Ruby Makes A Movie

Ruby was bouncing around the room, filled to the brim with ideas. These ideas were spilling over onto her teammates, who were for the most part eager to receive them. Blake and Yang were the most part. Weiss was not. What ideas were these? Well...

"We could get everyone around the school to help us film the movie! I'm sure there's plenty of people who would love the chance to be actors!"

That's right. Ruby wanted to make a movie. She had the video camera. She had the will. She just needed people who were willing to help her make it happen. Well... there was one other thing she needed, but she was already hot on the trail of one.

"So, how about this idea? A story about three brave heroes on a ship, hunting down a dangerous man-eating shark!"

Yang shook her head. "I like it, but where do we get a shark?"

Blake added her own piece. "And it's been done."

Ruby jumped up and down, already having another idea. "We can do a zombie movie. We can call it... Jaune Of The Dead! Of course, Jaune will be our lead actor!"

Yang shook her head again. "Ruby, zombies have been done to death."

Blake smirked. "And back again."

Ruby jumped on top of her bed and stared down at the two of them. "Well, then how about this? An asteroid is headed for Vytal."

Blake held up a finger. "I saw that movie. It hits Vale."

Still going strong, Ruby tossed out another idea. "Then how about a volcano erupts in the middle of the city?"

Yang scratched the back of her head, starting to think it wasn't a good idea. "I don't know that we'd be able to get permission for that."

Ruby held up her hands, calling for silence. "Okay, okay... I got it. You ready for this?" Blake and Yang nodded, though they had their doubts. Ruby jumped off her bed and landed between them, then stood straight with one hand on her hip and the other pointed skyward. "Beacon Academy Musical!"

That was the last straw for Weiss. She stood up and grabbed Ruby by the collar, dragging her to the door and tossing her out. She slammed the door shut, then turned two Blake and Yang. "Anyone else want to make a musical?" They could tell that saying yes might very well be fatal, so they simply shook their heads silently. Weiss nodded in triumph. "I'm glad balance has been restored to the brain to Human ratio in this room."

Meanwhile, across the hall, team JNPR listened intently to Ruby's plans for their great silver screen debut. Everything was going to go perfectly, and no dusty heiress was going to get in Ruby's way.

And now...

RWBY Games

Let's see how the girls of RWBY play video games, and which video games they play.

Ruby

When playing, you are part of the game. You are the character you control. When they win, you win. When they lose, you lose. When they die, you die. Play as if your very life is at stake.

Ruby Rose runs through the remains of the alien ship, the reanimated bodies of her fallen comrades and foes alike chasing her after being mutated by the alien parasite. She reloads her assault rifle as she runs, quickly ducking into a corner. The Flood will be on her soon.

Hearing their approach, Ruby grabs a flame grenade off her belt and readies it. She dodges out of her hiding place and tosses the incendiary, setting fire to three of the howling horde. More Flood blindly run through the flames, quickly collapsing to the ground in smoldering heaps.

One of the creatures leaps over the fire, swinging their long tentacled limb at Ruby's head. Her shields take the attack, but are heavily damaged in the process. She jumps back and fires her rifle into the combat form, blasting it's head and arms off. Another enemy falls, but the screeches all around her tell Ruby that the game is far from won.

So she runs. She runs and shoots down anything that gets in her path. Her objective is just in the next room. She's almost there when a Flood combat form wielding a rocket launcher fires at her, blasting away her shields and sending her flying into the wall. Ruby has fallen in battle.

Ruby jumps up from the couch, dropping her controller. "No! I was so close!" She ignores the game's respawning, falling to her knees in anguish and defeat. "I almost had it this time! CURSE YOU ROCKET FLOOD!"

Weiss

When playing, you are being challenged at an intellectual level by a mere programmed collection of ones and zeros. When you lose, you've been made a fool of. When you win, you have beaten the odds. Play as if your honor is at stake.

Weiss Schnee stepped from the path and into the tall grass. She had always ignored the warnings to avoid doing so, and always would. She was here to get something, and she wouldn't leave without it. As expected, a bird flew out of the grass and made to attack. A wild Pidgey appeared.

Weiss was ready, of course. She pulled a small red and white ball out of her bag and threw it at the ground. "Go get him, Charmander!" Out of the ball came a little orange lizard with a flame at the tip of it's tail. Weiss was proud to be the master of such a creature.

The battle had begun. Pidgey tried to attack Weiss' little dragon, but missed. Now it was Weiss' turn to move. "Alright! Charmander, use burn!" The Charmander did as commanded, shooting fire at the bird. The effect was far greater than Weiss could have hoped, and the Pidgey fainted.

Weiss jumped up from her seat, pumping her fist in the air. "Victory!"

Ruby blinked at her, somewhat confused. "You only started playing that a few minutes ago."

Blake

When playing, you have a freedom that is entirely unavailable in the real world. When you die, you come back to life. When you kill, you are easily forgiven. Nothing can trap you or catch you. Play as if this freedom is deserved.

Blake Belladonna ran through the woods in the dark of the night, a flashlight in one hand and three crumpled up pieces of paper in the other. If she understood the situation correctly, there was another five pages to collect.

She stopped outside an old deserted-looking building to catch her breath. She stepped into the building and walked through the dark tiled hallway. A few corners later, she found another door that led back outside. She was about to open the door when she noticed another piece of paper on the wall beside her.

Blake grabbed the piece of paper and crumpled it up with the others. She wasn't absolutely sure they were important, but she felt compelled to get all of them. Taking a moment longer to prepare herself for another long run, she briefly glanced behind her.

That was a big mistake. He was right there, tall and thin, his face pale and featureless. Soon, his face was all she could see among the static.

Blake jumped out of the computer chair and across the room, hiding herself under her blanket and screaming. "THE HORROR! THE HORROR!"

Yang

When playing, you must keep entertainment as your one goal. Win or lose, live or die, you should never stop playing until it is no longer fun. Play as if it is a game, for that is what it is.

Yang Xiao Long rested back in her chair, letting the time pass. Let the others spend their time wrestling with their games. Yang could go to sleep, and she would still progress in her favorite game. Her toils were simple and fruitful.

Sensing that she had waited long enough, Yang nudged the mouse. The screen saver flicked off, revealing her game. She frowned at what she saw. Her apple trees were ready, but all her carrots had been left far too long. They had all rotted away.

She didn't like it, but she knew that she now had to dig up all the dead carrots and plant new ones. She sighed. "Guess I'm gonna be here a bit longer than I expected."

Before Yang could successfully begin planting her new batch of carrots, Weiss jumped out behind her and smacked her across the back of the head with a suitcase. Yang tumbled out of the chair and away from the computer, yelping in surprise.

Weiss stood over her, glaring down at her with disdain. "Stop playing Farmville, you absent schnook!"

Author's note: By the way, if anyone wants to see Jaune Of The Dead, I can do that too. Also, expect more RWBY Games in the future. There are plenty of games, and these girls will react to them.
