I don't own RWBY or Darkest Dungeon

"Spying on me won't help you, neither me.

But exchanging some words Might?

I'm no wizard, Nor have supernatural powers

I guess, to know what for you desire."

Aboard the Atlas Airship

3rd POV

Bigby sat silently out in the hall. He nervously waited for Penny who was changing into something for the big date. As he waits Bigby looks down at himself. He had packed a few things for the date, however he left that behind when Yang tossed him. Thankfully that came through after she tossed it thirty minutes later. He was wearing something similar that Sun had on during the dance. He wasn't one for suits. Still least he could look somewhat presentable. As he waited, the door opens up revealing Penny in a stunning new dress. Similar to the dress she had on at the ball, but with a silk green dress and a beautiful fur coat over it. On her head was a white cloche hat.

"Well, how do I look?" Penny asked as she gave a small twirl.

"…Schön, einfach schön." Bigby said with his mouth open on a gate with shock.

"I beg your pardon?" Penny asked as she tilt her head in confusion.

"Oh, um what I said is that you look lovely." Bigby said with a blush.

"Oh splendid. Now, we only have six hours, forty-nine, and twenty-three seconds before you have to return me back, otherwise General Ironwood will most likely rip you from all four limbs. Causing multiple organs to shutdown because of hypovolemic shock, which will lead to your immediately death by congestive heart failure by traumatic amputation." Penny explains in a cheerful tone. Which made it even more unsettling for Bigby as he held his right arm as the phantom pain slowly left his body. After a few moments of painfully awkward silence, Penny continued on. "To which I have planned an efficiently and fun afternoon that will let us enjoy ourselves without the fear of being late."

"Oh… wunderbar." Bigby said uncomfortably.

As he rubs the back of his head in fear. Penny then wrapped her hands around Bigby before saying, "Thank you so much. I have never been on a date before. I'm… so… happy."

She then gives a small kiss on his right cheek. "Thank you. Sincerely."

"Ja, willkommen." Bigby remarked as he blushed madly. Penny then looked grabbed Bigby by his arm and quickly raced down the hallway. They have already wasted a minute forty three of their time. As they quickly made down the hall to an airship to take them to the first part of their date, the view pulls down. Once it passed the floor transitions to a roof top in the center of Vales commercial District.

Downtown Vale, on the roof tops overlooking an Ice cream store.

Across the street, Tardif vigilantly while he silently watch's the Ice cream store across the street. He has been there for hours waiting silently for his target to make an appearance. Tardif has spent his free time working down at the Vale police station as a freelance Bounty hunter. At first the police thought he was some kid who has no idea what he's doing. However after the first three runners came back in pieces. He gained a reputation as Vales most proficient part time Bounty Hunter. Majority of the skips he now hunts turn themselves in rather then have Tardif track them down. One day he heard reports that Torchwick's assistant was spotted going in and out of a local Ice cream store. Figuring that he tracked her down, after all. She has killed the last five bounty hunters that went after her. He was about to leave when he ran into… an inconvenience.

"I'm so BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDDD-AAAAHH!" Sun groans as the view pulls to the side. Next to Tardif was Blake and Sun.

He had just finished class when he bumped into the idiot. He tried to 'hang out' with him however he wasn't really in the mood. Yet despite making it clear that he was busy. Sun persisted. He eventually got the laughing monkey to stop when he walked into RWBY's dorm. He slammed the door and then proceed to exit through the window. Not caring to answer why he was in the room when Blake was trying to hide from Zwei.

As he made it to the airship. He felt someone poking his shoulder. Looking behind him was Sun… and Blake. Seemed that a wanted poster for Neo fell out of his back pocket when making his escape. Blake told Sun. And Sun and her followed. They now have been following him ever since. Sadly that wasn't the worst part.

"(Loud Yawn) *Board Whimper.)" The scene then focuses on Tardifs head. Zwei had just crawled on top to try and get a better look at the store. It seemed that Zwei had followed Blake and now what was suppose to be a quiet night was a waking nightmare of groan barks and shrivel shrieks. The only reason why he doesn't toss the three from the building is because it will give away his location.

"YA nenavizhu vsekh troikh, idioty." Tardif groans as he rubs his temples.

The view pulls away as the three continue to bicker to Tardifs annoyance. A few buildings away the view slowly reveals that someone was spying on the four through a pair of binoculars. Pulling back, Neo smirks as she takes a bite from her ice cream. She had picked her afternoon treat when she received word from her contact inside the station that a pair of bounty hunters were coming for her. So waiting to see who were next foolish lawman she would kill, she was surprise to see it was those brats and that surprisingly cute mute was there. She was under orders not to kill anyone from Beacon, least not until her boss's plan begins. Still least she can have her fun, specially with the cute one. As gives a smirk she returned to looking through her binoculars. To her surprise, the cute one was gone. She looks around frantically, trying to find him. However as she does so she fails to hear the silent footsteps of the Russian Bounty hunter slowly coming behind her. The only hint she got was the sound of a meat hook being pulled from his bag. Giving a smirk she slowly reaches for her blade, just as Tardif about to hook her like a trout.

With Ruby and Weiss, across town

Ruby and Weiss followed Dismas from a distance. They have been tracking him for some time. He stopped in a few places along the way. Picked up his suit from the dry cleaner, bought some cleaning supplies, and stopped by the Bank. He then sat down in the park before spending hours cleaning his weapons. Around eight he heads for a local clothing store before changing into his tux. He then made his way downtown. Only thing suspicious that either Weiss and Ruby saw was the gleam of Lightning and Thunder under his blazer. Unforntely they could not follow Six into the restaurant. The Bouncer would and will put up a fight. They of course could easily take care of them, but not without alerting the police, Dismas, or this mysterious date. All hope seemed lost till a chef walked out the back for a smoke break. Weiss eager to find out who would interrupt her apologies date with Dismas she quickly rendered the chef unconscious with a quick strike from the back of Myrtenasterv. She quickly removed the poor chefs clothes off before placing them on. However there was one problem. The chef's hair was black… and she was to short to pretend to be this man. Thankfully, Ruby weighs less then she looks.

"I don't think this is a good idea Weiss." Ruby remarks as she puts on the chef double Brest jacket.

"Oh it will. Didn't Yang brag that she managed to sneak you and her into a nightclub with a trench coat and fedora?" Weiss asked as she picked up Ruby and held her on her shoulders.

"Yeah, but she also gave me to grape fruits to use as fake boobs. How on Remnant am it this going to work? I don't even know how to cook veal, or what veal is." Ruby complains as she buttons up.

"Relax Ruby. I can research everything from my scroll. Now, lets find out who this mysterious date is." Weiss said as she disappears behind the oversize pants and button up shirt. Ruby gives one more sigh before placing on a fake mustache made from a plastic comb and pieces of the unconscious chief's toupee. She then place on the chef hat before motioning Weiss to move forward.

The two crookedly moved through the busy kitchen of Un Restaurante Sin Nombre. Surprisingly they were given very few looks from human staff and none from the Faunas staff. Everything seem to work without any problems. So Ruby motioned Weiss toward the door into the restaurant. Looking through the window she see's Dismas sitting silently at a table patiently waiting for someone. After a few moments he reaches into his inner pocket before pulling out a small pocket watch.

"Do you see Dismas?" Weiss asked silently.

"Yeah, he's checking the time." Ruby remarks as she as Dismas placed away his watch.

"Do you see this harlot?" Wiess hissed.

"Um, no…" Ruby remarks but noticed that the receptionist just walked a brunet she had never met before to his table. "Wait, hold on. Yeah someone was just seated with him."

"Describe her." Weiss demanded slightly louder.

"Um, white dress. Brown hair. Peachy skin. I can't see her eyes." Ruby answers.

"Well, what are the two doing?" Weiss insisted.

"They're just talking." Ruby replied.

"About what?" Weiss pressed.

"I don't know. I'm not a Faunas." Ruby whispers only to get a dirty look from a nearby faunas chef.

Before she could even reply the doors were pushed aside by the same receptionist who brought the stranger over to Dismas. Ruby nearly loosed her balance while trying to stand up. As she straightens out the Receptionist turns to her.

"Krieg, are you high or something? We got hungry customers expecting your world renown lava cake. Now get going!" The receptionist barks in an annoyed tone.

"Oh, um…" Ruby remarks in a fake male tone. However the receptionist interrupted her by holding up her hand.

"On second thought, I have an idea." She then grabbed Ruby by her hand and dragged her off. Weiss struggled to hold Ruby on her shoulder as she was pulled toward the pantry. She managed to hold her steady while walking through the kitchen. They stopped by the wine cellar doors. There the receptionist lets go and entered the door. The two waited a few moments before she returned with a bottle of well aged wine. She pulls the cork out before taking a long sip.

"Ahh, well. Since we have the hero of Vale as a guest. Figure we 'Treat' him and that skank to free wine." The receptionist replied before grabbing two wine glasses.

"Um." Ruby remarks in the fake tone as she watches the receptionist spit into both wine glass.

"No matter. Just bring this out to them. We will add it to the bill later." The receptionist remarked as she poured the wine into both glasses. "Now bring this out as something on the house."

"Umm" Was Ruby's response as she was shoved the two glasses along with the bottle.

"What's wrong with you Krieg? You do remember out policy… right Krieg?" The receptions responded with a series tone and a raised brow.

Realizing that saying um won't work Ruby said in a hesitant tone. "Um, Oui.. The customer can go suck it?"

A few moments later the receptionist remarked in a serious tone. "Correct. You are starting to learn the Un Restaurante Sin Nombre way Krieg. Now, go serve him and that skank some Un Restaurante Sin Nombre grade wine."

She then walked off to berate a faunas chef for burning the tuna steak, leaving Ruby to give a sigh of relief. She then grabbed the bottle and then motion Weiss towards the door.

"Well, this is better then expected." Weiss remarks.

"What do you mean?" Ruby asked as she exits out the door into restaurant. "We will be caught… and ruin Dismas date."

"No, we won't. Just act natural." Weiss hissed as they approached the table.

A few minutes before, Dismas POV.

I gave a slight chuckle as 'Śnieg' fixed her wig. I never really knew the extents the press would go to fill their papers. Back home I could barely get a pamphlet with three pages, and it was mostly filled with the obituaries. Here they print just about anything that is mildly scandalous. It was both ridicules and musing at the same time. Still, despite the extremes 'Śnieg' went through to hide her identity it was nice to see her again. From the last time I seen her, she has helped her mother moved into an apartment while assisting her in the divorce forms. She has been recovering much better now that she had faced the Countess Viscount. She even stopped her stutter, and has been able to get a proper nights sleep. We were just talking about the future role of SDC now that Jacques is slowly losing all authority over the company, a chef wobbles out towards us.

"Um, can I help you?" I asked with a brow raised.

"Um, yes. Compliments of the house." The waiter said in a cracked tone before grabbing Winters glass and pouring her a drink. Poorly might I add.

"We didn't order this. Nor intend to drink it." Śnieg, remarked as she gave a disgusted look at the sloshing crimson color of the wine.

"Yes, that and it seems you may have sampled from your own bottle as well." I remarked as the chef spilled more wine on the ground then in my glass.

"I'm… sorry. But it was, instead." The Chef replies as he left the bottle behind. He then seem to struggle back to the kitchen and I could have sworn that he was talking to his waistline as he walked away.

"… what, a peculiar man." I remarked.

"Yes, it seems Un Restaurante Sin Nombre. Standings may have been on the decline." Śnieg remarked as she looked down at the wine. I looked down at mine, and to be honest. It doesn't appeal to me, and I'm guessing neither did it for Śnieg. We both give a knowing nod before taking our glasses in hand. We gave a small tap before pouring it out into potted plants behind us.

We then continued on with our conversation. Uninterrupted for a minutes. However as Śnieg was about to explain how she overcome the setbacks her father set up after joining Atlas Academy, we heard a loud crash of pots from within the kitchen. We looked over our shoulders to see what was that noise, along with the rest of the patrons. Even the music had stopped. Their was no response for a few seconds. After nearly an entire minutes passes by the room returned to normal. They continue to talk,and we returned back to our conversation. Fifteen minutes pass when we were heard another sound coming from the kitchen. This time, it wasa loud gunshot, scream in pain, and a loud screeching noise can be heard from inside the kitchen, this time it got a response from Śnieg.

"What in Monty's name is going on in there?" Śnieg said as she got up from her seat.

"I can ask the same." I comment as I followed her towards the door.

All eyes were on us as we moved towards the door. Something was definitely off as we got closer. I couldn't help but notice something pouring out from underneath the door. Looking down, it was blood. Too much to be a simple kitchen mistake. Motioning Śnieg to look down at the pool of blood, she gives a nod before looking around for a weapon. Meanwhile I just pull out Thunder and made a silent comment for the people to leave. They of course didn't understood what was going on. They were more interested in seeing what was on the other side of the door. I once again try to wave them away but before I could the doors shot open and I was tackled to the ground. The room erupted into screams and customers now begin to rush out of the restaurant. Gunfire can be heard as a few people quickly ran out of kitchen and open fire on them. My vision slowly return to me and that's when I realized that what tackled me was the chef who gave us wine. Now, cut in half. Pushing him aside a bullet nearly grazes me, that is when I realize that the attackers were part of the White Fang.

Five minutes earlier.

3rd POV

Ruby quickly forced Weiss back to the kitchen. She felt that this was too risky, and they need to leave right now. Weiss however was a bit begrudging if anything. Grumbling softly, "We were so close. Turn us back now."

"Shhh, they can still hear us." Ruby whispered.

"Hmmph, whatever. What did they order?" Weiss asked.

"I don't know, I think it's written down somewhere." Ruby remarks.

"Alright, lets find it. Maybe it has their name on it." Weiss suggested.

It was probably the best idea they have. After all, what else can they do? A few people took notice to Ruby whispering to Weiss and gave a strange look at her. It's probably for the best to keep quiet now. However, she is unsure about finding this recipe. This entire thing felt ridicules, and the fact that they haven't been caught yet is even more ridicules. Least, it can't get any worse. Course, she had to mentally say that as she and Weiss enter the kitchen to see something gruesome. All the human chefs were on the ground. Hurling up their guts and shaking violently. The Faunas chefs were putting on WF masks and pulling weapons from hidden compartments.

"Um, what's going on… Ruby?" Weiss asked from underneath the chef's jacket.

"… (Gulp) Trouble." Ruby remarks as the White Fang members just noticed her presence.

After a brief moment of silence one member with a sword quickly swings at her. Ruby couldn't move as quickly but she managed to push Weiss down and herself up just as the sword made contact with the clothes. It cleanly swiped through and the two fell down, crashing with the pots on the side. They fell with a huge crash. Meanwhile with Weiss she went still with shock and fear. Her brain barley had time to realize what just happened but when it did, she couldn't help but keep did the same, the sword had nearly nicked her legs but she was fine overall. Like Weiss she played dead hoping that she can slowly reach for her weapon. After a few moments, the Faunas who attacked her let out a small sigh, before being slapped on the back of the head by another member.

"You idiot!" The first Faunas hissed as she takes away the sword from Faunas she hit.

"Ouch, Really Red? You said no witness?" The Faunas said as he rubs the back of his head.

"I also said no noise. That Highwayman is here. If that wasn't good enough but I also heard a rumor that a Schnee is somewhere here." The Faunas known as Red remarked. "Your Lucky that nobody decided to see what's going on."

As the two silently argued, Ruby eyes move up. She spots the receptionist from before, the one who gave her the wine glass. She was choking on her own vomit a few moments ago, but now she has gone silent. However despite being silent, Ruby couldn't help but notice a twitch in her brow. As she tried to spot that twitch again, a sudden and familiar voice can be heard.

"Now, now. Remember when I said, I will not tolerate distractions or infighting during the operation. It is both unprofessional, and unnecessary." The voice said as a pair of formal decaying ebony black shoes walked into Ruby's view. Slowly looking up in fear Ruby's eyes widen in horror. It was him… The Butler. "Normally I would discipline you two through mutilation, but not when we are this close. So, I'll leave the two with a warning that should either one bicker that you will be left in the gutter. Lifeless, and drained."

The two Faunas give a small gulp in fear before saying in sync. "Yes, sir. Sorry."

"Good, now. Since we only have a brief window to collect the Highwayman and his guest. I have tainted the wine with a powerful sedative, that should render them unconscious. Team B. will storm in from the front within ten minutes from now. Once the fire fight begins collect the two. That is most important above anything. Even your own safety. Failure to do so, will result in your immediate termination. Am I clear?" The Butler finished as he wipes blood off the counter before placing it in his mouth, causing the WF members to shiver in fear. They all give a terrified nod as a response.

"Excellent, now then we shall begin… (Sniff, Sniff) Hmm, this is strange." The Butler muses as he raised his pointy nose upwards.

"W-What is it… sir?" A nervous Faunas asked.

"I smell, Anglo-blood. But it is also smothered by something else. Not the corrosive smell of powder, but of strawberries." The Butler remarked as he gives another sniff before looking down at Ruby. "And of, chocolate… chip."

As Ruby's mind slowly went into over drive, she fails to notice the reception's brow was moving again. This time however the upper brow split open to reveal a set of blacken spider like eyes. A small croaking noise soon left its lips as the Butler gives a small smirk, saying in an eerie tone. "Hello again, darling."
