Chapter 4: New Faces
You came to kill me? Well... You can try. - The Unforgiven
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Thanks for helping me out there, man."
A blonde male said as he patted the shoulder of F/n. He wore a black short-sleeved hoodie with detached reddish-orange sleeves and a dark brown image of the bunny rabbit Pumpkin Pete trimmed in white with cute black round eyes.
Covering his hoodie while also hiding the Pumpkin Pete bunny rabbit symbol is a white diamond-shaped chest plate cut off above his lower abdomen, and placed over his shoulders are a pair of white spaulders with rebraces set under them.
Below, he wears blue jeans with a white patch placed on the left knee and black sneakers which have "left" and "right" written in black on the respective shoes' soles. He has elbow guards with cords strung through them, and he wears black high tops.
The male has two belts crisscrossing his waist, both different shades of brown, with a pair of small pouches on them. He also wore some brown wrist-length gloves with exposed fingertips and small metal plates over the back.
F/n: You'll get used to it someday, man. Maybe sooner than you think.
Jaune: Glad you think so, I'm Jaune by the way. Sweet, short and rolls of the tongue, the ladies love it.
The white-haired male paused for a moment, silently cringing at back of his head. Trying not to hurt his feelings, he just made a small approval.
F/n: I'm glad they do.
The two went to chat for a while until Jaune instinctively feels his left hip, his eyes widened before jumping and looking around frantically. Did he forget his weapon? F/n tilts his head with a stupid look on his face.
F/n: Is something wrong?
Jaune: Uh...hmm... I think I forgot my weapon back at the airship....
F/n: Well hurry up, it's leaving in five minutes. You better run, boy!
Jaune: I'll be back!
The blonde male said as he ran as fast as he could back at the airship.
F/n: Good luck, Schwarzenegger!
He chuckled lightly, shaking his head off the thought of knowing how much Jaune was a huge clutch just right after meeting the guy. He turns back to his direction and continues on towards the entrance, the big arc that represents as a gate? Yeah, that.
Once passed the gate, he spotted Ruby having an argument with a female that like him, donned the "white hair shtick" and dressed of the same color. Luggage were sprawled on the ground so it must have been that Ruby crashed into her.
From the looks of it, the girl in white looked very furious. He wondered why and jogged towards them, trying to see if he could fix this possible misunderstanding. He approached the two, but now that he got a better look of the girl, he now understood why she was acting a little pissed over some fallen bags.
She was a pale-skinned young woman with pale blue eyes and long white hair that is often pulled back into an off-center ponytail or braid on the right side and pinned with a silver, icicle-shaped tiara. A scar runs vertically down her left eye and face,
She wears a thigh-length strapless dress with a faint color gradation from white to pale blue at the hem. A small piece of black lace sits in the front of her neckline and the hem of the dress is scalloped and stitched to resemble snowflakes, with layers of white tulle under the skirt. Over this, she wears a bell-sleeved bolero with the same color gradation as her dress from shoulder to wrist, lined in red and with a ruffled collar. On the back of the bolero is the Schnee Crest.
She also wears a small apple pendant on a silver chain and thin, rectangular silver earrings. Her boots are white, wedged heeled and higher at the back than the front. They have a small silver decoration across the top of the foot and are lined in red. A thin white sash is tied around her waist with a pouch attached to the back.
There's no doubt about it, this girl, is Weiss Schnee.
F/n: Ah fuck.... Now how do I handle this conflict of ours....?
Pondering for a quick second, he gently smacks his fist to his palm as he came up with an idea. It's not pretty, a little cliche and largely underrated move. He walked towards the both of them, nervous on how will his plan end as he didn't want anyone yelling at him. Especially when it's a Schnee we're talking about. You REALLY don't want that kind of bloodline screaming at your face.
F/n gave gentle taps on the two girls' shoulders, gaining their attention in an instant. The Schnee girl looked at him with a petrifying glare for men. Ruby, on the other hand, wanted some help with her rich girl problem. He then swallowed his fear and asked;
F/n: What seems to be the problem here?
In attempt to converse her problem, Weiss decided that it would be better to vent her suppressed anger out by talking. Even if it was a stranger.
Weiss: Well, this dolt just crashed into my stuff and spilled over some refined Dust on the floor! What's worse is that she exploded on us, we're lucky we were not blown off the side of a cliff!
Ruby: Hey! I said I was sorry!
Weiss: Sorry?! You think your "Sorry" will make it better? Look at my clothes!
F/n thought it would be a great idea to cut the conversation there. He learned enough to precisely asses the situation. Plus, he didn't any part of this war that's happening.
F/n: Excuse me, ma'am... Before my friend here sneezed... What were you doing with the Dust?
Weiss: Uh... I tried to make her understand why she shouldn't just bump into it. I was only proving a point!
F/n: By.... What means actually?
Weiss: U-Uhm... By waving a Fire Dust canister in front of her face..?
He let out a small sigh, as he grabbed the canister that Weiss was talking about. F/n closely inspects the container and saw a small crack at the lid.
F/n: Ah, that explains it. The container has a small crack, that's what caused her sudden burst. Therefore, fuel and heat are related to the two things needed to start a fire. Last one is oxidizing agent, in other words, her sneeze.
Weiss: So, what are you implying? That it's my fault?
Ruby's eyes sparkled as she saw that one of her recent friends defended her from terror.
F/n: Yes, the explosion was sort of your doing. My friend here just so happened to be in the "wrong place, wrong time" situation.
Weiss: G-Guh..! Do you know who I am?!
F/n: You're Weiss Schnee, heir of the Schnee Dust Company.
Weiss: Well, at least you know of it..!
F/n: The same company who promote Faunas laborers making a minimum wage of 6 lien an hour and rumored to have some very questionable business partners.
Weiss: W-What?! How dare..! The nerve of... UGH!
After that, she left with a huff. When she was nowhere in sight. Ruby jumped on F/n and bear hugged the poor guy.
Ruby: Thankyouthankyousomuch!
She screamed into his blazer, making him chuckle at her antics. His hand trailed to her head, giving the girl in red some small head pats as she snuggled up on his chest. The two then looked up at Beacon with a smile on their face and continued on. Assuming that either two knows where the ampitheater is.
