"Helloooo! You've reached Jaune Arc! If I'm not answering, it means I'm probably off somewhere fighting monsters or... doing something really awesome like saving a cat, or the president's son! You know how it is, a leader's schedule can be really hectic nowadays, ha ha! Just kidding, I'm probably in school, but I'd totally do those things if I ha-- [BEEP]"

done.

[psycholawgy]

Not in the way you're thinking, anyway.

(1/2) and that would've been a great ending line but NAH

[corona]

Mmhm.

[ Why use words when you can hum your appreciation instead? Not unlike Jaune, she loses her train of thought in the ambiguous blue (still looks violet-y to her) of his eyes and says nothing for way longer than would be considered awkward. ]

[corona]

[ –only coming around when Pascal actually bites her ear. ]

Ow! Pascal! Ouch! What was that for?!

[ In response to Rapunzel's glare, the chameleon sticks out a tongue and stomps away to hide behind her recently warmed neck.

Still frowning and touching a finger tenderly to her ear lobe, she throws a glance at the elevator bank and sighs. ]

Um. Okay, well. Anyway, I've... never been to a hotel before. How does it work from here?

thanks a fucking lot asshole

[beaconed]

[ Did her chameleon just... ] I-I think Pascal might be hungry, too. Though shouldn't you and I be at the top of the food chain? H-Heh...

[ In response to her other question, he holds up the keycard with their room number on it. ] See this? This, uh, number? We gotta find our room-- our room that's, uh... h-heh... wow... we're staying in the same room, isn't that crazy... [ why did he just realize that now??? ]

[beaconed]

wow you got over it real quick there

so are we doing it

the investigation alliance i mean



do you wanna do it with me

[psycholawgy]

Is it just you and me, or are you bringing along more people with you?

sweet fuck all mate

[corona]

I know, right!? [ This is accompanied by bouncing up and down on her toes as she gestures for him to follow her to the lift bank. ] Crazy... Hey, is this your first time too? Weiss and I slept together but definitely not in a - a – A hotel like this. It's smells so clean...

[beaconed]

we can just text new info to each other
or talk about it during board games
you might know some things and i might too!

[ He doesn't want to have to tell her HOW he knows some things that he knows, since it could lead to revealing Shiho's secret. Hence... no other people involved! ]

[psycholawgy]

I suppose we can text each other every now and then.
And play board games, too.
Have you ever played Monopoly?

[beaconed]

no
is it like remnant: the game?
im good at that one but nobody believes me

[psycholawgy]

I don't know what Remnant: the Game is.

But Monopoly is like... you have money and start buying properties. The person with the most money at the end of the game wins. :)

[ not like the game ever ends... ]

gonna bust a plugga here

[beaconed]

I'm... experiencing a lot of firsts today, yes...

[ that can also be interpreted as thirsts ]

[ just kidding ]

[ but it's true ]


...wait, doesn't Weiss live with Ruby...?

[beaconed]

so its kinda like remnant
does it have trap cards?

[psycholawgy]

Nope, no trap cards.
Just rent cards.

text; some point post-event

[covenantal]

[ Specifically, after this takes place. ]

So I hear something pretty interesting happened to Rapunzel's old apartment.

[ no one could say he isn't the master of extremely polite shade ]

text;

[beaconed]

[ What, why is this news...! ]

define "interesting"
wait did she have to move out

text;

[covenantal]

I don't know about had to, but I did invite her to come live with us. We had a spare bedroom, and it seemed like a better alternative.

"Interesting" as in "set her kitchen on fire," but she did say it was an accident. I'd ask if you're alright, but it wasn't that recent, was it?

text;

[beaconed]

oh

[ Awkward... Jaune had offered her to stay with him, too, but told her to think on it before giving him an answer. Maybe she doesn't want to share a place with him after that kitchen disaster... ughhhhh, what a failure....... ]

thats good, im glad shes not alone

and i didnt set it on fire ok!!
it was mostly smoke and water
and maybe a broken appliance or two
but that was before the fire
the almost fire
there was totally no fire

[corona]

Which floor again? –Oh, um. I'm... not sure! There wasn't anyone around when I was there, I... don't think. [ Shit, what if she'd taken Ruby's spot and she hadn't even known!?

...It's a possibility that makes Rapunzel groans internally, hitting all of the buttons on, you know, the off-chance one of them is correct. ] She must hate me now for sure...

text;

[covenantal]

You should stop by sometime, Jaune. It's usually pretty lively around here.

Huh. Right. No fire at all. Got it.

text;

[beaconed]

maybe i should
my place has been pretty quiet since my teammate disappeared
its kinda freaky

text;

[covenantal]

You're always welcome. It'd be good to see you. My friend Rise lives here, too, and so does Dipper.

Your teammate?

text;

[beaconed]

nora is a teammate like rapunzel but shes also from my world
have you ever had friends disappear from here yu?

[ Because this is a thing that happens and Jaune has had to get used to it for a long time. ]

text;

[covenantal]

[ ... ]

Yeah. That's why we had a spare room. My best friend from back home disappeared a few hours before we all got pulled into the abandoned part of the city. Actually, from what I've been told, that's the second time he's been here and left.

Sorry to hear about Nora.

text;

[beaconed]

[ How odd. Nora disappeared not less than a day before they got dragged to the dark parts, too. ]

me too yu...

do you know about the nexus code?
its where they all go [ Even Pyrrha... ]

that means we can get them back
as soon as we figure out a way to get there again!
