Roving aimlessly up and down the quasi-dim halls restlessly was Ruby, her gray eyes hectically darting around as she was trying to obscure the bags under her eyes from the austere practices she had been doing that week for Weiss and Pyrrha, although it was chiefly Weiss who was pushing her to play convoluted songs while also rigorously fussing at her when she made too many mistakes at once, yet every time break happened, Pyrrha would have apologized to her for Weiss's harsh attitude. Ruby's toothbrush was merely sitting in her mouth as her hands were flattening her hair while the brush was detangling the tangles that had formed in her sleep.
It didn't take a genius to be able to connect the dots and apprehend what Weiss was doing to her, not when all the draconian principles didn't occur until after she had asked Weiss to join her to solely hang out and get to know each other. Ruby felt all she was doing now was getting dressed to go and meet her dissolution once and for all, yet some part of Ruby still infirmly clung to the optimistic belief that some good would have happened that day, she just had to try a little harder.
Ruby represses another yawn that was attempting to arise, yet the action of repressing the yawn caused a small tear to form in her left eye as she lumbered into her bedroom that was completely chaotic. Clothes were dispersed all over her floor while some were lined up on her bed which had the covered pushed up to the top of it, and being the rough sleeper she was, her bed, in general, was messy, yet the only reason for her room being that way was for the fact as soon as she had aroused she began to rummage cursorily through her stuff for something to wear that day for her and Weiss's get together.
Ruby lumbered over to the dresser which had all the drawers to it pulled open from her earlier scouring for an outfit that was felicitous enough to impress Weiss's taste, and nevertheless, Ruby finds nothing but a bunch of colorful shirts that Weiss would have most likely saw as adolescent. Ruby felt tenacious towards following out through Emerald's entire plan since all she wanted was Weiss to be less spiteful towards her, but when the cognizance that this plan actually entirely rested upon her shoulder, she began to feel even more apprehensive.
Ruby knew she was somewhat timid or as some people called her, awkward, but she had never felt this nervous about being around someone. Was it dismay that drove her to feel uneasy around Weiss? Was it the fear that she would have hurt the woman's feelings somehow since Weiss was different? Ruby took a deep breath before she lethargically exhaled the air through her nose in dejection of her lack of opulent clothing, which had caused Ruby to have to settle for wearing a pair of black legging jeans and a black shirt that had a white undershirt with long sleeves under it with an image of two skeletons saying 'lets dance.'
"I give up! I tried!" Both of Ruby's hands rose up to her hair and began to dishevel it out of grievance, yet as soon as she was done she raised the shirt she had gotten above her head and conscientiously slid the shirt over her head in a swift motion until her head popped up from the neck of the shirt, which she then unbuttoned the front of the jeans and bent down a bit so that she could have lifted her right leg and slipped it into the legs of the pants, repeating the same action for her left leg as well. "What else, what else," Ruby mused as she was glancing around the room with the toothbrush still in her mouth.
Ding-Ding-Ding dong
The sound of the doorbell ringing resonated out through the lower floor of Ruby's home, indicating as normal that someone was at her door, yet what was not normal was whoever it was at her door was recurringly pressing on the doorbell, causing the sound of each ring to get cut off by another until the sixth ring, which then the doorbell was allowed to linger until it gradually dwindled out. Ruby soon after heard a familiar voice blatantly yelling from down the hall at the door, provoking a sigh and groan from Ruby. "Ayo! Rubyyy! Are you awake yet?! You know what, if you don't mind I'm going to let myself into your home, although you know, if this isn't Ruby's home, try not to shoot at us!"
Ruby's eyes enlarged as she heard the last part that Emerald had just said, and she expeditiously reeled around on her feet until she was facing her bedroom door. "My door is locked.." Ruby gulped as she hastily sprinted over to her door frame and placed her hands on the frame of the door before she nervously leaned over somewhat so she could see her door that was straight down the hall. "What is she.." Ruby watched and listened to the doorknob as it jiggled and made noises before ultimately after a minute the door's lock clicked backward. "She didn't.." Ruby muttered under her breath in disbelief as she watched the doorknob turned open, and the sunlight began to shine through the small crack of the door that was opening.
Ruby winced and lifted her right arm up and used the back of her palm to block out the gleam of the sun as the door was pushed open and revealed Emerald, Ren, and Velvet as they strided into her home through the door. Emerald was putting away some sort of screwdriver back into a black pouch while she had her hand rose up, signalling the other two to watch her back as she slipped the black pouch back into her pocket and looked around. "Are you positive that this is Ruby's address Emerald? And if so, where is Ruby? I knew we should have waited outside like normal people Emerald; we probably scared her or something.." Velvet crossed her left arm under her right one and rested her right elbow on top of her left arm as she used her knuckles to hide her mouth while she glanced around the house. "We should apologize for this as soon as we find her."
Ren discreetly had turned around and shut Ruby's front door while he turned the lock so that it relocked Ruby's door. "Velvet relax, Emerald had fortuitously only managed to pick lock the lock with little effort. Thus, the door is fine." Ren serenely elucidated Velvet as he kept turning the lock back and forth, showing the brunette woman that Ruby's door was still fully functional. "But towards your other worries, I wouldn't fret myself too much over this since this is mostly Emerald's plan, and our tasks are to minorly give Ruby helpful pushes and then to go with the flow." Ren cleared his throat as he reeled around and dusted the front of his shirt off and began to walk down the hall towards Ruby's door with a deadpan expression. "Ruby, I see your shoes."
As soon as Ruby had heeded Ren's words and looked down, she perceived that her left leg was further out of the frame of the door than her body, and as a consequence, Emerald atrociously laughed at Ruby's first mistake before she sprinted down the hall, nudging Ren over into the wall to get past him while Ruby somewhat squeaked as she saw the green haired woman charging towards her door and turned around to run back further into her room, yet as Emerald made it to the end of the hall, she slid to a halt and lunged into Ruby's room, leaving Velvet and Ren to quirk brows as they heard the sounds of objects falling over while the sudden tumult ended with the sound of a body falling to the floor before they heard Ruby grunt and groan. "Hahaha! Where do you think you were going to go Ruby?!"
Ruby gurgled and coughed out a bunch of toothpaste since she didn't had the time to take the toothbrush out of her mouth before Emerald had pounced on her and was now sitting on her back with her arms pulled behind her. "Aha..Agh..Ugh." Ruby wheezed as she relinquished the resolution to get Emerald off her spine since every time she moved Emerald pulled her arms back further. "..." Ruby gurgled profoundly as she rested her forehead down on the floor and closed her eyes, causing Emerald's laughter to grow even louder since she had successfully taken Ruby down.
"Sorry Rookie, but you can't elude your little raft that's about to be free floating in some Weiss waters, we've got to brace you for the great Weiss sharks that lie in them waters." Emerald snickers as she heard Ruby gurgle a whimper as she modified her position on her back so that she was complacent. Emerald traced her finger around Ruby's back, causing Ruby to shiver while Ren and Velvet sauntered into the room to see Emerald trifling with Ruby, who was pinned down to the floor. "Relax, the more you tense up, the worse this hurts me, I mean, well, essentially you, but I mean, I'm the host here you know?" Ruby snorted at what Emerald had just said to her.
"Emerald, get off Ruby, you're vexing the poor woman again, and you do know that she could arraign for quite a few things in this situation, so before all of us go to penitentiary, get off her." Ren crossed his arms with a deadpan expression as Emerald rolled her eyes at what he had just said while Ruby's gray eyes were attempting to glance over to Ren with an imploring expression that begged for help. "Also look what you've done to Ruby's room, you completely demolished it, you should feel abashed for this Emerald." Ruby's pupils narrowed as she gulped at what Ren had said since her room had been that way except for a few minor changes, yet the embarrassment caused Ruby to look back down at the floor censurably.
"Ren, you really should do what you said earlier, which is just go with the flow. You're making my job fatiguing! Do you know how hard it was to actually managed to get Ruby on her knees the first attempt? I had to literally ensnare her then pounce on her! I deserve this seat, and Ruby wouldn't sue me, she obviously loves me so much that she can't stop drooling, Ruby is subservient unlike you Ren." Emerald huffs as she pats Ruby's disheveled hair. "Now Velvet if you could please hand me the stuff I need and, uh, does any of us have any sort of empty can?"
Ren let out an protracted sigh as Velvet delved her hand into her pocket momentarily before she pulled out a black ear piece in between her middle and index finger. "Alright, just, uh," Velvet tactfully nudged Ren over and began to plod over towards Ruby's dresser where a half empty coke can was, yet when Velvet noticed Ruby's gray eyes sluggishly glancing up to her, she lifted up her hand and mouthed over an apology. "Sorry Ruby, you'll have to condone my actions for now.." Ruby's brows scrunched as she went back to looking at the floor since no one would help avail her at the moment. "Sorry.." Velvet reached her hand out and grabbed the coke can before she turned back to Emerald and sauntered over to her and handed the coke can as well as the earpiece over to her. "Why is it that you even need an empty can?" Velvet inquired inquisitively.
Emerald held the half empty coke can by the top before she shook it a little so that the inside liquid was swooshed around, apprising Emerald of how much coke was left in the can. "Well," Emerald brought the open coke to her lips and tipped the drink upwards so that all the remaining coke was pouring outward into her mouth, yet after a minute of drinking the rest of the coke inside the can, Emerald lowered the drink with a gratified sigh. "That question could essentially coincide with the question of why we need to breathe Velvet," Emerald sedately interpreted to Velvet.
Emerald shifts on Ruby's back until her body was facing towards Ruby's head which was laid on the floor since Ruby strifing against the green haired woman who was older than her and much heavier was futile, although Emerald leaned forward on Ruby's back and slithered her right arm around Ruby's head until her hand was in front of Ruby's forehead, which she then placed her hand on Ruby's forehead and lifted her entire head up off the ground while she adjusted Ruby's arms under her so she could have sat on them and used her other arm to bring the empty coke can to in front of Ruby's mouth. "The woman needs to speak right?"
Ruby peered at the coke can in confusion as Emerald repeatedly was brushing it up against her lips while her cheeks were puffed out from all toothpaste that had accumulated from mixing with her saliva. "Spit the toothpaste out into here Ruby." Emerald cooed while she enticingly wiggled the can side to side for Ruby, however, the brunette tries to turn her head away from the can since she didn't feel very comfortable with everyone's peering eyes staring at her expectantly as if she was supposed to just spit into a coke can. "Ruby, come on, spit." Emerald shakes Ruby's head a little before she moved the can closer to Ruby's mouth again, and after a minute, Ruby groaned before she leaned forward and spat out everything that was in her mouth, even going as far as scrapping the toothpaste on her tongue off with her teeth. "Okay, good, now time to clip the cow!"
"Emerald what the heck are you doing at m-?! Ouch!" Just as Ruby had tried to speak and interrogate Emerald, she felt something being shoved into her ear, which felt small, but it still hurt enough to make Ruby yelp. "Emerald! Get off me, you're really heavy, and you're hurting my spine! Secondly I was indisputably sure that I locked my door last night, how are you all in here?!" Ruby yowled as Emerald was adjusting the earpiece in her ear so that it wasn't facilely seen sticking out, although that only lasted a second before Emerald grunted and began to stand up off of Ruby's back feeling satiated with her job. "Wha-?" As soon as Emerald had gotten of Ruby, she began to push off the floor while Emerald lifted her own hand up to the central brain of Ruby's ear piece and activated it on everyone.
"Thiis is your favorite host, Emerald Sustrai, and today we infiltrate the hen's home," Emerald smirked as she spoke since Ruby had lifted her hand to her ear where Emerald's emphatic voice was resounding, the mono for the earpiece making Emerald's voice crystal clear, yet since Ruby hadn't been anticipating Emerald's voice to echo in her ear so loudly, it caused the brunette to jump a little in startlement. Emerald reached her hand up again and turned off her earpiece's connection line to Ruby's wireless adapter that served for the purpose of what Emerald needed it to. "Alright Rookie, listen to me and listen to me well, today will be helping you win the friendship of our friend Weiss, each of us," Emerald turns a little and opens her palm as she shows the other two. "Have lines that can and will connect to your earpiece to give advice. Roger?"
Ruby gulps aversively as she felt a lump forming in her throat at the technology Emerald had just embedded into her ear since she knew there was no escape for her now. "S-so, like um, you mean you'll be able to hear everything I say? Even our conversations? And if you give me advice, wouldn't that mean she'll like me for what you say instead of what I say?" Ruby's shoulders slump as Emerald lifted the pair of shades that had been sitting on her shirt to her eyes and nodded.
"Ruby, there is only so much we can do for you, and other than this I'm clueless on how to help you, our goal right now, is to make Weiss not hate you." Ruby looked at her floor when Emerald said the word hate since that was always a strong word to Ruby, but Emerald claps her hands together and slides her right foot out towards the door before she pointed towards it as well. "Grab your hairbrush and let's head out guys! We've got a busy day ahead of us, and there's no time to waste! Go go!" Velvet and Ren moseyed on out of the door with Emerald and Ruby close behind since they had to grab her hairbrush.
20 Minutes ride- Ruby's POV-
Ruby revved her car as she progressively drove down the same road that Cas had been taking her that week while her interior rear mirror was adjusted so that it was primarily fixated on the 2015 Bentley Continental GT V8 car behind her that would periodically roar at her rear from Emerald who had been driving the car with the roof of the car pulled back, bringing to car to a slow down before she ultimately stepped on the gas and made the engine muscle whirr to life. Everytime Emerald would have made the car roar behind her, Ruby jumped a little since her side window had been opened, and the sound of the car that was tailing her rear was vociferous.
Ruby's radio was turned onto the CD playlist that contained her most favorite piano songs and was playing music softly in the background since she didn't want to blare her music for the fact that everyone's earpieces were on, and they could all hear everything that she was doing, but the main reason was Ruby was just unconsciously being considerate and thoughtful as normal since even when she wasn't trying it was just something that was an impetuous instinct that she had. Ruby abruptly heard the sound of static resonating in her ear as Emerald's line picked up and the sound of wind steadily blowing into Emerald's earpiece was heard, although it caused Ruby to glance over to the mirror only to see the green haired woman had risen up in her seat and was now waving her arm at her while she also was using her right hand to control the wheel. "He-Hey Ruby! I see Weiss's house in the distance! We're going to pull over and park in the trees or something! Your mission is to get Weiss out the house!" Emerald yelled over the wind towards Ruby, yet suddenly Emerald loses control on the wheel from freaking out as a giant bug flew in her face, and made the car nearly swerve off the road. "Ahhf! It crawled in my nose!"
Ruby briskly reeled her entire head around as she saw the car swerved off the road, and Emerald fell back in her seat while Ren had hastily managed to grab the wheel before they crashed into a tree. "Oh, my gosh! Are you guys okay?!" Ruby finally spoke up in solicitude as she slowed her car down so she could continue to glance back at Emerald's car that was now parked, yet none of the lines picked up, causing Ruby to panic as she looked back forward, about to make a giant-U turn even though it would be illegal from the lane she was in.
Velvet's line activates and the other brunette was panting as she was only about to clarify that they had survived, although in the background Ruby heard Emerald wheezing and gagging as she complained about the bug going too far in her nose that it was in her mouth. "We're fine, we're fine, just continue to Weiss.." Ruby sighs in alleviation at the knowledge that they were okay, however, as soon as Ruby turned her head back to the road since the stone walls and the steel gates were coming into sight, as well as the top half of the manor, she retrospects something that Weiss had previously told her.
"No please.." Ruby bemoaned under her breath as the desire to repeatedly tap her forehead against her steering wheel arose from the realization that she had forgotten to call Weiss and notify her that she was now on her way. "I couldn't have already messed up.." Ruby reiteratively murmured under her breath as she brought her car to a gentle halt in front of the steel gates, immediately putting her car into park before she leaned forward and did exactly what she wanted, beat her head against the top of the steering wheel until she accidentally hit her head on the horn of the car, which had managed to startle her, as well as cause a sudden flash to flicker from somewhere on the stone wall as it took a picture of her entire car. "Velvet, I forgot to tell Weiss I was coming.."
Velvet's line soon activates again after a few seconds had passed since she had been dealing with her own issues on the EVR side. "Sorry about this Ruby, Ren and Emerald are arguing about who's going to drive now since Emerald had almost just ran us into a tree." Velvet collectedly says to Ruby since someone in their group had to be the calm one, and while everyone on her side was freaking out, she had to help Ruby stay calm. "If what you said earlier was true, then I want you to stay tranquil no matter what. You're going to have to go up to Weiss's room and get her, remember, keep your cool no matter what, and don't worry, if you need help I'll do my best. As for the gates that are probably shut, don't worry, I'll open it, so it doesn't take the long process of letting you in since your car doesn't have the built-in system as ours do."
Ruby heard Velvet's line shut off before she could demur the whole idea of her going to Weiss's room precipitously since that by itself was an appalling idea, it could have ended worser than sending a single mouse into a cat's heaven. Ruby watched as the steel gates began to push inward towards the manor, beckoning Ruby to drive forward, yet Ruby kept her car in park until the gates extended fully inward with a little rough shake at the end. "I've never been to her room though Velvet.. Do I have to do this? There's not any other way I can somehow signal her that I'm here? Can't you guys just tell her?!" Ruby gulped as she put her car back into drive and unhurriedly stepped her foot on the acceleration pedal, allowing her car to roll haltingly forward through the gates and into the circle driveway of the manor.
Ruby slid her right hand to the top of the steering wheel while she removed her left hand and over slung it over the open window and leaned out of it somewhat as she marveled at the architecture of the manor, still not able to revamp the feelings of infinitesimals towards the building that overshadowed her as if it was nothing. "Well Ruby, if one of us called Weiss and informed her that you were there, then it would make everything skeptical don't you think?" Ruby scrunches her eyebrows down as she thought about what Velvet had just said before nodding her head with a hum of an agreement. "And since you didn't inform Weiss, I'm sorry to say this, but there's not any other way."
Ruby brought her car to a halt in front of the two doors of the manor just as Cas had always done before she leaned forward and twisted the keys until her car's engine shut off with a muted rumbled, which soon after she then pulled her keys out and placed them into her pocket with a heavy sigh, yet Ruby immediately tenses up when she heard Emerald's line activating and the sound of the green haired woman essentially seething under her breathe as Ren had leaned over and opened the car door and was now trying to push her out the driver's side since he was refusing to allow her to drive him anymore. "Grrrr… Ruby! God get off me, Ren! She's right Ruby! You'll live, just go to Weiss's Dutch quarters already! Ack!" Emerald abruptly made a high pitched squeak when Ren successfully pushed her out the door and into the grass where she landed on her back.
"What are you all doing over there?" Ruby asked in disbelief of what she was hearing in her ear, the sudden perception of calamity overriding all Ruby's hopes for the accomplishment of this whole ordeal since all she was wanting was to be friends with Weiss, yet instead she was getting nothing but a deranged start to a day.
"Weiss, she can respect someone's confidence, so, gah! Just be confident, and not arrogant!" Ruby heard Ren say in the background 'like you,' which caused Emerald to groan as she shuffled around on the grass since she was refusing to get up from Ren using his foot to nudge her, signifying silently for Emerald to get off the dirty ground. "If you become too cocky, Weiss might pepper spray you or something painful, so be tentative! Now you get out that car this instant Ruby and you stride into the manor then be the best damn woman you can be! Make me proud my musical partner, make me proud!" Emerald at some point have become ardent with her mandates, but Ruby still warily carried out Emerald's orders and pushed her car door open and leaned forward as she stepped out the car straightening her back, so it gave what she believed to be a poised posture.
Ruby shut her car door before she began to stride towards the two set of doors that led into the manor with an embarrassed look since she could have only assumed how frivolous she looked at that moment to anyone who might have seen her outside. As Ruby advanced forward towards the two doors, Ren's line activated. "Ruby, just solely be yourself, because you convey the impression of an intellectual person, and I'm conclusive when I say that for a few reasons. Weiss is just having a predicament with seeing that. Be optimistic about this." Ren's sanguine consolation caused Ruby to smile a little more as she clutched her hands tightly and came to a halt in front of the manor's doors. "Do whatever you can and if you get stuck we'll try to help."
Ruby gritted her teeth as she lifted up her clutched hand and subtly knocked on the doors, her heart palpitating hard enough that it could somewhat be heard in her own ears as the seconds ticked away, and the concept of her having to go straight to Weiss's room, the place where the woman would possibly be able to murder her for her immense mistake repeated. "I can do this.. I can do this.. I'm Ruby; I've got this.." Ruby began to chant over and over to herself to help get rid of the redundant thoughts that were surging through her head, although after another second passed Ruby heard the door unlock before she watched as the door was pulled inward until it revealed one of the maids who was holding a broom.
The maid and Ruby peered at each other for an elongated amount of time before they both comprehended who was in front of them at the same time. "Miss Rose?" The maid torpidly inquires while Ruby lifted her hand to the back of her head with a nervous chuckle before she lifted her hand and waved at the maid a little, yet before she could say anything to the maid, she felt the maid grab her arm and pull her into the manor, making sure to shut the door behind her. "I am so sorry for that Miss Rose! I didn't recognize you until a few seconds; I'm a little bit tired so if you could excuse me."
Ruby sincerely chuckles at the maid who was holding the broom up next to her with a smile. "Ahaha, it's fine, today is just an outlandish day for everyone huh? I thought I was the only one." Ruby glances around only to belatedly comprehend the fact that most of the maids have been corralled in the main room cleaning the place up since the party was going to be ubiquitous through the entire manor, excluding a few places in the manor though that were going to be thwarted for confidential reasons as Weiss put it.
Ruby's assiduity is abruptly brought back over to the maid when she heard the older woman finally speak in the question of why she was there. "So Miss Rose, to what do we owe the pleasure of having you over at the manor today? Are you perchance looking for one of the musicians? Because if, so I'm afraid they haven't dropped by today.." Ruby laughs even more adroitly as her eyes slowly drifted away from the maid, but she still nodded her head since Emerald, Velvet, and Ren had all been just about 3 miles away from the manor.
"I see.. That's um, that's a shame, I hope they didn't have anything crucial to do up here today.." Ruby strained her sentence out hoping that EVR all didn't have anything important to do that they were omitting, however, Ruby was assuaged when the maid shook her head since Emerald's team didn't have anything to do that day since it was their respite weekend."And to answer your earlier question, I'm um, I'm just here for Weiss? She's here right?" Ruby inquires softly.
"Ah, you're here for Lady Schnee, but, well Miss Rose, Lady Schnee currently resides in her room, and last I have heard, she was very austere when she said she was not to be bothered." The maid tried to earnestly clarify that Weiss was not to be disturbed at that moment while Ruby had lifted her hand to her head and itched at it as she tried to contemplate on what she was supposed to say or even do in her crummy situation. "If you like I could convey whatever it is you have to tell or say to the Lady as soon as she leaves her room though?" Ruby suddenly heard Emerald's line activating in the earpiece, causing Ruby to sigh in relief.
"Dilemmas and pretexts, Ruby, It's all Weiss's hoaxes! Don't divulge the maid too much, simply tell her that Weiss is expecting you, and that's nothing but a little white lie which is only about fifty-fifty percent true, but I mean, we've got some Weiss oceans to conquer! No time shall be wasted! Let's go!" Emerald emboldens Ruby dexterously while the brunette was moderately nodding her head since what Emerald had just said somewhat made sense to her, although the thought of lying to the cordial maid made Ruby scowl a bit.
"Um, well, to be fair with you, Weiss and me actually have been devising a get together to go over a few things, although um, Weiss presumably didn't notify anyone since she wanted to keep it between us.." Ruby apprehensively mumbled since she didn't want to suggest too much for the little tiny lies she had just told the woman since it was already taking so much resolution not to simply blurt out stuff or even jabber like she usually did when she felt tense and nervous, thus that made Ruby an awful liar most of the time.
The maid peered at Ruby scrutinizingly for a few minutes, processing all that Ruby had just interpreted to her before her stare softened, and she smiled at Ruby, seeming to be delighted by the hearsay Ruby had just told her. "Ah, It's a wonderful thing to have the Lady composing more friends again, I was starting to worry that she was shutting herself off from the world with all the work she does." The maid chortles mirthfully before she began to lethargically turn around towards the set of stairs the led to the upper floor of the manor that Weiss had told her she was not allowed to go up. "Alright Miss Rose, right this way, I'll walk you to the Lady's room." Ruby scrunched her eyebrows down at what the maid had just said before she began to follow the woman towards the stairs, the feeling of perplexity and interest in the new information obtained from the woman causing Ruby's nervous feelings to slowly degenerate.
Ruby watched as the maid lifted up the broom, so it was at her side as they made it to the stairs and began to attentively walk up them before she heard Emerald's line activate. "Ay! Nice one Ruby! Onward to the Queen Dutches room!" Ruby listened to the sound of Emerald's line cutting off after she had said that, leaving Ruby alone to think about the entire plan.
Ren's POV
Ren had the roof of the car lowered down as he listened to Emerald felicitate Ruby while she was sitting on the hood of her car pivoting the long segment part of her hair on her shoulder as she was staring out towards the direction of the manor, however, as soon as Emerald had lifted her hand up to her ear, she turned off her earpiece's line, then slid off the car and began to saunter around the rest of the hood of her car to the passenger side where she then opened the door and slid into the car with the rest of them. "Ren, you have no etiquettes for literally pushing a woman out of a car. Shame on you." Emerald chastised Ren for his earlier behavior and actions while Ren rolled his eyes with a reticent sigh.
"You do grasp the concept that this entire scheme is a bad idea? You are essentially interfering with the integral of friendship? You are prohibiting artificial friendship with the way we are handling this, although I'm not going to precisely stop you Emerald. We're merely spectators who will give small conversation starter tips." Ren explained their actions in a spirited manner as he glanced over to Emerald, who merely shrugged before she lifted up her phone and began to do something. "I do not see how this will play out later on Emerald.."
"You know what I have to say about all of what you just said to me, Rennie?" Emerald's reddish eyes finally after a few minutes glance away from her phone's screen and to Ren with a weird look on her face while Velvet was sedately sitting in the back seat with her hands in her lap as she listened to Ruby chat with the maid. "None of us are characteristically normal! I've done forgotten what it meant to be normal!" Emerald broadly grinned as she continued to talk. "Screw you and your natural stuff Rennie! We go against the system! We are everything abnormal! Being normal is being abnormal, so what we do is we make our own messed up paths in life. Now stop being a dweeb and help me come up with ideas for Ruby, please."
Ren lets out a sigh since he couldn't deny to Emerald that their group as entirely abnormal and upside down most of the times. "Whatever Emerald."
"Don't you whatever me! I'll sick the pencil on you again!" Emerald points her phone at Ren with a scowl, yet before the two could go into another quarrel, Velvet interjects and disbands their attention from each other and to her.
"Guys, can we please pay attention to the matter at hand before? Ruby's enclosing on Weiss's room right now." Velvet murmurs.
"Yeah, Ren! Stop bullying me and let's get this show on the freaking road! Literally!" Emerald activated her earpiece while the other two watched Emerald.
Ruby's POV
Ruby and the maid ultimately managed to make it to the end of the hall where they then had came to a halt in front of a lofty door that had in white bold print, 'Weiss Schnee' in the middle of it with a transparent snowflake in the back of Weiss's name, causing the door to be more prominent than the other doors that they had passed during their odyssey through the upper floor of the manor. "Here we are Miss Rose, Lady Schnee's room." The maid turned to Ruby, who was gawking at Weiss's door before she slowly turned her head to the maid who did a small curtsy to Ruby. "Well, if you'll excuse me I have to get back downstairs since I was placed as the regulator of the maids in the main room today."
Ruby was about to attempt to ask the maid if she could help her out, yet as Ruby had gathered the audacity to speak accurately without her throat becoming raspy from the morning's fiasco of her yelping a lot when Emerald tackled her to the ground, the maid had already reeled around and began to circumspectly jog off back down the hall since she didn't want to get in trouble for leaving the others unattended. Ruby's hand at some point had raised a little, yet as soon as the maid had turned the corner, it plummeted back down to her side before she looked at the ground and sighed. "I need something to drink.. Emerald you ravaged my voice today.."
"Drink some water then Ruby, you might just be getting so nervous that your throat's becoming parch, which is cute." Ruby listened to Emerald snicker over the earpiece before she turned back to the door that was the only thing impeding her from seeing Weiss, although Ruby's shoulders slump as she took a few steps forward and tried to listen intently to see if Weiss was actually in there, yet no sound was heard from Weiss's door, causing Ruby to grunt. "Alrighty, rookie! Knock on her door and remember! Don't be petrified, and if she actually does try to murder you or something, then, uh, well, play dead? Follow the instructions you would follow if you got attacked by a bear, although I find bears ridiculous because they pass up free meals? Pff.. Say I was a rabbit and you just played dead in front of me, I'd still eat you, rabbit's gotta survive somehow, and it's the wilderness!"
Ruby quirked a brow at what Emerald had just said for a minute before she lifted up her arm and rested her knuckle against the door, deciding that it would have been best just to disregard what Emerald had just said. "Okay.." Ruby gently taps her knuckles on Weiss's door a few times before she lowered her arm back down to her side and waited resignedly. "..Maroon, stone, or wait, maybe pebbles..Grass?" Ruby's brain began to drift as she thought of random things that she could have potentially liked to help soothe her mind.
" Wie is het die is kloppen op mijn deur toen ik strikt zei dat ik was niet lastig gevallen te worden? Who is it who is knocking at my door when I strictly said I was not to be bothered?" Ruby heard Weiss's tranquil voice call out from the inside of the room, still and all, though, Ruby didn't understand what Weiss had just said, thus inducing Ruby to tilt her head a little in disorientation. What was she supposed to say? Was she just supposed to say 'hi' and hope for the best?
"Uhh.. Guys..? What um, what did Weiss just say again? Was that a bitter yell or what?" Ruby began to mumble under her breath in question with the hopes that Emerald or one of the other two would have promptly acknowledged her confusion and accommodated her, yet as always, nothing ever thoroughly goes to the original plan, and Ruby's eyes broaden as she notices the door being pulled inward until it was entirely out of the way and displayed the white-haired woman whose limpid blue eyes were staring back at her gray ones showing mild agitation for a minute before they immediately changed to shock to see Ruby at her door. Ruby blinked a numerous amount of times with a blank expression as she stared at Weiss's attire which was an orange shirt that had an enormous dog head in the middle such as the cartoon dogs were styled and the shirt itself stretched down Weiss's slim and short figure until it stopped a little below her hips and allowed her black pants to be shown.
Both of the females were entirely shocked by the other one's presence. Ruby was shocked by what Weiss was wearing while Weiss had been shocked to see Ruby at her bedroom door. "..." Ruby certainly didn't ever expect to see Weiss in something so insouciant, and, pretty cool? Ruby's brain repeatedly tried to rephrase how Weiss looked as she was staring up at her, yet after a minute of her brain failing to correctly wording Weiss, Ruby decided to greet Weiss in what she believed the woman would find humorous enough not to kill her. "Surprise!" Ruby nervously chuckled as she had said the entire word with as much enthusiasm as possible while offering a small smile and wave, although Weiss's reaction was quite different from Ruby's since the shorter woman took a few steps back into her room before she reached back over to where the door was and grabbed it before she slowly began to push the door back inward with a passive expression. "He- Weiss! I was joking!"
Ruby briskly stepped forward and placed her foot in the doorway before Weiss could have completely shut the door in her face while her left hand was gripping at the door knob. "Ouch!" Ruby suddenly deplored her action of placing her foot in the doorway like in the movies since Weiss kept trying to shut the door on Ruby's foot. "W-Weiss please stop smashing my foot in the door... I was joking." Ruby grunted out loud before she finally put a little more strength in her pushing and eventually managed to push Weiss off the door for a minute, yet the minute was long enough for Ruby to slip in through the door and into the room with Weiss.
Ruby's earpiece finally activated, and Emerald's line transmits to her, however, Emerald's sudden, emphatic voice caused Ruby to jump a little since she had thought they had forsaken her. "I have no idea what the heck is going on over there, but we mustn't abort! Do something good! I again, have no clue what you're doing, but from the sound of it you're doing something detestable, so, you know Ruby, if you could possibly do something else before we all get caught here, that'd be great, thanks! Oh-Oh! I have an idea! Compliment her, like say, you look cute or something!" Ruby had been in the middle of about to speak when Emerald had essentially hollered the last part into her ear, thus causing a mess up.
"You look cut- wait?! What!?" Ruby after she had said that promptly raised her hands to her mouth since that was absolutely the last thing she wanted to say to Weiss in their current situation, and as a consequence of what she had just blurted out because of Emerald, Weiss was looking at Ruby with what seemed to be revulsion, yet even her scowl couldn't obscure the flushed color to her cheeks from the suddenness of Ruby's exclaim. "I-I mean.. I didn't.. Well you do..Um." Ruby stammered as she tried to think of an excuse for what she had basically just said to Weiss, yet diddly-squat could salvage Ruby from the predicament she was in now, all that was left for Ruby to do was to continue a conversation like she knew what she was doing, when she clearly did not. "Your shirt is really neat, I didn't take you as the dog type of person, which I mean that's cool since I have a dog of my own, but he's at my father's home for a few reasons." Ruby's earpiece activated again and this time she immediately heard the sound of Emerald guffawing.
"Hahahaha! I can't believe you just did that before I had the chance to tell you that after you say that you're supposed to say no homo or to make sure Weiss gets your point, 'geen homo.' Oh, my god, I can't do this.. You just.. Haha.." Ruby sighs as Emerald laughed at her immense blunder before her shoulders slump in dejection of everything, yet it doesn't take long for her to notice the expression of Weiss's face changing to one that looked as if she was trying to endeavor something until suddenly Weiss spoke.
"You dummkopf!" Ruby quirked a brow at what Weiss had yelled at her before she looked around Weiss's room with a confused expression, yet after a minute had passed she pointed to herself. "Yes you! Who else is in my room?! What are you doing here?! What part of our deal did not manage to make it through your dense brain?" Weiss hissed under her breath, the entire action causing her accent to make her words come out slipshod, and that was not all Weiss had done, Weiss had also crossed her left arm across her shirt as if she was trying to conceal it from Ruby.
"Woah!" Ruby lifts both of her hands up defensively as Weiss glared at her bitterly, the once quietness of the room completely getting replaced with the two's bickering. "I'm really sorry Weiss! I just forgot this morning because I was in a rush to get out the door, and secondly why are you covering yourself like that?! Someone's going to get the wrong idea if you keep doing that with me in here, so please calm down.." Ruby haltingly began to back up a little so Weiss could have her space, and as soon as Ruby was a good bit back she heard Weiss huff indignantly.
"Ruby what's going on over there?" Ren interrogates Ruby on account of the fact that all Emerald's team's lines heard a minute ago was Weiss chiding Ruby before they both had gone silent, causing the entire team to become confused as to what was happening on Ruby's end. "Are you okay Ruby?" Ren attempts again at trying to get answers from Ruby who hadn't been replying to him since Weiss's eyes were still glaring at her heatedly, thus making Ruby as ridged as a pole as she kept her hands up a little in front of her as a sign that she wasn't going to do anything.
"Je zal voor altijd uitwissen wat je ziet uit je hoofd en dit nooit te vermelden iemand anders zal ik persoonlijk omgaan met je. You will forever erase what you see out of your head and never mention it anyone else or I will personally deal with you." Weiss seethes out in a perilously low tone of voice before she gradually removed her arm from covering her shirt and reeled around before she began to walk over towards an open door on the right side of her room, leaving Ruby confused. "I will be changing clothes, you," Weiss stopped walking only for a split second to most likely try and to remember a certain word, yet as soon as she remembers what she needed to say she continued walking. "You will not touch anything whi.. while I'm doing so." After Weiss had said that she spared a glance over her shoulder only to notice Ruby was standing still in the spot she had been in for the past 3 minutes looking as if she was a lost dog on the side of the street. "Sit you sukkel. dolt." Weiss grumbled as she pointed over to a chair by her desk that had been pulled out, however, all Ruby actually does was glance over to the chair before she turned back to Weiss.
"Huh? Sorry, I just, I don't understand why you would even want to change outfits? What you're wearing now looks pretty okay to me?" Ruby abstractedly began to question why Weiss would have found it imperative to change her clothing when she already looked sophisticated, even in the casual clothing! It customarily would have taken her so much effort to properly execute making something look like how Weiss was making the dog shirt look. "Why don't you just wear that? It's not like we're going anywhere extravagant because I'm kind of underprivileged at the moment, and I'm about 80 percent positive no one will castigate you.."
Weiss sneers in moderation before she rolled her eyes at Ruby's cavil since she simply just knew Ruby wouldn't be able to precisely discern the fact that Weiss was remarkably a venerated person to people all over, thus there no exceptions to striding outside in such clothing, it would have been an opprobrium. "Of course it is to you." Weiss barbarously said as she entered her closet and flickered on the light switch that was right next to the door. "I am an elite compared to you, and while you simply walk around in comfort, I am a role model, making others strive for perfection."
Ruby's gray eyes dimmed at the callous comment that had just derided her style of living, Ruby's mood diminishing every time she thought about what Weiss had said about her, yet not once did she altercate with Weiss, and it wasn't as simple as because Weiss was her boss or anything, it was just the fact that Ruby didn't have anything entirely mean to say to Weiss. Ruby would have conceded the fact that Weiss was cantankerous, yet some part of Ruby knew there was more to the story, she just had to find it; thus she settled for tolerating Weiss.
Emerald's line had activated before Ruby heard Emerald murmuring as well as snorting and chuckling under her breath. "Oh man, I had completely consigned to oblivion that Weiss can be a virago, and now that I remember how it was like to see, or well, hear Weiss, I feel fiendish and sorry. Wow, two emotions at once and they're both so conflicting." Ruby stayed stood up where she had been for a few minutes now while just glancing all around Weiss's room, trying to pinpoint anything that could have been potentially fascinating so that way she didn't look like a fool just standing there waiting for Weiss.
Ruby took a deep breath as she closed her eyes for a minute, the sound of clothes shuffling resonating in the room and filling her ears, yet as soon as the minute passes and Ruby slowly reopen her eyes, they gleamed with a newly lit determination for her situation. "I'm fine...But if she wants to have mottos such as that, then I guess I'll just come up with my own, and it'll be a Rose never gives up." Ruby refused to allow Weiss scare her off, she would see to it that Weiss became her friend, and she wouldn't give up because of the small bumps she may have encountered. "Never…"
Ruby's earpiece abruptly started to function again as it swapped on over to Velvet's line, the other brunette's words consoling her even more until the point Ruby's smile returned. "That's the spirit Ruby, this doesn't require you to fret over it too much since trust me when I say I'll get better down the road to deal with Weiss's assertive and brusque attitude since we've all essentially to say have been in your shoes at one point in our lives. Now it's time to give you accurate accommodation unlike Emerald has been doing. Have a canny conversation of the weather, it's quite a lovely day so I'm sure Weiss will respond to that, although if you want to impress her, recite after me. 'het is vrij zonnig uit vandaag.' It is sunny out today."
"H..he..het is.. va.." Ruby began to recapitulate what Velvet had just told her, yet every time she attempted to say the words, her tongue contorted the wrong way and made the word come out entirely word. "Het..is.. Vrij.." Ruby's voice gradually rose up as she got a little dauntless with her words; however, Ruby had to slowly say the words, so they came out right. "Z-Zonnig uit.. Um.. Vandaag?" As soon as Ruby had triumphantly said what she anticipated was what Velvet has said became a little proud of herself.
Weiss had been in the middle of sliding on one her most cherished dresses which was a plain light blue color that went to below her knees before it stopped, and in the back of the dress it had a smaller fabric that was formed into a bow when she had heard Ruby stuttering out a sentence in Dutch, although what Ruby had just said sounded as if it was more of a question than a statement; thus this caused Weiss to become a mildly baffled.
"Hmm.." Weiss hummed as little in acknowledgment of what Ruby had just said as she was leaning down to pick up some shoes that would have worked with the dress. "It sounds as if you're asking me if it is, and if you are, I suppose it is a captivating day.." Weiss ruminates more on the topic before a scowl appears on her expression. "Het is veel beter dan het weer van gisteren zal ik toegeven. Gisteren was gewoon zeer vermoeiend. It is much better than the weather yesterday, I will admit. Yesterday was just very tiring." Weiss's belligerent attitude had seemed to slacken from the conversation Ruby had just started with her, and it caused the brunette to smile even more before she made a weird happy humming noise.
"Um, yeah, I wholly, uh, agree with you!" Ruby had absolutely no clue what Weiss had just said again, and all Ruby was doing now was merely crossing her fingers and hoping that what Weiss had just said was something where it would have been pertinent for her to agree with Weiss. "But um, hey Weiss? Are you relatively almost done in there? N-Not that I'm trying to rush you or anything, though, you can take your time, I just, um.." Ruby's sentence gradually trailed off as soon as she saw Weiss walking out the closet in her outfit. "Oh," Ruby mumbled as Weiss began to mince over towards her.
"Yes I'm done you sukkel, I wasn't even in there for that long, now come on, I have to head over to the over side of Vale consecutively after we finish up whatever it is you're 'attempting' here. My Father's importing docks have been demolished and that is quite time consuming to fix, so I would like to get this over quickly." Weiss let out an enervated sigh as Ruby began to follow Weiss back over the door that lead out of her room while tilting her head in confusion of why an importing dock would be demolished.
"Why would someone demolish an import ship? And by 'demolished,' what do you mean? Bombs? Or.." After Ruby had said 'or' as if she had more to list, her brain blanked out and became dull since the word 'demolish' made her think of bombs and only bombs, however, before Ruby could question the white-haired woman any further in the matter, Ren's line activated on her earpiece, thus causing her questions to come to a halt.
"Ruby, a diplomatic thing you could do is open the door such as a gentleman would do since Weiss essentially is the person who still receives hand kisses from gentlemen who have the same traditions as Weiss, so, I'd say that'll give you about 3 points in impressing Weiss since I highly doubt she even will assume that you will do something such as that." Ruby felt a little insulted at everyone assuming that she had no manners. "No offense though Ruby." Ruby sighed after Ren had said no offense since it was already too late, but she might as well did it anyway.
Ruby took one enormous and uncouth step forward before Weiss could have reached the door and opened it up for Weiss with a deferential smile to make the act even more nicer, although Ruby suddenly freezes when Weiss stopped in the door frame and was peering at her with a quirked brow as she stared in the direction of where the earpiece was before she scrunched her eyebrows down skeptically, although as the seconds ticked on Ruby's heart pounded harder against her chest until she even heard it beating rapidly in her ears from Weiss's scrutinizing stare. "Hmph. Dankjewel." Weiss turned towards the left and began to walk off down the hall that lead towards the stairs again, leaving Ruby to let out a relieved sigh as she shut Weiss's bedroom door and sprinted off down the hall to catch back up with Weiss.
"Hm, interesting, that's 6 points since she actually said thank you to you, and rarely does Weiss say that since it's something that she's not accustomed to saying a lot of people. Lucky you I suppose." Ren laughs a little under his breath before his line cut off and Emerald's line activated as she was walking down the hallway with Weiss at her side staring at her intently as if she was silently inspecting every move she made while also jotting down more assumptions, thus causing Ruby to try her best to act as calmly as possible, yet those blue eyes had the power to render her helpless as she felt as if Weiss was glaring at her soul, slowly sundering it as if they were daggers of ice.
"So damn, you two are leaving the manor now? Meaning you're going to be on the road again pretty soon right?" Emerald inquires placidly over the earpiece, however, Ruby only gulps since she couldn't have answered Emerald at that moment, not when Weiss was literally staring at her looking as if she was expectant of something, but what that was, Ruby did not know, and there was only one way to find out what Weiss wanted.
Ruby deliberately coughed a little before she turned her head over and down somewhat to Weiss with a raised brow. "Uh, so Weiss, is there something wrong? Or are you um, okay? Because I don't know if you've noticed this, but, you've kind of just been staring at me for a good bit now as if I've got a giant bug on her face or something, and it's kind of really making me feel uncomfortable.." Weiss's eyes narrow even more than they had been before she bluntly divulged Ruby as if it was the most conspicuous mistake she could have made as they had finally made it to the stairs and began to descend down them.
"Are you not even going to tell me where it is you are taking me?" Weiss scoffed at Ruby's obliviation for the entire correct process of taking a person out, yet as soon as Weiss had asked where she was going to be taking her Ruby's face enlivened in comprehension, the brunette cursorily nodded her head to Weiss as her answer while she got a meek grin since she had been thinking about where she was going to take Weiss for a bit now, although Weiss's expression looked as if she was expecting and exact answer while the place wasn't entirely a scheduled thing, but it was roamable. "Well? You know what did you even plan that far Ruby?"
The maid that had earlier walked Ruby up to Weiss's room immediately notices the pair as they made it down the bottom of the stairs chatting and she quickly turned to the two maids who were watering the inside plants that were closer to the door before she snapped her fingers a few times, promptly getting the two's attention before she pointed towards Weiss and Ruby who were heading to the front door. The two maids after they had understood what the first maid had just ordered them to do walked over to the front doors and opened them for Weiss and Ruby, allowing the pair to freely walk out the door and head towards the car in front of the manor.
"What if I conceivably didn't find 'a' specific place, but um, a place where you just roam around?" Ruby warily inquires as they made it to the passenger side of Ruby's convertible that was stationed in front of the manor, and Ruby still trying her best to be diplomatic, leaned forward discreetly with her keys in her hand before she placed them in the lock of her car, immediately botching around with the lock until the door unlocked and allowed Ruby to open the car door for Weiss, although Weiss's expression looked as if she was still expecting an exact answer. "Well to be exact, would it be okay if I told you we're heading over to Vale's south pier to check out the uh, what are those things you put up for the fourth of July always? Also, isn't your party on the fourth of July?"
Weiss during Ruby's promulgation had deftly slid into the car in one motion since unlike Ruby who was taller than her she didn't have to lean forward to get in the car, however, from everything Ruby had just blathered to Weiss caused to her to have to take a deep breath to process everything. "Well-" Ruby raises both of her hands for a minute to gesticulate the need for Weiss to suspend everything she had to say for a minute, and subsequently Ruby shut Weiss's door and sprinted around the hood of her car and to the driver's side of the car where she did the same thing as she had done to Weiss's door, which only took a second before Ruby pulled the car door outward and leaned forward so she could slide in the car with Weiss. "Hmm...As I was saying, I do believe those are called Festival booths, which going to see them is better than nothing I suppose, although I'm mildly aghast that you're just now understanding that the party is on the same date as the fourth of July."
Ruby sheepishly laughs since the entire first week of practice she may or may not have been a bit too fixated on a mixture of stuff, yet not once did she put one and one together on the dates and grasp the actual concept of the two to remember that the fourth of July was approaching quickly. "Again, I wasn't entirely keeping up with stuff since I have an awful memory for certain things..I've had some embarrassing moments too just because of that fact." Ruby leaned forward and placed the key into the engine before she turned it to the right, causing the engine of the car to sputter to life, and the exhaustion pipes in the back of her car to puff out a bit of smoke before it settled down and made muted rumble noise.
Ruby moved the car's shifter into drive before she lightly pressed her foot down on the acceleration pedal, allowing the car to leisurely roll forward as Ruby turned the steering wheel over to the right so she didn't hit anything as she was driving out through the circle driveway and towards the gates which were slowly opening up since one of the maids had messed with the panel inside so that it would have opened for the pair.
As Ruby's car was trundling forward through the steel gates she heard Emerald's line activating, hence granting the green haired the capability to speak to Ruby as she was stepping on the gas a little more so that the car was thrusted forward until she back on the small road that lead back into the inner part of Vale. "Oh, Ruby, you know what would be another good conversation? Asking Weiss what her most revered coffee flavor is, although if Weiss tries to say her favorite coffee flavor is something insipid, then you incite the matter further since that's not entirely true, Weiss's favorite coffee flavor is-" Emerald was on the verge of almost telling Ruby Weiss's favorite coffee when Ren had slapped his hand over Emerald's mouth, so she didn't spoil it. "Mmm!"
Emerald's line had gotten hindered as Ren's line took over control since Emerald was babbling on about stuff that was supposed to be for Ruby to find out on her own. "Emerald astonishingly has a minor good point Ruby, both of you connote the same coffee loving vibes, and I'm saying that for the fact that you bring coffee up to practice every morning, so what I would advise to you is to have a reciprocal conversation with Weiss." As soon as Ren had concluded his speculation on the matter that was at hand, his line deactivated, leaving Ruby to figure out the rest.
Ruby's index finger prudently tapped at the steering wheel as she kept occasionally peering over at Weiss who was looking out the window while her hands were on her lap fidgeting with the fabric of the dressed, a solemn expression enshrouding her facial features as if the world around her had became repetitive. A guise that indescribably reminded her of a person who could have only saw the world as white and black, an odd expression that for some reason, left Ruby wanting to play a certain game, even if she was pretty conclusive when she knew that Weiss wasn't color blind since during the week Weiss was working just fine with pointing out things that were in color. "Hey, Weiss? Want to play a small game with me while we're on the road?" Ruby softly inquires to the white haired woman, which had managed to get Weiss's attention quicker than Ruby anticipated.
Weiss looked at Ruby in bewilderment of the sudden unpremeditated question Ruby had just asked while she also was scowling at Ruby since what she had just said was the most unsophisticated thing that a full grown woman could have said, yet not once did Weiss exclusively oppose to the suggestion Ruby had just said. "Uuh, I'm just going to take your silence as a yes, so we're going to play a game that I used to play with my sister when we were younger, although it's somewhat like a parody of I spy with my little eye okay?" Weiss's eyebrows scrunch down even more in confusion of what Ruby was talking about.
"I..Spy..?" Weiss bashfully murmurs while Ruby zealously nodded her head to answer what she presumed was a question, whereas Ruby nonchalantly turned her head over to her window that was next to her as her car passed up Emerald's that was parked in the grass facing the direction that led back into Vale, however, as soon as Ruby's car had entirely passed Emerald's car, Ren put the car into drive and revved it a few times, allowing it to leisurely roll forward on the grass until the car bounced a little from them transposing onto sturdy road again. Ruby watched as Ren began to pursue after her car down the road slowly from the interior rearview mirror until she heard Weiss speaking to her. "I don't think I've ever heard of this game you call, 'I spy?'"
Ruby gripped the steering wheel as she nearly brought her car to an entire stop in an entire swift motion since she was shocked by Weiss's response. "Whaaat?! How could you..you..Oh…" Ruby's sentence had gradually trailed off a she had reeled her head over to Weiss in disbelief only to see the white-haired woman staring at her with a deadpan expression since she had only been in Vale for a few months now, while the other parts of her life were spent in the Netherlands. "Right, uh, well, I mean, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to play it since it's a really simple game. All you do is pinpoint something you see then say something like, I spy with my little eyes, something big and yellow!" Ruby grinned mirthfully as she was somewhat glancing to the sun since she wanted to give Weiss something cinch as an example.
Weiss kept the deadpan expression on her face as she looked all around Ruby's car in monotonous, yet after a few minutes of trying to locate something yellow and big in Ruby's car, Weiss grumbled in agitation before she glanced back up to Ruby's face with a vexed expression. "This game you speak of is absolutely stupid, and I refuse to play it for that reason, I mean, there's nothing even remotely yellow in this car you sukkel. Do not mention these stupid games of your to me again." Ruby somberly sighed at Weiss's curt response before she decided to assist Weiss.
"Just think outside the box Weiss, like uh, literally, because I didn't exactly say that it was in my car now did I? Well, half of it actually is right now, but not the whole thing; otherwise that would be a pretty horrific situation." Ruby softly laughed as she leaned a little over to the left where a lever was and pulled on it, allowing her seat to slide forward more until it was close enough for Ruby to be able to somewhat lift her right knee off the brakes since there weren't any other cars in front of her and use her knee to hold the wheel steady as she opened her palmed and tried to show the outside world to Weiss, however, Weiss's eyes immediately widened when Ruby had taken both of her hands off the wheel of the car before she had leaned forward and thwacked Ruby's right hand once before she grabbed Ruby's right hand and lowered it back down to the wheel with a sneer while also simultaneously giving Ruby a dirty look. "What did I do…?" Ruby pouted a little under her breath since she hadn't been expecting Weiss to hit her for trying to play a game with her.
"Do you not apprehend the fact that you could have just killed us? Or how imprudent and utterly stupid it was to take your hands off the wheel? I absolutely refuse to die in this car with you because you want me to 'think outside the box.'" Weiss indignant scorns Ruby before she lifted the back of her hand up to her face where she used the back of her index finger to move the strands of hair that had managed to slide off her shoulder and into her face from the earlier hassle that Ruby had given her when she removed her hands from the wheel, however, once Weiss removes her hair from her face she notices Ruby's dejected expression. "... Aah.." Weiss breathed out heavily in exhaustion. "However I suppose I'll try again to spot whatever it is you are talking of.."
Weiss's cerulean colored eyes keenly looked around as Ruby's car drove down the road until she finally looked towards the sun with a little squint. "Is het de- I mean, is it the sun that you see?" Weiss suddenly got the feeling that Ruby was staring at her and she immediately look over to the brunette to see her looking at her with a delighted expression since she was happy that Weiss was actually playing along with her. Ruby nodded her head a few times while Weiss rolled her eyes at Ruby's childish joys before she went back to relaxing in the seat that she was in. "I played your game, now what?"
"Well, to be honest with you, that was just an example of how to play the game, but the next step of the game would be for you to have a turn.. So.. Do you.. um.. Possibly want to continue it and play your turn?" Weiss snorts at Ruby's deficiency of morale towards certain topics such as asking if things were okay or not, yet none of Weiss's assumptions of Ruby could have abrogated the main one that she had proclaimed for the brunette at first sight. Ruby was completely an eccentric human being, yet that being said, Weiss wasn't entirely opposed to learning more of the woman, yet at the same time Weiss was opposed to it, thus leading to the conflictions.
"I spy withe my little eye something small and red." Weiss condescendingly says her words, yet Ruby chuckles a little at Weiss's little slip up, but doesn't say anything since Weiss seemed pretty appeased with what she had just said and Ruby would have felt bad if she had degraded Weiss's happiness.
"Not playing as easy as I was huh?" Ruby jocularly says as she was glancing all around the inside of her car for something small and red with a smile since she always could appreciate a good challenge every once in a while, however, after a minute of looking around the inside of the car only to find that there was nothing in there she started to look all outside. "Wow, um, this is actually really tough Weiss.." Ruby's excitement gradually died out as she didn't see anything red or small outside the car. "Weiss? You do know you can only say that for if it's something you can see with your eyes, and um, to be frank with you right now, I don't see anything red or small.. Did we pass it up or something? Because if, so that's essentially cheating in our case." Ruby reeled her head back over to Weiss who was looking forward with a smirk on her face as a red jay flew out in front of the since it had been hovering somewhat behind Ruby's car until that moment, at blue jay trailing behind it as well. Ruby watched as an unpretentious smile formed on Weiss's lips as she watched the bird flying away from Ruby's car and back further into the woods since they approaching Vale quickly.
"Is..Is it the red jay?" Ruby haltingly murmured to Weiss who in return nodded her head, still not realizing that Ruby was gawking at the small smile Weiss had on her face since she couldn't help herself, Weiss had never smiled at practice, not even when they were alone, like right now. Ruby pondered of how it would have looked to see Weiss's entire smile since Weiss always seemed to put up a gloomy aura that gave bad vibes, yet now?
"Awwww! Ren do you hear this?! They're playing 'I spy' together, and they sound like they're having just a granddddd old time over there, I mean, great job Ruby! Games! Why didn't I think of something like that?" Emerald snickered and cooed in Ruby's ear, causing the brunette to sigh since Emerald had just ruined her train of thought, everything that had been coursing through her thoughts immediately getting dropped back wherever they had come from. "We should just count this as Ruby's first little playdate guys! Does anyone get it?" Silent had run through the entire RVR for an entire 2 minutes before she heard Emerald grumble something that caused her to laugh a little. "You're all jerks you know?"
Vale's south pier
Ruby's car softly rumbled as she painstakingly drove it forward into the open parking space in front of Vale's south pier while other cars were lined down next to her as well as behind her. The parking space Ruby had taken had given the duo the ability to see straight down the pier at all the booths that were starting to get set up as well as the small bar at the very far end of the pier which only sold drinks. "Here we are I guess." Ruby murmured to Weiss in astonishment as she kept glancing back and forth. "Pretty neat looking."
Ruby's eyes manage to catch a glimpse of Emerald's car pulling into a parking space that was roughly 5 parking spaces away from where Ruby had parked her car, although after Ren had triumphantly managed to get the car into the parking space, Ruby could no longer see them since there was another car to the right of them, thus concealing Emerald's car from Weiss's point of sight. Weiss, however, was merely abstractedly gawking at the booths the were aligned down the pier in mild delight, her attention no longer focused on the brunette who was reaching forward and turning off the engine to the car. "How's it going over there rookie?"
Ruby raised her hand to her mouth and coughed loudly while also whispering into the ear piece. "Good, good, you?" Weiss had been too busy glancing around at all the people walking back and forth down the pier with drinks in their hands, although Weiss didn't know that the Vale's city always tended to go all out on the fourth of July on the pier by having a festival and lit up fireworks.
"We're good over here Ruby, although we're going to be slacking behind you two with our costumes okay? " Emerald was grunted as she was grabbing the shades she had earlier and slid them onto her face before she began to pigtail her hair so that Weiss didn't know it was her while the other two in the car were getting ready too since Emerald had driven a hard bargain for them if they did that part with her. Ren had gotten a sharpie and started to draw a small mustache under his nose before Velvet leaned forward and handed him a fedora and as well as a large newspaper.
Velvet was pulling out some gum before she place it in her mouth and ponied her hair so she hopefully resembled a teenager while Ren and Emerald tried their best to resemble the adults, yet Emerald's pigtails kind of ruined what they were aiming for, but the green-haired woman refused to style her hair any other way. "Okay, you're my husband as well as dog man, but whatever happens here, you keep your ugly sass face away from me and we never mention this again, especially to my girlfriend, she'll laugh at me then make me sleep on the couch again, and if that happens someone's going to be feeling my tiny harp up their-" Ren cuts Emerald off before she had the chance to even finish her sentence.
"I wasn't even planning on it, whether or not if you're gay, I wouldn't think of ever kissing you." Emerald gasped as she placed her hand to her chest as if she was offended by what Ren had just said since she didn't expect him to say all that.
"That's it; you're sleeping outside wherever you live, and I demand child support, come on Velvet." Emerald pushed out her side of the car while Velvet listened and crawled across the seat until she was on the same side as Emerald and pushed out the car as well, leaving Ren alone in the car to sigh before he activated his line towards Ruby's and murmured.
"If you ever find a nice young man or whatever, try and be sweet and never try to be like Emerald."
Ruby and Weiss had already gotten out of Ruby's car and was towards the deck side by side while Weiss was looking back and forth quickly, yet every time she noticed Ruby laughing a little at what she was doing or even looking at her with a grin, she would she try to walk faster than Ruby, which only made Ruby laugh a little more since she was just glad Weiss wasn't yelling at her at the moment, Weiss was simply excited by all the booth yet instead of openly expressing herself, she would gawk at them.
Ruby looked over to where Weiss was looking and noticed that the woman was looking at one of the water gun games for longer than normal and Ruby rubbed at the side of her chin as she came to a halt, making Weiss stop as well in confusion of why she had stopped when they still had quite the bit of booths to go down. "You know Weiss? I think that booth over there looks pretty interesting huh? And it's open, what do you think?" Ruby lifted up her hand and pointed over to the booth that Weiss had been staring at longer than she had the other booths, although she felt a bit awkward when Weiss turned back to her.
"Hmm. That looks interesting." Weiss merely mumbles under her breath, but Ruby noticed Emerald and the other hiding by one of the photo booth moving their hands towards the booth since they had been listening to their small talk and they were encouraging her to nudge Weiss towards the booth, yet Ruby made a weird face when she noticed how they all looked and that Ren was holding a newspaper in front of his face. "What the.." Weiss suddenly turns to Ruby and notices the brunette looking somewhere behind them, and after a second she glances over to where Ruby was looking and saw Emerald's group who immediately began to panic. Emerald clung to Ren's arm while he read the newspaper and Velvet started to attempt to blow bubbles with her gum, and even Ruby panicked before she had quickly placed her hands on Weiss's shoulders and spun her towards the booth they had been looking at and began to push her towards it.
"Ack! What on earth do you think you're doing to me Ruby?! You're going to push me down!" Weiss griped as every time she tried to turn back to Emerald's group Ruby would have given Weiss a little push, yet just as they nearly made it to the booth Weiss snarled in anger of the brunette touching and pushing her and was quick to reel around with a scowl. "Move! I saw something!" Weiss commanded Ruby, but just before Weiss could push Ruby out of the way, the brunette squeaked and stepped forward, quickly embracing the woman so that Weiss's face as smothered into her chest, the other couples on the pier glancing over to Weiss and Ruby since when Ruby had grabbed Weiss she yelled something with a dark blush on her face since she didn't want to get caught with them now.
"Get out of here you weird family that isn't suspicious! Weiss isn't accepting autographs!" Ruby squealed as her voice cracked and rose to a high pitch tone, causing Emerald's group to scatter off further down the pier until they made a turn to hide in the shadows of a distant booth, yet Ruby and Weiss stayed as they were until Ruby slowly opened her eyes and glanced over to where she had last saw Emerald's group only to see that they gone, and that caused her to let out a long, tedious sigh. "Aha…" Ruby looked down at Weiss's head which was still in her chest and the realization of what she had just done in panic finally arises and the blush on her face become even more vivid as she quickly took a step back with her hands up and she began to stutter. "Oh gosh, Weiss, I am so sorry, I just, there was some weird family taking pictures of you, please don't yell!" Ruby slapped her hands together and lowered her head while her hands rose up above her head, and her eyes shut tightly.
Weiss was absolutely dumbfounded by what Ruby had just done, yet as soon as Ruby had pulled back Weiss took a deep breath since she couldn't breath in Ruby's chest. Weiss immediately looked around and saw people chuckling at the pair murmuring about how they needed to get a room, and she began to grow both flushed and flustered, her awful tendency instantly acting up. "Wat heb je gedaan je idioot! Dergelijke indecency! Heeft u ook een beha op ?! What have you done you, idiot! Such indecency! Do you have a bra on?!"Weiss stutter the last question she had asked Ruby, who was slowly lifting up her head and looking at Weiss confused before she completely straightened her back and snapped her fingers.
"Your bad habit is kind of going on right now Weiss, could you repeat yourself please?" Weiss flumed more at Ruby before she turned around and stormed off further towards the booth that Ruby had been pushing her to a minute ago since she couldn't stand Ruby's lack in language, but Ruby quickly raised her hand and chased after Weiss apologizing for what she did while in the distance Emerald was covering her mouth with tears in her eyes at what just had happened to Weiss and she had even heard what Weiss essentially yelled and it was starting to hurt her sides. Ren still was reading the newspaper since it was only at the beginning that he was faking it and now he was genuinely interested, but Velvet had lifted one hand to her mouth and was repeating 'oh dear' over and over as Ruby chased after Weiss.
"Hahah! Weiss just got a face full of boob, and literally almost! I'm dying! Ahahah! She manages to get a decent looking girl's chest in her face without even trying or knowing what was going on while it took me literally 1 year to win the heart of my girlfriend! Screw you Weiss, you cheap bastard!" Emerald slapped her knee as she started to fall down the wall of the booth towards the floor and Velvet also couldn't help but laugh since she hadn't seen Weiss get that fluster in a long time. "Velvet, drag me onward, we must continue after them for Ruby!" Velvet leaned down and slipped under Emerald's arm and began to lift the green haired woman up to her feet where Emerald then pointed forward, and they began to walk. "Come my man dog! We have friends to help!" Ren began to follow at the two while he flipped the newspaper upside down so he could read more.
Back to Ruby
Ruby stopped behind Weiss who was muttering and mumbling Dutch words as she began to dig through her purse for money, yet before Weiss could get her wallet out Ruby nervously dug in her pocket where she kept loose cash and pulled out a dollar bill and placed it on the counter where the man took it and placed it in the small basket that contained money. "Weiss, are you mad still? I'm sorry, it was an accident, I just, the pictures." Weiss ignored Ruby and picked up the water gun and tried to aim at one of the duck, yet her first few shots missed every duck completely. "Weiss that's not how you aim a gun," Ruby mumbled as she walked next to the white-haired woman who was still mumbling.
"Ik weet wat ik doe je dolt, en ik weiger te worden verslagen door spel van dit kind. I know what I'm doing you dolt, and I refuse to be defeated by this child's play." Weiss was stubbornly refusing to speak English to Ruby anymore as she ran out of water in the gun and lost the game, causing the woman to slam the gun down and bring her hands to her face so she could rub at it since she couldn't get rid of the frustrated feelings. "Dit spel wordt opgetuigd. This game is rigged." Ruby noticed Weiss was about to pull out more money, and she sigh more before she pulled out another dollar and placed it down on the counter, allowing the man to take it, but all Ruby was trying to do was make everything up to Weiss for publicly embarrassing her.
Weiss tried another time at trying to win the game, yet the same thing as last time happened. "Weiss, hold on, you're doing it all wrong, if you want to win, you've gotta hold the gun's muzzle down a bit and use the sights like this," Ruby placed another dollar down on the counter and the gun refilled and Ruby picked it up before she got in the position as if she was actually about to shoot a semi-automatic pistol since that's how the water gun seemed to be constructed as and aimed, shot, and hit one duck, then another, and another, leaving Weiss impressed by her gun skills. The man at the table gave Ruby a thumbs at the successful gun game and he unhooked one of the small stuffed fishes and tossed it to Ruby who's hand instantly darted out and snagged the small toy out the air.
"Thanks guy!" Ruby cooly says to the man who nodded his head and then Ruby turned back to Weiss with the small toy fish in her left open palm since they hadn't been able to give the large stuff animals since it was all mostly for the oncoming festival. "And that's how you shoot a gun, here," Ruby grinned sheepishly as she outstretched her hand to Weiss, who reluctantly took the stuffed animal from her.
Emerald and Velvet high fived at Ruby's awesome skills at gunning since it helped her impress Weiss even more to the point where she reluctantly returned to using English to speak to Ruby. "Some reason Velvet, my gay heart is hurt very much, I think we might have to call the doctor to remove it since it's really sad that Ruby's what I essentially believe to be straight thus it'll never happen.. I'm sad! My gaydar is broken because of this couple me and Cinder saw on a date once, gosh they were so cute, they broke it Velvet, it's brooke.." Velvet stood there patting Emerald's back as she wailed and sobbed into her shoulder about her gaydar.
"Wow." Ren finally said as she began to fold the newspaper and caused both of the females to turn to him in confusion since they had forgotten he was even there.
"Where the hell have you been Ren?" Emerald inquires with a sour tone as she clung to Velvet who was watching Ruby and Weiss laugh a little at something, but for some reason Ruby's earpiece was no longer working, thus Velvet couldn't hear anything. "Actually why did you just say wow? Did you drop your sparkles again? Because those are hell to pick up, and I don't feel like helping you right now because if you can't tell I'm having a female, gay, moment."
"Guy's they're heading this way.." Velvet haltingly says she managed to get Emerald off her and back enough so that she could slowly step back into the shadows of the booth they had been hiding behind while Ren and Emerald continued to argue back and forth, completely forgetting what Velvet had just said until they heard Ruby's laughter closing in, and when they glanced over to their left they saw Ruby and Weiss approaching them quickly.
"Oh shit! Do something you sassy man!" Emerald ran to Ren and grabbed his shirt collar and rested her back against the wall while he was close to her face while Ruby and Weiss passed by them, the pair not noticing them. "Oh man… Clos-" Ren and Emerald turned their heads towards the right when they heard a camera flash and snap a picture of them. "..."
"Well, that's definitely a keep." Velvet blankly says as she looked at the picture she had just taken, yet before she could say any more Emerald pushed Ren down onto his butt before she ran at Velvet who graciously sidestepped before she began to jog after Weiss and Ruby since she was still dedicated to trying to help the brunette, even while Emerald was calling out for her to stop and delete the picture.
"Velvet you sneaky little woman! Give me that phone so I can throw it off this pier and into the water where hopefully some kind of phone eating fish eats it!" Emerald yelled as the pair of females began to run in circles through people who were trying to head towards the small cafe. "Velllveetttt!"
Back to Ruby
Ruby and Weiss sat side by side of each other on a barstool, yet in Weiss's hand was the earpiece that the three had essentially forced her to wear and she was inspecting it since it was turned off now. "So all the stuff you said in Dutch was them? As well as the weird couple that's running around the pier yelling at each other?" Weiss deadpanned questioned Ruby as she handed back over the device and watched as the man at the bar made her's and Ruby's Martinez yet as soon as Ruby had taken back the device she nodded her head.
"I'm sorry Weiss; I just wanted to have a decent time with you today. You seem like a really cool person when you're hanging out with these guys, yet, then you turned to me and pushed me around and was being really mean.." The man who was making their drinks walked in front of them and handed them their drinks, yet instead of taking a sip like Weiss had done, she stirred her drink around with a somber expression. "It seems like you hate me to be exact." Weiss glanced over at Ruby as she drank her martini, listening to what the brunette had to say.
"I won't object to me not liking you, although there's a difference. I'm going to be honest with you right now since I really wouldn't like something like that earpiece to occur again." Weiss took a deep breath as she turned completely to Ruby. "You lack, you're music was absolutely breathtaking yes, but you lack in certain places, as well as some places in self-discipline. Life is not a playground, and for some reason, your free going attitude pisses me off but hate? No, just, there are some things I am not used to about you and they make me very agitated and or uncomfortable." Weiss was bluntly telling Ruby everything of why she acted the way she did before she took another sip of her martini. "Today I originally wanted to get rid of you, which it only takes a few attempt to make people run off to the hills crying like little infants, although you have done pretty well at staying this week."
Ruby gulped as she as well took a sip of her martini, trying to process everything Weiss had just told her. "Yeah..um..So where are we now?" Ruby anxiously decides to question their situation.
"Hmm. As of now? I'm not sure.. I would assume I find you somewhat intriguing since no matter how I look at it there is a part of me that was surprisingly enjoying today. You're weird, and different, although don't expect special treatment just because I said that, you still essentially piss me off with the free going attitude." Weiss glared at Ruby, but as soon as she notices Ruby chortling at what she said she smiled a little and took another sip of her martini. "We're neutral I suppose."
"Pff.. I piss you off for just being me, alright, I'll be sure to be your shadow from here on out." Weiss rolled her eyes at Ruby's jokingly, but after that she watched as Ruby spun her stool over towards the sea and lifted her arm until it was raised back. "Sorry, guys.." Ruby flung the earpiece out into the water before she turned back to Weiss and picked up the glass of martini and took a big gulp, yet after that she slammed the cup back down on the table and hopped off the stool, grabbing Weiss's hand in the process as she felt the alcohol making her feel a little bit more comfortable and open with Weiss, yet at the same time, Ruby felt as if it was something natural happening as she pulled Weiss off the barstool before she could take another sip of her martini and took off as fast as she could down the pier with Weiss behind her. "The day's still young, and we're going to do this right this time Weiss, without them! No earpiece, nothing!" Ruby chuckled as she noticed the group which noticing them running off and was beginning to pursue after them.
Emerald's POV
"Guy's they're running! Dammit, after them!" The entire EVR team chased after Weiss and Ruby who was dodging people while Ruby laughed mirthfully at their situation before she pulled out her car keys and pressed the unlock button, causing all her door in their car to unlock as she let go of Weiss's hand and shooed her to the other side of the car and they both quickly slipped into the chair, Ruby hastily locking the door again.
Emerald stopped at Ruby's window and began to tap on it in confusion of one why the earpiece wasn't working and two why she had just run from them, but all of a sudden Ruby's car's engine starts and she puts it in reverse, backing out of the parking space as Emerald tried to stop the car, but Ruby simply mouth over her apology before she stepped on the gas pedal and drove the car forward again, causing dust to kick up from under the tire into Emerald and Ren's faces, leaving them a coughing mess and Velvet to watch as the car speed away in a direction towards the left.
"They just abandoned us! And where is my earpiece! Ruby!" Emerald waved her fist in the air as she waved the dust out of her face, but she suddenly notices Velvet taking out her own piece and was quick to drop it to the ground before she stomped on it, Ren following after her by doing the same actions. "Ah! Guys!" Emerald gasped as she looked at the broken earpiece. "Mission failed!
"Emerald, I think this was as successful as it could get for you, they seemed as if they were finally getting somewhere, although you need to learn when to stop. This is the end of our mission; the rest is up to Ruby to do and Weiss to decide." Velvet said with a small smile before she reeled around and began to walk towards their car. "Drop me back off at my place."
"Velvet's right Emerald. I'd say we're done for the day, so come on, let's all start going back, my car's at your place so let's drop Velvet off and head back to your place. Cinder is there, right? I haven't seen her in a bit, would be nice to." Ren turned around and began to follow after Velvet while Emerald grudgingly followed after them nodded her head.
"She's making casseroles later, so if you want you could stay I guess for dinner since I know Cinder loves company.." Emerald pouted as she slumped her shoulders while looking at the ground.
Weiss could totally pull off being Dutch for so many reasons.. She's very assertive and can relate to quite a lot of things Dutch people do.. I love Queen Dutch Weiss soo much.. Also yes and no, Weiss now has a small interest in who Ruby is, although it's nothing! THE WHITEROSE THOUGH WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVED IT. We'll probably focus another chapter on our Pianist and Dutch Queen, but after that we'll hammer time and go to Bumblebee again, although I really, truly can admit that Emerald is the entire word of being a sadistic person. No jokes here okay? Emerald's so deceitful and cool; I love her in my story. Weiss's English struggles are so cute, she can't get mad without sulking in Dutch. I love this!
I just want to admit I have a massive issue with writing short chapters and paragraphs that are short? I swear I become so paranoid if one paragraph is too short. Is it just me who finds it absolutely satisfying to see my longer chapters and those usually 6 sentenced paragraphs.. Ooooh, the effort I put into these chapters all by myself, and we all know that this story, as well as my other, are solely done by me. I excessively write things that are like movies because of a quote I read a very long time ago that seriously affected me. It was something about books being image projectors to the brain or something weird like that. Lastly, I left a lot of rough drafts in here since 17,000 words was approaching 19,000 too fast, and that's the most I've ever written, 19,000 words.
Tell me if I need to rewrite the pier part, because I didn't revise that like normal. -Checked by LordOda because I'm having to cut back on solo editing.. and other things..- Sorry everyone.
Eis Haddock- Here you are you adorkable random human person! Your review made me happy, glad you're enjoying this gay ride as much as I am.
suomynonAX- I'm SO lazy lately with reviews, it's just I'm trying to settle my life out currently because everything is messy, and every time I open your message box to respond or say something, I get distracted by something and completely forget to respond. (I've sadly been doing that to everyone, and I'm sorry, everything's fine now so I'll start responding again!)
dracohalo117- Pff. I wonder what IS happening over there..-Wolf snickers under a blanket in the corner at this chapter's confliction.-
Okay, that's everyone, everyone who is new here hello and welcome to you know what, and what we Heart troopers always question ourselves is; what's next in this song of hearts? Have a great night or day guys!
