on the newest rwby, spoilers within

[wickhead]

[ Given everything that happened, Roman seems... surprisingly calm. Pleasantly so, even. ]

What, did you think I'd be upset over one measly Paladin? Heck, I hardly knew how to drive the damn thing. Those brats will get what's coming to 'em, don't you worry about that.

It's like I told you before, kid...

[ He takes a long drag from his cigar, breathing out a sigh. ]

Contingency plans. I've got 'em. Or did you forget about my newest buddy?

[alittlebitfiery]

Feel free to go get more Paladins and I'll just keep on knocking them down for you.

[wickhead]

Awfully cocky, aren't you?

[ he's one to talk really ]

Shame you can't be everywhere at once - if you could, perhaps I'd have a modicum of concern.

[alittlebitfiery]

...Yeah. [Yang can admit to that.]

Maybe I can't be everywhere but have you seen the kids I go to school with? There is plenty more where I came from.

[wickhead]

I'm sorry, it's just... are you blind?

Are all of you blind?

Every time you punks cause a snag in my operation you seem to bubble over with joy, but do you not see the bigger picture?

I take one step backwards, and ten steps forward. Every. Time.

[ He points his cigar at her, tapping the ashes out. ]

You're nothing but ants in front of a bulldozer, Firecracker.

[bodyshots]

[Imagine the rudest gesture one can manage, because that's what's happening right now.]

I got your contingency right here buddy.

[wickhead]

Oh, aren't you charming.

[ Can you feel the sarcasm? You can probably feel the sarcasm. ]

Honey, you should really scoot on home and let the grownups finish their business, okay? Someone's going to get hurt, otherwise, and I... oh, I don't think I could have that on my conscience.

[ruby_roses]

That's 3 for us, and 0 for you, right?

[alittlebitfiery]

You know, you sure talk big for somebody who always loses...

[wickhead]

My god it's like she literally didn't listen to a single word I said.

Maybe you should get a haircut, clearly you can't hear what I'm saying. You're winning tiny, insignificant battles in a much bigger war.

[wickhead]

Didn't I shoot you? It would really be polite of you to stay dead when that sort of thing happens.

[bodyshots]

I am when I wanna be- not that you'll ever see it in person.

[Yang cannot feel the haters.]

Puh-lease. Save the condescending crap for when us kids aren't handing you your butt every time we fight you, okay?

[ruby_roses]

If you were a better shot, maybe you'd have better luck. But your form is just so... sloppy.

[wickhead]

I think you'd be at your best in a body bag - which I'll make sure I see personally.

[ He rolls his eyes at her remarks, waving his cane dismissively. ]

Except you're not stopping anything, kid! Everything's blowing ahead at full speed - but by all means, gloat away! I'm just going to enjoy the look on your face that much more when this is all over with.

... Your face which, to bring this full-circle, will be with the rest of you in the aforementioned body bag.

[wickhead]

... I'm sorry, I'm sloppy? Rumor has it you literally exploded in front of the school.

[alittlebitfiery]

I'm listening, I just don't care.

I mean, that doesn't even make sense. If we win all the little battles, we still win.

[ruby_roses]

Hey, that was one time and Weiss was shaking a bottle of Dust in my face. I sneezed.

[wickhead]

But. You're. Not.

[ He taps his cane against the ground with each word, lips tightening in impatience. ]

You aren't involved in all of the battles, are you? If you were, then you'd be right, and perhaps I wouldn't have gotten nearly this far.

But I am.

I'm still ahead of the game.

Please tell me this is sinking in? I don't want to have to draw out diagrams.

[wickhead]

[ He wants to laugh at her misfortune, but really it's just horribly depressing that these little losers are the ones giving him a headache. ]

Do everyone a favor and sneeze a little harder next time.

[bodyshots]

Oooo, I'm shaking in my nice new boots.

The day a lowlife like you can beat me better be the day I die or I'm gonna make sure you suffer the consequences.

[alittlebitfiery]

[Hmm.]

No, I don't get it. You should probably draw some diagrams.

[What? It'll be funny to make him do that.]

[wickhead]

Don't worry - if it's death you're asking for, I'll be sure to deliver in spades.

[wickhead]

I'm not actually--

[ oh my god these children are insufferable ]

I'm really going to enjoy taking you out of the picture.

[alittlebitfiery]

Oh come on. You wanna prove you're right, don't you? Here's your chance!

[ruby_roses]

Even if I did, it wouldn't really... do much. It was just a little bit of ground up Dust. Not exactly dangerous.

[wickhead]

Why rush? What's the hurry? Sit back and watch, kid, you'll appreciate my handiwork soon enough. Maybe I'll even give you an autograph while you're still alive enough to appreciate it.
