For as much as things have changed, mostly everything was still the same. The only real tangible evidence that a certain man was now dating Blake and Weiss simultaneously was that he started hanging around Team RWBY marginally more than normal. Despite having slept with two of them, he had already been good friends with RWBY on account of dating Weiss; sure it's only been a few days since this whole situation kicked off, but yeah, the only difference was that Blake occupied the spot next to him at meals while Weiss kept her place at the other. A very astute someone might notice that Blake was a lot more cheerful and affectionate around him, but he doubts anyone would guess they were poly.

It's been only a few days since the man slept with Weiss and a little less since he had with Blake. The two of them shared the basics of how their afternoon together had gone; under the guise of an errand, they had gone to the apartment, undressed each other, and got their first tastes of oral sex before cleaning up and going home. So, he had had sex with Weiss, and with Blake. Weiss and Blake have slept with each other. All that was left to really cement the relationship was…

Weiss had made it pretty clear that she wasn't quite ready for a threesome. Sex was still a strange topic with her, and she needed just a bit more time acclimating and recovering from losing her virginity, both male and female. She'd made good progress, being more open about talking about sex and her interests, plus she'd happily kissed Blake a few times behind closed doors, but there was still her notions of shame that, thankfully, were quickly being overwritten. Blake, having a more sex-positive view, had no issues giving a quick peck, but thought Weiss needed more time before she told her about her pet play fetish. Weiss also needed a little while to go public; the relevant members of RWBY still didn't know that the three were dating just yet. Not wanting to draw further attention to anything, the man, Weiss, and Blake decided to hold off on any more apartment trips for the moment until all were ready.

"Oh, hey! What's up?" Yang asks, derailing the man's thoughts as he passes by. She was stationed on a couch in the common room, messing around with some wires and cables.

"Nothing. Just killing time. What are you doing?"

Yang looks at her mess. "I was gonna set up my console and play in here for a bit until the party. There's been a group of people who keep stealing this place and not letting anyone use it the past couple of days, so I've been chosen as the sacrifice to keep it ours. I'll suffer, but someone needs to chill here unless you want to have New Year's in our dorm room."

"Makes sense. Glad to see direct action."

"I've been trying to get the tv to watch a movie with the rest of RWBY since we got back, but nah, they just sit around not even using it!" Yang says, annoyed at the selfishness of the other team. "You already have a dorm room! I wanna watch horror movies and anime and not hunch over a laptop!" She notices she was ranting, pauses, and asks, "Like, total dicks, agreed?"

"They are kinda dicks."

"So here I am, suffering alone until the party."

The party in question was the New Year's Eve celebration; the usual group would have a little social before the ball dropped, then enjoy the fireworks. It was pretty much another excuse to drink alcohol, eat snacks, and wear cheap plastic glasses, but it'd be fun. Plus, the common room had a huge window looking out towards downtown, so there'd be a great view of the fireworks. Yang was already dressed in a cute midriff-exposing blouse and painted-on jeans, so she was already ready to celebrate.

"We all have our burdens to bear, Yang."

Yang grins. "I mean… I don't HAVE to be alone; just, Ruby's tired of getting her ass kicked in Savage Streets, Blake isn't up for another bet, and Weiss can barely even understand what a controller is. You're welcome to join me if Weiss hasn't roped you into taking her to a coffee shop today."

"I happen to like coffee." That said, now that Weiss' idea of a date is becoming a meme, it might be good to branch out a bit more. The man wonders what sort of new stuff to do with her, plus now Blake; Blake probably wouldn't enjoy going on the same date a million times, and it was a good time to freshen things up anyway. "So, what games do you have?"

Yang glances at a stack of games. "Ugh, I have a lot. Why don't you pick one while I set up? I'm kinda tired of Savage Streets right now, anyway." Yang gets up from her seat and starts handling cables while the man flicks through her catalog. Seeing as the cable box was near ground level, it meant that the blonde was bending over to jack stuff in; he catches a glimpse of something bright purple out of the corner of his eye.

The man realizes that he's right back where he started. He was thinking about sex again, mostly because he's staring at Yang's thong; her jeans were simply too tight for her body and had begun to shift down once she bent over. God, her ass is incredible… Her jeans conformed around it, enhancing its shapeliness, helped further by her sticking it out. As her jeans continue to slide downwards, he spies her soft skin be barely held back by her thong; the garment covered practically nothing, and plenty of Yang's ass began to peek over the waistline of her pants. Now that he had two other butts to compare, he knew that Yang would have a perfect, jiggly butt that would be as good to touch as her legendary rack. Now that he could, he would have to put more focus on touching Weiss' and Blake's shapely rears.

"Oh, hello!" a voice says from behind, causing the man to jump in surprise. Pyrrha, clad in a stylish pink dress, walks over from the hall. Yang, hearing the familiar voice, plugs in the last of the cables and stretches back up to a standing position; Pyrrha didn't have eyes on her, so only he was allowed to see her skimpy undergarment peek out. As if hearing thoughts, the blonde hikes up her jeans, better positioning them to not reveal her secrets, though he doesn't think she noticed. "Am I early?"

"Oh, no," you say, recovering from your heart attack. "Yang's just making sure nobody took the room."

"Oh, you should join us!" Yang excitedly shouts. "We were gonna play a game until the party!"

Pyrrha sheepishly scratches the back of her head. "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at video games. I wouldn't want to ruin your time."

Yang perks up. "Oh, then I know exactly what to play!" She pulls out one of the games and starts putting it in the console. "It's a baby game for babies, so it's easy, but it's four players and it's SUPER fun! Ruby and I started it forever ago, but we never finished it. You wanna try?"

Pyrrha thinks for a moment, looks towards her room, then says, "Oh, why not? If you say it's fun!" Yang tosses her a controller, which Pyrrha snatches out of the air using her Semblance. The man does the same, using telekinesis to bring it straight to his hand. Pyrrha smiles at him as he takes a seat spread across the couches. Yang plops down in the middle and gets the game going.

"Alright! Let's be adorable and murderous!" Yang says, getting to the home screen. "You ever play a Dyson game?" The man nods, seeing as the adorable pink vacuum blob was a well-known character; he was famous for sucking things up and absorbing powers denoted by fun hats, plus a general cutesy aesthetic.

Pyrrha says, "No, but he looks familiar." As Yang starts getting to levels, she adds, "He's rather cute, though!"

"I know, right? I got a plushie of him back on my shelf," Yang says as the level starts. "Oh, oh, Pyrrha, press the big circular button!" Pyrrha does as instructed and takes control of a small brown blob with a bandana and a spear. "That's Jaunty! Press the other button!"

"Oh," Pyrrha says, pressing the attack button. Jaunty hucks a spear forward, not terribly unlike Pyrrha's usual fighting style. She starts playing around getting accustomed to the movement. Once she figures out the basics, she follows Yang and she reaches her first enemy.

"Talk to it with murder!" Yang shouts, causing Pyrrha to walk left and right a few times before she accidentally throws a spear at the monster. "Yeah! Kill that harmless creature just living life!"

"What kind of game is this!?" Pyrrha says, alarmed at the supposed violence. "I thought it was a kid's game?"

Yang laughs. "It is. That's a monster, after all. The game looks all cute, but some let's player I watch put up a video about how all the bosses are like, horrific space abominations born out of man's greed." Both you and Pyrrha blink. "That's not important, just kill the evil cute things because it's a fun game for babies." Yang then turns to the man. "Why don't you join? I'll grab an enemy for you. You kinda possess them, so here," she says, throwing a heart at an enemy.

The man joins the game, taking over the rock monster that Yang-Dyson turned to her side. He immediately remembers how to play, so the three start fighting through the level. Pyrrha gets the ropes but still takes a little while to acclimatize herself, hanging back during fights and surprising herself when she discovers mechanics. It's pretty cute, honestly.

Pyrrha continues experimenting, eventually learning that she can throw infinite spears. She also picks up how Jaunty can do spear combos. "I understand why you'd want me to play as this character! Fighting would be easier if I had infinite spears, though." She stabs a monster, starting to get the game.

"Must be nice to have magnetic powers, though. Bringing your weapons back sounds convenient," Yang says as the three play through the level.

"It's definitely a useful power, but I'm sure your Semblance has just as many uses." Pyrrha tries to split her attention between the man and the game. "I've actually been meaning to speak with you about your Semblance."

"Me? Why?"

"I'm sure you've noticed as well, but our abilities function very similarly." Thinking about it, both the man and Pyrrha can freely manipulate objects at a distance, usually by a sway of the hand. The only real difference was that he could move most things while she was limited to metals, albeit she had way more power and control over it. "I wanted to ask how you awakened your Semblance, or rather if I could guess."

"I stubbed my toe!" Yang interrupts. "Just kicked a table one day and BAM, fire hair!" She starts giggling at Pyrrha's taken abackness, then clarifies. "Nah, but really. One day, Ruby and I were playing in the forest and a Grimm showed up. I took a few swings and it hit me a few times, but it tried to go for Ruby, who was like, five; next thing I know, it's dead and I'm a lot warmer."

"I've found that when people awaken their abilities, it's usually a response to what's in front of them at the very moment. That moment brings out who you really are, which is why it's reflective of your soul. Yang, by chance, were you thinking something like, 'I need to be strong to protect my sister,'?"

Yang ponders for a second, having Dyson sucking up a fire monster and gaining flame abilities. "Uh, it was a while ago, but… Yeah, something like that. 'I can't stop here and let it hurt her. I need to keep moving forward, even if I'M hurt.' You saying that's why I can take hits and get stronger?"

"The math checks out. What about you, Pyrrha? You wanted to guess mine?"

Pyrrha blushes. "Well, it's a theory, but if your experience was anything like mine… If Yang's words were, 'keep moving forward,' then were yours something like, 'I need that object to move,'?"

"I would think so. Yeah, you're right!"

Pyrrha smiles. "Good! I'm glad I was able to put that together. We are similar!"

"Then what was your story? Why magnetism over just telekinesis?"

Pyrrha lets out a short breath. "It was when I was younger, and I was walking my friend home to another town. It was late, and we were attacked by a bandit, who was able to overpower me. He was about to attack my friend with a knife, and all I could think of was, 'I need to move that knife away.' Needless to say, I awoke to my Polarity, and I was able to defeat him."

"Wow, you fought a guy!?" Yang says. Realizing there was an important bit of the story missing, she adds, "That's cool! Your friend okay?"

"I was so surprised to have to fight against a human since I had trained to fight Grimm. But yes, my friend was okay. They said that my Semblance was Polarity because I could bring people together, like a magnet! After that day, I trained as hard as I could, and here I am now."

"That's pretty awesome!" For Pyrrha to have fought and won against an adult when she was just a kid… She was a true warrior and an exemplary huntress… even if she just died in a video game made for children. In her defense, she was a noob and her focus was on the man.

"Oh…" Pyrrha says, noticing that Jaunty was dead. "I'm sorry…"

Giggling, Yang says, "Don't worry about it, champ. We can go back to a special level and you can grab him again."

After completing the level, Yang heads back to a palace where she picks up Jaunty. Pyrrha resumes control, and the three head out to the next level. They spend the next few hours blitzing their way through adorably named levels, killing adorably evil monsters with adorably murderous ease. As Yang said, even though it was a game for young kids, it was incredibly fun; the chaos of three players running around the brightly colored levels was a blast, and a great way to spend the time before the New Year's party. Eventually, the rest of the group starts to show up, signaling the time to enjoy the end of the year.
