words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

looking forward to your ~first day at school~?

Velvs:

of course

if it was ACTUALLY my first day

instead im just experiencing the most intense bout of deja vu

im not even like

nervous abt it?

im just already exhausted at the thought of another year of ughghghgh

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

you're the one who changed course B)

or do you regret it already

Velvs:

there was literally no price too steep to be free from the claws of academic racism!

i wouldve handed over my first and second and maybe also my third born

if thats what they wanted from me

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

okay but

what use would they have for three babies

is my question

Velvs:

? to suck the very life out of them so that vice chancellor ozpin has eternal youth or smthng?

idk?

listen

not the point

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

i'm just saying

Velvs:

ANYWAY

im free from the hell of faunus history and now im the hell of journalism

which probably wont be much better tbh

-side-eyes how the media treats faunus-

so yeah

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

you'll do great anyway cause

especially if you go into photojournalism you're gonna kick like

a pretty remarkable amount of ass

which brings me to ask

Velvs:

:O thanks coco!

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

can you come to the studio real quick today to check over my work?

i finished up with my prototype dress and i need a second pair of eyes

and by second pair of eyes i mean

a pair of eyes

that aren't hideously colourblind

Velvs:

how are u on a fashion design course despite not being able to see the colour red?

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

by being arrogantly confident

Velvs:

like holy shit

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

and utilising complete guesswork

it's fine

anyway can you come by or nah

cause also i wanted to know if you still wanna do photo for my portfolio y/n?

Velvs:

you got it

just two more years of fakeass confidence and uve got this in the bag ;D

You recently became friends.
Studies Creative Writing at Beacon University.

Velvet:

Thanks for accepting my friend request! :D

My friends would all probably tell you you've made a mistake since now you'll see all the garbage I post 24/7 LOL

Blake:

dw itll never be as bad as mine haha

everyone shares memes to mine

Velvet:

Nice! You'll probably be pleased to know I usually just sliiiiiide into people's DMs with my memes ;D

Blake:

is it usually at 3am

'oh man i hope it's not a dick pic- nope its pepe'

Velvet:

It's EXACTLY like that.

Blake:

good

oh u said u wanted to share timetables?

Velvet:

Yeah! Let me just go get a screenshot real fast.

Blake:

here u go

Velvet:

Thank you! Here's mine :)

Looks like we both have a lot of time to spare! :Oc

Blake:

the blessing of creative courses

Velvet:

#truth

So I figured when it gets to crunch time with exams and essays and such, we could meet up and do work together? I learned the hard way last year that stuff piles up REALLY quickly, lmao.

Blake:

oh man i can imagine

also it says on your page that you did modern faunus history last year? i know you said youre redoing this year but i didnt realise youd switched course too

Velvet:

Oh, yeah!

Modern Faunus History was sort of my jam when I was applying, but when I got to class… I didn't really realise how many in the class would be, uh, humans?

Or how many thought they knew the history better than the actual books.

In short, you could smell the racism from three corridors away, so I jumped ship.

Blake:

gross

the racism i mean

not the ship jumping

if it

sounded that way

Velvet:

Nah, I got you. B)

But yeah I changed over to journalism since that was my secondary choice anyway.

I'm big on photography and I'd like to work in those little indie magazines who write about Faunus movements and all that?

Real talk it'll give my parents a conniption just thinking about me going into the 'Danger Zone' for photos but y'knowwwwww.

Blake:

i feel that

i was gonna do uh

social policy or something

but then i realised i kinda wanted to spend my time doing saomthing i was really passionate about and well

now im doing creative writing lol

*something

Velvet:

That's so cool though!

And I mean if all else fails

Write about social policy? -SHRUG EMOJI-

Blake:

beat the systemmmm

Velvet:

Oh, I gotta pick up my laundry!

Talk to you later?

Blake:

yeah

see you :)

Velvs:

coco say you wanna talk to someone and like

you just CANT THINK

OF ANYTHING TO SAY

wyd

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

by chance is this about blake

Velvs:

by chance it is any of your bees knees who tf it is hELP ME

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

it's blake

what i would do iiiiiis

Velvs:

fuck the u

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

have you invited them to faunus soc yet?

Velvs:

noooooo

not yet…

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy not

Velvs:

well firstly i like

oh man this sounds SO INSECURE!

but basically weve known each other for like

five days?

we were properly introduced YESTERDAY

and i dont wanna come across like

cause blake is a belladonna and thus is a Big Deal and i dont wanna make it sound like

'ur the future chieftain of menagerie home of the faunus ergo: you should jin faunus soc!'

*join

and i know its not what ill mean but im Scared

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

firstly: you're overthinking this tbh

and secondly: you've said it yourself that faun soc is for just chilling w/ other faunus and like

i'm sure they'll understand that you wanna offer a place

in a society that they'll be welcomed in?

and i mean if they're from menag like you say

vale's probably really new to them

Velvs:

yeah they said something like that yesterday

we were talking about the maps that beacon gives the first years and how useful they are

and they said how easy it is to get turned around in vale where everything looks the same

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

seeeee?

at the very least they'll appreciate the thought

Velvs:

yeah maybe

okay well

imma try asking on monday after lecture?

#prayforbun

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

well you wanted to talk to them now, didn't you?

Hey!

So, I was thinking about if you might b

*might be interested in joining Beacon's Faunus society?

I became the social media manager last year and Faunus Soc is really cool place to chill out!

We don't do much we just sorta

It's like a community, y'know?

Anyway, you can join for free and I thought it might be a nice place to just meet up and do stuff!

We do talks and stuff too, it's pretty #hype.

So yeah, we can talk about it on Monday if you wanna know more or anything! :)

Velvs:

mmmmmmmmm coco

words can't hurt me these shades are gucci:

yeah?

Velvs:

i think ive made a Mistake?

[Author's Note]: So I love text logs. And diary entries. And any sort of stream-of-consciousness thing. They're my favourite thing to read and write! So The Frappuccino Logs is something that's super experimental that I've been picking away at over the past few weeks. It doesn't... have a plot except that Blake/Velvet/Weiss are endgame, but if you like reading the archives of losers trying to interact sensibly and failing miserably then boy do I have your Good Shit right here.

Also, in this I'm using the British University system because... I'm British and also at Uni rn. So if you're wondering what the heck modules are or why none of this makes sense, that would be why. :D
