The Bullhead is uncomfortably cramped, and the ride is taken in total silence. Weiss is pouting at you taking someone else’s side, and you’re content to let her. After Sun’s reminder of how your family is seen in the wider world, outside of Atlas and outside of those who knew you at Beacon, you’ve been taken by a melancholic mood that you don’t feel discussion will lift.

The march back to the dorm room is equally tense, and there is no one in the halls to notice it. Everyone must be getting ready for bed, and classes tomorrow. The trip to your door feels longer than usual, and the only distraction is the sound of twin footsteps echoing through dark halls. You feel an urge to sigh with relief when you finally reach and unlock the door, but you can’t bring yourself to summon the energy for it.

Penny’s head snaps towards the two of you as you enter, and Blake peers over her text book, looking curiously. “You are back from your time with Winter!” Penny states with enthusiasm and a warm smile, “Did you enjoy yourselves?” You can feel your chest rumble with an unreleased groan as Weiss takes the opportunity to finally vent.

“Oh, we had a great time. We stopped by the docks, browsed a bit, and Whitaker made a new friend!” She tears the word from gritted teeth, and the other girls take this as the signal things did not go as planned. Penny shrinks in on herself, her smile rapidly losing confidence, while Blake pulls book up further and prepares to drown your sister out.

(CONTINUED)

>>1734343
“Maybe next time the two of you hang out, you can destroy public property, or get into a police chase!” The implications that you had befriended a criminal make Penny gasps in shock and the noise spurs you to defend yourself.

“He wasn’t doing anything!” It had been a while since you and Weiss had a real shouting match, and the building pressure at the base of your skull was warning you that this could become one very quickly.

“He ran away from a police officer!” Weiss’s voice is shrill, and she’s wrong. That’s what sticks out at you the most. Not her tone, or aggressive stance, but that she was simply wrong. You can’t stop yourself from correcting her even if you wanted to.

“He was running away from us!” Your shout had carried more than volume. Even you could hear the slight strain in your voice, and the argument ends before it can truly begin. Weiss knows you well enough to see how bothered you are by your own words, and you answer before she can ask, “He said so himself, ‘Every Faunus would have run from the Schnees.’”

Weiss begins to retort, but you can’t make out the first syllable before Blake surprises both of you with an interruption, “Why would he say something like that?” You meet her eyes and notice that she’s set the book aside, and seems to be paying an intense amount of interest to the scene before her. You give a short summary of the events, skipping over any details that don’t directly relate to Sun, and when you’re finished, Blake hums in a thoughtful manner.

A few moments of silence pass and you notice that with the argument’s momentum halted, Weiss has entirely lost the mood to fight over it. You aren’t sure it’s over entirely, but it’s the last you’ll hear from Weiss tonight. You move to take a seat at your own desk, but Blake interrupts once again, “Whitaker? Can I talk to you? Alone?”

You can’t think of a reason to deny her (actually, you can think of plenty, but no good ones), so you accept. She leads you back out of the dorm and, eventually, outside. There isn’t a soul around you, but despite that, Blake whispers her question, “Why did you help him? You skipped that part of the story.” You aren’t sure why this conversation had to happen in secret, but you answer…

>A) With refusal. “I’ve got my reasons, okay?”
>B) For your family. “I don’t want anyone to be afraid of us anymore.”
>C) With your morals. “It was wrong to go after him. We weren’t involved, and we didn’t have the right to become involved.”

Honestly, this was my reason for voting. He clearly bolted because he saw us, Winter and Weiss chased him because he ran.

Considering Whitaker is the diplomatic emotional health guy for his family and to an extent his friends, he'd probably take the situation personally. He's a sensitive guy, though he'd really prefer it if the White Fang would stop trying to assassinate them.

>>1734348

>>1734357
Admittedly, there's a strong helping of B on the side, but that's not precisely the way I'd put it. It's not so much "for the family" as "for the family's own good". It's not about how people react to the Schnees, but the reasons why people feel that way.

>>1734348

Diplomatic Proposal from the trenches of the discord Waifu War:

Prom Treaty:

This treaty states that all waifu affiliation will be dropped for this one event. Whittaker shall dance with every girl, waifu prospect or no. He shall rotate around the minor and major characters for 1-2 posts each. None is given more time than any other. This way we get nice interaction with underappreciated girls, whilst also getting some nice waifu time for everyone.

Everyone comes out happy and no bile or vitirol is shed. This way, everyone enjoys prom both in Remnant and irl.

>>1734552
i want to dance with reese

Anti-Haremfags: Worse than their enemy

Agreed, we wouldn't survive otherwise.

>>1734552
I will agree with this. However, I suggest we also have a final dance of the night. A slow dance. After getting a feel for all the girls, may the best waifu win.

>>1734563

Oh god please no

>>1734571
That defeats the whole point of avoiding a waifu war.

>>1734575
the fuck happened in Naruto Quest?

>>1734552
I agree

>>1734577
But the waifu wars need a winner. I think this is a better opportunity to give every waifu a chance. If it were without anything like this, it would just be Penny or Blake (mostly penny), and we wouldn't get a taste of every waifu.

This would allow everyone to get a taste, while still having a victor.

Unpleasantness. Just... either don't ask, or read through it yourself if you must know. I'd recommend the first. It's better that way.

Don't break the treaty.

We can leave it for the next event after the dance, when drama is happening.

The writer actually had the balls to write what happens if you try to harem two girls in a semi realistic social setting.

Then the anons decided to mind merge with the loser of the waifu war, to show how much MC loved her.

Suffering is the best character arc.

>>1734348
There’s some internal debate. You want to tell her several things, but your thoughts jumble up, rushing to explain things you aren’t entirely sure you know Blake well enough to tell. Eventually, you can divide your emotions from the events tonight into clear halves, before and after. Before you knew his name, you knew that what your sisters were doing was immoral. After, you knew that what you had done had reinforced a desire you and Weiss have shared since you first learned of your grandfather. You aren’t sure which could be considered “more important,” so instead you decide to share both.

“It was wrong to go after him. We weren’t involved, and we didn’t have the right to become involved.” There are a few moments while Blake digests the explanation, and when you don’t continue, she asks, “Is that all? I mean, it’s… A good thing. I can respect that, it just… Feels like there’s more to it than that.”

“There is something else, I’m just not sure how to say it…” Blake’s mouth twitches towards a smile and she gently encourages you, “It’s probably best to just spit it out.” You can see the reason in that, so you give it a try.

“I don’t want anyone to be afraid of us anymore. The Schnee name used to mean something more than a brand and a beating.” You had done your best to avoid learning the details of how your father ran his business, but you still knew at least a few facts that made your stomach twist uncomfortably. The symbol you and Weiss wore on your backs were more often featured in the destruction of peace rather than the maintenance of it, and every Schnee born was painfully aware of that fact.

Your reasons seem to cause Blake some sort of discomfort. She’s chewing on her lip and looking towards the ground, eyes unfocused as she retreats internally. “What?” you ask, and she jumps awake a bit. The two of you hold eye contact for a moment or two before Blake runs a hand through her hair and sighs, “This is a bad idea...”

(CONTINUED)

>>1734707
>Some FF14 dude.
>Not SNow Ville-SCHNEE

>>1734712
“What’s a bad idea?” There’s a sensation not unlike whiplash as the mood changes and Blake begins to nervously pace a bit as you stare on in hopeless confusion. She doesn’t answer you, and you try again.

“Blake? You’re starting to worry me.” She seems to remember your presence and stops, faces you, and visibly collects herself with a deep breath.

“Do you swear? That’s why you helped him?” There’s a hint of emotion you can’t quite place. Perhaps a nervous confusion? Either way, Blake is wound up, and you really meant every word, so it isn’t difficult to reaffirm.

“I swear.” You’re certain it was the right thing to say, but Blake seems increasingly nervous despite it.

“Alright. And, what I’m about to tell you, you promise not to tell anyone else? Not even Weiss?” If anything, the tension re-establishing itself makes answering her even easier, “Yes.” Blake’s hands slowly move towards the sides of her head as she speaks.

“This is… Very surprising, for me, but…” She swallows to clear the tightness in her throat and he hands move even further upwards, towards the bow you had never seen her without.

“I trust you.” Blake’s hands move with practiced ease, and the ribbon pulls away, revealing two black cat ears.

>A) You had no idea, but after Penny’s secret, it’s hard to be shocked. “Was… Was that it?”
>B) Question her. “Why hide it from us? Just because of my family?”

>>1734718
>>A) You had no idea, but after Penny’s secret, it’s hard to be shocked. “Was… Was that it?”
After finding out we have Pinnochio on our team, a catgirl isn't really that big of a shock. Not to mention we'd notice how invested Blake was in the state of society.

TO be honest, Whit doesn't seem the type to be surprised at this. Now, if Blake told him she used to be a member of White Fang, then it'd be different.

>>1734718
The air is still as you take in the full implication of what you see. Everything you had seen begins to fall into place. Blake’s initial distrust of you and Weiss, the confrontation over the White Fang, her reaction to the fact you defended Sun. It all comes together in an obvious picture that you curse yourself for not putting together sooner, but there’s one thing you’re missing. One final piece of the puzzle, one last question to ask.

“Was… Was that it?” You can’t help it. After the shock of discovering artificial life on your team, you simply cannot summon the sensation of surprise. A Faunus was fairly tame in comparison. Of course, Blake didn’t know that, so she seems shocked at your casual dismissal. Her eyebrows raise and eyes widen, but you focus on her revealed ears as they stand straight up from their formerly relaxed position.

“‘Is that it…?’” she mimics. “You mean this doesn’t surprise you? You KNEW?!” Your hands reflexively begin to pull upwards to mime placation at your teammate, but the lack of any heat in her exclamation stops them. You take a moment to consider your words carefully before you explain, “No, I had no idea. I’m just not sure why it was such a big a secret.” Blake considers it for a moment, and her expression relaxes to a more reserved one.

“You already know. ‘Every Faunus would run from the Schnees,’ right? Well, it’s not just your family we worry about. There are humans everywhere who don’t accept us. I hide who I am because I don’t want to be afraid of… Whatever people might do. Or say.”

“And with two Schnees on your team, you didn’t think you could let your guard down for even a moment, right?” Blake nods at your assessment, and the heavy feeling from earlier returns. Your family name now officially hung over every member of your team, a single-word threat that could expose Penny, take you and your sister’s freedom or strike fear into the hearts of Blake’s entire species.

“Well… For what it’s worth, I am glad you told me.” There didn’t seem anything else to say, but it seems to be enough to draw a small, sad smile out of Blake.

“I am too.”

(CONTINUED)

>>1735165
The night passed uneventfully after Blake’s confession, leaving you with nothing to look forward to but the next day and the classes that would follow. Your morning courses are uninspiring, the same book work you had been doing for weeks, but your first mid-day class was one of the more exciting.

Dueling. Ms. Goodwitch’s arena had been witness to several spectacular matches and what felt like hundreds of less involving, yet still informative bouts. You had entered yourself a few times. You had tasted victory and defeat in the same manner that all the other students had (with the obvious exception of Pyrrha), but no matter the outcome, the act itself was supremely satisfying.

Today, you had been called to face an individual you had yet to test your mettle against: Yang Xiao Long. Despite the mission the two of you had undertaken, as well as her general temperament, you had never seen her fight outside of this room. What you had seen inside this room gave you some pause. Yang was a relentless force, constantly pressing her opponent into a defensive position with wild punches that always seem to connect, which your slower-to-activate semblance would not appreciate. Even your weapon’s defensive capabilities relied on keeping a target at bay, and Yang, from what you had seen, has spent years mastering getting in close.

Despite the familiar tremor of nervousness as you stepped onto the stage, you keep your composure. Both you and your opponent could have been chiseled from marble, though your expression was one of cautious judgment and hers one of amused ease. Ms. Goodwitch calls for the to of you to shake hands, and you do, albeit with much less force than the first time.

“Good luck,” she tells you with a playful smirk, “You’re gonna need it.” The words annoy just enough to light a small, competitive fire within you. You offer her a cool smile in return and a, “We’ll see,” before returning to your side on the ring. A few moments of silence pass, and then the signal to begin is given.

>A) Charge her! If she relies on constant aggression, beating her to the punch should throw her off balance.
>B) Be on your guard. She can’t do as much damage if you use Langerdorn to keep her out of arm’s reach.

I feel like this and A are the only options that are proactive enough, and I'd rather create an opening to exploit than rely on closing with a brawler.

I'm curious about all the glyph votes when Whitaker mentioned his semblance had a slowish activation rate that didn't stack up too well against Yang's aggressive style.

Hell, you know what? Even if SPWB wasn't really my first choice of team, I really can't deny the narrative and thematic cohesion here. I mean, shit, it's literally implied in the name.

I see what you've done there, and it's very clever, especially since it was there the whole time and only now that it was spelt out can I really see it.

>>1735220
She still has to close first. Preparing a powerful attack to land before she's gotten into her own fighting distance is the best way for us to go about getting the first blow in, because once she's engaged we may not be in a position to use glyphs.

>>1735379
Sounds like a good way to make Yang frustrated, which just makes her (literally) hotter. It'd melt.

>>1735171
The only option when faced with ruthless aggression was a merciless defense. You and Yang move at the same moment, her a full charge and you a small stab forward with Langerdorn. The tip of the spear strikes the arena floor, and a white glyph begins to pulsate around the tiny impact before shifting into a light blue. In the split second it takes you to set up your trap, Yang has already crossed half the arena. She’s fast, but she still has an entire half to go, which gives you enough time to activate the dust trapped within your glyph.

A smooth pillar of ice rushes out of the symbol, and you lose vision of Yang for a moment. Her position reconfirms itself when you hear the sounds of a rough impact and shattering ice. The pillar cracks from the force, but the structure holds. You have to time to appreciate the execution of your plan. You spin around the pillar and see Yang pushing herself out of the small human-shaped hole she’s unwillingly bored.

You can’t give her a moment to get her feet back under her. The defense must be merciless, so you whip Langerdorn around yourself to maximize its momentum before slamming the butt of the staff into the back of her head, which causes Yang to headbutt the ice once again. You swing again, now that you have her in a compromising position, but Yang will not give you this fight for free. An arm flings behind her and catches your weapon.

Yang attempts to rip Langerdorn from your grip, but you hold fast and are flung back towards your side of the arena, spear still in hand. You don’t have much time before Yang frees herself entirely. A quick check confirms that Yang’s aura has dropped significantly from the initial blows, but she’s still at over half her capacity.

>A) Press your advantage with the Ice dust. Get behind her and trap her between two walls of ice.
>B) Get on top of the pillar and prepare for a sneak attack.
>C) She’s weaker than you are now. If you keep her at bay, you should be able to take her in a straight fight.

Not with the wall, though.

She's going to charge again, I'm guessing. Wait for her to commit, then use an ice glyph to create a thin layer on the floor between us. Clothesline her with the haft of the spear, with a follow up coup de grâce if possible.

Yang is going to expect a capitalizing move. Despite being bodily thrown off of your attack, you still hold the advantage, and a quick finish is exactly what you should do. Which means it’s exactly what she’s prepared for. You call another glyph at your feet and launch off of it’s black glow, coming to a halt on top of the icy pillar. You feel your perch lurch as Yang finishes ripping herself out of it, and the wicks of flame licking at her hair tells you two things. Yang is growing frustrated, and you’ve done enough damage for her showy counter-semblance to activate.

You hold your breath, waiting to see where she goes and how to best approach. Yang doesn’t give you the luxury, and pounds an angry fist into the rapidly weakening ice. With a single thunderous crack, the pillar is broken and begins to tip, with you on top of it. The shifting weight draws out a surprised yelp, which draws Yang’s attention. So much for sneaking up on her.

She attacks the tower again, accelerating the drop and forcing you to drop to the floor once again. There’s a moment of stillness before Yang rushes you, and you just barely manage to hold her back. Each driving step she takes forward is met by a probe and a shove from your halberd, keeping her only just away. You can feel the heat from her punches as they pass only inches from your stomach, but they don’t hit, and that’s what matters most.

You feint a sweeping attack off of another block, and Yang dodges a hit that isn’t coming, giving you space to escape the danger zone. You twirl away and the head of Langerdorn snaps in two. By the time you finish the spin, the axe head is fully formed and delivers a vicious bite into the aura hovering above Yang’s lower back.

She shouts in pain and surprise as her aura continues to tick away. With no way to reach you behind her, Yang instead dodges forward and rolls, coming up to face you with an angry scowl under blood red eyes. Both of you break the locked gazes to check aura levels. You’ve been brought to almost half by Yang’s barrage and your rough landing, but Yang herself has only a sliver left, and she’s burning herself out quickly.

>A) Take no risks, show no sportsmanship. Swap to your rifle form and open fire with your dummy rounds until her aura breaks.
>B) Remain cautious. Wait for her to rush you again, and finish her with a flurry from a range when Langerdorn is most comfortable.
>C) Get aggressive. Charge in while she’s still on one knee and end it with a well-placed strike.
>D) Be flashy. A gravity glyph to launch you up, a few twirls for luck, and a massive overhead slam to wipe out the last of her bar.

If Weiss isn't already at rank 10 that'd be pretty sad, considering she's our twin. Unless of course we have to come to an understanding over our opinions on faunus. If not Weiss, it's Blake isn't it? She just willingly revealed herself as a faunus to a Schnee due to trust. That seems like a pretty big deal.

>>1735916

But that still leaves Blake and Penny, though I assume Penny is somewhere around...8?

There's still Nora, Ren, Ruby, Yang, Pyrrha and Jaune. Maybe by the time Jaune's semblance is even revealed, it'll be time to reach rank 6 with him.

>>1735631
Yang may be down, but you haven’t won yet, and you won’t win by playing to her strengths. Landerdorn shrinks in overall size and the blades snap into a hand guard around the trigger. Yang’s eyes widen at your decision, and she’s dodging by the time you pull the trigger. The rounds may not be live, but the sheer impact force from your rifle means you could be firing bean bags and it would take her down in this state.

Your hands work the bolt mechanisms as quickly as you can, and it’s just enough to avoid giving Yang time to move in. She’s forced to jump around and over your shots while flinging wild shots from her gauntlets. Her own dummy rounds land so wide that you don’t bother to dodge.

Eventually, with no progress to be made, none of her desperate attacks landing, and her body rapidly beginning to tire without aura to regenerate her, Yang makes a bad jump and catches a shot to the gut. The impact spins her mid air and she lands on her stomach. You’re worried for a moment when she simply lies there, but Yang pushes herself up with a weary groan. Ms. Goodwitch declares you the winner, and you and Yang excuse yourselves you change back into your uniforms.

(CONTINUED)

>>1736038
You step out of the showers still drying your hair with a towel. The men’s locker room seems to be deserted, but as you move towards your locker, you hear someone clear their throat. Yang is leaning against the row of lockers, dressed in the Beacon uniform, hair still wet from her own shower and a glare in her lilac eyes. You’re glad that you have the foresight to wear waterproof underwear on combat-class days, or this would be a very compromising position to be found in.

“So. What was that supposed to be?” Yang’s tone was alien in her voice. You had heard her angry, disappointed, and happy, but this was something else. A monotone that gave nothing away. Coming from the boisterous young woman, it sent uncomfortable tingling down your spine.

“What was what supposed to be?” you ask, pulling on your pants one leg at a time. “Oh, I dunno,” she snarks, temper flaring a bit, “the way you finished the fight in the most bullshit way possible? We both saw the aura meters. You could’ve won that fight straight up.”

You stop with your undershirt in your hands as you consider her question.

>A) God, how bratty can you get? “If you came here to complain about losing, I don’t want to hear it.”
>B) You were too afraid to get near her. “To be honest? I saw your semblance and I got scared.”
