Weiss Reacts to Katawa Shoujo, Part 1!

A/N: Welcome back, one and all, to Weiss Reacts! Now, if you're all wondering where I've been all this time, well firstly, I was busy launching, for any Fire Emblem fans, my new fic Corrin Reacts, and secondly, I've also been busy, when I'm not doing that, either revising for my exams or getting piled on by my exams. However, I've resolved to try to get one update of this out before I get on Lucina Reacts and Corrin Reacts, given I've got the latter to a place I feel comfortable leaving off for the moment, and so, enjoy your visual novel.

On the topic of Katawa Shoujo, we'll be covering Act 1 today and next time, whenever that is, we'll cover one of the routes which we'll reveal at the end of the chapter!

DISCLAIMER: RWBY belongs to Rooster Teeth, otherwise we would have Chibi Salem. (Would pay to buy this plushie, please based gods at RT)

Katawa Shoujo belongs to 4 Leaf Studios. For those of you readers under eighteen, be warned that it is an eroge, so there are sex scenes that your parents wouldn't want your innocent brains to see. Warning for spoilers and potential failure to remember game events properly. I am not responsible for any shenanigans that may result from playing this game.

All mentioned franchises and characters belong to their respective owners.

"It's been a long while since we actually did something…." Weiss grumbled as she looked outside the dorm window onto the Beacon grounds, watching the grey clouds roll over and the rain pour down gently, clattering upon the window softly. Yang stared at her, confusedly.

"We only watched RWBY Chibi, like, yesterday…..even if it wasn't that good…." Yang shrugged. "How do you get bored so quickly?"

Ruby chimed in, popping another cookie in her mouth. "It's probably because we haven't actually gone anywhere since the camp thing, what with the others holed up in JNPR dorm and all."

"…..gah, I know we only did things yesterday, but…" The heiress suddenly smacked the desk, irritated. "Oh, screw it! Let's do something fun! Yang, you do things, what do you advise?"
"…you're asking me if I have something fun?" The brawler stared at her as if Weiss had asked her to put on a dog costume. "…Weiss Schnee, asking Yang Xiao Long if there's anything she can do? Stop the presses."
"Yeah, yeah, sue me," Weiss retorted irritably. "I just want something fun to do today! Something! It's boring here, right now!"

"…..I….uh…..suppose I could show you….Katawa Shoujo?" Yang suggested hopefully. Weiss looked at her as if she had waved a shark plushie in front of her.

"Katawa Shoujo? What's that about?"

"It's about a school of disabled kids," the brawler started. "Look, before you-"
"Just boot up your computer and show me what it is, I need something to do, anything!"

Ruby chuckled. "Oh, she's really desperate to do something fun, isn't she?"
"She didn't even ask what it was….." Yang looked surprised, sidling up to her younger sister. "…..you know why I never let you play the game?"
"Why?"
"It's an eroge," the brawler explained, as if that explained everything.

Clearly, to Ruby, it didn't explain everything. "So?"
"That means it's got sex. Dad would kill me if I let you play it."

"…ooooh." The reaper cringed as she realised, slowly, what kind of reaction the prudish heiress would have. "Weiss is going to blow a gasket when she finds out. Shall we tell her?"

"If she's not going to ask, I'm not going to tell her," Yang shrugged casually, taking out a can of Blue Cow energy drink. "Let her learn the hard way. For once, I'm not even trolling her."

Ruby looked over to Blake to ask her opinion, but the catgirl was snoring softly, her face smushed into a pillow as she softly clutched a tuna plushie in her hands.
"…..aaallllright then," the reaper clapped. "Well then."
Weiss crossed her arms purposefully. "It's settled. Ruby, get the snacks and Yang, start up the computer. I'll go grab the drinks. We'll make an afternoon of this!"

"…huh, so she got Corrin in on it…." Yang mused, checking her scroll as her sister looked up at her. "Huh? Who's Corrin?"
"…..nothing, nobody," the brawler replied. "…..and hoo boy, she'll love Lilly."
"Lilly? The tall, blonde blind girl? Why?"
The brawler simply smirked mischievously.

Minutes later…..

"…so far, so good," the heiress muttered as she looked at the intro of the visual novel. "…..alright, so I'm some guy named Hisao…..andI'm in some snowy place."

"Snow is love, as they say….." Yang mused dreamily.

Ruby chuckled. "This seems so….w-wait. What's happening? Hisao?"
"…are you kidding me?! I got a heart attack because a girl confessed to me?! Dammit, Hisao!" Weiss snapped. "You're in a visual novel! What are you going to do when a girl confesses to you later!?"

'What's he going to do when he does the dirty would be the question I'd ask,' the brawler mused to herself.

"…greaaaat. Now we're being carted off to a school for disabled people. Well, knowing the type of game this is…." The heiress rolled her eyes.

"You know what kind of game this is?" Yang lifted an eyebrow, curious.

"Of course! You spend the whole game dating a girl and then you get one at the end! Isn't that how visual novels work?" Weiss replied, confused. The brawler nodded, while not revealing the true nature of the game.

'Oh. Good. She doesn't know yet. I'll let her learn.'

Weiss rubbed her hands together. "Oh…..my, my. Well, isn't Misha a little unique."

"I like her, she's fun!" Ruby cheered, giggling. "Mutou seems pretty cool. He reminds me a little of Doctor Oobleck. Just a little."
Yang snickered. "I like Shizune more. She's really fun, if you catch my drift."
"….hm?" Weiss looked confused. "You can date her? Wouldn't that be weird with Misha around constantly having to interpret?"

"I'd assume you just learn sign language so you don't need Misha around so much," Ruby pointed out. "

…..

Weiss gained an irritated expression on her face. "…Kenji. I thought Misha was unique, but Kenji…..he's a little special."

Ruby snorted. "Really?"

"Oh, you haven't seen the half of it," Yang teased her, smirking.

The heiress sighed. "He gets worse? Great. Anyway….hmph Who does this Shizune think she is? I'll have her know that a Schnee does not lose in a game of strategy! Fine! Let's see….I shall play defensive! You will not defeat me, you foolish….what. WHAT?!"

The heiress looked in disbelief at the screen. "H-How did I lose?! To this woman?! No!"

Yang rolled her eyes. "It's Hisao playing her, not you."

"Well, then Hisao needs to learn some strategy! He is clearly an incompetent who does not know even the basic strategy needed for something like this!"

'And I have a feeling she and Shizune would get on well if they ever met,' the brawler mused.

Ruby tilted her head. "Ooh, ooh! It's Lilly!"
"…ahhh, someone civilized." Weiss smiled. "I might like her. I'll keep an eye on her, I suppose. And she likes tea, too. Definitely refined. Perhaps you might serve to follow her example, Yang."
"Oh, Lilly and I have far more in common than hair colour and general hotness," the brawler retorted with a smirk. Weiss snorted.

"As if! Clearly, Lilly is far more refined than you!" The heiress huffed. "Don't compare someone like her to you. Anyway…..let's get on with the story…"

…..

"…..all I said was hi! How do you expect me to deal with this?!" Weiss snapped as Hanako ran away from her.

"In retrospect, yelling 'hi' at a girl like Hanako might've been the wrong idea," Yang pointed out helpfully. Weiss' eyes narrowed.

"She can handle it! She looks tough!"

"She was huddling on a cushion in the library, I don't think she's the delinquent type…." Ruby chimed in. Weiss sighed, grumbling.

"…..oh, wonderful. Now Kenji's talking shenanigans about women," the heiress remarked irritably. "At this point, I think I'd rather be trapped on an island with Misha than Kenji, at least I wouldn't be tempted to stab her."

Yang frowned. "What did Misha even do to you? She's just hyper?"
"Yes, I already live with you, Yang," the heiress retorted. "I don't want to deal with her too. And why are these two so obsessed with getting me into the Student Council?! Come on! Let me go join, I don't know, track or something! Come on!"

"…..wah! Heart attack!" Ruby cried, panicked. Weiss' eyes narrowed.

"…..what is this pigtailed moron doing?!" The heiress snapped. "Emi, huh? Seriously?! Why would you run in a corridor of a school like this?! Maybe some kid has brittle bones or something! That's a health hazard!"

….

"Great. Even Rin is unique," the heiress remarked, rubbing her temples. "About the only people I don't want to slap around the head are Lilly and Shizune…."

"...I wonder what it'd be like to eat with your feet….." Ruby wondered, curious. "I think it'd be pretty cool if you could bend your legs like that."

"I'd personally struggle," Weiss mused. "You would need to dislocate your leg or something to do that."

Yang shook her head. "Oh, I'm just wondering something else myself. How does Rin even put on bras like that? Honest question."

"…I can't imagine that would be very comfortable," the heiress cringed."

…..

"So, the only two tolerable people in the school are at each other's throats," Weiss muttered as she saw Shizune and Lilly square off over budgets. The heiress' eyes narrowed. "Figures. Alright, well, what right does that woman have to tell me off?"

Yang giggled. "Oh, this is going to be great."

"….WHAT?! Are you kidding me?! That's not what I meant!" Weiss snapped. "No! Lilly….dammit! Stupid game! That's not what I meant to say!"

Ruby giggled. "Well, guess Lilly's not too happy with you now."

"Tch…I'd better get a chance to apologise…." Weiss sighed, exasperated. "This is absolutely ridiculous….."

...

"….anyway…..oh, of course. Let's make the heart patient run! Nope! Screw that! Hisao, you are not running and giving yourself a heart attack!"

"Wouldn't you need to do exercise a little to make sure your heart doesn't give out?" Ruby pointed helpfully. Weiss stared at her in disbelief.

"Not that much! That would kill him! Literally!" The heiress cautioned her. "…alright, well, at least we're not dead, and no I do not need your advice, Kenji, go away."

Yang smirked. "Oh, if Blake knew about Kenji, I think she'd flip."
"I know about him and I'm flipping," the heiress replied. "Oh, for the love of….Misha! Can you not read the situation? I'd rather not talk right now, so ple-ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I did not say piss off! Come on! Game, can you not do this?!"

Ruby looked over at Yang, realising something. "Didn't you say that if you got this choice-"
The brawler cut her off, nodding. "Eeeyup."
"That's the second time! First you made me piss off Lilly and now this?!" Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose. "Well, I've not seen that Rin girl a while…..this is going to be just great."

…..

"…..WHAT?!" The heiress stared in disbelief as Hisao drunkenly fell off the school roof, dying. "….is this game serious?! I didn't even….what?! Seriously?!"
"Well, you managed to piss off every single girl, even Rin….." Yang pointed out helpfully. "I mean, you should've been a bit more careful with Hanako, sided with Lilly, actually attacked Shizune during that Risk game….."

Weiss muttered irritably. "The game should be more intuitive! Fine! I don't know why those idiots were getting drunk and why I'd get drunk with Kenji of all people, but fine! Yang, you look like you've played this game before, tell me, who should I go for first?"

The brawler thought for a moment, chuckling. "…Lilly. I think you should go for Lilly first. Her route's kinda nice. I think you'll like it."

"….well, I find that an amenable idea. Fine!" Weiss clapped her hands. "Let's go for Lilly's route, then!"

To be continued….

A/N: I mainly cut off a lot of Act 1 because I wanted to rush through it to introduce the game, mainly. Next chapter, we'll be covering the specific scenes that lead to Lilly's route, as well as, well, Lilly's route proper.

So, I hope you enjoyed that, leave your ideas, comments, criticisms, suggestions, reviews and thoughts, and I hope you have a GREAT day! Until next time!
