Luckily the rest of the night went off without any real hitches. There were a few guys who thought they could muscle their way in or bribe me, but I'd prefer to keep myself clean, and one show of strength or intimidation was enough to get rowdy people from getting to many ideas.
After a while people started to exit from the club, I saw that the members of team CFVY were among them, with Coco being clearly over her limits, mumbling incoherently as she was carried by Yatsuhashi.
Velvet gave me a shy nod on her way out, to which I responded with a smile and a wave. I didn't really see the need to be too aggressive with her or others like her, especially when my size alone is a big intimidation factor.
After a while another guy came up to me, wearing the getup that signified him as one of my new fellow coworkers, he gave me a quick tap on the shoulder and pointed inside.
"You're shifts over, I'll take it from here."
"Got it." I uttered. I have to admit that despite the fact that not much happened other than the Schnee, I was pretty tired, and even more hungry.
Dear lord, I just realized that I haven't eaten anything in like two and a half days. I made my way up to Junior, who was looking exhausted himself as he was wiping down the counters.
"Hey boss, I'm gonna head out and get myself some grub." I said, getting a nod from him. I was about to turn around but he reached into his pocket and pulled out a twenty out of his pocket.
"Get something for the girls for when they wake up. They won't be too picky as long as its not burgers." He said, handing me the bill.
"Got it boss man. See ya." I said as I made my way out of the club, looking for a place to get some breakfast. I was lucky that those crooks from the factory had fat wallets. Guess crime really does pay, just not for them.
I found my way to this rickety old taco shack that had a few hungover looking people chowing down on some burritos and tacos. I made my way over the short line, and was surprised at the two who were standing in front of me.
I have no idea how a well-known thief and criminal can walk around in public with his ice cream girlfriend while making no attempts to disguise himself. What is this, Blaze Blue?
In my mental rant, it seemed I got the attention of the duo in front of me, of which the shorter ice cream cone looked up at me with an exited expression.
"… Can I help you?" I asked, to which it was Roman who responded.
"You're one of Juniors boys, right? You're quite a bit bigger than his usual mooks." He said, looking mostly at the suit that I hadn't changed out of.
"Yeah." I admitted, "I just finished my shift and decided to get some grub, for me and for the twins." I said, as the small girl's eyes shifted from the Neapolitan colors repeatedly, with an excited smile on her face.
There was a pause in the air, before Neo grabbed onto my suit jacket, before leaping up onto my shoulders. She then proceeded to give a silent giddy up motion, causing Roman to give an embarrassed sigh.
"Neo, can you not act like an actual 6-year-old for once?" He said, more tired than angry, which in turn caused Neo to stick her tongue out at him, depressingly getting off of me.
"Sorry about that big guy. Neo can be a little thoughtless every now and then." He said, as the shorter girl then kicked him in the shin with a pout, though it was like he didn't notice. I just gave a shrug in response.
"Hey, it doesn't bother me too much. Just ask next time." I said, looking back to the ice cream themed girl, who noticeably perked up at that.
"You guys gonna order or are you gonna hold up a line?" The old guy at the counter of the shack. Wait, why does he look like the clerk from the dust store and noodle stand?
I proceeded to order and eat in silence, while Neo and Roman had some more banter in front of me. I had ordered a few tacos for myself, and some breakfast burritos for the twins.
"So, big guy." Roman said, bringing attention to me.
"What's a guy like you doing working for Junior? You planning to work your way up his ranks?"
"Nah, this is just my current gig. I have bigger hopes for the future." I said, taking another taco and biting into it. This is really good, it's like my sixth one. Neo then tugged on Roman's sleeve, grabbing his attention.
She gave him this look, which he apparently understood. He's probably spent so much time around him that he can practically read his mind.
"Neo wants to know what you have planned." He said, making me think for a moment as I took a long sip of my soda.
What did I want? Obviously to stop Vale from being destroyed. Then what? Destroy the Grimm? Maybe. How do I go around doing that? I would need more than just me. I would need to gather an army, or maybe more.
"For now, I'm hoping to start up a private security force. I'll figure out the rest from there." I said, which seemed to satisfy the two.
We parted ways shortly after that, with Neo seeming a little sad at separating. All in all, I'm surprised at how well that went. Am I in some sort of alternate universe version of Rwby, or is that just how they are when aren't being villains? Whatever the reason was, I'm glad that no fists were thrown.

Internet famous? What does that- oh wait, Coco said she was going to post that clip of me interacting with the Schnee right? Well, I hope it's the good kind of fame.
"Hey Blake!" yelled out a White Fang member to the black-haired cat faunus.
"What is it?" She asked, the other faunus looked like he had been laughing hysterically. He pulled out his scroll and showed her a video.
"Right. Sorry, but I can't let you in. You'll need to go somewhere else." It was a large man in a suit. Despite his size, he looked young, maybe even around the same age as her. In front of him was someone who she instantly recognized, Whitely Schnee. She felt her blood boil slightly looking at him.
She became even more upset when he threw a punch. Do the Schnee truly have no respect for anyone? Why do they think they can get away with treating people like this?
She was surprise that the bouncer started moving into his fist, rather than trying to dodge. It landed right into his face, but it didn't seem to do anything to him. He then responded to the Schnee's fist with his own, firing it off like a bullet. The next moment the person recording the exchange accidentally covered the camera with their thumb, and a series of sympathetic sounds came out from the people around them.
Whitely Schnee, a boy who seemed to be growing into a clone of his monster of a father, was now laying on the grown clutching his bleeding nose as he looked up at the bouncer with fear.
"Get out of here brat, before I call the cops and have to embarrass you more." He said ruffly. He then looked up, looking straight into the camera. Blake could tell that he had a 'done' look in his eyes, the kind that she's seem in those who've had enough from what their dealing with. She's mostly seen it in people who insulted the faunus in the old White Fang rallies from when she was a kid. To have that looked directed at a Schnee.
"Do you want me to call an ambulance or do you want to head to the hospital yourself?" He then asked. Even with that look, he still was will to offer aid? Why? He clearly didn't like the boy he was looking at, so why would he offer him aid?
The video ended on that note, and the other faunus moved his scroll feed down to the video comments.
You're up against the wall and I am the fucking wall!
You got knocked the fuck out man!
He he the Schnee got punched.
What a nuisance of a kid. Hope that the Schnee lawyers don't go after him.
The guy was holding back. He didn't follow through with his punch and the kid still got a bloody nose. Either the Schnee are weak or that guys got a monster swing.
"Ha Ha! Ah man that's hilarious! I gotta show this to Adam!" the other faunus said as he left. Leaving Blake filled with quite a few questions, and even more curiosity.
