Multiple Talking
The Next Day
I was casually strolling out the hallway and into the front of the dorms when I got a message on my scroll.
The latest story was a success! I don't know how you do it, but all your stories are just selling like hotcakes! Keep up the good work!

Ps - finish Bleach and Kingdom hearts already. 4 and 5 books respectively are too much!
So my latest book was a success. So far, he had told Snow White, Goldilocks and the three bears, Red Riding Hood, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Mulan, Trojan War, Thor, Joan of Arc, Jungle book, and Little Mermaid from the movies and Final Fantasy 1, 7, 8, 10, 13, and 0 to go with Kingdom Hearts theme to which I went in chronological order because screw the original order, it was all over the place! From the Anime aspect, I wrote Tokyo Ghoul, Naruto, Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, and now Bleach. While it's not all the animes I've seen, it's still a considerable amount. I'm saving up money to get an artist to see if I can make a manga out of the animes, but if not I can just upgrade my music set. As for music, I managed to recreate about 40 songs, which I heard at least once in my past life. I've only managed to release about 40 because I don't have the right voice for the rest. For the rest, I'm going to need outside help. Anyway, let's hope Team RWBY's talk went well.
Just as I was exiting the dorms, I saw a chair fly out of Ruby's window.
-You egotistical brat! - (Blake)
-You insufferable rouge! - (Weiss)
Well, there goes my plan's.
Team RWBY's Room
-I just don't see how a respectable young woman like you can side in with those beasts! - (Weiss)
- And I don't see how you see those people as beasts! - (Blake)
Just then, Juan knocked on the door. Ruby opened up with a teary face.
-Juan! They just won't stop! It's been like this since yesterday! I did as you said and they just started to argue. Thiswassupposedtohelpus, notbreakusapart!-(Ruby)
Thanks to his many years of Rubism exposure, he was able to understand.
-First of all, calm down. Second, where is Yang? - (Juan)
-She is still sleeping. She doesn't want to admit it but the beds are awesome.-(Ruby)
Over in Yang's bunkbed, Yang was sleeping with earmuffs and eyewear, as to not disturb her sleep. Her hair was in a braid, and the covers were kicked to the side, but the most dangerous aspect was that her tank top was hiked up, showing her stomach and lower Bra.
Let's ignore her for now.
- Blake! Weiss! What the Grimm is going on!?- (Juan)
Both of them stopped their fight and stared at me.
~Stay out of this! ~
-Okay then, I'll be going… with the bunkbeds. - (Juan)
Immediately, Yang woke up.
-Both of you stop fighting. Further infighting will force me to reciprocate your fighting with increasing amount of force until you concede and are contained.-(Yang)
Everyone was surprised at her. Not because of how quickly she woke up, but because…
-Wow Yang, I never knew you could use semi-passive words. - (Ruby)
-Forget that, why are you fighting! I thought you girls would be mature enough to talk a problem out! - (Juan)
-Tell that to this brat! She is being inconsiderate about those who are fighting for their freedom and equality!-(Blake)
-Those Faunus are nothing more than barbarians! There is no freedom or liberty in their fighting, only bloodshed!-(Weiss)
Juan connected two and two together.
-Are you girls seriously fighting over the White Fang? What is wrong with you!?- (Juan)
Juan had to calm himself; he knew what would happen if Blake got too agitate.
-First of all, The White Fang is a terrorist organization. There have been multiple accounts of them hurting neutral Faunus for no other reason than "for the greater good". Second, Weiss' statement can be taken as insults not only to the White fang, but to Faunus in general. I do not appreciate being called an animal, thus the only reason I refrained myself from beating you up myself is your team leader. - (Juan)
There was a silence.
-Ruby, what happened in the talk yesterday? - (Juan)
-Oh, well, the first one to introduce them was me. I told them my likes and dislikes, and my dream like you said. Then Yang introduced herself to support my idea. The conversation got loud when Weiss started to talk about making the Schnee Company more successful. Blake then made a comment that the Faunus blood was the ones to make the Schnee name rise, which gave way to the White Fang topic, and the rest is history. - (Ruby)
-Well, Ruby's introduction plan failed. Try doing one yourself; it might end differently.-(Vox)
-So that's it. Well, now that everyone has calmed down, we should start over again. Let me start. My name is Juan Diego Scarlentina or Juan for short. I like music, beef jerky, and my friends. I dislike discrimination of any kind and celery. My dream for the future is to be a famous DJ, famous enough to have both Faunus and humans dancing together. - (Juan)
Seeing that no one wanted to continue, Ruby introduced herself next.
-Hello, my name is Ruby Rose. I like weapons, cookies, and strawberries. I dislike being in the spotlight and being told to grow up. My dream is to become a great huntress, one that can help everyone. - (Ruby)
-I guess it's my turn. My name is Weiss Schnee, heiress of Schnee Company. I like organization, coffee, and my older sister. I dislike incompetence and the White Fang. My Goal is to make Schnee company great again. - (Weiss)
Blake looked a bit agitated with the last comment, but eventually conceded.
-My name is Blake Belladonna. I like books, seafood, and jazz. I dislike discrimination, lasers, and loud noises. My dream is to see humans and Faunus together. - (Blake)
Everyone turned to Yang, who was sleeping sitting up.
-Yang; wake up! - (Ruby)
- It was Ruby, I swear! - (Yang)
Que the stares.
-Oh, it's my turn. Hello, my name is Yang Xiao Long, Yang for friends. I like my hair, Rumblebee, and boxing. I dislike people messing my hair, staying still, and promise breakers. My wish is to live the world full of adventure and happily. – (Yang)
-Ok, now that introductions are done, we talk about pet peeves. Normally I would stay for this, but this is a private talk only for you guys to bind you guys as a group and team. Anyway, Ruby, you free this afternoon? - (Juan)
-Um, yeah. Why do you ask? - (Ruby)
Yang is going to kill him. Was that killing intent in the air?
-Well, a new bakery opened up close by, so I wanted to see if you wanted to go with me. You down to go? - (Juan)
Yang actually stood up and was about to rip Juan a new one, but Ruby saved him.
-I'd love to go! Where do we meet up? - (Ruby)
- At the dock at 5 O'clock. Be ready to stuff yourself. – (Juan)
-You bet I will! - (Ruby)
-Okay, it's a date then!-(Juan)
-Date!?- (Ruby)
With that, Juan left. Ruby was staring into the door, lost in thought. Behind her, Yang was being held back by Weiss and Blake, and was cussing up a storm.
-I will show you stuffed you piece of ****. By the time I am done, you will wish I had ****** your **** instead of ******* your ******* with a ******* Knife! I will…- (Yang)
-Calm down! It's just a date, how bad could it be? - (Blake)
-Calm Down!? I AM CALM! I'VE NEVER BEEN BETER! I FEEL SO CALM; I JUST WANT TO SHOUT IT OUT! NOTE MY SARCASM! - (Yang)
-Why is her skin getting hot!? This is not natural! - (Weiss)
-Ruby, please help us calm Yang! – (Blake)
-Maybe if I ask for a bite of Juan's food, he might feed me…with his spoon!-(Ruby)
With that, Ruby passed out, leaving her teammates to stop Yang
Later on the Docks
Ruby was sitting down by the pier, looking out to the ocean. She was a little nervous, considering this was going to be her first date. She looked down to her clothes. Her certified battle skirt wasn't too shabby, and it let her be ready to fight! What had Weiss said? She said something about being graceful and dignified. She was plenty graceful. How else would she be able to handle her baby? Blake said to mind her manners and to be polite. She was very polite. She even gave them a cookie each when they wanted one from the cookie jar. Just once a day though. What had Yang say? Ah, she said to kill the …well she said bad words. She looked up the time in her Scroll. 4:55. it is almost time for the date. Let's go over the check list. Clean Clothes? Check. Combed hair? Check. Brushed teeth? Check. Fully armed high impact sniper with cartage of every kind of bullet? Check. Everything seemed ok…Oh here he comes!
Juan arrived to the pier to see Ruby counting on her fingers. She seems to be doing a check list of sorts while verifying she had everything. She checked her clothes, hair, teeth, and…the scythe. Well, every girl is different. Some carry Tasers, others sniper scythe hybrids. Anyway, the new bakery was called Red Hen's Bread, and it was owned by a chicken Faunus. If Juan had to guess, it was the little red hen from the story The Little Red Hen. Many stories where incorporated into the series even from the back ground. Even his father and mother were based off characters. Which ones, he won't say yet.
-Hey Juan? - (Ruby)
-Yes? - (Juan)
-I was wondering…is this really a date?-(Ruby)
Juan thought for a moment.
-Yes Ruby, this is a date. I did ask you out, right?-(Juan)
-Yes, well…does that mean you…like me? - (Ruby)
-Yes Ruby I like you, which is why I choose to date you. Let me ask you this. How do you see dating? - (Juan)
Ruby was getting red faced.
-Well, a guy and a girl like each other and they hold hands and kiss and feel funny. - (Ruby)
-…Who told you that?-(Ruby)
-My Dad!-(Ruby)
She's so pure.
-Well, my view of dating is this; once you like someone, you should become their friend to see how you react with them. If they are good friends they will be a good partner. - (Juan)
-Wait, what happens if they are good friends but no longer like them?-(Juan)
-Well, at least you made a great friend, right?-(Juan)
-…Right! - (Ruby)
-Anyway, here we are. Oh, I forgot to tell you something.-(Juan)
-What?-(Ruby)
-Its buffet style.-(Juan)
-You, my kind sir, have become my favorite person ever!-(Ruby)
-You say that every time I take you to eat.-(Juan)
-That doesn't make it a lie.-(Ruby)
9 O'clock
After stuffing themselves with all kinds of sweets, they decided to use the last two hours at a club to dance. Unlike Canon Ruby, this Ruby did know how to dance due to seeing Juan get dance lessons from Velvet. Seeing Juan having fun while learning, she joined in on the lessons and became his official dance partner. They would dance to relieve stress and just have fun in parties and in their back yards.
While walking around, Juan saw the club he was looking for; The Three Bears. As Juan and Ruby entered, they quickly saw that many people were in the side chatting instead of dancing. A quick listen to the songs was all it took to understand. They were all good songs, it's just they were not made for dancing. It seemed he would have to fix this.
-Hey Ruby, would you mind if I leave for a sec? I'm going to help Mr. Dj.-(Juan)
Ruby just sighed. Juan always tried to oust the Dj when dancing.
-Just don't get into trouble.-(Ruby)
-Be right back-(Juan)
Juan then walked up to the bar, where the bar owner was.
-Junior, I presume?-(Juan)
-Depends on what you came here looking for.-(Junior)
-I came here to impress. However, the music here is not good. I would have thought the music here would have been more lively that this. - (Juan)
-I understand. However, this is the best we got. Our old DJ is no longer available, so you're going to have to deal with it. - (Junior)
It seems Yang's fight did more than destroy the bar. If they continued with the new DJ, they would be forced to close down until a better DJ came. If they don't, they will lose whatever rep they had. However, any new Dj they got would need to be discreet, be able to read the crowd, and be able to defend themselves in a fight. Not many filled the criteria, and even less wanted to work with such a low pay. This is where Juan came in.
-Sir, if you don't mind me intruding, I could take over and help. I may not look like it, but I am good at living up to the crowd's expectation. Here is my Scroll-tube channel. - (Juan)
Junior took one look at Juan's scroll and smirked. So he was Maestro. While Juan wasn't as famous as artists and top tear Youtuber in earth, only having 250,000 followers, there weren't many people in all of Remnant, only an estimated 40 million in total. This put Juan in a somewhat known status. However, performing online is different from performing live.
-Let's make a deal. If you're able to get the crowd reared up and going for thirty minutes straight, I give you todays pay. Hell, I'll even hire you. However, if they are disappointed, you're paying their refund, no if's or buts. We got a Deal? - (Junior)
- Sure, let's do this. - (Juan)
Juan downed the drink in front of him and left for the Dj booth.
-…That was my drink…- (Junior)
Dj Booth
After explaining to the Dj the bet me and junior had, he gladly moved down the booth. Huh, nice to have an unlikely fan in helpful places. After connecting my scroll to the equipment, I got the show on the road.
-First song; Dj got us Falling in Love Again, by Usher.-
-Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen! My name is Maestro, and tonight I shall be your host and Disc Jockey extraordinaire. – (Juan)
Many of the people started to perk up after having siting down. Usually, when a new Dj comes up, they play a good song, and then introduce themselves. I just did the opposite.
I cranked up the music even more, and started to add bass to the song. The club slowly started to pulsate with the rhythm. What some people don't know is that when the bass is loud enough, the heart starts to beat to it. Adrenalin starts to course through their veins. Their eyes dilate and focus on the colors on the lights. The smoke gives them a sense of being hidden, to show their less shown side, to go wild. Some start bobbing their head to the rhythm, others tap their feet. However, most of them start to feel like dancing.
I choose usher for a reason. It was an uncontested popular song back in our world. It was tested by billions of people. I knew it was going to be well liked.
So we back in the club, with our bodies rocking' from side to side (side to side).
The couples got the rhythm first, and started to go to the dancefloor. They started to slowly entice their partner with whispers and subtle body movement. It had begun.
Thank God the week is done, I feel like a Zombie gone back to life (back to life).
Slowly, the singles started to join in on the dancing. They started to dance their ways to each other, trying to entice each other with their moves and bodies. The white lights got dimmer, the colored ones got brighter. The smoke danced around everyone's feet. Slowly, the bodies started to sweat, started to get warmer. The dancers started to remove jackets and hats, and finally realized how beautiful the girl's eyes sparkled, or how dashing the guy's hair looked. It slowly got more intense. With each movement, passion in their hearts grew. They won't waste this moment.
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up, no control of my body.
Everyone started to raise their hands. Their stress of the day leaving their bodies, finally forgetting their responsibilities, deadlines, anger, fears. They weren't lowlifes, they weren't rich, they weren't criminals, and they weren't people with stick up their butts. They were people who just wanted to have fun.
Ain't I seen you before? I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes.
Cause baby tonight! The Dj got us falling in love again!
My job here is done.
11 o'clock
Walking out of the club felt great. I just landed my first Dj job every Friday to Sunday.
-Hey Ruby, how many Strawberry Sunrises did you drink? - (Juan)
She looked at her fingers. She struggled to count.
-I got one. - (Ruby)
-Are you sure? - (Juan)
She counted her fingers again.
-Yes. - (Ruby)
-Did you get anything else? - (Juan)
She tried to remember.
-Ah… I got…a Bloodhound, a Rose, a Red Russian, a Rossini, a Strawberry Gin Smash, a strawberry mint sparkler…- (Ruby)
She got drunk. She got really drunk. Yang is going to kill me.
We tried to walk to beacon, but she started whining about how tired she was.
-Juan…gives me, uh, a cookie. No, I meant a…piggy back ride! - (Ruby)
Using her semblance, she started to squirm from my shoulder and started to climb my back.
So here I was in the dorms, with a drunken Ruby in my back and work tomorrow. Well things could be worse.
-Juan, is Ruby Drunk?!- (Yang)
Yep, I'm screwed.
