I forgot to mention last chapter that the "Big Bastard Ale" I used was one of the beer bottle names From the Syndicate game. Just so you know
Nightclub - 8:40PM
Jacob, David and Arthur have been partying for the last hour. They were drinking alcohol, dancing for a little bit, drink more alcohol, Jacob and David watching Arthur fail at trying to get some girl in a white dress's number and laugh their asses off, and now they're back at the circular couch to the side drinking more alcohol and telling jokes.
"Oh! Oh! I got one that I liked to tell back in Patch." David says a little drunk.
"Lets hear it." Jacob says.
David takes a sip of his drink. "OK. So there's three guys walking in the woods one day, and they come across this thing of mud that's like really deep. So they decide to bet and see who can land a rock in the mud the deepest. The first guy throws a rock in the air and it lands a foot deep in the mud. Next guy goes up, throws it, and lands 3 feet deep in the mud. Last guy goes up, throws it and...it doesn't come down." David says.
Jacob and Arthur look at each other confused and look back at David. "So this other joke i liked to tel-"
"Woah! woah! what the fuck dude?!" Arthur yells. "What happened to the rock?!" He asks.
"That's the joke, nothing happens in the end." He simply says.
Arthur crosses his arms and leans back onto the couch. "That sucked..."
"So what's the other joke?" Jacob asks.
"Alright so this lady wants to take an airship to see her grandma and she wants to bring her pet bird with her. But the only flight she could afford was a flight that didn't allow smoking or birds. So she hides the bird in her jacket. Everything's going fine so far, right now she's in the air with the bird still in her jacket. The pilot comes out from the cockpit, just walking around and checking the people. She walks over to the lady and the bird stars chirping. The pilot asks what was that, then the bird chirps again. The pilot asks her to open her jacket and she does so and the bird is there. The pilot takes the bird then opens a window and says 'there's no birds allowed on this airship!' and then throws it out the window. The lady takes the cigar out of the pilots mouth and says 'there's no smoking allowed on this airship!' and throws it out the window. The pilot walks back into the cockpit all pissed and stuff. A few minutes later he hears some tapping on the window and he sees the bird just standing there. What does the bird have in his mouth?" David asks.
"The cigar?" Jacob and Arthur ask.
"Nope. The rock from the last joke." He says then stands up. "Imma go get some more drinks." He says then leaves
Jacob and Arthur take a second to understand it and when they do understand it they burst out laughing.
Meanwhile in RWBY(J)'s dorm
"Alright Evie. Truth or dare?" Yang asks.
"Truth." She says.
"Ok..." Yang thinks of something to asks then smiles evilly at her. "...Do you like Vomit Boy?" She asks.
Evies facial expression changes from calm to slightly fearful of the question. In the last month, when Evie wasn't on missions Ozpin sent her and Jacob on, she would be with Pyrrha helping Jaune with training at night. She's never told anyone this, not even Pyrrha, but she was slowly falling for Jaune in that time. She doesn't however act on her affections because she doesn't want dating to distract her from finding the Apple. That, and her and Pyrrha have became good friends as time went on, she doesn't want to ruin that friendship by ruining Pyrrhas chances with Jaune.
"W-Well, I wouldn't say that I...LIKE him in the sense that you're talking about..." She says.
The crystal turns red and lets out a small bit of electricity and shocks Evie with it. She yelps and jumps back in surprise.
Evie looks around and sees everyone staring at her. "I mean...He-he is a good friend and I'm...I-I-I'm glad to have been able to help him get much better with the sword, but I wouldn't say that he's the type of person I would...you know, date?" Evie says. She gets shocked again by the crystal.
She looks around again, embarrassed of the situation and with blushing cheeks. There's no way she's getting out of this situation now so she just admits it.
She sighs and lowers her head. "Fine...I like him." She admits. There was an awkward silence for the girls...And then Evie lifted her head up and smirked at Yang. "Truth or dare Yang." She says.
Yang smirks at her. "Is that how it's going to be, eh? Dare." She teases. "Bring it."
"I dare you to let me rub a sharpie marker on your arm and then let me point my camera at it." She says. Pyrrha, Blake and Weiss go wide eyed slightly, no doubt because they know about what Evie just said.
Yang raises an eyebrow. "Uh...weird...but OK." She grabs a marker and hands it to Evie.
Evie grabs her arm and take the sharpie. She opens it and makes a large circle on Yangs arm with it. She then takes out her scroll and goes to camera mode. She presses the lens onto the part of the arm that has sharpie on it, hits the camera button and the flash shines right onto the arm. After a second yang screams in pain.
"OWWW!" Yang screams. She pulls her arm back and hold her arm. Evie starts laughing and so do the other girls. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
"I read about it a few days ago. If you rub sharpie on yourself then point a camera right onto the sharpie and hit the flash, it'll hurt like hell for a second." She says.
(AN: True thing that can happen. I found out about it the day before I started writing this chapter. Idk who thought of doing it, but that can happen for some reason.)
"Ugh, fine...I guess I deserved that." Yang says with a small smile. "Now who wants to watch a movie?" Yang asks.
Everyone gets up from the floor to help set up the stuff for the movie. Pyrrha takes Evies shoulder, Evie looks at her knowing just what she wants to talk about. They move to the other side of the room while the others are other side of them.
"Do you really like Jaune?" She asks.
"Yes...But Pyrrha, like I told you before, I do not wish to date him or anything. I guess I just haven't entirely gotten over him." Evie explains.
Pyrrha doesn't say anything for a few seconds, which scared Evie a little bit.
Pyrrha smiles slightly and puts a hand on her shoulder. "Evie, it's alright." She says. "I can understand why you like him...Heh, who wouldn't, right?" She says.
Evie chuckles at the joke. "You're not wrong..." She says. "But trust me. You don't have to worry about me getting in the way of you." She says.
"Thanks Evie." They both hug then go back with the others.
Downtown - 9:30PM
"Thanks for getting us kicked out of the nightclub." David says sarcastically to Arthur. They're all now in town just walking after just leaving the nightclub.
"I told you before. That asshole was gettin pushy with that chick in white." He replies. he's got alcohol and blood stains on his clothes. "And as a respectful gentleman, I thought it was right to help her." He adds with a smug tone
"So you smash a glass bottle over his head?!" Jacob asks.
"You could've killed him ya know!" David adds.
Arthur shrugs. "Eh, at the very least I probably knocked him out. But who cares, because I got that girls number!" Arthur says then looks at Jacob. "And also Jacob! Didn't you beat the shit outta 4 guys for pullin on some rabbit girls ears?" He asks.
"Hey that was different, I never almost killed them." Jacob says.
"Ah-wel...ye-yeah that's...a good point actually." Aruthur says.
"I still can't believe you got us kicked out before any of us could get hammered." He says.
"Oh common. I'm sure there's another bar in the entire kingdom that's open." Arthur says.
"That nightclub was ONLY place in this entire kingdom that doesn't check ID!" David tells him. Arthur has his hands up but still with his smug smile on him.
"Eh, it doesn't matter at this point guys. The last airship to Beacon is leaving soon so we should start heading back." Jacob says.
Davids scroll rings and he looks at a text. Davids eyes narrow as he's reading what it says. "Dammit not now..." He mutters then puts his scroll in his pocket. "Sorry guys, but why don't you two head back to Beacon? I got some stuff to take care of." David says then turns around.
Jacob looks at him walk away. "What? Now? Where are you going?" He asks.
David turns around and walks backwards. "I'll be back later!" He turns around again and runs off.
Jacob looks confused as he runs then looks back at Arthur when he hears him grunt.
"Ugh, fuckin prick. This is the kinda shit he pulls when we're hanging out!" Arthur says clearly pissed off.
"What do you mean?" Jacob asks.
"At least half the times when we've hung out back in Vacuo, at some point he'll get a text from someone, then he'll just up and leave after he reads it." Arthur explains.
"Do you know who from?" He asks.
"No idea. He never tells me." He says. He shakes his head then sighs. "Like...don't get me wrong, I respect David a lot. But it's the shit like this that pisses me off sometimes. I just hoped this stuff wouldn't happen while we're here, in Vale..." Arthur says, his eyes are looking at the ground and he's got a blank expression. Then he looks back up at Jacob. "Ah, but fuck it man. He'll be back eventually." He says.
Jacob nods. "Let's get going to the airship."
They walk off to the landing docks. Jacob however, is still thinking about David and him just leaving like that.
'It's almost 10. Why would David need to leave out like that of nowhere?' He thinks, then he just shrugs it off. 'Must have something to do with the Swarm.' He looks over at Arthur walking ahead of him. 'I feel bad for Arthur. It's hard to have a good friend be so secretive around you.' He thinks.
Airship - 9:47PM
Jacob and Arthur are now in the airship headed back to Beacon. Jacob looking out the window, and Arthur sitting on the ground with his back on the wall, one knee in the air with him resting his arm on it.
They hope they can make it back to Arthurs room without running into any of the teachers along the way, given how they aren't drunk, but they look and smell like they've been drinking for hours. Even Goodwitch will give Jacob a hard time about it. Even if he and Evie are now apart of their secret super hero club, shes still a teacher. And won't have any trouble with punishing Jacob for it. And Arthur? That goes without saying that she'll have no issue with him.
"Yo guess who I hears coming to Beacon tomorrow." Arthur says.
Jacob turns to him. "Who?"
"Atlas Academy. 'The first class kingdom'". He says.
Jacob walks over and leans on a wall. "What is Atlas like? I've never been there before." He says.
Arthur sighs. "I visited the place one time and honestly, the place sucks. It's freezing, everyone's so 'classy and sophisticated', and almost everyone's bitching about Faunus." Arthur says. "They're so fucking full of themselves it's so annoying!"
"ugh...Not a place I would want to visit." Jacob says.
Arthur chuckles. "Yeah. The women aren't even that good to look at." He adds. "They're not like bad looking, but they don't even show off what they got. See now, that's one of the things I love about the ladies in Vacuo." He says with a smirk.
"You seem like quite the ladies man." Jacob says.
"You. have no. fucking idea." He tells him. "We got a team in our school called Team NDGO, they're all ladies. VERY lovely ladies. And I managed to get with all four of them in less than a month." He says.
Jacob smirks. "All at the same time?" He asks.
"Oh man I wish...But na, it was one at a time." Arthur says.
The airship finally lands at Beacon by the cliff. As Arthur and Jacob exit, they make their way down the pathway leading to the school. It's pitch dark out at this point now, and everyone's in their rooms at this point.
Jacob grabs Arthurs shoulder. "Hey Arthur, if it's all the same with you, I'm going to go see if the girls have any food left over we can eat." He says.
"Have fun. You know where my room is." Arthur says.
Jacob walks a different direction to the Beacon dorm building, while Arthur makes his way to the transfer dorm building.
Dorm hallway - 10:07PM
As Jacob rounds the corner to his room, he bumps into Yang along the way.
"Oh, hey Jacob." She says with a smile.
"Hey Yang." She says back. "What are you doing out here?"
"Nothing special. Just headed to the bathroom." Yang says.
"Hey, do you have any food in your dorm left? I'm staying in David and Arthurs dorm tonight." He tells her.
"We got way too much pizza for the party and got a lot left over. Help yourself." She says.
"Thank you." He walks off. But not before Yang stopped him.
"Oh Jacob wait! One more thing?" She asks. She all of a sudden became a little uncomfortable.
"Sure."
"Um...So that day you were yelling at Weiss a month ago, and slipped out the part of your...um...your dad." She says. "I was just wondering, if it's ok with you, what...what happened to him?" She asks.
Jacob looks down at the floor thinking that over what she asked. "Oh...I see." He says.
"I-I mean, you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to! I just... wanted you to try and let you know that I'm her for you. If you want to talk about that kind of stuff." She takes his hand and holds it with her two hands. "When you mentioned it before, I noticed how mad you got after saying it." She adds.
Jacob looks at Yang with a sincere smile. "Thank you Yang, I do appreciate your concern. However, I would prefer not to talk about my past, especially about my father...not now at least." He tightens his grip in her hands. "I hope you can understand why."
"It's ok. I understand." She says with a smile. "I'm here for ya, if you need to talk about that stuff ya know." She smirks. "I'm more than just a pretty face." She teases.
He smirks back. "Right you are." He says as he rises his hand up with Yangs hands still holding his hand. He gives her hand a kiss, making Yang giggle slightly at his action. He looked down at her arm and noticed some black smudge on Yangs arm. "What's on your arm?" Jacob asks.
"It's a long story. You should probably get the rest of that pizza before Nora eats it all." She says.
Jacob nods at her. "Good point. See you tomorrow Yang." He says. They both walk off in different directions.
David and Arthurs room - 12:15AM
Jacob and Arthur are watching movies and eating the pizza the girls had left over. It's now getting pretty late and they decide to get going to bed. Arthur turns the TV off and throws the pizza boxes away.
"Uh, I don't have any pajamas on me." Jacob says.
Arthur raises an eyebrow. "So? I'm not fancy, just sleep in your boxers. I don't give a shit." He says.
Jacob shrugs and walks into the bathroom to strip. When he walks out, he's got the clothes in his hand. All he has on is his boxers.
"Where do you want your clothes?" He asks.
"Ah, just throw them in the corner. I'll wash em tomorrow." He says. Jacob does just that. He turns around to sleep. problem is, Arthur got a room that only has two beds. "Oh also you can take Davids bed. I'm sure he won't mind." Arthur says.
Jacob slips into Davids bed then Arthur hits the light switch just before jumping into his bed. Jacob slowly falls to sleep. Finally ending an actually pretty interesting day for him.
