Ruby: Nooo!
Yang: Well, Weiss, it's your turn.
Weiss: I have... absolutely no idea what's going on.
Yang slides up beside her and puts her hand on her shoulder.
Yang: Look, it's easy! You're playing as Vacuo which means that all Vacuo-based cards come with a bonus.
Weiss: That sounds dumb.
Yang starts looking through Weiss' cards.
Yang: See, you've got Sandstorm, Desert Scavenge... Oh, oh!
Yang pulls up a card to show Weiss.
Yang: Resourceful Raider! See, now you can take Ruby's discarded Air Fleet—
Ruby: (crying) Nooo!
Yang: —and put it in your hand!
Weiss: Okay.
Yang: And since Vacuo warriors have an endurance against Natural-based hazards, you can use Sandstorm to disable my ground forces and simultaneously infiltrate my kingdom!
Yang points a finger at Weiss.
Yang: Just know that I will not forget this declaration of war.
Yang pulls away and returns to her seat.
Weiss: And that means...
Ruby: You're just three moves away from conquering Remnant!
Weiss stands and a thunder clap accompanies Weiss' overjoyed psychotic laughter.
Weiss: Y-yes! Fear the almighty power of my forces! Cower as they pillage your homes and weep as they take your children from your very arms!
Yang: Trap card...
Yang's arm appears holding the card.
Weiss: Huh?
Yang shuffles the pieces on the board, Weiss' pieces disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Yang: Your armies have been destroyed.
Weiss slumps in her chair, cries and whines.
Weiss: I hate this game of emotions we play!
Ruby hops into Weiss' lap.
Ruby: Stay strong, Weiss! We'll make it through this together!
Weiss: Shut up!
Weiss hugs Ruby.
Weiss: Don't touch me!
Yang is putting her arms up behind her head.
Yang: Alright Blake, you're up!
Blake: Oh, um, sorry, what am I doing?
Yang: You're playing as Vale, trying to conquer the Kingdoms of Remnant!
Blake: Right.
Jaune is approaching the table.
Jaune: Hey! Can I play?
Ruby: Sorry Jaune, we've already got 4 people.
Weiss: Besides, this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt that you possess.
Yang: Uhh, you attacked your own naval fleet 2 turns ago.
Weiss makes an annoyed sound.
Jaune: Bring it on, Ice Queen! I'll have you know that I have been told that I am a natural born leader!
Weiss: By who? Your mother?
Jaune: A-and Pyrrha!
Pyrrha: (waving) Hello again!
Habib: (quietly) Huh?
Pyrrha: Go back to sleep darling.
Habib: (quietly) Okay.
Habib goes back to sleep.
Jaune starts begging with both hands folded together.
Jaune: Come on, let me play your hand for a turn!
Weiss: I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo!
Jaune: Why not? You've trusted me with way more important stuff before. I mean, you told us all that Blake is secretly a Fa-
Pyrrha darts over and slaps a hand over Jaune's mouth. Habib's head hits the table.
Pyrrha: Fun-loving person, whom we all admire and respect.
Habib: Ow.
Pyrrha: (worried) I'm sorry darling.
Jaune laughs nervously. Everyone looks nervously at Blake who looks obviously annoyed that her secret is out.
Jaune: Right. That. Ladies, enjoy your battle.
Jaune bows as Pyrrha walks away to take care of her injured boyfriend. Footsteps can be heard coming to team RWBY.
Sun: Sup losers.
Sun appears holding his fingers in a "peace" sign.
Ruby: Hey Sun!
Neptune is next to Sun.
Sun: Ruby, Yang, Blake... Ice Queen.
Weiss: Why does everyone keep calling me that?
Sun: I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend.
Neptune: Uhh, aren't libraries for reading?
Ren is throwing his arms up.
Ren: Thank you!
Nora popped her head up.
Nora: Pancakes!
Sun: Shut up. Don't be a nerd.
Neptune is shaking a finger at Sun.
Geh, geh, geh, geh! "Intellectual", okay? Thank you. (waving) I'm Neptune.
Weiss: So Neptune, where are you from?
Neptune: Haven.
Neptune approaches Weiss.
Neptune: And I don't believe I've caught your name, snow angel.
Weiss: Um, I'm Weiss.
Jaune: Are you kidding me!?
Neptune: Pleasure to meet you.
Sun: (to Blake) I never took you as the board game playing type.
As she speaks, she shoves Sun aside and leaves the room.
Blake: Right, well, I think I'm done playing actually. I'll see you guys later.
Nora: (shrugs) Women.
Pyrrha: Come on (Y,N), I'm taking you to the nurse.
Habib: But Pyrrha I'm fine.
Pyrrha starts dragging her boyfriend to the nurse. The night sky is seen through the window over to Blake as she sits with her knees folded to her chest on her bed. Voices can be heard echoing in her head.
Flashback
Blake: Brothers of the White Fang, why are you aiding this scum?
Roman: The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together.
The sounds of battle including slashes, grunts, gunfire, and Torchwick's laughter.
Ozpin: Well, this has certainly been an eventful evening.
Blake: Hmph.
The scene shifts to show that Blake is sitting in an interviewing office as Ozpin enters. Blake quietly acknowledges his statement.
Ozpin: I'm sure that after a night of trying to stop a robbery, you probably just want to go home and take a nap. But, I was hoping that maybe we could have a chance to talk.
Blake: Of course.
Ozpin: Wonderful. As you know, in order to enroll at my academy, students must first pass a rigorous entrance exam. Most applicants spend years of preparation training at one of the many combat schools around the world. You are one of the few that did not. And you passed the exam with flying colors.
Blake: I was raised outside the kingdoms. If you can't fight, you can't survive.
Ozpin: Well, you have most certainly survived, Blake. I admire your drive. And I am proud to run a school that accepts individuals from all walks of life. Rich, poor, Human... (Sips his coffee.) Faunus...
Blake glares at him.
Ozpin: Why do you wear that bow, Blake? Why hide who you are?
Blake: You may be willing to accept the Faunus, Professor Ozpin, but your species is not.
Ozpin: True, but we are continuing to take strides to lessen the divide.
Blake: With all due respect, you need to start taking some larger strides. Until then, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention. I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am.
Ozpin: And what are you?
Blake: I don't understand what you're asking.
Ozpin: How did you know the White Fang would be at the shipyard tonight?
Blake: I didn't. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Ozpin: You wouldn't have been the first. But what happened tonight was not an isolated incident. I may be your headmaster, but I am also a Huntsman, and it is my sworn duty to protect this world from the forces that conspire against it. Blake, are you sure there is nothing else you would like to tell me?
Blake: I'm sure.
Ozpin: Very well. Thank you for your time, Ms. Belladonna.
Ozpin stands and heads to the door. He stops and turns to Blake.
Ozpin: If you ever need to talk to me. Please, don't hesitate to ask.
Ozpin shuts the door behind him.
