Enter Jeu Racan
Jeu Racan is Jaune Arc's alter ego. A myth among the (male) students of Beacon. See author note's below for more details.
The MAIN pairing of Velvet and Cardin. Now I know what your thinking...probably anyway... something like what the hell is he thinking! or is he insane!?...or even WAIT WHAT NO they so DON'T go together...am I right? Well I did said it would be my choice of favorite pairings and I kinda feel like it's a very minor connection between them..kinda like a "Oh sweetie he only hurts you because he likes you" kinda thing. Him being so big he needs to have kind of a macho façade, which he just doesn't know how to express his feelings properly, then there's Velvet the cute, shy bunny girl, who's unaware of her own feelings in her heart and who better than the person he bullied right? Hahahahahahaha oh the irony. Also there will be a some WhiteRose fluff. There will also be minor hints at a (Jaune and Coco) along with (Sky and Blake) and (Pyrrah and Dove.)
That said the following is a non-profit fan-based story all charters and places belong to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum.
Please enjoy and also give me some feedback on what you thought so I can improve this is my first RWBY story.
His blue eyes watched from a distance as a male dog faunus with dark brown hair confessed to a purple haired green-eyed girl. "Everything looks good just do as I said" He thought to himself, the girl began to blush and look down as he scratched the back of his head as he leaned in closer.
"Come on man you got this just a little bit more and she's yours." Watching with unbridled anticipation, taking another step forward the boy took his hand and cupped the girls face as she gave no resistance. Jaune could almost visibly see her knees quake with the words he'd given the boy to say. Smiling as her face became even redder.
"That's my boy" He pumped his fist triumphantly "Now make her yours." As the boy leaned in further his eyes were covered just as the two were about to seal the deal. "Oh what's this I didn't realize you could be so bold Jauney-boy by being a peeping tom." The voice he recognized immediately as his fellow blonde Yang Xiao Long.
Giving him a knowing grin as he turned to face her, knowing he'd have to play it off he gave his best embarrassed look on his face "H-hey Yang fancy meeting you here." He had to play the part of the lovable goof, and honestly he had it pretty damn well down pat he had to admit. "W-w-what are you doing h-here." He stuttered again as his eyes meet her lilac ones. The buxomly blonde brawler again gave a knowing smile and a wiggle of her perfectly shaped eyebrows.
"I see what your doing Jauney-boy you thought that you could sabotage the young blossoming lovebirds because she rejected you?" She said while moving past him to get a better view of the action. "Damnit Yang! why are you here." His mind screamed trying his hardest not to show any signs of annoyance he audibly gulped and said meekly "I have no idea-" before he could finish Yang spoke again "Hey isn't that the girl who rejected you last week?" with a laugh. "Man you sure are desperate if you keep hitting on to women who are out of your league, eh vomit boy?"
"Yeah sure if you only knew what I could really do, you wouldn't be saying that" He thought before remembering who he was thinking about, and knowing what she'd probably do to him if he tried. So making his best blushing face he said indignantly "No I'm n-not and I'm not watching her." Making his voice crack knowing it'd hurt his throat a lot and he knew he'd suffer with it for a while.
It had taken him a second to realize what he had just said but by then it was to late. Yang now looking at him with an even bigger grin on his face whistled "Well now I guess after all those rejections you started batting for the other team." She teased, "DAMNIT ME AND MY DAMN BIG MOUTH!" His inner voice screamed while he planted both hands in his face and fell to his knees pretending to be embarrassed.
Slapping him on the back she said "Let's go vomit-boy both our teams have a group mission to go on, you can sulk on the bullhead." Knowing that her teasing would last forever or at least until something else caught her interest. Waiting a minute he stood after he couldn't hear her foot steps anymore before standing to see the male faunus give him a knowing nod and thumbs up.
Not wanting to watch anymore after he waved briefly before turning to slowly follow the other way knowing he'd have to put on another charade of embarrassment because of his accidental slip of the tongue, and of course Yang's big dirty gutter filled trashy mind.
"Oh here he comes." Yang said in a loud whisper as Jaune walked up to the rest of the group, giving a soft sigh, he scratched the back of his head giving a hapless goofy grin. Looking at them he saw Ruby munching happily on cookies before getting a nudge from Yang. Looking at her in a confusing look slowly turned back to look at her friend her face smiling happily. Weiss looked with a mixture of annoyed and relief. Blake for the most part looked indifferent reading her book, Jaune noticed it was a book he read some time earlier, continued to glace up from her book with a slightly red cheeks as her bow twitched slightly.
His partner Pyrrah looked at Jaune with an unwavering bright smile. The hammer wielding Valkyrie Nora said "Hey fearless leader" as she was grinning all while giving him a thumbs up. Glancing over at his only other male of their rag-tag group, saw the stoic Rin giving him a understanding sympathetic smile. Rubbing his forehead he got closer to the group as Yang wrapped an arm around his shoulders " So Jauney-boy mind sharing with the group your little secret or should I?" she teased wagging her eyebrows.
"It's not like it'll make any difference I'm sure you already told them, I'm just waiting for the punch line." Said the blonde boy abashed. Luckily for him there was a rapping sound turning to see the headmaster sipping on his coffee and a slightly more than usual perturbed Ms. Goodwitch as she held her riding crop in both hands so tight her hands turned even whiter.
"Now children you mustn't be late-" She seethed trying her best to control her anger, before Ozpin stopped her from blowing. "It's fine Glynda you mustn't be so hard on them they are children let them have their fun." He said with a slight grin, as Ms. Goodwitch gave him a sidelong glare.
"Headmaster you said there was a mission for us?" Weiss said perplexed as they would usually be in his clock tower office for mission briefs instead of the bullhead dock.
"Quite right" He said before taking another sip to continue" You will be conducting a joint mission with two other teams. Your tasks will vary from recon, to hunting grimm, or even...security." Pausing to look at the students faces before continuing. "There have been reports of an excess amounts of Grimm and White Fang activity in a few small but very significant villages to the city of Vale on the outskirts of town. You are to if necessary exterminate the Grimm and if any contact should be made white the White Fang you are not to engage with them unless absolutely no other options are possible." Straining the words all while looking at Blake.
Upon hearing this little bit of information Blake's bow twitched which didn't go unnoticed by either the man speaking or the buxomly blonde brawler as she let go of Jaune to comfort her partner. Approaching her from behind she Wrapped her arms around her as she whispered into her ear "It'll be aright Blakey remember our promise."
"So Headmaster what other teams will be joining on this mission with us eight then?" The stoic Ren asked in a natural tone with a slight hint of worry.
"Don't worry Ren no matter who it is we can handle anything and then afterwards you can make us pancakes, like a lot of pancakes. Pancakes for everyone after a long day of killing Grimm. But wait what if they don't like pancakes? Who am I kidding who doesn't like pancakes. But if they don't then I could always break they're legs." Nora said with happy energetic voice tinged with a dark edge, probably at the thought of breaking the legs of people who don't like pancakes.
"We're going to need more syrup then Nora" Jaune said then instantly regretted it as he saw the scowl Ren gave him, making the blonde boy shutter slightly.
Happily Nora jumped into her leaders arms hugging him by wrapping her arms around his neck and saying " Jauney your a genius we need more syrup lets go right now!" Dropping to her feet pointing in the direction of the Foreverfall forest.
"Nora we need to go on a mission right now if you be good I promise you I've get the red sap myself then afterwards we all can go on a team outing to the zoo to see the sloths." Jaune said grabbing her arm in an attempt to keep her from running off.
There were no words to could describe the delight in the ginger's eyes as she gave the blonde boy the spine breaking bear hug.
"We need a lot of syrup oh fearless leader I expect no less than thirty jars, then we could sneak into the sloth cages, and then feed them pancakes." She squealed in delight.
"You can't feed pancakes to sloths Nora" Pyrrah and Rin Chided the energetic orange haired girl in unison.
He felt his scroll buzz, ignoring it until it buzzed twice more. Pulling it out to look at it he saw nothing before another buzz caught his attention. Stuffing his scroll into his pocket he pulled out his other scroll he used for his alter-ego, Oum knows have many scrolls had to go through to make it look like he lost to keep up the whole goof-ball act, briefly he saw four unread messages. All of them addressed to Jeu Racan with a sigh he pocketed it and listen intently to the headmaster finish knowing it'd be to dangerous to openly read them. As his alter-ego was suppose to be a myth after all.
(Honestly it was surprising that Ozpin kept talking or Ms. Goodwitch allowed them to talk without stopping them for that matter...Unfortunately he didn't hear a word until the end)
"So you will be split with one member of each team to form four new teams the two other teams that will be joining you will be both Team CRDL with one member from Team CFVY leading you." The headmaster said before taking another sip of coffee.
"Damnit I missed everything he said...wait WHAT!" Jaune's mind thought as he caught the last few words began to trickle in for him to process them looking at the white haired man in horror.
No sooner had he had that was an outburst of protests, before Ms. Goodwitch smacked her crop hard against her hand it made everyone expect Ozpin wince. "Children this is not up for debate you will learn to work with other people outside your team. Understand it is Expected to learn how to be more efficient with other people to make you more proficient huntsman and huntresses.
"But sir there's no way that it will work, We already have our teams now, splitting us up will only ruin everything." Ruby said chimed loudly as Pyrrah was quick to agree, thinking only about the safety of her future blonde husba...PARNTER HE'S MY PARNTER!" she scolded herself mentally as she looked briefly in his direction, hoping he didn't see her looking at him.
"Finally maybe now I can get a more competent partner" Weiss muttered loud enough for Jaune to hear looking at a dejected little red head."Well time to make Ruby look good again, and make me look like the incompetent fool for the...two hundredth and sixty thir..fourth time now."
As he walked over to her he put on his best goofy grin and said " Hello again Snow angel I'm Mr. Right someone said you were looking for me." With a scoff he turned her head and scolded at the boy next to her "In your dreams Clown there's no way I'd ever consider you to be Mr. Right, and stop calling me that."
"Ouch you wound me." He replied putting his hand over his chest feigning to be hurt, then with a smile he leaned in and whispered into her ear. When he pulled back Weiss's face was redder than ruby's cloak. Chuckling softly as he went back, knowing full well Weiss' face would be a slight to behold as she sputtered and was unable to form any coherent words. Even Blake's face slightly redden from hearing (thanks to her excellent faunus ears) from what he said to her, as he walked past the other pair while awaiting the dreading sense of impending doom that awaited him when the other two teams got there.
"My Om...Jaune I didn't know you read those kind of books..." Blake said trying keep a straight face as he past.
"I just thought I'd take a line or too from Claws of the Cat." Knowing full well she read the book recently, winked at her and gave a slight grin. Making her blush further as she was bombarded with questions by Yang as to what he said.
"I've never seen Weiss's face so red what'd you tell her?" Pyrrah asked when he approached them again.
"What ever it was it couldn't have been good" Rin commented with a sour face as he attempted to get Nora from hanging like a sloth off a low hanging cable. "NORA GET DOWN HERE OR NO PANCAKES FOR A MONTH!"
"AWW BUT REN I'M PRACTICEING MY SLOTH WALK!" She said as she was hanging under the cable holding on by her pink shoes and hands.
"YOU HAVE THREE SECONDS TO GET DOWN OR IT'LL BE TWO MONTHS!" He yelled getting more annoyed with his childhood friend from under her where she was with his arms out to catch her. Pouting as she did a flip in the air as she dropped she landed safely in his arms "My hero!" she gushed to him while wrapping her arms around his neck making him flustered, as he coughed slightly letting her down not wanting his rosy cheeks to be seen.
Quickly looking at his scroll one more time he saw a Thank you message from the male Faunus from this morning, he honestly felt kind of bad for not remembering his name but with the amount of people he's help get together he didn't feel to bad, looking around to make sure no one else was watching he read through the next three messages. They came as such a shock he almost fainted from who sent them.
Message #1 Cardin Winchester
So your the legendary matchmaker huh? Well until I get proof I'm going to call bullshit unless we meet in person. Anyway there's this girl I like so do your mystic voodoo bs or whatever it is you do. To get this one chick to fall for me.
It was know, although not talked about, that if any male should be able to find his number from the various clues left scattered around campus to first give the name of the girl they wanted to date, and to never ask to meet in person. For reasons that should already be known that if Jaune Arc the famous reject knight huntsman of Beacon Academy was found out to be the even more unknown infamous matchmaker Jeu Racan. He'd be the entire laughing stock of school and if he was actually believed he'd be truly hated by the female populace, not that it bothered him but there were seven girls that he truly feared of losing his trust in.
His eye twitched in annoyance as he had never wanted to hit a person more than he wanted to hit Cardin at that moment. Sending his reply asking who it was Cardin wanted to date as he waited he read the other two messages.
The next message gave him a migraine trying to understand but he managed.
Message #2 Sky Lark
YO BIG J IT'S UR BOI SKY LARK! WRD N THA STREET IZ U GOT MAD SKILLZ GETIN' GURLS. I NED UR HLP GETIN' WIT DIS GURL NAMES BLAKE. THNKS N ADVACE BRO
"That's a train wreck waiting to happen if I ever seen one." He thought as he remembered him bullying other faunus, then thought about what would happen if he ever found out she was one. She'd probably break him in half, or tie him up with her sword,gun, ribbon ninja weapon thing.
The final message was no where near as bad as the other two but still shook him to his core as he read it.
Message #3 Dove Bronzewing
Hello? Is this Jeu Racan? I need your help I like this girl named Pyrrah Nikos. Please responded ASAP.
Shortly there after he received another message from Cardin
RE: Message From Cardin Winchester
The girl I like if you even want to call her that is a faunus...named Velvet Scarlatina
It took him a few minutes for his brain to restart as he read the texts over and over to make they were real.
"Oh shit fuck, Damnit shit damn fucking shit fuck!" His brain mentally screamed.
With a sigh Jaune went to a different screen on the scroll before typing in a few commands to alter the team roster for the upcoming "new team" mission, knowing there's be hell to pay. If he ever got caught doing what he shouldn't be, especially if it were by those very same people who he's hooking them up with found out, he imagined his body not ever being found. But it was a request from not one, or two, but three clients. Knowing he had a reputation to protect he certainly couldn't refuse their requests but as he did, he felt a couple large pangs in his chest like someone was carving out his chest cavity with a rusty spoon. Knowing full well that those people he'd possibly hurt, if they ever found out, who he truly he realized that he was quite possibly the worst person/friend on the face of the planet.
Luckily they didn't have to wait long as both the other two teams showed up about the same time
"What are these losers doing here?" sneered Russel
"They don't belong here, the same with the faunus." Snapped Dove coldly
"Say that again bastard!" Coco said stepping up to him Glaring daggers at the heavily armored clad team (Russel being the only exception)
"CHILDREN THAT IS ENOUGH YOU ALL WILL BE GOING ON THIS MISSION AND YOU LIKE IT. SO PUT ASIDE YOUR PETTY DIFFERENCES GET YOU ASSES ON LINE AND WAIT FOR YOU NAME TO BE CALLED TO BE PUT ON YOUR TEAMS!" Ms. Goodwitch screamed snapping her crop in half. Looking at the two pieces then back at the students with an accusing glare. Who very wisely all started slowing backed away seeing the murderous intent in her eyes.
"Thank you Glynda that will be all you may leave, and try not to break anything else on your way to retrieve you spare crop." Ozpin said waving her off as he took the pad from under his arm, with one look at him she knew he wasn't playing around so she turned on her heels and stormed off.
"That's strange...I could have sworn" He mused as he looked at the screen. "How odd" he muttered again as finished calling off the names and mission assignments. Jaune gulped hoping he didn't notice his slight alteration but Ozpin began calling out the names when he finished with the new teams he spoke more sternly than normal "Your team leaders will be briefed prior to your arrival to the villages via there scrolls, in which you will follow and carry out the mission as they deem fit and you are to follow all orders given failure to do so will be punished severely."
Inside Ozpin's mind while he's tell the new teams how they will operate- What the fuck happened to all my ships where did Whiterose or Arkos go!? I know for a fact that I put Ruby and Weiss on a team and Jaune and Pyrrah of a team. How did this happen who could hav...GLYNDA! DAMNIT I KNEW IT SHE ALWAYS RUINS MY SHIPS! JUST LIKE WITH QROW AND SUMMER!
"Excuse me children I have business to take care of" The white haired man said with a huff and a tap of his cane turning to leave. Barely hearing Nora saying" Professor could you do that one more time but say you shall not pasphf" before she was silenced by Ren's hand covering her mouth and saying something about copyrights.
New teams are as follows
Jaune Arc,Yang Xiao Long, and Russel Thrush with Coco Adel as the leader : Mission Security
Ruby Rose,Dove Bronzewing, and Pyrrah Nikos with Fox Alistair as the leader : Mission Hunting
Cardin Winchester,Weiss Schnee, and Lie Ren with Velvet Scarlatina as the leader : Mission Recon
Blake Belladonna,Sky lark, and Nora Valkyrie with Yatsuhashi Daichi as the leader : Mission Scouting
As they boarded the bullhead to go off on they're separate missions no sound was made even Nora who was notorious for being loud and annoying seemed oddly docile as she sat next to Ren not wanting to part from her childhood friend. You could cut the tension with a knife of course it was understandable as a fourth of the total group was team CRDL the sole team oozing with egotistical bulling testosterone, while another team they barely even knew was going to led them into Oum knows what. It was quite with the exception of the engine roaring until there was a noise that rung out to break the awkward silence.
All of me" by John legend
Que ferais-je sans ta bouche intelligente?
Tu m'entraînes et tu me jettes dehors.
Vous avez ma tête tourner, pas de blague, je ne peux pas vous pincer.
Ce qui se passe dans ce bel esprit.
Je suis sur votre tour de mystère magique.
Et je suis si étourdi, je ne sais pas ce qui m'a frappé, mais je vais bien.
Turning to the noise everyone saw Jaune holding out his scroll with an annoyed look on his face, rubbing his temple before all while sighing as he answered "Bonjour grosse soeur que voulez-vous et quand avez-vous changé ma sonnerie?"
He said warily as he stood "Excuse me I gotta take this." as he walked to a farther corner of the bullhead, away from the others' eyes. While everyone's eyes were turned to him in surprise Blake's ribbon twitched several times, seeing this yang moved to sit closer to her and whispered "Can you hear what he's saying?
Nodding briefly she Muttered back her book covering her mouth" No I don't understand what's he's saying, but from the tone of his voice and his body language it's probably nothing good." Looking at her partner she said deadpan" What do you think we should do about that?" She asked nodding her head to Jaune who looked downcast as he spoke.
Looking at the two their leader leaned into her partner with cookie crumbs and chocolate smeared around the edges of her mouth ask "What do you think they're talking about?" Opening her eyes to glance down at the teams young leader she said irritated at the closeness and her leader's messy eating habits "I don't know you dolt, but quit being such a child, act more like our leader, and wipe your mouth off." Looking at her with a lost expression Ruby simply tilted her head.
"Weiss are we a couple?" The little red head asked out of nowhere leaning in more to the white haired girl looking at her in confusion.
"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE YOU DUNCE WHAT WOULD POSSIBLE MAKE YOU THINK THAT!" She shouts her face glowing red in embarrassment turning her head away. Only to glance back a few moments later at her to see her looking like a kicked puppy wiping away the crumbs and smearing the chocolate more on her face.
Realizing what she did was wrong she felt a pain in her chest as she long at the young leader.
"No you dolt your making even more of a mess here." The heiress said in a softer tone as she pulled out a small snow white handkerchief and wiped the young girls mouth.
"You two do make a cute couple though." Ren said breaking the silence noticing the exchange between the two.
"NOT YOU TOO, WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!" Weiss glared at the green clan boy who simple shrugged and gave a profound smile
When he returned he was greeted with looks of shock and awe. Coco of all people being the most surprised. "Well Well looks like you've been hiding a couple tricks up your sleeve huh Arc? I didn't know you could speak French." Lowering her sunglasses to give a wink " Care to teach me some time? I promise to make it worth your while if you do."
Looking at her with a confident gaze and dazzling smile he said "Ce serait mon honneur." As he bowed with a nodded, a small smirk formed on the corners of her lips as she leaned back and crossed her legs with her arms folded said "Good I can't wait to get started."
As he walked past her the aircraft hit some turbulence and rocked the inside making him stumble backwards and to the side planting his hand out in front of him he caught himself before he fell fully. Good thing he did because he was hovering in front of Coco. Looking down at her he decided to play it cool and ask "You're not hurt are you?" With an amused grin she asked warmly "My how bold of you did you want to start our lessons so soon?"
"Would you believe me if I said yes? I honestly couldn't wait to see what you mean by make it worth my while." He grinned almost wolfishly.
Chuckling she said "Not here kiddo maybe when we're alone." Putting a finger briefly to her lips then pressing them to his as she pushed him away.
With a smile "A little preview for you" She said chuckling as his face got heated while he stumbled away in embarrassment, not expecting that to happen.
He then quickly went back to his seat and answered the question on everyone's mind "That was my overbearing, overprotective, older sister. She was the only one aside from my mom who objected to me coming here." He said before putting his head between his legs to pretend motion sickness pull out his scroll to type to his new..."clients" would be a very loose term to call them but the most appropriate, so as to avoid any questions for the time being.
The usual message he sent first is just a small list of rules that anyone who requests his help needs to understand, he just wants everyone to have a fair chance at love...everyone except him...since he's cemented himself as the school fool better make it easier for everyone else though.
Message to Cardin, Sky, and Dove
Alright first things first you need to understand a few things.
1.) You will listen to and do everything I say with out any complaints, regardless of how embarrassing or degrading if you want to get this girl you NEED to throw away any sense of egotistical pride you have.
2.) There may be other people going after the same girl you are, I will give them the exact same unbiased advice I give you. So don't get all pissy if someone else does the same shit you do.
3.) This should already be a given but we will never meet in person regardless of the situation if you attempt to discover my identity I will cut all ties with you and you will never have a chance with any other girl.
4.) Trust in my advice and you will never fail.
5.) No one else will know of our conversations so after we finish talking you will delete the messages received.
6.) I WILL NOT HOLD YOUR HAND AND WALK YOU THROUGH EVERTHING YOU WILL NEED TO DO A MAJORITY OF THE TALKING IF ANYTHING I WILL GIVE YOU TOPICS TO TALK ABOUT OR SUGGESTIONS AS WHAT TO SAY, TO HELP YOU NOT MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF.
7.) This service is for monogamous relationships only so no multiple partners are allowed, I will know if you try.
After giving out his rules he paused for them to read everything before continuing.
With that being said tell me more about this girl. what do you like about her? He typed separately to his three tormentors only to almost instantly to be regretting it as he was bombarded with messages about his friends. All most all of them included rude comments about their bodies and what'd they do to them behind closed doors if they let them.
Controlling his anger as he felt the room spin slightly but brushed it off, knowing it wouldn't do him any good if he got to emotionally involved.
Message to Cardin
Okay first and foremost saying what you said about your potential love interest isn't something you do, so if this is a prank or a joke in anyway, shape, or form I WILL castrate you. I take matters of the heart seriously, as well as my reputation as matchmaker. Second I already know your past history ,with Velvet, and I'm going to be absolutely honest. You fucked up big time, you hurt her really bad in multiple ways, to include tormenting her to no end, calling her rude names, trashing her heritage, and I actually saw you do the most taboo thing you could ever do to a faunus. You pulled of her ears without her permission. That in itself is a dangerous sin to be considered a death sentence depending on who the faunus is. That is a very serious crime that could possible end any serious relationship you'd ever want to have. You should just be lucky you picked a very kind and sweet girl who is trying to prove that faunus aren't all bad and..
Jaune breathe to calm himself before could feel his anger seep into his words as he typed, remembering everyone he's bullied including himself.
And to be honest it'd be a gift from Om if she ever forgave you. So I'll tell you this from what I've seen and your actions you have a major problem. Your heart is damaged may it be from you past or something else you need to take off the armor of your heart. Do that by getting her alone away from people and apologize from the heart, say you know it won't change what I've done to you but I want to change and make myself a better person. So I'm going to give you your first order from me if anyone starts insulting her stand in front of her and protect her from them no matter what they do.
After that regardless of what order she gives no matter how small, with the exception of the order I gave, say as you wish and if anyone has an issue with her being a faunus, first try to deescalate the situation by taking her away from it if that doesn't work then if she allows it use MINOR force. Since actions do speak louder than words you yourself need to change how others see you. Regardless of how many people hate you twice as many will stand next to you I grantee it.
He paused before a moment before he continued to type one final sentence" Are you willing to throw away everything for this girl to not allow her to cry or be sad again? Don't answer just yet I want you to think about the answer before you give it so I know your serious. And I truly mean serious think about it can you see a life with her."
He was probably over exaggerating however he wanted to test the mace wielders resolve. "I don't want any doubt or wavering when you answer."
Rubbing his temples as he typed the next message he could feel another migraine coming on.
Message to Sky
Okay first STP TYPIN' LKE DIS...it's annoying and childish so if you even manage to get Blake's number she will without a doubt will delete/block your number and forget you ever existed.
Second and listen to me when I say this because I'm serious when I say it, when you approach Blake you NEED to be aware she isn't the most trusting of people, especially those she just met...she also isn't a very talkative person in general but she does like her books...and..
He couldn't explain it, but he felt guilty telling his friend's secret...it left a serious bad taste in his mouth.
Her heart is very broken, so you need to appeal to her in a more intellectual manner... here's a little tip one of the books she's reading right now is Claws of the Cat by Susan Spann
the synopsis of it is
When a samurai is brutally murdered in a Kyoto teahouse, master ninja Hiro Hattori has just three days to find the killer before the dead man's vengeful son kills both the beautiful geisha accused of the crime and Father Mateo, the Jesuit priest that Hiro has pledged his own life to protect. The investigation plunges Hiro and Father Mateo into the dangerous waters of Kyoto's floating world, where they quickly learn that everyone from an elusive teahouse owner to the dead man's dishonored brother has a motive to keep the samurai's death a mystery.
So I suggest you say something along the lines of I really liked that Susan didn't write Hiro as an unstoppable killing machine. Instead he relied on stealth and subterfuge but seemed like he could handle himself things if they turned physical. The only other thing I really liked is that Father Matteo tried to live as a normal Japanese person rather than surround himself with Westernize culture trappings. It should warm her up to you...if she starts talking about it too much say you read it about a month ago so you don't remember everything.
Good luck and do be warned she has claws and isn't afraid to use them.
Jaune smirked as he typed that last line at the pun about his cat-girl faunus friend.
Message to Dove
My best advice to even began approaching Pyrrah Nicos is to treat her like a person she is human after all, she's been treated like an idol almost all her life it'll be a welcoming relief for someone outside her circle of friends to appreciate her for who she is. Just talk her like you would your female friends...Also she really likes horses, and is a history buff so work that in conversation . Just be as much of your self as possible and stop squinting as much. Do you have bad eye sight or something? Look her in the eyes when you talk with her, and don't have any wandering eyes while you talk.
As soon as they landed Coco took the lead followed by Jaune, Yang, and Russel brought up the rear. Making the trudging walk to the village Jaune noted the large furnaces and grinders for dust.
Wasting no time Coco turned to the other members of the team and said" Simply put we are going to go to the village of Tolmu Küla and protect the miners to and from the mine. Very simple right?" She turned to Russel " You take point Yang will be behind you, followed by me then Jaune."She commanded so effortlessly. While walking he couldn't help but noticed the sway of Coco's hips when she walked before another buzz distracted him. Looking at it he saw it was from Sky, with an eye roll he opened it and read the short message
Message # 2 Sky Lark
What do I do? man I'm seriously screwed I messed up big time! I did as you asked and now she's just ignoring me! I NEED HELP!
Sighing he typed back quickly CALM THE FUCK DOWN! QUIT BEING A FRIGGIN PANSY AND JUST STICK TO THE PLAN KEEP TALKING ABOUT OTHER ACTUAL BOOKS NOT COMICS, TALK ABOUT CATS OR SEAFOOD! and just be confident and for the love of Oum please don't make a total dick of yourself.
After a while of trudging through mud they reached their destination "So this is a mining village then" Russel said "It's smaller than I imagined." Ignoring the green-haired boy's comment as they were greeted but a large burly man with dirty brown hair and red sunken-in charcoal eyes wielding a pickaxe. "So you must be our security detail then?" The man's voice boomed as he looked down seeming skeptical about the four students, while other men gave the same doubtful looks.
"Yes we are your security detail" She said unfazed by his comment "Team form up like last time Russel in front Yang that the left side, I'm on right and Jaune.."
"Yeah yeah I'm on the rear got it" He said cutting her off, as he walked to the end next to a pair of large and smelly men. "Lets just get this over with." The blonde knight grumbled.
All in all the Mission went well there were no serious complications, all the teams completed it with minimal the way back was a completely different story everyone who was in their assigned groups stayed relatively close to each other, they were laughing and seemingly having fun.
Ruby must've been exhausted as she fell asleep as soon as she boarded the bull head, on Weiss's shoulder who stiffened at first but soon relaxed enough for Ruby to move to get comfortable. The Heiress then ever so slowly sighed and slowly covered their leader's left hand with her right with a small content smile. Closing her eyes as the exhaustion from her mission made her just as sleepy, just as she was allowing the motion of the bullhead to ever so slowly rock her gently to sleep take she heard the shutter of a camera, snapping her eyes open she saw Yang, Nora, and Ren of all people talking pictures of them. Feeling her blood boil from embarrassment as they clamored on about them being a couple and Nora saying something about calling it she stormed off angrily waking poor Ruby in the process.
"I wonder how the "other missions" went." The blonde boy thought from his spot next to Coco with his elbows on his knees and his chin resting in his hands chin as he cautiously peered at his friends and clients.
Pyrrah seemed happy for the most part as she sat next to Dove all though he caught her glancing at him every so often, even Blake was smiling at Sky over a joke he told. Now all he needed to do was see how his main pet project was going worried that Cardin's bad attitude and ego would get in his way. However his worrying was for nothing as he sighed in relief when he saw a slightly blushing Velvet tending to the bruised face of an even redder Cardin.
"G-good-bye C-Cardin I hope we can talk more later" Velvet with her face redder and a tomato as she fled at top speed from the party as soon at the airship landed, not hearing him respond with as you wish, as her teammates quickly followed after her but not before looking back to the boy.
Leaving a bruised Cardin to his teammates, Cardin looking like he would faint just snarled " What are you looking at!" before leaving as well.
Later on in Team JNPR dorm room the group was relaxing for the earlier mission.
"So Cardin and Velvet seemed pretty close after the mission." Nora commented as she bounced from bed to bed.
"I hope it's not some scheme from Team CDRL" Pyrrah said brushing her long flowing red locks.
"I'm sure everything will be fine didn't you see her face or hear what she said?" Jaune said trying to defend his bully " I know I did and I heard her saying that she wants to see him again."
"That maybe true but knowing Cardin it's probably a trick" Ren said agreeing with the others looking up from cleaning his weapon on the floor near his bed.
"I agree with that" Nora said stopping on her own bed before doing a flip.
"That's it" Jaune said in his best leader voice "This discussion is over let's just get some sleep we've got a big test tomorrow we need to rest for it and I'm tired so this is a teamleader order go to sleep." Jaune said leaving no room for arguments as he crawled into bed in just a pair of sweatpants leaving his chest bare.
A/N: Just want to apologize that this took WAY! longer than expected to complete and the next one shouldn't take as long. Tell me what you thought of it leave comments or pm me. For anything I can improve on this was my first RWBY story.
There will be more of this pairing in more detail in the next chapter...there will also be a lot more complications for them as well.
Just so you all are aware the title is a bit of play on words, both words are French Jeu: means game because of the matchmaking game Jaune is playing. Racan: was actually a French aristocrat, soldier, poet, dramatist and (original) member of the Académie française. Given Jaune's past actions in the series and his original heritage (of who he's based off of) I thought it only appropriate because of the things he will do to assist the men he helps. What he does I can't say just yet but he is defiantly smarter than the dunce knight everyone makes him out to be. That and well it made a pretty awesome anagram of his name. Have to admit I'm a little proud of myself for that little bit of humor.
The book Claws of the Cat is an actual book by Susan Spann, I enjoyed reading it had a lot twists in it. If you're into detective mystery novels it is a great read.
So the ringtone itself is just the first verse of the song if you don't know it then look it up although I used Google translate so the words won't be the same if you YouTubed the song.
When Jaune is talking on the phone what he says is "Hello big sister what do you want and when did you change my ringtone?"
Then later on Jaune says to Coco "It would be my honor."
For character reference although not named (yet) I made his sister that called more over bearing than yang in a way. Just looking out for his well-being more so than the other sisters.
The next chapter will be Dec 17-18
