Yang woke up for no reason, suddenly very energized. She was rather confused about this since it would take her at least six alarms to wake her up on a good day. There was no light seeping through her blinds which meant it was early. She looked to her clock.

well might as well play some call of battle 4, she thought to herself. Yang got up and walked to her bookcase in the bedroom which was nearly entirely filled with video games and without a single book in sight. she found her desired game abmnd opened the case as she walked to the console. once the game was deposited inside the black box she donned her custom yellow nerve gear helmet.
Yang laid down before saying "Nerve start" she closed her eyes.
Blake sat waiting for her friend, nerve gear in her lap. It was the old black model from when it first came out a few years back. A few scratches adorned the clunky more recent models were a sleek shiny grey. The scratches were not of her doing, she bought it used a while back when the red ring sent people on a craze to get one of the new models. Her's worked fine and never got the rare and dreaded red ring. She could hardly contain herself as she pawed her new game, though as always, she managed to seem stoic. There was a knock at the door and she practically jumped to her feet to answer it, making sure though that she had a good enough grip on her equipment before she did. The door opened to reveal her friend standing with a smile.
"Ready?" Weiss asked despite knowing the answer before she asked it.
"Yeah, just gotta check the mail" she said as they walked down the dirveway,
"Expecting something?" Weiss was curious, blake'd been getting these letters for the past few weeks. Weiss didn't ask about them but she was starting to worry that it was a collection agency she'd been blowing off; it didn't sound like Blake to first off take out a loan and second to blow off responsibility, however she knew poor people did desperate things.
"Yeah..."
"What?" Weiss was growing impatient but knew Blake'd make her prod a bunch to get even a little information. She liked annoying her like that and Weiss would be lying if she didn't kind of like it.
"Just a letter" Blake opened the mailbox and produced the predicted envelope but it also a small box
"It's not a collection agency right?" Weiss demanded earning a scoff from the Faunus.
"You know I don't trust or use banks." Blake chuckled as they moved to the car. Blake ripped open the envelope and pulled out the paper after they had gotten into the back of the heiress' limo. It was odd that Blake was so comfortable just getting in a limo as though it was her's, but Weiss and her were in it enough do the novelty eventually wore off. Weiss noted it did look like an actual hand written letter, however it was in a business format.
Blake was scanning the letter and gave a hum of curious approval when she finished. Weiss couldn't handle it much more.
"Who is it!" She demanded
"My father" Blake reached into the small cardboard box
"What did he want?" Weiss asked before Blake pulled out a smaller white box with a phone picture on it.
"He apparently wants to reconcile me back into the family." She said before opening the box and pulling out a smartphone. She turned it on and saw it had already been mostly set up. She opened it up to contacts to see 'Father' as the only one. "Hmph," and put it in her pocket.
"Are you considering it? Even after he kept trying to marry you to those creeps?" Weiss would hate to see her friend be put back into such a detestable situation.
"As much as I'd prefer to not to work so much," Weiss tried to interject that she didn't have to if she's just take a little help, but Blake stopped her "I'll be damned if I become dependent on anyone again." The car stopped in the parking lot of a King Donald's, it was a badly kept secret that Weiss loved cheap common food.
Blake looked at her questioningly.
"I figured we should get something quick since we'll be in for a while and we don't have a lot of time before servers go live." Weiss said earning a shrug from the Faunus.

"Ah, Blake! It's good to see you again!" The mustached father exclaimed as he removed the cigar from his mouth.
"Hello Mr. Schnee!" Blake cheerily said
"How many times do I need to tell you? Call me Jacque." Jacque chuckled, "here try this," he said handing the cigar to Blake, "Just received a few boxes from Vacuo." Blake perked up at hearing 'Vacuo'. Those were expensive, and for good reason, Vacuo tobacco was far finer than anywhere else, but it was a closely guarded secret by the isolationist nation.
she took a drag and fell into extacy. They were amazing. Jacque read her expression.
"I'll give you your own when you two are finished, have fun you two." and with that, the pair continued upstairs to the game room. They arrived and began hooking Blake's machine up next to Weiss'. The machines were almost opposites, Weiss' was a shiny white new model in perfect condition. She had ordered it specially from nerve gear who was happy to comply for the extra $100.

Yang could hardly contain her excitement as she touched her body all over. Every single inch mattered for calibration, even her... private areas. This game was truly revolutionary optional sex could occur and she intended to take advantage of it. Besides, the system needed to know the dimensions of the player so it could read nueral commands properly.
Now for her character creation, she messed around with it until she got what she wanted. As did all the girls
