"I think you used it fine, I was getting hints along the way saying that morningwood was an asshole"
Morningwood... explain the joke here, please.

"First off I love all the cuts you did, it really helped create and mantain the feeling of frantic for some reveiwers...some are like myself and merely forgot somethings has for others... Have you ever heard of the: Dunning Kruger Effect?"
Thanks, creating a sense of frantic tension was what I was aiming for. As for forgetting information, well like I said a few times before these chapters are short so I don't waste words. Everything I have has a purpose and if people just forget things that telegraphs to me that I'm not doing my job right. The Dunning Kruger Effect I did look it up, um explain what you mean, please.

Please favorite, follow, share, and/or review
The Melting Pot
"So... what do you think?" Sun asked cherry.
"This place leaves much to be desired, but he's not made of Lien and the food doesn't sound that bad. More grease then I'm used to." Weiss thought.
She smiles a bit. "It's good."
"Yeah, I didn't really know what you liked so I just when with my gut. Well not that I mean I got this place because I like the food here- I mean I do like the food here but it's not the main reason I picked it-." Weiss leaned over and silenced him with a finger.
She smiled more genuine. "Sun, it's ok. You don't have to act all nervous I'm hardly going to judge you."
"Ok..." Sun runner the back of his neck. "So why were you alone at the dance?" "If you don't mind me asking."
Weiss smile died then and there.
"I-If you don't mind me asking that is."
"I wanted to go with someone... but he turned me down and I had no one else to go to. Let's leave it at that."
"Hello there." They turned to a woman that stood at the edge of their table.
"My name is Jennifer and I'll be your waiter today. What can I get you two today."
"Oh uh, " Sun glanced at his menu. "I'll have..."
Weiss internally sighed. "Really Sun? What were you doing this whole time? Looking at me!"
He finally settled on something. "A Hamburger with no pickles and extra mustard."
"Okay, and for you miss?"
Weiss looked at her menu. "I'll have a twelve-inch call me to strip on the rare side with a white ripe tomato salad including sliced red onions in olive virginal oil and some Sloane salt."
"...How about this, I'll get you a steak." She finished writing and left.
"So... Weiss tell me about yourself."
"Huh?" Weiss tilted her head. "Why are you asking."
"Well, I was just making conversation... we are on a date and small talk is something people do, you know?"
"Mm. Well, do you mind if I asked what happened with your date?"
"Well Blake hooked up with me outside and we went in," He shrunk down in his seat. "She just left after her dance with Yang. She was in a hurry so it was probably important, but still."
Weiss reached over and place her hand atop his.
"Well, at least we got to dance that night. So you win there."
Sun smiled a but and took her hand in his.
"I guess I did, thanks." His smile became mischievous. "Nice thawing Ice Queen."
Weiss rolled her eyes. "I can still leave put those doors right now Monkey Boy."
"Then throw away a free meal?" Sun teased.
Weiss snorted. "I can get a place with a far higher quality of food and service then this place." She crossed her arms.
Sun chuckled. "Well, then why don't you pick the place next time?"
"I will Sun believe me."
His face became more serious.
"Wait. Wait. Wait!" He leaned forward. "Are you saying we are doing this again?"
"W-Well the Vytal tournament is still postponed until next week and we can't leave Beacon... so why not?"
Sun just sat there for a while then smiled. "It's a second date then."
"Yes. Yes, it is."
It was a day since Jaune escaped and all he had no armor, no sword, and no way to contact his friends. With the Vytal tournament postponed he couldn't just wait at the fairgrounds for them to show up and the upper districts was a no go they'd look there. So the slums it was. He had a gun, only ammo was what it had in it and it was night time with nowhere for him to sleep so an ally way was it.
Jaune was just laying there when his eyes shot opened he heard footsteps. Not regular walking it was slow and step by step.
Someone was sneaking up on him.
Jaune closed his eyes to slightly and slowly reached into his hoodie's pocket. He carefully drew his gun out.
It was halfway there when the walking got quicker and a figure, a faunus, got in front of him and grabbed the gun and yanked it out of Jaune's hand.
Jaune attempted to stand and face his assailant but they tacked him to the ground and forced a rag up against his face. Jane tried to force him off but slowly his struggles got weaker until he fell limp
He pocketed the rag and pulled out a radio.
"This is Viper. I have precious cargo in hand, proceeding to campsite."
"Copy that Viper. Did precious cargo offer resistance?"
"Yes, control. Had to knock him out."
Control signed. "Ok, Viper Roger that last transmission."
"Roger, over and out."
Viper hoisted him on his back.
"Damn. Heavy fucker."
Roland and Juniper Arc stepped off the transport. Vale was in shambles but the festival had to go on. Lowing negatively, especially now, was a priority. It was d fleeing thought though, Ironwood was their priority number one and they needed to see about getting to Beacon. James had been declining Rolands calls for the passing day or so and he was unlike to pick one up. Ozpin was their best bet to Ironwood and then their son.
"Are you certain Ozpin will help us?" Juniper asks.
Roland keeps walking but answers. "He will or we'll make him."
Jaune came to after smelling something. He looked to see two White Fang members one of the waving something in front of him.
He pulled his hand back. "See told you it would wake him." Said a boar Faunus with tusks.
"Yeah. Yeah, hey Arc, you are Jaune Arc right?" said the fox Faunus with two ears visible on his head.
Jaune shifted in place but found his hands were bound behind him.
"Calm down. Those are just there to make sure you don't go nuts on us." The fox Faunus said.
"Look were with Khans Claws okay." Tusk Faunus said.
Jaune stared at them for a moment.
"Khans Claws? What's that?"
Chapter Forty-eight, Cinder's and Salem's conversation, look it up people this splinter group was established all the way back there.
"We're a loyalist group to Sienna Kahn." Tusky said. "Look I'm Edward and this is Andrew." He gestured to the fox-eared one next to him.
Andrew drew a knife. "Hey, to show you we ain't fucking around let me get those bindings off okay?" Jaune was hesitant at first but eventually shifted around and allowed him to cut off his bindings.
"Okay, so Jaune right?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah, Jaune Arc. So you guys are loyal only to Sienna?"
"That's kind of what Edward just said a few seconds ago."
"So are you here to help get Sienna out?" Jaune asked hopeful.
"We were here to establish connections with her but arrived way too late. With that battleship and just how few are numbers are this is not a scenario where we get her out without serious aid. Before you ask it's aid we don't have or can't get. Even with all of us, it's doubtful we would accomplish anything."
"There has got to be something you guys can do to help. I thought the White Fang was a big organization."
This time Andrew answered. "It is but we are Khans Claws. We're skilled veterans but just too few in numbers and most of us are still hunkered down in Mistral or Menagerie."
"... Can you get me into Beacon with what you have?"
They paused and sunk in that information.
"What? Why would you want to enter one of the bellies of the beast?" Andrew asked.
Edward stepped up."Yeah, you're a wanted man and what's even at Beacon that could help you?"
"I have friends, they may be able to help and it's better than nothing, right?"
Edward sighed. "Well some hunters in training doesn't sound bad. Okay but lets first get everything ready before trying anything." Edward turned to Andrew. "Andrew I need you to get a map of Beacon more specifically the docks as well as shuttles in and out."
"Got it." Andrew said as he left.
"We'll help you but only because we need the guys alright human." Edward said
"Got it."
Beep*
Beep*
James looked to see it was Ozpin messaging him.
Beep-*
He accepted and Ozpin's face came on screen. At this point, he would we come to any direction.
"Yes, Oz what is it."
"Well, there is someone here to talk with you." Ozpin said.
James didn't put any thought into it. "Mh. Well, who is it."
"Well it's-" He didn't have time to finish as he was pushed out of the way and Juniper came into view.
"Hello General!" She said statistically. "I and Roland wanted to have a nice long chat with you about our son!"
James flinched back at the sudden tone shift.
"Ms. Arc. Jaune Arc is under my custody and I will keep him as I see fit."
"You can't keep him forever!" She cried out. "With what's going on now you won't have the authority to keep him for long!"
"The alleged terrorist Jaune Arc is to-"
"You dare call my son a terrorist!" Roland bellowed as he slammed his fists against the table cracks forming under his fist. "My son may be weak! Spineless! Not to mention a pathetic warrior! But he would never harm the innocent!" The man yelled as he unleashed a torrent of fire at the man.
"I didn't say that!" James said dodging the fire. "I have merely suggested the idea he-"
James was cut off by a Juniper "Okay listen here you little shit and listen well. You are in a very precarious situation and we can easily make it even worse for you believe me!" She composed herself. "If we don't see our son soon Me and Daddy over here are gonna fly right up to that battleship and beat the oil out of the tin man." She said grinning a vicious smile. Ironwood trembled at this woman. Let it be known James was a smart man. He just knew rule number seven in life. Don't fuck with a mother bears cub.
"Now then James," Roland said cracking while his wife cracked her knuckles. "About our son."
"I- I don't have him anymore."
The two Arcs and even Ozpin paused.
"What?" Roland asked.
"Two days ago his covey taking him to my ship was attack by the White Fang and all the troops were killed. Your son Jaune Arc was gone when the police had arrived." James explained carefully.
The two sat there starting opened eye. While Ozpin stood there wondering that if he balanced a book on either or both of their heads would I'm the noticed.
Hey, it's a serious question!
The two then shared a quick glance before running over to the elevator and left.
"Okay. So let me just go over the plan just one more time." Andrew said.
"Okay... I mean we already did like two times already but okay." Jaune replied.
"The shuttle we're looking at right now is taking supplies to the school. I'm going to cause a diversion to draw the guards attention and let you slip on. Once you there you need to lay low until you reach beacon and make your way to your friends with that cloak on."
"Yeah, I know now how about we actually do this sometime today?"
"Yeah. Yeah." He pointed over to some crates close to the ships cargo ramp. "Head over there you'll have less distance to cover."
"Got it." Jaune made his way to the crates and looked to Andrew for the distraction.
"What is the distraction anyhow? For someone who constantly repeated the plan, he didn't specify what he was going to-"
Just then Andrew stood up and fired several rounds from his gun and everybody looked to him.
"COME AND GET ME ATLAS PIGS!" Andre ran off in a zig-zag motion the bots immediately opened fire while to troops made chase.
Jauna taking the single slipped one and made his way to the shuttle.
He stopped at the ramp and looked back as Andrew.
"That's one crazy Faunus. He thought before getting on the transport.
