Okay so this is probably the slowest building story on my page but I'll be damned if I stop writing it because I just enjoy RPGs too much to stop. If some of the terms I use confuse you if I don't explain it just remember I am a simple message away. I also keep my upload schedule on my page so keep an eye on that. I hope my editor isn't planning to tiger bench me. That would suck something fierce.

Chapter 2: Reunion of the gang

Ruby sat at her desk waiting for the second call to go through, she would be damned if she wouldn't live up to her agreement with Weiss, she would get every person of the old group back. The first call was the easiest, she had to convince Jaune to play a free game that had the possibility to give him a lot of money. Ruby also was able to get Jaune to convince Pyrrha and Velvet.

That left her Yang, Ren, and Nora. Which wasn't that hard to do, they did live in the same apartment. So one call would do, it's just Yang would see the bags that had developed under her eyes and turn into full over protective sister mode. Hence her current predicament, the battle that waged mentally, should she turn on the webcam. She would love to see her sister because Yang did move to Japan and the last time she saw her sister was three years ago.

"I swear Nora if I get a call from the police questioning us about a missing sloth, again, I'm going to poison your next meal." Ruby heard coming through the screen. She recognised the voice as her loveable sister. Ruby desperately wanted to know the back story to that. 'Knowing Nora, I can piece it together fairly easily.' Ruby thought as she heard a few obscenities thrown between Nora and Yang. Nora saying something about how it is a sloth's right to not be caged up for others to see, they deserve to be in their natural habitat. Yang meanwhile hated having to cover up for Nora.

"Sorry Ruby, Yang and Nora have been arguing like that for the last four hours. To what do we owe the joy of you calling us?" Ruby heard Ren's calm melodic voice coming through the other end. He had probably attempted to get Yang and Nora to calm down and failed. He probably only wanted them to stop for self-preservation and to prevent them from destroying everything.

"Well can you tell them to stop fighting? I really don't feel like repeating myself. If I have to I may just maim the nearest person and that just isn't me and then I would feel sad." Ruby commented hearing an almost immediate reaction of people jumping and Ren attempting to move and failing.

"Ruby will you turn on your webcam? I want to see my baby sis, it's been a long time since we last talked and even longer since we actually saw each other. We have so much to talk about and if you don't turn it on I will start to send Dad some ideas of what you and Weiss do behind closed doors," Yang yelled as she began to regain control over the volume of her voice while Ruby was left wondering as to what Yang meant.

"You mean nothing? What do you think we do?" She asked as she began to search the nearby box of wires and miscellaneous parts that go to her computers and various accessories. 'Why do I need so many VGA cables? Honestly I don't have anything that has a VGA port besides an old monitor.' Ruby thought throwing a bundle of wires that she wasn't going to need in the trash. She had been meaning to go through them but she just hadn't found the time she needed to do it, she always seemed to get distracted when she thought she had time.

"Oh come on drop the front, I know you and Weiss are dating. Come on Rubes... I'm only giving you a few more minutes." The second Ruby heard this she jumped and forgot the shelf above the box of wires, smacking her head hard against it and few stray books fell and hit her back.

"Ow! Yang we aren't like... Weiss did want us to be a couple but I just don't feel anything like that for her, Weiss would even testify to that. I already have my eyes on someone but they barely know I exist, but I shall eventually have them Yang." Ruby said plugging her webcam in and was rewarded hearing the signature sound of the USB being recognised. She quickly resumed her seat and noticed Yang having kicked Ren out of his seat and Nora jumping onto Ren's back and trying to steer him back to the computer so she can look at Ruby.

"Anyways, I need to go to sleep soon hence why I didn't want a webcam in the first place. I got some free copies to a huge game and Weiss and I want to get the old gang back. If everyone's skills develop fully we can do a tournament I heard from a good source the prize is ten mill." Ruby said rubbing her eyes, she really wanted to go back to sleep but she must live up to her side of the agreement.

"Who exactly is this source?" Yang asked sceptically. While that kind of money would be great she just didn't want to be misled by her sister's innocence. "The CEO of the company, he asked for me to play the game because it would increase traffic meaning they get more money. I simply asked for a free copy for you three, Weiss, Jaune, Pyrrha and Velvet." Ruby filled Yang in on her source of information.

"I'm game. I'm sure Nora is as well. Plus it would mean she has less time to break into zoos to steal sloths, as for Ren, I can't say what he will decide." Yang said as she dragged Ren back over with a bouncing ginger haired girl on his back.

"I'll play, it would be fun we haven't played together since our final year of college. This way I can also keep whatever money I have that Nora hasn't blown through with needing to pay her bail." Ren commented as Nora climbed down to pout at him.

"Right guys, I'll send you everything later. I need some sleep." Ruby said yawning into her hand as the trio in Japan said their goodbyes to her as she closed skype and turned her monitor off and walked over to her bed, falling face first down and let sleep overtake her.

Ruby got woken up by Weiss shaking her awake. "Dolt get up, it is six at night, this way you may fall asleep at a descent time tonight." Weiss scolded her as she began to wake up. Ruby sat up and rubbed her eyes. Weiss was about to say something else but was cut off by a yawn from Ruby.

"Sorry Weiss, just a week with no sleep really gets you. I should really check my emails that one guy said he would send me the codes to get the copies." Ruby said stretching in her spot as she cracked her knuckles. "What do you want to do for dinner? We could always attempt to cook again." Ruby asked while getting out of her bed while Weiss just rolled her eyes.

"One will you stop cracking your knuckles it's bad for you, two we will never attempt that again, unless one of us get some cooking lessons or you are able to convince your sister to move here." Weiss commented as Ruby began to boot up her main computer and walked out of her room with Weiss in tow as they walked down stairs.

"I'm pretty sure she is in a comfortable place with the head chef where she works and plus she has her goal of becoming a head chef by the time she turns thirty. She did after all just graduate from being a commis chef, so it is only a matter of time." Ruby commented pulling a few of the various menus they kept due to their lack of culinary knowledge. Ruby would welcome a home cooked meal but wouldn't want to have to learn how to cook, she already had her hands full with various games.

"Chinese, Pizza, Sushi, or Ramen bar?" Weiss said going through the menus Ruby tossed her way. She herself was like Ruby, she would love a home cooked meal but unlike Ruby she scarcely had a day off. She also didn't particularly care about if she didn't have a home cooked meal due to her upbringing.

"Let's have Pizza, I want something insanely cheesy and bad for me, plus this way I will be able to get the stuff working." Ruby said as she ran back up stairs to start the process of installing the new game. Weiss would let her know when the food arrived.

She quickly checked her emails and found what she was looking for, she forwarded one of each to all her friends and began the process to install the new game, 'Remnant of Magic'. 'Huh... I wonder if it will have the greatest class ever, but I really shouldn't play it. If I did I wouldn't stop until I reached the cap.' Ruby thought as she began to thank whatever deity that she had such fast download speeds.

She quickly created an account and signed in. She began to look through the characters and classes. 'Right... so they do have Death Knight. Damn... I really wanted some sleep. On a brighter note I'll be able to get onto the leader board faster. They also have probably the most agro of healers... nice.' Ruby thought as she began to create a character. The character she created was simply named 'Red Shade' the name that she will make feared like in Moonwater, will only be when she got the others playing.

As she started playing the she fell in love with level design and the orchestral music playing softly. She was slightly annoyed with only two servers up at the moment. She had a choice between PVP and Everything Goes. Ruby decided the former would be good to kill time and force her to simply 'Get Good' as she had said to so many people that she was simply over joyed with the easy keyboard layout that got her thinking if it was just standard to give all games the exact same keyboard layout, She was however slightly annoyed that the starting area was a safe zone but she did suppose it made sense.

Author's Note:

So short chapter but I do have to build up to everything plus it did introduce some other characters. I also really need to start playing some more RPGs but I no longer have a gaming rig for PC gaming. So yeah. That sucks. But I will persist with the meh laptop I have. (*I Have to make do with a laptop as well, have my entire time playing online gaming, yay money constraints* -A)
