What? Another new story in the same day? o.O Lucky for you this one's less serious.
Disclaimer: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth otherwise Coco would be a friggin supermodel. Bálor belongs to me, however his appearances within will be sporadic.
Coco Adel would find herself strolling around the halls of Beacon Academy with a bored look on her face, though this was cleverly hidden behind her sunglasses and her confident stride.
"I can't believe that the Academy has us trapped in uniforms, I understand that we're representatives of the Kingdom of Vale but for crying out loud would it kill to let us have some color options? Different materials? Something?" Her thoughts would be interrupted as Beacon's resident wrestling nerd and the fly in her ointment that was the ideal of fashion passed her by.
"Bálor Moonlight, the little piss ant..how is HE the only one that gets to dodge the uniform rule on campus?" The fashion minded Huntress would skim over his ensemble with a disapproving clicking noise, this time he had decided upon wearing a cream colored shirt that promoted a pair of old-timey looking wrestlers that called themselves "The Vaudevillains." with the tagline: "We do things the olde fashioned way".
The wolf Faunus would stop and sigh, noting her disapproval and turning to face Coco with a skeptically raised eyebrow and a hand in his pocket.
"Alright Adel, let's hear it..how is my current apparel an affront to fashion this time?"
Coco would roll her eyes as she skimmed over his appearance more closely, aside from the tacky wrestling t-shirt she made note of his standard black denim jeans with a leather belt holding them up and even his new shoes which were now straight black but upon looking at the back end there was a red rose in the center surrounded by strange doodles of little wolves chasing cookies.
"Among the myriad of bad coloring and design decisions, I'm really incensed that YOU of all people get to skate the uniform and not get any flak. Seriously who are you paying off?" She would pause as she looked the silver haired young man up and down before he once again turned to face her once again.
"Oh dear Dust, don't tell me that you and Goodwitch have some sort of 'arrangement', I'm pretty sure she's at least twice your age there pal."
The two of them would share a shudder of disgust at the thought of Gylnda Goodwitch getting it on with any student, most of all him.
"Ugh, I..I just..no, I'd sooner kiss that bastard Cardin under the mistletoe in winter." Bálor would go pale and shake his head as he tried to avoid losing his lunch entirely before he would sigh once again. "To try and answer your FIRST question, the reason I get so much leeway is because I'm Ozpin's illegitimate bastard son." He would wink as he proceeded to continue his walk down the hall before making a beeline for the washroom with a hand over his mouth, leaving Coco to watch on with a satisfied smirk as the sounds of vomiting could be heard whenever the door was opened.
Out of all the teams in Beacon Academy's current crop (and there were quite a few) Team CFVY was positioned as one of the most respected.
Comprised of the fashion loving Coco Adel whose weapon was a gattling gun that was cleverly disguised as a designer handbag, she was the cool headed leader of the crew and had no problem keeping things in line. Including her partner (and on again, off again significant other.) Fox Alistair, who seemed to enjoy fighting his battles barehanded and had recently staked his claim on the newly single Yang Xiao Long which seemed to suit the blonde brawler fine as she had recently begun taking any and every opportunity to make her Faunus ex angry.
Not that it actually worked.
"Hey Coco, you been reading the news lately? Apparently there's some nut with a key-shaped sword and a dog running around Vale busting up petty crimes."
She would roll her eyes at his question, knowing better than to validate such an asinine story with a response.
"I don't think that such a duo would actually be able to move around the city without being noticed, I imagine that a Hunter with such an unusual weapon and a dog would stick out like a sore thumb." Velvet Scarlatina said as she was looking down at the book she was reading with apt interest, the bunny eared Faunus could often be seen hiding in the background of the team's battles but she could hold her own physically when it came down to it. "Besides, I doubt that such a duo would actually waste their time foiling street level criminals when there's real criminals running around out in Vale right now..if they exist that is." Fox would sigh indignantly and keep searching the net furiously in response to his Faunus teammate's doubts.
"You believe me don't you Yatsuhashi? I mean there's pictures of the guy everywhere on the DustNet for crying out loud, c'mon Yatsu man tell me you believe me!" The tall, silent heavy of Team CFVY would glare over at the red haired young man angrily. Coco couldn't say much about her large statured friend, but she knew that there were two things he absolutely despised: Anyone bothering his partner Velvet (He had to threaten Cardin Winchester twice before CRDL's infamous beatdowns at the hands of both Ruby Rose, and her wrestling addled sidekick Bálor the following day.) and being called Yatsu.
"Those pics are awful blurry Fox, those figures could be anybody or anything. Honestly, you really need to lay off the conspiracy theories and get some air." Coco would look over her partner's shoulder in an attempt to examine the photo's closely, in the good old days this would've led to Fox either putting his hand on her ass or stealing a kiss before winking back at her. However thanks to Yang Xiao Long being single and on a quest to rub it in her former beau's face, the dark-skinned boy's attention would firmly be focused upon the blonde brawler and it made her skin crawl.
"Geez Coco, honestly you used to at least entertain my crackpot theories." A mischievous grin would cross over Fox's face. "Could it be that you're jealous of my new boo?" The rest of the team would look to her for a response leaving the brown haired fashionista at a loss and her cheeks quickly rouging in embarrassment, however the sounds of a commotion outside would draw their attention away from her.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go see what that's all about," Coco would sigh quietly and step outside the CFVY dorm and breathe a sigh of relief before noticing a small circle of mostly male students at the far end of the hall, their was a lot of raucous whooping and hollering thus intriguing her further as she moved closer and eventually into the mob of rowdy tester one itself.
"C'mon baby, you know you miss all of THIS!" She would recognize the sound of Yang's voice with a groan and begin to try and make her way out of the mob, it was just another one of the blonde's lame attempts to get Bálor's attention and she had seen enough of them to know exactly how they'd play out: He would ignore her entirely, therefore causing the golden haired Huntress to lose her temper and throw a punch which he would dodge before walking off and leading her to hunt down Fox and commence in an annoyingly loud and sloppy makeout seesion in CFVY dorm.
"You're an embarrassing shell of who you used to be Yang, the girl I met six months ago wouldn't dare act this stupid over someone like me. I wish she were here so I could pay her to kick her own ass!" The wolf Faunus was clearly annoyed at this latest antic, as he had never so much as reacted to her in the past. Coco's curiosity piqued as she fought her way to the front of the mob just in time to see the silver-haired rebel go flying towards her with a hand to his cheek.
"I'm an embarrassment!? You spend everyday with my younger sister acting like a couple of old timey circus performers, Vaudevillains? What a joke?!" Yang's eyes would go from lilac to red as her anger built up quickly, her Howling Dragons covering her fists quickly as she readied a punch.
"At least Ruby gets the punch line, you never even bothered to try and understand any of it!" The amber eyed Faunus would clench his fists and glare at the blonde brawler with contempt, giving Coco her cue to exit and avoid having to sit through another of the Academy's crazy happenings.
"Honestly, I don't get how this place could go from a normal run of the mill training school to being turned so far on its ass because of one idiot!" She would growl as the floor beneath her shock from the force of their fistfight, clearly Yang wanted to prove something to that idiot and would pummel him just to do so.
"What does Fox see in her honestly? I mean yeah she's blonde, busty, and has a perverted attitude sometimes but so does every girl who's clearly trying to overcompensate for some deep-seated issue." Coco would stop to rub her temples in response to an oncoming headache, between Beacon's dismal uniform options, its resident bad apple, and the fact that her partner had his head stuffed so far into Xiao Long's cleavage that he shouldn't even be able to breathe even she wondered if she could survive the remainder of the year without completely going insane.
She had decided to avoid heading back to the dorm entirely once the rest of the school started buzzing about the outcome of the fight, the last thing the fashion savvy Coco wanted to deal with were the sounds of the victorious brawler trying to ram her tongue down Fox's throat. So instead Coco would find a nice shady tree to sit under and hash out some design ideas for her own spin on the uniform, the black suits were one thing as those could be styled and patterns could be added as students saw fit to do so but the real problem she had was with the skirts: Plaid was not the type of thing Coco Adel could stand, granted the woman was confident enough to wear anything and pull it off without too much trouble. But those plaid skirts had to go!
"The length is fine, and it adds up fine with the rest of what they make us wear. But I'm just not feeling this plaid at all, it's disgusting and outdated and I think we could definitely do better." She would sigh and set down her sketch pad tiredly as she watched the others go by as they talked and gossiped amongst themselves, sure they had been encouraged to customize their apparel as they saw fit such as Ruby Rose did with her red hood but she wanted more. More color, more patterns, more style, more freedom.
"I'm really starting to wonder if I'm just using this as an excuse to avoid dealing with Fox." Coco would stare down at her scroll and look through old photos of herself and her partner, they would always be grinning in them as they were often in the midst of doing something interesting. Sauntering down the promenade in Vale while scoping out the latest fashion trends that lined the boutique windows, or sitting in the arcade while Fox racked up a long list of victories on the old Street Fighter arcade machine, She wasn't much of a gamer herself but she enjoyed watching him destroy challenger after challenger without so much as breaking a sweat.
"Man those were good times, things made sense back then." She would put away her sketch pad and try not to let the memories get to her, the past was the past and things had changed vastly since then and she couldn't exactly blame it all on the new kid. The White Fang were ramping up their aggression, the Atleasian military had been called in as security for the upcoming Vytal Festival, and if Fox's latest conspiracy were to be believed then there was some Key wielding nut job and a dog running around the city trying to play crime fighter.
Trent Barretta said it best in the lyrics of "RPG Vice": Yes this is ridiculous. Coco's a bit one note on fashion and troubled over things with Fox and Yang but it's supposed to be ridiculous.
