fiasco, but--

okay wait a second, now ]

You guys have been training for an all-out food fight for your entire lives?
