Where in re:Bound – In Volume Three, Chapter Six, after Pyrrha just learned that she is the next Fall Maiden, everyone in the office gets in the elevator in order to see Amber in the vault. This conversation was supposed to take place in the elevator

Why It Was Cut – Ruby is more than a little OOC and the humorous tone just didn't work here.

TW – None


"Hm hm hm hm h-m hm hm hm hm, hm hm hm hm h-m-"

"-open up the door, I don't wanna hear your absolution, hope you're ready for a-"

"Ruby. Neo," Glynda snapped, clenching her crop in her fist. "Please."

Ruby grinned cheekily at her as Neo kept quietly humming. "It's elevator music, Miss Goodwitch. We can't have a proper elevator ride without elevator music, can we?"

"Ruby, there are nine people in this elevator going to visit a dying maiden, and you two are singing Casey Lee Williams," Blake said in exasperation. "Can you at least pretend like you're taking this seriously?"

"Personally, I do prefer It's My Turn, although Wings certainly does have charm," Ozpin mused, earning him a glare from Glynda.

"How on earth do you- You know what, of course you listen to that." Shaking her head, the deputy headmistress stared stoically ahead, muttering to herself about coffee and music.

"It's My Turn? When It Falls is way better, how can that possibly be your favorite song off of Volume Three?" Ruby exclaimed.

"Well, the build-up on It's My Turn is quite excellent," James mused, earning himself a death glare from Glynda.

"Rubes just won't admit she's a casual Casey fan," Qrow said, teasingly ruffling his hand through her hair.

"How am I a casual fan if I like what are undeniably her best songs?"

"Time to Say Goodbye is overplayed and everyone knows it," Neo's shimmery writing scrawled along the wall, and everyone nodded in agreement. "Plus, Ruby likes Let's Just Live and she refuses to admit it."

"Neo!" Ruby shrieked, giving her best betrayal eyes as Neo smirked and laughed at her.

"I like From Shadows?" Blake offered quietly.

"Dream Come True?"

Ruby snickered and poked Pyrrha. "That's just cause you and Jaune listen to ballads all the time," she said, getting a deep blush

Winter sighed and held her head high. "I suppose if we are admitting our favorites, I am quite partial to Caffeine..."

"You like Caffeine, Ice Queen?" Qrow snorted. "I would've pegged you for more of a Mirror Mirror girl."

Ruby and Blake looked at each other and burst out laughing. Ozpin gave them a questioning glance, and they chorused, "Weiss."

"I will have you know that rap originated in Atlas, bird," Winter snapped, unable to keep the hint of a smile from her lips. "Any proper Atlesian should be raised on a healthy mix of classical and rap rock."

"My men are quite partial to I Burn," Ironwood agreed.

"Am I the only one in this elevator who doesn't listen to emo music?!" Glynda exclaimed, at her wit's end.

Ozpin joined Neo in humming This Will Be The Day, smiling as the doors to the elevator slid open. "I am quite fond of Casey and Jeff, Glynda. They never came to this academy, but I can assure you they are lovely people. I think you'd find their music quite wonderful if you gave it a chance."
