You stay in the hospital is surprisingly short. You suppose you HAD been asleep for most of it, but two days seems like a very short time to recover from your ordeal. On the other hand, you did feel fine, and most of the issue was flushing your system of whatever they had used to knock you out. Most of your injuries were superficial, except for a dislocated shoulder, and you’re pretty sure you can remember how you had gotten it. A twenty-five-foot drop onto concrete was a rough landing if you aren’t expecting it, even with aura. It’s a miracle you walked away without something more serious.

You’ve been prescribed rest, and with the break between semesters officially beginning during your stay, you’ll have plenty of time for it. Weiss floats the idea of taking you to a therapist, but you shoot the idea down. You don’t need a therapist. You’re seventeen. Of course, that isn’t the only idea Weiss has on how to spend your time.

“How about the beach?” It took a few conversations with Yang and Ruby to understand, but when people in Vale (or basically anywhere south of Atlas) say “the beach,” they’re really talking about an open air stadium made to LOOK like a beach. No one goes to the coasts with Grimm in the oceans. It had all of the essentials, though. Water and sand, but you were mostly worried about…

“Really? Weiss Schnee wants to spend the day baking under the Valish sun?” The Atlesians of your massive group had gotten used to the constant muggy air of Vale, but the idea of willingly subjecting yourself to hours beneath this sun frightens you, and you know Weiss. She’s got less of a heat tolerance than you do. She hesitates for a moment before offering a weak excuse.

“I was going to, uh… Try tanning. Blake said lots of girls in the South do it.” You hum and poke a hole in her reasoning. “You don’t talk to Blake,” you point out. “Then it must have been Yang!” Weiss shouts, tossing her hands into the air in frustration. “Look, can we just go to the beach?!”

>A) Well, your last outing ended in disaster, but you don’t remember stopping any other crime bosses. It should be fine. “Sure, I guess.”
>B) She seems really insistent for some reason. “Weiss, is everything okay?”
>C) No way. The last time you tried to wind down, you had to crawl through a ventilation shaft half-naked. “You go ahead, I’ll stay here.”

Weiss just got fucking broken didn't she?

>>1778744
Weiss HATED this heat. She would never drag you to the beach, of all places, just to have fun. Certainly not for the express intent of exposing herself to the sun. Something else is happening here. “Weiss, is everything okay?” you ask. You’re mindful to keep your voice gentle and calm. If Weiss is worried about something, it’s your mental state. You can’t let her think she has a reason to be concerned. She swallows a lump in her throat and mutters, “Uh… Yeah, everything’s fine…”

“I know you too well, Weiss. Why are you lying to me?” You can see her begin to sweat and shiver as she crosses her arms and looks away. What had you stumbled into to make her so worried?! “Because, I, um…” That was it. Your sister may stumble, she may hesitate, but one thing Weiss does NOT do is stutter. You cross the space between you and pull your twin into a deep and firm hug. “Weiss. You can trust me.”

She gently pushes herself off of you, and you can see the terror in her eyes as she looks up at you. Weiss grimaces, her lips pull back in an attempt to tell you the truth, but something hitches. Her eyes dart to the side, and she blurts the words you’ve been dreading for most of your life, “Well, there’s this guy…”

You take a big step back and leave Weiss clutching the air. “What?!” She flinches at the volume, but she continues. “There was a… Southern guys don’t like pale girls?” Weiss speaks in a halting pattern, and she wears an expression of distaste. “I think I read it in a magazine…”

“You HATE those rags!” Weiss clasps one arm with her free hand and shrugs, “I know, but… Nothing else has been working. Maybe it’s that?” You force your mouth shut from its hanging state and ask, “Wait, then why invite me?”

“Because we can still have fun! We can even invite everyone if you want. Make a day out of it. Please?” It had been some time since Weiss had begged you for anything, but she hadn’t lost any of her skill at doing so. You can’t bring yourself to say no. She said please!

Lets make this comical and have Whitaker a bit of a headache.

Time! I've already explained how this vote works, so in short, everyone is coming!

Unless I misscounted, there were 4 more A only votes.

>>1779287
Wait, what? Hold on, let me check. Haven't started writing yet.

>>1779287
Fuck, misread, I confused B for A, I probably need sleep.

Kinda wanted just our team to join, but I guess Brother says that a vote for B is a vote for every team.

It's alright anon, happens to all of us one point or another.

yeah, fuck my idea. I had, like, six or seven things happening IRL when I came up with that. We'll do the majority, and even keeping the multiple votes thing, B wins. By a lot.
Please don't yell at me. It was very hard to pay attention to what my hands were doing.

If you need time to get real life stuff settled so you can focus I'm sure none of us will begrudge you for it.

The four of you have clear schedules, thankfully, and will for the foreseeable future. You and Weiss aren’t going home until you graduate, Blake insists that the journey home is too dangerous to risk just for a visit, and Penny confides in you that, while the original plan was to have her in Atlas all summer, something had changed the situation and it was deemed safer for her to stay. You’re not sure what would have spooked the Military into defining it as “safer” for her here, but you’ve got no answers forthcoming. You curse your insufficient access. Maybe if you had accepted that job offer from Winter…

No helping it now, you suppose. You’ll just have to do what everyone does when the powers that be get nervous: Keep your head down and try to have some fun. It takes a trip from a Bullhead and a bus to get the entire team to the beach, and when you get there, it’s hard to ignore how many other people are getting there, too. Almost half of the bus steps off with the four of you, and not all of them have had the decency to wait until they got here to put their bathing suit on. Most of those people are… Less than appealing.

The deluge of population doesn’t end at a bus stop, however. A parking deck is stacked ground floor to top with cars. Most of the ones you can see have more than two doors. You worry at the beach being far too crowded, but that’s before you see the massive coliseum. That thing looks like it could eat Beacon and have room for dessert. The awning that folds over the opening even vaguely resembles a gaping, monstrous maw.

You and the rest of the crowd shuffle inside the entrance, and when you allow them to scan your scrolls as proof of your ages (to avoid anyone over 15 taking advantage of child ticket prices), you discover entry is free for Huntsmen and Huntsmen in Training. A nice bonus for all of the work you haven’t technically done yet. Huh. You haven’t been on an ACTUAL mission, now that you think of it. Junior’s arrest had been entirely below board, and you aren’t sure your sister has the authority to conscript trainees the way she did.

The interior makes the most of the space. Even with a building as large as this, the shoreline here can’t hope to reach the sheer scale of most coasts. They’ve compensated by having the sand loop around a large pool of beautiful blue water, where gently rolling waves pulse from the center. The group splits, leaving you on your own as you approach and use the men’s locker room to change into a simple pair of white trunks. The legs don’t quite reach your knees, and you're a little worried about them floating up to show off your thighs. Not letting people see the outline of your butt was the whole reason you preferred trunks.

(CONTINUED)

>>1779907
You step back on the sand with a towel around your neck and look for the girls. You can’t see them. It’s likely they’re still changing, not many other places for them to have hidden. You guess this means you get first pick for the team activity. What are you feeling?

It gets everywhere.

>>1780037
So Penny is assured to be able to participate.

>>1779916
The water looks great and feels better. The lake has been backing under the sun all day long, and the currents have adopted a relaxing temperature that reminds you of Atleasian hot tubs. You still prefer it when the air is colder than the water, but this isn’t a bad second place. You soak for a few moments and dunk your head to get used to the sensation of the water. When you come back up, your teammates are standing on the shore in their swimwear. Blake and Penny are looking away from you with furious blushes on their cheeks. They must not be used to being so exposed around so many people. You and Weiss don’t have that problem, you’ve been on newspapers and gossip rags since you were old enough to leave the house.

Case in point, while both Weiss and Blake have a two piece, only Weiss is standing confidently instead of trying to cover her stomach. “Having fun?” she asks with a raised eyebrow. You splash at her and say as she squeals and takes a step back, “You guys were taking too long!” You laugh as she kicks some water at you in retaliation, but break your laughter with a question, “So, you still just going to tan?”

Blake raises an eyebrow at her and gives her pale skin a quick appraisal, but Weiss doesn’t notice. “Actually, I remember specifically asking us to come together,” she answers, “and that implies we’ll be doing things together.” Weiss doesn’t dive into the water like you did. Rather, she calmly walks forward and sinks into the waves. She has to stop a few feet before she gets to you, though. She can’t go any further without the water beginning to rise to her chin, whereas you can still comfortably stand on the lakebed with your shoulders clearing the surface. It’s good to be the “big” brother.

Blake and Penny hesitate on the water’s edge, and you almost ask what’s wrong before you catch sight of Blake’s bow, still in place despite the complete outfit change. Oh. Right. It might come off if her head goes underwater. Penny has a similar (well, much more dramatic, but still similar) secret, and you aren’t sure she ever told you that her mechanical parts were waterproof. Half your team doesn’t feel like they can join in. That sort of defeats the point, doesn’t it?

>A) Convince them to risk it, subtly. “Come on! We aren’t going to drown you or anything!”

You turn to give Weiss a quick response. “Well, I don’t think floating here counts as ‘doing’ something. Penny, Blake, any ideas?” you ask, and the two look at each other. There’s a beat or two where it seems the two are having a silent conversation, an exchange of ideas that you yourself had shared with your sister once or twice. It’s a fascinating effect, and one you’re glad to see. Maybe insisting on practicing with just your partners was a good idea. The staring contest is broken by Penny, and she watches you and Weiss crawl out of the sea with pink cheeks. Can robots sunburn?

“How about volleyball?” That sounds good to you. Blake offers no objection, and neither does Weiss. What Blake does have is a question. “What are the teams?”

>A) “We should do partners. You and Penny, me and Weiss.”

Whew, really sorry about the pace today guys. I'm not QUITE sure if I'm free, I'll have to check, but to make it up to you, I'm willing to run tomorrow. If I'm free.

You will have to cut me a little slack though, and let me pick up the rest of your beach trip. We've still got more to go through besides just playing games with the girls.

Sound fair all around?

>>1780736
Sounds fine to me

>>1780585
You and Weiss are set up opposite of your other teammates. You roll your shoulders in an attempt to work the tension out as Penny tosses up to serve. The first hit sails far above you, and only begins to drop when in Weiss’s range. She pops it back into the air and in your direction. It may be early in the game, but you know a spike when you see one. You jump and smash the ball like it owes you money, kicking up sand around the impact and earning yourself and Weiss the first point. It’s a brutal opening, and it sets the tone for the rest of the game.

Volleyball isn’t a contact sport, but if it were, you’d have worried about walking away with broken bones. The power the girls were putting into every hit made your skin sting whenever you came into contact with the ball, and it had never followed that gentle up and down curve after the very first. Now, attempts to score were propelled up by one partner and shot forward by the other in a dizzying display of what trained aura users bring to competitive sports. At one point, the four of you stop using your partners entirely and simply jump and knock the ball away, resulting in a nearly four minute long period where the ball never dips below the top of the net.

Your competition begins to draw a crowd of civilians, some of which had likely never seen Huntsmen at work and how far one could go. There are whistles and cheers at every bump, and you could swear to have seen a few old men exchanging money after a particularly vicious burial delivered by Penny. Despite the ferocity of the competition, it’s obvious that you and Weiss are much more coordinated.

Physically, all of Team SPWB stood on relatively equal footing (save for your longer reach and Penny’s artificial strength and endurance, though it seems she’s holding herself to human standards in the interest of fairness), but the twins dominate through better teamwork. Blake and Penny fail to win a single set, and in one particularly embarrassing example, Penny manages to tackle her unaware teammate into the sand. Blake is still taking a few moments to spit out more of it and brush it out of her hair by the final match, a match ended by Weiss when she delivers a stunning overhead kick to the innocent sphere and sends it careening into dirt beneath the sand. That was your favorite part of this game, you think. Every body part is legal.

(CONTINUED)

>>1780891
The crowd disperses on the conclusion on your game (though not without congratulations for you and Weiss or sympathies for Blake and Penny), leaving only a few stragglers. One of them drags another towards you, and a vague recollection forces you to pay attention. The girls notice you staring, and they too consider the two young men. One, a blonde Faunus in red trunks, and the other a blue-haired teen in another set of red trunks. The Faunus is waving at you as he pulls his friend along.

“Hey, Schnee! That was awesome, man!” Where have you heard that voice before? A growl from Weiss causes it all to come rushing back. The chase, the excuses, and a name. Sun Wukong. That fact brings to mind one other thing: Your sister hates Sun Wukong.

Done for tonight, guys. Again, I'll try and run tomorrow if I can.

Well, guys, I'm not gonna be able to run to tonight like I thought. IRL stuff's come up, we'll have to push off to tomorrow.

I have a joke for you all.

One last squirt of piss in my breakfast for the summer. The house has a problem I need to fix, and I'm moving back to school tomorrow. Expect a small delay, 2-3 days. No more than a week.

>>1785404

>>1785404

That's a bad sign.

Looks like I'll be able to pick up again on Wednesday, same time as usual. Assuming I don't go blind because of the eclipse.

>>1795781
I don't mean to be rude, BrotherQM, but are you going to address any of the criticisms about lack of security that were brought up last thread? They look pretty valid, and it's never good when you have people asking if everyone who could have protected us were juggling idiot balls.

The abduction itself makes sense. I can see Neo being able to do it, but sneaking into the our room afterwards is insane. That means not only did Ozpin not give a fuck that someone broke into a student's room and abducted them (which should have some pretty hefty consequences in itself), but that neither Winter, Father, or the police thought we'd need some protection until we were healed. Which is just fundamentally stupid when our testimony might be needed.

>>1796564
I asked something similar in Discord, and didn't get any real answer

>>1796564
>>1796570
Blake and Neo are trained assassins (practically in Blake's case, literally in Neo's) and, while the room was guarded, no one was guarding it from inside (you'll fuck up your patients mentally with armed guards standing over their helpless unmoving bodies, even if they're on your side). So Blake used the window (avoidance, Dishonored style stealth) and Neo disguised herself as an actual employee and walked in with credentials (Hitman style stealth). I didn't mention the guards themselves because it honestly just didn't matter for what was happening in those scenes. Blake and Neo are so far above your average foot soldier grunt who'd be pulling guard duty that describing them moving around them would've bogged those scenes down when all that needed to be established was:
A: How Blake feels and
B: Neo can kill you, but won't.

We didn't linger on how badass they are because we already know.

>>1797582
Well get used to it, thanks to education Brother's probably going to be running weekly

>>1797626
Yeah, I'll fiddle with the schedule a bit abd see what I come up with. As of right now, looks like it'll be on Wednesdays or Saturdays (I'll let you guys decide, feel free to reply and vote here) because those are the days before my days off. So, you know, no bed time. Whichever one you don't pick is probably going to get stuffed with a new Quest idea that I had. I'll link it in the discord and here when it starts, for anyone who's here for the writing more than the setting. As of right this second, Gemini is Wednesdays and Neww Quest is Saturdays, but I can flip that around easily next week.

>>1797800
I wanna be Pyrrha's twin. Patroclus Quest sounds amazing

>>1797829
It's not a RWBY Quest, but I'm glad to hear you're excited about... Something.

>>1780900
There’s a tension in the air that only you can feel, even as you return Sun’s friendly wave. You’ve been caught in a web of explosive circumstances that only you fully understand. While you may have shouted it at her, you have no idea if Weiss retained the idea that Sun was afraid of your family. His bold approach now wasn’t likely to help her remember. You love your sister, you really do, but you also know she’s had a hard time with, well, Faunus. Especially ones with a flagrant disrespect for authority. Normally, that would be manageable. Embarrassing, but manageable.

With Blake present, however, things have gotten much more complicated. Weiss still has no idea that her either of her teammates aren’t human, and Blake is sensitive enough about it that she hides her true nature even when Faunus are, for the most part, accepted. If Weiss lets something untoward slip where Blake can hear… You don’t want to think about the ramifications, or what it could mean for the team.

“Why didn’t you tell us you were gonna be here?!” Sun has a smile a mile long, undeterred by both his nervous teammate and your sister’s venomous presence. You have to admire his poker face. Or his idiocy. “I don’t have your number, and I don’t know who this is,” you point out, and Sun barely reacts before shoving the blue haired beachgoer forward.

“Oh, right, this is Neptune! He’s my partner, from Haven.” You and Neptune exchange a quiet greeting, and while he gives nervous nods to the rest of your team, you consider your options.

>A) Let it happen. Blake can’t expect Weiss to be sensitive to issues she doesn’t know about. That isn’t fair to your sister.
>B) Take Weiss aside and give her a warning. Without outing Blake, of course. “Look, I know you don’t like him, but for my sake, keep it to yourself. Please?”
>C) Get Sun out of here. Nothing will happen if he’s not around to cause it. “Hey, have you guys seen the center of the lake? They’ve got real turtles in there!”
>D) This is ridiculous! You are not getting caught up in a juggling act of hurt feelings. Take Blake aside and ask her to clue Weiss into her Faunustry before something bad happens.

You’ve kept Blake’s secret for over a month. You’ve kept Weiss in check during her less diplomatic moments for years. You’ve been balancing the needs of all of your team and friends for six months straight, and you’re just tired of it. This is your beach day off. Someone else can be responsible for this mess. So, who to talk to… Blake, Weiss, and Sun are the ones you want to avoid, and Penny is beginning to take notice of Weiss’s dirty looks. You’d like to keep her out of it, but unfortunately for her, you’ve already washed your hands of it. Guess that leaves…

“Neptune?” He jumps at the acknowledgement, but swiftly settles into a much more relaxed stance and gives you a confident, bordering on cocky, smirk. “Oh, hey, you’re… Whitaker, right?” Whatever was hogging his attention and forcing a more nervous demeanor had, apparently, totally slipped his mind now that he had you to focus on. You confirm your name and distract yourself from the metaphorical storm cloud behind you with some small talk.

“What’s Haven like? I’ve heard some things about Mistral,” not anything good, you say to yourself, “but everyone sort of skipped over the Academy.” Neptune tilts his head as if he were shaking water from his ear canal before he answers, “It’s not that much different from Beacon. From what I saw, they’re both just hallways, classrooms, and dorms too small for four people.” You shrug at the concept and move on to something a little more interesting.

“So, what was initiation like?” Neptune’s smirk widens into a shark-like grin as he recalls the ordeal. “They gave us a package and told us to deliver it to a village not too far out of the city before the sun went down. It sounded really easy, but the thing is, they secretly had people along the way who’d ask you for help. Stuff like changing a wagon wheel or chopping down firewood. Anyone who didn’t help somebody failed, and the rest of us were paired up based on how often we stopped.” You recount your own, thankfully much shorter ordeal with initiation, and the two of you naturally move on to the misadventures you’d had since then.

You’re chuckling at his recollection of a team “ABRN” and one member’s attempts to grind down the academy’s roof when a sudden explosion of yelling overtakes the hissing argument that had been building between your team and Sun. You turn to see Weiss, Penny, and Sun standing frozen with shocked expressions and a large cloud of sand being kicked up as Blake runs. You were gone for all of two minutes! What the hell had happened?!
