A/N: Welcome to another installment of My Turn!
Well, it's Friday…just not the Friday I wanted.
*sigh* Goddamn it...
Anyway, last we left off, Beacon Security did their preliminary checks of the academy.
They were…relatively normal.
I swear, kids these days need to keep it in their pants.
Also, I chatted with the heavenly Buddha. Nice little throwback to the first chapter of this story, since we're about four days away from the one-year anniversary of this story.
Also…my god, that Weiss character short! It was awesome! And Winter was in it, too! Man, her eyes somehow became more beautiful than ever. Weiss is beautiful as well, of course. Can't forget who that character short was about in the first place. Though some of the things that Winter apparently did in it make me wonder as to whether or not she has more than just her Semblance for power.
Perhaps something…magical? A power that is linked to her first name?
Who knows? (kinda hoping not; otherwise, I may have to retcon a few things because I will DEFINITELY use it if it's true)
Funnily enough, this chapter may or may not have been influenced by how much I enjoyed Weiss' character short. What do I mean, you ask? Read for yourself.
Now, without further ado, on with the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY.
(Ozpin POV; Headmaster's Office)
I took a long sip of my seventh cup of coffee.
…
…
If you think that's bad, you should see how much Profes- I'm sorry, Doctor Oobleck drinks.
What's more, he sometimes uses his own weapon as a coffee thermos.
Makes me wonder if he unknowingly consumes some of his own ammo when he drinks from it.
Then again, it might explain his…eccentricity.
Of course, my colleagues will say that the only true eccentric one is myself. Which I find rather offensive, actually. They're essentially saying I'm weird….
I'm not weird.
BRRRING. BRRRING.
And now someone is calling me. And it's Oobleck, no less.
Funny, we were jus- I mean, I was just discussing him. To myself.
And no one else.
Which is not weird. Therefore, I am not an eccentric man. And I dare you readers to prove me wrong.
"Yes, Bart?" I answered.
"Ah, yes, Ozpin! Wonderful that you answered! I just had a run in with our resident hall monitor."
"Please tell me she gave you detention."
"Haha! Yes, that would've been quite amusing had that been the case."
Blast. Had she done that, I could've had it caught on camera….
I have cameras everywhere, you see. Even in the classrooms.
"No, she was just suspicious about my open classroom and chose to investigate. Honestly, Ozpin, I thought you had been joking about the child being a hall monitor."
"Is it a problem?"
"Not really, no. I'm sure you know what you're doing. At least, I should hope so."
Psh. Me not knowing what I'm doing? What does he think this is? Professor Arc?
"Of course, now I owe Peter forty Lien."
"That's what you get for doubting me."
Oobleck merely grunted.
Never doubt the headmaster, my friend.
"By the way, why did the child have a baton and a Taser?"
"Her father got them for her."
Silence was what I received….
"Oobleck?"
"A father…gave his child…a bludgeoning weapon and gun?"
I could hear the deadpan in his voice.
"If it helps, the gun is a stun gun."
"It doesn't."
I chuckled. "Well, if you want an explanation for it, all you'll get from the man is, 'this is a school filled with super-powered hormonal teenagers. My daughter needs these.'"
…
…
"Well, when he puts it like that, I can hardly fault the man."
"Indeed."
Bart chuckled. "Well, that's all I needed to clarify. If you'll excuse me, I need to honor the bet and pay peter his forty Lien. Otherwise, he'll hound me about it until the end of time."
I smiled. "Quite. Good day to you, Oobleck."
"Good day to you, headmaster."
Oobleck hung up.
I took another sip of my coffee.
…
…
Well, I suppose the school day should get started now, shouldn't it?
(My POV; Security Lounge)
And here we all are, again. The security lounge….
Still shitty. Just like it was when we first got here.
"Alright," Winter said. "Report, all of you."
"Courtyard's clear," Amber said. "Nothing amiss or out of the ordinary."
"Auditorium's clear," Qrow grunted. "A stage light fell from the ceiling, though."
Winter raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
"Yeah. Kinda indirectly my fault, really."
Winter deadpanned. "Oh, I can't wait to hear this."
"My Semblance basically makes me a bad luck charm, so stuff like that may tend to happen. Just felt like you all should know."
Qrow's Semblance is bad luck?
…
…
Damn, that's…that's completely unfair. Why would a guy like Qrow have that as his Semblance? Sure, he can (presumably) turn into a crow, and crows don't exactly scream "good luck", but still.
"I see," Winter hummed in thought. "I shall keep that in mind for future reference."
She turned her gaze to Vert. "And you?"
"Found a used condom in the ballroom. Other than that, nothing amiss."
Winter and Amber cringed in disgust at that.
"What's a condom?" Violet asked.
"NOTHING!" all of us shouted.
Violet pouted, rubbing her ears. "You didn't have to yell~."
Whoops.
Vert turned to me. "In any case, weren't you the one that was supposed to keep that kind of activity from happening that night?"
I shrunk under everyone's gaze.
"…I'm only human?"
They deadpanned.
"Well, I am!"
They still deadpanned.
I slumped.
Goddamn it.
Violet walked up to me and pat my knee in comfort.
"It's okay, Daddy. I'll always be here for you."
…Sniff, sniff. My little angel.
I picked her up and hugged her.
"You're the only one I can rely on, my little bunny!" I cried out overdramatically.
Violet giggled.
Everyone else either rolled their eyes or chuckled at the scene.
Winter cleared her throat. "Let's get back on track, now."
I set Violet down and she went back to her table.
"Now, then, anything to report Colt?"
I shrugged. "Not really. Just found some strange notes. And a used condom stuck under a table."
Winter and Amber once again cringed in disgust.
"Yeah, I'm starting to lose my perception of Beacon being a prestigious academy."
Qrow scoffed. "Please. So what a few people decided to get it on? It's a part of life. And I have several inappropriate stories that prove it."
Winter rolled her eyes. "Of course you do."
Violet tilted her head. "What does the meanie mean by 'get it on'?"
"NOTHING!" we all yelled again.
Violet muttered. "Again. Didn't need to yell."
Winter shook her head and went back to me. "What were the notes about?"
"…They're really not worth repeating."
"Colt-."
"Seriously."
Winter sighed. "Were they in any way some form a threat?"
I thought back to the notes….
"Not really, no."
Not even the one that said about making a profit by blowing up schools. That one's just ridiculous. I mean, the person writing it seemed like he/she was drunk, if the chicken-scratch style of writing was anything to go by.
"Very well," Winter said. "And you, Violet?"
"I met Doctor Coffee Man!"
…Everyone turned to stare at the little bunny girl.
"What?" Winter asked.
"Yeah, he teaches history. Also, he's not an actual doctor. Something about a higher education or something."
So Violet met Professor Oobleck, huh?
"What was he like?" I asked.
She scrunched up her face. "He was weird."
…Yeah. Sounds about right.
Winter looked amused. "Anything else out of the ordinary?"
"The class doors are too big."
I imagined Violet near those doors and let out a small laugh.
"Anything else?" Winter asked. "Nothing amiss?"
"No. But the hallways look the same. If those room numbers and windows for outside weren't there, someone could get lost!"
Qrow shrugged. "That's architecture for you."
"If you say so, Meanie."
"It's Qrow, kid."
"Right. Meanie."
Qrow grumbled to himself while Winter smirked.
And now Qrow's nickname is Meanie….
Qrow seriously needs to patch things up with Violet at some point. Sure, he was a bit of an asshole, but he had somewhat of a good reason for it.
"Now then," Winter continued. "It's time for what we will be doing for the day."
And here we go.
"Colt, you'll be in the security room for the day."
Huh. I get to start off easy….
I can dig it.
"Vert, you will patrol the outer area connecting the school to the Emerald Forest. While it is unlikely that a Grimm will try something, it's best to be on guard."
Vert grunted.
"Amber, you will be monitoring the courtyard again. Is that alright with you?"
She shrugged. "I don't mind."
Winter nodded. "Right. Qrow, you will be monitoring the dormitories."
Qrow grunted and took a sip of his flask.
"Violet will, of course, be patrolling the halls in the main building."
"I hope I get to taze someone!"
…
…
Winter raised her little gavel. "All those favor of blaming Colt for his daughter making that statement, say 'aye'."
"Aye," said Qrow, Vert, Amber, and Winter.
AYE!
"N-Nay?" I stuttered weakly.
Violet just fiddled with her Taser.
"Motion carried," Winter declared, banging the gavel.
Another picture frame fell with a crack.
Her eye twitched.
I slumped.
I'm a good father, damn it.
Winter cleared her throat. "As for Neo-."
I CAN HANG WITH COLT IN THE SECURITY ROOM.
She smirked.
I'M SURE HE WOULDN'T MIND THE COMPANY.
…She's not wrong.
Winter frowned. "No, you will be with me this time."
…Well, if that's not a fun pair, I don't know what is.
Neo gave her own frown.
SO I GET STUCK WITH THE ICE QUEEN, HUH?
Winter glared at Qrow, who raised his hands.
"Hey, I didn't say anything to her."
IT'S JUST A NATURAL NICKNAME ANYONE WOULD COME UP WITH.
…Again, she's not wrong.
Winter scowled. "Regardless, you will be under my watch this time."
WHATEVER.
Winter grit her teeth.
I really hope Neo doesn't start a fight with her. That might not end well in terms of collateral damage. Not sure if it would be as much as with Qrow vs. Winter, but….
Huh, now that I think about it, how would a Neo vs. Winter fight go? Has that ever been a thing in fanfiction? Did anyone ever think to do that? Who would even win that fight?
Not really able to ponder that little mystery further, since Winter spoke again.
"Right, then. Now, it is best we get to our assigned duties."
And now to officially start my role as security guard.
(Security Camera Room)
"Now, this is your station for the day. You will monitor all screens at all times. If you find something suspicious, report it immediately."
I doubt anything will happen on the first day.
Also, there's a lot of video screens here. I'm not even joking. I'll count them in a bit, though.
"This room is already keyed to the scrolls of those within the detail," Winter said. "Should you be forced to leave, then you can lock the room by placing your scroll against the lock. Only our scrolls can lock and unlock the security room."
"Does that include Neo?" I asked.
She deadpanned.
That's a negative.
"Just felt like I should ask."
Shaking her head, she continued. "Will you be able to handle this, Colt?"
"Relax," I said. "It's just watching a bunch of screens. How hard can it be?"
She huffed. "Well, considering how most people fall asleep doing this sort of monitoring, then quite difficult apparently."
…That's a valid point, actually.
I shrugged. "I'll be fine."
She gave me a stern glare. "You'd better. If I find that you've fallen asleep on the jo-."
"I've got this. Really."
She nodded. "Very well."
Winter stepped out of the security room. "Good luck, Colt."
She was gone.
…
…
No, Colt. She's your superior, now. It literally can't happen.
Closing the door and locking it, I took a seat in front of all the security feeds.
Well, time to count.
Let's see…there's fifteen in a row and ten in a column. Which means….
150 cameras.
…While a lot, I somehow expected more.
Still…that's a lot of screens that I need to keep track of.
I checked the time.
8:05 in the morning.
And I have to watch them all until after the lunch period is over later….
Eh. I can manage, I think.
I sat back and glanced at some of the feeds. Most were empty, while others showed random students walking by. A few showed random stuff, though.
One showed a group of first years gathering around a certain area, recording something with their scrolls.
Ever so curious, I quickly pulled out the "How to work the video feed" manual.
Alright, just push this to view at a different angle. And that to zoom.
I was greeted with the sight of what appeared to be a third-year student chained to a tree, holding a sign that said, "Trees are people, too!" Across from that student, a man with a chainsaw was rubbing his eyes in annoyance.
…
…
Emperor Palpatine was right. Hippies suck ass in every galaxy.
Well, at least they're finally bringing some bolt cutters. With nothing to chain the guy down, they dragged him away kicking and screaming.
Shaking my head, I looked at another video screen that showed Cardin Winchester trying to impress some ladies by flexing his muscles. The girls deadpanned and walked away.
Hah. That'll teach that bully/racist. No women for you!
I turned to a different video feed. This one was showing the inside of the main building.
The view? Violet.
Aw, look at her! In her little uniform. Riding a big wheel trike (which I had asked Vert to get for her). Right now she's just sitting there, looking bored. Guess some students naturally knew better than to cause trouble on the first day of school.
Oh well, I'm sure she'll crack down on some trouble making students at some point.
With a sigh, I leaned back to get comfortable.
This was gonna be a long morning.
(Violet POV; Random Hallway)
…
…
I'm bored.
I thought there'd be some students making some sort of trouble. Then I could chase them down! Maybe tase them, too.
But nope. Everyone's being good students.
Phooey….
Wait a minute.
My bunny ears twitched as I picked up the sounds of rapid footsteps.
Can it be?
I turned my head down the hallway I was in….
Only to find eight students run past me.
…
…
My eyes narrowed.
"Runners."
Officer Violet is on the case!
I quickly got on my big wheel trike and pedaled like my life depended on it.
I pulled out my scroll, pretending I was talking to someone.
"This is Officer Violet! I am in pursuit of eight runners."
I spoke in a deeper voice. "Roger that, sweetie. Just be careful. Also, I'll be buying you all the carrot cake you want when you're done."
I beamed, going back to my regular voice. "Thank you, Daddy!"
Putting my scroll away, I chased after the hooligans that dare to run in my hallway.
I turned on the siren.
(Weiss POV)
Great. Just great.
First, Ruby unnecessarily blows a whistle right into my ear (twice, I might add), then comes up with the idea to turn our beds into bunk beds (I always wanted bunk beds, but these were completely unsafe!), and now we're running late to class.
I turned to see Team JNPR running along with us.
I feel bad for Pyrrha. She's running late as well. Probably because of her team leader too.
I scowled.
Stupid, scraggly blonde. Can't even tell I was being sarcastic when I was complementing him the other day. Now he'll just keep hitting on me. Like all those suitors my father kept trying to match me with.
Stupid Father. Trying to control my life. This life is mine, damn it!
…Hmm, that actually sounds like it could be a good song to help vent. I should keep it in mind.
What were we doing again?
Oh right, running late to class….
Stupid me. Letting my mind wander like that.
Oh well. So long as nothing happens, we should make it to class on ti-.
BWEEEEEEEEP! BIP, BIP. BEEEEEEEEEP!
Is that a siren?
My team and JNPR come to a halt real quick and turned at the sound.
What we found…was both confusing and absolutely adorable!
…Ahem. I did not gush just now….
A-Anyway, what we found was a little bunny girl in a police uniform chasing after us on a big wheel trike, a siren blaring from the front. The girl turned the wheel of her bike so that she could slide in a semi-circle and stop right in front of us.
…Right. Violet's a hall monitor.
I admit, I thought it had been a joke.
Apparently not.
Violet stepped off the trike and moved towards us, tapping her baton against her palm.
What possessed her father to even allow this child a bludgeoning weapon, let alone a Taser, is beyond me.
"So," Violet began. "What's the big hurry?"
"Hi, Violet!" Ruby waved.
"Answer the question, please."
Ruby winced a bit. So did I, to be honest. It was odd for someone as young as Violet to sound so…professional.
I quickly stepped up. "Yes, well, we were running late for class and needed to run from our dormitories to here. And our rooms aren't exactly at the bottom floor, so we needed to hurry."
Violet pursed her lips, taking in what I just said.
…
…
"You were running."
I blinked. "…Y-Yes, we needed, and still do, need to get to class on ti-."
"You were running. In my halls."
She took out a notepad and pen. "I'm afraid I'll have to write you all up."
We gawked at her.
"C-Come on, Vi," Yang tried. "It's the first day! Surely you can just-."
"Names, please."
"V-Violet," Ruby tried as well. "I think this is a bit mu-."
"Names, please."
"Look," I said. "I understand the need to enforce the rules, but right now-."
"Names. Please."
…She wasn't budging on this.
Ruby sighed. "Ruby Rose."
…Darn it.
"Weiss Schnee."
"Blake Belladonna."
"Yang Xiao Long."
"J-Jaune Arc."
"Pyrrha Nikos."
"Lie Ren."
"NORA!"
All of us, including Violet, rubbed our ears.
"You didn't have to yell," Violet said. "How rude."
Nora rubbed her head. "Eheh. Sorry."
"Good. Last name, please."
"V-Valkyrie."
Nodding, Violet wrote our names down on her notepad in eight different sheets, then pulled out all eight. She handed one to each of us.
We gawked at what was written. "D-Detention?!"
"Yup! One day. With Doctor Coffee Man!"
We blinked, with Jaune asking, "W-Who?"
"You'll know him as Profe, I mean, Doctor Oobleck. A professor of history. But I just call him Doctor Coffee Man."
She gave us a stern look. "Don't run in the halls again."
The bell rang.
"And now you're all late for class. For shame."
The nerve of-!
"That's because of you!" I exclaimed, pointing at her.
She frowned. "I'm only doing my job as hall monitor. If you have a problem with that, feel free to file a complaint to Beacon Security or the Headmaster."
I grit my teeth. "Now see here! I'm one to follow the rules, but I don't seem to recall detention being the punishment for first time offenders!"
"Yay, Weiss," Ruby mumbled. "Way to make us sound like we're criminals."
I ignored her. "If anything, we should be given a verbal or written warning! Not detention! Especially for something as silly as running in the halls!"
Violet's frown deepened. "…You think that's silly, huh?"
She crossed her arms. "These halls are an important part of this academy. And they, along with hall rules, must be treated with the utmost respect! Running in them is the opposite of what you were doing."
"It's just a hall!" I argued.
"A hall that must not be disrespected."
Violet glared. "And quite frankly, it's not the only thing being disrespected right now."
I scoffed. "You want respect? Get back to me when I'm speaking to an adult rather than a child."
My team and JNPR gawked at me, but I refused to move my gaze from Violet's.
She remained silent.
…
…
"Everyone but Miss Schnee can leave. I need to speak to her privately."
You know what? No.
"I refuse," I stated. "I have better things to do than to continue arguing with a child."
I moved to pass her, but she stepped in my way.
"Move out of the way, Violet."
"Nope."
I scowled. "Seriously. I have class to attend to."
"You should have thought of that before talking back to an officer."
"You're not an officer! You're a hall monitor!"
She pulled out her badge. "Do you see this badge?"
I just glared at her.
"This badge shows that I hold a position of authority. Of which you are currently going against."
I crossed my arms. "Well then, I don't recognize you as a person of authority."
I leaned forward to look her in the eye. "What do you have to say to that?"
…
…
"Can I see your hands for a minute?"
I blinked. "What?"
"Your hands. Both of them, please."
"…Why?"
"Do you want to leave?"
"Very much, yes."
"Then show me your hands so I can search your sleeves."
I blinked again. Why on Remnant would she think I'd have something up my sleeves?
No matter. If that's what it took to end this stupid charade, then I'll gladly comply. If only to show her how ridiculous she was being about her role as hall monitor. As well as making assumptions about whether I'm hiding something in my sleeves.
I stretched out my arms towards Violet.
CLICK-CLICK.
I blinked.
What the-?
"You're under arrest!"
I looked down to see a pair of handcuffs around my wrists.
…What?
"If you resist, I'll have to bring out Mr. Taser!"
…What?
I turned to see the others had shocked looks on their faces, but Nora and Yang were the only ones actually laughing.
I gave a heated glare to Violet. "Release me this instant!"
"Nope."
"This is an abuse of power!"
"No, it's not."
"Yes, it is!"
"Are you resisting? Do I need to bring out Mr. Taser?"
"You know what? Go ahead! You won't actually-."
Suddenly, my entire body convulsed, electricity shooting through it.
I fell to the ground a moment later, completely dazed.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-?"
(Violet POV)
…I gave her fair warning. I really did.
I sighed and looked to the shocked students. "You seven better get to class. Unless you'd like to meet Mr. Taser yourselves?"
I activated it a bit to prove my point.
They shook their heads immediately.
"Good. Then get going."
Ruby looked at her dazed partner. "What about Weiss?"
"You can leave her with me. You can pick her up after class."
I wrote down a location and handed the note to Ruby. "You can pick her up, here."
Ruby just stared at the note. "…A-Are you sure you can't just-?"
"Mr. Taser, I'd like to introduce you to-."
"N-Never mind! See you later!"
RBY and JNPR ran past me, intent on getting to class. And also probably to get away from Mr. Taser. Not that I blame them.
With a sigh, I dragged Weiss by the cuffs. She was mumbling random nonsense. I took the hook from the back of my trike and hooked it to her cuffs.
I got on the trike and began pedaling in the opposite direction, dragging Weiss along the ground as she sputtered nonsense.
My first troublemakers. And one of them even resisted my authority.
…
…
This was a good morning.
(My POV)
…
…
This is fucking boring.
I now understand why security guards usually fall asleep in these rooms.
I pulled out my scroll. Guess I'll just make use of the Wi-Fi, then.
Let's see, the password was "Beacon", but replace the "e" with a "3" and add a pound symbol at the end.
As I was about to input the password, my eye caught one of the video feeds.
Violet was standing next to a large cardboard box that had been re-purposed into a jail cell, if the word "JAIL" written in different colors was anything to go by. While that rightly confused me, that isn't what caught me off guard.
It was the person in the cell.
Weiss Schnee.
And she looked pissed.
What the hell did I miss?
I rewound the cameras and found the one that featured Violet and Teams RWBY and JNPR. Apparently, she caught them running in the halls….
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that.
Watching the feed, she gave them each detention (on the first day, I might add), and Weiss and Violet had gotten into a little argument, which resulted in Weiss tasing the heiress and dragging her from behind her trike across the ground in handcuffs.
…
…
"PFHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- w-whoa!"
I fell back on my chair after laughing so hard. N-Not that anyone would blame me. I mean, that was hysterical! I mean, I feel bad that Weiss got tased and all, but still. Funny as shit!
I chuckled madly as I sat back up and regarded the video feed.
Weiss didn't look pissed anymore.
Now, she looked…sad.
…
…
Goddamn it.
With a sigh, I got up and reset the cameras back to normal. I stepped out of the room and locked it behind me.
Guess I'll see if I can bail her out.
Heh…bailing out Weiss Schnee from jail.
Never knew that could happen.
Let's see if I can fix that.
(A few minutes later)
"Hi Daddy!"
I smiled as I approached my waving daughter and a miserable looking Weiss.
Honestly, it was hilarious seeing Weiss in a box like this. Especially cause it was a "jail cell".
Weiss Schnee in jail. Stop the presses.
I stood before them. "Hello, Miss Schnee."
She glared at me. "Tell your daughter to release me this instant!"
"Hey!" Violet shouted. "No making demands, troublemaker!"
"I'm not a troublemaker! I'm the most responsible person in this school!"
"No talking back to the hall monitor!"
"I'm not talking back to a hall monitor. I'm talking back to a child!"
"See, Daddy? No respect for authority!"
"I do have respect for authority! You're just not an authority figure! Only a child playing pretend!"
"…You're a meanie."
"Deal with it."
Okay, this is getting out of hand.
"Violet, can I talk to her?" I ask.
Violet nodded. "Sure. Just be careful. She's a meanie."
"Like Qrow?"
"Oh no. Meanie's way worse than Weiss."
She sighed disappointingly. "Still, after meeting Snow Lady, I thought Weiss would be like Snow Lady. Guess not."
Weiss blinked. "Snow Lady?"
"Winter," I said.
"…O-Oh."
Oh right. Weiss looks up to Winter. And to be told that she's nothing like Winter…not that Weiss is trying to be like Winter, but still. I imagine she'd want at least a few of her older sister's qualities. And to be told that she doesn't, by a child no less….
"Violet, why don't you go patrol for a bit? I'll make sure Weiss doesn't escape."
"…Mmkay. I'll be back!"
Violet skipped to her big wheel trike and got on it, pedaling down the hallway on Weiss' left.
When she turned a corner, I sat down across from the "jail cell".
We stared at each other for a bit.
…
…
"First off, name's Colt. Colt Remington."
She frowned. "Weiss Schnee."
"I know. I've met your sister, and she's mentioned you."
Weiss narrowed her eyes. "Yes…."
I feel like she's judging me or something. For what, I don't know.
"Look, Wei- can I call you Weiss?"
"…You may."
"Okay, Weiss…maybe you could try to be, I don't know, nicer?"
"I am nice!"
I deadpanned.
"…W-When I want to be."
Right.
"Look," I began. "I can understand how ridiculous it might be for a kid to be a hall monitor in a school for Huntsman and Huntresses, but it's something that's happening and that you'll have to accept."
"But, she's a child?"
I pursed my lips. "Well…to be honest, we just made her hall monitor so that she'd have something to do. God knows she'd get bored being stuck in a room all day. Probably wander around on her own. At least this way, I'm aware of where she is and what she does."
"Can't you just get a babysitter?"
"The only people I trust with my daughter are all here and are busy doing their own thing, and I don't plan on hiring a complete stranger to do it. Besides, Violet and I pretty much live here, so getting a babysitter to come all the way over here is a bit moot."
Weiss' brow furrowed. "…I suppose you make a valid point."
"Thanks."
"But why arm her, then? It's not exactly good parenting to give your daughter a bludgeoning weapon and a Taser."
I deadpanned. "This is a school filled with super-powered hormonal teenagers. You expect me to let my daughter patrol the halls without a way to defend herself?"
"It's not that ba-."
"Several people literally tried to get it on the night before Initiation."
"…" She had no counter to that.
"Plus, I don't imagine some of the students here think highly of the Faunus. So said people might try to bully her."
CRDL, or at least Cardin (not sure how the rest of the team really are), come to mind.
"By the way…am I gonna have to expect some problems between you and my daughter?"
Weiss blinked. "W-Well, I'm still miffed about being put in this 'cell', but-."
"I'm not talking about what just happened."
I gestured above my head and made ears out of my fingers.
"…O-Oh."
I stared her down. "Because I'm not exactly keen about people who choose to either bully or insult my daughter over her species. And if it turns out you disrespected her for-."
"T-That isn't the case, I swear!"
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
She nodded. "Y-Yes. I don't have any negative feelings towards your daughter…other than annoyance at the moment."
"I can understand that. Just had to be sure it wasn't because you might be a bigot."
I tilted my head. "Which begs the question…are you?"
"…N-No."
"You hesitated."
She winced.
"Well?"
She wrapped her arms around her legs. "I just…p-perhaps I don't have the highest opinion of the Faunus."
"Because of the White Fang, right?"
Anger encompassed her face. "…Yes."
I frowned. "I'd hope you know that not all Faunus are bad. Or in the White Fang for that matter. Cause if not, and at some point in the future you actually think someone like Violet could be working for those idiots-."
She scowled and looked to the side. "I've already heard that enough. I don't need for it to be repeated."
Her scowl became a frown. "And despite my views, I'm not about to accuse a child of being a terrorist. Frankly, I'm insulted you would even think that."
"I'm her father," I said. "I have to look out for her from everyone and everything. That includes people who may be…discriminatory."
A glare formed as she turned to me. "I'm not discriminatory! I'm a victim!"
I blinked.
…A little early for this, but oh well.
"It's none of your business," she continued. "But let me state just why I hate the White Fang. Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus in spite of you and some close people otherwise."
She took a deep breath. "It's because they've been at war with my family for years. War, Mr. Remington. As in actual bloodshed. My grandfather's company has had a target painted across its back for as long as I can remember. And ever since I was a child, I've watched family friends disappear. Board members executed. An entire train car full of Dust, stolen. And every day, my father would come home furious."
Her hands tightened to fists, her knuckles whitening. "And believe me when I say that it made for a very difficult childhood, Mr. Remington."
Oh, I believe her. I doubt she'd lie about something like that.
"But even so-."
"No!" Weiss shouted.
I stayed silent, already knowing what she'd say next.
"You want to know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they're a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!"
We just stared at each other. One calmly, the other in anger.
…
…
"While I can't really be sure about the 'liars and thieves' part," I finally said. "I guess I can't really argue the whole 'murderer' bit."
Weiss scoffed. "How would you know?"
"Considering they attacked my village and killed a few people before the rest were wiped out by Grimm, I think I know pretty well."
She remained deadly silent at that.
"Now," I continued. "I'm not saying this to vindicate you, cause I don't completely blame them for what happened."
She gave me a shocked look. "W-What? H-How can you not fully blame them?!"
Cause I know who was really behind that attack.
"Let's just say there were others involved."
I shook my head. "Anyway, while I didn't have a rough childhood like you, I know what it's like to lose people to those idiots."
Weiss furrowed her brow. "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because unlike you, I'm not hating an entire species for the actions of a few."
Too many movies or books have shown this. Not to mention actual events (past or current) back on Earth.
Weiss frowned. "But-."
"Let me put it like this," I said. "Do you think it would be unfair if some or most people thought you, or even Winter, were exactly like your father because you both are a Schnee and his children?"
Weiss bristled at that. "…Yes."
"And all the Faunus not in the White Fang. They might think you or Winter are like your father. Therefore, they may bear hate towards you two. Is that unfair? Hating on you two for the actions of one?"
"…Yes."
She actually chuckled. "It's already happening, actually. The sins of the father will be visited upon the children."
…I think that was in the Bible or something.
"Where'd you hear that?" I asked.
She shrugged. "Just an old saying."
Huh….
"In any case," I continued. "My point is this: an entire species shouldn't be blamed because of a few idiots. That's just unfair bullshit."
"Language!"
I deadpanned. "Really?"
She shrugged.
I sighed. "Anyway, while I'm not asking to just fully trust the Faunus like that, don't go completely distrusting them, either. There're some good ones out there."
Weiss gave a small smile. "Like Violet?"
"And her older sister, Velvet."
Weiss looked confused. "You have two daughters?"
"No," I chuckled. "Just one. Violet had been separated from her family years ago, and I adopted her outside the Kingdom."
She blinked. "How does that work?"
"A bunch of legal jargon bullshit that I still don't know how it got approved by the law."
"Language!"
First Violet. Then Ruby. And now Weiss.
Will people just let me swear in peace?
"Anyway, it's not all bad. Violet gets to see her sister here at Beacon. Speaking of which, if you ever manage to meet Velvet, I think you'll find that she's nothing like the White Fang."
"Velvet's a student?"
"A second year, to be exact."
Weiss huffed. "Great. She has seniority over me."
"I don't think she's the type to hold that over someone's head."
"And you would know?"
I raised an eyebrow.
"Right, you adopted her little sister. Of course, you've met her."
I chuckled, then checked my scroll. "So, how long are you supposed to stay in here?"
"For two class periods," Weiss grumbled. "I've already been here for nearly one."
Hmm….
I called Violet.
"Hello?"
"Violet? Could you come back here for a minute? Need to talk to you."
"Has the prisoner given you any trouble?"
I nearly laughed at Weiss being referred to as a "prisoner".
"No. She's been on her best behavior."
"Good! I'll be over in a bit."
She hung up.
Weiss raised an eyebrow. "What was that about?"
I smirked. "I'm gonna see about getting you out of here."
She went wide-eyed. "R-Really?"
"Yup, but first-."
I stared at her. "You don't hold any discriminatory feelings towards my daughter, do you?"
"N-No! We just went over this!"
"Just being sure."
She looked away with a frown. "A-And besides…i-it's hard to hold something against her."
"Oh? Why?"
"W-Well…s-she's…S-SHE'S JUST SO ADORABLE! I WANT TO HUG HER SO BAD! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! CAN I HUG HER?! PLEASE?!"
I blinked at her animated state.
…
…
"Who are you, and what have you done with Weiss Schnee?"
She blinked…then flushed red in embarrassment.
"T-That didn't happen."
Oh yes, it did. It's on camera, too. I'm so getting that footage when I get back to the room.
The sound of pedaling made me and Weiss turn to see Violet riding down on her big wheel trike. She slid to a stop beside us. She stepped off and looked up at me.
"What is it, Daddy?"
"Well, sweetie, I was wondering if there was any way of getting Weiss out of jail."
Weiss whimpered a bit when I said it like that.
Heh.
Violet frowned. "You want to bail her out?"
…Oh right. Jail. You either serve your sentence, or are bailed out (if the option is available).
"Sure. Why not?"
"…Mmkay."
Violet moved to the little desk next to the cell and pulled out a sheet of scratch paper and handed it to me.
"Fill out that form, please."
I blinked and stared at the paper.
Everything was written in crayon, and it asked for little yet basic information: the name of the one in "jail", the name(s) of the one(s) bailing the person out, the date of birth for bailer(s) and bailee, what Kingdom they were born in, and a line at the bottom to indicate where the bailer(s) should put their signature(s).
I turned to stare at my daughter. "…I think you're taking this way too seriously."
"Fill it out, please."
Wow. Who knew my daughter could sound so professional?
With a sigh, I filled out the form.
As I signed it, I asked, "How come Winter isn't here to bail you out, Weiss?"
Violet answered before Weiss could. "She begged me not to tell her sister. I don't know why, though."
Yeah, I imagine she doesn't want Winter catching wind of this. Knowing that woman, she'd never let her sister hear the end of it.
I handed the form to Violet. "Here you go."
Violet looked it over…and nodded. "Right. Now for the bail payment."
"…Huh?" both Weiss and I asked.
Violet handed me a yellow note.
I looked at it…and just stared.
BAIL: 3 CARROTS
…
…
I showed it to Weiss, who just facepalmed.
I turned to Violet. "Um…I don't have any carrots right now."
Violet frowned. "I see…then Weiss can't leave until she serves her time."
I think Weiss was crying anime tears.
I frowned. "Can't you just let her out on good behavior?"
"You obviously don't know how she was acting before you got here."
I gave Weiss a raised eyebrow, and she looked away sheepishly.
I sighed. "Well…what would she have to do to get out for good behavior?"
Violet tapped her chin in thought.
…
…
"She needs to apologize. For being mean to me, disrespecting me, and disregarding my authority."
Simple enough. However….
I turned to Weiss. "Would you be willing to do that?"
I know Weiss has her pride and all, but she needs to tone it back a bit if-.
"Of course."
…Huh. That was easier than I thought it'd be.
Violet stepped in front of the cell, crossing her arms.
"I'm waiting."
Weiss bit her lip…then sighed.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being mean to you and disrespecting you like I did. It was uncalled for and undeserved. I guess it's going to be part of the norm for you to be the hall monitor of Beacon. I have to respect that and the authority given to you. And if there's one thing I intend to uphold as a Schnee, it's to respect those in authority."
She bowed her head. "Please accept my humblest apologies.
…Wow. That was really classy.
Violet stared at Weiss through the bars….
She beamed. "Okay! You can go."
She lifted the box and flipped it over, allowing Weiss to stand up.
Weiss smiled gratefully and curtsied a bit. "Thank you…officer."
Violet giggled.
I smiled….
That smile turned mischievous.
I got on one knee and whispered in Violet's ear.
Violet looked confused…then understood and nodded.
She stepped towards Weiss, who raised an eyebrow.
"Yes?"
…Violet spread out her arms.
"Hug?"
(Weiss POV)
…
…
…
…
…
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(My POV)
I snickered and grinned into my hand as Weiss hugged Violet with all her might, cooing and spouting about how adorable my daughter was.
Violet simply giggled and hugged back.
That's now two pieces of video footage I need to get when I get back.
I checked my scroll. "I think the class period is about to end."
Violet let out a hum. "I guess you should get back to your team then."
"…"
"Weiss?"
"Let the hug laaaasssst."
I snickered again. "C-Come on, Weiss. Put my daughter down. You'll be seeing her around the academy."
With a pout and great reluctance, Weiss put Violet down.
Weiss turned to me. "Would you mind walking with me, Mr. Remington? I'd like to talk to you once more about something."
I shrugged. "Sure. Gotta get back to the security room, anyway."
I smiled. "And by the way, you can call me Colt, if you want. I'm not one for professionalism."
"You're a member of the staff. Therefore-."
"I'm just a security guard. Plus, I don't see you calling Winter 'Miss Schnee'."
"She's my sister! Besides, Miss Schnee is our mother."
…Huh, so they do have a mother. Good to know. Usually, the mother is dead in fanfics.
"Shouldn't it be Mrs. Schnee, though?" I asked. "I mean, she's obviously married."
Weiss frowned deeply. "Sometimes she wishes she wasn't. Hence wanting to be referred to as Miss Schnee."
"...I mean, if she hadn't, then you or Winter wouldn't be around."
"Hence why she sometimes wishes she hadn't married Father. Even though she's hardly around."
Weiss' mood seemed to sour...should probably change the topic, then.
"In any case, you can just forgo any professionalism in our names. We kinds bonded a few moments ago, after all."
Her mood brightened somewhat and she spoke in an almost amused tone.
"Did we, now?"
I shrugged with a small smile. "I'd like to think so, yes. Besides, I just got you out of jail-."
"Technically, I got myself out by apologizing."
"And I got you a hug from my daughter."
She turned a slight red as she huffed. "I didn't ask for a hug from your daughter."
"You did, actually."
She winced. "…A-Again, that never happened."
Whatever you say.
"In any case," I said. "two of your teammates, which includes your leader, will probably just call me by my first name, so you may as well do the same."
…Weiss smiled.
"Very well…Colt."
Weiss turned and bowed a bit to Violet. "I'll see you around, Violet."
"Bye, Snow Girl!"
Weiss blinked. "Excuse me?"
"Well, Winter is Snow Lady, and you're her younger sister, so yeah. Snow Girl."
Weiss blinked and turned to me.
I shrugged. "Just go with it. She sticks to whatever nickname she comes up with."
"Um…okay?"
We both began walking away.
"Bye, Daddy! Snow Girl!"
I waved behind me while Weiss turned and sent a beaming smile to Violet before facing forward again.
(A few minutes later)
Weiss and I strolled down the hallway in a comfortable silence as the minutes ticked by for the first class period to end Which was the class that RWBY and JNPR had been running late for…and got detention trying to get there on time.
It's still funny to think about.
"What's so funny?" Weiss asked.
I shook my head with a smile. "Nothing, just…my daughter gave you all detention and put the heiress to the SDC in 'jail'."
Weiss deadpanned. "Ah, yes. I'm sure it's quite amusing to think about."
"It totally is."
Weiss rolled her eyes.
Eh, let her have her own opinion. It's funny whether she likes it or not.
"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked.
She hummed nonchalantly. "It's about my sister, actually."
Winter?
"Something up?" I asked.
"Maybe…."
She stopped, causing me to stop as well.
She turned to me with narrowed eyes. "How exactly do you know Winter?"
I blinked. "…Well, her ship crashed near my home. I went to investigate and found her unharmed. Some White Fang were after her, but she, Vert, and I took them down."
She tilted her head. "And that's another matter. How do you know the Vert Bowman?"
"He's my mentor."
She stared at me in shock. "He trained you?!"
"Yeah. And still is. Been doing so for over three years now."
To quote Ruby, I was complete garbage before he took me under his wing. And now, I'm *insert karate noises here*.
She blinked. "W-Wow…what's it like?"
"…You ever heard of Hell?"
"I'm familiar with that term, yes."
"Think of that, only a hundred times worse."
"It can't be that bad."
I deadpanned.
"S-Surely not?"
I deadpanned even more.
"I-I mean, he can't be that tough on someone since he's quite ol-."
I quickly covered her mouth. "SSSHHH! Do you want Vert to kick your ass?! Cause he will if you call him old! Regardless of who you are."
Weiss slowly removed my hand from her mouth, then slapped it.
"Ow!" I rubbed my hand. "Why?!"
"Don't you know never to put your hands on a lady?"
…Goddamn it.
Weiss shook her head. "In any case, I suppose that will suffice about Vert. What I really want to know is…."
She stepped towards me and stared up at me, which was a bit funny cause she's a whole foot shorter than me.
"What are you to my sister?"
"…I beg your pardon?"
"You heard me."
I pursed my lips in thought. "…Well, we're friends. At least, I'd like to think so."
We've only had a few conversations since meeting the day before Initiation, and there was that mock spar we had, but I'm not sure if it's enough to constitute a friendship….
Not knowing this is what happens when you're anti-social for most of your first life.
"Just friends?" she pressed on. "Nothing more?"
"Um…yes?"
…
…
Weiss nodded. "Good. Then I won't have to run my rapier through your gut."
…What?
"Excuse me?" I asked.
"Because if it turned out there was something going on between you and my sister, we would be having a very different conversation right now. One involving weapons and the possible piercing of flesh."
…What?
"So glad to know that isn't the case," she beamed.
That smile didn't look right, somehow.
"After all, I certainly wouldn't want Winter to be with someone I don't approve of."
"…Isn't it usually the older sibling that says something like that?"
"Yes, but my sister is practically the only family I care about."
That actually shocked me a bit. I mean, I suppose she'd have something against her father, but her mother, too?
"What about your mother?"
She frowned deeply. "She…she's just never around. Choosing to drown herself in wine. She's there, but she's not there for me or Winter. Or even Whitley, though I can't exactly blame her on that account. He's unbearable."
I blinked. "Who's Whitley?"
"My younger brother…I'd rather not talk about him."
So a mother and a younger brother….
The more you know.
"And Father?" she chuckled dryly. "I believe I can say there's no love between us. No matter what he may say or do."
…That's just…wow.
Is the Schnee family really that much of a broken family?
I'd give Weiss a hug, but that would be inappropriate and may result in a knee to the nuts.
I'll just have Violet hug her again. She'll enjoy that.
"All that being said," Weiss continued. "Winter is truly the only family I can rely on. Someone I trust completely. I care for her. And I'm simply looking out for her, even if that's the older sibling's duty."
…I think I like Weiss and Winter's bond more than I do Ruby and Yang's.
"So in conclusion," Weiss finished. "I don't approve of you."
I blinked. "Didn't we just bond a few moments ago?"
"Again, did we?"
…
…
Oh well. Not like I was trying to get her approval, anyway. I mean, it's not like me and Winter would've ever been a thing.
I've entertained the idea a few times in my head, but realistically….
Eh, just forget it.
"Okay," I sighed. "You're disapproval has been noted."
She nodded with a smile. "Perfect."
She suddenly looked scary. "And if you even try to make a move on her, you'll find my weapon stabbed through where it hurts most on a man."
She put on a beaming smile. "Is that clear?"
…
…
I took a shaky step away from the scary Huntress-in-training before me.
"C-Crystal."
"Wonderful!"
She gave me a curtsy. "Now, if you'll excuse me-."
The bell rang.
"I need to rejoin my team."
She moved down the hallway as students began filling the area, completely unaware of the scary shit that just happened. I just stood there, watching the Ice Queen of Beacon stroll nonchalantly through the crowd.
…
…
This is why men consider women scary.
I sighed.
Oh well. Back to the security room, I go.
(Weiss POV)
Hmm…perhaps I went too far with Colt? Or perhaps not far enough?
…
…
Nope. It was just right.
"Weeeeeeiiiiiiiissssssssss!"
I stopped and blinked.
Oh look, it's Rub- ACK!
I stumbled backwards as Ruby basically tackle-hugged me.
"Are you okay? How did it feel to get tased? Were you actually sent to jail? Do you have a record now?"
I took a deep breath (don't know how since Ruby was hugging me rather tightly) and let it out.
"Ruby. Get off."
There was a brief pause before Ruby scrambled off me, an embarrassed blush on her face.
"Eheh…sorry."
I sighed. "It's fine, I suppose."
Blake and Yang caught up a moment later.
"And to answer your questions: I'm fine; it was quite the shock, no pun intended, I'm looking at you, Yang; I was, in fact, put in a 'jail cell' that was really just an oversized cardboard box; and no, I don't have a record."
My team was silent as they processed my responses….
"So, Weiss-cream," Yang smirked. "How was life in the slammer?"
I frowned at the nickname….
Well, if she truly wants to burn-.
"Why, Yang," I smirked. "I would think someone like you would know already."
…
…
Yang's smirk widened. "So the rich girl can bite back. Good comeback."
"Thank you."
…
…
"In all seriousness, though, if you actually do know, I didn't mean to offen-."
"Relax." Yang waved me off. "You didn't. And I don't."
Ruby deadpanned. "You almost did, once."
"How was I supposed to know that guy would take it personally?!"
"He owned the club, Yang! How was he not supposed to take it personally?! And you're lucky Colt managed to stop you from crashing that second club! You wouldn't have gotten lucky a second time!"
Colt stopped Yang from trashing a club, huh? Interesting….
Still don't approve of him for my sister, though.
I watched as Ruby and Yang bickered, while Blake was content to stand next to me and enjoy the show.
"Ruby took these for you."
I blinked as Blake handed me some papers. I overlooked them.
Three that were stapled together was a syllabus for the class I had missed. The rest was what appeared to be handwritten notes.
"The professor had decided to give a small lecture after going over the syllabus. We all took our own notes, but Ruby wrote what she could twice so that you'd have your own copy."
I blinked and looked up to stare at Ruby, who was currently caught in Yang's chokehold, her face turning blue.
She took notes for me?
"I also ask that you give Ruby Rose a chance. I doubt Ozpin would make her team leader without good reason."
…
…
I smiled a bit.
Perhaps Winter was right….
"Yang," Blake said. "Your sister's unconscious."
Yang blinked and looked down to find this was true.
"Oh crap!"
She quickly turned Ruby around, shaking her quite a bit.
"Ruby, wake up! Speak to me, dear sister! Don't go into the light!"
"I'm pretty sure shaking her is making it worse."
"You don't know that!"
"You'd be surprised at what I know."
I stifled a giggle as Yang continued to shake her unconscious sister, whose soul was floating out of her body like a ghost….
I'm sure that's just my imagination.
I smiled.
Maybe being with these three won't be so bad, after all?
(My POV)
I closed the door to the security room and sighed.
Well, that happened….
But now-.
I quickly moved to the security feeds and rewound to the time when Weiss hugged Violet as though she were a doll.
I smirked as I re-watched the scene.
She thinks she can just scare me like that? Let's see how she likes it if I hold this particular moment over her head.
I quickly made a copy of that footage and downloaded it to my scroll.
Finishing that, I sat on the chair and leaned back.
With any luck, it'll be smooth sailing for the rest of my time in this roo-.
My scroll rang.
I checked the ID and answered. "Amber?"
"Colt? You may want to come down to the courtyard."
"…Why?"
"See for yourself."
Confused, I enhanced the feed that took place in the courtyard, only to find-.
…
…
I sighed.
Really? I can't just sit in this room in peace?
"Any reason why you haven't done anything about it?"
"They're going all out, right now. And I can't risk using my powers…also, I'm hesitant to get in the middle of this."
Of course she is.
I slumped back as I stared at what was apparently Winter and Neo going at each other with their weapons and possibly Semblances, while Amber was just watching at the side.
…
…
Goddamn it.
A/N: And there you go.
…
…
Yeah, this is gonna be a three-parter. Not to worry, though! The third part will come on Tuesday. Why? Because one-year anniversary. Also, there may or may not be an extra bit added to the end of it. You'll just have to wait and see.
So yeah…Weiss is scary. And our bonding moment apparently didn't lessen that.
Oh well. Also, she is now Snow Girl to Violet. How cute!
And Winter and Neo are apparently fighting. Why? Find out next time on Dragon Ball-.
Violet: Daddy, that joke is used enough as it is. Don't add to it.
…Phooey.
But yeah, next chapter will feature a battle of the ships! Cold Steel vs. Silencer! With Guardian on the sideline…who may or may not get involved. Only I know.
Anyway…OMAKE!
Omake: Weiss' New "Training"
It was a dark night at Beacon Academy, the courtyard clear of anyone except for two white-haired siblings.
The music from her character short was playing as Weiss readied her weapon.
A snowstorm circled around her.
Weiss stood still as her enemies began to form around her.
One slowly stalked towards her.
This enemy, however, was not a Grimm. Not were the others.
This was a human. Dressed in a security outfit and shining white-blue.
The enemy charged at Weiss, his Gladius and riot shield at hand.
Weiss stabbed the enemy through the mouth, the summon disappearing.
More enemies charged. Weiss dispatched them with ease.
One, she stabbed multiple times in the midsection before ending his existence. Another, by slicing off his left arm, then right, then legs, then head. All while ending up in a ballerina stance.
She decapitated several more of the summons.
Some snow appeared to rush at Weiss, but she dodged to the left.
She wasn't finished, yet.
Weiss stabbed several more enemies and decapitated others before another pile of snow rushed towards her.
She dodged again.
One more enemy appeared, only he didn't charge yet. He collapsed his riot shield and transformed his Gladius into a small scythe. He drew the other and did the same.
Weiss immediately charged, but the enemy parried and fought back. It was a tough battle, but Weiss managed to get the upper hand by launching the enemy into the air with a glyph, hold him there with several more, then jumped into a newly formed speed glyph.
Weiss sped down, impaling the enemy to the ground.
Through his manhood, she might add.
The enemy stared up at Weiss with a pained expression.
"W-Why~?" it seemed to ask.
"Because you slept with my sister, Mr. Remington."
She slowly removed her rapier from the enemy's manhood, eliciting a whimper of actual pain.
"I gave you fair warning."
With that, Weiss impaled the enemy's head, ending it's existence.
Cleaning her weapon of nonexistent blood, Weiss turned at the sound of heels clicking against the ground.
Winter stood before her, her eyes dripping mascara due to excessive crying.
"Weiss…why would you make me do that?
"I gave him fair warning. And since he's dead, I needed to exact my wrath, somehow. And since he technically died because of you, you would be able to summon him."
Weiss let out a happy sigh. "Vengeance complete!"
With that, Weiss skipped away, content with her "training".
Winter fell to her knees with a sob.
Meanwhile, the ghost of Colt Remington just stared at the scene….
"H-How?!"
The heavenly Buddha appeared.
"Well…ever hear the phrase "death by snu snu"?
"Yeah, I heard it in Futurama, where the guys would be killed by having too much sex with those Amazons or whatever they were."
…
…
"Oh god, no-."
"Well," Buddha said. "You only did it once, but it put a strain on your heart. Kinda like in that show 1000 Ways to Die, where the number one way is to die during sex."
He pat Colt's shoulder. "Sorry, my friend. But hey! You did it with Winter! Even if it killed you!"
Colt just stared.
…
…
…
…
…
"FUCK!"
…
…
…
Yeah, if it wasn't clear from the chapter and the omake, Weiss doesn't approve of Colt/Winter. Not yet, at least.
Hope that doesn't discourage you Cold Steel shippers. In fact, I imagine you'll be waiting for Cold Steel to be "Weiss-approved".
Heh.
By the way…I now realize that I've been in denial this entire time. Why? Well, let's see….
Harem (genre): Basically when multiple people are interested in a single protagonist.
And take a look at this from the Wikipedia page for Harem (genre):
"When it is present, it is always a minimum of three supporting characters who express romantic interest in the protagonist."
Let's see….
Protagonist - Colt Remington.
Supporting characters expressing romantic interest - Winter, Amber, and Neo. (I only use these three because they have a real chance. Coco and Velvet seem more like joke ships to me now.)
…
…
Yeah, whether I like it or not, this story has a harem in it. Ergo, I've written a harem story. And when I think of my intense dislike of harems, when I've essentially written one for "myself"….
FUCK! I knew I should've thought the pairing more through instead of being indecisive!
…
…
Oh well. Even if this is a harem story, there won't be a harem ending. I still stand by my stance on that matter. Single pairing only. Who is…still not decided, despite what was in this chapter.
I'm probably being overdramatic, but I just felt I needed to get this out in the open.
If you liked this and want to be kept up to date, be sure to follow and fav. Leave a review while you're at it! I'd love to hear from you guys.
See you in the next update.
LATERS!
