Vale shopping district, day

Team RWHBY were walking through town, though Weiss was a bit more excited than the rest.

"The Vytal Festival, oh this is absolutely wonderful!"

"I don't think i've ever seen you smile Weiss, it's kinda freaking me out."

"How could you not smile? It's a festival dedicated to the world! There will be dancing, and parades, and a tournament. The amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is just breathtaking."

"You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring."

"Quiet you."

This was an odd experience for Dominic. "This kind of reminds me of our relationship. Oh you mean how you say dumb crap and how I call you out, or how you forget stuff and I act like a glorified Siri." This brought a bit of attention to him from his teammates.

"Why do you always talk to yourself?" Weiss asked. Maybe it was related to his semblance?

Dominic just said something that Weiss couldn't understand. "Come ti sei fatto quella cicatrice?" Anyone who can translate this, respond in the reviews.

They keep walking and see a shop with broken windows.

"What happened here?"

"Dust shop robbery, second one this week."

They then overhear a couple of detectives talking about the White Fang. Weiss was especially disgusted.

"The White Fang, what a bunch of degenerates."

"What's your problem?" Blake responded.

"I just don't care for the criminally insane."

'Well, that's just hurtful.' Dominic thought. Dominic tuned out the argument until Weiss bit off a bit more than she could chew.

"Those faunus only know how to lie, cheat, and steal!"

Dominic, to vent, caused a lightning strike somewhere.

Afterwards, they heard a man yell "Hey, stop that faunus!" They turn and see a monkey faunus run from the boat.

"No good stowaway!"

"A no good stowaway would have been caught, i'm a great stowaway!" The faunus says before jumping onto the docks. He ran through the street, winking at Blake in the process.

They begin to chase the boy until Weiss accidentally ran into an orange haired girl. For some reason, Dominic got a headache. It didn't go away until the strange girl, now named Penny, left.

At least until she came back. 'Why? I don't know, there's no reason for her to give you a headache unless she had obscene amounts of metal on her.'

"You wouldn't happen to be here because of the tournament, would you?" He asked. If she was then she might have a weapon with a lot of metal, like Coco. Dominic fainted the first time he met her.

"Yeah, i'm combat ready!" Penny exclaimed.

"Forgive me but you hardly look the part." Weiss said.

Dominic decided to butt in. "Okay, I know a guy who always fights in nothing but white gloves and a pair of sneakers. And he's won almost every fight he's been in." This statement was completely ignored.

"Wait if you're here for the tournament, does that mean that you know that monkey-tailed rapscallion!?" Weiss said. Dominic's body temp went up a bit.

"Who?" Penny was confused.

"The filthy faunus from the boat!" Weiss got out a crudely drawn picture. The surrounding temperature increased. Blake began to get angry as well.

"Why do you keep saying that?! Stop calling him a rapscallion, stop calling him a degenerate, he's a person!" She said in outrage, gaining suspicion from Dominic.

This started a fight that lasted all the way until nightfall. Dominic couldn't stand the noise, so he went to his teammate's dorm.

"MAYBE WE WERE TIRED OF BEING PUSHED AROUND!" Was the last thing he heard before Blake ran out of the room. Thankfully, nobody saw him. Dominic followed her to the huntsman statue. She looked at the grimm, relating to it in a way. She took off her bow, confirming Dominic's suspicions.

Blake was a faunus.
