Sun: Weiss and Yang broke up. You're welcome.
Blake: Sun, what did you do?
Sun: Nothing! That's the weird part. Yang turned out to be cheating on her with a whole bunch of people.
Blake: Yang would never do that. She's too loyal.
Sun: What's the problem? They're broken up. Go get her. QED.
Blake: I don't think you know what QED means.
Sun: Whatever. The point is that you are stopping yourself from being happy because you're too worried about maybe getting your heart broken. We're still in school! This isn't going to last forever! Live a little!
Read 12:41 PM.
Sun frowns at his scroll, feeling a little offended. Blake leaves him on read all the time, but this time he was actually trying to help her.
There are two things that Blake might be doing right now. She could be holing up in the library to cry some more, or she could be trying to fight someone. Blake doesn't exactly have a wide range of healthy ways to express her emotions.
That's two bad things that could be happening, and it's very important that it get stopped immediately.
Sun: Can you check on Team RWBY?
Jaune: Why?
Sun: Classified.
With that, he races off towards the library, reasonably confident that nobody's going to get seriously injured.
…
Sun would like to revise his previous assumption and point out that people falling out of windows, and possibly getting deliberately shoved out of them, is difficult to predict, and as such was not included in the original model of the situation.
…
Pyrrha is absolutely done with whatever Nora and Yang are doing. Half the school was dragged into a staged breakup, and this has to stop. Pyrrha is a responsible human being, and it's her job as the only sane person here to make them stop.
She leads Nora into Team RWBY's dorm with promises of food, because it'll be easier to only confront people once. Pyrrha is still not a confrontational person.
Yang is at her desk (a rarity, some nasty and fed-up part of Pyrrha thinks). Weiss is there too, which is good because she clearly got talked into playing along too. And, for some reason, Jaune is there, standing awkwardly in the corner and shuffling his hands around. He'll have to hear all the accusations sooner or later, and it might as well be now.
"Everyone, we need to talk," Pyrrha says, flattening her back against the exit. Nobody's getting out of here until they work things out.
"Then talk," Weiss says, and Pyrrha sighs. They're hostile from the start, so this will be difficult.
"I know about your plots," Pyrrha says. Weiss raises an eyebrow, but nobody confesses further. Ah, well.
"I know that you three started some long and complicated plan to convince the school that Weiss is gay, and that she's dating Yang, and then stage a breakup." Yang opens her mouth and Pyrrha shushes her. "I know your methods, but I need a motive. Why would you do any of this? Initially, I thought it was Nora's misguided scheme to get Jaune to give up on Weiss, but this is too insane even for her."
Pyrrha pauses to let someone explain. Nobody does. They all look baffled.
"Playing dumb won't help you now," she tries. Nora finally speaks.
"We were plotting?" she asks. "When did that happen? Did I just forget that I planned something that cool?"
"Uh, no," Weiss says. "Pyrrha, Yang and I did deceive some people, but Nora had nothing to do with it."
"We wouldn't have had to deceive anyone if you hadn't screwed up," Yang mutters.
"Well, the deceiving was your idea!"
"Settle down," Pyrrha tells them, and they (reluctantly) do. "Why did you deceive everyone?"
"Because Weiss made everyone think we were dating, so we had to stage a breakup to get people off our backs," Yang says. Weiss splutters indignantly.
"Enough. We have a mystery to solve," Pyrrha says in her most authoritative tone. She's about to continue with the questioning when Nora jumps in.
"Yes, we do. Can I ask the questions now? Since we're a fearless team of detectives?"
"Sure."
"So if you weren't dating, then why did I see you two kissing?" Nora demands.
Oh, no. For once Nora turned out to be telling the truth, if the way Weiss and Yang are both blushing and trying to hide their faces is any indication. And now Pyrrha's been working under the assumption that there was a grand conspiracy going on, just to get her together with Jaune. Of course that's stupid. Her friends are crazy, but they wouldn't go to that much trouble to do something for her.
"Look, we were drunk –" Yang starts, and Weiss cuts in.
"She started it!"
"We were drunk and it was a casual, friendship thing," Yang repeats. "And why'd you see us? It was like 2 AM."
"Oh, Blake asked me to spy on you," Nora says, like it's the most normal thing in the world. The plot thickens. "She said to keep an eye on the two of you and report what you did, except I didn't have a chance to tell her because she's been running away from everyone, and she told me not to mention it to anyone – oh. Oops. Don't tell her I told anyone, okay?"
Weiss smacks her hand into her forehead. Yang seems to be lost in thought. Jaune is just standing awkwardly in the corner, slowly moving towards the door. And Pyrrha needs a chance to question Nora in earnest and then go confront Blake, without all these people who seem to have solving the mystery as the farthest thing from their minds.
"All right, meeting over," Pyrrha says, and Jaune breathes a sigh of relief and bolts for the door, only to be flattened against the wall when it opens to reveal Ruby.
"Weiss said there was a team meeting about important stuff," she says, then notices the fact that half of her own team is missing and most of Team JNPR are there. "I guess it's just a meeting, but what's the important stuff?"
Yang makes a sound that is best approximated by a sack of kittens wailing, and Nora cheerfully starts explaining, starting with her own spying and quickly moving on to the important theoretical question of whether when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, the immovable object is going to break.
"You kissed Weiss too?" Ruby gives Yang an attempt at a disapproving frown. "Yang, I love you, but maybe stop kissing your teammates, considering how many problems it's caused."
"'Too'? What's that supposed to mean?" Yang asks, eyebrows knitting together in confusion.
"I mean, you told me you kissed Blake – wait, did you? Yeah, that's what you told me."
"Ruby, I never told you that. And I didn't kiss Blake, for that matter."
"But then why was Blake so upset?" Ruby asks.
"Well, I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation," Pyrrha says, but she doubts anybody can hear her over Nora suggesting that Blake's behavior has been affected by aliens and Weiss demanding to know why nobody tells her anything.
"Does Blake know we kissed?" Yang demands, physically shaking Nora. "Tell me if you told Blake."
There's a chorus of "no'"s, and Yang sinks down onto her bed again.
"So we're back where we started," she says. "We still don't know what's wrong with Blake, and she won't talk to us."
"Well, she's probably upset because she knows you two kissed," Nora starts, and Yang turns to her, eyes flashing red.
"How would she know? That's right, she can't possibly know because nobody told her! So shut up and let me think!"
"She was spying on you, so she probably saw you kiss," Nora points out. When Yang gives her a look of utter bewilderment, she adds, "I said I didn't tell her. I never said she didn't know. You're the only one with bad logic here."
"Shit," Yang says, then stands up. "I'm going to go find Blake."
She disappears out the door before Pyrrha can even say "Maybe that's not a great idea" or "You're not in a good emotional state to be confronting anyone" or "you don't even know where she is."
"Oh, right, I knew all of that," Weiss says, rather belatedly. "I figured everything out a while ago."
"Mhm, sure," Ruby says. "If you knew, why didn't you say something earlier?"
"I thought I had a solution, and then the solution backfired, and I was too busy trying to fix the collateral damage!" Weiss snaps. Pyrrha takes the opportunity she sees, which is to quietly make her way back to her dorm and stop being involved in pointless conflict. If things work out for Team RWBY, good for them. If not, Pyrrha might have to work out some schemes of her own.
