Friends With Benefits.

Ruby can be seen skipping across the hallway of the school dormitory like something good just happened to her. When she reaches the door to her dorm room she's suddenly subjected to the sight of her team mates sitting in a chair staring at her.

Ruby: So... I take it there's no actual PlayStation 5 waiting for me? 😢

Yang: Rubes... We need to have a talk.

Ruby: If it's about where baby comes from I already know about it. 😤

Weiss: Not "The talk" You dolt. A talk. By that we need to talk about the Goliath in the room.

Blake: Ruby this is an intervention. We're of course talking about your relationship with Jaune. Or more precisely how your relationship with him have affected everyone's performance.

Yang: You are spending more time with him than you do with your own team.

Blake: It actually starts affecting our performance in the field.

Weiss: Take the hint Ruby.

Ruby: Are you telling me to break up with him? 🥺

Yang: That's not what we... Look. We not asking you to break up with him just don't spend as much time with him that's all.

Ruby: That's the same thing! If I can't spend as many time with Jaune as I can that pretty much the same as telling me to break up with him. 😣

Weiss: Don't be so dramatic. A boy like him is just a dime a dozen. You can find much better boy for you to date.

Ruby: Say that again you ice bitch! 😡

Weiss: EXCUSE ME?!!

Yang: What's gotten into you?

Blake: Weiss maybe out of line. But you shouldn't say such a thing.

Ruby: No you listen! You all are essentially asking me to stop seeing Jaune. Ask yourself this. Where do you think I'm going to find a boyfriend as perfect as Jaune Arc ever again? 😠

Weiss: *scoffs* Hah! Jaune. Perfect? Hate to break it up to you sis, but he's not sharpest sword in the armory if you catch my drift.

Ruby: He's always nice to me, he never makes fun of me, he likes my friends, we share the same hobby and he's loyal. 🧐

Blake: And he helped me out a lot. He's selfless, he doesn't treat Faunus differently.

Yang: And he has a big dick...

Blake: ....

Weiss: ....

Ruby: .... Wait. How do you know about that? 👀

Yang: I asked around. A girl have her ways. Let's just leave it at that. You're right sis. There is no way you can do better than Jaune. He is literally the perfect boyfriend for you.

Weiss: I can't believe this... Are we going to let her still see Jaune?

Ruby: Suck it Weiss. There's no sinking the Lancaster ship.

Weiss: Why you little...

Then suddenly the door to their room burst open revealing Jaune. Who heard everything that just happened.

Jaune: Ruby is it true that I'm a being a bother for your teams?

Blake: Of course.

Yang: Totally. Which is a lot more than usual for some reason.

Weiss: Do you even need to ask?

Ruby: (Don't bully my man. 😖) O-of course not what makes you think that? 😅

Jaune: T-then I have to apologize in advance but I think we need to spend some time away from each other.

Ruby: No don't say so, Jaune. 😫

Jaune: I'm sorry Ruby. But we can still see each other from time to time.

Ruby: But then I'm not going to be able to spend as much time and doing other stuff with you. 😞

Jaune: That's okay Ruby. I'll just ask Pyrrha to take your place.

Weiss: WTF!

Blake: 🙀

Yang: Oh no you don't you blonde haired slut! Not only you laid your hand on my little sister. But you also laid your hand on Pyrrha?

Weiss: You dirty, you filth, you perverted bastard! I thought better of you Arc. And you telling me you had your way with both Ruby and Pyrrha?!

Blake: ménage à trois...

Jaune: What? No! What are you saying? I'm not doing such a thing with both of them.

Weiss: Stop lying Arc! We have ears. You're Ruby's boyfriend and yet you have no problem casting her aside for Pyrrha.

Yang: Damn it Vomit Boy. You though you know a person. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Pyrrha. But you shouldn't just discard my sister like a tissue you used to relieve yourself.

Blake: *wipes nose* That's right Jaune you shouldn't just discard Ruby for Pyrrha like that. You should let her join you...

Ruby: Well I'm not against such a thing if you want it Jaune. 😌

Jaune: What! I didn't do any of what you suggested with her or with Pyrrha! And another things I'm not Ruby's boyfriend.

Ruby: 🥶

Weiss: Wait you're not? But Ruby kept saying you're her boyfriend.

Yang: Yeah that's why you and Ruby kept disappearing on us. Also did you at least use protection if you do? I don't want to be an aunt yet.

Blake: (Oh no. My ship)

Jaune: No, no! Ruby just help me out with my training that's all! We're just good friend that's all.

Yang: Wait that's it? I thought you and Ruby are... You know... Bumping ugly with one another?

Jaune: No Yang... For the last time. Ruby and I are nothing like that. And beside she's far too young for such a thing.

Ruby: Only by two years! You're a jerk Jaune. Even though I help with your training this is the thanks I get. Well screw you. I don't care about you anymore! 😭 *runs away from the room*

Jaune: Wait Ruby!

Yang: Uh oh vomit boy. Messed up again.

Weiss: What a scum. Playing with a maiden's heart like that.

Blake: What are you waiting for! Go after her and apologize to her immediately!

Jaune: Oh right. I'm sorry for everything. I'll try my best to get Ruby back. *runs up after Ruby*

Weiss: He's soooo going to get sliced in half by Ruby.

Yang: That or the two will finally gets laid. Either way we solves our problems. Probably. I just hope Jaune used protection.

Weiss: I just hope Ruby go easy on him a little. I mean he's an oblivious jerk and all but he doesn't deserve getting cut in half.

Blake: (Godspeed Jaune. Go to your true love. Go to Ruby's side. Go and declare your love for her and apologize with all your heart.)

Meanwhile in the academy's corridor Jaune can be seen chasing after Ruby.

Jaune: Wait Ruby! Please you have to stop and let me explain.

Ruby: 😭😭😭 Shut up Jaune! I don't want to hear more of your lies. You're a jerk for taking advantages of me! Do our time together meant nothing to you? 😭😭😭

Jaune: Please Ruby don't say things that can be misunderstood by other people

Ruby: 😭😭😭 How could you dumped me for Pyrrha even after I let you played around with my body Jaune!

What Ruby said caught the attention of students and passerby that watches the scene of Jaune chasing Ruby. This led to murmur of discussion and accusation on the the relationship between the two of them.

???: Jaune cheated on Ruby with Pyrrha?

???: Can't believe that Jaune Arc is a fuccboi.

???: Wait isn’t she’s underage. Shouldn't someone call the cops?

???: OMG he’s a pedophile!

???: So he’s not only a cheating scumbag but he’s also a pedophile.

???: He’s the worst.

???: I hope someone punch him in the nuts.

??? : That Arc character is such a PoS.

Cardin: I always knew there's something wrong with that guy.

Velvet: Wait Ruby and Jaune are breaking up? That means there's now a chance for me to be his girlfriend!

When Jaune heard all the hurtful words everyone said to him. He can't help but to feel his chest tighten and his heart felt like it was torn to shred after hearing them. But right now he didn't care about it. Especially not when Ruby is probably more hurt right now than he is.

Jaune: Ruby please wait I want to aplogize.

Ruby:😭😭😭 No I don't believe you! 😭😭😭

She then used her Semblance to run away even faster from Jaune. Leaving him with just her petals of roses and the glare of the other students. Ruby Rose soon found herself outside the Academy ground under a fairly large tree.

Ruby: Stupid Jaune... No, not Jaune. But stupid me. Why did I have to run away like that from him... Oh no Jaune's going to hate me now. 😞

Jaune: Ruby I found you. *panting* I'm sorry Ruby but please let me catch my breath all right.

Ruby: Jaune. How did you find me? 😕

Jaune: Oh. I just followed the rose petals all the way here.

Ruby: Darn it. I mean. I'm glad to see you here Jaune. Because I want to say something to you. 😣

Jaune: So do I and I wanted to say I'm sorry if I offended you or anything.

Ruby: Jaune I'm sorry too for calling you stupid and accusing you in front of everyone like that. ☹️

Jaune: Hey it's no big deal. I'm already like, the worst student in Beacon. It's not like my reputation can get any lower. And Ruby before I forget why do you tell your team that I'm your boyfriend?

Ruby: (Here goes. 😔) Because I like you Jaune...

Jaune: Wait you serious?! Like as in regular like or is it like, like?

Ruby: Like as in I love you Jaune... ❤

Jaune: Ruby... I didn't know. I'm so sorry.

Ruby: Don't be Jaune. It's all my fault. I was so happy you pick me as your training partner I just took it as a chance for me to tell everyone that you're my boyfriend.🥺

Jaune: That still doesn't answer my question though. Why do you pick me of all person?

Ruby: I had a crush on you since the first time I met you. And I guess I said that you were my boyfriend so other people can't asks you to be theirs. 😓

Jaune: Ha, ha, ha. Good one Ruby. I mean this me we're talking about. There's no way anyone will ask me to be their boyfriend.

Ruby: (Oh how wrong you are Jaune. If I didn't stake my claim first. All those hyenas will swarm around you. And those that don't. Is just going to find out how much of a catch you are. But then again you being oblivious is just another part I like about you 🤭) You maybe right Jaune. 😙

Jaune: So what happens now?

Ruby: Jaune would you like to be my boyfriend? For real this time. ☺

Jaune: Ru-Ruby I. I want to give you an answer. But I can't because. I still don't know my own feelings for you yet. M-maybe we could start by being a friend first and then let's see where it will take us.

Ruby: Yeah!... Wait. But we're already friend? 🤨

Jaune: Oh right. How about best friend?

Ruby: We already one too. 😑

Jaune: Oh this is hard. What is below being a couple but above being best friends?

Ruby: Hmmm... How about "Friend with Benefits?" 😇

Jaune: Sounds fancy what is that Ruby?

Ruby: I don't know I just heard it from Yang. I think it meant friend that also enjoys the benefits of being a couple. 🤓

Jaune: Oh you mean like going on a date or holding hands like that sorts of thing?

Ruby: I think so and I heard it also included headpat and kisses. 😘

Jaune: Do you want to be headpatted?

Ruby: Do the Schnee corporation engages in unfair labor practices? Also don't forget the kiss please. 💋

Jaune: I take it as yes then, but no kissing and not on the lips. Not yet anyway. We are just friends with benefits after all. And not yet boyfriend and girlfriend yet. *headpats Ruby*

Ruby: Oh yeah that's the stuff.... 🤤

Jaune: Ah what the heck. *kiss Ruby in the forehead*

Ruby: *brain .exe stops working* 😮

Jaune: ... We should go back. *hides blush*

Ruby: *shook head* Wait up for me Jaune!

Out of the Frying pan… AND into the Icebox... Escape Plan!

[ Original Post ]

Feeling Joan start to sob next to her broke Pyrrha out of her own worries about fans or even the looming threat of the Schnee women shattering Joan's innocence. For Joan, Pyrrha would move heaven and earth... no she would walk through the fiery gates of hell... no she would walk naked through Forever Fall covered in red sap!

Pyrrha: (Whispering) Joan, sweetie I need you to be brave, okay. I'm going to get us out of this. Can you do that for me?

Joan: (Whispering/Sobbing) Okay. How?

Pyrrha: (Whispering) I'm going to stop the car with my semblance and then take that little bitch hostage. It's going to be scary, but I need you to be brave.

Joan nods, and sniffles, which makes Pyrrha give Joan a light squeeze, before turning her full attention on the white haired teen seated across from her, and Joan.

Pyrrha: Whitley was it?

Whitley: Please don't. I heard you. You do understand I'm like two feet away, and you really did whisper that well.

Pyrrha: Well if you know what I'm planning to do then you know I am capable of doing it!

Whitley: Just please don't. Enjoy the car ride. I can promise you, you'll have other chances to escape.

Pyrrha: Huh?

Whitley: What you thought this was the end of it? Yes I tricked you into the car, and yes I'm trying to civilly not have an altercation, but we still have to move you from the car to the air-shuttle. There's a chance right there... which I would like to say wouldn't wreck a perfectly good vehicle, or endanger civilians needlessly.

Pyrrha: (Blinks)

Whitley: If you choose to ignore that possibility , there is also the NEED to wait on my mother, Winter and Weiss to show up. That's a great opportunity, getting away while people are tired and bored.

Pyrrha: (Blinks)

Whitley: There is also the flight back to Atlas. You and Ms Arc are Huntresses-in-training... which means you can easily leap out and use a landing strategy at the beginning of the flight.

Pyrrha: (Blinks)

Whitley: The jumping out of the air-shuttle is the most dramatic, but it would be the last real chance to escape. Once we're at cruising altitude, or reach Atlas... chances are pretty slim there.

Pyrrha: (Blinks)

Joan: (Sniffles) Which point would you recommend?

Whitley: I would suggest when we reach the airport and have to move you from the car to the air-shuttle.

Joan: (Sniffles) I can see it. Limited personnel large open area monitored and viewed area... access to the airport terminal to facilitate vanishing into the crowd.

Pyrrha: (Blinks)

Whitley: Exactly, and to be honest it would be the most safe and civil location. No civilians that could be caught in an accident if this car was to suddenly stop in the middle of the street.

Joan: (Sniffles) And we wouldn't risk others by jumping out into oncoming traffic.

Pyrrha: (Blinks)

Whitley: Exactly. Would you like a tissue? (Offers a box of tissues to Joan)

Joan: (Takes one) Thank you.

Whitley: You're welcome. We should be only another twenty minutes until we reach the airport... would either of you like some water? Maybe some fruit juice?

Joan: I'll have...

Pyrrha: He's a Schnee! He's the enemy Joan! (Lunges for Whitley) Where getting out of here now... URK!

Pyrrha, collapses to floor of the car twitching. As Whitley turns off his taser.

Joan: Pyrrha!

Whitley: I did politely ask her not to. (Sighs) Well this complicates things. Do you think you would by chance be able to carry her during your escape attempt?

Joan: I could try? How long will she be out?

Whitley: Ten minutes, give or take... though when she wakes up she will have some trouble coordinating her limbs.

Joan: Umm... just a thought do you think there might possibly be a forgotten luggage cart near where we will be transferred from the car to the air-shuttle?

Whitley: It's possible. What are you thinking, putting her into a cart and making a dash for the main terminal?

Joan: Considering it.

Whitley: It has it's merits.

Joan: As long as I don't get one with a wonky wheel... but I always get the one with the wonky wheel.

Whitley: Yes that could be a complication. Would you like more time to consider your options? I can ask Klein to take a detour... you know how unreliable traffic reports are.

Joan: That would be lovely. Thank you. May I still have a water?

Whitley: Certainly.

(Sorry... I just couldn't resist Whitley being overly civil and openly discussing escape options with Pyrrha and Joan... and YES Pyrrha could have easily stopped the car and used it to open a can-o-whoop-ass on Whitley and Klein... I think is a little more entertaining/ridiculous.)

So here are some thoughts I've had regarding Ironwood pre Volume 5.

First of all, I personally disagree when people defending him call him disabled; losing literally half of your body and needing robotic replacements is more akin to life support, in my own opinion.

Secondly - and this ties back to the above comment - I think it's probably safe to assume that Ironwood can't have children. Again, my guy is missing HALF of his body, in an almost complete vertical angle. That's gotta have consequences, not to mention probably leaves him occasionally envious of male characters who are fathers.

And third, I actually like the scene in Vol. 4 where Weiss walks in on Jacques and Ironwood's argument. Now while I do like your plans for Jacques, I also think people overlook Ironwood's offer to let Weiss enroll at Atlas Academy. I know people will probably paint it as him being arrogant or the like, but listening to his offer, it's clearly Ironwood giving Weiss an escape route from her father if she chooses to accept.

Sorry, I've just been thinking about Ironwood a lot, and I felt like sharing my musings with you.

My theory is he lost his arm and leg while half of his toros is encased in some kind of life support shell due to damaged tissue, its the only way it makes it plausible he survived with half of his body replaced with machine.

Now how much *ahem* 'down there' is damaged is up to determination, but it would explain his fraternal instinct towards his students and his envy. Personally Im not gonna do that to him in this AU, but like many in my AUs, he's had high hopes about his future, notably promising Glynda he would marry her back in their school days at Atlas Academy, but now he feels like that's in the way of "the greater good" as his higher ups love to lecture him and others about.

But yeah, I really like James and it boils my blood what they had done to him with no end.

Unlocking mRNA’s cancer-fighting potential

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/unlocking-mrnas-cancer-fighting-potential/

Unlocking mRNA’s cancer-fighting potential

What if training your immune system to attack cancer cells was as easy as training it to fight Covid-19? Many people believe the technology behind some Covid-19 vaccines, messenger RNA, holds great promise for stimulating immune responses to cancer.

But using messenger RNA, or mRNA, to get the immune system to mount a prolonged and aggressive attack on cancer cells — while leaving healthy cells alone — has been a major challenge.

The MIT spinout Strand Therapeutics is attempting to solve that problem with an advanced class of mRNA molecules that are designed to sense what type of cells they encounter in the body and to express therapeutic proteins only once they have entered diseased cells.

“It’s about finding ways to deal with the signal-to-noise ratio, the signal being expression in the target tissue and the noise being expression in the nontarget tissue,” Strand CEO Jacob Becraft PhD ’19 explains. “Our technology amplifies the signal to express more proteins for longer while at the same time effectively eliminating the mRNA’s off-target expression.”

Strand is set to begin its first clinical trial in April, which is testing a proprietary, self-replicating mRNA molecule’s ability to express immune signals directly from a tumor, eliciting the immune system to attack and kill the tumor cells directly. It’s also being tested as a possible improvement for existing treatments to a number of solid tumors.

As they work to commercialize its early innovations, Strand’s team is continuing to add capabilities to what it calls its “programmable medicines,” improving mRNA molecules’ ability to sense their environment and generate potent, targeted responses where they’re needed most.

“Self-replicating mRNA was the first thing that we pioneered when we were at MIT and in the first couple years at Strand,” Becraft says. “Now we’ve also moved into approaches like circular mRNAs, which allow each molecule of mRNA to express more of a protein for longer, potentially for weeks at a time. And the bigger our cell-type specific datasets become, the better we are at differentiating cell types, which makes these molecules so targeted we can have a higher level of safety at higher doses and create stronger treatments.”

Making mRNA smarter

Becraft got his first taste of MIT as an undergraduate at the University of Illinois when he secured a summer internship in the lab of MIT Institute Professor Bob Langer.

“That’s where I learned how lab research could be translated into spinout companies,” Becraft recalls.

The experience left enough of an impression on Becraft that he returned to MIT the next fall to earn his PhD, where he worked in the Synthetic Biology Center under professor of bioengineering and electrical engineering and computer science Ron Weiss. During that time, he collaborated with postdoc Tasuku Kitada to create genetic “switches” that could control protein expression in cells.

Becraft and Kitada realized their research could be the foundation of a company around 2017 and started spending time in the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. They also received support from MIT Sandbox and eventually worked with the Technology Licensing Office to establish Strand’s early intellectual property.

“We started by asking, where is the highest unmet need that also allows us to prove out the thesis of this technology? And where will this approach have therapeutic relevance that is a quantum leap forward from what anyone else is doing?” Becraft says. “The first place we looked was oncology.”

People have been working on cancer immunotherapy, which turns a patient’s immune system against cancer cells, for decades. Scientists in the field have developed drugs that produce some remarkable results in patients with aggressive, late-stage cancers. But most next-generation cancer immunotherapies are based on recombinant (lab-made) proteins that are difficult to deliver to specific targets in the body and don’t remain active for long enough to consistently create a durable response.

More recently, companies like Moderna, whose founders also include MIT alumni, have pioneered the use of mRNAs to create proteins in cells. But to date, those mRNA molecules have not been able to change behavior based on the type of cells they enter, and don’t last for very long in the body.

“If you’re trying to engage the immune system with a tumor cell, the mRNA needs to be expressing from the tumor cell itself, and it needs to be expressing over a long period of time,” Becraft says. “Those challenges are hard to overcome with the first generation of mRNA technologies.”

Strand has developed what it calls the world’s first mRNA programming language that allows the company to specify the tissues its mRNAs express proteins in.

“We built a database that says, ‘Here are all of the different cells that the mRNA could be delivered to, and here are all of their microRNA signatures,’ and then we use computational tools and machine learning to differentiate the cells,” Becraft explains. “For instance, I need to make sure that the messenger RNA turns off when it’s in the liver cell, and I need to make sure that it turns on when it’s in a tumor cell or a T-cell.”

Strand also uses techniques like mRNA self-replication to create more durable protein expression and immune responses.

“The first versions of mRNA therapeutics, like the Covid-19 vaccines, just recapitulate how our body’s natural mRNAs work,” Becraft explains. “Natural mRNAs last for a few days, maybe less, and they express a single protein. They have no context-dependent actions. That means wherever the mRNA is delivered, it’s only going to express a molecule for a short period of time. That’s perfect for a vaccine, but it’s much more limiting when you want to create a protein that’s actually engaging in a biological process, like activating an immune response against a tumor that could take many days or weeks.”

Technology with broad potential

Strand’s first clinical trial is targeting solid tumors like melanoma and triple-negative breast cancer. The company is also actively developing mRNA therapies that could be used to treat blood cancers.

“We’ll be expanding into new areas as we continue to de-risk the translation of the science and create new technologies,” Becraft says.

Strand plans to partner with large pharmaceutical companies as well as investors to continue developing drugs. Further down the line, the founders believe future versions of its mRNA therapies could be used to treat a broad range of diseases.

“Our thesis is: amplified expression in specific, programmed target cells for long periods of time,” Becraft says. “That approach can be utilized for [immunotherapies like] CAR T-cell therapy, both in oncology and autoimmune conditions. There are also many diseases that require cell-type specific delivery and expression of proteins in treatment, everything from kidney disease to types of liver disease. We can envision our technology being used for all of that.”

Weiss, peeking into her sister’s office: Heyyy Winter, I have a favour to ask

Winter: Hmm? Oh hey, Weiss, I thought you had a meeting?

Weiss: I do but it’s with someone I don’t care about and I have a question to ask you about?

Winter: Oh, well then come in

Weiss, heaving a heavy cardboard box: You need to stop gifting CDs and DVDs to Ruby and I

Winter: O-oh.. Do you not have the same taste I thought you did? I was under the impression you still liked the Achieve Men-

Weiss: We do! Well, Ruby does. No, we don’t own a dvd or cd player. Haven’t for 4 years.

Winter, being struck with the pain of time: Pen hits desk

Weiss: And Cinder is in your office entryway here scaring your receptionist

Winter: S-s-send her in

Weiss, outside: She may need tissues, I think she’s crying

Cinder: Normal Thursday then?

Recovery

[Post Twin Snowflakes Finale]

About three months after the blizzard crisis in Atlas, life had gotten back on track for the citizens of Atlas. School was back in session, buildings completely repaired, and new ways of life had begun to feel normal for the heroes most involved with the Shiva catastrophe. However, a new predicament poked its head out at the worst of times. A challenge Summer had not prepared for; common sickness.

“ACHOOOO!” Sneezed the sniffling girl who laid on the couch under covers. “I think I’m actually dying this time guys. Nick, I’m sorry for everything.”

The elder twin blinked slowly as he looked down at his sister. “ It’s the common cold. Shut up.” He dropped a box of tissues on her lap.

“There’s nothing common about this cold. I swear this is somehow Shiva’s last laugh.”

Her dramatic antics were ignored by her brother as he walked over to their family. He had gotten really good at that. Then again, they were dealing with a slight issue. All of them were dressed elegantly for a gala event in honor of Atlas’s restoration. Normally they wouldn’t all entertain something like this, the gathering doubled as an award ceremony. With how many of them contributed in Atlas’s time of need, attendance was all but mandatory as well as a smart way to show things are in fact going smoothly. Naturally, Summer didn’t receive an invitation for any noteworthy contribution but was invited out of principle. Now she couldn’t even show up at all!

“Nick, why are you even going?” Summer groaned. “You’re not getting an award. As far as the public is concerned, there was no grand life or death battle. You were in the hospital.”

“That’s exactly why I’m going. This event is televised and since school and other activities are just starting again it’s not like anyone really knows how well I’m doing these days. I wouldn’t be surprised if people thought I was dying if I didn't show myself tonight.”

Summer pouted. “Hmm, kinda sounds like you don’t want to hang out with me?”

“That too. Being sick sucks.”

Well at least he was honest with her. Summer looked at Valerie getting dolled up by her parents while Winter straightened Sparrow’s tie.

“And why is he going exactly?”

“I still miss him.” Winter said bluntly, reaching for Qrow’s arm. “Miss this idiot too.”

“We love you too.” They said in perfect unison.

Summer looked at Ruby helping Ruth put on her sparkly shoes while Whitley fixed Ruby’s hair. No point or desire to nag the new family. Summer was more jealous how Ruth looked excited about the whole thing. Galas are kinda slow for the most part but watching Ruth get excited made Summer wish she was going.

Weiss came by and gave her daughter an extra pillow. “How are you holding up?”

“My bones ache…”

“Sounds about right. It’s been so long since you’ve been sick that I didn’t realize it was possible.”

“You and I both. Look, I know it’s actually not that big of a deal illness wise, but I’m seriously going to be left here watching you guys on tv?” Summer pouted.

Jaune kinda laughed to himself. Looks like Summer was just as needy as Weiss whenever she got sick. “We will try to be back as soon as possible.” He said with a smile. “Besides, you won’t be completely alone.”

As he said that, a knock came from the front door. Ruby dashed over to open it and let her fellow teammates in.

“Look who finally showed up!” Ruby teased.

Yang flicked her sister’s forehead “Hey! We don’t control the weather. We flew as quickly as possible. Well, most of us.”

Penny came darting in all dolled up for the event. “I didn’t want to ruin the dress.” She said, quickly hugging everyone before speeding towards the living room to see Summer. “Salutations!”

“Well, well, well.” Summer squinted. “If it isn’t my doctor who left me to wolves! I presume the other runaway has joined you?”

Oscar came walking in casually. “Yep. Good to see you Summer. It’s been awhile.”

“Didn’t have to be. Can you imagine my surprise when I came home asking if your flight landed, just to be told you didn’t get off!?”

“Hehehe…” He rubbed the back of his neck. “I did, technically. I had to get clothes.”

“Blake me.” Penny said. “I was concerned that the altitude might harm Veronica’s ears, considering they were still injured at the time. I wasn’t about to leave Oscar so I asked him to make a round trip.”

“A round tr- ya stayed!”

“Well we weren’t expecting Veronica to ask for therapy and further medical attention! Also it’s not like we don’t video call you for your scheduled appointments.”

Summer puffed her cheeks out. She wasn’t actually upset at anyone. It was just so unbelievable that within the hour of her telling Veronica to seek professional help, the girl pouched both therapist and doctor from under Summer’s nose.

“Speaking of the thief, how is she?”

An extra pair of footsteps came walking up from behind the couch. “The thief can hear you.”

Summer looked up to the faunus girl staring down at her. Veronica gave a rigid wave then walked over to the other couch to lay on it. Unlike the others, Veronica was dressed in her normal clothes.

“That’s a little casual for a gala, don’t you think?”

“Yeah. Good thing I’m not going?”

“Excuse me?” Summer said quickly, looking at Weiss.

“Veronica volunteered to look after you while we’re out. Hopefully this event won’t drag out.”

Penny did a quick scan of Summer’s vitals. “Hmm, even if it does she’ll be fine. It’s a little funny how your slight fever is the normal temperature of a person. You have nothing to worry about. It’s accumulating by the looks of it.”

“Cool.” Summer said not really concerned about that at all as she looked at Veronica. “You volunteered?” She didn’t get a verbal answer. Only a thumbs up.

Weiss gave Summer a kiss in the head and proceeded to leave along with everyone else. “Veronica, call if you need anything.”

“Yes ma’am.” As everyone left, Nick turned towards her to give a smile and wave as he exited. Such a little gesture brought a small smile to Veronica’s face. She put her attention on Summer and stood up. “Need anything?”

“Yeah, an answer. Why aren’t you going with them? If I got an invite then you had to.”

“I did, but it was customary.”

“What? But…you helped dozens. You’re not getting an award?”

“Nope. It’s not like dust infused clothes didn’t exist before I made more, or as if people really knew I was making more. I stayed in my little workshop so often. Even I don’t know if everything I made actually functioned as intended; nor would people tell the difference if they were layered up. Aside from the things I made for our family, that is. My crowning moments are in the final fight which as far as the public is aware, never happened.”

“That’s…I’m sorry to hear that. You worked so hard.”

“Eh. Can’t say I care too much. Not like I wanted to give a speech or anything. The crowd wouldn’t take too kindly to that anyways if you ask me.”

“Still…” Summer frowned, “You deserve recognition.”

Veronica went silent for a moment. All she could do was shrug, choosing not to think about it too much. It is what it is after all.

“How are your ears?” Summer asked, noticing them. They looked as perky as they were before instead of tapped down.

“I’m not deaf, so that’s swell. Last thing I need to be is a faunus that can’t hear or see well. Enough about me though. You don’t even sound like you should be talking. Do I need to grab a pitcher, meds, or-”

“ARF!!” Came a high pitched cry from the main hall that made Veronica jump.

What came next was the pitter patter of tiny paws on tile that made its way onto carpet. From around the couch, a tiny Dalmatian puppy with perfect spots under his eyes came waddling towards Veronica with a wagging tail

It let out its tiny yet mighty bark again. “ARF!” He nibbled on the tip of Veronica’s worn sneakers.

“N-No.” Summer stuttered, patting the couch cushion to gain its attention. “Dunce, leave her alone. I’m sorry, again.”

“You named them Dunce?”

“Our old dog was named Dolt. I don’t see the problem. Oscar suggested a therapy animal and I chose this little menace. Dunce! I need you to be smart for three seconds and come to mama.”

“It’s fine.” Veronica bent over and picked up the little guy. “Hey Dunce. Smelled a cat did ya? Good thing I don’t spook like my mom.” Veronica watched as his tiny tongue licked her nose before the puppy yawned. “Me too.”

Summer was a little bit shocked seeing Veronica react so casually. Now that she was thinking about it, Veronica overall appeared…low on energy compared to her typical attitude. Her tone was laxed and her gaze held a neutrality to them, but it didn’t feel natural.

“Are you…on antidepressants?” Summer hesitated to say. Veronica raised a brow at the question. Suddenly there was a bit more light behind Veronica’s eyes, but only a bit.

“I mean…I was for a bit, but not anymore. They…they kinda made me worse.” Veronica said in a disheartening voice. “Uh, does he have a cage I put him in? Dogs can catch human diseases y’know?”

“Yeah.” Summer pointed towards the main entryway. “Cage is outside the kitchen door.”

“Is that hygienic?”

“It’s not in the kitchen or right next to it. Keqing it there makes it easy to put him inside when we have to. He listens to microwave beeps more than me.”

Veronica snickered then left to put him away. Summer couldn’t help but feel the awkwardness between them. Maybe it was all in her sick brain, but Veronica’s words felt rather dry. The typical wittiness and snap back wasn’t there. Almost as if her mind was somewhere else. The girl in question came back in with bottles of water and two extra covers. One was draped over Summer.

“Oh. Th-Thank you?”

“I could tell you were shivering.” Veronica used the second cover on herself and turned on the tv. “Ceremony won’t start for a while. Not that it’s gonna be interesting. You should get some rest while you can though.”

“Okay…” Summer said meekly, resting her head. She couldn’t take her eyes off of Veronica. Somehow she looked more tired. “Hey, are you okay?”

“Jet lag. Menagerie isn’t exactly the closest spot to Atlas.”

“That makes sense. Although, if you had no real interest in the gala then why come all the way here in the first place?”

“It’s not Menagerie.” Veronica laid her head down and put her arm over her eyes to block out light. “Sorry, but I need a bit of rest myself. Don’t worry though. I sleep lightly.”

Now she was even apologizing. Something definitely changed over the months. Well…a lot has actually changed. Could it be that Veronica was forcing herself to help as a way of trying to make things better between them? Summer remembered their final conversation. It was messy and complicated, but it wasn’t as if Summer came off as resentful. Maybe Oscar had spoken to Veronica in one of their sessions recently and it really hit home so now she’s contemplating? Whatever it was, Summer didn’t have the energy or intention to force a conversation. Veronica was right about her being tired. The two girls shut their eyes and let rest settle in.

xxxxxx

It was about an hour or so before Summer woke up again. As her vision cleared, she saw Veronica sitting in the corner of the other couch watching tv. Summer looked down to find her water bottle and noticed that beside it was cough syrup and a melted ice pouch.

“Your fever broke in your sleep.” Veronica said casually. “Do you remember waking up to take that medicine?”

“Not in the slightest.”

“I thought as much. Anyways, how you feein?”

“Actually…pretty good.” Summer sat up. Her body still had a little fatigue but there was no headache or sore throat. “Sorry if I woke you.”

“I’m here to take care of you. Besides, I got decent rest I suppose.”

Summer wasn’t too convinced about that. Veronica did appear to have a bit more energy but her overall demeanor and even her slouching posture told a different story. There had to be a way to break the ice. Fortunately, Veronica also had things to say.

“How’s school? It’s back in session right?”

Summer nodded. “We actually did a bunch of online classes not long after you left, but a month ago the entire school was up and running again. Normally I’d be pissed but it looks like summer vacation will happen. They’re even considering extending it since some students were trapped in Atlas.

“You guys have already made up for four months worth of work?”

“Atlas has problems. Education isn’t one of them. Especially in a combat school. Not to brag but we’re kinda awesome.”

“I know four of you are, but I never got that impression from your peers.”

Summer blinked twice. If she wasn’t mistaken, Veronica called her awesome. Sure, she mentioned Val, Nick, and Eliza, but she included Summer among them.

Veronica noticed the silence. “Something wrong?”

“N-No! Just uhh…” Summer trailed off. “Anyways, I’m more surprised the field is repaired. You all really set it ablaze.”

“That’s putting it mildly. I set off an inferno that could’ve killed us.”

“Abou that…has that shaken you up or anything?”

“Huh? Not particularly? Sure it was scary but so were a lot of things. Why?”

“Just asking.” So that wasn’t what was bothering her. Perhaps Summer went about this the wrong way? Veronica could be feeling general unease? “Speaking of summer vacation, I actually wanted to talk to you about something.”

“I’m all ears.” Veronica wiggled both pairs of them.

“I was hoping you could help me with a swimsuit?”

Now that was a question Veronica hadn’t expected. She gave full attention to Summer. “Why me of all people?”

“What do you mean why?” Summer pulled the covers halfway up her face. “You look good in everything and know fashion. I wanna look hot.” She muttered.

Veronica felt a flutter in her chest. “Oh, thanks.” She wasn’t expecting such a brutally honest response. “I’ve actually never made a swimsuit before. Not that I couldn’t learn to work with the fabric but it would take time. Can’t guarantee it would hold up against something professional.”

“That’s alright. I more so wanted to pick your brain than have you suddenly make me one for scratch.”

“I can do that. Are you well enough to stand?”

“I am.”

“If you go change into a sports bra and some shorts then I can give my thoughts now.”

Summer squinted. “What makes you think I own sports bras?”

“Because you’re the same girl who walked around in oversized school uniforms and would get away with sweatpants any chance possible.” Veronica said bluntly. Maybe a little too blunt. Summer started to pout. “Shit, I uuh didn’t mean for that to sound-”

Summer stood up and left the covers on the couch to reveal she was already in shorts. The girl huffed while removing her oversized Pumpkin Pete’s t-shirt to show Veronica her black sports bra.

Veronica threw her hands up in disbelief. “So you were just being difficult?”

“Nobody likes being called out so accurately.” Summer crossed her arms defensively. “Let’s make this quick. I’m still cold.”

Veronica got on her feet and got to inspecting. First thing she immediately noticed Summer’s skin in general looked healthier than last time. Not to mention she sounded better internally as well.

“You’ve been eating healthier.”

Summer’s eyes went wide. “You can tell at a glance? I mean it’s not as difficult considering Shiva is gone. I don’t have to worry about making her more capable. I’ve even stuck to the diary suggestions you gave me.”

“You don’t have to follow that. You do realize that, right?”

“I know, but I kinda like it now.”

“Whatever floats your boat I guess.” Veronica looked at several scars imprinted on Summer’s body. It was obvious this desire of hers had more to deal with self confidence than basic attractiveness.

Though her body wasn’t flawless, most of Summer’s scars had healed remarkably well over time; many had faded and naturally gotten smaller as the girl grew up from the accident that was more than a decade ago by now. There were a couple under her right rib cage and left thigh that noticeably had heavier scar tissue but that was fine. Veronica looked at Summer’s face again. Even the slight scar across her cheek and chin were difficult to notice. Her arms obviously had a couple scars from punctures, but once again, they healed pretty well.

“Did you have any ideas in mind? High waisted, strapless, over the shoulder, or basic?”

Summer shrugged. “I don’t know. It’s why I’m asking you. I want to try being more comfortable with myself but any time I go shopping…it all becomes a chore.” She sighed.

“Well since you’re asking me, go with a one piece.” Veronica watched Summer try to stop her face from scrunching up. “What?”

“Isn’t that a little…I don’t know, childish?”

“Only if you’re thinking about a school’s one piece, maybe. Summer, you do know you can’t really pull off what I would pick for myself, right?”

“Yes Veronica. I’m painfully aware of that.” It was hard not to sound jealous. Belladonna and Xiao Long genetics are the ultimate slap in the face in this specific case. “The hell is your dairy diet?”

“Stop crying over nonexistent spilled milk. You are also the daughter of a very beautiful woman who I highly doubt has ever looked ugly. Weiss Schnee might be the definition of beauty.”

“I think you’re underselling how gorgeous your parents are.”

“Oh I’m fully aware people drool over my parents. One more than the other at times. Doesn’t change what I said. Showing more skin doesn’t automatically make you feel more attractive or give off the perception you’re aiming for. You have to learn to work with what you have instead of what you wish for.”

“And what would that be?” Summer asked earnestly, receiving a tap on the leg with Veronica’s

“Like I said, you’re your mother’s daughter. Short torso, but long elegant legs. A one piece Will compliment that while also covering a few scars because let’s be honest, that’s what’s bugging you. Take it a step at a time. Hell, pick a one piece that shows a little of your back if you think that’s manageable. Alternatively, high waisted bottoms are a bikini top that’s more like a crop top or vest. You can feel hot and be modest.

Summer listened to every word. Veronica had gotten so caught up in her craft that she was speaking normally again. Not only that, but what she said felt more than personal advice. It was clear Veronica pulled from personal experience. A mixture of care and stern lecturing. For some reason, that made Summer smile.

It didn’t go unnoticed. “What’s with the grin?”

“I’m relieved. The awkward tension isn’t as bad as earlier. Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep it all in mind.”

Again with the compliments. Veronica wasn’t sure she would get used to them. She walked back to her seat. “You can put back on your shirt now before you catch another cold.”

“That would suck.” Summer returned to her comfy clothes and blankets. “Gotta admit I’m a little surprised you’ve never worked with swimsuits. Haven’t covered it in fashion class yet?”

Awkwardness came back again. Veronica turned her gaze towards the tv to see the countless citizens in extraordinary outfits as ceremonies took place. She rested her head in her left hand.

“Veronica?”

“Don’t know. I never went back.” Her ears dropped down.

Summer’s heart sunk, her body leaning back in shock. “Never went back? What do you mean you never went back?”

“I missed a lot when I left the first time. Granted it wasn’t anything I couldn’t make up with effort and my talent, but I didn’t really have one of those. Regular school is hard enough, now I had to fight in order to keep a spot nobody wanted me in to start with. Between my terrible record with fights and whatever bull shit they came up with, I didn’t have the energy. I’ve barely been going to school at all actually.”

“But…you love making designs.”

“I also loved gymnastics and a bunch of other things. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not like I’ve given up on it. At this point it makes more sense to finish school and then go to design school somewhere far from home. Coco Axel herself thinks I have talent and recommended a few schools, so it’s a win.”

Veronica turned to Summer to smile at her humble brag but saw the girl frowning. A twinge of pain hit her chest and the smile she tried to wear didn’t show up.

Summer spoke with genuine concern. “Why don’t I think you believe that?”

“I mean…” Veronica clenched the bottom of her skirt as she held her head down. “I’d be lying if I said I’m not a little disappointed in myself. By all rights, this plan is more favorable than things have been; yet it feels like I broke a promise to myself. As if they won by kicking me out.” Her voice trembled.

“I-”

“Can we please not talk about this?” She said quickly.

There it was, the frailty from before. Summer took a breath before speaking calmly. “Are you forcing yourself to interact with me because not doing so feels like running away?”

Veronica raised her head with urgency. “No, that’s not…” she sighed, feeling exhausted. “I don’t know why I’m doing what I am anymore. I only know doing nothing isn’t going to fix anything.”

“What are you trying to fix?”

“….Everything?” Tears spilled over that Veronica quickly wiped away. “Myself.”

“I can’t really speak much on school since I don’t have room to talk about the best way to handle it, but don’t think you have to force these things. Especially between us. It’s like you said about my swimsuit. Go at your own pace.”

“If I don’t push myself then I don’t want to move. I know that healing isn’t this linear process but these setbacks and plateaus keep…scaring me. I know I don’t deserve pity for a lot of things I’ve done but these lows are so-”

“Who told you that?” Summer asked sternly, spooking herself a little. “Who said you don’t deserve pity or empathy? I most certainly didn’t and I know nobody who has your best interest said that. Vee, in case you haven’t noticed, not once since you’ve been here have I done something fucked up like guilt trip you or come off as passive aggressive. So you showed up today because you feel guilty? Half the things I’ve done for my family had personal guilt attached to it. That’s all the proof you need that you’re holding yourself accountable and have compassion, but don’t think you have to act on every urge. I see that you’re trying. You got a therapist immediately after I told you.

“I thought you were upset over that?”

“Not literally! I was just being bratty because I’m not fan of sharing. I’m not actually mad you took my advice to get therapy from the person you trust. Cut me a little slack.” Summer gave Veronica a gentle smile. “Have any interesting breakthroughs you’re comfortable with sharing? Oscar has a way of making people cry.”

Veronica wiped her face again. “I don’t know if I can really call them breakthroughs. They’ve been things I pretty much knew about myself but never wanted to admit verbally. Apparently I have a fairly decent understanding of myself. It’s putting in the work positively that sucks.”

“Gotta admit that makes me a little jealous. That man sometimes peels back a layer I didn’t know existed.”

“Heh, well, I guess the closest thing to that is despite my low tolerance and expectations for people, I persist in being close to see if I’ll be proven wrong.” She sniffed. “It’s a big reason why I like Nick. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing.

Summer can understand that. All of their family is kind and caring but people like her brother and Penny aren’t related to Veronica. She’s so used to being written off by others that she expects it’ll come eventually. However, the truth is that’s not gonna happen with those two. Even in Veronica’s ugliest moments, they never thought less of her or believed she couldn’t be better. Now that Summer thought of it, Veronica most likely thought similarly about this situation.

Summer reached out her hand. “Not to change topics so suddenly, but I’m still cold.”

“Oh, okay.” Veronica removed her own blanket. She wasn’t actually that cold anymore anyways. She walked over to Summer to give her the extra layer but was caught by surprise when Summer grabbed her by the wrist. “What are - ahh!” A firm tug sent Veronica falling forward.

Summer caught the girl in her arms and fell back gently onto the couch with Veronica ensnared. They landed on their sides and Summer kept the girls face close to her chest. “Aah~That’s better.” She didn’t push her luck by rubbing her head.

Veronica squirmed and grunted. “Grr, Summer! I’m not in the mood for-”

“Then use your semblance or punch me in the face to escape. I’m not letting go of you.”

Veronica’s tail swayed back and forth as she tried wiggling side to side before giving up, her body going limp. She wasn’t going to punch a sick person.

“No semblance?”

“…I’m too exhausted to deal with falling.”

“Guess you’re stuck then.” Summer didn’t really believe that was the full reason, she let Veronica get away with it.

Silence built between them for at least a minute as the sound of a clock ticked and the sound from tv not being watched played in the background.

“Why are you doing this?” Veronica finally asked.

“You’re warm and I’m cold. Chalk it up to fulfilling your duties as my temporary keeper.”

“….Why are you really doing this?” Veronica sunk into the embrace.

“….Not sure. Maybe this is my version of tough love? I don’t like seeing you so down on yourself and walking on eggshells around me. Can’t tell if I’m concerned or if it ticks me off.”

“Beats me.” She said dryly.

“Back to what you said, I can empathize a little. There were many times I felt like I was giving every reason for people to let go to the waste side. Even so, my family never let go. I felt like dead weight and yet they still chose to hang on to me. I never really understood why, but maybe there isn’t much to understand?”

“It’s love. The type that feels unconditional and dangerous for everyone involved. Especially the person who doesn’t believe they deserve it.”

Summer felt Veronica tense up. “Not that I’m giving you my blessing or anything like that, but take it from me, Nick does whatever the fuck he wants. His answer to participating less in contests and overseeing school affairs was to get a part time job for crying out loud.” She snickered, “He’s so bad saying no he literally had to give himself an excuse to deny people.”

“Does he work at the cafe he likes so much?”

“Could you smell it on him? Heh, it’s not a terrible scent by any means but man is it a lot to deal with. Anyways, don’t be afraid to be real with him. And if you feel too reliant, bring it up. You could also make my day and fall for someone else.”

“No offense, but do you even know what it’s like to fall for someone? You kinda bask in the limelight.”

“Nope.” Summer said without a second thought. “I’ve been attracted to people but generally all guys I’ve met look disappointed and mundane.”

“Do you think that has something to do with the fact people like Oscar, your father, and Nick set the bar high by sticking by you through medical, physical, and emotional crises? How can any normal guy treat you that tenderly?”

Summer felt like her entire world hit pause. Now she knew for sure Veronica did sessions with Oscar, because not only was that delivery so blunt, the monotone nature of it hit her in the face. That had never crossed her mind!

“Let’s keep the focus on you okay?” Summer said, not wanting to acknowledge that new box of horror right now. “I asked earlier but I’ll ask again. How are you feeling? Are you okay?”

Veronica felt her own heart beating faster. Despite her deep breaths, it wouldn’t calm down. “…It’s not jet lag.” She said on the verge of tears. “I’m so tired all the time. I can sleep for hours and gain little rest. I feel like a bundle of nerves because I don’t know if I’m angry with myself or everyone else. I…I am so lost in it all. I don’t know if I’m doing anything right anymore. Maybe I never was. It feels even shitty to complain like this to you about my problems when yours actually tried to kill you.”

“…..So are yours. They pushed you.”

The words echoed in Veronica’s head. “Ah…I guess I never looked at it like that. Ya know…I would always get so angry hearing someone said ending your life is the easy way out. There’s nothing easy about letting all hope inside you fade and believing nothing gets better. It’s pure torture.”

“What does not giving up mean then?”

“That’s not easy either. It takes pure strength to hold onto hope for a better day.”

“If that’s the case, Veronica, you’re the strongest person I’ve ever known.”

Summer gently combed through the girl’s hair with her fingers. So much has happened in so little time. Perhaps everything was leading to this moment? Then again, it was nice to think they both reached this point by never giving up instead of believing in something as mysterious as destiny. All Summer knew for sure is whenever she thought about Veronica recently, she only wanted good things to happen to her and for them to talk. Not only about big and serious things, but the silly little topics that no normal person would get hung up on. Not everything in life can be mended and things that are might not be quite the same. Even so, Summer knew in her heart there was one thing she could- no, that she did mend and wanted to share.

“Veronica…?” She said softly.

“Hmmm?” The girl hummed, barely mustering the energy.

“….I forgive you.”

Three words. That’s all it took to undo some of the immense pressure that weighed heavily on Veronica. She couldn’t even question if it was said out of pity or earnestly. The simple fact that she hears what she never believed would undid the rest of her composure. Her arms wrapped around Summer to hold on gently.

No more words were exchanged. Summer continued to play with Veronica’s hair and keep her close as the girl cried into her chest, her body trembling. Summer never found herself as particularly kind in comparison to others she knew. However, right now she couldn’t believe her brother might’ve been right. After all her protests and feelings of disbelief towards her own qualities, here she was, holding on. Maybe there truly was something everyone saw in her and Veronica that the two of them had yet to notice at the time? Summer had to admit that now she wanted to see it too.

xxxxx

Night settled in and the esteemed guests had returned to the manor exhausted. Not so much though that Weiss did them all a favor by having a human-sized Gigas carry the awards and baggage.

“Is it too much to ask for those things to be fun and brief?” Sparrow sighed.

“Yes.” Everyone said.

Ruby held a passed out Ruth in her arms. “One of us had a blast. Out like a light.

Weiss smiled. “Then it’s worth it in the end. You two and Whitley could’ve gone straight home if you wanted to.”

“Nah, Ruth likes Veronica. I was thinking we all might crash here for tonight? There’s definitely enough rooms.”

Nora’s eyes lit up. “Then in the morning we get treated to the most wonderful breakfast by Ruby, Ren, Jaune, Winter, and Yang!”

Sparrow clapped. “Amazing idea.”

Blake however took slight offense. “Are you saying the other half of us spouses are the inferior cooks?”

Weiss, Whitley, and Qrow looked at Blake. “That’s because we are.”

“My cooking is great!”

Yang patted her back. “It is, but let’s be honest. My breakfast brings your parents over.”

While Valerie was busy getting distracted by Dunce’s adorableness, Nick followed Oscar and Penny to the living room to hopefully find it in one piece. Immediately as they walked in they came back out waving everyone over silently but frantically. The curious bunch made their way over.

Everyone had to restrain their gasps before smiling. This sure wasn’t expected. Both girls were completely knocked out on one sofa holding one another. Empty water bottles were everywhere and there were a couple empty snack bowls as well. Summer looked rather pleased in her slumber while Veronica was in a deep sleep. A soft purring could be heard coming from her as she leaned into Summer’s embrace.

No one had the heart to wake them. As they left, Weiss turned off the tv, Yang and Blake grabbed the trash, and Jaune put a cover over them that had fallen off. Nick however, grabbed something a bit more memorable; a quick photo to show them later if the need arises. Would they threaten his life? It was possible. Would that make him any less correct? Absolutely not.

Ruby: I have come to the realization that we have a way to predict the future for team RWBY in a bizarre way!

WBYJRN: ... Huh?

Ruby: Hear me out. Ren and Nora, You two have find have clearly, to everyone besides Ren, in love with each other and have finally admitted it but aren’t together truly yet but you need to work on person issues.

Ren: It was that obvious?

Nora: Proving her point Ren.

Ruby: This is literally the reverse of Yang and Blake, who have worked on their issues and are clearly in love but just haven’t admitted it.

Yang: Wh-What are you talking about?

Blake: We are just friends

Ruby: Then why are you two blushing and why are you cuddling?

Yang/Blake: *Both are indeed blushing as Blake sits on Yang’s lap as they are holding each other like a married couple.* ... Not how I wanted to tell her./I was gonna tell you soon.

Ruby: Eeeexactly. Jaune!

Jaune: Oh gods. I know where this is going.

Ruby: You have been through horrible traumatizing shit and had to make a sacrifice no one should have to make. I too have gonna through similar traumatizing shit and after seeing what Salem does to silver eye warrior and ow delighted she always is when someone brings up me and Yang’s mom, you can guess what I am going to have to do.

Jaune: Oh... Well. You’re welcome for the heads up?

Ruby: Don’t push it.

Weiss: Wait. What about me? How did team JNR predict my future?

Ruby: ... Uh, can someone cover Jaunes ears and maybe get him some tissues?

Weiss: Oh gods it have to do with Cinder stabbing me and how its related to Pyrrha’s death isn’t it.

Ruby: To be fair when you started to glow it saved your life. Unlike Pyrrha who turned... to... dust.

Jaune: OH GODS AND BOTH WERE MY FAULT! *starts crying*

Weiss: RUBY!

Ruby: I SAID SOMEONE COVER HIS EARS OR GET HIM TISSUES!

Controversial opinion. Oz was an amazing character and people just hate him for what Osma was forced to do by the Gods. He wasnt responsible for anything that happened. He was living a normal life for lets say 25 years. Then suddenly a voice is in your head telling you that you need to fight your technically crazy ex wife and also you cant make any mistakes or everyone dies. Like uh... OF COURSE HE MADE MISTAKES CAUSE HOW DO YOU HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

i do get a lot of the criticisms of ozpin; he’s made a lot of mistakes & not all of them can be excused with his trauma even though it does explain most of his actions. ozpin has had the weight of the world on him for literal centuries, millennia even & has managed to keep things running relatively smoothly. even with a murderous, abusive ex wife who controls man eating murder monsters snapping at his heels every moment of every day.

for comparison; rwby had a taste of that same responsibility for less than a month & crumpled like a piece of wet tissue. & the worst thing is that they had the choice ozpin didn’t. ozpin was put into this role knowing nothing about the entire situation from the gods, after dying & being brought back to life like a plaything repeatedly. whereas team rwby had dragged out all of that trauma callously & cruelly against his will, had all the answers, put themselves into that position of power of their own free will & then still had the audacity to complain it was hard.

like yes, girls. of course it’s hard. that’s why ozpin made the decisions he did, because he learned from past mistakes that he had to suffer the consequences for. mistakes & consequences we literally see in the show in leonardo that ruby then completely ignores to throw faunus’s collaboration with salem into the spotlight, that if the writers were actually competent, would have serious negative ramifications against an already oppressed minority.

as much as i can understand some frustrations against ozpin, i really wish there was more leeway & sympathy given to an abuse survivor who had to make the choices for everyone. y’know; kind of like there is for the other abuse survivors like blake, weiss, qrow, etc.

Somewhat the Pure

Should(n't) leave

Ruby: You need to leave. The store is closing.

Somewhat: Can I stay a little longer? We don't have a lot of cheese at home.

Ruby: It's the company rule. (Eyes watering) Y-You have to go. I'm sorry.

Somewhat: Just a little bit? I get chased by cats when I try to get cheese at home...

Ruby: G... G-Give me a second!

Ruby: Weiss, please, can they stay? I can't kick them out, they're too adorable! Can't we, I don't know, let them stay here as a mascot or something? I don't know!

Weiss: I don't care if they're Adrian Cotta Arc! They need to leave right now! And I'll show you how it's done!

Weiss: Alright, store's closing! Get out! This is your last warning, and if you refuse, then I'll force you out!

Somewhat: Please, miss, I'll give you as much money as I can if you let me stay...

Weiss: This... This is a button.

Somewhat: I'm sorry, but this is all the money I have right now. But if you let me stay, I promise I'll get you more.

Weiss: (Eyes watering) I... I-I can't do it! You're the boss now!

Somewhat: Oh, I don't know how to run a business. Oh...

Ruby: Uh, okay, so, uh, the quarterly... projection... things are in, and we're, uh... We're not doing too good. Weiss says we're gonna have to downsize.

Somewhat: Oh... And I got so used to being Somewhat, and now I have to be Little again.

Ruby: W... We're not shrinking you, we're choosing which department is getting fired.

Somewhat: Oh, well, I hope they have enough ointments for their burns.

Ruby: No, they're... They're not going to be allowed to work here anymore.

Somewhat: They're being forced to quit?

Ruby: Yup.

Somewhat: No.

Ruby: But... But we have to!

Somewhat: But they won't afford cheese if they're forced to quit.

Ruby: We're going to go bankrupt if we don't let one of the departments go, and Weiss will be really mad at us! It's just how it is!

Somewhat: But it's awful.

Ruby: If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it!

Somewhat: Give everyone cheese. I want everyone to be happy and not lose their jobs. It's mean...

Ruby: What? That... That's not going to work. We're going to go bankrupt, and Weiss is going to yell at us, and-

Somewhat: Please?

Ruby: (Eyes water) ...I'm going to regret this, but okay. I just can't say no! I just can't say-

Ruby: (Looking at the massive profits, Shocked) No way did that work! But it did, and now I'm going to go cry in the bathroom at the monster I almost became!

Somewhat: Here's some tissues.

Ruby: (Sobbing) THANK YOU SO MUCH!

---------------------------------------------------

Headmaster of Beacon

Ruby: Congratulations on your first day, Headmaster Somewhat.

Somewhat: Wait, how did I get here?

Ruby: Oh, we just skipped the election entirely and everyone agreed you should be in charge.

Somewhat: Oh, uh, I don't remember running.

Ruby: Everyone just likes you that much.

Somewhat: Oh, well, thank you, I suppose.

Ruby: But since you are now in charge, we have to get started on these items on our to-do list. I'll read them off and you just give me your opinion.

Somewhat: Oh, well, alright.

Ruby: Okay, first of all is the Dust Hike.

Somewhat: Oh, well, that sounds lovely.

Ruby: What?

Somewhat: If it means cleaner floors, then we should help dust be healthier and more active.

Ruby: Headmaster, it's another way to say "increasing taxes".

Somewhat: Well, if the taxes will help the dust be more active and healthy, then why not increase it?

Ruby: ...

Ruby: (Eyes welling) W-We'll, uh, just come back to that later. Separation of Faunus and Humans.

Somewhat: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that their marriage didn't work out.

Ruby: Humans and Faunus aren't people- I-I MEAN, they ARE people, but they're not one person. It's about racial segregation.

Somewhat: I don't know what that means, and now I'm in a sad mood. Can we go to the next one please?

Ruby: (Pauses, Takes a deep breath) Yes, headmaster. Next topic is... The White Fang.

Somewhat: What's The White Fang?

Ruby: ...

Somewhat: ...Is there a problem?

Ruby: Somewhat, there's not a single scenario I can think of that wouldn't somehow ruin your innocence.

Somewhat: What's innocence?

Ruby: ...We're just gonna move on to the last issue.

Somewhat: Okay.

Ruby: Oh, thank you, Oum. Uh... The current war.

Somewhat: Oh, there's a war going on?

Ruby: Yes, do you have any battle tactics?

Somewhat: Oh, uh, well, I don't really know. I don't even know all of the Headmasters yet. I don't think I'm qualified for this.

Ruby: Headmaster, I don't think Salem is going to give you time to learn, and-

Salem: (Seer flies in, Projects herself) Headmaster Somewhat, I'm willing to put the war on hold until you learn all the Headmasters names. Because I really like you.

Somewhat: Oh, well, um... Th-Thank you for your kindness, Ma'am.

Salem: You're welcome. (Seer flies out)

Ruby: Okay, uh... I-I guess we're good for now... Who is this?

Somewhat: Um... Is that... Jane Ironbark?

Ruby: (Almost crying) N-No, but... You're getting closer, buddy...

Somewhat: Thank you.

Ruby: Y-Y-You're welcome!

---------------------------------------------------

Rules the World

Ruby: Alright, Somewhat, you rule all of Remnant now. The entire world! That's a pretty big deal!

Somewhat: I only went to the store to buy cheese. I don't know how I got here.

Ruby: Just go with it. Depression is already at an all-time high.

Somewhat: What's depression?

Ruby: It's not a thing with you around, little buddy!

Somewhat: Oh, I'm sorry, Depression. I didn't mean to scare you away. Maybe we can find you some friends if you come back.

Ruby: Somewhat... Depression is when people are really, really sad. It's not a person.

Somewhat: Well, it's a person to me. I think everyone deserves to be happy. Even depression.

Ruby: (About to cry) This is exactly why you're in charge...

Somewhat: Well, I'm really confused, but thank you.

Ruby: (Sighs) Anyway, first order of business-

Somewhat: W-Wait! I'm really nervous! When I was Headmaster of Beacon, I had a lot of tough choices to make, but now that I'm charge of the whole world, I feel like there are more choices with even more difficult decisions, and... Oooh...

Ruby: Somewhat, you have nothing to worry about at all! It's all been fixed!

Somewhat: Really?

Ruby: Yup! As soon as Remnant heard you were going to be in charge, all the Kingdoms came together and fixed all of their problems all at once. They didn't want to make you nervous. They- They couldn't do it.

Somewhat: That... That sounds too strange to be true.

Ruby: Somewhat, you gotta understand, being a world leader who HATES Somewhat the Mouse is political sui... A career ender.

Somewhat: Wait, who's Sue?

Ruby: Sue is... a really good friend from school!

Somewhat: Oh, well, she sounds lovely.

Ruby: Yeah, yeah, but, uh, you don't have to worry about anything because everything is all good now.

Somewhat: Wait, then what do I do?

Ruby: Don't worry, we have the "Solve it!" button now and you just press it, and it fixes everything!

Somewhat: ...That's it?

Ruby: Yup!

Somewhat: ...And everyone is okay with this?

Ruby: Yup, everyone in the whole world will completely agree and nobody is forced, or coerced, or brainwashed into agreeing. It's not even political at this point, because everyone is going to like it.

Somewhat: W-Well, okay. (Taps button)

THAT WAS EASY

Ruby: Thank you. Now here's your trophy.

Somewhat: Oh, I couldn't accept a trophy-

Ruby: There's cheese in it.

Somewhat: OH! (Takes trophy, Eats the cheese)

Ruby: ...This is good.

---------------------------------------------------

Murder Mouse

Somewhat: Are we going trick or treating soon?

Ruby: Oh, uh, yup! Yup! Just give me a minute to get things ready outside!

Somewhat: Oh, well, uh, okay then.

Ruby: Thanks, Somewhat~!

Ruby: (Shuts door) Great. Now, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Mercury: I'm having the best day of my life to be honest.

Ruby: HOW?!

Mercury: It's like Somewhat the Mouse... BUT HE DO THE MURDER!

Ruby: Why would you make this?! They didn't do anything to you!

Mercury: It's a project I've had in my mind since I was little baby. This is what my life has been leading up to!

Ruby: You got this from a Bionic Fishin' skit.

Mercury: Shut the fu- Shut up!

Ruby: You listen here; if they see this, they'll-!

Somewhat: Everything alright out here?

Ruby: S-SOMEWHAT!

Somewhat: Is that a horror version of me?

Ruby: U-Uh, well, uh-

Mercury: Yup.

Somewhat: Oh, well, can I make one request?

Mercury: What?

Somewhat: Can you put a disclaimer telling everyone I'm sorry I'm scaring them. I won't tell you to stop, but I'd appreciate it if everyone knew I never intended to scare anyone ever. The idea of me hurting anyone makes me feel awful...

Mercury: (Strained) ...S-Sure?

Somewhat: Thank you very much. I'll just get my candy bag ready then. Have a wonderful night. (Goes inside)

Mercury: (Sniffles) I-I don't think I want to do this anymore!

Ruby: I TOLD YOU!

So I watched the first three episodes of Ice Queendom with some friends yesterday AND OH GOODNESS

Loving this new take on Volume 1. Honestly surprised they managed to sum up the entire volume in 3 eps and still add some pretty great extra scenes while they were there. Just a lot of connective tissue and context to some of the earlier scenes and trailers.

BUT ALSO HOT DAMN! I heard they leaned into the Schneekos, but wow THEY REALLY LEANED INTO THE SCHNEEKOS! Like it went from "haha Weiss has a bit of a girl crush" to "not having Pyrrha as her partner is now one of her main character focuses"

And oooohhh I adore the concept of the nightmares as this weird fucked up grimm. Tho I guess they mean my theory was off by a bit. So this isn't an Isekai, this is literally Weiss's mind realm, and that means the bit about "all the character designs are based on her perceptions of people" WAS RIGHT! Also leaning extra hard on Schneekos, since that implies Weiss subconsciously put Pyrrha in a pretty Schnee style dress

they're wives folks

Oh and helloooooo nonbinary icon Shion Zaiden. I would like to steal your clothes, weapons, and gender. You beautiful tall goth bitch.

Anyways now I just need to wait a whole entire month for episode 4... that isn't gonna kill me or anything

The study of leukemia had been mired in confusion and despair ever since its discovery. On March 19. 1845, a Scottish physician, John Bennett, had described an unusual case, a twenty-eight-year-old slate layer with a mysterious swelling in his spleen. “He is of dark complexion,” Bennett wrote of his patient, “usually healthy and temperate; [he] states that twenty months ago, he was affected with great listlessness on exertion, which has continued to this time. In June last he noticed a tumor in the left side of his abdomen which has gradually increased in size till four months since, when it became stationary.”

The slate-layer's tumor might have reached its final, stationary point, but his constitutional troubles only accelerated. Over the next few weeks, Bennett's patient spiraled from symptom to symptom – fevers, flashes of bleeding, sudden fits of abdominal pain – gradually at first, then on a tighter, faster arc, careening from one bout to another. Soon the slate-layer was on the verge of death with more swollen tumors sprouting in his armpits, his groin, and his neck. He was treated with the customary leeches and purging, but to no avail. At the autopsy a few weeks later, Bennett was convinced that he had found the reason behind the symptoms. His patient's blood was chock-full of white blood cells. (White blood cells, the principal constituent of pus, typically signal the response to an infection, and Bennett reasoned that the slate-layer had succumbed to one.) “The following case seems to me particularly valuable,” he wrote self-assuredly, “as it will serve to demonstrate the existence of true pus, formed universally within the vascular system.”

It would have been a perfectly satisfactory explanation except that Bennett could not find a source for the pus. During the necropsy, he pored carefully through the body, combing the tissues and organs for signs of an abscess or wound. But no other stigmata of infection were to be found. The blood had apparently spoiled – suppurated – of its own will, combused spontaneously into true pus. “A suppuration of blood,” Bennett called his case. And he left it at that.

Bennett was wrong, of course, about his spontaneous “suppuration” of blood. A little over four months after Bennett had described the slater's illness, a twenty-four-year-old German researcher, Rudolf Virchow, independently published a case report with striking similarity to Bennett's case. Virchow's patient was a cook in her midfifties. White cells had explosively overgrown her blood, forming dense and pulpy pools in her spleen. At her autopsy, pathologists had likely not even needed a microscope to distinguish the thick, milky layer of white cells floating above the red.

Virchow, who knew of Bennett's case, couldn't bring himself to believe Bennett's theory. Blood, Virchow argued, had no reason to transform impetuously into anything. Moreover, the unusual symptoms bothered him: What of the massively enlarged spleen? Or the absence of any wound or source of pus in the body? Virchow began to wonder if the blood itself was abnormal. Unable to find a unifying explanation for it, and seeking a name for this condition, Virchow ultimately settled for weisses Blut – white blood – no more than a literal description of the millions of white cells he had seen under his microscope. In 1847, he changed the name to the more academic-sounding “leukemia” – from leukos, the Greek word for “white”.

i got your ask and i loved it! maybe the seasonal knightfall symbolism was the stuff we made up along the way.

i also wanted to say its so funny (terrible) to me how the idea that sometimes a character doesnt need romance (which i think is fine on its own! i think w/eiss is more empowered by rebuilding her existing family and having friends than she would be with a romantic interest for example) has been twisted so fucking awfully into "any female character i dont want to be happy/i think is getting in the way of my ship/is evil/etc doesnt need romance because she's powerful enough as it is :) im not misogynistic i just want women to be empowered!" im gonna start doing this with male characters actually. cmon guys s/un is cool amd strong enough as it is he doesn't need a love interest :)!! if the writers give him one its just ridiculous 🙄🙄

i just hate seeing people use good points to be fucking annoying to people who like things. i want cinder and salem and every bad evil naughty no good villain woman to get a romance now. and the men can too i guess 🙄🙄 (JOKING they need kisses too. looking at you merc)

if this is rambly im sorry its 2 am again (whoops)

(Now you can see where the previous post I made came from because I was on that seasons shit).

You make excellent points. I think the case with Weiss, though, is that it is actually a textual interpretation of her character, and her parallel with Qrow (her team S/TRQ analogue) is that their character arcs are largely connected to repairing familial relations (and their respective team partner Ruby-Summer). Weiss also gets a different play on Ozlem in her own story (as you pointed out she's almost an even split of their respective roles) which I think is partly being done to show how part of the weakness, say, both Ozlem have is that they don't have supportive, broader connections; Knightfall is the connective tissue, yes, but I do think Cinder being accepted back into the community (... dare I say with the elixir of life) is part of the key to her redemption holistically. But it's ultimately a cop out, otherwise, when this argument is employed, because as you can see it's not about Cinder's character or Cinder's desires.

The problem also here is that Cinder has no friends or family. The overtures of 'friendship' has failured her. How can an orphan have the same character arc as Weiss? It's just nonsensical. Romance for her has been set up as the answer. It has not been dismissed, not at all. Calculatedly so there is a gap in her narrative waiting to be filled.

im gonna start doing this with male characters actually. cmon guys s/un is cool amd strong enough as it is he doesn't need a love interest :)!! if the writers give him one its just ridiculous 🙄🙄

Lol ikr like come on. Make way boys. Then again I've literally seen people say this about Jaune, but Jaune's a special case because he's a victim of being the wrong sort of male character since he has a unique superpower and is my favourite and I am being persecuted in particular.

Jaune if you want narrative armour to protect you from fans being stupid you need to take your shirt off like Sun. (This is the future feminists want).

i just hate seeing people use good points to be fucking annoying to people who like things.

I mean, it's not even really a feminist talking point though, that's the problem, or if it is it's severely misunderstanding the literature. The problem itself is not romantic love, it's a female character being unable to grow beyond that or have her own character. Where I think a real issue is, is so often what we call 'romance' is little more than narrative boon. Narrative boon is itself not the problem: but she acts as a doll-prize, with no crafted character arc, with no justification, with no anything. The romance is not servicing the narrative.

So it's a genre problem.

If anything the argument here I defer to is one of technical weakness, as opposed to simple gender criticism, because I think if you can't write female characters you cannot write holistic characters (and this goes for everyone else). What I think is a serious issue that is overshadowed by discussing fiction as opposed to our actual lives is, you know, what is the role of romance in our own lives? How do we build our lives around it? How do we celebrate reciprocal love? One might say that the objectified portrayal of women in these types of objectified romances comes from the idea that women's needs, desires, and wants are ultimately accessory. The desire is not for reciprocal romance. This is exactly why anons who are bad-faith arguing with me cannot conceive of Knightfall because they don't know what romance actually is. (Take note of the sense of owedness in some of the bad faith anons; this sense that love is transactional, that love is something you are owed, not a gift that is shared, that it is something that is kept as punishment).

Or, were I not arguing from the angle of critical cultural reflection, I might just say they don't... know how to write interrelated character growth that so happens to involve romance. But they do that fine enough in buddy cop shows and film - which is probably the most structurally analogous to romance - so there's something deeper going on here.

In Weiss' case there is a deliberate theme of her Summon - her own familial Semblance - being the one to 'free' her, along with her friends. Given the fact that we have so many other romances that seem inevitable, tying her emotional development - GIVING her that emotional development, not abnegating her - to her family is actually really successful. It means that Weiss can have love central in her life, different types of love, and it gives you narrative space to explore why romantic love is meaningful. It's possible to do with an ensemble cast.

In Cinder's case, romantic love is what's needed. It's got to be one person in particular who can help her. Not just anyone. It's got to be epic and no holds-barred. If anyone could help her, why didn't it happen sooner?

i want cinder and salem and every bad evil naughty no good villain woman to get a romance now. and the men can too i guess 🙄🙄 (JOKING they need kisses too. looking at you merc)

🥺 Jaune can have little a kiss as a treat? And Mercury. Oh, we've not even started on the discourse of Emerald's love for him helping him redeem himself. Well guess what: his love for her already helped free her. 🥰 Now she's going to realise it 🥰 and that gift will be returned twicefold, tenfold, a thousandfold 🥰 since there is no numerical way of quantifying it, as it's magical and special 🥰 and then 🥰 I wonder what OTHER ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANCE THIS COULD SET UP. I WONDER WHAT OTHER ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS ROMANCE THIS COULD
