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. ]

[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]

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 ]

[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?

[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.

[sizzles]

[ FOUR FOR YOU JAUNE-COCO YOU GO JAUNE-COCO

Behind Weiss's back, of course. ]

[sizzles]

[ HEY BUDDY WANNA TACO'BOUT IT ]

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

[thelittlestvalkyrie]

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

[multiglyphs]

[ SHE SAW THAT, YANG. TRAITOR! ]

[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.

[scraggly]

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

[scraggly]

I think Ms. Goodwitch would probably throw us if we got that started up again.

[ Not even kidding. Not even half kidding.

... Okay, enough whining though! He's a leader! Gotta show grace in defeat! ]

But, uh, good fight! Your whole team did great.

[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!

[multiglyphs]

Of course we did. [ THIS WAS NEVER A DOUBT...

oh but right. sportsmanship, and all that. ]

As did yours. It... [ god this hurts to say ] It was a pretty even match right up until the end.

[scraggly]

Pyrrha and Nora really did most of the work, I feel like... even Ren got overwhelmed back there.

[ Then again he was up against Yang, so. That's kind of understandable. ]

Guess I've we've still got a lot of work to do.

[multiglyphs]

[ this is where weiss' politeness kicks in, though it's probably not as effective given how obvious it is that she's keeping herself from agreeing by the slight purse of her lips... ]

Well that is what we're at Beacon for, is it not? We're all still learning. [ LOOK WHAT AN AWESOME PERSON SHE IS BEING... HER KARMA MUST BE RACKING UP JS. ]

[scraggly]

Yeah... hey, yeah, I guess you're right!

[ Spirits: lifted! Wow look at you go, Weiss, it's almost like you can make friends by being nice to people

who'da thunk it ]

Pretty sure we should try to stick to more conventional learning from now on, though. I'm gonna need to shower for days after this fiasco.

[multiglyphs]

[ she wrinkles her nose a bit. don't remind her jaune... that ketchup smell was still in her hair after the fifth bath. ]

I'm sure Miss Goodwitch will be pleased with that. I'm still surprised we didn't receive any punishment.

[scraggly]

Yeah, it's kind of weird... then again Headmaster Ozpin was okay with launching us into a forest full of monsters, so I guess when a student gets launched through the roof it's not a big deal.

[ Yang was up there a good while too... guess she had a lot of yangtime ]

[multiglyphs]

[ STAHP ]

Good point. And I suppose I shouldn't complain — any punishment would look terrible on my record.

[onecream_fivesugar]

That window had no idea what hit it.

[scraggly]

At least I hit something before the fight was through.
