Hey everybody! It's me. So, how's it going? I'm doing good. Sadly, I didn't have much time to write over break, but I will finish this now! Anyway, I don't own anything except for my OC's.
[THIRD PERSON]
Eventually, the trio made it to the auditorium. And since Craig had a map, they were able to get there a bit early. Yang shouted, "Ruby! Over here! I saved you a spot!"
"Oh! Hey, I gotta go. I'll see you after the ceremony!" Ruby said as she went over towards her sister.
"Great. Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?" asked Jaune.
"I dunno, maybe her?" Craig said, pointing at a girl behind them. She had red hair, green eyes, a golden circlet, and a bronze breastplate with a red miniskirt. Suddenly, he spotted Gris near the front of the room. "I'm gonna check up on my friend. You're welcome, by the way."
[CRAIG]
As I went to hang with Gris, I said, "Hey, man. How's it going?"
"Not bad, you?" he asked.
"Pretty good. Probably just started a relationship," I replied. "Now I just gotta hope that he doesn't fuck it all up."
"Cool, coo- wait, what?"
"Yup, right over there. Also, what, in your opinion, is the best video game company?" I had more than a few ideas for them. Sure they may have been copyrighted, but everybody who would've cared was definitely dead by now. Besides, I wanted to bring the joy of Nintendo back to the world.
"Half-Blast Studios, I guess. (1) But back to earlier, what do you mean, you started a relationship?" he seemed very confused.
"Well, ladykiller over there," I said, pointing at Jaune, "and I were talking to another girl earlier. But she went to go meet up with her sister, and he said, 'Where am I supposed to find another nice, quirky girl to talk to?' then I noticed her (pointing at Pyrrha) giving him a look that practically screamed 'I like you!' so I said 'maybe her?' and then I saw you and left them. Whew!" I was slightly out of breath at the moment.
"Okay…"
"So, any way to contact them?" I asked, hoping to change the subject and make things less awkward.
"Uh, well, you can always call the business number." As he told me the contact info, I noticed Weiss and Ruby. I saw how Weiss gave her the pamphlet and insulted her, which gave me an idea.
"Yeah, and we can paint our nails, and try on clothes, and talk about cute boys, like tall, dark, and nerdy over there!" said Weiss.
"Rude!" I said. It didn't really hurt, but I was surprised that she went after me. I guess Jaune was still talking to Pyrrha somewhere.
"Oh, you heard me? Well, sorry!" her voice was absolutely dripping sarcasm.
As I was about to tear into her, Oz started talking. "Ahem… I'll keep this brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. But I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." He was tired, that much was certain.
"You will gather in the ballroom tonight. Tomorrow your initiation begins. Be ready. You are dismissed." she ordered.
"Well, that wasn't ominous at all!" I said, trying to be humorous. I conjured up a booklet that said 'How not to be an asshole, for assholes.' as I turned to Weiss, I told her, "Also, take this."
"What?!" Weiss was absolutely livid.
"Wilson enterprises are not responsible for any injuries or damages sustained by operating under the pretense that Remnant revolves around you, and you can insult people all you want without any retaliation. We would very much like to inform you that this is not the case, and that we apologize that you ever came under that delusion. (2)"
"Wha-?! You?! Do you know who I am?!" It was fun seeing her this mad.
"Unless you're gonna stuff some of that fire Dust into a lemon, and burn my house down with it, I don't care." (3)
"Holy shit… I have never seen such a brutal takedown… even grimm aren't that cruel!" Yang looked almost reverent. "Teach me your ways, oh wise one!"
"Yang! Language!" Ruby was mad at Yang, but was also blown away by the absolute destruction.
"Simple. All you gotta do is think of what you would have thought in about, I dunno, 6 hours? A few days? Basically, ask your future self, 'what should I have said?'" I have sorta mastered this technique.
And, done! That's all for this one, folks.
1: I looked up a gaming company name generator.
2: This is a reference to a series of online insults, (or eSults) done by Channel Awesome. That specific one was "For Those Who Feel Entitled"
3: Cave Johnson, Combustible Lemons.
Well that's it for this time, folks. If you're wondering, no. I don't hate Weiss, I just wanted to teach her that being an asshole can only get you so far. See you next time, and, as always, follow, fav, and review!
