Hello! Me again. Thank you for all those who favorited and followed this story so far! Obviously I'm doing something people like, so I'll keep working at it. This chapter will be the last reaction chapter for a while, so enjoy it!

This time it's Weiss and Yang's turn to play.

Before you start, watch the Achievement Hunter's Rage Quit: Slender, parts one and two and the behind the scenes and you might understand more references in here.

"Well, let's go before there's nothing left." Weiss, Yang, Nora, and Ren exited the room and headed down the school hallways to the kitchens. Yang's plan such as it was, which she explained to Team WYNR (Yang gave credit where it was due to Nora's quick naming of the team), was basically to get snacks for everybody in their original teams. Each member would get one other's snack: Weiss had Ruby, Yang had Blake, Ren volunteered for Jaune because that left Nora for Pyrrha. And not to say anything about his friend, but he knew that Pyrrha would have the greatest chance of surviving anything that Nora picked.

Although, admittedly, her choices tended to lean heavily towards pancakes a lot so Pyrrha was probably safe.

There was an eviler ulterior motive to Yang's decision on who to pick, but that'll come a little bit later.

They came through the halls, not encountering anyone still up at this hour, even though it was a weekend. Huh, apparently people like to sleep early on weekends. Who knew? Yang thought to herself. She was the one leading the motley crew down the halls. Weiss was walking along beside her, calmly blocking out Nora's ramblings and Ren's countering monotone.

"So how many cookies can I get for Ruby?" Weiss asked. I know Ruby, and she'll be asking for them. But Yang's her older sister and I know how bad an idea it is to give Ruby sugar. That was a rough day for _WBY when Ruby somehow managed to spike her own cookies with double the sugar and still have them come out all right. It didn't help that _WBY also had some of those cookies.

"Ruby gets at most three." Yang said with absolute authority, "Any more and none of us are going to get some sleep and she'll crash hard at exactly 10:34 tomorrow."

"Experience?" Weiss questioned her knowledge of when Ruby's crash might happen.

"Four times me and dad had that happen." Yang said with slight exasperation.

"Dad and I," Weiss corrected automatically, but continued, "That must have been… harsh."

"We found her running laps on the roof one time. To this day we have no idea how she got up there, but she's since given the term 'sugar high' a new meaning." Yang commented. Weiss' eye twitched; just having a mental image of a little Ruby perched on the roof like it was a balance beam.

"Okay, three it is then."

By this time they had made it to the student kitchens. Beacon had two kitchens: one for the students, one for the cooking staff. Or as the saying goes 'one for the students to poison themselves, and the other so they can choke'. That came back from the days where the food wasn't that great and had the consistency, taste, and nutrition of wet cardboard. The food had improved vastly since then, but every once in a while people are reminded of the horror stories told about the Tater-tot Casserole days. *1

Even the staff hated it. Hence why all the professors now had their own kitchens in their rooms.

Anyway, the student kitchen had most of the stuff that the academy kitchen had: ingredients, cookbooks, and most importantly for the students, easy to make snacks for instances such as now.

The doors burst open as Yang pushed them open. "Alright soldiers, take everything! Leave nothing behind!" Yang said in her best military voice, which was still pretty bad.

"Yeah! Leave nothing standing!" Nora shouted and dashed in, grabbing a plate and loading it up with food. Somehow, even though it was night, she still managed to find pancakes and syrup. Ren was following behind her trail cleaning up the stuff she brought out while calmly gathering food as well. Weiss was going through the cabinets and loading up, making sure to only grab three cookies.

Yang was searching around for something special, as she already got her stuff. She opened a cabinet and gave an evil grin. "There you are," she said in a tone that would send shivers up your spine. She grabbed whatever the thing was and some bread, and then started making a sandwich. After she was done, she grabbed a bottle of ketchup and squirted some on the side. This is perfect, she thought, with an evil laugh going on in the background somewhere.

"Alright, is everybody good?" Yang asked. Everybody gave some sort of 'yes' answer, although that might have been a moan of enjoyment from Nora due to the pancake hanging out of her mouth. "Alright, Team WYNR, onward to victory!" Weiss rolled her eyes but followed.

Truth be told, Weiss did actually like her team. Yes, Ruby was young and immature; yes, Yang was sometimes obnoxious and made the most horrible puns known to mankind and yes, even Blake after she revealed herself as a Faunus. But they were her team and for all their faults, they more than made up for it in other ways.

Didn't mean that they still annoyed her on occasion.

WYNR retraced their steps back to their dorm rooms, slightly more subdued than before, but still lively, making small talk amongst themselves.

Then when they were almost at their rooms they all heard a scream of what sounded like terror. Strange thing was is that it sounded like it came from Blake.

"Blake's in trouble!" Nora shouted.

"Relax, I'm sure it's nothing." Weiss said, hoping it were so.

"Anyway, let's get back to our other halves. Say goodnight to Jaune and Pyrrha for us." Yang said cheerfully.

"We will." Ren said and they went inside their dorm.

Yang opened the door to their own room, carrying their plates with their partner's food. "Hey guys, we're back!" Yang said. "We brought food, and what was that scream we heard down the hall?"

Blake and Ruby stared at each other and Yang took in the positions they were in. Blake was in front of the computer and Ruby looked like she had been hiding under the pillow she was clutching over her head. Weiss looked uncertainly between the two as she saw something change in their look, as if they shared a secret message. When they both turned at the same time she knew something was up.

"Oh it was nothing," Blake started, "Something just jumped out at me during a game Ruby let me play and startled me."

"It was a really stupid thing too," Ruby added, "nothing to worry about."

"Oh. Okay!" Yang said, brushing it off as she put Blake and her's plate of food down on the table. Weiss followed, still suspicious of Ruby and Blake. "Anyway, we brought you some food. Ruby, Weiss got you some stuff, and Blakey; yours truly brought you a little something.

Blake sniffed and smirked, "I can smell it."

Yang's eyes gleamed, This is it!

"I have to warn you though, there was something a little fishy with the food and needed a little fine tuna-ing, so I put a little cat-chup on the side to make it a-okay."

RWB_ stared at Yang incredulously. Ruby was the first to break as she started snickering. Weiss quickly followed with a glare and a scoff. Blake just stared at Yang in that blank gaze she could hold. "You did all that, just so you could make a pun?"

"Yeap." Yang said, popping the 'p'.

"How do you stand living with her?" Weiss directed the question at Ruby.

"Oh, I cannot imagine a life worse than what I have gone through. The horrors I have heard. I would not wish that on my worst enemies." Ruby said in a dramatic 'woe is me' voice, then paused, "That is, if I have any enemies. Maybe Torchwick?"

"Ah sis, you know you love them," Yang said, talking about her puns.

"In any case, pun or no, thank you Yang," Blake said as she got up and picked up the tuna fish sandwich and took a bite. "Although ketchup isn't my favorite side."

Yang smirked, "Maybe I should 'of gotten tarter sauce. Or is it catnip."

Blake's mouth twitched and she glared, "Try it, and you will perish painfully."

Weiss shifted the attention away from them and asked, "What's this?" She was pointing to the monitor that still had 'Pages 5/8' and 'Click to continue' on it.

"Oh that's the game I bought." Ruby said, now free of her pillow and munching on the cookies Weiss brought. They were gone in about ten seconds, if that. "The point of the game is to find eight pages within the time limit."

"That doesn't seem too hard." Weiss said thoughtfully. Truthfully I do like video games and don't mind playing them… but I have to keep my façade up.

"Well, why don't you give it a try then?" Blake challenged.

Weiss took a look at the screen and shrugged, "Sure."

"Ooh ooh ooh! I have an idea!" Ruby exclaimed. "Why don't both Weiss and Yang play at the same time?"

"Isn't it a single player game?" Weiss asked.

"Well, I suppose one of you could take the mouse," Blake started.

"Which you want, right? Get it, 'cause you're a cat?" Yang said teasingly, ignoring Ruby and Weiss' groans.

Blake barely spared her a glance and continued, "and the other can do the walking."

"Walking's the arrow keys?" Yang asked.

"No, 'WASD'." Ruby answered.

"Okay, I'll take movement then."

Weiss considered, "I suppose it'll be easier for me then to take the mouse then. Yang, shut up." Weiss added as she opened her mouth, preemptively cutting her off of whatever pun she would have made.

"Okay then, let me reset the game and you two can start." Blake exited out of the game and pulled out the earphones, and then turned up the volume. "Sorry Ruby."

"That's okay. I'll handle it." Ruby said, taking her position on her bed, more relaxed than before. Weiss looked at her. She does look sort of adorable like that… What are you thinking Weiss?!

Yang pulled up a chair on the left of Weiss. "Okay, let's do this!"

Weiss glanced at Yang, "Just don't mess up."

"I highly doubt that'll happen in this game… what is it again?"

"It's over there," Blake pointed out. Weiss clicked on it.

"'Slender- The Eight Pages'… Slender? Really? What's that?"

Ruby and Blake looked at each other in confusion. "We… really don't know. It's just some man that is in the games and collects the pages from you." Oh this is just too good, Blake thought evilly.

"Blake! I just realized, 'Slender' and he's a man! Slenderman!" Ruby said excitedly, finally having a name for the… Okay, don't think too hard about him Ruby, he's scary.

"That works." Blake admitted.

Meanwhile Yang and Weiss had looked over the controls and started the game. "Alright, we'll have to work as a team to have a sledner chance of winning."

"Just… stop with the puns." Weiss moaned.

The main menu opened up and the music came through the dorm of Team RWBY. Ruby squeaked and hid under the pillow, not liking the sound. Blake watched Yang and Weiss' reactions.

She was not disappointed.


"Oh goddamnit, this is a horror game isn't it?" Yang shouted in dismay as the menu came up.

"What, a horror game? I don't think that…" Weiss tried to get out of this.

"You already started playing, can't back out now!" Blake said with glee.

Yang and Weiss glared at Blake. Ruby popped up again, "Don't worry, it'll be…" She trailed off mysteriously.

"Ruby?" Weiss prompted, not liking that she drifted off.

"Just start the game," was Ruby's short response.

"Oh well, let's do this then! Weiss, hit start."

"Hmph, fine." The game started with the now familiar 'Parsec Productions' label, then 'Presents', and finally 'Slender-The Eight Pages'.

"Okay, sounds like we're walking out at night then," Weiss commented.

"I don't know why we're climbing over this fence," Yang said as the title rolled away. "If it were me I'd bust through it and-"

"Introduce yourself with some bad pun I'm sure." Weiss muttered.

"Hey, you threw off the pun!"

"Was there even one there?" Weiss asked.

"There was going to be. Each one is its own re-word," Yang defended, throwing in another pun.

"Right. The next pun that comes out of your mouth-" Weiss started.

"Will get some pun-isment?" Yang said with that stupid smirk of hers. Ruby giggled at that, somewhat muffled as her mouth was in the pillow. Even Blake snorted a bit.

Goddamnit Yang. She's so quick-witted in the worst way. Weiss gave up and noticed the goal of the game on the screen. "Only eight? That doesn't seem like a lot."

Yang shook her head, "Nope, not really. Which way should we go?"

Weiss moved the mouse so they were facing left then. "This way."

"Alright, here we go! Going to find the Slenderman's diary thingy." Yang started walking forward. "Sounds like we're stepping on cereal," Yang commented after half a second.

"It… kinda' does." Weiss grudgingly admitted. "It is a nice night though." She made the person look up at the sky.

"Hey, watch it, I can't see where we're going!" Yang grouched.

"We're in the middle of a forest walking down a dirt path, there's not much else to see." Weiss however did lower the flashlight back in front of them though, just in time to see that creepy tree.

"That looks different."

"Probably a page on it," Weiss commented as they strafed around the tree, their feet crunching the ground.

After making a full circle around the tree, Yang added, "Or not. Oh wait, there!" Indeed there was a page. Yang moved forward and to the side a bit so Weiss could click it. The page said 'Don't Look… Or It Takes You', with a stick figure on the side.

"Well that's encouraging." Weiss muttered as she clicked the page.

Pages 1/8.

And then that echoing drum noise started again for the third time that night.

Thum… thum… thum… thum…

Ruby squeaked and hid under the pillow, having a mini-flashback to when she played. Blake twitched but otherwise didn't react.

"Oh great, they didn't even give us a roll off," Yang said.

"Let's just find the next page." Weiss pointed them in the direction they were going before they hit the tree. Dust, that thumping noise is starting to get to me and I haven't even been playing for that long, Weiss thought. They followed the path and soon came to a truck with a trailer behind it.

"Well that's normal for being in the middle of the woods." Yang said.

"Surprisingly that is true," Blake said. Though most of the trucks we found were covered in claw marks and completely unusable, she thought back to her time in the White Fang.

They started walking around the truck when Yang said, "Wait, look back to the front of the truck," Weiss obliged her. "What brand is that truck?" Yang asked as she looked at it.

Weiss just stared incredulously at her. "Does it really matter? We need to find the next page."

Yang zoomed in and said, "It looks like a 'C' and a 'D' merged together."

"What does?"

"The logo on the truck."

"It's nothing! It's gibberish! I'm pretty sure the truck in this game isn't actually a model!" Weiss shouted at Yang. Dust we've only been playing this for a few minutes, how are we going to beat the game?

"Meh, it's not like I'd drive that or anything. I have too much class for that thing," Yang said, finally giving up looking at it and moving to the left. Weiss just growled and pushed her frustration away. It didn't help that the constant thumping noise was still going on. They moved to the side of the trailer and saw another page.

"Yes, another page!" This one said 'Always Watches… No Eyes' with a circle that had two 'x's where the eyes might have gone. Weiss clicked it.

Pages 2/8.

Thum… thum… thum… thum…

"We're doing really well I think." Yang said.

"As well as we did," Ruby mentioned.

"Hey, let us feel good about ourselves for a little while," she shot back.

Weiss and Yang continued forward, or at least forward in a general direction. "Okay, where are we? All I see are trees."

"We're in a forest, of course there's trees!" Weiss grounded out.

"But I mean, do you know where we're going? Because I don't."

"No, I don't, but we're going in this direction and I'm sticking with it."

That's a change from the Emerald forest, Ruby thought with a hint of a smile.

After a minute, Weiss had better luck as they came across a blue tanker truck. "Another truck?"

"The last one was better."

"Yeah, no one cares." Weiss said.

"Hey, don't dis vehicles, otherwise you might get tired."

Everybody blinked. "Okay Yang, that was really bad."

"Then don't say anything about vehicles." Weiss sighed in frustration; her hackles rising even further, not helped by the game's audio.

Thum… thum… thum… thum…

They went around the truck, but after doing a complete circle, they didn't see anything. "Okay then, there's nothing." Yang said.

Well, almost nothing.

"Ah, that was him!" Weiss shouted in fright, seeing a faceless man at the edge of the flashlight's vision. .

"Where where where?" Yang repeated urgently, not seeing the thing.

Then the screen 'blipped'.

Ruby yelped and hid under the pillow again. Blake did a small jump in her chair, getting a small smile out of it afterwards. Yep, definitely a good game.

"AHHHHHH! GO GO GO GO GO!" Yang started screaming as she slammed the sprint button and Weiss directed where they went, after she got her hand under control from jerking around. "Holy fuck I didn't see him, did you see him?" Yang apparently lost control of her mouth by this point, but nobody seemed to mind right then.

Weiss nodded, "I saw him and then it went 'bleep'!"

"We need to go now!"

"You're the one with the keyboard!"

"Well you're steering us into the forest and we've lost sight of the path!"

"That sprint threw me off, we're staring at the stupid ground and I can't see where we're going!"

Yang let off on the sprint and everyone could hear the character's heavy breathing. "Well there, have some fun!" She threw her hands up in exasperation.

"Don't stop!" Weiss shouted in a panic.

"I stopped for a second, shut up." Yang growled at Weiss. She took control of the keyboard again and they started walking aimlessly.

Thum… thum… thum… thum…

"Ah! It's the fence, it's a dead end." Weiss moaned.

"Well then turn the other damn way!" Yang shot back. Weiss' eye twitched again, more violently this time. However she did turn the other way back into the forest.

"There!" After a minute of wandering, they saw a concrete tube.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Yang said.

"Well suck it up and let's go." They went inside the tube and on the other end they saw another note. This one said…

"'Can't Run.' Yea we literally can't run more than a few feet without this girl busting a gut or something." Yang said as they picked it up.

Pages 3/8.

The sound changed so that there was a droning noise in the background in addition to the thumping. Ruby groaned again and retreated further into her pillow.

"Hey, just out of curiosity, how many pages did you two get?" Weiss asked.

"Well, I got four," Ruby said.

"Five." Blake said for herself.

Weiss made a non-committal noise and moved her flashlight so they were walking somewhat diagonally from where they came.

Static rapidly started forming on the screen, with the classic whining sound following. "Uh oh, turn around turn around turn around!" Yang said, panicked.

"On it!" Weiss made a sharp left and they continued that way, with Yang using the sprint again. The static went down and disappeared. "So he pops up randomly?"

"No, he follows," Ruby said. "Always watches."

"Okay Ruby, we get enough of that from the game. Don't need that from you."

Ruby blinked twice. "Oh. Sorry. Didn't realize…" She trailed off.

Thum… thum… thum… thum…

After another minute or two the flashlight was becoming noticeably dimmer. "Okay seriously, I want to burn this fuuuu-ricking forest to the ground," Yang growled out, watching her language, "but all we have is a flashlight that running out of batteries."

"I understand and want to do the same thing too." Weiss said.

"Like when you burned part of the Emerald Forest?" Ruby chimed in.

"That was your fault."

"Hey! No it wasn't!" Ruby defended herself from her bed overhead.

"You got in my way!" Weiss turned around and glared at her partner.

"You were taking too long!"

"Speaking of taking too long, Weiss, we're currently running into a tree." Yang interrupted.

"Oh whoops!" Weiss corrected that and they found themselves in a small clearing with six wooden poles, one of which had a page on it. "Yes!" They went over to it and gave it a glance. This one had a drawing of the Slenderman in the center with two columns of 'No No No No No No's on either side.

Pages 4/8.

"Halfway there!"

"Livin' on a prayer?"

"Actually, yes. Yes we are." Weiss said.

That ended abruptly.

Suddenly there was a slamming piano noise and everybody jumped. But even more so when the screen rapidly filled with static until Slenderman's face appeared behind the static.

Pages 4/8.

Click to Continue.

There was silence in the room at the abrupt end, made even more noticeable without the constant sounds the game made.

"ARGH! Goddamnit!" Weiss shouted and stood up in frustration. Yang just hit her head on the desk, avoiding the keyboard of course, and kept her face there.

"Wow, you guys didn't even make it to the bathroom," Ruby commented.

"Now that we've played, I it that might have been a good thing we ended there," Weiss said as her heart rate calmed down a bit.

"Yeah, not playing that again." Yang said, her face still on the desk.

"I think that's the last time we will anyway," Blake said as she gently moved Yang out of the way so she could quit the game and shut down the computer. "I think that it's time that we got some rest."

"Yea, we need it." Yang said, finally lifting her head up, a red mark on her forehead.

"I'm going to get ready for bed then," Weiss said and made her way to the bathroom.

"Okay then."


After everybody was done with the bathroom, Ruby found herself on her bed with her diary open in front of her. Hmm, where to start? Ruby thought as she chewed slightly on the pen. After a moment she started writing.

Today was awesome! During breakfast, my plans for today got derailed slightly but we had one epic food fight with Team JNPR, which I won by myself! Ha! Take that!

Anyway, the rest of the day was just as fun. We played several games and JNPR got invited over many times.

Towards the end of the day, I went into Vale to try and get something to end the day with. I ended up getting three- no four games, three were for the Team, the last one I'll get to in a moment. Team JNPR and my team played Super Crash. Bros., the new one, until Weiss, Yang, Ren, and Nora decided to get food.

At this point I decided to play the game I had bought on a whim, called 'Slender- The Eight Pages'. I don't know why exactly I bought it, but it caught my eye for some reason. So I sat down and started playing.

I didn't realize it was a scary game! The purpose of the game is to collect 8 pages. I don't know what happens next because none of us have gotten past 5 yet, and that was Blake. I got 4 on my play, and don't want to play that game again. When you collect your first page you start being chased by a thing, which we called the Slenderman. It's scary because he doesn't have a face and has really long arms, and the music and sound just gives me the shivers.

And the pages are creepy too, like there's one that says 'always watches, no eyes' and another that says 'don't look or it takes you'.

Anyway, after I played it, Blake took a turn, then both Yang and Weiss played at the same time. They were going at it, with each other anyway. There were a lot of bad words, but nothing I haven't heard Yang mutter when she thinks I'm not around. Not going to let her know that though! (Or Dad!) Tee-hee!

So, I'm pretty sure that we're not going to play it again. Although maybe I'll kidnap Jaune and force him to play. Nah, he's too nice, I can't do that to him. Slender is just going to stay on that computer until it dies. Probably for the best.

Although it was… I don't know. I can't describe it. Fun? Maybe? Well, yes, but I'm thinking of something else.

Oh well, I guess that does it for today, goodnight me!

Ruby giggled at the ending and just sat there with the pen moving absently on the paper. I wonder what we're going to be doing tomorrow? Ruby shrugged and took the pen away and closed her diary, replacing it in her trunk and curled up in her bed.

A few minutes later she was asleep like the rest of her team.

Unknown to her, in her diary she had just drawn a sketchy stick figure with long arms and no face.


*: True story, I worked at a camp where they served Tater-tot Casserole. Past tense. It was overwhelmingly voted out of the meals by both the staff and the campers.


Well, I learned something in this chapter, puns are hard. I hope I did an okay job with this.
