Whit, Whit, he's our man!
If he can't do it, no one can!

Weiss is tapping a finger against her crossed arms as she absorbs everything you told her. You and your sister, at your insistence, are spending a few days, at the very least, away from the team. You told Blake and Penny it was to buy you time to work through this latest discovery with Weiss, and while that certainly is part of it, another part was being able to sleep. The swell of emotions that accompanied and prompted your acceptance of Blake’s past had given way to a tingling paranoia that you had assumed left your team once you learned the truth about Penny.

You couldn’t help it. The sensation of danger was constant around her now that you knew, and during the entire walk back to the beach you had been coiled with unconsciously summoned tension. You aren’t sure if she noticed, but you hope not. Some part of you is scared of how she’ll react, the resolution she built crumbling due to a single flinch. Another part is simply scared of Blake. That’s an uncomfortable position to be in. In all of your fantasies about joining a team of Huntsmen, you never imagined being afraid of one of them.

“I don’t understand.” Weiss’s voice cuts through your daydreaming and brings you back into the hotel room you shared. Currently, you mean. You had paid for separate rooms. She shakes her head at a spot on the floor as she works through your mentality.

“I know why you’re nice to Whitley. He’s family, and that means something, even if he is insufferable. I know why you’re nice to father, for the same reasons. I don’t know why you’re so… Relaxed with strangers you’ve never met, but I don’t question it. It’s what makes you Whitaker, really. To be honest, I admire that.” You can see where she’s going with this from a mile away, but you can’t stop yourself from smiling. Weiss never lays out her feelings like this to anyone else, and it’s always nice to know she’s got something good to say about you.

(CONTINUED)

“But this isn’t like you. You’re calm, not uncaring. You don’t brush things off when they go wrong, but this is WAY beyond wrong, and you aren’t DOING anything about it!” Weiss’s voice is beginning to rise as she reaches the emotional crux of her internal conflict. Her gaze leaves the floor and settles on you, and the crossed arms separate to gesture along with her questioning, “There was someone in the White Fang, someone who wanted to kill us, in our room! On our team! Why don’t you care?!”

>A) Even if you don’t feel as sure as you’d like, you’re the team leader. You can’t afford to second guess yourself, it could destabilize the team. “I don’t care because it’s over. It has been for months. She left, Weiss. Everyone deserves a second chance.”
>B) She’s your sister. If there’s anyone on the team you can confide in, it’s Weiss. “To be honest with you… I’m scared. Trying to pretend it never happened isn’t making me feel any better, but I’d be even more afraid of what I’d be if I didn’t even give her a chance.”
>C) Point out the obvious. Weiss always has trouble working through things when she’s upset. “If anything was going to happen, it would have happened by now. She slept next to us for almost six months.”
>D) Why did you decide to help Blake? You can’t recall what, exactly, you were thinking at the time, but now that you’ve had some time to think it over… [Write In]

You've been doing your best as a leader. It hasn't been perfect. You've accepted blame when you didn't need to and hid things from your team. Maybe it's time to try a different approach. “To be honest with you…” It’s hardly a monumental task to simply tell your sister how you feel, but nonetheless, you struggle to continue. Weiss takes note of the lurch in your voice, and the panic that was slowly beginning to color her features as the discussion went on fades completely, to be replaced by concern. You swallow the small lump in your throat and try again.

“I’m scared.” The confession draws a small intake of breath that you wouldn’t have heard if you hadn’t been expecting it. You hadn’t told Weiss how much your kidnapping had scared you. Even your near-misses with the White Fang didn’t elect those words from you. It wasn’t that the experiences hadn’t terrified you, but when it was over, it was over. You didn’t have to worry about seeing Torchwick in class the next day. On second thought, that would be better. At least you could fight Torchwick if he HAD shown up again.

“Trying to pretend it never happened isn’t making me feel any better, but I’d be even more afraid of what I’d be if I didn’t even give her a chance.” With your feelings on the matter laid out, Weiss rushes to cover them. She takes a seat on the bed beside you and lays a gentle hand on your shoulder. “I’m not going to let anything happen to you,” she swears, “and I guess… You did what you thought was right. Like you always do.” The small smile she had built up slips away, as does her steadying hand, and she falls back on the hotel mattress with a frustrated sigh. “I still think it’s a bad idea to just keep it to ourselves, but I know how you are, so I won’t bother asking.”

You mimic her flop, without the sigh, and the two of you spend a moment staring at nothing on the ceiling before you think of something you should probably mention. “While I’m being honest,” you start, “I need to tell you something else.” Weiss hums a question, and you glance over to see her eyes closed. She must have been trying to calm down and lured herself into a half-nap.

“I’ve known Blake was a Faunus for three months.” The bed rocks as Weiss rockets upwards into a sitting position and whirls to stare at your prone form.

“Are you serious! Is there anything else you forgot to tell me?!”

>A) Why not? It’s not like she’ll believe you. “Yeah, Penny’s a robot.”
>B) This entire secret keeping business blew up in your face with this. Of course, you couldn’t have predicted Blake was former White Fang, but you also have no idea what Penny’s handlers are planning. It may best to let her know sooner rather than later. “Give me a second, I have to talk to Penny.”
>C) Keep your mouth shut. “Nope, that was it.”

Don't really like any of those options. I'd go for B if it didn't immediately out Penny as keeping a fairly serious secret. That one is classified. There is an Atlas government stamp on this file saying 'no, Whit, you do not get to tell people about this.' Talking to Penny about it is fine. Telling Weiss Penny is involved first is very much not.
So,
>D) Yes, but this one I am legally not allowed to tell anyone without permission.

“Hold on, I need to…” Actually, it’d be a bad idea to tell Weiss who you were about to call. If Penny doesn’t agree, it’d out her as having a secret. “... Use the bathroom,” you finish, and swing yourself up to rush into the safety of the porcelain bunker. You fish your scroll out of your pocket and dial Penny’s number, and after only a ring or two, she picks up.

“Hello, Whitaker! Are you and Weiss coming back from your vacation?” Her chipper voice and, apparently, honest question makes the corner of your mouth twitch.

“No, Penny. And we aren’t on vacation, we’re still in Vale. I’m just calling to ask you something.”

“I am doing well, thank you! I believe Blake is okay as well, but she seemed upset when I answered you. She told me to tell you she is not here.” There’s a moment where neither of you speak, and then you hear Penny’s voice from slightly further away. She must have covered the receiver. “Blake! I told Whitaker you are not here!”

That wasn’t what you were going to ask at all, but there’s no reason to point that out to her. “That’s good to hear, Penny. Let me know when she gets back,” you can’t stop yourself from grinning in the mirror as you imagine how Blake is taking Penny’s fumble. You were going to miss them expecting her to act like a normal human being when they found out the truth.

“Penny? I think it’s time to let someone else know about… You.” The silence that follows is crushing, but eventually Penny responds in a small voice, “Why?”

“This thing with Blake and the White Fang… It hasn’t gone over well. It almost broke this team. I don’t know if we can survive another surprise like that, and you and I both know another one is coming.” There’s another long, pregnant pauses.

“I think… I think you’re right… I’ve been thinking about it for a few months now, but I wasn’t sure… Are you going to tell Weiss?”

“That’s the idea.”

“Should I tell Blake?”

>A) Let’s get everyone on the same page at once. “Sure. It’ll be good for her to hear she wasn’t the only one with secrets.”
>B) You’d like to handle this one personally. “Maybe wait for me to do it, Penny. I think I’ve got a knack for this whole ‘confession’ thing.”
>C) Keep Blake out of the loop. “Let’s keep it between us for now, Penny. Blake still has a long way to go before I’m willing to trust her with this.”

You close the bathroom door with a thunk and step out to see Weiss on your bed and looking at her scroll. Given what you can see from the transparent rear of the screen, you’d guess it was a news report on another White Fang attack in Atlas. You approach, apparently unnoticed, and gently push her hands together to close the scroll. “I need to tell you something.”

“What?” Weiss tucks her scroll away and sits up, eye level with you when you take a seat in one of the chairs provided. “It’s about Penny,” you begin, but you’re interrupted by an outraged gasp. “You’ve got to be KIDDING me, Whitaker! Have you honestly been hiding secrets about everyone from me?!” Weiss is, there really isn’t a more eloquent way to put it, pissed. She’s pushed herself up from her seated position and has gone pink in anger, lips pulled back into a genuine snarl.

She had been pretty calm so far during your stay at Beacon, but you recognize this. This isn’t Weiss when she wants to make a point, and it isn’t Weiss when she wants something. This is Weiss when she’s angry. You don’t like her when she’s angry. “I made a promise to both of them, Weiss. You know I don’t break promises.” It forces her sneer into an angry pout, but it isn’t much better. “Fine, but this had better be good!” she demands.

“Alright… Penny is a robot.” You can’t think of any other way to phrase or dance around it. Weiss is stunned into silence, her jaw hanging in disbelief at what you just said. “What. Whitaker, if this is supposed to be some kind of joke, it’s very bad timing!” She’s working herself up again, so you lean forward and hold you gaze against hers, fingers steepled in your lap. “Weiss. I swear to you, on our grandfather’s grave, Penny is a robot.”

She sputters a series of incoherent noises before biting down on them. Weiss is motionless for a few moments, staring at you with a frozen expression of confusion and scrutiny, before it dissolves into another angry glare. “This isn’t funny, Whitaker. This is NOT funny!” Weiss flings her feet off your bed and stomps towards the door. You flinch at the sound of it slamming, and again a second later when the door across the hall mimics the sound. You… Really messed that up. Maybe you shouldn’t have brought up Grandfather.

>A) Go talk to her now. Stewing on it isn’t going to help anyone, and you really do need to make her understand the truth about Penny.

I treated a 99 special one time, because they called what you were rolling for when they did it. Otherwise, a 100 is just as good as a 99. Unless the DC is 100.

It’s not going to be fun, but you should settle this with Weiss before it gets out of hand. Grandfather is a soft spot for both of you. You step into the hall and knock on Weiss’s door. You don’t get an answer, but you do get a sense of deja vu. “Weiss,” you call into the door crack, “I’m not leaving until you aren’t mad at me.” You get a mumbled call back with three distinct syllables. She either said “It’s unlocked” or “Go away.” You give the knob a twist and the door opens without further fanfare.

The room is a perfect mirror of yours, save for Weiss’s scowling form glaring at you from a chair. “If you’re here to apologize, then get on with it,” she tells you, but her tone is dismissive, not angry. You hope that’s as bad as this second attempt at a conversation gets. “You know me, Weiss. I care about Grandfather, and his legacy, as much as you do.”

“Then why are you joking around with it?” she huffs, her arms crossing again as she leans back in her chair. “I’m not,” you tell her, and she rolls her eyes. “Please. You expect me to believe Penny, Penny Polendina, only daughter of the most famous engineer in Atlas, is a robot?”

“The most famous roboticist in Atlas,” you point out. “He’s made her for the military. I think she’s the next step in Ironwood’s ‘no risk to human life’ policy. A prototype.” You pull out your scroll and send a quick message, and let Weiss continue to debate you.

“Why would they send a prototype to Beacon? Atlas has a-” She cuts herself off by raising both of her hands and pushing herself up by the armrests. “No. No, I am not going to get into a debate about the logistics of secret android huntresses. Because those don’t exist, Whitaker. That’s just insane.” You scroll buzzes, and you whip it out to confirm it’s what you wanted. It is, and you flip the image towards Weiss without a word.

“Oh, that’s cute. You got someone to draw up ‘schematics,’ I didn’t know you had any artist friends.” Weiss’s sarcastic tone and expression dies as her eyes flick over the name of the contact who sent the message.

(CONTINUED)

>>1825527
“Why did Winter have this?” You hand her the scroll so that she can look over the image in detail while you explain. “In case of emergency,” you reply, “If Penny gets injured, we need a complete map of her systems to be able to fix her without drawing attention.” Weiss’s eyes are growing wider by the second, and she’s gone pale. It’s hard to tell with your family, but she’s definitely pale.

“That’s an official Atlas Military seal… It’s real… Oh my God, this is real, isn’t it?” You give her a quick nod, and she collapses onto her bed. “We’re on a team with a terrorist and a… A robot…” You give her a sympathetic look before turning back towards her door, your scroll in hand. “Let’s sleep on it,” you tell her, flicking the light off. You get a groan in response, and in your rapidly adjusting vision, you can see Weiss’s eyes are still wide open. “Good night.”

You return to your room with a slight buzzing in the back of your skull. You made much progress just now. Everyone’s secrets (as far as you know) have been swept away in just under twenty-four hours, leaving your team confused, hurt, and afraid. But still together. There’s a poignant phrase that applies to this situation. The only way left is up. Still, even with your new found optimism, it’s best to keep Weiss separated from the team and you from Blake right now. So, how are you and your sister spending day two of your vacation?

>A) A kidnapping and near-team-shattering event has taught you one thing: Whitaker Schnee does not take breaks. You’ll spend tomorrow making sure all of Torchwick’s assets are locked down and accounted for.
>B) You can’t see your own team, with Blake still suspect and Penny needed to keep Blake from feeling abandoned, but that doesn’t stop you from meeting up with RYAL or CNRP.
>C) Maybe you can enjoy a day out with Winter without it ending in a chase, now that Sun is a known ally and Torchwick is behind bars.

I want to go with option A out of sheer practicality, but I think it'd be meta-gamey bullshit for Whitaker to go THAT far after already putting up with so much. Real people need rest, and should expect that others can handle their fucking jobs. Winter and the police and whoever else should be dealing with Torchwick. Neo almost killed Whit, but he doesn't know that.

Tie between A and C. I'll let the voting period drag a bit, but if there's no tie breaker, I'll take care of it.

>>1825533
You throw off your covers and go through your usual morning routine of dressing, brushing, and washing yourself to your typical standards. It takes more time than usual, and while you aren’t planning to rest on your laurels, there’s no schedule for you to keep to, so it doesn’t bother you to slow down a little. A few knocks on Weiss’s door rouses her, but she takes much longer than you do. By the time she steps out, ready but still yawning into her hand, you’ve beaten almost half of your latest download on your scroll.

The two of you walk up and down the streets of Vale, checking on places like the warehouse you were kept in and the club Junior ran, as well as anywhere that turns up when you ask people where men dressed in Junior’s colors could be found. Most of them weren’t willing to say, or didn’t know, but the few who were willing and able give you enough addresses to whittle away the morning.

With the Valish sun beating down on your backs, you and Weiss take a lunch break to grab something to eat. Preferably something as cold as Atlas’s outer walls. The ice cream parlor you walk into feels like home, but with more color and friendlier faces. The two of you get your orders from a short girl behind the counter, who for some reason wouldn’t stop glaring daggers at you even as you paid her. Maybe you interrupted her break.

“So, has you marching us all around Vale actually accomplished anything?” Weiss asks between small spoonfuls. “Sure,” you reply, “Now we know where they aren’t hiding.” Your sister rolls her eyes and groans at your pedantic answer.

“Whitaker, we’ve made absolutely no progress! I don’t even know what you think we’re DOING! Torchwick is in jail, Junior is in jail, and everywhere and everyone related to those two has been taken into custody!”

“Not everyone.” Despite only one sentence interrupting Weiss, there are two voices speaking. You lean around your sister to spot a pair of girls in matching outfits, mirrored by color. The rest of them is identical, and if they aren’t twins, then neither are you and Weiss. “Can we help you?” you ask, already reaching for your stored weapon.

(CONTINUED)

>>1825740
“Yeah, actually, we were looking for the pair of losers who got our boss thrown in jail.” The white one’s voice grates on your ears, and the unpleasant sensation is capped by Red popping her gum loud enough to make you flinch. As if you didn’t have enough of a reason to fight.

These two are obviously working for either Roman or Junior, a theory confirmed when they lower themselves into a fighting stance and Red’s wrists dispense two hidden blades each. White shift her feet slightly, already angling for a kick aimed roughly at the mid section, and the movement making light glint off of the steel making up her heels. You stand and draw Langerdorn, Weiss and Myrtenaster right behind you. Twins versus twins. You really should have expected this at some point.

And that's that for tonight, tune in same time this Saturday to kick the dog shit out of Militia and Melanie, aka: Prototype Ruby and your sister!

You CAN'T tell me you saw what this quest was and didn't expect the "MC & sis v. Melanie and Militia" showdown at some point? I've been rolling for it basically whenever you and Weiss are:

2: Not 100% safe.

>>1825765
Welp, time to fight them like we fought Yang.
Laming it the fuck out like it's X Tekken.

I mean, if we could beat their total superior in hand-to-hand combat with that strategy, it should work well here too.

Either that or Whitaker uses his boyish charm to earn a new pair of secretaries.

The parlor doesn’t have much in the way of cover unless you plan on flipping the tables over, but you can’t spot any barrels on their weapons. Do these two just not carry guns? If not, then your next obvious concern is space. The tables are crammed into each other, and it’ll be damn near impossible to take advantage of Langerdorn’s reach with them in the way. It’s probably why they waited for you and Weiss to enter a building before attacking.

The White twin rushes you while the Red one attacks Weiss, and while you can keep her at bay for a few moments, your attempts to avoid tripping as you backpedal create openings for her to chip away at your aura with deadly kicks. You’d prefer to end this fight with minimal damage to the store, but if she’s not going to make it an option…

You focus on defending yourself, intentionally slowing your counter attacks to force her to be more aggressive. As soon as she overextends her leg to reach you, you twist Langerdorn and jab it forward, catching her stomach with the shaft. Conventional experience would usually make you immediately pull back to begin winding the next strike, but this time you continue to push with everything you and your aura can give.

You sweep the White twin off of her feet and through the window. It takes only half a second for the glass to settle, and when it does, you’ve taken a position in the window frame, ready and waiting for her counter attack. It doesn’t come, and you see her lying face down and motionless on the sidewalk in a pile of broken glass.

>>1833711
Eh. It'd get boring if Whitaker succeeded all the time. Sometimes he needs to get a heel in a bad place to keep his journey fresh.

>>1833593
You’re certain that anyone with aura could have taken that hit without issue, but she still isn’t moving. There’s a chill in your spine as you consider the implications. You didn’t go all out against a girl without aura, did you?! You hop out of the window and into the street to stand over your former enemy. You still can’t see any movement, not even a twitch. Winter, and your instructors at Beacon have repeatedly drilled in that you shouldn’t move anyone you suspect of being injured. You haven’t had the proper training and you could aggravate the injury. Those lessons melt away at the sight of a motionless body, so you grab her shoulder and flip her onto her back.

She still doesn’t respond, and you lean in, placing your ear directly over her nose and mouth. You hold your breath and wait for a relieving sigh of air, but it doesn’t come. Panic starts to grip your heart. The only way you know to resuscitate someone who isn’t breathing is CPR, and you aren’t even sure if it applies in this situation. Isn’t CPR for drowning? There’s no time to debate yourself!

Every second you waste is a second she’s going without oxygen, so you take a deep breath and press your lips against hers. You push the air in your lungs into her mouth, but you’re surprised when air pushes back. You choke on your own life-saving breath and let it out in a pained groan. It takes you a moment to recognize what happened. It had been years since someone had done it, but a man never forgets the sensation of a knee in the gonads. You fall to your side and clutch at your injury while your patient pushes herself off the ground in a mad scramble to get away from you.

“What the hell is WRONG with you!?” You get the feeling she’d say more, but she’s too busy wiping at her mouth to use it properly. With nothing to concentrate on but either the pain or how close a serrated heel had been to your tenderness, your mind takes the third option of putting together what had happened. She must have been holding her breath, playing dead until you would have turned your back. She didn’t expect you to try and save her. Though from her reaction, you don’t think she realized your intentions.

An aura backed knee with your defenses lowered leaves you floored long enough for the White twin to regain her composure. She steps towards you with murder in her eyes, but you never get a chance to see what she has planned. Another small white form collides with her, sending your enemy to the ground and leaving Weiss standing tall in her place. This time, the other twin stays down.

Weiss spends a moment taking in your situation, and to her credit, she manages to keep a straight face for a few seconds before the giggling starts. “Shut up and call the police…” you groan. You remove one of your hands and try to push yourself up, but the attempt sends a wave of nausea through you and you amend your statement.

“Call an ambulance…”

(CONTINUED)

Sorry for the lack of choice here, but it was getting pretty long and I didn't want to leave you all hanging on until the next interactive part.

>>1833918
Do it anyways, accidental pervert Shnee is funny.

No shit, I assumed, next time make it best of 5. It takes a solid minuet even with spamming the damn update button to see your shit. Then some retards rolled and got a few of our future kids murdered....and our ass getting put up on the equivalent of Valetube with the caption, richest nutshot ever.

>>1833996
If you do the math, a Best of Five would have made that roll a literal 99.99% chance of success. It was already a 98.85%. There was only a 1,15% chance of failing and, amazingly, you guys did. The DC was really low.

A Best of 5 means Whitaker never fails again, full stop.

>>1834026
Pretty much this. The point of rolling dice at all is that we're taking a chance. No need to dilute that with more rolls.

If anything, I wouldn't mind doing just two rolls for an extremely difficult task...

>>1834026
Well, now we have a funny story to tell the rest of the team once vacation is over. Being playfully razzed on by the rest of our team is more interesting to me than winning a random encounter.

>>1834026
Keep doing what you're doing man, best of 3d100 is as good a system as any when you're eyeballing DCs

The fact that you actually acknowledge the statistics behind it tells me a lot, anyway.

>>1833914
You are, once again, sitting in the police department, though this time in Winter’s temporary office rather than one of the less inviting interview rooms. You're nursing a bruise on your arm with an ice pack, despite Winter’s insistence you use it elsewhere. You don’t care how much swelling you have, you are not groping yourself in front of your sisters. Winter is updating something on her computer while Weiss sits and looks as far away from you as she can without making it obvious. At least she’s trying to be nice about your defeat.

The two of you, and Winter, are waiting for a man you didn’t expect to see for at least another few weeks: Headmaster Ozpin. According to Winter, he had made a request to speak to all of you only moments after Weiss’s call to the police went through, and so the two of you had been taken along with the other set of twins, albeit in a different car. And without restraints.

You can’t imagine what he may want to talk to you about, and the idle speculation you’re coming up with isn’t very probable. Of course, that’s not the only question on your mind right now…

“Winter?” You ask, breaking the not-uncomfortable silence that had settled over the three of you. She hums in acknowledgement, not breaking eye contact with her work.

“Does it count, if- uh…” You trail off, not sure how to phrase your concern. Winter would know if CPR would count, but just coming out and asking made you feel foolish before you had even finished the question. It shouldn’t, right? Then again, what SHOULD be and what would concern whoever you did share that moment with were two different things. Did it count to girls?

“Yes?” Winter is waiting for a question, even taking her eyes off the screen to look at you and see if you were okay. You lose your nerve. You shouldn’t be asking for advice about girls at your age. “Nevermind,” you wave her off, and your older sister seems fine with returning to her work. The next few minutes of silence are slightly less comfortable than they were before you spoke, and while it’s not unbearable, you do feel a quiet, subdued relief when Winter informs you that Ozpin has arrived and wants to speak with you first.

(CONTINUED)

You take a small journey to another interview room, where Ozpin waits inside slowly sipping on a cup of coffee. He gestures for you to take a seat with a half nod and a warm smile, so you do.

“You are quite difficult to get a hold of, Mr. Schnee. I’ve been meaning to have this talk for a few days now, but it felt… Inappropriate to bring certain topics up at the foot of your hospital bed.” The words set you on edge, despite the radiating calm from your professor. “I thought I’d give you a day or so to get settled, but when I approached your teammates, they informed me that you and your sister would be spending some time away from your dorm. It’s nothing unusual, many of our students take the summer off to return to their families.” He sets his mug aside, slowly and deliberately.

“But that isn’t why the two of you left. You didn’t even return to Atlas. And given what I’ve been meaning to ask you, young man, it makes it very difficult to believe you had innocent reasons for taking this vacation from campus.” You swallow involuntarily. Despite looking, for all the world, like a friendly teacher in his early middle ages, Ozpin seemed incredibly intimidating at the moment.

“During your kidnapping, there was a massive and violent incident. A confrontation involving the gang you were held prisoner by and another, smaller group. Many people were injured.” He lets his words hang before clasping his hands on the table, “A few were… Worse. Perpetrators from both sides were captured and interrogated. This ‘Junior’s’ men claimed ignorance as to what had sparked the conflict, but a few of the other group confessed to be operating under the orders of a man they call ‘Snow.’ They were to find someone - you.”

“I would like nothing more than to believe you were entirely innocent of any wrongdoing, Whitaker, but your flight into the city, to go who knows where for who knows why creates very unfortunate implications and leads me to very uncomfortable questions. We’ll begin with the easiest.”

“Why did you leave campus immediately after your ordeal?”

>A) Tell the truth. “I didn’t feel safe around my team.” Of course, Ozpin will want to know why...
>B) Tell the slightly modified truth. “I didn’t feel safe in the dorm. I mean, it is where I was taken...”
>C) Provide an innocent lie. “It’s summer, sir. I just wanted to enjoy my vacation somewhere without teachers and homework.”
>D) Provide a less innocent lie that will throw him far off of Penny and Blake’s tracks. “I had to meet a few people.”

>>1834251
>B) Tell the slightly modified truth. “I didn’t feel safe in the dorm. I mean, it is where I was taken...”

>>1834251
>>B) Tell the slightly modified truth. “I didn’t feel safe in the dorm. I mean, it is where I was taken...”
The best lies have a kernel of truth. If we commit to an actual lie and he asks for more details, the more likely it'll be for use to screw it up.

>>1834251

>>1834251

I think we should just be straight with Oz. I'm too scared of him to lie.

Supah hot fire

Rolled 11 (1d100)

>>1834337

>>1834342
thank you for being quick

Rolled 231 (1d1000)

>>1834337
Don't know why you want a 1000 now, but okay.

>>1834342
72 ain't bad.
But, you know... Ozpin.
Writing!
>>1834360
Since I actually wanted a 100, this simplifies to a 23. You suck.

>>1834364
It'll be fine. It's a perfectly valid fear that even a man like Ozpin should understand.

>>1834251
“I didn’t feel safe in the dorm,” you say, as Ozpin takes advantage of the break on his side of the conversation to sip at his coffee. He fixes his eyes on you as he takes a particularly deep drink, and you feel something inside you break. That wasn’t enough. “I mean, it was where I was taken…” Ozpin nods into his mug and sets it aside once again.

“A reasonable response, Mr. Schnee. I wouldn’t feel very safe after such an ordeal myself. I hope you understand that we’ll be taking the appropriate measures to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen again. You should have nothing to worry about in the coming semesters.” You relax a little, mentally. It seems as if Ozpin is letting that point go without further observation, and that means Penny and Blake’s secrets are safe.

“Now, as for my next concern… Why would this ‘Snow’ be so concerned with your safety? Hardened criminals rarely so altruistic as to turn vigilante with no immediate benefit.” Damn your father and his stupid, stupid alias.

>A) Offer yourself as the cause and keep Ozpin from wondering who Snow is. “He came because I asked him to. We met not too long after I came to Vale, I was desperate, and I guess he thought a Schnee owing him one would be useful.”
>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”
>C) Plead ignorance. “I have no idea. Maybe he thought depriving Roman of a hostage would help him get ahead?”

>>1834402
>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”

>>1834402
>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”

>>1834402
>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”

>>1834402
>C) Plead ignorance. “I have no idea. Maybe he thought depriving Roman of a hostage would help him get ahead?”
And when pressed this
>A) Offer yourself as the cause and keep Ozpin from wondering who Snow is. “He came because I asked him to. We met not too long after I came to Vale, I was desperate, and I guess he thought a Schnee owing him one would be useful.”
As a likely possibility
>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”
Only if the previous two fails.

>>1834402
>>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”
As before, I feel honesty is the best policy with Ozpin.

That said, it's not much of a lie. Gee, which male relative of ours has the resources and influence to mobilise Vale underworld?

>>1834402
>>A) Offer yourself as the cause and keep Ozpin from wondering who Snow is. “He came because I asked him to. We met not too long after I came to Vale, I was desperate, and I guess he thought a Schnee owing him one would be useful.”


i guess calling and texting everyone for help was a retarded move.
good to know next time

>>1834402
>>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”

>>1834402
>>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”
And then Ozpin started worrying about the Schnee mafia.

>>1834418
Oh, wait, is the lie here that we're implying we have a gangster relative in Vale? But still, I think he'll see through it.

>>1834402
>>B) Tell a version of the truth. “He was concerned because we’re family.”

>>1834402

>i guess calling and texting everyone for help was a retarded move.
You think?

>>1834402
>C) Plead ignorance. “I have no idea. Maybe he thought depriving Roman of a hostage would help him get ahead?”

A implies we have criminal connections, B is retarded and Ozpin will see through it in a goddamn heartbeat.

>>1834402
>>C) Plead ignorance. “I have no idea. Maybe he thought depriving Roman of a hostage would help him get ahead?”

>>1834419
>i guess calling and texting everyone for help was a retarded move.

No shit.

i was trying not to be an asshole to the people who voted for that dumb mess and rub the shit in their faces.

It was, but it makes sense in character as a panic move. Suboptimal, but narratively apt.

I'm sure Ozpin is smart enough to know we're talking about our father.

Got it, you guys, writing! I'm gonna get you through this interview then call it a night. Really sorry for the short as shit session, but I'm about to pass out after working on class shit all week.

I feel like quality starts drooping when my head does, and you know how this shit works. One fucked up post and the whole damn story is ruined.

>>1834522
As someone who started college not too long ago, I know how you feel, man.

“He was concerned because we’re family,” you shrug. It’s not as if his terrible nickname didn’t give that away. Ozpin hums into his hands before asking his follow up question. “Your father?” he guesses, correctly, but you were expecting that. “It would be a scandal like no other if the head of the SDC was caught dealing with low lives, sir. He’s an uncle, or cousin, I forget which. Descends from Nicholas Schnee’s uncle, in any case.” The Schnees, before your Grandfather built the SDC, were a very fertile family. It’s likely you really DID have a cousin involved in the underworld in Vale, though it’s equally likely that such a cousin would have no idea who he was technically related to.

Ozpin hums in non-answer to your assertion. You don’t think he believes you, but he’s got no reason to call you out for lying. “It’s good to hear that my fears were unfounded,” he says after a short silence. “I’d like to apologize for anything I may have implied of you, Whitaker, but you must understand that I and the Council take the criminal elements of Vale very seriously.” You nod along, happy to have worked your way out of the conversation mostly unscathed. Ozpin almost certainly know you were hiding things from him, but it seems as though he’s either already got the answers or thinks he does. Either way, he shouldn’t be bothering you again.

You step out of the room and into the hallway, on your way to Winter’s office again. The light, airy feeling you get from escaping further scrutiny by Ozpin fades as you begin to worry what you may have given away. Ozpin’s questions seemed to have a deeper meaning than the words themselves imply. The only connecting themes between the two questions were you and your kidnapping, and Ozpin should be well aware of the reasons behind the kidnapping. So was it you? Then something else occurs to you.

Ozpin had asked for your sisters, too. He was talking to every Schnee in Vale. About ‘Snow’? About you? You aren’t sure, but whatever his reasons, your family is involved.

Dammit, forgot to quote. Anyway, that is literally everything I have the energy to write for tonight. I'm going to bed, guys. Good night, we'll pick up from here on Wednesday.

>>1834636
G'night

>>1834636
Rest easy, Brother. We'll be here.
