Ayers nodded and grinned. "Yeah, I figgered we could go to the weapon shop down the street. I was gonna git me a side-arm fer 'mergencies, maybe combine it on one of my arms, make a main-arm-side-arm!" He giggled at his own joke. "I mean, if'n y'all're busy," Ayers waved vaguely at Raqib and Ieria, "I'll just go with Lumen. If'n I unnerstand that's what's goin' on here, I just, you know, saw a teammate, figgered I'd join in." Look, you'll just get it when you know someone you know is trying to get with someone. You should try to arrange things such that they get the opportunity to be alone. Contrary to popular belief, the better strategy is actually Hoes Before Bros. —The Illumination of Solus—Binding—Love 10:25 Ayers, specifically, was eyeing a nice wood-and-steel revolver in the window, something that he could draw quick, wouldn't need to spend time maintaining, and could be melded with his already highly modular arms.
"Your sister?" Pius would have spoken further, but thought better of it. "Hmm, interesting."
"And yes, Dies Irae Mark IV utilizes fifteen Dust mixtures of my creation. However, the transition to the storage system I planned to use for Mark V has proven...problematic."
"Let me guess," Innocent began, folding his arms in expectation. "It blew up in your face again."
"Of course not." Pius replied too quickly for his brother to believe him. The gray-eyed youth cleared his throat before continuing his explanation.
"Anyways, it seems that I managed to increase the overall storage capacity for Dies Irae by about twenty-five percent, but the new system can't handle holding and stabilizing all fifteen mixtures at once. So I'm probably going to downgrade to holding only six or three mixtures at once to balance between usage capability and versatility." Both of the Nobels present breathed in and out after that explanation, then Innocent turned the topic to Ruby's weapon.
"So, what does that red metal box turn into? Oh, and did Yang say anything about Sarah? My sister can be a little...affectionate to her friends sometimes."

Meanwhile, back in the booth, Jacob nodded as he began to color in the picture. "Yep, that's him! I know we don't look that similar, but— wait, 'the one the universe seems to hate?' What happened?"
Ruby grinned smugly. "So, you've noticed my sweetheart?"
Crescent Rose unfolded into a sniper rifle, which Ruby cocked. She twirled it, making it take its full form as a scythe.
"Made her myself!"
"And...um, Sarah? Yang...said something about....a restraining order?"
Chelsea and Remus had gotten a great window seat at the Mistrali restaurant.
"The couple special, miss?" asked the waiter.
Chelsea looked confused. "Couple?"
The waiter gave Remus a pity look....

Raqib actually laughed at the joke. "After all, if anyone needs arms, it's you, my friend." He intended the jibe to be slightly malicious but when the farm boy offered to give him and Ieria some space by hanging with Lumen, Raqib's smile finally reached his eyes. "Oh that'd be ever so kind of you. I was hoping to raise our dear friend's mood after somehow her radiant brilliance was overlooked. After all, I've been told this is a day that those in Vale celebrate love. Personally, I like to think that's every day for me but I will try extra hard on this day!"
He turned his beaming gaze to the girl. "What do you say, my dear? Will you allow me to be the prince to whisk you off for feet if only just for the day?"

"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValPius and Innocent shared a look when Ruby implied that Yang had taken out a restraining order on Sarah. Their mental conversation, relayed by subtle changes in expression in a fraction of a second, went as follows:
Yang's what, fifteen?
She should be, Pi.
Sarah probably groped her.
I can see why.
Who couldn't? If she grows into those things any more it'll be as if someone added miniature watermelons to her chest. Anyway, probably just a misunderstanding, and they'll go back to being friends.
Yeah, after making out to show her what it's like to kiss without a dude in the equation.
I really should talk to Sarah about that. Could get her in trouble someday, and she doesn't even know what she does to people.
Agreed. If I'm there when it occurs, you want video?
Dammit, Innocent, no. Even you don't record that stuff. She's our sister!
I know, I know. I'm just messing with you, Pi.
Return your attention to Ruby. She's showing us a rather interesting weapon.
"Yeah, mine's kind of like that, too!" Innocent said to Ruby as he released Fleshstripper
◊. It was rather large compared to its wielder, longer than half his owner's height.
"Mine's a chainsaw axe that transforms into a triple-barreled elephant gun!" Here he transformed his weapon into its ranged form, pointing the barrel at the sky.
"Fires three slugs at once with the same range of a sniper, kicks like a stallion! I've been building him before I went to Signal, when he was just a really sick tomahawk. I even customize the slugs so they can ricochet to hit behind cover!"

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%..."Well, I bet you'd be even more interested in seeing Dies Irae up close," Pius added. "But it's quarantined while the janitorial staff cleans up the mess over at the dorm."
"So it did blow up in your face!" Innocent accused, pointing a finger while he let Ruby handle Fleshstripper.
"Shut it, Innocent."
"Nah, man! You know how much that's going to cost us this time?"
"Nothing."
"You're damn ri—wait, nothing?"
"Nothing." Pius repeated. "Our acquaintance Gaston Scarlett has to pay for it, as restitution for previous activities."
"Sweet; I kinda figured he should pay for stuff more. He's a real douchebag, isn't he?"
"And I have to live with him now." Pius paused for a second, realizing something he'd almost forgotten with Ruby's appearance. "Oh, and speaking of living in places, do you think I can come back home for the weekend once I get Dies Irae out of the dorm?"
"Sure, Pi. We've been freaking waiting for you to call us at home."
"Sorry, first week of school caught up to me, and Initiation was brutal."
"I know, you already told me." Then Innocent returned his attention to Ruby.
"He's not really all that hard to use for me, since he's basically built for only my use. On the other hand, the scythe part of Crescent Rose looks like it needs a lot of skill to be practically applied in actual combat."

Ieria nodded her head at notions of weapons and other such things, although she did not quite understand what Ayers was saying when he started talking about something going on between her and Raqib. She shook her head and turned to Raqib as he said something about her radiant brilliance, which confused her, he didn't even know what she looked like underneath all her clothes. "Sure." She said, not quite certain how else to respond to his request.
"I am nature's weapon. You are unfit to carry on your species, and I shall ensure that you do not do so!" - Charles Darwin, XCOM SniperSeth shrugged. "They say that during the Initiation, everything went to shit for him and his partner."
Just then, a silver-haired girl wearing a simple but clearly expensive dress walked up to them. Must be a noble thought Seth. Olivia gave a little squeak. She seemed to recognize the girl.
When the girl spoke, her voice was soft, almost musical.
"Pardon me, but is this an art booth?"
The girl looked at the booth. "No, not really. I am simply admiring the art. It's good work."
She noticed Olivia. "You. You're the Rouge girl."
Olivia squeaked again. "Yesmilady..."
"What are you doing here..." she noticed Seth. Her lips curled into a haughty sneer.
"With a Faunus, no less."
"Hey! Who the hell are you anyway?!" spat Seth.
She regarded him coldly. "I'm Weiss Schnee."
Weiss Bloody Schnee. One of those fucking nobles again. He was sick and tired of them. He opened his mouth to retort, but Olivia gripped his arm. He looked at her and she shook her head.
....She was right. No need to pick a fight with someone like her.
Weiss turned to look at Jacob. "I was merely stating my observation. It was not an insult." she said coldly.
She gestured at a painting of a serene lakeside. "That one. I like it. How much for it?"
Barry saw Weiss talking to Olivia and noticed how Olivia seemed to be rather uncomfortable and Seth was spoiling for a fight. Sighing, he walked up to the booth before calling out, "Oh! Miss Schnee, what a marvelous surprise to see you on this fine day. May I have the pleasure of your company?" Using his courtly manners he attempted to lure the other noble away from his adoptive little sister and her date. If he was going to castrate someone he was going to do it because they messed up, not because someone goaded them into a rage.

/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\ Will you make a contract with me?"Barry." said Weiss, with a hint of a smile. She did not much like the other nobles of her age but Lord Saph-Blut was an exception. He was strange, yes, but he was much less obnoxious than the others.
"The answer is "maybe", Lord Saph-Blut. I'm not supposed to be here. I have escaped from old Albert, you know how pompous that butler is!"
She looked at Jacob. "I will be buying this. I do not have much money on me right now, but I trust this will suffice?"
She handed him a single orange Lien card.
...Was that a five thousand?
"I've made her a ward of House Saph-Blut, yes. And as for your butler, I'm rather sure that if he does eventually find you, if you're in my company it should keep you from receiving as stern a talking to ." Barry replied to the other noble. Then, leaning closer to Olivia and lowering his voice, he whispered, "Keeping Seth from picking a fight with another noble, particularly since she's younger than we are."
/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\ Will you make a contract with me?

Ruby smiled. "That's my uncle, all right. And...I heard that your weapon uses a lot of Dust...Isn't that a bit dangerous?"
She smiled again at the mention of Yang. "She's my older sister."
