"Miste-Abyss." I turned at the calling out and saw Weiss approaching me. School had been as normal as it had been last year. The only two interesting things to happen were Blake getting private lessons from Bella and Qrow being absent. I had no problem with the extra training for Blake at all. Seduction training didn't sound particularly useful to me but she thought it might be useful so power to her I suppose.
Qrow being absent wasn't very shocking. He was gone often. I was just disappointed that he had to be gone when Weiss could have met him. That would be fun. Nothing like a stroke of fate had happened between the cast today unfortunately. Weiss didn't miraculously bump into Yang or Ruby into… anybody. Yang did see Weiss and look at her curiously though. And then look at me with some sort of determination. I'll just wait for her to make the first move in whatever she's doing.
"Yes, Weiss?" I asked pleasantly.
"I wondered if we might walk home together?" Weiss said with practiced friendliness.
"I teleport home usually." I say. "I sometimes stick around if Qrow is here so we can spar a little but with him gone for now I'll likely teleport."
"I-I see." Weiss seemingly hadn't considered that for some reason.
"If you'd like I still have to get some materials from a shop in Vale." I offered.
"That would be acceptable." Weiss said politely. I opened up a portal and stepped through to Vale a few streets away from the dust store I get my dust from. I'm getting low on bullets and the dust shop had the caliber I need in several forms. I like the explosive rounds the most although the high velocity ones were alright. Ruby is also getting low so I'm getting bullets for her too. Some dust is never unwelcome either. I'm not low but I like a stockpile.
"So what is it you need?" I started.
"Your monthly assignment. It says to observe the social hierarchy of the school and graph or otherwise display it accordingly. Does this have a rubrik or further specifications? It seems rather vague."
"A decent question." I turned a corner and Weiss followed, nearly bumping into a stranger who stared at her for a moment before recognizing her and hurrying off. Not that she noticed. "There is no rubrik. I don't care how you make the chart or how you display it. You could make it with crayons and I wouldn't care so long as it's easily readable. I make it and all the other assignments vague so you have independence."
"Do you mean the entire school or just the class leaders?" Weiss frowned.
"I shouldn't have to hold your hand for this." I said in slight reprimand. Weiss frowned somewhat. "Is the school's hierarchy linear?"
"Of course not! There are cliques and outsiders and…" Weiss slowed down as she saw my point.
"I want to see you think." I confirmed what she was just grasping. "Being capable is useless if you can't think for yourself. Learn independence. It's more than a state of location or the law. It's a mental state as well. You're not going to be free of anybody if you're incapable of following your own directions."
"But that breeds chaos! People could interpret your orders a hundred different ways to do as they please!" Weiss looked extremely disapproving of my method. I dodged a lamppost. Weiss nearly did too but she sidestepped at the last second.
"If they interpreted it as a way that was sloppy or nearly incomplete there would be consequences. Luckily there's only good people in subI so I'm not expecting anyone to be so sloppy. Everyone but you and Blake, being new, respect me enough to realize that my orders have a purpose even if they can't see them. A few plans have gone awry before but nothing has become truly unsalvageable.
"I… see. I suppose it would work in a smaller group." Weiss relented. "However among a group of people that are being trained in espionage isn't using what amounts to an honor system somewhat foo-risky?"
I gave Weiss a narrowed look, which was my way of saying I was not at all happy that she nearly called me foolish. I'm not stupid for trusting in my friends. The look was cut short as we arrived at the dust shop.
"Was the class the only reason you wanted to talk to me?" I asked while looking over the bullets available. Would Ruby prefer the momentum rounds with more kick to them so she can go faster with her scythe or the high impact rounds so she can shoot harder… probably the first. She has to limit the runes in the scythe anyways so she doesn't kill anyone.
"I'd like to know whether you do background checks on people you interact with at the school." I rolled my eyes facing away from her. This is about Blake, obviously.
"Anyone in particular?" Weiss hesitated.
"Being the heiress of the SDC I'm often under one threat or another. I'd like to know if any of my teachers are under the influence of any organizations that may have the opposite of my wellbeing in mind. I would guess that you have similar issues?"
"Not really." I grinned a little. Telling the truth would be fun. I made sure to get a view of her face. "The white fang likes me a lot so they stop terrorist attacks against me. They're quite nice, actually." Weiss was just speechless as she stared at me. Her mouth was just slightly open in shock.
"The white fang… But they're terrorists!"
"One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter." I retort. I had planned out this conversation for a while. "Besides, I'm not supporting their cause. I and my uncle just passively improve the lives of faunus by doing as we please in business. The larger and more public we get the more respect faunus have as a whole not to mention that we hire mostly faunus since we mainly need dumb labor for our agriculture. All of this makes us practically celebrities to the white fang. Only a few people might want my head on a platter and even then there are more people that want me alive than dead."
Weiss scowled and seemed a little envious although it was hidden under a practiced facade. Yes, going outside without a security detail is nice. I'm sure one day you'll be doing the same.
"Back to my original point do you run background checks?"
"Only for the people I need to know. I ran checks on everyone in first year except Bella. It was the first task I assigned." I gave up deciding on what incendiary round Ruby could use and just took five of each. If she doesn't want one then she should have given me a list.
"Have you done the same this year?"
"Obviously." Weiss noticed a box on her right that held some magazines. She grabbed one on dust wielding and another with an article on the SDC before responding.
"Did anything suspicious appear?"
"Blake's business is her own." I said in an even tone, tiring of the wordplay. "She's not going to kill you in your sleep or poison your food. At worst she'll be biased towards you. She has some bad experiences with the SDC and being the heiress she likely thinks you're a spoiled princess, which, to be fair you have some traits of."
"I am not spoiled simply because of my lineage!" She said hotly. I stood in front of the dust dispensers on the wall and wondered if I should just take it all. I would use it all eventually, after all. Dust didn't go bad. I'm a little low on lightning dust as well. I always use a pinch of it with my lightning based attacks since it aligns my storm mana far more quickly towards lightning than if I were to do it myself manually. I do have to weaken my strikes but it's not a big issue. I'm quite wealthy, after all, being the head of a prestigious company with expensive goods.
"You're currently accusing a classmate of being a terrorist after barely being around her for just one day because she's a faunus with experience in espionage." Weiss blinked in surprise, as though she wasn't being transparent about her motives, and I continued. "Today you showed confidence in your lackluster abilities and were firmly the second worst in the class with Cesium below you in terms of combat just barely and even then he's far more versatile than you with his experience in stealth. I'm sure he's more charismatic than you as well. Ocean is better against opponents other than myself so I would rank her just above you."
"I'll admit my skills were overshadowed today and numerous flaws have appeared in my technique however confidence is not arrogance."
"It is when you lose." I could faintly hear Weiss' teeth press hard against each other. She must think I'm insufferable. "Besides all that it doesn't matter really. You've not properly fought anybody and it showed. That indicates a lack of hardship that everyone in the class went through except Ocean, who is just mentally mature. Kerrigan had to be trained in brutality since his life was under the scrutiny of the criminal underworld since he was young, Cesium grew up in the slums and still rose up through his own merits, Bella has had a whole career in military service, and I grew up in the slums of Vacuo briefly before being orphaned and making my own in the world."
Weiss seemed to hold herself back from commenting on my childhood and took a moment to collect herself. I inspected the gravity dust. I never use the stuff but I really should. I would cultivate an affinity for it but it apparently takes a ton of work to raise to an acceptable level in it's affinity judging by Ozpin's old books. It's powerful to be sure but I can use motion instead. However, I had the thought to negate the gravitational fields that keep a person's atoms all bound together. I could send a breeze to them and like dust they'd just float away in a spray of red. Sadly aura blocks direct magic on a person without their permission but there's more to use the affinity for. It's just not worth the effort for me. I'm still working on the origin affinity anyways. I think I'm almost halfway there. Or maybe a quarter. It's hard to tell but purity and corruption have been less hostile to each other.
I sighed and decided against using the new dust. I instead stuck with what I know. Lightning, fire, water, ice, earth (though I don't often use it), air, and some other less common stuff. I just piled all the dust into plastic bins I kept in my inventory. The shopkeeper was used to this. He'd understand. I'll loot all his crystals when I get to the front. He keeps some good stuff in the back as well.
"I've had my own share of hardship." Weiss said confident. I think she missed my point. I'm not having a terrible childhood contest. I'm saying she lacks the perspective we've all had.
"Weiss why did you join signal?" I ask while switching to a second plastic bin for the dust. Man I use a lot of this stuff. Oh well. Better now than when somebody starts stealing a ton of it.
"I want to be a huntress." She said immediately.
"And why subI?"
"It seemed useful." I almost missed the signs of a lie. That was a very good lie. So she is good at something the class can use.
"For you it's not." She narrowed her eyes as though in challenge. "You lack the attitude to properly make use of it. Everyone can tell."
"I got in, didn't I? That says to me that I at least have potential." I nearly facepalmed at her ignorance. It really doesn't say anything about whether you can get in to a class. Passing it says something though.
"You didn't actually." Weiss doesn't respond to that, too confused to make a retort. "Bella was originally going to reject you but I vouched for you. I know you're not the pretty princess a lot of people think you are. You have potential but it's going to be a complete pain to drag it out. You're never going to be a person who sneaks about in the dark like Ocean or Blake and you'll never be as adept at criminal matters as Kerrigan. You can, however, learn something. A dose of reality would do you well and you can use the time you have at signal to make yourself into a proper huntress. For now, though, everyone thinks your a spoiled princess and they're not very interested in looking deeper to see who you are."
Weiss didn't reply, seemingly thinking about something. I don't think she's quite taken what I've said to heart but that's really not my problem. If she can clean up her act I'll be fine associating with her. Otherwise I'll toss her out of subI and let her mature into the person she was when she arrived at beacon.
Come to think of it, Ruby had quite an effect on her in canon didn't she? Maybe I should introduce them. They probably won't click and become friends but being familiar with each other could help them in the future. Fixing Weiss' problems could be solved plenty of ways but it was solved handedly by friendship in the show. I'll use that one eventually. It's going to take a lot of patience to get this done.
I bought all the dust from the store, paid about two and a half thousand lien (which is cheap for how much I bought) and opened a portal. Weiss didn't talk about anything important for the last few minutes of the trip. It was just small talk while she considered everything we had talked about. I really do hope she figures out what it is she's going to do.

"You're Leonardo Lionheart?"
"Y-yes."
"I'm Watts. A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I will be your correspondent between you and my lady."
"Alright…"
"Now, we will start with the basics. Information on the location of huntsmen and huntresses of mistral out on their lonesome."
"What are you going to do with them?!"
"That is none of your concern for the moment."
"They are MY huntsmen and huntresses. I won't have you seeing them killed!"
"I had assumed you were more subservient than this… would you care to inquire to my lady on this matter?"
"…"
"If you do not then you may wish to do as she commands. I am her proxy in this matter. The information?"
"I'll … I'll send you a code."
"It is appreciated."
"Please, do not kill my people needlessly."
"Every death will have a purpose, I assure you. I will return when we have further need of you. Goodbye… my friend."

Ruby stood resolutely, eclipse rose in sword form firmly grasped in her two hands. She briefly closed her eyes and the weapon's innate purity began to grow and resonate with her own. The metal seemed to become a little lighter and a strange air seemed to emanate from the weapon. It was good practice for when she would fight grimm.
Linking your affinity with a weapon seemed to be a trait only Ruby was capable of. While a weapons affinity seemed ridiculous it was really quite useful and she had grown it as much as she could and treated it like it was a favorite child she liked to spoil. It was at almost two hundred now rather than the nineteen or so it had been at before. Ruby loved weapons and the affinity let her use them more effectively than ever before. Eclipse rose performed better in her hands because of it, becoming sharper and lighter and hitting harder than before.
When Ruby was using a weapon she was faster and stronger herself as well. She wielded all weapons like they were a part of her, which they sort of were due to the nature of affinities. Even her mana subtly felt like it was meant to be a weapon. Like it was meant to attack and be wielded.
I stood calmly but my aura and mana were both primed to take action. Like rubber bands set to fly the two energies were set to act as soon as I released them.
At a small shift in Ruby's aura we both acted.
My body's physical form changed suddenly. The body of worlds skill, armed with my affinity for the storm, turned my body to a dark cloud. Lightning was far easier to throw when you were lightning.
Ruby, on the other hand, was racing towards me in her usual flurry of petals. She dodged the lightning I threw at her with with ease. Her affinity for electricity, inherited from me, and her ability to sense aura and mana allowed her to tell where the strikes would come from easily and respond quickly enough to dodge. Still, though, I poured a small amount of mana into my storm affinity and lightning swarmed over me, granting me a small storm of the electricity and plasma swirling around me.
Unfortunately Ruby's weapon wasn't deterred by my lack of a body. She struck gracefully and quickly at me, taking the blow to her aura from the lightning and slicing through my form. My mana dropped somewhat from the disruption to my form.
I lashed out with a huge blast of heat enhanced with a weakening of space to make it more quickly travel through it. Ruby wasn't deterred and pulled on one of the most annoying elements to exist.
Earth. The one affinity I don't have. Metal doesn't count since most rocks and such aren't metal and my affinity isn't strong enough to affect the tiny deposits of metals in rocks. I can summon precious metals from deep beneath the earth though if I ever need money.
In a blink she disappeared from the arena, submerged in dirt and rock. Just a moment later a scythe lashed upwards from the ground where I was standing. My composition turned to light and in less than a millisecond I was on the other side of the arena in physical form.
Ruby had barely come out of the ground before she was a storm of petals coming for me. Suddenly she appeared physically and a round of insane velocities was blasted from the barrel of eclipse rose.
The bullet travelled so fast the very air around it was ignited. A trail of fire cloaked the projectile and had it hit me it would nearly deplete my aura.
That's why I wasn't there when it hit. Prediction and Instinctual had agreed - in the tenth of a second I had to think - that I was in danger and that Ruby would likely fire her gun. I did not like her bullets one bit, being that they were bad for my health.
The hard light illusion of me disappeared as the bullet crashed through it and I, still made of light, pushed mana into my space affinity. Around Ruby space became crushing, converging on her like she was some sort of spatial black hole. Suddenly the ten feet between us became miles and miles made of dirt. It hardly mattered for me.
All the light I could grasp with my affinity was taken and using roughly one hundred thousand units of mana I produced a powerful laser of light so high in energy it went off the visual scale and became gamma radiation. From that point it was outside the domain of my affinity for light, becoming something more inside the influence of a radiation affinity or electromagnetic affinity. However, it didn't matter. It's relation to light, being a wave of extreme energy, allowed me to create it.
Just not control it.
Ruby's aura took a huge hit, decreasing by nearly three quarters. The only reason she was alive was because she had her aura infused with her earth affinity. Earth naturally cancels out light and radiation after all. She had changed it from wind to be swifter to earth when she dived under the rock and dirt and she hadn't had a chance to change it.
The spar wasn't yet over, though. Ruby pushed her own mana in a spike of air infused mana. Spikes being a form of weapons and her affinity for wind being stronger than mine for space she reached outside the space my space attuned mana created. She disappeared outside the space through her spike of mana in a teleport and sliced with eclipse rose, pushing the remainder of her mana through it with fire. The slash produced an arc of fire that roared towards me.
Simple stuff, Ruby. I barely waved my hand and all the air in front of me disappeared, courtesy of my storm affinity. The fire immediately died as it hit the vacuum. I then allowed the vacuum to fill in.
"Not fair!" Ruby protested.
"Vacuums are certainly fair game." I corrected her. "You could use electricity to cross it."
"But a vacuum is still a perfect insulator!" She argued. "The electrons have to gather the energy to jump all that distance and it just makes the attack pointless…"
"True." I acknowledged, turning physical once more. "However, it's still feasible. Besides that a physical projectile would easily cross it. Like your bullets."
"You would just move all that space attuned mana go in front of you." She muttered, waving at the miles of empty space she was just trapped in. "And you would teleport from the path of the bullet like a weenie the moment I so much as waved eclipse rose at you while you were still in a physical form."
"Well yes." I admitted. I pulled on my space mana, deconstructing the spell. Consumption 'ate' the mana, making it one with my once more and unity flawlessly integrated it once more into my soul. No mana was wasted at all. "However, it would prove to be more of a challenge."
"Can we do weapons training?" Ruby said, the puppy eyes in full effect.
"Ugh." I said in distaste. Ruby was unfair to go against with a weapon in hand. If I couldn't abuse my insane affinities and mana what was the point? To get stronger? At this point?! I may be just a little OP but weapons training grates on me.
But the puppy eyes are a fearsome weapon. There were little tears in her eyes. Sure she was abusing her water affinity to make them artificially but then again that hardly mattered. It looked heartbreaking. I think Vernal gave her lessons on making effective puppy eyes. Will of steel clearly told me that she was faking it but… the eyes.
"Fine." All sense of sadness disappeared from Ruby's eyes.
"Yes!" Ugh, I'm such a pushover.
[|||| == ||||]
"Awwww, thank you my honey poo!"
"It's no big deal cuddle buns! I loooove you!"
"And you're just a regular good luck charm! Hehehe!"
"Please, mister Branwen… please stop flirting with your girlfriend. It's so…"
"Kid do you have a problem with me and my girlfriend?"
"Wha-! No! It's very sweet but, uh, it's very VERY-"
"Then shut up!… now back to you my beautiful flower!"
"… Okay they're distracted. When are we going to stop messing with them?"
"When Ruby, Abyss, or Yang are here. The others in his little group are in on it. I just want to screw with the other brats. They cause me enough trouble as it is."
"HAHAHA! That's so funny sweetie!"
"I loooove-OI! Stop sleeping, brat!"
"I hate this class."
"Roman what the hell do you want at this hour?" I growled as I exited a portal. Roman looked distinctly uncomfortable.
"Well Raven isn't here… I'm sorry boss."
"Talk."
"Vacuo got their shit somewhat together." He started simply. "Some upstart named Sand, no other name given, managed to wrestle about a forth of the underworld under his control somehow. The thing is, he's got the whole rest of the underworld clawing at him to bring him down. Now this upstart is going down but holding together for the moment. He sent me an offer. Seventy percent of his future profits if I stabilize him and put the underworld he has under his control. It's a good deal. I had a few guys check out the validity of the deal. Sand's desperate and he respects me a lot for bringing Vale's underworld under my control. This is a chance to take Vacuo, boss."
I stayed silent… do I even care about Vacuo? It's, to my knowledge, a shithole for the most part.
"Why would we go to Vacuo in the first place?" I asked in a softer tone.
"They have mines." Roman said immediately. "The desert is terrible for growing but it's pretty rich in metals though forging isn't common or well developed over there. They sell to Mistral or Atlas for the most part. There's also the gambling rings of Vacuo, which were famous before and with a little effort I would personally oversee they could be again. The same goes for the fighting rings in Vacuo. They were the prime source for underground fighting while Mistral takes the legal fighting rings' top position in remnant."
"Is there anything to gain for nature's bounty?" I asked.
"Not a thing." He admitted. "Agriculture in Vacuo sucks and they're only need for hunters is to keep the land they have. Their ocean business is huge but way too far out of our specialization to properly take advantage of. The faunus population is equal there far more than any of the other kingdoms too so you can't take advantage of your white fang contacts or your pro-faunus reputation."
"And why would we go into Vacuo for their gambling rings and pit fighting when the two businesses have been destroyed?" I questioned further. "Surely the power vacuum is filled by now."
"Vacuo has a strong audience for gambling and pit fighting." He said simply.
"You're not allowed into Vacuo. There's always an audience for crime in any city." I denied. Roman frowned. "Now tell me why you want into there in the first place. Obviously Vacuo holds nothing for us. Mistral has a well established crime ring and a land fit for nature's bounty to take advantage of should we need more land, which we quite clearly don't considering more than a fourth of patch is bought by us. So what are you looking for?"
Roman still hesitated. I gave him a moment.
"Vacuo is tough." He admitted. "The crime there has grown rugged and violent, not that they ever weren't. Every gang member is a fighter. Even before the killing years ago that set off the gang war the crime there was rough and tumble to the extreme. It's also vulnerable right now and nobody's made a move. I want those tough people with me. I want to recruit them."
"Why?" I questioned.
"Mistral is established as far as crime goes. Very, VERY established. A few families stretch back over a hundred years. Before the great war started sort of old. They're powerful too. I want that power they have but for that, continuing the violence you and the boss seem to support, I need fighters. Attacking Mistral means bringing all the alliances down on me. I need support for that. Power. Vacuo is a well of untapped power but just for right now. I need to go there if I want at the holy grail of crime, being Mistral."
"I see." I mutter.
"No, you don't boss." Roman says seriously. I narrow my eyes at him as he sits straighter in his chair. "Do you know how many crime bosses have had control of a whole city before?"
I don't answer.
"None." He says crisply. "Not one. Never ever in the history of ever. Sure there have been conglomerates of five families or so forming a council that controls the crime of the city but never has there ever been a boss like me. I have all of Vale with me. I have the throne right here under my ass." Roman slapped the arm of his chair for emphasis.
"But I can go farther." He continued, a fervent tone entering his voice. "I can BE more! Right now Vacuo looks like shit and Atlas keeps crime in a deathgrip, military fanatics that they are, but imagine what the future could hold? I could have all of REMNANT with me if I have their crime. Every lowlife, robber, and thug would know me."
A little pride and longing went into Roman's voice. "I'm already going to be in the history textbooks as is but I could be more than a significant figure in some class. I could be the man who united all of remnant under one banner. I could be the guy. People would think of crime and think of me. I could be the king. That's a dream but it could be more. I want it to be my goal because that could happen. It doesn't have to be something I only see when I'm asleep. I could see it every minute of every day."
"But there's a problem, obviously." Roman said, some anger coloring his tone. "Unity. I'm a puppet, boss. I know that damn well. Raven beats that into me plenty and you don't say it but you prove it through her. I'm just a figurehead even if I'm slowly getting to be the real thing. A real king. I can't move without you on board. I need your to move myself as much as I hate it. You put the crown on my head and you can make my little empire more than just one city under us. It could be the world. You just have to reach out and take it. Take a risk, boss, and the world is yours."
I was silent. Take over the world? I could. Vacuo is easy to grab and it has tough people at least though it has no wealth. It's wealth is in people. I could have them and from there, the people of the harsh desert, ride out and forge an empire like some sort of Genghis Khan and own everything.
Mistral could fall if I threw everything at it. It really could. A little forged evidence here, a little murder here and I have a gang war there where Roman can swoop in and steal the show. It could all be his. It could all be mine.
But why would I do that?
I don't want to be the crime boss. I don't want to be the pawn. I want to be me no matter who that is. So why would I disturb what's not hurting me? Roman's greed isn't my own…
I fought back a sigh and looked towards Neo. In her eyes was admiration for Roman and some sort of devotion. Not like an obsession but more of a respect so profound that she would follow Roman anywhere.
"You don't care." Roman says in a sort or revelation. I glance away from Neo and back at him. "You don't want the world." He speaks like I'm doing something completely illogical. Like my lack of ambition for Roman is insane.
"You don't want to expand. You don't care for the money or the fame you could have. Do you even care for the power?"
"Somewhat." I admit. "The convenience of having others under my employ can't be denied. Plenty of problems have been solved by you, Roman. However, I don't care if you expand beyond Vale or not. I just want Vale and even then that may change in a few years and I would let the gang fall to you. Raven doesn't care about Vale as a whole either… Do you know why she follows me?"
Roman is silent, just staring at me trying to wrap his mind around how I wouldn't want the world on my shoulders.
"Because I care about family only." I say easily. "My sister and her specifically. I come second to them. Friends come third to me. Beyond that I do whatever feels best to me. Raven is the same. She chose the tribe of hers to be her family. She would throw away a daughter by blood of hers if it meant her tribe and it's principles were whole. Besides that I'm more powerful than her and so she follows me. I don't care about the world being in my hand. I want the world to do what it can for my family and myself. That's why the gang of yours is where it is now. Because it benefits my family. That is all."
"If you want to take Vacuo go ahead… but you won't receive any help from me and if Vale is in any way compromised, if I see your control over it slipping, you'll be properly punished. Raven will do the same as I. none of the tribe's members will go to Vacuo with you. You say you want to be king? Do it yourself. I'm not bringing you any further than it suits me."
Roman was grim. "Alright… how can you just not care?"
"Because I don't see the value in the world." I say with a small tired smile. "What's the use in owning everything if all that matters is a few things?" I make a portal and step into it. It closes quickly with Roman looking down blankly at his desk. With a breath I get back to what I was doing.
Sleeping.
"But teacher-sama! I… I want to be taught!"
"Oh? Taught what, my cute little student?"
"I want to be… I want to learn to… to…"
"To what?"
"To be beautiful!"
"Ah, but my adorable student you are already the most beautiful person in the room."
"Says who?"
"Says I-"
"Hey, Bella, want to…"
"AGH! Qrow! What, um, it's not what it looks like!"
"…"
"Umm… hi mister Branwen."
"What the… Bella you're dressed like Glynda decided to seduce some poor bastard and left a bra at home, the cat-girl is in a MINI SKIRT and some stupid sailor outfit… what the hell is this?!"
"I lost a bet to Blake damnit! Shut up!"
"Usagi-chan's outfit is NOT stupid you old drunkard!"
"Blake please just be quiet."
"Bella while I appreciate that you decided to have a threesome with your student and I she's pretty young for-"
"SHUT UP!"
