PREVIOUSLY:
Whitaker and Weiss have a punch-up, SPWB gets back together, and Whit rocks out with his... Well, you were there.

TODAY:
Jaune has an idea.
>>
“Come on, I think I could do it!” Jaune and his relentless optimism were not being responsible with the few pointers you had offered throughout the semester. When you told him that the first step to accomplishing his goals was to believe they were possible, you had thought the unspoken qualification of “so long as they actually ARE possible” had been clearly understood.

“Not on your life.” You did think he was improving, but this was a stretch beyond him. Better to cut him off before he got himself hurt. Jaune wasn’t going to back down just because you, reason and common sense told him to, however, and instead he sought allies elsewhere.

“Ren, what do you think? I mean, it wouldn’t be easy, but it’s possible!” The quietest member of your current group paused in the middle of flipping the next page of his book. With closed eyes and a deep sigh, Ren concedes, “I suppose it is possible, yes.” Jaune beams at you with a cocky grin while Ren shrinks back into his book, away from the guilt of what he’s done.

“See! Ren knows, I’ve been working hard these past few months.” You shake your head, refusing to vocally carry on this idiotic line of discussion, but the last ally you had in this war of wills stabs you in the back just as surely as Ren did. Sun slaps Jaune between his shoulder blades and laughs, “C’mon, Whit, even if he fails, it's good practice! I mean, you did promise to help him out. Or was Jaune pulling my leg about that?”

This “Guy’s Night Out” thing had been a bad idea. Of course it was, it had been Jaune’s idea. He probably had this planned from the beginning. You look away from the ocean and to the three young men sitting beside you, their feet dangling over the cliffs just like yours. Jaune holds your gaze and asks you one last time:

“Just one round? Please?” He wants to spar with you. Granted, he has been training with Pyrrha Nikos for the past semester, but it was only a semester. Thinking he could take you on when he still had yet to win a single fight in the dueling combat class was a bit much.

>A) Give him a chance. “Fine, we’ll give it a shot. As long as you promise not to cry.”
>B) Make it interesting. “If we’re going to do this, you’re going to have to make it worth my time. How about a bet?”
>C) Refuse. “Jaune, I’m not going to fight you.”

You feel a wave of second hand embarrassment as Jaune bounces in excitement. The arena in which you’re currently standing is only a few rooms away from where you had your battle with Weiss, and is almost the same. You aren’t sure if Jaune’s ever been here before. Your class bouts take place on the stage Ms. Goodwitch provides, and wherever Pyrrha has been tutoring him, it certainly hasn’t been with the rest of the students looking to go a few rounds.

You heft Langerdorn in a lazy fashion, and Jaune draws his own sword and shield. A dated, some would say obsolete, method of combat for a Huntsman in the modern day. You can’t remember ever getting a clear view of Jaune actually fighting with it, however. You know he has, you’ve been there for a few of them, but you were preoccupied with your own fights at the time. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles himself, you suppose.

The automated system gives the starting signal, and Jaune tenses for your initial blow. It doesn’t come. You haven’t moved. Jaune was expected you to treat this fight like you did Weiss, but disregarding the fact that he’s… Well, Jaune, you have no idea what he can do. Charging him wouldn’t be smart.

Jaune isn’t prepared to let this fight hang any longer, and sprints towards you. You shift Langerdorn and unload the dummy rounds on him, but he lifts his shield and ignores them. You haven’t even slowed him down. Granted, he wasn’t going fast to begin with, but it’s somewhat impressive. Once Jaune is close enough to begin raising his sword and preparing to strike, your return Langerdorn to its spear shape and thrust forward into Jaune’s exposed stomach.

The tip of the spear only barely misses, but it does. Jaune twists himself enough to dodge, but it takes the momentum completely out of his swing. Your aura takes the hit without complaint, and you elbow him in the stomach, sending him to his knees.

>A) That wasn’t half bad. Maybe you should step it up a notch. Attack him while he’s down and see if he has an answer for that.
>B) Jaune has gotten better, but luck on the battlefield exist. Take it easy until you’re sure of what he can do, and let him stand up.
>C) He’s still out of breath from your elbow. It may be mean, and show you aren’t taking this seriously, but you can’t resist. Tip him over while he’s recovering.

You pull your spear back, then drive it forward towards Jaune’s prone form. Unlike Weiss’s, this is a fight you expected to win the easily, which is why you’re so surprised when you feel Langerdorn bounce off of the stone floor. Jaune rolls back onto his hands and pushes off the ground. You almost have caught your jaw from falling when he lands on his feet, albeit with a small stumble.

Jaune seems just as surprised as you are and spaces out to sort through how, exactly, he just did that. It’s an opening, and you exploit it almost on reflex. You whip Langerdorn out on a wide semicircle and smack the side of Jaune’s head with the butt of the spear. The impact sends him sprawling once again. Jaune hits the ground but doesn’t stay down, instead rolling with the momentum to land, once again, on his feet.

This time he doesn’t hesitate. Jaune slashes at your stomach with a dramatic battle cry, and there’s less than an inch between your belly and the blade. That small distance is all that matters at the moment, so you ignore how close it was to focus on your next strike.

The sweeping blow from Langerdorn’s axe mode doesn’t take Jaune off his feet as you hope. Instead, it catches against the shield raised to block it. You and Jaune press against one another for a moment, and you’re surprised when he actually begins to push you back. Unwilling to try to contest his strength any longer, but equally unwilling to let him attack as you retreat, you instead kick at his leg and sweep his feet out from under him. You jump back rather than immediately exploit his prone state, and sure enough, Jaune repeats himself by rolling back into a fighting stance. You’ve got the better of him, for now, but this is much closer than you could have ever assumed it would be.

>A) Exploit your natural advantages. Jaune had called for a no-semblance fight, but that didn’t mean you couldn’t use something else he hadn’t brought to the fight: A gun.
>B) You’re starting to wear him down, you’re almost certain of that. Keep up the assault and try to outlast him. He’ll collapse eventually.
>C) Stay defensive. Jaune’s repeating himself a lot, but you can’t state with certainty you know every trick in his book. Until you do, best to play it safe.

Guns. Guns should work. He doesn’t even have a gun. Jaune moves into to attack you and, rather than exploit his movements to counter him in some way, you deliver a swift aura-backed kick to his chest and send him flying. Semblances are off limits, but aura isn’t technically a semblance. As soon as he lands, the rifle is in your hands.

The stock bucks against your shoulder with every shot, but Jaune is still putting his recent skills as a tumbler into action. He leaps from his most vulnerable state into a squatting position behind his shield. Then he takes a step forward, and another. Almost before you can realize it, Jaune is charging back towards you from behind the cover of his shield. You’d aim at his legs instead, but he’s bent in such a way that only his feet remain uncovered, and you have no doubt that even if you hit them, his aura would absorb the shot. So instead, you keep pounding away at the shield.

It doesn’t help. Despite all common sense telling you that a simple collapsible shield should crumple under this much firepower, Jaune’s luck holds out over yours, and the shield holds. Jaune continues his march, and you’re left with only melee to rely on. You swap back to your spear before Jaune descends upon you, and you keep up a retreat to keep him from slipping behind Langerdorn’s effective range. Jaune’s got you into his momentum, how do you plan on getting out of it?

>A) Stop retreating, and charge forward instead. He won’t be expecting the sudden shift, and you have a few precious seconds to attack his back while it’s undefended.
>B) Keep up the retreat. He may be driving this fight, but you’re steering. If you can position yourself well enough, you may force him to ring out.
>C) It may be cheating, but Jaune’s proven himself too much for you otherwise. Maybe you could sneak a glyph in, perhaps under your shoe, and use it to change directions in way he’s not prepared to counter?

You skid to a stop and wait for the fraction of a second it takes Jaune to swing again. The slash is aimed directly at your chest, giving you just enough room to duck underneath. You swing around to Jaune’s back, and without the expected resistance, Jaune overextends, leaving himself wide open for a slash across the back. He stumbles forward a few steps, and you repeat the motion to punish his slow response.

The second attack is enough to send him sprawling to the ground again. You’ve got his number now, and when he tries once again to roll with the impact, you’re already there to deliver a punishing blow from your axe-head. Jaune reels away from you, unaware of how close he’s stepped to the edge of the arena. You pull Langerdorn back, just in case, and reach forward with your other hand. You place it on Jaune’s chest and give him a firm shove, and he falls one last time, directly onto his backside.

Ring out.

-----

“I thought I could do it…” Jaune looks pathetic, his head bowed as he reaches behind himself to apply an ice pack to the bruise forming along his spine. Sun’s cheery voice does his best to break through the melancholic cloud surrounding his fellow blonde.

“Hey, I was pretty sure you had him a few times!” You’d say so, if the ice pack your pressing against your own bruising forearms were any indication. You’re almost embarrassed by how close Jaune came to beating you after only six months of training for deuls like this. You suppose that’s what happens when a four time champion is your personally trainer, and it’s the only thing that can spare your ego any further pain.

Ren coughs politely into his fist to draw your attention before asking a question, “So… Is this, hmm, outing over? Or did anyone have anything else in mind?”

You’re laughing. You’re not sure what at. Something the blonde guy said. You’d figure out which one later. For the first time in a while, it’s hard to wipe the smile off your face. Everyone here’s so nice to you, the lady pouring the drinks even called you a “sweetheart”. That was nice, even though she was a bit old for you. Nice in the “she’s like a mom” kinda way. One of the blonde guys knocks over a glass and spills his drink on his lap. It sends you into another fit of giggling when he stands up and you see the dark stain spreading across his lap.

Speaking of dark lap stains, you have to pee. After declaring so to the rest of your party, you push yourself out of the booth and set your swaying head to swiveling. It takes you a few moments of searching (and a helpful patron) to find the restroom. You stumble inside and wash your hands, before remembering which order you’re supposed to handle things in.

After taking care of your business and washing your hands after, you step back into the bar and stumble towards your friends. Well, you stumble forward. You’ll get there eventually. It’s a few minutes bouncing off a few large men, who helpfully point you in a direction that may be right, before you come to a stop at an empty stool. This is definitely not where your friends are, but you’re tired of walking, so you take a seat anyway.

You listen to the music and attempt to bob your head along to it, but there’s a noise underneath it that’s distracting you. You strain yourself and focus all you can, and eventually make out the harsh tones of whispering.

“-then where the hell did she go? That little psycho is loose, and without-” That didn’t sound good. Still, you did come here because all your fun times keep getting interrupted… Would it hurt to just ignore it and enjoy the music? Might not even be anything serious…

>A) Aw, you can’t help yourself. Try to keep listening in.
>B) If somebody that can be described as a “psycho” is loose in your city, you aren’t going to be the last guy to know about it. Ask these guys directly, and aggressively if you have to.
>C) Forget it. Pick up a mug and find that blonde guy, the one with the tail. He’s great fun.

You take advantage of your of drunken stupor to perfectly mimic the slouch of a man who is dead to the world. You do so by actually passing out at your seat, but you wake up almost immediately after your head hits the counter, and you’ve got enough sense not to move. Well, sense or blood-alcohol concentration. Either way, you’re sobered up enough to truly focus on what you can hear.

“-he’s gone, man. No way the boss is getting out,” drone the mournful, drunken tone of a man who knows his next paycheck isn’t coming. A scratchier, higher voice jumps up to object.

“Well we gotta do something! If Roman ain’t holdin’ her leash, no tellin’ what Neo’s gettin’ up to!” The higher voice seems panicked, straining themselves to stress the importance of every syllable to their larger friend.

“Why do you care? We’re nobodies, nobody important enough for her to give a shit about.”

“Exactly!” the smaller voice interjects, “We’re nobodies, that no one would miss, and we know about her! We got no protection, you fuckin’ idiot!” The larger voice doesn’t respond, and you can picture the giant of a man gazing down into his mug in contemplation.

“Worst part is,” the rat-voice continues, “she can be anywhere. Anyone. That semblance, man… She could here, right now, and we’d never know it!” That… Really didn’t sound good. Someone who could scare what seem to be thugs and could change to look like anyone…

The harsh whispers drift away as the men pay for their drinks and leave, leaving you with a sick feeling in your gut that comes from an uncomfortable combination of fear and beer. If someone like that was working for Roman, they could use that semblance to avoid police for months. Years, maybe. Rumors of a shape-shifting psychopath, loose on the streets of Vale… This isn’t what you needed tonight.

You find your way back to the group and try to relax, but you find it impossible. You’re still jittery and nervous when the rest of Team RYAL shows up to herd you all back to Beacon. You can’t help but shoot a bleary, drunken glance over your shoulder every few minutes, wondering if you’d spot some sort of grinning psychopath in the alleyways.

Maybe you’ve already met her, you muse. She could have been the blonde giving information to Junior. A shape-shifting semblance would be wonderful for infiltration. Or maybe she was the girl from the warehouse, the one ready to jab a knife into your helpless stomach. She had seemed like the type psychotic enough to work for Roman. You shiver as you consider another option. Maybe she had been both.

Your mental wanderings lead you to fail to notice a step up in the street, and your foot catches on the lip. You tilt forward, reflexes far too dulled to catch yourself, but you're saved an impact with the concrete by a small pair of arms. You look up into the smiling features of Liquorice, and give her a smile in return.

“Thanks, Ellie,” you tell her, and she helps steady you for the rest of the walk to the Bullheads. Even with this “Neo” roaming the streets, you’ve got your friends to watch your back.

“How’re you feeling?” It’d make sense for Ruby to ask: Last time she had seen you, you had been ready to vomit from either alcohol or fear. The last time she had seen you with your faculties intact, you had been set on fire and burned out of your clothes. Before that, your unconscious form in a hospital bed, and before that, a picture of the end result of a night under the caring hands of Torchwick and Junior’s men. That’s probably why she didn’t look convinced when you answered, “I’m fine.” Ruby begins to speak, probably to question you further, but she’s cut off by the last third of your dinner party.

“That’s good to hear,” Ciel comments, “And your team?” You mumble something positive. You’re not sure you convinced anyone, but your fellow team leaders seem to understand it isn’t something you want to talk about. The first day back to school had been tolerable, but filled with awkward missteps that seemed to define SPWB these past few days, ever since you and Weiss returned. You returned to Oobleck’s history class and sat in the same way you always had: Blake and Weiss as far from each other as possible, with you beside your sister and Penny beside her partner.

There were unsure, guilty, and accusatory looks passed between everyone at the seating arrangement that had once been defined by simple dislike. Now it stood for the oppressive air of mistrust that had driven you and your sister out into Vale in the first place. You set down your fork and rub your temples. You’ve got to figure something out between those two.

Ruby makes an attempt to lift your spirits by shaking your shoulder and pointing out, with a bright smile, that “Well, school’s in session. Everything will settle back into a rhythm, you’ll see!” You hold off from pointing out that the last “rhythm” for a semester ending up dragging both you and the rest of your friends through a cascade of clashes with criminal elements, and you can see Ceil struggling to do the same.

You stand and carry your tray to be disposed of, and in the moment of solitude, you roll Ruby’s words around in your head. She may have something of a point, even if it was by accident. Your problems aren’t going away on their own, so maybe you SHOULD settle back into that rhythm of investigating them and trying to fix it. You might even accidentally rally your team. Over these past few months, you’ve seen plenty of issues build up that might need your attention. What should you focus on first?

You say your goodbyes to the other team leaders and strike out through the winding corridors of Beacon. You could probably call her on your scroll, but it had been quite a while since you last spoken to her face to face. The video terminals in the CCT Tower may not be as personal, but they were as close as you could get without making the journey home. That wasn’t an option for obvious reasons.

It takes little time to find a Bullhead pilot and reach the Tower. The inside is respectably busy, a little more than you would expect at this time of night, but nowhere near as much as could be found here during their rush hours. You and Weiss are hardly the only people who’ve risked the journey to another one of the great cities, and families were widely spread these days. A testament to how far humanity has come, you muse. You greet the receptionist with polite banter and a few bright answers to questions after your day.

Eventually, he points you towards an empty terminal and you take your seat, as well as a moment to steel yourself. The screen flashes, and you’re met with yet another polite smile, this time attached to one of your mother’s staff.

“Hello, Mr. Schnee! How can I help you today?” The chipper voice grates on your frayed nerves, so you don’t bother with your usual niceties when dealing with the house staff. “I need to speak to my mother,” you tell her in a tone that will accept no arguments. She seems uncomfortable for a moment and checks something off camera.

“I’m… Sorry, sir, but it seems Mrs. Schnee is currently asleep.” You’ve spent months in danger, you’ve had your teammates at each other’s throats, and you just walked across the city to get here and learn about exactly what type of trouble your sister was in. You’d like to think a combination of all these factors is what made you grit your teeth.

“Then wake her up.” It seems as though she’d like to protest, but she knows that even if she did make you wait, she’d only be inviting later scorn from your mother. She taps away at something and asks you to wait a few more moments. At the end of those few moments, you find yourself staring at a black screen, with only the sounds of shuffling and mumble-whispered curses proving that the feed hadn’t simply died. Eventually, she finds her light, and suddenly the screen is filled with an older woman with a striking resemblance to your sisters. She’s still in her day clothes, her hair is an absolute mess, and her eyes are drooping as if she hadn’t slept for even a moment since you left. She’s exactly how you remember her.

(CONTINUED)

“Hello, mother.” The mask of depression and dispassion cracks with a tired smile at seeing who woke her up. “Whitaker,” she mumbles, “Haven’t seen you around in a while. Not even that one that looks like you, more girly?”

“His name is Whitley, mother,” you say with a grin, and the two of you share tired chuckles at the old joke. She sniffs and sits up, moving the computer on her end to a more comfortable position before asking, “What did you need? Forget your birthday? MY birthday?” You’re about to answer before she interrupts with a third question, “Girl trouble?” You stumble at the question and your mind flashes with images of Penny and Blake, and how much their respective pasts have, and could, cause an untold amount of headaches in your life. Your mother, of course, takes your pause and runs with it.

Her eyes light up and she grins, all memories of sleep and whatever had made her tired enough to go to bed at seven-thirty forgotten. “It’s a girl, isn’t it!? Oh, Whitaker, I knew you had it in you!” You can feel the wave of filial embarrassment burning across your face and down your back, but it isn’t enough to keep you from actually answering.

>A) You should see how the rest of the family is doing. “How are father and Whitley? Is Winter there?”
>B) Come out and say it, there’s no reason to beat around the bush. “Is everything okay in Atlas?”
>C) The first thing she did was ask if you wanted something, as if that’s the only reason you call… Well, isn’t it? “Actually, I just wanted to chat for a little bit.” You can get to more serious stuff later.

>>1895665
“Actually,” you say, guilty conscience gnawing at you, “I just wanted to chat for a little bit.” She seems to think about it for a moment before smiling again and taking charge of the conversation.

“I’d like that. So!” she exclaims with a small jump. She reaches for something you can’t see and taps at it for a few moments before returning her attention to you. “How’s school been?”

You give her a small summary of what classes you had been taking, as well as how well you had been doing in each. You go over the people you had met, many of which you now considered friends (of course, omitting the specifics of Blake and Penny), and, as much as you can, you dance around the subject of your out-of-class confrontations with the criminal element of Vale. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though your mother is willing to let the topic skate by unnoticed.

“So, care to tell me exactly how you wound up on Torchwick’s radar?” You gape in surprise at the screen, uncertain how to respond. She gives you a humorless smirk as she explains, “You sent that message to everyone, Whitaker.” Of course, you knew that. That isn’t what surprised you. Winter didn’t tell her? Well, no. Of course she wouldn’t have. Everything Winter does is, technically speaking, a military secret. Your sister respects that too much to run and tell your mother, especially when it would only get her, Weiss, and you in trouble with the matriarch. You swallow the lump in your throat as you think of how to answer.

>A) Panic and tell the truth. “Winter asked for my help catching one of his friends!”
>B) Try to keep you cool and tell a white lie. “Well, I am a Schnee…”

“W-well, I am a-” Your mother fixes you with - well, it isn’t really a glare. She squints, slightly. In any case, you can feel it from across the ocean. “Winter did it!” you blurt before you can stop yourself. There’s a moment of silence where you stare, wide eyed, at the screen. She stares back, a single eyebrow slowly creeping higher.

“Winter,” she states simply. You nod, and try not to meet her eyes. “How did that happen?” You swallow again to wet your dry throat before you delve into the full story, beginning with your stumbling upon a mysterious blonde girl pulling books in the library. Once you reach the end of the story, tripping over your bare feet and landing face first in the mud, she leans back and let’s out a small sigh.

“Well… I’m glad you’re alright.” Something sticks out to you, by its absence. You know your parents, or you’d like to think you did. They’d never be the types to shrug their shoulders and move on when something like this happens. “Is that it?” you probe, speaking only slightly faster than you’re thinking.

“What? Is what it?”

“You’re not going to demand I come home and bring Weiss with me? Kicking and screaming, if I have to?” Her jaw twitches slightly before the relaxed, almost bored, expression she’s been wearing for the past few minutes hardens into the same one you’ve seen on her daughters a hundred times each. Defensive. Cold.

“No, I am not. What kind of mother would I be if I demanded my children put their dreams aside for my sake?”

>A) It’s clear that’s not all there is to it, but… It’s your mother. You can’t interrogate her. “Alright. I’ll tell Weiss you said ‘hello.’”

We might have to make a innocence roll, but if it worked for Winter, it can save our asses here.

“This doesn’t make any sense.” Your thoughts are running away with you again, checking through a hundred different reasons as to why she’d want to keep you away. Perhaps you could believe that she’d want you and Weiss to stay, but your father wouldn’t stand for it. Not a direct threat on your life.

“It isn’t that complicated, Whitaker. You’re overthinking it.” There’s an edge in her voice, one you can only pick out because of how many times she’s said those exact words, in that exact tone, to you before. You can’t think of anything to press her on to force her to confess to anything. The only thing you’ve got left is to beg for an answer.

“Is there something wrong?” you ask, feeling desperate for an answer. First Winter, now your mother. Why is your family trying to keep Atlas out of view? “Of course not!” she insists. She had shouted a few times, but this is the first time in this conversation you’d describe her as raising her voice.

“Then why don’t you want us at home?!” She sets her jaw, perhaps gritting her teeth, but her eyes seem hurt by the question. You take a deep breath and try to calm down. You’re not here because your feelings got hurt. You’re here because there’s a problem you may be able to help solve.

“If there’s something threatening you, or father, or Whitley, I deserve to know.” It takes a few minutes, but eventually, she nods from the screen. “You’re right,” she confesses, “There’s… Things have been happening since you left.

“Everyone is trying to keep it quiet, don’t want the other Kingdoms knowing about our problems. The White Fang’s been… I’m not even sure how to describe it. Going insane, I suppose. Bombs, shootings, hostages. The whole Kingdom is afraid.” She sighs and draws the covers around her, until only her head is poking out of the sheets.

(CONTINUED)

“To be honest, Whitaker, Jac-” she closes her eyes and shakes her head, “Your father was looking for an excuse to bring both of you back, at least when you first left. After half a year of this, he’s talking about sending Whitley to another kingdom. ‘To toughen him up a little,’ he tells himself.” She smiles, only a bit, before continuing, “He’s scared. For all of you. He was ready to call in every favor he has and lead Atlas to full-on invasion when he saw what had happened to you.” You’re at a loss for words. You couldn’t imagine your father voluntarily letting one of his children leave Atlas, and as many faults as he has, Jacques Schnee isn’t the type to scare easily.

“Is there anything I can do?” you ask. “Of course, Whitaker,” she responds, gentle tones already soothing the full panic that had begun to set in. “Stay in Vale. Do well at Beacon. Take care of your sister, and don’t worry about us.” That wasn’t going to be easy. The idea of the White Fang, essentially, laying siege to Atlas invited a great deal of worry about your family. “Whitaker,” she speaks up again, interrupting your train of thought, “It’s getting late.” You check the time on the terminal you’re using, and sure enough, it’s almost eleven. “I’m sure you’ve got something important happening tomorrow, so I’ll let you go. I love you.”

“I love you too, mom.” The link disconnects and you’re left with a ball of nervous energy in your gut. She specifically asked you not to worry about it, because there isn’t anything you can do to help. She has no idea that you know a former member of the White Fang. Someone who would have a fairly good idea of how the Fang would run an operation like this. You stand up suddenly, rocketing the chair backward with the back of your knees. You sprint into the elevator and, once you reach the ground, back to the Bullheads. You need to find Blake.

Same deal as always, I'm here to answer any questions.

Unintentionally seducing every girl

But really, Can we do some eye of the tiger training so Whit can git gud? Because having Jaune catch up kinda stings
>>
>>1896940
....so, I suppose the White Gang are out next target then.

*Unintentionally seducing every girl wen? /jk question

>>1897217
Juane isn't actually particularly shit. He's at least main character levels of raw strength.

I just wish his S4 'upgraded' weapon didn't look so much like a plastic toy.

Just an update for you guys, thanks to a mix up in IRL, I'm going to be unable to run this Wednesday. Saturday is still on, as of right now.
>>
>>1902193
I forgive you. But, in exchange, you must answer my question (if it isn't a spoiler)- what is Whitaker's relationship with Whitley like?
>>
>>1902393
It was pretty easy going when you left, but it HAS been half a year by now.
>>
>>1902417
Then what is his alcohol tolerance? We may have Whit go and have brother time when we see him again. By force if necessary.

Oh god, what if he rolls higher than us on alcohol tolerance?

Have a Penny

>>1907480
Why yes, yes I will have this Penny.

Then he gets to be the embarrassed little brother that has to listen to how much we love him, while also trying not to get hit on to roughly by the barmaids.
>>
>>1907479
Of course he will. Whitley takes after dear old mom and raids the liquor cabinet when no one is looking because he's dead on the inside.

So, as I'm sure you're all aware, we missed Wednesday's session due to some fuckery from my school. It's MOSTLY cleared up now, with little to no risk of me getting kicked out, in any case, so we're ready, set, and steady to start tomorrow at the usual time.
>>
>>1915314
Did you have cops called on you too or something?
>>
>>1915342
No, just had a financial agency bungle one of my school payments.
>>
>>1915353
Ah, never went to collage, they fucked up my scholarships from the get go. So I just work now, no debt though, so that's nice. Sucks to hear your having problems with fucks up not knowing how to file paperwork though.
>>
Unfortunately, family has come up, so we'll have to cancel tonight's session. Sorry, everyone, but we should be good to go this upcoming Wednesday.
>>
>>1917940
Im going to eat your toes

>>1917940
Ha! The joke’s on you. I am tired from a busy day, and shall be having an early night. So it doesn’t matter to me anyway!

B-but, I would have enjoyed waking up to Whit’s adventures...
