Faunus!Zwei is terrified of thunder, and wakes up just as a storm rolls in. The only other one(s) awake is Jaune (and Ruby?). Brotherly bonding time? (Not sure if Jaune is staying on Patch over some break, or if he comes over from Vale.)
A loud crack goes across the sky waking up the fanaus boy from his sleep, a loud Yelp coming out of his mouth. He looks around his room in fear. He thought about running to his sisters or his dad, but then frowned. He wasnt a baby. He was a big boy! And boys dont need sleep with other cause they were scared! To the second CRACK changed his mind and he ran into Ruby’s room and dive under the covers. Jaune open his eyes at the movement and lift the cover to see Zwei shaking like a leaf under it. Ruby snored, pretending to sleep at the moment. Jaune knew she wanted this to he a chance for him and Zwei to bond someway.
Jaune sighed and pulled up Zwei.
Jaune:Hey buddy. You okay?
Zwei:……
Jaune:Got scared of the thunder?
Zwei nods his head slightly.
Jaune:Hey it’s okay bud. You wanna stay in her with me and your sister?
Zwei look up Jaune, tears threatening to fall from his face.
Zwei:Can I?
Jaune:Sure.
Zwei began to smile before a another thunderclap and he clutched Jaune tightly. Jaune ruffled his hair telling him it was alright and Zwei began to fall alseep, light snoring coming from him. Jaune look toward Ruby to see her smiling at him.
Ruby:Good job Jaune.
She kissed him and cuddle up to him both slowly falling alseep.
Emerald: You're our slave now, (Smacks Jaune's ass) so move it!
Jaune: (Immediately turns around to Emerald) Did you just smack my butt?
Emerald: Uh, well...
Jaune: (Seething) My butt...
Emerald: Okay, I can see you're upset.
Jaune: (Growling) My butt!
Emerald: J-Just calm down for a secomd!
Jaune: MY BUTT!
Emerald: Cinder couldn't prepare me for this.
Jaune: (Lifts Emerald up and bends her over) I'm going to show you how smacking someone on the butt should really feel!
Emerald: And that's how I met your father.
What if we get Cinder using polarity, or hints of it, some shot where you can see metal panels shifting in the background?
Well with another Maiden fight at Amity, we may be seeing the retirement of the Pyre theory soon.
Either Scarlet Knight or Lancaster, all three are the types who would tiptoe around for longest, so when they did finally take any given step they’d be starving for it.
Had to go looking for this because you’re the only person ever to spell Jinn with one n
*a few weeks after salem’s defeat*
Yang: can’t believe this is finally over.
Ruby: i know, me too.
Weiss: what do we do now? I mean, with the relics, we can’t leave them all together, it would be really dangerous.
Nora: then we should throw them away right? That way no one will ever find them again.
Ren: we used the power of the maidens to finish salem, so i don’t think we can use the vaults anymore, and considering they attract grimm it would be better if we threw them somewhere far away from population.
Oscar: why don’t throw it in the ocean? people won’t find it there and the grimms would stay surrounding it, but since they’re gimms they won’t use them, that way even if someone tried to get them he would have to deal with several underwater grimms.
Ruby: thats a good idea.
Yang: sounds good for me too.
Blake: then i think is decided, we’re throwing them in the ocean.
Jaune: well, before we do that, i was thinking about something.
Ruby: what is it?
Jaune: we never really used our third question for the relic of knowledge right?
Weiss: yes, there’s one last question available since we managed to defeat salem without asking her anything.
Jaune: *picking up the relic of choice* then i know what i’ll ask her.
Ruby: jaune, what are you-
Jaune: jin.
*time freezes around them and a blue mist comes up before a tall blue woman shows up*
Jin: hello again childrens, its been awhile.
Ruby: *sheepishly* yeah, it is.
Jin: i still can answer one more question in this era, so, what is your question.
Ruby: well, i don’t know, jaune is the one who called you.
Jin: really? *turns to jaune who’s blushing and looking away* is there something wrong?
Jaune: *face as red as a tomato* d-don’t you wear any clothes?
Jin: i don’t have the need to use them, you can look if you want.
Jaune: *slowly turns to her, still trying to keep his eyes away from areas they shouldn’t stare* okay.
Jin: *chuckles* you’re a cute little one aren’t you?
Jaune: *blushes a bit more*
Jin: so, what is your question?
Jaune: well, you being the relic of knowledge and all, i think you know already what we’re going to do with all the relics right?
Jin: you’re planning to throw them in the ocean, i’m aware of that.
Jaune: so, my question is, are you happy? With y’know, being trapped alone into this relic for all this time and probably for the rest of your life?
RWBY,NR,OSCAR: *eyes wide in surprise.
Jin: *taken aback* what?
Jaune: are you happy with being trapped alone inside the relic?
Jin: …young man, are you sure that you want to use your last question for that?
Jaune: *nods*
Jin: *with a small smile* i must say im surprised, i never expected anyone to make me sutch a question, but no, i’m not happy being inside this lamp, being trapped there alone for more than a millenia isn’t exactly what you would call fun, i wanted to see the places i know on my mind, but i can’t, i am a prisoner from the relic *raising her arms* these shackles are a proof that i’m never going to be really free *looks down slightly* my job is to answer questions and thats what im going to do for the rest of my existence; or at least until the relic of knowledge exists.
Jaune: so, you can’t really be free because of the lamp?
Jin: yes, unfortunately.
Jaune: but what if the lamp didn’t existed?
Jin: it doesn’t matter, no one would risk a relic with unlimited knowledge just to free someone like me, my fate has already beeb decided, i’ll stay here forever.
Jaune: you’re wrong, we are the ones who decide our fates, no one can do that for us.
Jin: im afraid i can’t do that, not while i’m still trapped by the lamp.
Jaune: then lets take care of it *unsheathes his sword coating it in a bright white aura*
Jin: wait, what are you-
Jaune: HRRAHH *slashes the lamp breaking it completely*
RWBY,NR,OSCAR: *drops jaw on the ground*
Jin: *eyes wide and completely speechless* …why?
Jaune: this way you’re free right? Now you can choose your fate and decide what you want to do with your life.
Jin: *stares as her shackles slowly vanish* i-
*times starts to pass again and jin gets covered in a blue mist before falling on the ground*
Jaune: *hurry towards her* jin are you oka…*blushes deeply*
Jin: *now with a fair skin tone, blue eyes, blue hair, slightly shorter than jaune in height and completely naked* what? i’m…human…?
Jaune: *looking away with a dark red blush* i-i think so *takes off his hoodie handing to her* t-take it for now, at least you won’t be naked.
Jin: *eyes start to tear up before she leaps at him, trapping him in a tight hug* thank you…thank you so much…
Jaune: *blushing to an atomic level* i-i-its o-okay, d-d-don’t worry about t-that.
Jin: why did you freed me? I don’t think i can answer big questions without the relic.
Jaune: *trying to ignore the embarrassment and her naked chest against his shirtless torso* w-well, n-no one should b-be treated like t-that, i c-couldn’t let y-you t-t-trapped in there, n-now y-y-you c-can choose w-what to d-do with y-your l-life.
Jin: so, i can choose whatever i want?
Jaune: *nods*
Jin: *smiling and hugging him closer* then i want to stay with you, forever and ever.
Jaune: *blushing to a solar level* wait! What!?
RWBY,NR,OSCAR: …
Yang: is it me or jaune just smooth talked a hot ancient relic into being his girlfriend?
Weiss: honestly, i gave up trying to understand these things a long time ago.
Vernal: What about these two? *tears open her shirt*
jaune: gimme one reason why i shouldnt kill you.
vernal: because we're alone and we know theres a sexual tension between us
jaune:...
vernal:
Jaune: So anyway, Arslan says she wants to come with us so that’s cool. Does anyone have anything to say about that?
Nora: Why does Arslan keep calling you ‘Snuggle-Cub’?
Jaune: Does anyone have any other questions?
Yang: Look at this view, guys. And no, I don't mean my fat, juicy a-
Jaune: (Pushes Yang off the cliff) Get out of my way! I can't see the view! (Looks out) Damn. That is a nice view.
Yang: (Mid-fall, Clicks her teeth) You know, he's a dead man.
What the fuck. This sounds like a train wreck.
So yeah, might be better to just ignore it entirely.
Maybe it can be in the weird DC comics canon, it sounds about as coherent.
Due to the blatant murder of the personalities of basically everyone in the RWBY book "Before the Dawn", and the rampant harassment and bullying from the book's fanatics against people with valid criticisms, I'm not taking either of the RWBY books as canon. At all, aside from confirmed semblances. I just can't. At least not until E.C. Myers, Miles, and Kerry address and call out the harassment that's been going on by these fanatics to silence any and all criticisms of Before the Dawn, like with what was done to Coco, Velvet, Sun, and basically anyone that appears in that book.
Anyone who bullies people into silencing their criticisms are just plagues to the RWBY community, and to the world. It's silencing free speech which no matter where you are in the world, should never stand.
I honestly don't care about Coco being confirmed lesbian at this point anymore. It's tied to so much murder of character and so much bullying and harassment that it kind of just fucking ruins it.
You can hate me all you want, but I'm standing by my decision. The RWBY novels are not canon in my eyes. I will not change my mind until Myers, Miles, and Kerry The only thing that needs to change is the rampant bullying and harassment by these fanatics to silence any criticisms of the books, especially Before the Dawn.
And before anyone comes to this post about how I'm "just a RWBY hater", don't. Just don't bother. RWBY is one of my favorite shows ever honestly. It got me into writing, and inspired me to want to write my own book. I absolutely love RWBY and the work Miles and Kerry and everyone else have put into it after Monty's passing. Don't use this post as a platform to spread hate. Use it to spread criticism if you have to do something with it, but not hate.
Jaune "Ready to die for anybody" Arc and Winter "Scared to die for everybody' Schnee. IDK how to make it shippy but I thought it was a neat parallel.
Salem: Neo, have you considered that if you didn't kill everyone you had sex with, you might not be so frustrated?
Neo: *flips Salem off*
Mercury: Neo treats men like she treats her outfits, she cuts them up and burns the remains when she's done.
Emerald: Cinder does too!
Neo: *hurls glass at Emerald for mentioning that name*
Mercury: hahaha she missed because her arms are too little!
Salem: Neo, that's enough and you two should stop winding her up!
Scrolls are basically smartphones that seem to default to vid-calls, Adrian is probably aware of how that works.
Adrian wants to talk to aunt Ruby.
