So heres a little treat for you all. I'm currently working on another damn draft of Tears of the Mind and decided to take a break from it and let the gears turn for a bit. What better way than write my reaction fic while listening to my favorite musicals? Anyways, I don't own RWBY or Hamilton. They belong to their respective owners.
Chapter 4
Story of tonight and the Schuyler Sisters!
The group of people occupying the fairly large room were all discussing amongst themselves what they were thinking about their situation and what they had seen so far to pass the time. This was soon going to be the method they relied on as they waited for the videos to load up. Despite this, they didn't seem to mind due to the content they watched being very entertaining. Even the General was starting to be very interested in what was occurring in the musical.
Due to the constant debates turned arguments with Jacque Schnee, not to mention the relentless attacks from the White Fang, a break was most needed in the general's perspective. Personally, for him, he felt at ease and was internally finding the music very appealing. The way the characters rallied the people in the latest video reminded him of his troops that he served by what seemed decades ago. Sure, they were young at the time and had dreams of glory and dying for the greater cause, but that was natural. It gave some soldiers an edge when it came to dedication to a cause. When he looked at the four that who were on the screen and sitting by his around him, he couldn't' help but smile. Not to mention the feeling that he felt some sort of connection to specifically Jaune Arc. He didn't know why, but the boy reminded him of himself when he was growing up, having to rely on his heart and his ability to lead in order to prove himself. He slightly smirked at the blonde knight without said blonde noticing and patiently waited for the next song.
"Quite the story so far wouldn't you say James?" Ironwood looked to Ozpin who had a knowing smirk on his face and Ironwood nodded his head in agreement.
"Honestly I would like to know more of this setting. Even if it looks a little older when it comes to technology, the ideologies are interesting to say the least." Ironwood replied and Ozpin took a sip of his coffee.
"I would also like to point out that there hasn't been a single faunus or grimm so far." Glynda said out loud. Everyone's eyes widened in realization as they also noticed this. "I guess this really is an alternate universe." Glynda deduced as the others seemed to agree, although they were skeptical.
"I just really want to see more of us." Ruby chimed in and Yang smiled at her and wrapped her sister in a headlock.
"Awww. Want to see what adorable role you get Rubes?" Yang said with a toothy grin. "trying to get a duet with Jaune eh?" at this the rose's face turned redder than her cloak and she tried to cover her face. Yang laughed at this while Blake tried to stifle her laughter. Weiss rolled her eyes as the four of them looked over to see if anyone heard what they said. To their displeasure, everyone was interacting with each other and Yang got a little irritated when she saw Jaune being oblivious as always. Before she could say anything, Nora piped up.
"VIDEO'S LOADED! EVERYONE SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!" she yelled with enthusiasm and joy in her voice as she crashed into her seat.
"A little over the top their Nora." Jaune commented with a smile on his face, knowing that the bomber only held good intentions in her order.
"Can you really blame her?" Ren replied and Jaune laughed a bit. The two of them became quiet as Nora pressed play on the remote. The screen faded into the same bar setting as last time. The only difference was that it was now night time and Jaune, Sun, Sage, and Neptune were the only patrons present.
"Guess you guys are popular enough to have a bar all to yourselves." Pyrrha commented and the four laughed a bit at the sight of their lethargic and drunken characters on the screen. They soon saw Jaune's character raise his glass.
Jaune:
I may not live to see our glory
Sun, Sage, & Neptune:
I may not live to see our glory
"Port would get a kick out of this." Glynda muttered with a hint of loathing in her voice. On occasion, the staff would go out drinking and drag the reluctant combat teacher with them. Every time the portly professor would get so drunk, he would actually convince the whole bar to sing with him. The only difference why she liked the singing that was going on in front of her was that it actually sounded good and didn't sound like a goose getting nailed from being by a Boarbatusk. Ozpin simply chuckled at her comment and they kept watching.
Jaune:
But I will gladly join the fight
Sun, Sage, & Neptune:
But I will gladly join the fight
Jaune:
And when our children tell our story
Sun, Sage, & Neptune:
And when our children tell our story
Jaune:
They'll tell the story of tonight
"It's interesting to see everyone talking about the future." Blake said and Yang grinned at her, picturing what they would be like years from now and also wondering what moments they would truly remember.
Sage:
Let's have another round tonight
Neptune:
Let's have another round tonight
Jaune:
Let's have another round tonight
"Of course, there is alcohol involved." Ren muttered.
"It makes people fun." Nora defended.
"It turns people into potential lawsuits." Ren replied as Nora scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. Even to this day she couldn't remember when she crashed that limo, if she was wearing a live sloth as a hat.
Sun:
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
No matter what they tell you
Raise a glass to the four of us
Sun and Sage:
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
Sun, Sage, & Neptune:
Telling the story of tonight
"Quite the way of defining a revolution." Ozpin commented. "They have my respect." James looked to the headmaster and gave him an agreeing smile.
"Well put Sun." Blake complemented once again. Sun said nothing but instead smiled as he reveled in the combination of strings and piano soothing his ears. He also was admiring the character he was acting as in the video, as if he could relate to him. Cunning and rambunctious, but always having his heart in the right place.
Jaune:
They'll tell the story of tonight
Sun, Sage, & Neptune:
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
Jaune:
No matter what they tell you
"What do you think of your character Jaune?" Nora asked him and almost everyone wanted to hear what he had to say. The blonde paused the video for a few seconds to think.
"I'll tell you after this video he said with a toothy grin." Nora groaned as well as Pyrrha but she did so mentally.
Sage & Neptune:
Let's have another round tonight
Sun:
Raise a glass to the four of us
Sun, Sage, & Neptune:
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
Jaune & Sun:
Telling the story of tonight
"I was hooked from the beginning, but it just keeps getting better." Neptune said while folding his arms and leaning a bit back in his bean bag chair. Sage laughed a bit at their drunken but honest characters and couldn't help but agree.
"It is really calming but up lifting. As if their legacy will live on." Ozpin commented. No one responded to this as they pressed play and watched on.
Sage & Neptune:
Let's have another round tonight
Jaune, Sun, Ensemble:
They'll tell the story of tonight
Neptune, Sage, Ensemble:
Raise a glass to freedom
Jaune, Sun, Ensemble:
They'll tell the story of tonight
Neptune, Sage, Ensemble:
Raise a glass to freedom
Jaune, Sun, Ensemble:
They'll tell the story of tonight
Neptune, Sage, Ensemble:
They'll tell the story of
COMPANY:
Tonight
The last person the camera jumped to was a girl leaning against her windowsill. The camera zoomed in slowly as the song played on and the student's eyes widened with joy due to who they saw.
"You look so adorable!" Yang squealed as she hugged her sister. Ruby was trying to pry herself from Yang as she looked at herself that was staring up at the starlit sky. The rose wondered what her role was in this story and was excited to see what was next.
The screen faded to black and Nora let out a groan. "That was too shooooort." the bomber said as she reclined in her seat. Her cheeks were puffed with irritation and she folded her arms. Although he would never admit it, Ren found this adorable.
"Patience Nora. If we could get through public elementary school, we could get through this." Nora laughed and Jaune looked to his friend with a knowing look of cringe worthy memories. To everyone's surprise though, the screen flashed to white and music began to play.
"We got another one?!" Sun shouted in excitement as his teammates felt the same way.
"YEEEESSSS!" Nora fist pumped as she said this and her team laughed at this.
"Certainly, a twist, though welcomed whole heartedly." Ozpin said as he refilled his coffee. Everyone was even more surprised to see that it was day time and Ren's character was leaning against the wall of a tall brick building.
"I'm going to assume it's the day after our drinking song." Neptune said to the group and they continued watching, keeping what he said in mind.
Ren:
There's nothing rich folks love more
Than going downtown and slumming it with the poor
They pull up in their carriages and gawk at the students in the common
Just to watch 'em talk
"Not true!" Weiss shouted as all eyes landed on her. A few seconds later Weiss's cold exterior broke and she sighed. "One time. I was forced to go with my mom. In my defense, she was drunk." Ruby and Yang winced at this.
"Couldn't have been that bad." Nora said, trying to find a silver lining and Weiss gave her a deadpanned expression.
"She talked to a homeless person like I talk to Zwei." team Rwby did their best to try and not laugh at the images forcibly conjuring in their head. Emphasis on the word "trying" as the three of them were now leaning against each other laughing uncontrollably. Jaune had to pause the video for five minutes before they could calm down.
Take Philip Schuyler, the man is loaded
Uh oh, but little does he know that
His daughters, Peggy, Angelica, Eliza
Sneak into the city just to watch all the guys at
COMPANY: Work, work
Pyrrha: Angelica!
COMPANY: Work, work
Ruby: Eliza!
Penny: And Peggy!
COMPANY: Work, work
The Schuyler sisters
Everyone remained shell shocked at the screen for a few moments as they saw Ruby and Yang's Uncle Qrow in a pressed coat and fancy frills. What made everyone shocked was that he looked much cleaner. Even more so than Jaune and his friends. It didn't stop there as they saw three girls that they all knew. Pyrrha, Ruby and surprisingly Penny pass by the screen.
"Penny's my sister!" Ruby said and giggled a bit at the awkward look Yang was giving her.
"I can't tell what's weirder, Ms. Nikos, Ms. Rose, and Ms. Polendina being related, the fact that Mr. Lie is showing more emotion than usual, or that Qrow actually looks…clean." Ozpin stated as everyone was dumbfounded at what they saw.
"Well the three of them are red heads to a certain extent." Sage spoke up. Everyone looked at him as he continued on. "Not to mention Ruby looks just a little bit like this Qrow person. Yea I can see it." he said that last part to himself and the others looked back at the screen, taking a little bit more time to accept it.
"I show emotion." Ren muttered under his breath. Nora patted him on the back and gave him a comedic but sympathetic look.
Pyrrha: Angelica!
Penny: Peggy!
Ruby: Eliza!
COMPANY: Work!
Penny: Daddy said to be home by sundown
Pyrrha: Daddy doesn't need to know
Penny: Daddy said not to go downtown
Pyrrha: Like I said, you're free to go
But—look around, look around
The revolution's happening in New York
Ruby and Penny: New York
COMPANY: Angelica
SISTERS & COMPANY: Work!
"Such rebels you two!" Yang said mockingly flabbergasted to Pyrrha and Ruby while the two had smug smiles on their face. Although their attitudes were foreign in a way, they couldn't help but connect to their characters in a way. Ruby being adventurous but kind hearted, and Pyrrha being confident. At least the champion was confident on the battlefield.
"Although I'm scared if the punishment for staying out are similar to our uncle's" Ruby and Yang shuddered at this.
"Why?" Blake asked to Yang.
"After Uncle Qrow saved us when we were younger, he made us clean his weapon." Yang replied. Blake cocked an eyebrow.
"So?" Yang's eye twitched a bit.
"WE WERE Six AND FOUR YEARS OLD AND WE HAD TO CLEAN A FULLY LOADED MECA SHIFTING SCYTHE!" Ruby and Yang exclaimed while everyone's eyebrows rose at this.
"Definitely having a talk to Qrow about his drinking." Ozpin muttered.
Penny: It's bad enough Daddy wants to go to war
Ruby: People shouting in the square
Penny: It's bad enough there'll be violence on our shore
Pyrrha: New ideas in the air
Pyrrha & MALE ENSEMBLE: Look around, look around—
"Wish I could actually be in that time." Jaune said to no one in specific. "It seems exciting." Pyrrha nodded at this and they turned their attention to the screen.
Ruby: Angelica, remind me what we're looking for
ALL MEN: She's looking for me!
Pyrrha and (COMPANY):
Eliza, I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work)
I'm looking for a mind at work (work, work) [x2]
Woa-oah
SISTERS: Woa-oah
SISTERS & COMPANY: Work!
"I think we know what mind she's looking for." Yang said while slyly eyeing Jaune as she had her chin resting on her palm. Jaune looked at her with confusion as his partner refused to make eye contact with anyone
Ren:
Ooh, there's nothing like summer in the city
Someone in a rush next to someone lookin' pretty
Excuse me, miss, I know it's not funny
But your perfume smells like your daddy's got money
Why you slummin' in the city in your fancy heels?
You searchin' for an urchin who can give you ideals?
Pyrrha: Burr, you disgust me
Ren:
Ahh, so you've discussed me
I'm a trust fund, baby, you can trust me
Everyone remained silent at Ren's advance on Pyrrha. No one knew what to say. In all their time knowing him, he was never one to be about the player lifestyle. Not to mention the bravado that he carried when he tried to swoon Pyrrha. Ren looked a little irritated at both his character who was wiggling his eyebrows and the others in the room who were now staring at him.
"Alternate universe. Remember?" He said flatly. Most looked away and the atmosphere grew a little awkward.
"Even so," Jaune replied. "For your own good Ren, never do that." Ren was about to ask why until his leader pointed to the ninja's partner who had an extreme predatory look on her face. For the life of him Ren though he saw a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"Will do." Ren replied quickly.
Pyrrha:
I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
You want a revolution? I want a revelation
So listen to my declaration:
ALL SISTERS:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal"
Pyrrha and (COMPANY):
And when I meet Thomas Jefferson (unh!)
I'mma compel him to include women in the sequel
WOMEN: Work!
"Wait, wait, wait." Jaune said and Nora paused the video. "So from what I get, there is a revolution for freedom going on." Everyone nodded at this. "And yet anyone who isn't white and a man is undermined?" Ozpin looked at the blonde with a knowing look.
"Don't forget rich as well Mr. Arc." at this Jaune threw his arms up in the air.
"That's idiotic." Jaune nearly shouted. Before he could go on, Nora pressed play. Unknowing to them all Blake changed her opinion on Jaune, admiring his passion for equality in all aspects.
Ruby:
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now
Ruby, Penny:
Look around, look around at how
Lucky we are to be alive right now
ALL SISTERS:
History is happening in Manhattan and we
Just happen to be in the greatest city in the world
SISTERS & COMPANY: In the greatest city in the world!
"Not true. Mistral all the way." Sun said as he raised his hand in enthusiasm.
"Here here." team SSSN were surprised to see Jaune and Pyrrha joining in on their agreement.
"Mistral champion remember?" Pyrrha said, emphasizing on the Mistal and not the champion.
"My family lives in Mistral and we used to camp in Anima." Jaune said while Ren and Nora raised their eyebrows at this. Perhaps they met him before when they were younger.
Pyrrha (Ruby, Penny) ((MEN)):
Cause I've been reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine
(look around, look around)((hey, hey, hey, hey))
So men say that I'm intense or I'm insane
(the revolution's happening in)((hey, hey, hey, hey))
Pyrrha (Ruby, Penny) ((WOMEN)):
(New York) You want a revolution? ((look around, look around))
I want a revelation (In New York, woah)
So listen to my declaration ((the revolution's happening))
ALL SISTERS (WOMEN) ((MEN)):
We hold these truths to be self evident
(look around, look around) (hey, hey)
That all men are created equal
(at how lucky we are to be alive right now) (hey, hey)
"So anyone else loving this song?" Yang asked and everyone cheered at this. Especially all the women. The past songs were amazing to say the least but seeing the women have a turn in the spotlight was awe inspiring.
"Also forgot to mention that you blowing me off was quite hilarious." Ren said to Pyrrha who flashed him a toothy grin.
ALL SISTERS & COMPANY:
Look around, look around
At how lucky we are to be alive right now
History is happening in Manhattan
And we just happen to be
WOMEN (MEN): In the greatest city in the world (in the greatest city)
COMPANY: In the greatest city in the world!
COMPANY: Work, work
Pyrrha: Angelica!
COMPANY: Work, work
Ruby: Eliza!
Penny: And Peggy!
COMPANY: Work, work
ALL SISTERS: The Schuyler sisters
COMPANY: Work, work
"I think I'm starting to accept that P-money could be a good older sister." Yang said jokingly.
ALL SISTERS (COMPANY):
We're looking for a mind at work (work, work)
Hey (work, work)
Pyrrha (COMPANY):
Woah-ah! (work, work)
Ruby & Penny (COMPANY):
Hey (work, work)
In the greatest city
ALL SISTERS:
In the greatest city
In the world!
COMPANY: In the greatest city in the world!
The group applauded at the end and soon let out another groan as they saw the dreaded loading circle return. Even so, they were happy to see that they got two songs in one go.
"I hope we get two more soon." Pyrrha said as she was now very excited to see more.
"You now know my pain." Nora said with crocodile tears streaming down her face. The others laughed at this.
"No matter how I look at it, I couldn't see you in that light Ren." Jaune said as Ren cracked a smirk across his lips.
"Don't be so sure blonde." Ren said with a hint of flirtation in his voice. Jaune reeled back and Ren chuckled at this. The chuckling soon turned to confusion as the predatory look on Nora's face returned while her irritation escalated.
"Oh boy." Jaune muttered before all hell broke loose.
The power of the Rensexual is strong in this chapter. MWHAHAHAHAHA! I had a lot of fun writing this and I am really enjoying the reaction genre. More ideas keep popping in my head but I have to restrict myself to three stories at a time or else no work will get done. I hope you all liked this double feature and hope you all BE FIERCE this beautiful day or night. Drop a comment or review if you want or have an idea you would like to share.
