The fairgrounds were crowded and the games were a popular attraction. They were exciting and colorful and came with the tempting promise of overly large stuffed toys and cheap plastic imitations of famous hunting weapons. Yang looked in awe at the wide variety of people assembled on the boardwalk. Here were humans and Faunus, people from every kingdom Mistralians, Atlesians and Vacuens all happily enjoying the carnival together. The Atlesian Military presence was high but not in the carnival itself. The main concern for them was the chance of a Grimm breach in such a dense population and so their airships hung over the entire city, waiting for any sign of trouble. It was truly a testament to the efforts of the militaries and Hunters around the world that they were able to enjoy peaceful times like this, completely free of the conflict and bloody wars that had nearly torn their world to pieces not so long ago.
"Alright, whadda you wanna play?" Jaune threw his hands behind his head and addressed the group at large.
"These games don't look particularly challenging, less so than I had hoped even." Ren watched as a young boy tried to toss a ring over the neck of a bottle several feet away, "I believe we would find them un-entertainingly easy."
"Yeah I guess so." Jaune sighed and his shoulders drooped.
"We could always go for something competitive, that way it's us versus each other so it's fair." Yang smiled and Nora jumped at the proposition.
"Oh hehe" she nearly shuddered with excitement, "Oh yes, I will get my revenge." She thrust a single defiant fist into the air.
"Revenge for what Nora?" Yang cocked an eyebrow at her.
"Revenge for.. Revenge for umm.." she tapped her finger on her chin and then thrust her fist back into the air, "Revenge for you eating all the cotton candy."
"But that was you." Yang leveled a critical gaze at her, "You even ate Ren's." Ren silently nodded his head in affirmation.
"Well then I will stop you from having your revenge. C'mon what's it gonna be?" Nora's eyes darted around, looking for a suitable challenge.
"There is a shooting alley over there. We all use some sort of firearm so that should be fair." Pyrrha smiled around at the group and came to rest on a down trodden Jaune last, "Oh Jaune I'm sorry." Pyrrha's voice immediately fell back to concern and worry.
"Hey no problem, I've actually been practicing a lot lately. I think I might wanna add a gun to my equipment somehow anyways." Jaune said with an incredible sense of nonchalance and Pyrrha smiled.
"Oh that is just wonderful Jaune." Pyrrha put a hand on his shoulder, "A firearm adds incredible versatility to your armaments."
"Yeah Jaune why didn't you say so. Ruby would just die to help you design something." Yang offered and Pyrrha's smile widened.
"Yes, she is a wonderful weapon smith. She helped me just the other day improve the transition speed for Miló and it feels like new again." Jaune laughed lightly at Pyrrha's excitement and then sighed a little.
"I don't know though. That sword is like a family heirloom, I don't really wanna mess with it." he shook his head lightly.
"You know, that's real exciting and all but, are we gonna go shoot stuff or not?" Nora was already several steps away towards the shooting gallery. They all laughed and followed after her. They approached the gallery and there were a few people shooting at targets. It was a holographic range that could simulate all sorts of distances and replicate most anything for you to shoot at. Right now the range was displaying Forever Fall Forest with several large Ursa spread out in the trees. Yang laughed as she saw how slow the beasts lumbered towards the shooters and how easily they went down, this game was a joke compared to the real thing. They found five unused rifles next to each other and inserted a few Lien coins to pay for a round. Each gun's indicator displayed a twelve and they were then allowed to begin firing away at the Ursa. The young Huntsmen and Huntresses made short work of all the Ursa displayed, outpacing the games ability to populate new enemies and then sighed collectively as a group when they saw they all still had many rounds left.
"It is as I feared." Ren shook his head lightly side to side. They moved to rack their guns and walk away but were stopped by the voice of the man running the stand.
"Hey, hold up. Please wait." He came jogging over from the far side of the stand, desperately trying to get their attention before they left, waving both hands above his head. He was a large man, wearing a bright white and red striped shirt and neat brown shoes. "That was quite the performance you all just put on. You wouldn't happen to be Huntresses and Huntsmen here for the Vytal Festival would you?"
"We're all students up at Beacon actually." Yang gave him a proud smile and flexed one arm to show off her more than impressive bicep.
"Oh wow, you're real local heroes then. Do you know the ones who fought that robot on the freeway a couple weeks ago? Or who took down the White Fang rally? Or the ones that trashed the nightclub where all those criminals hang out?" The man's eyes lit up and they immediately realized the hero worship they were receiving. They hadn't been Huntsmen and Huntresses in the public eye for very long and didn't really know how to respond to the attention. Pyrrha stepped forward, Yang remembered that she had been a super star since she was barely a teenager and figured this is what it must always be like for her.
"Yes, we do know the brave Huntresses that performed those deeds. They are very talented warriors." Yang grinned at Pyrrha's understatement but said nothing, they most likely wanted to avoid telling the overzealous shopkeeper that they were in fact the ones responsible for those incidents. The man's grin grew until it nearly covered his face, Yang saw the distinct light of an idea forming behind his eyes.
"So you probably thought that game was pretty boring huh?" He looked eagerly at each of them, shifting his gaze until he reached Jaune who sighed.
"Yeah I mean, it was so slow." Jaune shoved his hands in his pockets and leaned up against one of the poles that held the stalls awning up.
"Well I have something that just might be exciting for you." He grinned again and bent down to grab a small microphone, he leaned over to them before activating it. "You'll get to play for free, I promise you'll enjoy it." then he pressed a button on the side of the small speaker and made an announcement to all the others using the shooting range, "Alright everybody, please put the rifles down. We have something very special for you." He gestured grandly to their group and Yang started to understand what he was doing, he was gonna use them as a publicity stunt. "Step up and watch some of Beacon's finest," he had no idea how good or bad they were, "take on the range at maximum difficulty." The other patrons had set their rifles down and backed away from the stall, making room for Yang and the others. The man bent down and flipped a few switches, the holographic display of Forever Fall Forest flickered away and was replaced by a nightmarish depiction of Vale under siege by Grimm.
Fire leapt up from overturned cars and sparks sprayed from downed airships. Civilians were running for cover from a terrifying onslaught of Nevermores, Ursa, Death Stalkers and Beowolves. Yang shuddered at the sight, it was their absolute worst nightmare, a city at war with the Grimm, overrun with the creatures and absolutely no hope of saving it. The holographic display paused and the man gestured to them grandly again.
"Can they best the creatures of Grimm? Come and see, come and see." He set the mic back on it's hook and waved emphatically, gesturing spectators over to his stand. He leaned over and spoke to them again as he continued waving, "It's an old training simulator from Atlas. It'll track all your stats so you can compare after. But put on a show for them would ya?" He flashed them a huge smile and swept his arms out towards the rifles, lying ready to use. Yang smiled.
"Now this is more like it. That really looks like fun." She clapped Nora on the back.
"Fun? It looks like a wonderful training exercise, this will be grand." Pyrrha rolled her shooting arm back in a slow circle, preparing herself.
"Think you can do better than me? Invincible Girl?" Yang rolled the last words, mocking Pyrrha's nickname competitively.
"I always do my absolute best Yang," she turned on her, "No going easy." They both grinned and trotted over to waiting rifles.
"Well this should be interesting. I hope I don't make a fool of myself in front of all these people." Jaune laughed nervously.
"Relax Jaune. You are perfectly capable." Ren gave him a small smile and stepped away towards a rifle. Nora spun around to face the crowd.
"Wooo. Alright, let's kill some Grimm!" she thrust her arms in the air and yelled out to the steadily growing audience. They returned her enthusiasm and a round of applause erupted. Nora ran off to Yang's other side and picked up a rifle. Yang leaned over and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
"Good luck." Yang smiled and leveled her rifle at the screen.
"Beat Pyrrha for me yeah?" Nora gave her a devious little smirk and aimed her gun as well.
The man made another announcement, trying to get as many people to the stand before they began as he could. Yang looked out over the projection, if it stayed at all like it was then she would be able to get a few right off the bat. She looked down at the guns small display to see how many rounds she had and instead saw a small timer. One Minute. So they had sixty seconds to get as many kills as possible. Oh this would be fun. Yang turned to give Pyrrha one last competitive grin before the round started and wasn't startled at all to see the girl scanning the scene, eyes focused and finger resting easily along the outside of the trigger guard. That was the focus of a champion, but Yang felt confident she could at the very least give her a run for her money.
The round started with a shout from the stall owner and the Grimm snapped back into motion. Yang was impressed at how well the simulation modeled the Grimm's movements compared to the real thing. The Ursai lumbered, the Death Stalkers scuttled and the Nevermores swooped just as she was used to. What was off was how easily the creatures went down, in that sense it was still a game. Early on she found that head shots were guaranteed kills, even against Deathstalkers who should have had enough plating over their skulls to deflect even the high caliber blasts from Nora's Magnhild. Several body shots would down the beasts which was also incredibly unrealistic, at least this way the watching crowd would be convinced that if this scenario ever came true that the Huntsmen and Huntresses before them would be able to defend them. Yang was even further impressed by the game as she saw that it accounted for injuries as well, hitting a Beowolf in the leg made it stumble, clip a Nevermore's wing and it came spiraling to the ground. She fired away at the masses of black and white monsters rushing towards them, targeting the largest clumps and trying to go for as many kills as possible, she had to beat Pyrrha's score. She saw that there were also civilians in the simulation, it probably marked you down for hitting them so she avoided the groups as best she could, she didn't want to lower her score or worse, risk shooting an innocent in front of this crowd. The minute was up before she knew it and she had to admit, that had been a lot of fun. Being able to just fire away at them like that with no risk of injury or failure was rather satisfying, a great way to blow off some steam.
The crowd cheered as the holographic images faded away and a massive 'Congratulations' spun out of the background. Simulated fireworks and celebratory noises accompanied the words and the crowd cheered even harder. This was the Vytal Festival crowd so they must be fans of Hunting combat and they were showing their appreciation for the performance they had just witnessed. The congratulatory message faded and a scoreboard spun into view, they had never given their names so they were represented by numbers instead from left to right it was Nora, Yang, Pyrrha, Jaune and Ren. The scoreboard had four columns and Yang gave it a curious look.
"What do you think the stats are?" she turned to Nora who did not look nearly as happy as her.
"Aww that was totally lame, there were no explosions or anything." Nora crossed her arms in a huffy pout.
"Don't worry, I have an idea for our next game that I know you'll love." Yang leaned over and gave her a peck on the cheek and she softened slightly.
"If you say so," she tried to stay angry but slipped into a smile. Her face jumped as the screen changed and Yang turned her attention back to the scores. The first stat was total number of kills, she watched as the number appeared, 24 for Nora, 89 for her, 94 for Pyrrha, 22 for Jaune and 67 for Ren. Yang smiled over to Nora as the crowd erupted in applause and cheering.
"Shooting's not really your thing huh?" Yang laughed as Nora flexed her biceps.
"Nope, I like to smash things." she laughed merrily and then saw Pyrrha's score, "Sorry you didn't get her." Yang shook her head.
"I got close though didn't I? And she uses a rifle every day, it's not really my thing." Yang waved the rifle around easily by the stock. The next category lit up and they swung back to the score board. Number of shots fired. "Oh that's Grimmshit, accuracy? It gave us unlimited rounds didn't it?" Pyrrha laughed gently beside her, trying to hide it, but failing miserably as the scores appeared. Nora 64 shots, Yang 130 rounds fired, Pyrrha 94, Jaune 32, and Ren 90.
"I've never seen someone fire more shots than Ren. You have a very fast finger Yang." Pyrrha tried again to stifle a giggle.
"Oh we will have to put that to the test," Nora bumped Yang with her hip and gave her a very suggestive wink. Yang was at a loss for words and found herself reduced to nearly the same shade of red as Pyrrha was, "Look, look Headshots." Nora pointed excitedly as the next category came up. She had just 3, Yang had scored a respectable 22 nearly a fourth of her kills, Pyrrha however had 94 headshots, every single bullet had flown true, Jaune had only 8 and Ren had 13.
"That's alright Pyrrha. I get it. You're really really good with a rifle. No I understand. Point taken." Yang threw up her hands in defeat.
"Oh don't be a sore loser." Nora gave Yang a poke in the shoulder, "You did way better than everyone else." Yang laughed a let her shoulders drop. Nora grabbed her around the waist and she hugged her back around the shoulders.
"Wait," she turned back to the scoreboard, "What's the last category?" They looked back to the screen as the final statistic came up, Civilians Saved. Yang hit herself in the forehead, it was a training program, of course it would track how many people you rescued, that's what the civilians were there for, you were supposed to shoot the Grimm trying to eat them. Nora had saved 11, almost half, Yang had save only 4 since she had been trying to avoid them, Pyrrha's score read 39, Jaune had saved 24 innocents, exactly as many Grimm as he had killed. That meant every single one he shot was threatening a human life. Finally Ren had scored 14 civilian saves.
"Oh Jaune. You did very well." Pyrrha turned to him with a smile.
"Really? I didn't even get that many." he laughed nervously, and Yang could barely hear him over the din of the crowd behind them.
"No, truly-" Pyrrha was cut off as the crowd rushed towards them. They were assaulted by extended handshakes, hugs, high fives, cheers, autograph requests and the jostling of everyone trying to get as near to them as possible. They all did their best, shaking hands and signing nearly everything that was handed to them, books, prizes from other games, hands and arms, Yang even signed her name on one very eager young man's forehead. The stall owner jumped up on the counter and let his voice boom out through the mic.
"Alright, alright give them some room." the crowd backed off slightly and the five students huddled together beneath the man as he continued to speak. "We've definitely got a clear winner. I thought she was special when she walked up but she's hard to recognize out of her signature shining bronze armor." He extended a hand down to Pyrrha and grasped it politely, stepping up onto the counter next to him and making sure to tuck her dress forward demurely as she climbed, "The Invincible Pyrrha Nikos everybody." The crowd exploded, rushing forward again and pressing against the counter like it was a rock concert. Nora and Yang both channeled their inner bouncer and pushed the crowd gently away, using their incredible strength to simply slide the people backwards no matter how hard they tried to rush forward. Eventually the crowd got the point and backed down, happy just to look up at the redheaded superstar. "And here you are Ms. Nikos, your bounty." He reached up above his head and grabbed a humongously oversized stuffed Ursa and handed it to her, complete with the face mask and back spikes of a full grown alpha. Pyrrha smiled politely and accepted the Ursa, holding it up above her head like a championship trophy for the entire crowd to see. Yang watched as she stared out over the crowd and finally rested her eyes on a small girl a few rows back in the crowd who had been cheering as loud as any other. Pyrrha hopped down from the counter and moved into the crowd who readily parted and allowed her through. Pyrrha walked directly to the little girl and handed her the giant toy.
"Remember to work hard and you can become anything you want to be." The girl beamed at her, eyes wide in amazement and gingerly accepted the stuffed Grimm. Pyrrha stood and gave her a light pat on the head, waved to her parents and walked back to her friends. Yang leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Done this a few times before?"
"Oh yes, that part never gets old though." Pyrrha sighed and smiled out at the crowd, waving once more over her head.
"Alright, alright. Give them some room. Please let them enjoy the carnival. It's their day off as much as yours." The crowd applauded thunderously once more and parted to let their heroes leave the stall. They waved and shook hands and high fived as they left, but the crowd was polite enough to let them leave mostly unhindered. "Who's next? Who's next?" He hopped down off the counter and started waving the hopeful customers forward.
"Well that was exciting." Jaune smiled once they were free.
"I know right? It was so awesome. I mean I'm not a Huntress for all that but it was still pretty cool." Nora giggled and teetered back and forth from one foot to the other.
"Is that what it's like Pyrrha." Yang turned to the girl.
"Well not always," Pyrrha said quietly.
"They were really amped up weren't they? I can't believe a crowd at a fair got that crazy." Nora was still bouncing back and forth, obviously even more excited than she was saying.
"Oh yes, they were very happy to watch us perform but they rather, well, tame. They were very polite." Pyrrha gave them all her polite, crowd smile and a small nod of her head.
"You must deal with that a lot huh? That's crazy, it's like they think you're a whole different kind of person." Jaune said resolutely, "That's so unfair to you." Pyrrha blushed and looked away.
"They do need someone to look up to, and if I can make a real difference for even a single person then it's worth it." Pyrrha turned and smiled to Jaune, her blush not fading.
"Wow Pyrrha. I'm just here to have fun and punch stuff." Yang laughed to try and break the tension their very serious discussion had created and Nora joined her.
"Ahh yes, punching things is fun." Pyrrha shook her head slightly and gave a small laugh.
"Now come on, I promised Nora something." Yang grabbed Nora's hand and pulled her off, the rest of the group followed behind. Yang had seen it right when they got to the boardwalk and knew that it would be Nora's favorite, the Strength Tester. You just hit a thing with a hammer and the giant digital display tells you how hard you swung. What could Nora possibly have more fun doing? As she approached she saw that there was another couple waiting to have their chance at the game. Yang smiled as she noticed the girl's bow twitch and the boy's golden tail whip slowly back and forth behind them.
"Ahhh Blake!" Nora screamed behind Yang, released her hand and raced past her towards the couple. Blake released Sun's hand and turned just in time to catch the redhead as she attempted to tackle her with a hug. Blake steadied her and patted her back gently and after a moment Nora released the Faunus girl. Yang caught up to her from behind and tossed her partner a lithe smile, so these had been her plans for today. Well, Yang was definitely never going hear the end of that from Nora.
"Hey there Blake, having fun?" Yang tossed out and Blake blushed as Nora released her. Sun smiled and she saw his tail whip excitedly to the side.
"I think we're having a good time so far," Blake smiled at Sun's response and nodded her head in agreement.
"Yes, it's been very nice." Blake dropped a hand back to her side, fingers extended outwards. Sun looked down, saw her hand and grabbed it with a start, winding his long supple fingers in between hers.
"So, you two gonna do this thing?" Yang pointed up to the strength tester that they were quite obviously in line for. Sun turned around and Nora followed her hand up to it.
"Oh Yang this is awesome," Nora squealed with excitement and clapped her hands together.
"Yeah, I was gonna give it a try. They say you can't max it out, but I bet I can." Sun pounded his chest lightly with his free hand. Just then Ren, Pyrrha and Jaune caught up to them. Ren and Pyrrha both smiled and nodded to the new couple but Jaune nearly screamed out in shock.
"You guys are together? No way, since when?" Sun laughed and Blake blushed deeply, looking away but not releasing Sun's hand.
"Well not all that long really. I kinda didn't ask her forever and ever. I thought I missed my chance really." Sun turned to Blake and gave her a huge smile, her blush lessened and she returned a fraction of the grin. "I guess I didn't though and boy am I happy about that."
"Well that's awesome. I bet you two will be great together." Jaune gave Sun a thumbs up and then glanced at the hammer machine in front of them.
"You gonna go for it Jaune?" Nora followed his eyes and saw what he was looking at.
"Yeah sure, I'll give it a try." Jaune rolled his right arm in circles, loosening up the shoulder muscles, "You wanna go too Pyrrha." Pyrrha waved a hand abashedly.
"Oh no that's quite alright.I wish you luck though, I'm sure you'll do very well." Pyrrha gave him a reassuring glance before he turned back to face the machine.
"I guess it's you and me then Jaune. Wanna make a little contest out of it?" Sun released Blake's hand and stepped towards the machine with Jaune close behind.
"Sure, what did you have in mind?" Jaune handed over the few Lien that it cost to play and the man handed him the sledgehammer.
"You just get one swing each, now be careful." the man nodded his head politely and allowed them past.
"How about the loser buys lunch?" Jaune looked back at their now seven member party and had flashbacks to the horror that was Yang and Nora at a meal.
"Uhhh, for just you and Blake? Right?"
"Oh yeah sure, and I'll get lunch for Pyrrha and you if you win." Sun gave him a clap on the back and Jaune regarded him curiously.
"But Pyrrha and I aren't-" Yang saw him begin but he was cut off by a cheer from outside the small roped in area.
"I believe in you Jaune. You can do it." Pyrrha was leaned up against the ropes, wearing a huge smile and looking on expectantly. Jaune stared for a moment and then turned back to Sun.
"Alright, you're on," he extended the hammer out towards the other boy in his left hand and held out his right hand to shake. Sun shook his hand and took the hammer. Jaune stepped back to give him room and the other boy squared up in front of the machine, hammer over his shoulder.
"He's never gonna hit it hard enough with his feet like that," Nora whispered to Yang. Yang glanced down and saw Sun's feet were side by side about shoulder width apart, absolutely zero leverage, she chuckled under her breath. "You wanna go after them?"
"Of course I do, and I bet I'll hit harder than you too." Yang gave Nora a cocky smile and there was a loud bang as Sun made contact with the surface. The numbers on the power meter scrolled quickly by, never staying long enough to read until they finally settled on 587 and the title 'Big Ursa'. The stall's attendant let out a low whistle.
"That's a hell of an arm you've got." he said and Sun laughed.
"Well I don't like to brag or anything," he pulled one arm up and rubbed his bicep. He handed Jaune the hammer and stepped over to stand by Blake, only separated by the small rope, "Alright man, you're up." Jaune looked despondently up at the huge 587 on the screen and shook his head. Pyrrha clenched the rope tightly, wringing it in both hands. Jaune stepped up to the machine, put his left foot slightly forward and brought his right leg back. He dropped the hammer head to the ground next to the target and took a deep breath. Yang saw him mutter something under his breath but couldn't make it out. Jaune heaved the hammer high into the air, keeping a firm grip on the end of the handle with both hands. It seemed to float there above his head for a moment and then he brought it slamming down with a loud clang and a grunt. The numbers spun and their group watched on until they came to rest at 594 and the same title as before. The man whistled again, louder and higher pitched this time.
"You boys are pretty strong," he said as Nora and Yang walked up behind him.
"Can we give it a shot?" Yang tapped on the man's shoulder and he turned around.
"Well of course, step on up." Yang handed over a few Lien and stepped into the roped off area.
"Damn Jaune, you got me." Sun laughed good naturedly and patted Jaune on the back and they both laughed.
"Yeah, I guess the gym's been working for me." They passed Nora and Yang on their way out and passed them the hammer.
"You boys ready to see how it's done?" Nora took the hammer happily in both hands.
"Yeah, yeah. There's a reason I didn't bet against you." Jaune laughed and went out to stand by Pyrrha. Yang looked back and was happy to see him lean down on the ropes next to her. They were both smiling and talking happily, Pyrrha probably congratulating Jaune on his win over Sun and Jaune trying to say he had just been lucky or some such nonsense..
"Alright Yang, ladies first." Nora held the hammer out to Yang.
"Oh why thank you." Yang did a big mock bow and accepted the hammer. She hefted the weight back and forth in her hands easily until she found a good balance point near the top of the shaft, then she turned back to the man she had paid, "You sure this thing's sturdy? I don't wanna break it." The man roared in laughter and slapped his knee.
"I wouldn't worry about it, you just do your worst." Yang gave him a wry grin and took a step back from the machine and cracked her neck. She cried out and swung the hammer down, not nearly putting all of her strength behind it, she really was worried she'd break the thing. The numbers started ticking upwards faster and faster and then a fourth digit appeared. The man gasped as the number came to rest at 1382, 'Goliath', "I think you boys owe her lunch." The man laughed again and stopped short as Nora grabbed the hammer.
"Oh no, she's gonna buy me lunch." Nora didn't hesitate at all, swung, the hammer in a wide circle over her head with a whoop and smacked the target. The machine rocked forward slightly and the supporting legs bit into the ground. The numbers sailed up, racing past the 1400's and stopping at 1945 and granted Nora the title 'Legendary Hunter'. Nora lifted the hammer high above her head and strutted around in a little circle, laughing and cheering and waving the mass of metal from side to side.
"You know I was gonna buy you lunch anyway right?" Yang stopped her circling and grinned at Nora's huge smile, "Plus it's a hammer Nora, kinda your thing."
"Well yeah, but it was sooo much fun." Nora dropped the hammer to her side in one hand and poked Yang on the nose, "Boop." Yang felt that stupid grin on her face like when they had just started dating. Was she ever going to get used to this girl?
A/N - Another huge chapter to continue the 'Carnival Saga' as it has been so aptly named. A big thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, it's good to know that this little slice of life excursion they're taking is still entertaining. There should only be one more chapter spent at the carnival, although I warn you, it may be very very long. After that things will return to the normal flow of bouncing around between Yang and Nora chapters and chapters where they interact with everyone else.
Some news regarding the next few weeks of posting. I will be attending and working both the Los Angeles Anime Expo and the San Diego Comic Con International shows this summer. So from June 29 to July 5 and from July 19 to July 25 there won't be any updates. I may have a few one shots I post during that time but nothing like this. Also, "Friends and Loved Ones" will begin on June 14, that's my birthday and so I thought it would be a fun time to start a new story, it too however will not be updated while I'm at the two conventions. "Friends and Loved Ones" will follow the same update schedule as "Clubbin' " so for a while I will post their chapters on the same day until "Clubbin' " finishes. I hope that gives you all lots to read.
I hope everyone's enjoying the story still. This chapter felt like a lot of fun for them, I mean it was literally just them playing games the whole time. Let me know how you felt about it. Thanks so much for reading.
