" Neo, please, talk to me." pleaded Ruby.

No. I was not talking to you. Nor to the rest of team RWBY or team JNPR.

They just went through the coolest food fight ever.

And I was forced to sit out.

I mean, I couldn't use aura to make food into makeshift weapons. Even my semblance didn't want to consider anything edible as weapons.

Except military rations. Those things are nasty.

And I'm not explaining how I knew that.

Anyways. I was forced to get out of the building. I didn't want to get knocked out by an aura enhanced watermelon.

That'd be humiliating.

So I was sulking. In the library. With a kilogram of ice-cream Ruby had bought to try and mend things over while they played 'Kingdoms of Remnant : The board game'.

I knew, however, that Weiss had been the one paying for the treat I was eating right now, so, seeing as she had never played before, I decided to help her.

Except a mute trying to help means I was mostly playing in her stead. Sure, she questionned my decisions, but any intelligent subordinate would.

Well, at least she was starting to learn.

Ruby had just gotten her Atlesian fleet destroyed by a Nevermore. So we took her fleet for ourselves and sent a sandstorm on Mistral, played by Yang.

Who played a trap card.

Now Ruby, Weiss and I were crying in a group hug. We were so close to winning, only to lose it all.

The monkey boy, Sun Wukong, came in with a blue-haired guy. His friend apparently. He introduced himself as Neptune, and hit on Weiss.

He was gonna get iced.

" Nice to meet you". was Weiss' answer.

Seriously ? That worked ?

I took a good look at the guy, judging him.

If he thought I was going to let my all-you-can-eat-ice-cream-for-free card without a fight he was thoroughly mistaken.

But I was willing to give him a chance. I made a sign

Let me be clear, if you being with her means she buys me less ice-cream we are going to fight.

" Hey !" said Weiss, her face growing red, " I am not your credit card."

No, but you are Ruby's credit card. And I am going to milk her for all the ice-cream I can get.

" Neo ! I knew you would forgive me ! " said Ruby as she tackled me.

Well. No more ice-cream today. Drats.

" I think I'm going to stop here." said Blake, leaving.

I grabbed her cards and started playing her turn.

The hell ? She kept so many good cards ! And there wasn't a single trap card left in play too !

Easy win.
