Let's begin.
Inspiration: N/A
Blake took a deep breath before placing her hands together as she tapped her forehead lightly. "So you're telling me," she began idly as she glared at Fox. "That for comedic purposes you chose something racist?" she questioned looking their host in the eye. None of the Faunus in the room looked particularly happy at the moment as they all waited for an answer.
"Yes"
Blake palmed her face as her mother giggled. "This better be funny" she warned as Fox placed a fist in its palm.
"I should've used that one instead," they muttered softly with a disappointed shake of the head. "Regardless, let this be a warning for everyone. There will be viewings that fulfill your requests, just perhaps, not in the way you think."
Blake simply growled, "Why does mine have to be the example?" she hissed with a pout.
"You can blame your father for that," Fox pointed out as Ghira sank in his chair as his wife swatted his arm playfully. "Sorry Kitten" the man muttered just loud enough for her to hear him.
"It's alright dad," she sighed as she waved her hands to move things along. "Let's... just get this over with." Everyone settled in as the lights dimmed and the screen sprang to life.
"Alright Team RWBY! It's our first weekend together what should we do?" Ruby asked cheerfully as she stretched her arms above her head. "We've even gone so far as to complete all of our weekend homework early so we can bond these two days."
"That doesn't sound like us," Yang pointed out simply as her friends and family nodded in agreement.
"But it would be a good way to make sure we have time to spend together." Weiss pointed out as she shrugged her shoulders. "That being said I'm curious about how Blake is in this."
"Whatever we're doing can you two help me get Blake off of me first?" Yang requested with a bright red face as the R and W of RWBY peered over curiously. What they saw had them giggling as Yang tried to hide her growing blush. Their last team member, Blake, was a two-trait Faunus girl who preferred a white and black color scheme. Her cat ears were at ease as her tail wrapped itself firmly around Yang's leg. "Help?" Yang begged as Blake used her as a full-body pillow.
"Too loud," the catgirl whispered sleepily as she nibbled on Yang's neckline causing the girl to yelp.
"Why is she like this?" Yang nearly shouted as she tried to control her own emotions and reaction lest she accidentally hurt Blake in her attempts to get up.
There was quiet snickering in the theatre as Blake ducked her head down in embarrassment. "Oh my, how forward miss Belladonna," Glynda noted humorously as she adjusted her glasses.
"I do not understand why this is funny," Salem whispered to her subordinate seeing no need to disrupt the playful teasing the others were subjecting the young faunus girl to.
"It's more because they know how she normally is in daily life," Cinder explained simply. "The one on screen is very different than the one in here with us."
Salem hummed "I see..." she hmmed and hawed as she looked between the two. "So are her ears covered in fur or hair?" she questioned feeling a rare sense of curiosity taking over. "I really haven't been out in ages..." she mused to herself too quietly for anyone else to hear.
Cinder opened her mouth before pausing as she considered the question. "I have no idea, my queen," she admitted with a bow of her head.
Salem waved it off "It does not matter, just a passing curiosity," the Grimm Queen declared as the others began focusing on the screen once more.
"Well, the tail part is because she likes you." Weiss pointed out with a smirk as she held up a book labeled 'Understanding Your Cat' flipping the book open to the chapter on understanding tail signs Weiss read aloud "Hm, looks like this book says it's just a friendly greeting." she mused idly reading through the information. "The nibbling probably means she likes you, or you're just tasty."
Ruby just stared at Weiss oddly "Why would you say that?" she asked worried that Weiss was even weirder than she thought.
"Excuse me?" Weiss asked glaring at Ruby who quickly tried to shield herself with her hood. "It wasn't me!" she screamed as Weiss continued to give her the evil eye.
"Why me..." Blake moaned in pain as she tried to hide her face from the indescribable look Adam was shooting her.
"Blake you're literally nibbling on me like I'm a piece of fish!" Yang pointed out with an embarrassed face. "Any form of dignity you had before coming to this theatre is gone!" she shouted half deliriously.
"Is she okay?" Ozpin whispered to their host who simply shrugged their shoulders. "I always thought miss Xiao Long would be less affected by such tame displays of affection."
"Tame?" Glynda questioned while raising an eyebrow.
"We were young, and adventurous once," Salem stated shooting the two an amused smirk. "I see you still remember our honeymoon dear." Ozpin's face reddened ever so slightly as everyone in the room turned to stare at the two former lovers. "Let's move on shall we?" he requested while turning away from everyone.
"It's right here" Weiss explained showing her the passage. "Cats may playfully nibble on someone to show affection. Of course what affection means could be anything in this case." she giggled a little "I suppose Ruby and I should leave you two love birds alone for now," covering her mouth with a hand she laughed obnoxiously as she began walking towards the door.
"Is that actually how you laugh or are you playing up the rich girl trope?" Ruby asked as she followed her partner out the door.
"Obviously, I'm playing up the trope," Weiss stated as the door closed behind them.
"But why?" The rest of their conversation was lost to Yang as they walked out of her hearing range.
Weiss palmed her face as her friends laughed. "Why..." she muttered in exasperation.
"Honestly that version of you simply thought the laugh fit the situation well," Fox explained.
"That sounds stupid." Yang pointed out as Weiss nodded in agreement. Fox could only shrug in response.
Yang sighed tiredly "Blake~" she whined nudging the girl softly in the ribs. "Let me up~"
Blake groaned and shifted around but remained attached to Yang's side "Comfy..." she murmured sleepily "Like a spot in the sun." with a bit more prodding Blake eventually sat up and looked around in a daze. "What?" she muttered blinking away some sleep.
"Finally" Yang groaned as she sat up and stretched. "Come on Kitty, we promised to go to town with Rubes and Weiss cream."
Weiss and Winter shot Yang unamused looks while Ruby and Blake merely shook their heads in exasperation.
"Feed me first" Blake ordered lazily as she lounged on Yang's bed. Yang palmed her face.
"Now is not the time for you to act so much like a house cat Blake!" she shouted getting an eye roll from the black-themed cat girl.
"On the contrary, the weekend is the perfect time for me to act selfishly." she corrected as she stuck her tongue out at Yang. "What you don't want to take care of this pussy?"
Blake's face went atomic as Yang just shut down while Roman and Neo broke down laughing. Glynda sighed and reminded herself that this was not in fact her student. "I uh..." Yang began only to pause at a loss for words.
Qrow took a swig of alcohol and shook his head "Yang's her favorite isn't she?" he questioned glancing at their host.
"Technically," Fox agreed "She's fond of her teammates to the same degree as the Blake in here with us, but she's simply more willing to give a physicality to that affection in this world."
"Really?" Ruby asked looking at Blake with stars in her eyes. Blake blushed again and looked away, "That's so sweet of you Blake!"
Kali and Ghira smiled softly as their daughter allowed her teammates to hug her, even Weiss who smiled softly once she was sure her team couldn't see her face. "Oh gag me." Adam huffed in annoyance as he looked away.
Yang made a face before sighing heavily. "Let's just go," she muttered before going through an incredibly shortened morning routine.
"Oof skipped proper hair care," Yang whispered with a wince.
"The world must be ending," Weiss suggested slyly. Qrow snickered but said nothing else.
As the two made their way to the Beacon bullhead station they passed Team CRDL who all sent various unappreciated looks Blake's way. "Taking the cat out for a walk Xiao Long?" Cardin called out mockingly getting obnoxious laughter out of his teammates. "I thought you only had to let them out of the room once and a while!"
Blake rolled her eyes at the juvenile insults before grabbing Yang's arm "Let's go, responding to these eternal virgins is a waste of time."
"Burned!" Coco shouted as she and a couple of others burst out laughing at Blake's remark
"It was petty" James pointed out
"Sometimes petty just feels good to let out." Ozpin pointed out with a shrug of his shoulders.
Jaune glanced at Pyrrha "You okay?" he asked noticing she'd been really quiet for a while now.
Pyrrha smiled "It's nothing, I just don't feel too connected to either of these viewings really." she admitted with a small shake of the head. Glancing at his teammates Jaune saw them nod their heads in agreement. "Don't worry about us Jaune, we'll probably have things to say in the future.
"What did you call us?" Carding shouted in anger as he stomped towards them. "I don't think I heard you right you fucking cat!"
Blake scoffed as she turned to face him as Yang formed a fist should Cardin even so much as reach for Blake. "You heard me, Cardin! The only way you and your pomped-up Rent Boys will get any is a pity fuck from the twenty lien whores downtown!"
"SWEAR!" Ruby screamed pointing an accusing finger at Blake who shrank in her seat as her friends and family stared at her oddly.
Sun nudged Coco's chair to get her attention "What's a rent boy?" he asked curiously causing the older girl to choke on her drink. "Uh... is it bad?" he asked seeing everyone now paying attention to them.
"Do... you not know?" Roman asked incredulously "Aren't you from Vacuo?"
"What's that got anything to do with this?" Sun asked somewhat insulted.
Salem hummed as she looked around and considered the context of the wording. "Is she calling the boy's teammates prostitutes?" she inquired getting an odd look from everyone around her. noticing the looks she scoffed "Oh please, that's a profession even older than I am."
Velvet, a little red in the face, leaned in to whisper to Sun. "She's not wrong." Sun made an odd sound but let the matter drop.
Cardin, seeing red, raised a fist to strike her. Yang acted faster and gripped his arm tightly. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." she threatened as she increased her grip strength until he backed down. "I thought so." she hissed as she pushed him backward.
"Consider yourselves lucky," Blake stated as she sauntered away while hanging onto Yang's arm "If Yang hadn't stopped you you'd find out how sharp this kitty's claws really are.
"You gods damned whore!" Cardin screamed impotently as they walked away.
"He just doesn't learn does he?" Yang muttered angrily as she considered going back to knock Cardin out.
"Don't worry about him," Blake mused as she saw Ruby and Weiss waiting for them at the station. "Today is about us!" she announced as she sauntered up to Weiss and Ruby and nuzzled her face against them both. "Hey girls, did we keep you waiting?"
Kali squealed "They are so adorable!" Ghira chuckled but didn't disagree with his wife as Team RWBY blushed under the scrutiny.
"However," he began frowning "Is that boy really so despicable?" he questioned looking at the teachers in the group. "Such behavior is unbecoming of a Hunter is it not?"
Qrow clicked his tongue "I wish we could say it is, but unfortunately, the world needs as many trained Hunters and Huntresses as possible right now. So long as he doesn't do anything criminal Beacon wouldn't have any legal reason to expel him."
"I see..." Ghira's frown deepened as he looked back towards the screen.
"So what are we going to do today?" Weiss asked
"Anything is fine if it gets us outside today" Yang declared with a grin as she threw her arms around Blake and Ruby's shoulders
Still a little red from her teammate's affectionate gesture Ruby gave them a wide smile. "Let's hit the mall!" she cheered
As the four walked away the screen faded to black signaling that the video was over.
"That was... pretty weak." Yang pointed out bluntly as she gave her opinion. "It was cute, but come on! Nothing happened!"
"Yeah, I asked for comedy, not social suicide!" Blake shouted as she shook her fist at Fox who simply bowed their head in apology.
"Not much else I can say other than sorry," they admitted as they looked around to gauge everyone else's feelings on the matter. "It seems I still have much to learn about choosing these showings," they muttered to themself as they stared off into the distance. Sighing Fox turned their attention back to Blake. "How about you select the next guest to watch?"
Blake hummed a little as she looked around the theatre. Her friends were all waving their hands as if to say "Pick me!" but what caught her attention the most was Emerald sinking into her seat, obviously trying to hide. "How about Emerald?" she stated wondering what the mint-haired girl had to hide.
Cinder sent her subordinate a look as if ordering her to pick something worth their time. "Emerald what would you like to see yourself featured in?" Fox asked kindly "There is no pressure on you to pick anything specific, just pick something that interests you."
"How about...musical theatre?" she whispered softly as she began fiddling with her clothing as Cinder merely raised an eyebrow at her.
Salem, on the other hand, was all for it. "Oh, I haven't seen a stage performance in centuries! What a wonderful idea!" Cinder's expression shifted to one of disbelief as she stared at her mistress in confusion.
Ozpin hummed "That does sound nostalgic." he admitted as a fond memory came to mind.
Fox nodded their head and held up a hand as a disc appeared. "As it so happens I did have something in mind for if anyone chose a musical piece, however," they paused to look everyone in the eye. "The one I have in mind doesn't really give Emerald much to say..." seeing the confused expressions Fox hummed as they tried to think of the words. "The musical I want to show you, only has one or two songs from Emerald in it, in the rest Emerald is more of the cause of the singing rather than a participant. That being said, Emerald, do you only want to see the songs you sing in, or would you like to see the entire musical?"
"How long is it?" Emerald questioned after seeing everyone else looking at her, waiting for her answer.
"The musical is over four hours long."
Weiss nearly choked as she shot to her feet. "Are you kidding me?" she screamed "Is this a musical or an opera?" she shouted as her teammates tried to calm her down.
"In their defense, this was made as an animated musical, not a traditional stage one." Weiss looked ready to argue about the semantics of the label but thankfully Winter made her way over and managed to calm her down.
in a whisper, Emerald glanced at her boss. "I don't know what to say."
Salem, overhearing the girl's indecision simply looked at her. "Girl, our host has left this decision squarely in your hands, do not look to Cinder for guidance." Emerald gulped nervously as the Queen of Grimm stared her down.
"Okay... Let's see the entire thing!" she stammered looking up front, eyes shaking as she tried not to let her fear show. "We need context to enjoy musical songs right?"
"Well that's up for debate, but the last two were short so a long one might be fun." Coco pointed out as she requested some popcorn.
"Is there anything we should know about this one?" Pyrrha asked curiously.
"Only that the world this musical is based on can get... confusing," Fox explained vaguely getting odd looks from the audience as they tried to make sense of it all.
Alright, I am about to do something incredibly stupid of me, but what else is new. I honestly shouldn't have even used this idea for a comedy piece for Blake. I also apparently like to make things harder for myself.
Well, in any case, the quality of this chapter is pretty indicative of why these ideas of mine usually stay unwritten. It was only supposed to be something funny but I could only think of stupid cat puns and jokes and honestly, those got old to me as I was writing the little I have here.
I don't know why but in my head Emerald is the type to just like Musicals. If you guys want, let me know what types of media you think the others would like to see when their turns come around. Please try to keep it to a general theme, such as Emerald likes musicals, Yang likes action, Ruby likes heroes, etc.
