Details
Greetings. My name is Weiss Schnee. I'm a Huntress and a member of team RWBY. I hail from a world called Remnant, and I was once a citizen of the kingdom of Atlas.
I tend to wear my hair in different ways. Why don't you tell me which style you think suits me best?
To learn the ins and outs of this resort, mostly. And of course, get back to Remnant, where my friends are.
With regard to the games here? Let's just say I'd like to upgrade my suite.
For combat related talents, I am an exceptional fencer and my swordsmanship is beyond compare. My Semblance allows me to create Glyphs, as well, which make me capable of performing feats like making shields and platforms, time dilation, or summoning creatures that are under my command. I'm also very proud to say that I know a thing or two about making weaponry; I did, after all, design my own weapon.
Of course, I'm not just all work and no play. I'm a skilled artist, with a talent for dancing, playing the piano, songwriting, and singing. I've performed in front of my kingdom many, many times, and even my fellow students at Beacon loved my performances.
You should also see how 🥨flexible🥨 I can be.
I've read many books since I was a child, as reading is one of my favourite past times. The classics never get old, such as: The Boy Who Fell From the Sky, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Corpse Doctor, amongst others.
I tend not to watch movies, and I only do so when people invite me out. As such, I don't really have a favourite. Maybe you can invite me to watch a movie with you and change my mind? 👉👈
When it comes to my taste in music, I do enjoy operas and ballads, but I've also branched out and have been listening to pop and rock songs. There's just rap which I don't quite understand...
And lastly, for food, I am typically not a very picky eater. I like to eat light and healthy, so salads, quinoa, and granola are in my usual diet. I do love frozen yoghurt best, though! Especially blueberry flavoured frozen yoghurt. That would be my favourite. And crepes, of course!
I haven't had time to sit down and think of what kind of partner is ideal for me. Of course, somebody mature would be best, because I have no interest in childish things. Someone who will look out for me, give me attention and affection, and call me a good girl. 💙💙💙
Someone I can have an intellectual conversation with over either coffee or tea, or someone who can challenge me and push me to my limits would be best. I'd like to grow as a person as well, after all.

[ There's Kazuya too, but explaining that her soul and his soul are bound together by a contract is a little complicated to explain. Not to mention, she wouldn't be able to, because that's a direct breach of contract agreement. ]
The staff will pretty much grant you any request if your rank's high enough. So long as it's within reason, anyway. Or if you tell them that if they do as you say, it'll get you really horny.
[ So, so sorry for making you hear those words, Hiyori... ]
Liking sweets isn't childish, no. But liking sweets too much that you eat cookies for dinner is! I'd never do that, and I would hate to have someone think of me as someone who does that just because I like sweets!
[ It's all about image, when it comes to this. Weiss has her own anxieties. Some of them are all so very small compared to the rest of the world's problems.
Problems like how she doesn't want people to think she's childish, or problems like being late in giving someone their birthday present. When Hiyori tells her that she doesn't have to apologise, she finds herself relaxing some, and the smile on her face grows wider. ]
I'd love to try them all. Maybe it might make a good snack with tea, anyway? Or what would you suggest to pair with them? I can always get the kitchen staff to make something.
[ And it does look like she's about to click on some things on her watch and make an order for a new set of beverages when Hiyori brings up party poppers and party hats, Weiss' eyes go wide in excitement, but she still looks like she's doing her best to contain herself. Pop! And she watches the confetti slowly fall to the ground. ]
That's cute. Was it difficult to pull? [ A beat. ] You do have to pull on something, right?
[ She's never used a party popper before!! She wants to try one... ]
no subject
You must be close.
[To not only allow him access to her suite, but to let him live there full-time. And to allow him into her bed, while she was living in her old suite. ... for napping! Not for other stuff!
Though, depending on what kind of "close" relationship they have, it might also be for other stuff. Which is why there's a bit of a teasing lilt to his words. At least there's no obnoxious winking or eyebrow-waggling, though. But speaking of eyebrow-waggling...
"Horny" was not a word he ever expected to hear out of her mouth. He's not a fan of the word, but hearing it from a pure princess-type rather than a rude-and-crude guy makes it more funny than offensive.]
... clever!
[He smiles again.]
Have you told them you'd find it extra-stimulating if they let us all go home? Perhaps they'd consider that request.
[(He knows they won't. And she's surely already thought of it.)
As for the comment about cookies, he blinks before smiling brightly again.]
That sounded awfully specific. Now I'm starting to think you do eat cookies for dinner. But you're absolutely right—eating them for dinner would be silly, so it's best to have them as an afternoon snack! ♪
[At an elegant tea party. That would suit her image for sure!
In response to the question about what pairs well with the sweets, he says:]
Usually green tea. I'd go with a light roast for mochi or daifuku, but a strong aroma goes better with the really sweet stuff. Certain kinds of black tea can also pair well, though.
[Then he blinks as something occurs to him.]
Is there a bell you can ring that'll make them come over? Or do you have the staff on speed dial? You don't have live-in servants or anything like that, do you?
[He's not sure how all this works. His family home had servants, but here, he's a lonely rank 8!
They can boss around the staff in a minute, though. First: party poppers!
Her reaction makes earns a grin and he cheerfully replies,]
Sort of! Here, I'll show you!♪
[He takes two more party poppers out of the bag, passing one over to her and then holding the other in his hands.]
All you need to do is twist and release!
You grab it with both hands, twist the base right here—
[He demonstrates with a quick, forceful twist.]
—and then release! ♪
[Sure enough, with a loud popping sound, the other end of the party popper releases a burst of confetti. It's shiny gold confetti, to be exact, since this is the Golden Peacock after all.]
See? Easy! ♪ Just make sure to aim it away from your face. And my face. I would look cute wearing glitter, but I don't want to get any flecks in my eye!
no subject
I... suppose. We met here and he helped me out at first, because he was a wildcard and was treated like a royal when he first arrived. He ended up being a rank 2 when he checked in, though, so I wanted to help him out as much as I could in return.
He's the sweetest guy I've ever met.
[ Okay, maybe not quite as honest just yet, but maybe she'll tell him a little more about Ragna once they're seated and are enjoying their snacks. They've still got to set up all the stuff Hiyori brought with him, so it shouldn't take long before they can settle down. ]
Honestly? I've never tried. I doubt they would do anything about us going home... They'd just tell us to have sex.
[ Horny? Sex? Sorry for your ears, Hiyori... Weiss doesn't find these words vulgar now given where they are. She still isn't the type to curse, though. ]
There's an app that calls for service, and a staff member can just come in on their own once I give them permission. [ Best not to ask how it works. The House works in mysterious ways... ] Should I ask for some green tea, then? I don't think I've tried that before, either.
[ So, you know what? She'll decide for the both of them after saying all that! A few beeps on her Watch, and then a noise of a message being sent. A notification of a message being received dings after that, which is basically an automatic response that the staff has received Weiss' order and will be delivered to her soon. ]
There, order placed. Nothing for you to worry about - let's just have fun today. A stress-free birthday party.
[ Now then, onto learning how to use a party popper! Taking the one being offered to her, she inspects the top side and then the bottom, trying to see how it works before Hiyori can provide a demonstration. Her eyes are on him when he does, her hands moving quick as she tries to twist the lower end of the party popper she's holding. It looks like it has to be done quickly, so pointing the party popper in the opposite direction of Hiyori, she adds a bit more push when she twists the party popper.
POP! And Weiss lets out a happy squeal, absolutely delighted to have confetti flying around, falling ever so slowly like the snowflakes outside. ]
I did it! [ She sounds like a three year old right now with how elated she is. She even turns to Hiyori, and presents the space behind her where confetti's falling. ] I did it!
no subject
Then it's a good thing you love sweets! ♪
[... With a joke about her sweet tooth. That's how.
He really is happy that she's found someone like that, no joke. But now isn't the time to question her or talk about "love." That's what you'd call "girl talk"—the kind of thing he and Arashi and the others talk about at Pretty 5 meetings! And he knows from experience that those conversations are best had over tea and cake. (Or expensive lattes and cake. Or coffee and pie, or crepes. There's usually some kind of sweets involved! But basically, it can wait a minute.)
Weiss's response about the House is what he expected. He can't get mad or feel disappointed, really. He just nods and smiles grimly.]
Yep, that's what I figured. You "royalty cards" might have plenty of sway over the staff and the lower ranks, but you're still below the House in the overall pecking order.
[He speaks matter-of-factly, not trying to be spiteful. He doesn't mean to be a downer, either. They're gathered here for a party; they're supposed to have fun! So, he'll try to look on the bright side.]
Still, better to live in a gilded cage than a cardboard box out on the street. Or a big aquarium tank instead of a plastic bag~♪
[He gestures to their environment, to her big shiny suite. Surely hearing that will cheer her up.
He's at least suitably impressed when she tells him about having the staff at her beck and call via an app. He smiles and says,]
So it's like room service.
[Rather than a personal chef or live-in servants. As a noble, he's familiar with both concepts! But it's good to know the staff doesn't live with her, or enter her room without permission. Whether they're willing accomplices or brainwashed puppets, the staff are still agents of the House, and he wouldn't want one of them living with him.
But he's more than happy to exploit them for goods and services. And that includes tea service!]
Then that's another thing we'll just have to introduce you to! ♪ But not all green tea is the same, so we'll ask for two kinds! Gyokuro, and matcha grown in Uji~♪
[Weiss is a queen, so she should milk that rank for all it's worth and drink the good stuff. That's his view!
Next comes her reaction to the party popper. He watches her pop one, and everything about her reaction, from her dazzled eyes to that happy little squeal, makes him feel fond. It reminds him of how easily-dazzled Nagisa used to be, by everything from desserts to the plants and insects he found outside; after being raised in captivity, that boy was easily impressed by just about everything. (Though hopefully Weiss's upbringing wasn't quite that sheltered.) She also reminds him of Mary, whenever she's introduced to a new toy. But he spares her the dog comparison and simply chimes back:]
Yep, you did it! ♪ And on the first try, too! Good job! ♪
[He beams at her, before he gestures to the bag.]
There are still some left, if you want to keep going. And I also brought party hats!
[He takes one out and places it on top of his head, tucking the string under his chin. It's a simple striped party hat with ruffles at the bottom!]
Did people wear these at birthday parties back in your world?
no subject
[ Tease or not, Weiss doesn't have it in her to have a violent reaction because of how honest she was just a few moments ago. Hiyori's taken her by surprise by saying something like that and all she can do after sputtering some words that make no sense is to huff as her face turns red.
She does have some stuff she wants to ask him, but that can wait until later, once they're seated and enjoying their snacks. ]
It is room service. We're in a hotel, after all. [ A crazy hotel. And by no means is the room service (or any other service in this casino) excellent, but... Weiss is able to take care of some things that she'd normally need help on because of these staff.
It is ironic, to not like this place, yet make use of the facilities and amenities. Just like what they're doing now! She has to make sure to be specific, sending a follow-up message to ask for the two kinds. If the botches the spelling, that's... fine? Hopefully the staff will understand.
With that out of the way, they can continue with their snack preparations. Or... at least, be distracted by the party poppers. She really is excited about being able to try one out! But now that she knows how it works? Yes, she will take that invitation to try one more. ]
Right. This is the last one, and— [ Because they're celebrating Hiyori's birthday? She takes one of the party hats to put on her head. No, she doesn't put it at the centre, but instead, puts it over the hairpin she wears on the side of her head. The accessory keeps the party hat in place, so she doesn't tug on the string to place it under her chin unlike Hiyori. And with that done? ]
I'm sure people who weren't at a party hosted by some stuck-up people have worn stuff like these. [ aka her friends ] My upbringing never saw me wearing anything like this, so this is also a first!
[ And with that? She starts singing! A cheery happy birthday, one that isn't too slow, but one that isn't too fast either. It's a very belated birthday greeting, but she hopes Hiyori will appreciate her little impromptu performance. At the end of it?
Pop! goes the party popper in her hand. 🎉 ]
no subject
[He's definitely laughing to himself at her reaction. But at least it's not the obnoxious, uproarious type of laugh.]
Makes sense! Even at Rank 8, you get cleaners coming through. I think it's only the basement-level suites that don't get any service.
[Jun's rank 4 suite has been rotting for months. It probably has chemical fumes seeping through the floorboards, crawlers knocking on the door, dust, dirt, and all kinds of other unpleasant stuff going on!
As for making use of the amenities in a place they both hate, well. That's something he does, too. He justifies it by telling himself that if they're already kidnapping victims, the least they can do is demand some good tea! But is that really the right attitude to take?
Right or wrong, it's how he is, and she needs any assistance with spelling or what-have-you, he's happy to offer it. But the order gets placed, and for now, they wait for their tea to be brought to them, which he assumes won't take too long. The staff won't want to keep a Queen waiting! And in the meantime, he watches the Queen place a party hat on top of her head, beaming when he sees the result.]
That asymmetrical look is cute. It's stylish, and it suits you! ♪
[Then he adds,]
I know exactly what you mean. I didn't wear these at parties growing up, either. But there's nothing to stop us now. We can wear as many cones on our head as we want! ♪
[He definitely grew up attending the same kind of stuffy formal events she's talking about. No pointy hats, no party poppers! But they can always make up for lost time, her and him both, and he figures this two-person party is for her sake as much as it is his.
Though she challenges that idea when she starts singing to him. It's something he didn't expect, and he blinks a few times, letting her voice fill the air. He hasn't heard her sing since the recital, which was months ago at this point. She has a nice voice, he remembers now. Soft and pretty like falling snowflakes.
He's smiling warmly by the end, the look in his eyes softened. It's less bright and dazzling than usual, less overconfident, less performative. It was sweet of her to do that and he feels gratitude for this whole party.
And then she ends things with an unexpected bang, setting off the party popper. His brows fly up and he gives a jolt!]
... haha!
[Then he laughs.]
Excellent finish! ♪ You've got the makings of a star performer. And for that, I award full points~♪
no subject
Now in her new and huge suite? She barely has to lift a finger. There's a big kitchen for food, but Weiss doesn't even do anything there beyond eat at the island counter since she thinks the dining room should only be used for fancy and formal meals. When it's just her and Ragna, she prefers to eat in the kitchen or upstairs in bed, and she's not the one preparing her meals. When Ragna isn't around, it's just a push of a button and she could have just about anything she could want.
Weiss does think this is a very excessive state to be living in in this place though, but right now, she wishes to use the facilities as much as she can. It may not be forever that she gets to have all this room and space and privilege.
So as they wait for their tea and get the party started, Weiss sings Hiyori a happy birthday. It's just a simple tune so there's no need for a full-blown performance, but the way she sings—so raw and bare—shows her sincerity and earnestness. Even if she couldn't sing well (which she can!), she would have done this for Hiyori, too. ]
Thank you, thank you!
[ Most of the confetti's on the floor now, but there are still specks of it very slowly falling down. Weiss takes the edges of her skirt to hold them away from her when she does her little curtsy. Hiyori's awarded her full points even if this is all just silly stuff, so of course she has to be over the top about it! ]
Right. Should we have a seat, then? The tea shouldn't take too long to arrive, so we can get started.
[ They can catch up! Talk about boys, what's the latest goss, or some other stuff. ]
no subject
But back to Weiss's birthday recital.
Her little curtsy is cute, the proverbial cherry on top of the ice cream sundae. He's happy to see her soak up his praise. But now that the song is over, the tea party begins!]
Sounds good to me!
[He turns toward the table and pulls out a chair, setting aside the already-popped party poppers as he chats away.]
You really do have a nice voice. We should sing karaoke sometime! We could invite Jun-kun along, too ♪ Or Rinne-senpai or Leo-kun, or anyone else you know who can sing. And if they can't sing, they can play the tambourine~♪
[But they have more than just music to talk about. He crosses his legs beneath the table and looks across at her, smiling a tad mischievously.]
Anyway, what would you like to talk about? I don't mind hearing more about your roommate if you want to talk about him. The one who's sweeter than any other guy you've met! ♪
and then rl kidnapped me...
[ So, yes, Hiyori! She'd be more than happy to go do karaoke with you and the other idols sometime. She wouldn't really know what to expect though, but she does hope to learn the ropes from her friends once they try it. ]
Is there a place we can do that here? I'll ask Nami if she wants to go some time.
[ Of course her hotel bestie is the first person she'd think to invite, since she knows that they've got common friends within the idol group.
And Hiyori asks about something (someone) else, and the said person happens to be Weiss' second choice to bring if Nami isn't free. She at least knows that Rinne knows Ragna, so at least Ragna won't feel too left out. He just won't be too sociable, and it's why he's not the first choice.
She does smile at the topic though, her cheeks unknowingly turning red just thinking about him. ]
You don't have to say those words again... It feels a little embarrassing when someone else is saying it. [ Weiss Schnee feeling shy? Who knew it was possible! But she will say though- ]
Ragna's... someone I met here. He's not from Remnant. He's grumpy and is like an ogre [ WHAT KIND OF DESCRIPTION IS THIS ], but he's also really, really nice and thoughtful.
He started out as a 2 of Diamonds, and he's afraid of ghosts, so I offered my suite if he needed a place to sleep in. Not- Not because I wanted to do anything with him... like collect his card or anything like that! But... because of the ghosts, I just couldn't let him stay down there in the basement everyday.
no subject
[Along with her first time popping party poppers, and her first time trying green tea and wagashi. He's taking so many of her firsts!
... in an innocent, friendly way, of course. Despite what he's about to say next.]
That's sort of the problem...
[He deflates a bit, his demeanor turning slightly awkward as he admits:]
The only karaoke machines I've seen are in those love hotel rooms. The ones at that "Mating Season" place. I'm sure not all the rooms have them, but that's where we've found them. We've also used those rooms for practice before, since some of them have floor-length mirrors. Although now that that university place exists, we can just use the actual rehearsal rooms there, so that's a huge step up.
[The idea of Mating Season pods having singing machines might sound strange to her, but it makes sense to him. Love hotel rooms back in his home country often have them, oddly enough. (How does he know that? No comment!)]
Anyway, we don't have to go there if it makes you uncomfortable. I'll see if there's anywhere else we can find them. If all else fails, you could always buy one! You must have plenty of chips to spare, right? Or perhaps you could get the staff to bring you a karaoke machine free of charge! ♪
[He's not exactly sure how purchases work when you're a "royalty card." Does the staff just shower her with free gifts all the time? If not, they should!
But now time to talk about boys.
Or ogres. Weiss blushing cutely and calling him out on embarrassing her only makes him smile, though he does apologize:]
Fufu, sorry! ♪
[Is he really that sorry?
He's all settled in to hear her talk about the guy she apparently loves, but her description definitely earns an eyebrow-raise. His eyes widen and he repeats:]
An ogre? That sounds scary!
[Should he be concerned??
Apparently not. This person is grumpy, but he's also "really nice and thoughtful!" He's someone who's been splitting a room with Weiss for a while, even before she became a Queen rank, which presumably means she trusts him. And it also shows she has a noble heart—the fact she'd offer to share her living space with someone she can't have known for more than a matter of months, just so they wouldn't have to deal with... er, ghosts, she said? Goodness, he forgot the basement has those.
By the end of her explanation, he's smiling warmly again.]
You're a very sweet girl yourself ♪
[It had to be said first of all.]
He became less grumpy thanks to you, I assume. I sort of had that effect on Jun-kun—he didn't used to smile much, but after being warmed by my sunshine for so long, he became a lot less dark and gloomy! ♪
no subject
[ In case the issue was about where they would need to go and all. If there's a will, there's a way! And there will almost always be a way if a royal is involved. ]
And... I suppose we can use the main hall? Or if it needs to be in an enclosed room, then we can put it in the library. [ She shrugs her shoulders, not really sure of the specifics needed for karaoke. ] I guess that might work?
[ Something to plan for later! They've got "more important" things to talk about, like boys. And it isn't even something she's used to doing because she never really liked opening up to people before... especially about someone she liked. If it was someone she didn't like, then she'd be more open about it. This is foreign territory, but she'd like to think that Hiyori is a good listener and is a safe space for her secrets and worries. ]
He's still pretty grumpy up to now, but it's like... even though he is, he doesn't really mean it? [ Does that make sense? It does to her. What she doesn't seem to realise is that she's the same - she's that kind of person too. ]
I didn't think Jun was grumpy, though! He doesn't look like the type, but you know him better. I'll take your word for it.
[ To that, she lets out a soft laugh, covering her mouth with her hand when she does. ]
Actually, I wanted to ask about you and Jun... Nothing too detailed or anything, but... [ The tea hasn't arrived yet and they haven't started snacking, but she supposes that it's alright to get on with what she wanted to ask if Hiyori doesn't mind. ] I wanted to pick your brain about. . . dating. [ A beat. ] Here.
Because I think I'd like to pursue a relationship with him.
[ But her fears weigh far too much in her head. ]
no subject
[Later he'll decide they should invite Ragna along. That'll be funny. And speaking of Ragna...
He nods with apparent understanding when she says he's grumpy but doesn't mean it.]
I know that type! Those types are so funny. Even though it wouldn't kill them to be more honest. But their dishonesty is part of what makes them cute...♪
["Tsundere" is what Rinne would call that type. As for how Jun used to be, his eyes grow a tad softer as he explains:]
Maybe "grumpy" isn't the right word. But he didn't used to smile as much. He was awfully serious, and he was carrying around some negative emotions. Not that I can blame him, really. I'm just glad he's found things to be happy about ♪ Things like his dazzling idol career, and of course, me! ♪
[Said without any shame.
But then they get to her last point. With a cute blush, she asks him, in a halting tone of voice, about... dating. "Here." What it's like to date here. Because, as she confides in him at last, she wants to date that person she mentioned.
It's hardly a surprise. He should've guessed that's what she was getting at. But his smile tightens just a bit, even as his tone remains casual and the look in his eyes stays soft. He's not bothered that she wants to talk about it, but it does serve as a reminder that him and Jun don't have things figured out—that they're still stuck in an environment that isn't right for them.]
Cute~♪
[Said in response to her last confession.]
I'm not sure how it compares to dating elsewhere, since I never really dated at home.
[An admission of his own.]
It means we can't have a big suite like this one, so I guess there's that trade-off. But if I had to choose between "Jun-kun" and "more space," I'd easily pick Jun-kun. Which sounds a bit mushy, so don't tell him I said that, alright?
no subject
[ Whether or not Ragna is there, Weiss would be so thrilled to try karaoke out. She likes to sing and is damn good at it, but she also likes to dance! That's unfortunately something that she doesn't get to do all that often. Especially here.
Speaking of her roomie, though, she can't help but laugh at the descriptive word "cute". While she won't say that out loud without Ragna's consent (she just KNOWS he's going to start yelling at people if he found out that he got called cute), the very thought makes her smile. "Tsundere" was once a term Rinne used to describe Weiss, but it definitely applies to Ragna, too. ]
Exactly!
[ As for Jun... ]
I can't really imagine it. I'm glad though. I'd like to think that he and I get along pretty well, so... [ She's glad that they get along! And if that's somehow because of his dazzling career and Hiyori? Then that's also something to be glad about. ] Good job in being a good influence.
[ And she would have continued to be be proud if not for the way Hiyori reacts to what she wants to ask him. She tries to put up a brave front, but her cheeks have turned red. She's at the edge of her seat as she listens and realises that Jun and Hiyori are... exclusive. Aren't they? That's what it sounds like. ]
Oh! That's- unexpected. [ She brings up her hands as she shakes both those and her head. ] I mean, not you choosing Jun over more space, but just-! I somehow thought that you and he found a way to date while playing the game.
What will happen if there's a game, though?
no subject
[There's plenty of room to dance in her huge suite. He'd have fun planning parties for a space this big and beautiful. But he'll never have a suite like this here, for reasons she's about to find out. First, however, he addresses her "good influence" comment with a smile and a wink.]
Yes, that's me, alright! Though you don't need to congratulate me. Jun-kun's the one who should be thanking me!
[It's a running gag at this point: him reminding Jun that Jun should thank him and show gratitude. The truth, of course, is that Jun's growth is a result of Jun's own efforts first and foremost. And for as much as he takes care of Jun, Jun also takes care of him, to the point where, somewhere along the line, Hiyori became pretty dependent on him. Especially in this place. Why, if Jun disappeared...
He doesn't know what he'd do.
It's a constant worry. One that her next words manage to dredge up. She says she'd thought they'd been playing the game, but of course they haven't been. It's something they talked about recently: Hiyori was afraid they might be punished if they continue to ignore it, but Jun, well—Jun didn't seem so sure. And neither one of them actually wants to play. There is a loophole he's heard of, but even that's sort of nerve-wracking, and Jun wasn't too sure about that either. He's at the point where he's not sure what to do next. So if she was hoping he'd have all the answers, well...
He snaps back into focus at her "game" question. Does she mean Game 52? Nope, that's not "a game," that's the game, so she must mean those suit-based games.]
Well, the Hearts one didn't require any infidelity. And the Clubs one got interrupted by whatever that stuff was. As for that one with the animals, we basically hid in our room all week.
[In other words, they've never been put in a position where they were forced to sleep with other people.
Even if they never are, though, there's still a bigger issue to contend with. And his shoulders sag as he remembers it, expression turning cloudy.]
But we don't even have any hope of getting out, since they say that "52" thing is the only way to go home. So we've been trying to find other ways, but it's been six months already. And the longer we're stuck here, the more desperate our situation starts to feel.

[ Weiss in a dancing mood is always a mood, so there's really no question of "when". Still, she'll need to read up more on karaoke and make sure that her suite is prepared to host such a thing before suggesting it to Hiyori again. Though, she supposes they can hit up a karaoke bar first and do it at her place the second time around.
It's something to plan for later on. Weiss listens to what Hiyori has to say while reflecting on her own experiences. If she dated someone, she honestly... would still play the game. Not because she wants to, but because she has to in order to go home. Hiyori, on the other hand... ]
I have to admit, I admire how you're able to stick to not go crazy in this place when it comes to collecting cards.
[ She was like that when she first arrived, but not because she was committed to someone else. It was because she found the whole thing to be beneath her. Funny how that's changed now. ]
I know you're not asking for advice, but have you considered. . . having other partners? I mean, the both of you with another person.
[ A threesome, basically! ]
no subject
You're surprisingly adventurous.
[Suggesting group sex, when she seems like a prim-and-proper sort of girl. He guesses she really did sleep her way up to a Queen rank!
Then he frowns. It's true that Eve has a song where they basically invite the listener for a three-way, but...]
I don't know if we could do that. That'd mean someone else got to touch Jun-kun, no? And I don't like that idea, since he's my property!
[... yeah, this is their problem. He's the jealous type!]
no subject
[ Yeah, maybe the suggestion is a little adventurous! Weiss just realises this now, when it's too late to take back what she said. She'll just be embarrassed about it forever, it seems. ]
It just seemed like a logical solution to the issue, that's all.
[ But given the other factors like Hiyori's possessiveness, which Weiss won't judge at all, she does reconsider. ]
It doesn't mean that the other person has to touch him. There could be some conditions to the whole thing... like, maybe this other person just has to watch or entertain themself? Or they could be with another person too, that means you and Jun can keep your hands to yourself while the other's busy with someone else.
[ It's not even a threesome anymore FGFHJ now she's talking about an orgy why Weiss ]
no subject
I guess that's one way to put it.
[It's his own fault. He keeps seeing her as one thing: a prim and proper princess, living in her own palace-like suite. But she can also be tough, and she's surprisingly bold about certain things.
For example: talking about sex! It's something she can do, apparently. Hiyori, meanwhile, almost never talks about the mechanics of Game 52 because he doesn't like to think about it. But he and Jun did recently talk about ways to potentially obtain cards, and it was Hiyori who suggested exploiting a loophole he heard about. One that sounds exactly like what she's describing.]
You've heard about that, too, huh?
[That "loophole."]
I asked Jun-kun about it. He seemed sort of reluctant. And well, it's not like I don't know how he feels. Putting on a performance like that would tarnish the squeaky-clean images we built at home.
[It's hard. Everything about their situation is hard. He manages to smile a bit, though, trying to come off as reassuring.]
But he said he'd consider it. And as for me, I decided I'm willing to drag that clean image through the mud if it'll help protect Jun-kun. You have people you want to protect, too, right? So I'm sure you know what that's like.
no subject
Had Hiyori and Weiss met earlier on, she'd be a lot more reluctant to talk about sex. Even up to now though, even if she's a lot bolder, there are some words that she can't and refuses to use. Sure, she'll play the game, but it won't turn her into a vulgar person. She refuses to go down that route. ] ... isn't really a game. Having someone else be there feels weird.
I just thought it would be a good suggestion.
[ Her lips form a small, but almost forced, smile. Weiss isn't in a relationship, but she has told Hiyori a bit about Ragna. Maybe it's okay to talk about him a little more? ]
No one here will see you differently, at least. I can guarantee you that much.
[ Back home? It will be a different story, but if Hiyori worries about maintaining a clean image... he doesn't have to here. Though she understands that what you do here would be something you'd take back home with you, even if no one else knows. ]
Sorry, I didn't mean for our party to end up with such a serious topic. I'm not even sure how else to help, much as I want to.
no subject
[He nods along because it's true. If Jun wasn't here, or if he didn't have feelings for him, then the game would be a mere game. He wouldn't be thrilled about it, but he knows he's capable of playing—of treating sex and relationships like simple transactions. But having someone he loves around really threw a monkey wrench into things. He was doomed from the moment he saw Jun inside that clothing shop.
It's all very difficult and complicated. But he didn't mean to get them started on such a serious topic, either. His eyes turn sympathetic when he sees her looking abashed, and he tells her:]
It wasn't a bad idea. I had the same one, which means great minds think alike! ♪ It's just hard, that's all.
[For a whole host of reasons.
... He hasn't said this out loud to anyone, and he won't say it out loud to Weiss, either. But he's worried about the voyeurism idea for another reason: the idea of being watched really appeals to him. He's worried he'll like it too much, and that Jun will notice and think he's a freak. Which would be the absolute last thing he wants.
But enough talk about him and his relationship and his kinks. This conversation was originally supposed to be about her. So when she offers him an apology, he counters with a gentle admonishment.]
Don't apologize. I'd say you already are a help. Just being able to talk to someone normally feels like a relief. Someone who's not after anything like a "card," and doesn't have other ulterior motives.
[Someone like a friend, in other words.]
I'm just sorry I couldn't be more helpful. You said you wanted to pick my brain about dating, but I can't pretend I have all the answers. Still, I wouldn't worry too much. It sounds like you've already thought of some ways to play the game without cheating. So if you want to ask out Ragna-kun, I'd say you should do it~♪
no subject
I'm glad I can listen, then.
[ Her smile turns more genuine then. While she does agree that she isn't after his card nor does she have any ulterior motives, if his life was in danger and there was no other way to save him but play the game? She might just do it for his sake. ]
And that's okay!
[ She waves a hand dismissively. It's at this point that one of the House staff opens the door to their little balcony spot, wheeling in a trolley with their matcha. A blend of it is already served in tea cups for Weiss and Hiyori to drink, but the rest, should they want more, they'll have to make on their own with the pot of hot water and tea set provided. Weiss is momentarily interrupted due to this, but she quickly says thanks to the staff before letting them go their own way. The tea set and their cups are placed on the table, alongside the snacks that were brought for their little party. ]
Well, I have thought about it, but it doesn't mean that I'd be okay with it. Does that make sense? It's like... I know we still have to play, but I'd be upset if I heard about all the other things he does with other people.
I'm being a hypocrite, aren't I? [ She sighs through her nose then and shakes her head. Hiyori doesn't have to answer that! And she even changes the topic to show that. ] Anyway - does the tea look okay to you?
no subject
The matcha provides a welcome distraction from their Game 52-related woes. He watches while it's served, feeling eager to taste it!
Though he's not about to ignore what Weiss just said.]
It looks good! ♪
[The tea is a vibrant emerald green. The snacks they were brought look good, too, and he's also eager to try those. But first, he has something he wants to say, waiting until the
army of croniesstaff members have retreated.]You're not a hypocrite, by the way. I know I'd be all torn up if someone else slept with Jun-kun. That's why I shut him in my room during that week.
[The week of the Springtime game, he means.]
After the game was announced and all those guests went into a frenzy, I was concerned about our safety. But that wasn't the only reason I wanted to stick together. The truth is, I wanted to keep Jun-kun to myself from the very start.
[He reveals all this matter-of-factly, without much shame. He already admitted the truth to Jun, after all.]
I wasn't just looking out for him as his upperclassman or his partner. It was a lot more selfish than that. But since we're trapped in an environment that wants to break us down and make us lose sight of ourselves, that "selfish love" has also been our shield and our weapon. It feels like a liability, but it's helped us. Jun-kun said he accepts it, so I don't want to apologize for it. And I don't think you should have to apologize, either.
[He stops after that, his eyes flickering back down to the table spread.]
Anyway, want to see something cute?
[His speaks with his usual cheer now, reaching for the still-wrapped box of sweets he brought along.]
no subject
Oh, that's-
[ Damn, okay. Weiss honestly wasn't expecting that, but it turns out, Hiyori may just be able to understand Weiss more than she knew. She never did anything like that to Ragna, but it certainly was an idea that she thought of at some point during the game. What Weiss did instead was something else, and she got tamed for the brat that she was at the time gafhfj
Jun knowing and accepting Hiyori still after all that though. That's something that strikes home. She may not have asked Hiyori questions that led to that answer, but she needed to hear it. There may come a time that she might just do something like that, or even worse, after all. The last thing that she wants to happen is Ragna pushing her away. ]
I'm glad that the two of you have sorted it out. Thank you for sharing this with me, and for being understanding.
[ Any other thoughts she may have, she'll keep to herself for now because she needs to think long and hard about it all. Of how scared she is of this "selfish love" pushing Ragna away even more. Hiyori gave her hope though, and maybe she'll tell him another time.
Back to their party! And their snacks. ]
Hm... [ She's following where Hiyori's hands are going as she hums thoughtfully. ] Do the snacks look like animals?
no subject
Still, he wanted to encourage her. She looked happy and excited and bashful at the thought of being with the person she loved. And he didn't want to nip those nascent feelings in the bud. Just because "love" isn't encouraged here doesn't mean they don't yearn for it. That they don't feel it in their hearts and crave to be loved in return. They're only human, after all.
(Unlike Aak, who is a cat, which makes sex with him super weird in Hiyori's mind!!!)]
Mhm! ♪
[He smiles back warmly.]
You're very welcome.
[She seems to have gotten something out of what he said, and he's glad for it.
And now that they've gotten that discussion out of the way, they can their tea party! He chimes back:]
Got it in one! ♪
[And proceeds to open up the box.
They're not all shaped like animals. Some are shaped like flowers. But there are some animal-shaped ones mixed in there, including a few birds, since this is the Golden Peacock after all. He points his finger at a little bunny with a carrot.]
Aren't they almost too cute to eat? And the ones that aren't cute are "pretty!"
[He says the word "pretty" in English...]
no subject
Aww! Look at them! These are all so cute!
[ And to think they've just been sitting in the boxes because they had to wait for the tea. She could have seen these sooner! Cute as they are, she actually manages to not flip out too much and stays in her seat... even if she wants to pick one up already and put it in her mouth. ]
Are these the kinds of snacks you like eating? It feels little cruel to eat something so... intricate.
