Late to the Ep.4 Party - Possible Spoilers

Duuude, you're pretty late to the party, huh? You should really keep track of that release schedule you know?

I'm glad to be out again though, thanks for that. First things first though, are you going to get working on those new icons? Because my new outfit is badass.

Anyway, glad you like my semblance. Stop geeking out about "kinetic energy absorption theories" or whatever. And yes, our formation codenames are awesome, thank you for noticing.

All I need now is more play time! Get on that please, thank you.

Better late than never, sis. And I'm glad you thought my ideas for the codenames were good.

[Though she will be lightly punching Yang in the arm.]

Just... don't make a habit of pulling stunts like that, okay?

Yang Xiao Long doesn't do late, little sis. Unless it's fashionably late. Hey, you do tend to have some pretty good ideas now and then, I'll give you that.

[ Have a patented Yang grin, Ruby. ]

No promises. You know how I love a good fight.

Whatever you say, sis.

[She grins for a bit, but that grin doesn't last after that remark.]

Yang... I know you get stronger when you get hit... but... that doesn't mean you aren't hurt.

[Worried little sister mode GO!]

That's exactly right.

[ You know your sister, Ruby. If there's one thing she doesn't talk about it's her weaknesses. ]

I'm fit as a fiddle. Come on, we beat Torchwick didn't we? He ran off with his tail between his legs. Again. Can't we just enjoy it for now until we need to go kick his butt again?

Yeah, but how much damage did you have to take to hit that hard!? You could have died! Just... please... promise me it'll only be a last resort...

Okay okay. I promise! Man, someone's been hanging out with mom too much. [ Here, have a loving noogie, little sis. ]

[For once, she's just going to lean into the noogie.]

Yeah... I guess so. Just... don't scare me like that again.

[ Have a rare moment of quiet and a kiss to the top of your head, Ruby. Yang knows she scared you. ]

Okay little sis. I'll be more careful alright? Besides, with you calling out strategies we're unbeatable.

[She nods, forcing a weak smile.]

Yeah... thanks, sis.

Hey, cheer up. We're all fine. We beat that sad sack, and Professor Ozpin hasn't even punished us yet. We're on top of the world right now.

[She actually goes pale for a second.]

...OH OUM, Ozpin is going to be so mad... and not to mention Uncle Qrow is going to find out, and tell DAD...

[Frantic babbling engage!]

... We're so dead. When mom finds out she's going to come down to Beacon and rip our heads off.

Ruby! What did we dooooooo?!

[ Welp. Sister freak out time is go. ]

M-Maybe we could get Weiss' family to hide us!

[Waaaaaaaaay ahead of ya, Yang.]

I think Weiss would make sure mom found us. It'd be like one of her new jokes.

[ See what you've done, Ruby? ]

W-what about Blake!? Maybe she knows a guy?

[Shut up, Weiss' joke was actually kinda funny.]

You know what, I bet that Sun guy she hangs out with would know a good place to hide.

[ Timing. That's like rule one of jokes, little sister. ]

YES! SUN! He can smuggle us to Vacuo! Start packing!

[You're just jelly she thought of it first.]

Nothing you can't leave behind in ten seconds! Let's go right now!

[ She was kinda busy being punched by giant robots to think of jokes, to be fair. ]

[And in ten seconds, she has EVERYTHING SHE OWNS, packed up and running at full tilt.]

[Yeah yeah, whatever you say, sis.]

This has probably been said before, but I just want it on the record:

You guys? Are nuts.

[ it's a compliment! ... probably ]

Hey, go big or go home right?

[ Yang wouldn't have taken it as anything else, really. ]

Well from the sound of things you guys went huge. Sun and I...

Well, uh.

We didn't go home, at least?

Oh I know where you went.

[ Have a pretty hard punch in the shoulder. ]

That's for not bringing anything back to share. Not cool, dude.

[ He laughs nervously, only taking a moment to ~~whimper~~ mutter an "ow!" under his breath as he rubs his shoulder where she whacked him. What were her fists made of, bricks?! ]

It's not like I have any idea what your tastes are, you know!

[ Her fists are made of badassness and flames, thank you for noticing. ]

Well whose fault is that, Mr. Smooth?

[ Oh yeah. She noticed. ]

[ On one hand she ~~scares~~ intimidates the hell out of him.

On the other hand that's kind of awesome.

On a third hand (???) they're not in the middle of a top-secret espionage mission anymore so there's no reason to try to be serious, so-- ]

If I'm smooth, does that make you the rough one?

[ on a fourth hand unexplained by science, he'll flirt with just about any cute girl if he has an opening ]

[ Well that's kind of what happens if you hang out with Yang a lot. She's a lot larger than life after all. Most people get used to it.

She is, isn't she?

Why is there a reason to be serious even if they were? ]

Well I do love a good fight. [ Grin.

Her heart ~~is reserved for a certain black haired, cat-eared faunus~~ isn't so easily won, Neptune. ]

[ Haha-- oh. A "good fight".

That's... uh. Well. He doesn't have a death wish so. ]

So I hear. [ you punched a robot to pieces ]

That's cool, though. Seems like you're good at finding a good fight, too.

[ ~~sun isn't gonna be happy about that~~ ]

[ Hey now, it isn't like she's beaten up every guy she's ever met just for a little flirting. Maybe like two thirds of them. ]

Huh. I guess my reputation precedes me. [ It was awesome, and to think you missed it for noodles. ]

Dad used to call me a trouble magnet.

[ ~~What he doesn't know, right? ]~~

[ That is a 66.66% chance of being beaten up. As an intellectual, those are not favorable odds. ]

You walked into a club and had over a dozen guns pointed in your face.

So.

I think your dad's onto something.

[ ~~neptune can't let you do that HE'S GOTTA LOOK OUT FOR HIS BRO~~ ]

[ Yeah, but since you're kinda cute that can work in your favour and down the odds by at least half. ]

Hey, it's not my fault people are so uncooperative. Sometimes they just need a good smack in the head. They're the immature one who hold a grudge.

[ ~~Well he's welcome to duel her for their fair maiden's hand.~~ ]

[ Oh! Down to 33.33, then. That's better! Not... great, given what the risk is, but. Better. ]

At least that Junior dude talked them down...

[ and at least there were the twins to give him some eye candy.

not that they gave a single crap about HIM, but.

nice to look at. ]

You know most people go to clubs to dance, right?

[ Hey it isn't like she's gonna kill you. A certain niche of people would pay goot money to have a beautiful young woman beat them up, you know? ]

Yeah, Junior's a sweetheart once you train him properly.

[ If she knew what he was thinking she'd seriously start to doubt his taste in women. Just....no dude. ]

I dance! That was work, okay? Maybe I'll ask Junior if we can get the VIP at his club sometime. Hehehe.

[ That's... true... but if Neptune can keep his face and his wallet intact that would probably be ideal. Probably. ]

I'm not even gonna ask what you mean by that.

[ Hey, nice to LOOK at. Just looking! Not saying anything about their personalities! ]

Well seeing as how you've got him [ air quotes ] "trained" so well, I'm not sure he'd be eager to say no to anything you ask for.

[ Aw c'mon. Where's the fun in that? Live a little. ]

All I did was punch him through a window. Nothing too exotic.

[ He must say that to all the girls. ]

You know what, that's an awesome idea. We should take the gang out dancing once this Torchwick thing is wrapped up. Just to de-stress a little.

[ Sorry - he's not into the whole "beat me up and step on my face please" scene. Maybe try Jaune? He seems super submissive. ]

Oh, is that all? [ Skeptical stare is skeptical ]

You know, given that he had access to that giant robot and everything? I'm... not sure how soon it's gonna be before this is "wrapped up". Kind of seems like some pretty heavy stuff is going down.

[ Now you're just making her sound like some kind of weirdo. She's a lady, Neptune. ]

Okay and maybe I beat up all his guys and broke his weapon too. [ Wide grin. ] It was awesome.

Well, we made such a big scene the military and the Hunters and Huntresses aren't going to be able to just ignore it. Between them all I'm sure we'll figure it out soon enough.

It's a pretty useful semblance.

Though it would have been nice to get a head's up, I think. [ she'd been legitimately worried for those two seconds she didn't know ok... ]

Gotten me out of a few jams I'll admit. Not that I get into jams very often.

[ There's the Yang confidence. ]

I can't be telling you all my secrets now, can I? [ Have a wink, Blake. She's a big girl, she can look after herself. ]

[ yang, your whole life is one big jam.

but she'll just meet that wink with a mild roll of her eyes. ]

I'm not asking for all your secrets — just the ones that may actually help us in a fight. Being your partner, and all, I think those details may be pretty helpful.

[ How dare you. It isn't her fault trouble seems to be attracted to her.

That eyeroll is met with a wiiiiiide grin. ]

Well now you know, right? Besides, it's not like you've told me what your Semblance is, Ms. Belladonna.

[ blake has the grace to look a little embarrassed at that, but all she offers at first is a little shrug. ]

It's nothing as game-changing as yours, that's for sure.

[ Not that Yang minds. Throwing an arm around her friend's shoulders she just keeping grinning as she leans against her. ]

I'm sure you'll stop being all mysterious about it at some point, partner.
