SCREEN
Inspiration: John Wick
Fox hummed as they set up the next viewing. "Qrow, I'm thinking of showing the party setup as well as the party would that satisfy you, or would you only like to see the party?"
Qrow opened his mouth to speak only for Raven to cut him off "As if this idiot could set up a tent let alone a party"
Qrow felt his eyebrow twitch 'She's just trying to get under your skin' he mused to himself as he took some calming breaths.
Yang laughed "Yeah, it's probably disco or something stupid"
Qrow grits his teeth "Of all the things for these two to have in common..." he ground out much to Salem's amusement as she watched the two Branwen women browbeat Qrow into picking the longer option. "The setup and the party"
"In that case let us not delay any further" Fox announced as the screen lit up.
Qrow walked with purpose down the streets of Rome before spotting the workshop he needed to visit. Straightening his suit, he calmly opened the door acknowledging the small chime it gave off as he locked eyes with the proprietor. The man, a historian named Oobleck nodded his head politely "Mr. Branwen" he greeted before stepping back and opening a secret passage behind his desk. He gestured to Qrow to follow him.
"This doesn't look like any party prep I've ever seen" Yang muttered wondering what was going on.
"Maybe it's for high society?" Jaune muttered not quite believing it himself.
The screen transitioned to a clothing factory where Qrow slid an ornate golden coin to a worker near the back entrance. She accepted the coin without words and guided him to the back.
The screen transitioned again as Qrow approached the counter of a specialty wine distributor "Is the Sommelier in?" Qrow asked politely as the receptionist looked up to greet him.
She gave a little look knowing they both knew the answer and that he was simply asking for politeness' sake. "I have never known him not to be"
Weiss hummed, impressed despite herself "What classification is the Sommelier he is going to see?" she asked the younger members of the audience stared at her in confusion while the members aware of the title looked to Fox for the answer.
"He is a Master class Sommelier" Weiss took a deep breath as the other adults turned to Qrow in surprise.
"Is... is that important?" Ruby asked not quite understanding why the adults were acting like her Uncle did something really weird.
"It's proof that your uncle is preparing a party for VERY important people. A business that's employing a Master Class Sommelier is paying, on average, a one-hundred and fifty thousand Lien salary for ONE individual" Weiss explained as the two sisters choked on their own spit as Qrow whistled appreciatively "Those types of professionals don't serve cheap options."
"And I'm still getting weird vibes from this whole thing" Yang muttered Ren nodded his head in agreement but offered no guesses of his own.
When Qrow entered the room the Sommelier was working in he noted all of the firearms on display as the Sommelier, Junior, finished cleaning some of the display pieces.
"What...?"
Junior turned towards Qrow and nodded his head in greetings "Good afternoon, Mr. Branwen" he moved to stand behind his desk "It's been a long time"
Qrow nodded his head in agreement his expression never changing "I'd like a tasting"
Raven rubbed her forehead in annoyance "Is this one of those secret society-type shows?" seeing the others looking at her she rolled her hand in a move-along manner "You know, speak in codes, obey certain rules, only members can know the truth, yadda yadda"
"Correct" Fox nodded their head happily "And Qrow is getting ready for a very big party"
"Oh..." Ruby and Nora drew out their vowels as things started clicking into place for them.
"Oh no..." Weiss whispered, "Who is the party for?" She received no answer.
The screen transitioned back to Qrow's time with Oobleck "I am quite excited to show you something..." he turned on a projector as Qrow stepped up beside him "...first" he began as the screen transitioned once more.
The unnamed factory worker brought Qrow through heavily guarded doors where a well-dressed man was waiting "Buongiorno signore Branwen"
"Ciao Roman" Qrow greeted amicably
"Welcome back to Rome" he brushed some dirt off of Qrow's suit "Avresti bisogno di un vestito nuovo? [Would you be in need of a new suit?]"
"I am" Qrow nodded his head
"Oh cool, new language with subtitles" Emerald muttered "Why though?"
"Professional inquiry, maybe he slipped into his mother tongue out of habit" Velvet offered as a way of explanation
"If this is a movie, it might just be a reminder that they're not in the protagonist's country of origin" Cinder pointed out
The screen switched back to Junior "I know of your past fondness for the German varietals, but..." he paused to see if Qrow was willing to try something new, so to speak, "I can wholeheartedly endorse the new breed of Austrians" he picked two handguns off the shelf "Glock-34 and 26" Qrow nodded his head to show that he was listening.
Oobleck placed a worn blueprint on the projector light "This is the original map of the Schnee estate" he gestured to the far right of the map "Here you have the ancient ruins..."
"An assassination" Salem mused "How droll"
"Thank the gods Adam isn't here" Blake muttered as Ruby tried to calm a panicking Weiss "He would definitely make this worse for everyone"
Qrow frowned "Even in picking something to watch I have no luck huh?" he mused with a depressed sigh.
Roman muttered something to his assistants as he finished gathering Qrow's measurements "Tell me, Mr. Branwen, is this a formal event or a social affair?"
"Social"
"And is this for day or evening?" Roman asked softly
"I need one for the day and one for the night"
Junior allowed Qrow to grasp the pistol to get a feel for the weapon "Recontoured grips, flared mag-well for... easier reloads, and I know you'll appreciate the custom porting." Qrow nodded his head in satisfaction "What's next?"
Qrow paused to gather his thoughts before looking Junior in the eyes "I need something robust, precise" Junior tilted his head repeating the requested traits. he raised a brow and tilted his head in the other direction as his mind settled on a suitable selection.
"Robust... precise..." Ruby hummed as she leaned back in her chair. "Sounds like... a rifle? Semi-automatic maybe?"
"Weiss... you okay?" Yang asked as she glanced at the heiress
"I will be, just... my family being targeted for assassinations isn't... new" Blake winced even if she had never participated in such attempts it still hurt to be reminded of how far the fang had fallen.
Oobleck placed another map down "This is the map of the temple and catacombs underneath" Qrow glanced at Oobleck before turning back to the map memorizing everything he could use.
Roman smiled faintly "In what style?" he asked politely
"Italian"
"How many buttons?"
"Two"
"Trousers?"
"Tapered"
"How about the lining?"
"Tactical"
"Does...getting a suit really get that detailed?" Jaune muttered
"Well... if you ignore the lining part" Weiss nodded her head "There is a lot of social etiquette regarding this, if you're that interested you might want to look it up I know when a suit is being worn improperly, but not the reasons why it's considered proper or improper."
"Ugh..." Nora groaned "I think we'll stay normal plebs all our lives, Ren!"
Ren smiled softly "What if we get invited to a high society party because of our work?"
"We'll just decline, say we have more work to do!"
"That might not work forever" Ren pointed out calmly.
"UGH!"
Salem hid her laughter behind her hands "I can't say I miss those days of endlessly worrying about proper appearances and whether or not my clothing was appropriate for whatever event I was attending."
Junior pulled a rifle from the shelf and offered it to Qrow who began inspecting it "AR-15, 11.5-inch. Compensated with an ion-bonded bolt carrier. Trijicon accupoint with 1-6 magnification."
Oobleck pulled out another blueprint and laid it on the projector "...And this is the modern blueprint. There are one, two, and three gates"
the worker who had brought Qrow to Roman pulled out a pistol and fired six shots into a dummy wearing a suit "Silicon carbine disks, Ceramic matrices, accompanied laminates, cutting edge body armor. We sew it between the fabric and the lining. Zero penetration" Roman explained as showed off the rounds flattened against the body armor showing no damage to the dummy "However, quite painful I'm afraid"
"That... is amazing" Qrow muttered "Especially in a world with no Aura? to just block bullets by holding one of your suit pockets forward to prevent the kinetic force from reaching your body is a godsend!"
Qrow looked Junior in the eyes "Could you recommend anything for the end of the night? Something big, bold"
Junior smiled "May I suggest the Banelli M4" he took a moment to offer the shotgun to Qrow who quickly inspected it "Custom bolt carrier release and charging handle, textured grips, should your hands get... wet" he shrugged a shoulder "An Italian classic"
Qrow, satisfied with the selection set it down gently "Dessert?" he asked getting a fond smile from Junior
"Dessert" he mused pulling out a case and opening it for full display "The finest cutlery. All freshly stoned" Qrow selected his choice and showed it to Junior.
"This... is turning out to be one hell of a party huh?" Qrow muttered slightly worried about just how much prep work was going into a single operation.
"It must be necessary." Raven pointed out more eager to see the operation in practice rather than the preparations being made for it. "This version of you doesn't look like one to half-ass things"
"Anything to ensure the success of the mission huh?" Qrow muttered bitterly "Make me sound like one of those robotic creeps in Atlas why don't you" Raven shrugged her shoulders
Oobleck offered a key chain with three keys to Qrow who nodded his head and placed five golden coins into the historian's hand "Well done"
Qrow glanced at Roman's notes about his order "Could you do a rush order?" he asked
"I sure can" Roman nodded "Where would you like to have it sent?"
"The Hotel" Qrow stated
Junior smiled "Shall I have everything sent to your room?"
Qrow nodded "Yes, thank you"
"Excellent" Junior nodded as Qrow began to leave "And Mr. Branwen?" he called out causing Qrow to stop and look back curiously "Do enjoy your party" Qrow nodded his head in thanks and exited the room.
"So... why am I going to kill a Schnee?" Qrow asked beyond annoyed at his own luck at this point.
"You owe someone a significant favor to put it simply" Fox explained simply "They helped you pull off an 'impossible' job and now you owe them a favor of equal scale."
"And they want me to kill a Schnee?"
"Correct"
Qrow groaned into his hands "Just my luck"
The night of the attack had arrived and Qrow began to check his gear. He meticulously loaded each mag and made sure all of the guns were cleaned and the risk of jams minimized. Content that his suit was up to par he loaded up his bag and set out to finish his setup. He remained silent as he unlocked the first gate and entered the grounds of the estate, checking each corner and dark corner, looking for a good drop site. The music above was pounding as he quietly opened the second gate and continued his observation of the area. Upon opening the third gate he noted a good spot and loaded the Banelli before hiding it atop a stone pillar the spare shotshells soon followed before he continued on his way. he continued walking at an unhurried pace before seeing his next drop site and checked the AR-15 before loading a mag and hiding it in a dark corner one would need a flashlight to see even if they were looking right at it. Satisfied that his exfil was set correctly he made his way into the main estate where he quickly spotted his target walking with her personal bodyguard. Winter Schnee was as beautiful as he remembered her to be. He cut off whatever memories were trying to resurface, he had a job to do, and then he would be finally free of the marker held above his head.
"No..." Weiss muttered in devastation seeing her sister as the target "Winter!" she shouted before her teammates quickly pulled her into a group hug while Qrow's frown deepened even further than previously thought possible.
"Well at least she's not here to watch this" he muttered in irritation. Raven said nothing, she imagined she would have felt the same if it were her in Qrow's place and Taiyang in Winter's. "No snarky comments, Sis?" Qrow asked giving her a side-eye.
She shrugged in response "There's nothing to say. As your other said, you have a job to do, no matter how much you don't want to do it" she leaned back in her chair a frown clear on her face "I imagine you'll seek out revenge after the task is complete."
"Then why go through with it?" Weiss screamed, "If you're going to just kill the one who ordered the hit, why would you complete it first?"
Qrow sighed "It's whatever that marker is" he explained in a detached manner "Like Rae said when this started, secret societies like this probably have rules that they're obligated to obey. Rulebreakers are probably dealt with...permanently"
Qrow watched as Winter and her bodyguard, Clover, entered her personal break room. If she was still the same as he remembered she would ask Clover to look after the guests while she freshened up, which would give him enough time to get in, complete the job, and get out. True to form Clover stepped out and made a beeline for the central stage. Qrow made his move as he slipped into the room as Winter was reapplying her makeup. She froze once she saw his form in her mirror "Qrow"
"Winter" he greeted back while he watched as she tried to figure out her options.
Turning to face him she decided to confirm her thoughts "There was a time, not so long ago when we could see each other as friends"
Qrow nodded his head as he paced around the pool in the middle of the room never allowing her out of his vision. "I still do" he admitted softly
Winter's expression didn't change as she stare him in the eyes "And yet here you are L'emissario della morte [Death's very own Emissary] What brought you back Qrow?" she asked
"A marker" Qrow stated as if it explained everything. And to Winter, it did "Held by?" she asked curiously despite herself.
"Your brother"
"Whitley?" Weiss muttered in horror
"Wow... this is tense" Emerald muttered watching the others' reactions
"So her brother, jealous of her success set arguably the world's best assassin after his sister?" Salem questioned wanting to make sure she understood the situation correctly. Seeing their host nod their head she sighed "What is this? the Medieval period?"
"That's the battle of succession for you I guess" Blake muttered softly having read numerous similar scenarios in her various books.
Weiss rounded on her "Are you saying that she got picked for the succession of the family over him so he decided to kill her?"
Blake raised her arms up defensively "I'm just saying that's what it looks like"
Winter understood everything as she looked away "Tell me, Qrow" she began as she paced in front of her mirror "This marker, is it how you got out?" Qrow merely nodded his head "And what was her name? This woman whose life has ended my own"
Qrow swallowed the lump in his throat at the reminder of his deceased wife "Summer"
"Summer?" Winter questioned in a tone of voice that caused Qrow to tilt his head in confusion "This Summer... was she worth the price you now seek to pay?" Qrow simply nodded his head causing Winter to sigh in frustration. Quickly shoving the emotions aside she stared him in the eyes "Now, let me tell you what happens when I die" she ordered before turning away from him. "Whitley will lay claim to my seat at The Table. He will take New York. And YOU will be the one to have gifted it to him" Winter stared at her reflection in the mirror before slowly disrobing unmindful of Qrow's piercing gaze as he kept an eye on her, just in case she had another trick tucked away somewhere. After undoing her hair and letting it down she looked over her shoulder at him "What would your Summer think about that Qrow? What would your Summer think about you?" she asked as she held a blade to her wrist as she took a seat in her jacuzzi Qrow watched impassively as Winter dug the blade into her artery and cut along the vein in her arm.
Weiss quickly turned away unable to watch any longer. Yang tried to shield Ruby's eyes but her sister calmly held her sister's arms away giving her a sad look "I can handle it..." she whispered instead choosing to lean into Yang's side and draping her sister's arm over her shoulders
Qrow grits his teeth and chugged the rest of his flask before waving a hand signaling for a refill. "Bloody semblance" he muttered under his breath. Raven simply took a deep breath as she leaned back in her seat
"Why?" Qrow asked softly as her blood flowed freely
"Because..." Winter began "I lived my life my way. And now, I die my way" she declared as she reclined in the water letting her blood flow into the water "Do you fear damnation Qrow?"
Qrow slowly began to circle her so that she was facing away from him and he could no longer see her face "Yes" he admitted after a pause. Slowly Qrow took a seat beside her and gently grasped her hand squeezing softly to speed up the process. Once he saw her head loll to the side in unconsciousness he gently placed her hand back in the water and took out his pistol and pointed it at her head. without hesitation, he pulled the trigger before standing up and making his way out of the room.
"It's over Weiss... you can look again" Blake whispered slowly pulling the other girl into a hug.
"And now the exfil" Ren noted with little fanfare "I hope it's a little less depressing than the rest of this has been" the rest of JNPR nodded their heads in agreement.
Qrow was making his way out when Clover caught sight of him "Qrow?" the man called out in surprise
Qrow grimaced before turning to face the man "Clover" he nodded in acknowledgment.
Clover's fingers twitched "You working?"
Qrow's fingers tensed "Yeah, you?"
Clover nodded his head "Yeah" after a pause he asked "Good night?"
Qrow maintained eye contact realizing he wouldn't get out of a fight at this point "Afraid so"
Clover's eyes narrowed "Sorry to hear that" he offered as condolence before both men pulled out their sidearms and opened fire going to the ground as the other partygoers quickly got out of the way. Qrow recovered first and quickly scrambled away as Clover called in for backup. "Prendilo! [Get him!]" as two of his subordinates helped him up he quickly sent them after Qrow as he rushed to check on Winter.
"And now the party" Raven hummed, delighted to see something interesting for once.
"I uh... prefer actual parties I think" Yang muttered softly getting her teammates to giggle at her.
Qrow quickly ran towards his exfil route making sure not to swing his arms too much so that he could react should someone get in his way. cutting through the stage he saw a guard running at him pulling out his pistol he put two rounds into his skull before surveying the area for any more threats as the crowd roared likely all members of organizations that worked under The Table and thus familiar with such sights. Seeing no one he jumped off the stage and began pushing through the crowd brushing past another guard who hadn't seen his face when they passed. not giving the man a chance he put a round into his forehead before moving. another guard saw him and reached for a weapon but Qrow was faster as he shot the man twice in the chest and once in the forehead for good measure. Another man tried to aim at Qrow only for the assassin to strike his arm upwards before flipping the man onto his back. he quickly put one round into his chest and another in his head before ducking under another's arms. he used his left arm as a pivot and pushed before shooting the man in the stomach, staggering him before finishing him off with two rounds to the head. as the guard fell over Qrow saw another running up and put two rounds into the newest combatant's face before moving on. Taking the brief interlude in combat he tossed out the nearly empty mag and slammed in a new one before putting two rounds into another guard and another two into a second guard right after.
Hitting a third in the chest he pushed the man into a fourth guard before making space and finishing both off. Firing a round into a fifth guard's chest he grabbed the man as he staggered forward. Pulling his head back he fired point-blank into the back of the man's skull before running forward. reaching a pillar he reloaded his weapon before waiting for the guard he heard nearby to move towards him. Seeing the barrel of the gun he slammed his arms on top of the guard's weapon forcing it down before ramming the barrel of his own pistol into the man's chest as he fired two rounds. retreating as another guard fired at him. Hearing a pause as the guard tried to confirm the situation Qrow peaked around the corner and hit the gunman twice dropping him before moving forward towards the catacombs.
As he moved past another pillar a guard charged him. Qrow spun with momentum before driving his elbow into his opponent's dropping the other man's gun onto the ground. he quickly dropped a guard who had been running up before slamming the man in his grasp onto the floor and finishing him off with a headshot as he quickly switched targets to a third guard. The fourth almost hit him, but he tossed the man onto his back before shooting a fifth guard in the face and finishing the fourth off. taking cover behind a large rock Qrow reloaded as several guards ran past, Qrow watching them the entire while. Seeing that they hadn't seen him he quickly, and quietly moved in the other direction.
"That was awesome!" Ruby cheered despite herself. "If only it wasn't so...bloody though" she muttered softly "That gunplay was so cool though!" she cheered causing Qrow to chuckle softly.
"It was pretty cool" Yang muttered with a smirk as she elbowed Blake who only rolled her eyes and smiled back.
Salem sighed "If only my own subordinates could be so..." she paused to think of a proper word "Efficient"
Qrow carefully made his way through the catacombs before coming up on Whitley's bodyguard, Neopolitan, in a more open section of the catacombs. He sighed "Loose ends?" he asked
Neo smirked and signed [Just one...] promptly flipping him the bird causing Qrow to grunt as he subtly checked his gun.
"Yeah..." Qrow muttered quickly pulling his suit lapel up as Neo's subordinates poured in from the shadows. he quickly gunned down the goon on his less protected side as he quickly backed up. He gunned down three more before turning a corner. Neo signed for her men to pursue as she followed after them gunshots ringing loudly within the catacombs.
"Of course, he betrays him" Weiss sighed "Why am I not surprised?"
"Cause he's basically the poster boy for everything the White Fang hates about the Schnee family?" Blake asked rhetorically
"Wow... say what you really think Blake" Yang muttered
"He can't be that bad... right?" Ruby asked hopefully
"He's getting there" Weiss grumbled under her breath.
Glancing over his shoulder Qrow quickly shot the closest pursuer in the head, turning a corner he quickly turned back and held his position as two flashlights ran toward his corner. once they were close enough he opened fire on them downing two before he was forced to continue his escape. The men approached the turn cautiously as they cleared the near corners before following after him down the path.
"Smart" Cinder mused aloud. "He has planted that doubt in their minds. He is not above standing his ground should the opportunity arise. Now they have to be more cautious lest they make themselves even easier to ambush."
"Basically saying 'If you give me a chance, I will kill you' huh?" Jaune muttered as he made note of Qrow's tactics. quietly turning to Pyrrha he asked, "Is this the most efficient way to deal with a group as an individual?"
Pyrrha hummed "Depends" she eventually answered "Aura and semblances are the big game changers, but the basic idea is sound. The theory is that you want to turn the fight into several one-vs-one scenarios rather than a single one-vs-many scenario. Following that logic Qrow's consistent retreat while whittling away at the enemy numbers makes sense." Jaune nodded his head slowly to show he understood as he continued to watch the scene.
Reaching a certain pillar Qrow braced himself against it and fired two shots toward his pursuers forcing them into cover and giving him time to pull out the main course of the night. He quickly checked the chamber and threw the gun sling over his shoulders before taking aim and dropping the two nearest pursuers. using the brief lull to keep moving he steadily made his way forward firing several rounds into a corner where he noted a flashlight. Seeing one man drop he moved past the entrance and fired some probing rounds into the darkness before swinging his aim toward another enemy in the open. Hearing a warcry he lowered the gun and grasped the attacker's arm before throwing both himself and the other man onto the ground. Hearing more nearing his position he quickly rolled and put his captive into a triangle hold so he could reload the rifle.
Managing to lock in the mag before more could arrive he quickly shot down the two men who turned the corner before scrambling to his feet and finishing off the man he had pinned. Seeing some of the enemies moving around in an effort to stand up he put a round into each of their heads before running off. Running through a tunnel he quickly turned and injured two men who had run after him before his gun clicked empty. Bracing his back against the wall he pulled out his pistol and finished off the two in front and put two rounds into the third who appeared shortly after. Throwing the spent mag away he quickly loaded another just in time to gun down two more as he made his way closer to his goal.
"Just how many goons does this guy have?" Qrow muttered
"Quantity is a quality of its own" Raven quoted with a smug grin
"I'm still mopping the floor with them" Qrow muttered petulantly
"As you should, they're not even worth giving names to" Raven countered simply. "However, if enough mooks are involved eventually you would fall, if only to exhaustion," Qrow grumbled but didn't reply
Qrow glared as he was forced to dive into a divot in the ground for cover before gunning down the two behind him. letting out a shout of pain as a round struck him in the back though the armor within his suit held up just fine. Working quickly he quickly shot down any enemies around him before rolling past an opening and managing to locate more targets as he quickly gunned them down as his gun clicked once more. Checking the mag he gave up and threw the gun at the nearest enemy before pulling out his pistol and dropping them.
Checking the corner to gauge how much time he had he quickly reached up and pulled out the Benelli shotgun and ammo belt. he quickly looped the belt around his waist and double-checked to make sure it was secure. Once he was ready he stepped out and quickly unloaded multiple shells into the three targets approaching his previous cover. Seeing a lull he started to load some more shells pausing briefly to whip out his sidearm as someone managed to locate him during the reload. throwing himself against the wall he chambered the next shell and blew out an enemy's kneecap before turning on two pursuers and shooting them both in the chest. Finishing off the one still on his feet he turned and killed the first target before swinging on the last one only for his gun to jam. Slamming the barrel into the man's chest he forced him to the ground with his weight behind the gun as he quickly fixed the jam and finished the enemy off.
"Why is he going for their legs so much with the shotgun?" Jaune asked curiously
"Shotguns typically have lower penetration than traditional firearms. Lots of impact damage but low piercing damage" Ruby explained simply. "Especially if they have the armored linings like uncle Qrow does then going for the clearly unarmored areas is just more efficient."
Qrow nodded his head "The first shot is more to remove the immediate threat so that he can assess the situation and respond to other active combatants in the area first. It's not showing it, but his ears are probably fine-tuned to all the movement around him and the weapons in their hands you'll notice that he's going for whoever presents the largest threat at the given moment and finishing off any stragglers when he has time to do so.
"Oh" Jaune gulped "That seems kind of... brutal"
"You don't pick a shotgun for clean kills"
As Qrow neared the exit he noted an enemy nearby and shot at their exposed foot staggering them before grabbing their arm and flipping them onto the floor. Rolling with the momentum he quickly took down two more goons before finishing off the first. Loading the final shells into the gun, Qrow peeked around the corner only to pull back as someone opened fire on him. When the shooting stopped he swung out and put one shell into the enemy's shoulder and a second into his stomach before putting one shell each into the next two attackers using the last two on a fourth attacker Qrow threw the shotgun away before pulling his pistol out and finishing off the last enemy and making his way out of the catacombs.
"Well," Yang muttered as she leaned back in her chair. "That was a rush"
"YEAH, MY BLOOD IS PUMPING!" Nora cheered as she shot to her feet. "You're so cool, Mr. Branwen!"
"Heh" Qrow rubbed his nose slightly embarrassed despite himself.
Raven snorted and rolled her eyes "Only impressive because Aura isn't a thing here" she stated getting an eye roll from her brother and daughter
"Alright then, Sis, why don't you pick our next one then?" Qrow challenged with a smirk.
Raven snorted "Fine then, don't come crying to me when my selection is the best of the day"

Gianna D'Antonio - Winter Schnee
The Sommelier - Hei 'Junior' Xiong

Alright, everyone, I am open to suggestions for whatever we're going to do for Raven's turn. The only criteria I have for this is if it's from a show/movie/game/etc. you tell me a specific moment so I can look it up.
I would prefer that whatever we end up picking focuses on a character that Raven can identify with either in philosophy, situation, abilities, or even appearances. That being said, if it sounds funny enough we can go the opposite direction and go for something that is so NOT Raven that she would leave the room in disgust if she saw it.
