"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]"

R-Rapunzel! Wow, hi! I-It's fine, I... think I swallowed a fly or something-- [ WHY IS THAT BETTER THAN THE TRUTH. Fuck, he quickly gets up to reassure her and change the subject by holding the leaf up. ]
--you mean this? Heh. The note didn't exactly have your name on it, are you sure you're not trying to take credit for someone else's origami work? Which looked cool, by the way!
no subject
But then it clicks: he got her message, oh, that's cool. She grins, then realises she must look like an idiot, stops, worries about him thinking she's mad at him for the choking thing, and grins again.
HAHAHAHA ]
Are you alive? [ akslfan ] I mean - are you okay. Wow, this is the first time we've met in person, isn't it? Heh. I think this robot is getting impatient or something.
no subject
[ HAHAHAHA no he's dying on the inside
jk
Jaune recovers fairly quickly, standing up as he tries to seamlessly wipe a tear from his eye. Hopefully she didn't notice that. ]
Robot-- oh, that. I-- [ Jaune doesn't waste time stepping in between her and the robot, attempting to shoo it in a different direction. Go away!! ] Hey, Mr. Roboto, sir? Ma'am? It...?? W-Why don't you let me show the rookie around, yeah? --No, no, that's okay! Yes, I know, I'll make sure she wears shoes next time, that's-- yep! Okay! Go now, be free! Do more robot things! Negatory! Affirmative! Beep-boop-bye!
[ SHOO, SHOO. ]
no subject
Polite laughter. Definitely the way to go this time!! ] H-Heh. I think he speaks plain German, Jaune. [ Plain what. ] Don't worry about it, he was very helpful. Thank you, Mr. Roboto! [ that is not his name.
Turning back to her, uh, rescuer, she flashes a slightly less unhinged smile. ] Wait. Did you just say you want to show me around?
no subject
...Hi.
no subject
I can understand you pretty well. You know, for someone who doesn't know much. [ Okay coming closer to see if he needs further help now. ] What language do you usually think you speak, Hero?
no subject
[ Siiiide steps as she comes closer, slightly turning away in tsundere fashion. Don't you make fun of him!! He clears his throat, trying to stand as straight as possible for maximum tallness. ]
--besides the one I'm using now, I'll have you know I learned a little bit of Japanese! Hah! [ Like...... ten words or so, courtesy of one Peko Pekoyama. ]
no subject
Japanese, huh. [ But in that case, she will spin away too! Albeit with a grin thrown over her shoulder. The people stopped in the halls have mostly cleared off by now. ] There are kind of a lot of Japanese people here, aren't there? For instance? I can say san already!

You know Weiss?! That's great! We can all hang out together! Man, school's gonna be awesome...! Rapunzel-kun. [ ? ]
no subject
[ That was completely the wrong thing to say and it's entirely too late by the time she realises this, yes. ]
Mm. Yeah. Heh! Weiss is wonderful. She's so brave. Um. Don't you, ah. Don't you - have class right now?
no subject
[ He tries to see the connection, other than the fact that it sounds like she's trying to get rid of him. That is Weiss! ]
W-Well, I guess the robot has shown you pretty much everything...
no subject
[ Come on J smile! ]
I could use a guide now that my old one's gone. I just - hope you don't mind playing... What was it. Uh– Hooky? I hope you don't mind playing hooky with me too much. If you want to.
no subject
[ ........ Okay, he's not entirely sure if he even has class right now. What day is it? Doesn't matter-- ]
--yeah. Okay! I'll play hooky with you! [ And he does smile, but it's that pathetically helpless kind of smile, as if he's just been spared from abuse. ] I'd be a jerk if I didn't after that note. Heh. Really...
D-Do you... need help with your books? That's quite a load there. Wow.

2/3 puts out fire on pants
[ He'd gotten her message and hadn't made fun of the trashy clover included and he's going to play hooky with her and it's going to be terrible. What a day. Is she getting him in trouble for this? Well, it's done now. ]
no subject
Good. Because playing hooky is expressly against the rules here and I want to be the first thing I do.
[ Nailed it. ]
Know any other school rules, Jaune-kun?
no subject
Pfwhaha... fff... hah.
[ Okay, now use words this time. Also stay in control!!!! ]
--you... like to break the rules?
no subject
No. I don't like to - break rules for the sake of it. [ This much is true. She'll also defer to his judgement at this point: wherever you go, you're leading the tour J! ] I've... just decided not to let anything hold me back from the things I want. Or the things I'm interested in.
Right now... that happens to include the rules. It might still include them depending on which ones you know.
no subject
Hm... I think I know where you're coming from. [ Pfft, who needs credentials to get into Beacon, right?! Eff that noise. ]
S-So what are the rules against hooky holding you back from doing the thing you want so much that you're breaking them? -- Not that I'm against it! Not at all... [ In fact, he's taking the scenic route to the lockers just to extend this tour. ]
no subject
Rapunzel wrinkles her nose as she's puzzling it out. ] Jaune... kun. Aha. What are you talking about?
[ The hammer drops after a handful of footsteps with just her ponytail bobbing and silence. ] Oh! ...Oh. Well. Namely that you aren't allowed to leave campus before classes are through for the day. I wanted to explore. And that groups of two caught trying to skip school will have to sacrifice credits? I, uh. I wanted to know what some of the empty classrooms would be like with you. [ WHAT?? she doesn't mean anything naughty by this at all!! ]
I... don't know if these are the actual rules, though. My source was dubious.
no subject
...
He just quietly picks it up again and makes no further comment. Just keep walking, Arc. ]
R-Right. Well! They're, haha... they're not actually that strict on truancy here, believe it or not. Unless your teacher happens to be human! ...ish! [ As in, not an npc robot. ]
You've never been to school, right? [ Now that he remembers her earlier revelation, that's probably what she means about seeing an empty classroom with him. Okay! Less nervous! ] You really wanna see it with me?
no subject
Oh who cares. She's doing her best not to look at him, fighting the growing wave of annoyance, whatever its mysterious source. ] Is that so hard to believe? You question yourself a lot you know. [ Yeah she's not the one coming up with excuses to– ]
...Of course I want to see it with you.
Anyway. It's a good thing we ran into each other, you! What rules does this place have if not the truancy ones? Can you not get arrested for bringing weapons or other items on school property either? That'd be good.
no subject
T-That's a good question, actually. I have my own locker from home that I keep my weapons in, sooo I never had trouble with that rule. ...Wanna see it?
[ Do you want to see him summon his rocket propelled locker that leaves craters in grounds when it lands? ]
--wait, why do you need a weapon in school?!
