Jaune Arc was not having a fun time.

So finding out that Huntsmen functioned like a real life RPG?

Awesome.

Finding out you can get quests to upgrade your semblance?

Also awesome.

Having his first upgrade quest be to sing in drag without being discovered and also have the performance be good?

Less awesome.

Luckily his entire team was strangely good at crossdressing and were willing to help him. (Apparently Ren and Nora would dress up as the opposite gender when it could get them a discount living as traveling orphans, and Pyrrha crossdressed to make it harder for the paparazzi to find her.)

Now he just has to hope he sings better as a girl than a guy....he's gonna blow it isn't he?

(He did in fact not blow it.)

So I guess your chapter of Jaune Si where he asks out Yang got deleted. I can only see it in a quote on(what is currently) part 6 of Jaun SI BS in a quote that doesn't take you to a post when you click on it. And it doesn't seem to appear in between part 5 and 6 despite part six being a follow up to that whole situation. Was it posted on a different thread or am I missing something?

No, I was just running on four hours of sleep when I began crossposting it over here so that's my bad.

So, having only four Academies for Huntsmen across an entire world is a bit ridiculous. It's a world.

I mean, there are five major military academies in the United States alone.

So a good fix for this is that Beacon, Haven, Atlas, and Shade are just the big four: The most prestigious with the best staff and best training available. They're the Oxford, Johns Hopkins, West Point, ETH Zurich, etc of the Huntsman world. Which means there are plenty of smaller Huntsman academies and schools around.

This does make Jaune's determination to get into Beacon a bit about ego, but it does tie into his character. Besides, his parents and maybe even his grandparents may have attended it, making it personal for him.

That said! Coming up with other Hunter Academies is a useful bit of world building. It does take a lot of brainpower and creativity to come up with them, no doubt, but it can be rewarding. Or you can just transplant other schools from fiction to fill things out. All depends on what you want to do.

For instance: At least in my fan-canon, Albion/Vytal was once the Britain of Remnant. It had a mighty colonial empire that fell apart during and after the Great War, after which it joined with Vale and became another part of that great Kingdom. So it probably had at least one Hunter Academy during this time. What was it like?

It could even be Hogwarts as a Hunter School. In which case: No wonder the Vytal Empire fell.

Could be a population issue. It's not feasible to have more since there aren't that many who want to be a Hunter. And sparing the resources isn't a possible as they just don't have the capacity for such a resource intensive process. Especially with how limited their population seems.

 

[Savinkov]

There is primary combat schools in rwby that are essentially highschool while the academy is college.

Well, the Big 4 are also named for 'safe spaces'. Such as a Beacon (of Hope), Haven (for Life), Atlas (to guide), and Shade (to shield/ protect). Plus, you have other 'direction' names for the 'high school' equivalent schools such as Signal and Sanctum.

So naming the other 'not as prestigious' academies would be rather difficult, though not impossible.

For Beacon, you could have Vale Academic and Hunting (Vale A&H). Mimicking an idea of the University of Massachusetts as the, relatively, easier to get into college compared to Harvard. (Boston College can also work, for those Golden Eagle fans)

Haven has Mistral State Academy (Mistral State), Atlas could use Solitas Technical School of Hunting (Sol Tech), Shade could have a spin off around Vacuo.

The Big 4 academies are the Big 4 for a reason, but if you still get through the other not-as-big academies, you can still be a licensed hunter.

Ruby sighed and looked at the box she was holding.Roughly the size of a box of Cracker Jacks it had a happy pattern of blue splotches decorated the box with the word dinner written in big friendly letters upon it. A sigh escaped her lips as a rare frown crossed her face.

Yang looked over at her and tossed a can opener too her. Ruby grumpily opened the box to see what she had managed to get. "Joy, tuna fish in juices."

Blake looked at her own. "I have...mystery meat patty, want to trade?"

Ruby tossed the small can to her and caught the one thrown at her. She looked up at Weiss. "All of the marvels of modern technology and the field rations have not changed since the Great War?"

Weiss sighed as she fixed a cup of coffee. "Be thankful we have this... some of the teams don't even get this luxury."

Jaune nodded and reached into the wooden crate for his box.

Jaune scowled hard at his meal of reprocessed meat and what looked like hardtack. Pyrrha was trying to smile supportively.

"It could be worse?" She suggested.

"Yeah, Renny and I know that for sure," Nora said, examining her own pack rations with a frown, "I think this might be human! What do you think, Renny?"

"I'll try not to think about it," Ren said.

Jaune growled. He got up and handed the box off to Pyrrha. He then stalked off into the woods, to the surprise of both teams.

"Jaune? Where are you going?!" Ruby cried in concern.

"Just sit tight! I'll be right back!" He shouted. "Nora? Ren?"

"With ya, boss!" Nora cried, getting up to follow him. Ren trailed behind. They vanished into the woods, leaving RWBY and Pyrrha to stare and mutter amongst themselves.

"Has he lost his mind?" Weiss demanded. "I mean, what little he had anyway-"

"The food's not THAT bad," Yang said flatly.

About half an hour later, Jaune, Nora, and Ren returned. Jaune carried some fish and rabbits he'd caught, while Ren and Nora both had bags of various greens and fruits.

"Pot and pan, please," Jaune asked Pyrrha, who dutifully retrieved them.

Another half hour followed as Jaune cleaned, dressed, and cooked the meat and greens. He added bits from the rations and spices from his own backpack. He then presented them with a hot, amazing smelling meal.

"Rabbit stew with field onions, potatoes and radishes, fried fish with breading made from the crackers and butter, and a mixed field green salad," Jaune presented with a smile, "Dig in!"

Weiss and Yang looked dubious. Blake sniffed it. Ruby, Pyrrha, Nora and Ren dug in first. Seeing them try it, the rest went ahead...

Weiss moaned in bliss.

"It's... Amazing!" She hungrily dug into the food. "How...?"

"My great-grandpa owns a restaurant and he taught my sisters and I how to cook," Jaune said. He nodded to Nora and Ren. "Nora and Ren helped me find the needed stuff."

"We foraged a lot in the past," Nora moaned, "But it never tasted sooo goood!"

"Indeed," Ren said, letting a rare smile grace his face.

"I think my tastebuds were shot and sent to heaven," Yang sighed.

Blake silently finished her bowl and held it out for seconds, which Jaune happily supplied.

"It's just... Wonderful, Jaune," Pyrrha beamed, "Thank you."

"No problem," Jaune grinned, "A happy team is a successful team, right?"

"So much!" Ruby moaned. "I think I'm having a foodgasm like in one of Blake's animes!"

"RUBY!" Yang hissed. Ruby scowled.

"Don't deny it!"

Yang blushed.

"Well... Um..." She winked at Jaune. "I guess I... I really can't. Thanks, VB."

"Again, no problem," Jaune said with a smile and wave. "Anyway, uh... Call of nature. I'll scream if there's Grimm."

"Don't worry, we'll be listening," Pyrrha said with a beam. Jaune waved and walked off. He did his business... And then heard a commotion. He ran back as quickly as he could, weapons drawn.

He came to a camp in disarray, where everyone had their weapons drawn and were glaring death at one another. Nora and Ren were on one side, just eating food as the five other women in the camp seemed like they'd just been in a scrap.

"Holy... What happened?!" Jaune cried, and everyone looked over at him. "Did a Grimm attack?!"

"Uh... Yessss," Pyrrha managed, "A few! No problem to deal with."

"Yes, they were ugly, jealous, devious, spiteful little harpies," Weiss hissed.

"You'd know best, Schnee," Blake growled.

"And backstabbing felines without any regard for friendship, too," Yang seethed.

"Oh, I don't think they'll be a problem," Ruby grined ferally, "Not after I deal with them."

"I wouldn't count on that," Pyrrha grinned back, though her smile was extremely terrifying.

Jaune, confused, looked over at Ren and Nora. Nora shrugged.

"Good luck, Fearless Leader!"

"You're going to need it," Ren deadpanned. "Can I have more stew?"

"Er... Sure?" Jaune muttered.

Jaune was meeting Ozpin in his office again, relating what he knew of the future.

Jaune: "... And Lionheart's been a traitor for a while. Not sure when he broke or if he was always a scumbag. He says he was just a coward but I was kind of emotional at the time."

Ozpin: grave look "Understandable. I would ask you to try and get your godfather to assist us in this matter. I don't want to move against Lionheart too soon and tip our hand: If he could give us intel on Salem's plans, we might be better able to deal with them."

Jaune: "My godfather...?"

His memories came to him. He blinked rapidly.

Ozpin: "Yes. King Arjun Sarkara of Pandu?"

Jaune: "Ah, right. Sorry, I think the visions are messing with my mind..."

Jaune's Brain: I only came up with like half of that worldbuilding! Why isn't my co-writer here instead of me?! Oh well... Good to know, I guess. Maybe I was getting a clearer transmission from Remnant than Monty. Not that I want to be presumptuous in thinking I was the better writer, cause I'm NOT.

Jaune: "Still... He's going to want Lionheart dead since he probably had a hand in the coup that made him an exile and orphan in the first place. Exile-orphan."

Ozpin: "True, but he can be patient and cunning. He can keep in control of himself. Or his wife will rein him in."

Jaune: "Speaking of... My parents and my godparents were a very powerful team, right?"

Ozpin: "Indeed. Expert heavy combatants and disaster relief specialists. I was very proud of them all."

Jaune: "So... Why didn't you make them your strike team instead of STRQ? Nothing against Ruby and Yang's parents and uncles... Well okay, a LOT against Raven."

Ozpin: "For a few reasons. Summer's Silver Eyes made her a natural counter to Grimm and Salem's agents. The others all had skills very useful as a covert strike team. Whereas your parents and godparents... Were not covert. At all."

Jaune: "But... My mom can shapeshift and Uncle Arjun is like a ninja archer-"

Ozpin: dryly "Yes, and your father is a wrecking ball in human form and your godmother fires death rays. Your mother can shatter buildings at full strength and your godfather is, shall we say, VERY liberal with Aura-powered explosive arrows. Approximately 80 percent of their missions in urban areas ended in property damage so extensive the insurance companies had strokes. And of course, they also overthrew a dictatorship-Granted, wIth the support of a multi-national alliance, but overthrowing a government is not something anyone can call inconspicuous. Your family are many things, Jaune Arc, but covert and subtle are not among them. It's not much of a victory if in defending Remnant, you reduce most of it to rubble."

Jaune: "I... Guess I can't argue with that."

Ozpin: "Indeed. As for the Ever After, do you recall what fruit you ate?"

Jaune: "Ummm... I think it was a mango? But again, it's all really fuzzy."

Ozpin: "At least it wasn't a peach then."

Jaune: "... Was... Was that a dad joke?"

Ozpin: "I think I'm entitled to make them."

Jaune: "Fair enough. Joke away."

Jaune was in what Yang assured him was very fashionable: White shirt, khaki pants, black jacket with his hair cut to her specifications. He supposed simplicity was best.

He knocked at the RWBY dorm room door and waited.

Jaune's Brain: Shit... Should I have gotten flowers? Or chocolate? NO! No, this is just a friendly date. Ease up. Wait, the dating rules are different between worlds! What if she thinks I want to marry her?! I mean... That would make sense in a civilization fighting Grimm that ISN'T totally fucked up by gender politics and what not. Crap, crap, why didn't Jaune pay attention to any fucking thing but nerd shit and HUNTING HISTORY?! Yes it's cool that his great-grandparents took out an entire army but THAT DOESN'T HELP WITH DATING!

Yang emerged in a nice white dress with a stylish yellow jacket. She smiled at him.

Yang: "Hey."

Jaune: "... H-Hey."

Offers her his arm

Yang: smiles and takes it

Jaune: "Cool." He heads off, leading her to the Bullheads

Yang's Brain: Wow... He's so calm and confident... Not what I expected, to be honest. I kind of like it... Though I like when he's a spazz, too. Still, why isn't he trying to look down my dress? I wore it low cut for a reason, damnit!

Jaune's Brain: OH MY GOD HOTNESS I WANT TO BANG YOU-URK! No... Calm down... CALM... Boobs are incredible but we're not going to stare at them...!

They go to a local street carnival. They play games, laugh, eat, and have fun. Yang won him a prize from the strongman game (hitting it with the hammer so hard the bell flew off) and Jaune won her a prize back at a shooting gallery (He did have experience with guns as a farmboy, after all).

They ended the evening in a Ferris Wheel and just relaxed and watched the city lights.

Yang: "... I had a really great time tonight."

Jaune: "Yeah, me too."

Jaune's Brain: I've been so used to school, training, trying not to panic... It was nice to just relax for a while.

Yang: "You don't relax very easily, do you?"

Jaune: "I, well... I always feel like I'm behind. Like I need to work harder than everyone else, I guess. I don't want to let anyone down."

Yang: sad smile "I believe you... I dunno, I-I'm not used to the men in my life being reliable."

Jaune: "Oh... Ex-Boyfriend?"

Yang: "Nah... My dad and uncle. I... I mean, I've kissed a boy or two but I couldn't go any further. Not with Ruby to take care of."

Jaune: "Oh..."

Yang: "So, um... Thanks. Thanks for that. Being her friend."

Jaune: smiles "It's not an issue. She's like my little sister and I really care about her."

Yang: smiles back "Yeah..."

Silence.

Jaune's Brain: Okay... It's a nice moment... But I can't really read her. What's going on here?

Yang: "How about you?"

Jaune: "Hm?"

Yang: smiles "Since we're on the subject... You have any girlfriends?"

Jaune: "I mean... One. She was my neighbor, childhood friend. We were close, but... We decided we were better off as friends."

Yang: "Oh? Why?"

Jaune: "I wanted to be a Huntsman. She wanted to marry a rich doctor." shrugs "And well... Our parents were trying to push us together. My Nana finally had to step in and tell my mom off for trying to matchmake so hard."

Yang: "Big family?"

Jaune: "Huge. I've got seven sisters."

Yang: "Seriously?!"

Jaune shows her pictures on his Scroll. She laughs at many of the funnier ones.

Yang: "Geez... And yet I had to dress you for our date?"

Jaune: "Well, I wanted to match." smiles

Yang: "Yeah... Heh... Still..."

She looks wistful.

Yang: "It... Must be nice. Having a big family that looks out for you."

Jaune: "... Most of the time. There were bad times and good times. Fights and arguments and all that. But... I do love them. Even if we don't get along sometimes."

Yang: nods "Mm..."

Silence falls again. The ride ends and they get out. They head back towards the Bullheads. Jaune reaches out for her hand... And Yang takes his.

Jaune's Brain: Okay... Okay... Calm down... Just because she's quiet doesn't mean she's mad... But it might also mean she's into me which... Is also bad? It could be... Argh, I don't want Pyrrha to go kill herself just because she feels like she has no chance! I mean I don't want her to die period! Would she still make the same decision if I didn't know how she felt?! Does she still like me even though I have isekai knowledge?! Would she be okay with sharing?! I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! WHAT DO I DO?!"

Yang: "Hey, Jaune? You okay?"

Jaune: "Huh? Oh, uh... Just... Thinking. A lot."

Yang: chuckles "Maybe you should cut down on that a little. I mean, I'm starting to think that you don't like looking at me~." winks

Jaune: "No, no, I really like that... And the date... And the holding hands and uh... I liked it all. A lot."

Jaune's Brain: Smooooth...

Yang: "Me too. I dunno... I-I mean, I was the most popular girl in school back in Signal and I had all these guys after me. But the second I started putting Ruby ahead of them, they fell away. I was kind of like the single mom, ya know?"

Jaune: "Well, they were idiots. Because you'd be a great mom, Yang."

Yang: "I'll never be as good as Summer-"

Jaune: "So? You'd still be great. I mean that."

Yang blushes brightly.

Yang: "S-So... You think I'd be a great mom?"

Jaune's Brain: Shit, too sincere, too sincere...!

Jaune: "Yeah."

Yang: giggles "Geez... For someone who got in via fraud, you're way too blunt, ya know?"

Jaune: "Well... I mean... Forgery is very different from lying. It's a different kind of lying, uh... I mean..."

Yang: smiles, leans over to kiss his cheek "I get it."

Jaune: "Oh... Yeah." nods

Yang: "Just uh... Oh crap. I mean... Um... I don't have to marry you now, do I?" She looks worried

Jaune: "Eh?!"

Yang: "Blake and Weiss looked up your family tree... Royals tend to be picky about who they romance, right?"

Jaune: "Arcs haven't been royals for centuries. We don't-We don't need to get married... I mean if you wanted to, it's a bit fast! It-It's just been one date! Not that-I mean, if we go on more dates and we connect and-and stuff then absolutely but uh-I mean-!"

Yang: giggles "Okay... I thought I was nervous. You're like this stoic snarky badass in a fight and now you're stuttering like a preteen! It's hilarious!"

Jaune's Brain: Teasing me? Oh, I will not let that stand. Pride and hormones, unite!

Jaune leans in and kisses her lips. She's shocked, but she returns it... They make out for a bit... Before pulling apart, gasping for breath.

Jaune: "I... Haa... Um..."

Yang: "Oh... Oh... Wow... Uh..."

Jaune's Brain: ... SAY SOMETHING!

Jaune: "... Wanna go on another date?"

Yang: "... Yes."

Jaune: "Cool. Me too." He smiles "Night."

She nods and goes into the dormroom... He turns and walks into the JNPR dorm.

Pyrrha is up, and smiles nervously.

Pyrrha: "So... Um... How did it go?"

Nora's head pops up from under her covers.

Nora: "Did you suck face?"

Jaune: "Nora, you're grounded."

Nora: grins "That's not a no~!"

Jaune: "We're going on another date."

Pyrrha winces. Nora looks at her in concern.

Jaune: "B-But we're not getting married or anything. Just friends having fun."

Pyrrha: "R-Right... Right..."

Jaune's Brain: If she just SAID SOMETHING... ANYTHING... Goddamnit, how is she this fucking meek?! She could break me in half without trying! Her parents must be fucking horrible, there's no other explanation...

Jaune: "... Pyrrha? We're starting some special training tomorrow."

Pyrrha: "Oh? What kind?"

Jaune: "You'll see. But I expect you to do your best, understand?"

Pyrrha: "Absolutely!"

Jaune: "Good. I'm counting on you."

Pyrrha: "You always can, Jaune."

Jaune's Brain: Fuuuuuuck... I'm going to get her to be honest about her emotions if it fucking kills me!

Yang Xaio-long was tired.

Tired of being seen as the dumb blonde.
The brute.
The walking pipebomb.

But right now Yang was mostly tired of this jackass roundhouse kicking her in the ribs.

Fucking mercury.

"What's wrong Blondie? Performance issues?"

She'd messed up earlier and popped her semblance earlier and somehow missed. So now she was stuck without that because she'd run out of aura before she would get a good charge.

Fuck can he please aim for somewhere other than the ribs?!

Yangs out of options and she knows it. She can't out maneuver him, she's not Ruby.

She's not going to pull some trick or technique out of nowhere, she's not Weiss with dust and tutors to fill up a bag of tricks.

She's not gonna be able to slip away in a seconds distraction like her flighty partner.

"Come on Blondie at least make this interesting!"

She's got nothing in the tank to burn, but she's tired of burning anyway.

She's the sun dragon damn it if she can't burn

"I'm gonna shine!"

And suddenly mercury was blasted back by a cheery yellow bullet of energy.

Yang Xaio-long had somehow managed to reach deep enough introspection for a semblance evolution through a mix of annoyance, a concussion, and anime style in-battle reflection.

And she just so happened to get the best possible evolution for her current situation.

As mercury began getting beat by what Nora would later claim to be "doom lemons!" Weiss was being very annoyed.

"What the HELL does photosynthesis have to do with light attacks?"

And for the first time Ruby proved she was Yangs biological sister.

"She's a SUN flower Weiss!"

Managing to barely hear that over Mercury's screams for mercy Yang came to one conclusion today was a good day to be Yang Xaio-long.

 

[Fusion Blaster]

Here comes a new challanger..

We find SI Jaune at a newstand with Ren avoiding the girls in the town neither one quite sure what to do

Though our iskai'd hero notices Ren staring at a magazine.

Jaune: What's got your attention?

Ren: Jaune. You said you had an ex-girlfriend back home. What was her name again?

Jaune: Katy Sith.

Ren: Is this her?

Jaune: holy....

Ren: that would be a yes. So did you get to see that in person?

Jaune: if you were anyone else I'd punch you.

Ren; That's tough but fair. So?

Jaune: I plead the fifth.

Ren eyes narrow. Anyway you know Katy kinda llooks like what woud haappne if you had Yang and Blake do the fusion dance.

Jaune: "But now that you mention it-Hey wait! The Fusion Dance? How do you know that?!"

Ren: Oh come on it's obvi... ous. shit.

Jaune: "I swear to God if you're some shitfuck Isekai who takes people's souls and tries to build harems I'll-I'll!"

Ren : Whoa.. how do I know your some ... yaoi fangirl out to get my rear... or .... "

Jaune: "I'm not! I just... I have memories of a guy from another world... Earth, right? Early 21st century?"

Ren: okay... same.

Jaune: "Soooo... Uh... Japanese businessman?"

Ren: GOD No... Texan.

Jaune: Colorodo. Not a stoner just a normal guy.

Ren: this is so weird.

Jaune: agreed.


and thus the iskai pileup begins

Yang: smiles "Since we're on the subject... You have any girlfriends?"

Jaune: "I mean... One. She was my neighbor, childhood friend. We were close, but... We decided we were better off as friends."

Yang: "Oh? Why?"

Jaune: "I wanted to be a Huntsman. She wanted to marry a rich doctor." shrugs "And well... Our parents were trying to push us together. My Nana finally had to step in and tell my mom off for trying to matchmake so hard."

Yang: "Big family?"

Jaune: "Huge. I've got seven sisters."

Yang: "Seriously?!"

Jaune shows her pictures on his Scroll. She laughs at many of the funnier ones.

Yang: "Geez... And yet I had to dress you for our date?"

Jaune: "Well, I wanted to match." smiles

Yang: "Yeah... Heh... Still..."

She looks wistful.

Yang: "It... Must be nice. Having a big family that looks out for you."

Jaune: "... Most of the time. There were bad times and good times. Fights and arguments and all that. But... I do love them. Even if we don't get along sometimes."

Yang: nods "Mm..."

Silence falls again. The ride ends and they get out. They head back towards the Bullheads. Jaune reaches out for her hand... And Yang takes his.

Jaune's Brain: Okay... Okay... Calm down... Just because she's quiet doesn't mean she's mad... But it might also mean she's into me which... Is also bad? It could be... Argh, I don't want Pyrrha to go kill herself just because she feels like she has no chance! I mean I don't want her to die period! Would she still make the same decision if I didn't know how she felt?! Does she still like me even though I have isekai knowledge?! Would she be okay with sharing?! I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! WHAT DO I DO?!"

Yang: "Hey, Jaune? You okay?"

Jaune: "Huh? Oh, uh... Just... Thinking. A lot."

Yang: chuckles "Maybe you should cut down on that a little. I mean, I'm starting to think that you don't like looking at me~." winks

Jaune: "No, no, I really like that... And the date... And the holding hands and uh... I liked it all. A lot."

Jaune's Brain: Smooooth...

Yang: "Me too. I dunno... I-I mean, I was the most popular girl in school back in Signal and I had all these guys after me. But the second I started putting Ruby ahead of them, they fell away. I was kind of like the single mom, ya know?"

Jaune: "Well, they were idiots. Because you'd be a great mom, Yang."

Yang: "I'll never be as good as Summer-"

Jaune: "So? You'd still be great. I mean that."

Yang blushes brightly.

Yang: "S-So... You think I'd be a great mom?"

Jaune's Brain: Shit, too sincere, too sincere...!

Jaune: "Yeah."

Yang: giggles "Geez... For someone who got in via fraud, you're way too blunt, ya know?"

Jaune: "Well... I mean... Forgery is very different from lying. It's a different kind of lying, uh... I mean..."

Yang: smiles, leans over to kiss his cheek "I get it."

Jaune: "Oh... Yeah." nods

Yang: "Just uh... Oh crap. I mean... Um... I don't have to marry you now, do I?" She looks worried

Jaune: "Eh?!"

Yang: "Blake and Weiss looked up your family tree... Royals tend to be picky about who they romance, right?"

Jaune: "Arcs haven't been royals for centuries. We don't-We don't need to get married... I mean if you wanted to, it's a bit fast! It-It's just been one date! Not that-I mean, if we go on more dates and we connect and-and stuff then absolutely but uh-I mean-!"

Yang: giggles "Okay... I thought I was nervous. You're like this stoic snarky badass in a fight and now you're stuttering like a preteen! It's hilarious!"

Jaune's Brain: Teasing me? Oh, I will not let that stand. Pride and hormones, unite!

Jaune leans in and kisses her lips. She's shocked, but she returns it... They make out for a bit... Before pulling apart, gasping for breath.

Jaune: "I... Haa... Um..."

Yang: "Oh... Oh... Wow... Uh..."

Jaune's Brain: ... SAY SOMETHING!

Jaune: "... Wanna go on another date?"

Yang: "... Yes."

Jaune: "Cool. Me too." He smiles "Night."

She nods and goes into the dormroom... He turns and walks into the JNPR dorm.

Pyrrha is up, and smiles nervously.

Pyrrha: "So... Um... How did it go?"

Nora's head pops up from under her covers.

Nora: "Did you suck face?"

Jaune: "Nora, you're grounded."

Nora: grins "That's not a no~!"

Jaune: "We're going on another date."

Pyrrha winces. Nora looks at her in concern.

Jaune: "B-But we're not getting married or anything. Just friends having fun."

Pyrrha: "R-Right... Right..."

Jaune's Brain: If she just SAID SOMETHING... ANYTHING... Goddamnit, how is she this fucking meek?! She could break me in half without trying! Her parents must be fucking horrible, there's no other explanation...

Jaune: "... Pyrrha? We're starting some special training tomorrow."

Pyrrha: "Oh? What kind?"

Jaune: "You'll see. But I expect you to do your best, understand?"

Pyrrha: "Absolutely!"

Jaune: "Good. I'm counting on you."

Pyrrha: "You always can, Jaune."

Jaune's Brain: Fuuuuuuck... I'm going to get her to be honest about her emotions if it fucking kills me!

Nora tries to sneak into the kitchen in the common room after hours. She opens the fridge... Reaches for the frozen pancakes...

SNAP!

Nora: "OW!" She waves her hand, where a mousetrap is stuck on "Owowowow!"

Jaune: Glares at her "I told you, Nora. You're grounded... Also how does that even hurt? You have Aura."

Nora: "It was funnier?"

Jaune: "... I guess I can't argue with that."

Nora: "PLEASE JAUNE-JAUNE! GIVE ME PANCAKES!" Falls to her knees in front of him and sobs "I'LL BECOME YOUR SEX PET!"

Jaune: "I-I don't need one of those and I'm not gonna NTR Ren!"

Nora: "HE COULD WATCH!"

Jaune: "I... He's into that?!"

Nora: "He might be!"

Jaune: "WELL I'M NOT ASKING HIM!"

Cardin is grumbling to himself... When Jaune walks up to him.

Jaune: "Yo, Cardin."

Cardin: "What do you want, Arc?"

Jaune: "I have beer and guns. Wanna go do something stupid?"

Cardin: "... Sure thing!"

Later, at a campfire, Team CRDL, Ren, Jaune and Sun are chilling out with beer.

Sky: "I just... I think she's kind of neat, ya know?"

Jaune: "Then ask her out, dumbass."

Sky: "But she's with Team NDGO!"

Jaune: "Wait, that's who you're talking about? Fuck, no, do not stick in evil and crazy, bro."

Dove: "I have been telling him the same thing."

Russell: "Totally. I don't even know why Adel is hitting on me. She's supposed to be a lesbian!"

Sky: "Statistically speaking, she's more likely to be bi than lesbian given how few true blue lesbians there are. Or true blue gay dudes there are. It's like a spectrum or something."

Russell: "Yeah and you're a rainbow gaywad!"

Sky: "I AM NOT!"

Cardin: "So... Uh... Jauney... I wanna ask your help."

Jaune: "Me? With what?"

Cardin: "Well you went on a date with Xiao-Long... Can you help me with the girls?"

Sun: "Why aren't you asking me? I went on a date with Blake!"

Jaune: "That was more like you both being temporarily homeless."

Russell: "Plus, you want that chick? Really? Her?"

Sky: "Her booty is amazing though!"

Russell: "It's more that she's part of Arc's harem."

Jaune: "I don't have a harem! Fuck's sake, just because Great-Grandpa had three wives does not mean I have one! My dad only has my mom!"

Sun: "She-She totally isn't into Jaune anyway! She wore that collar for me!"

Dove: sips beer "I take back what I said, Sky. You're not a simp next to him."

Sun: "I'M NOT A SIMP!"

Cardin: "Anyway, come on Jaune! Help me with the girl!"

Jaune: "Who is it?"

Cardin: "Um..."

Ren: "If it's Nora, I will have to murder you."

Cardin: "NO IT'S NOT NORA!"

Jaune: "Though good on you, Ren! You made a move?"

Ren: "... Kind of?"

Russell: "OI! Come on, Pinkeye! Just tell her you wanna be together!"

Ren: "I don't want to ruin thirteen years of friendship."

Sky: "She's your childhood friend too?! Why do you guys get all the luck?!"

Jaune: "Who is it, Cardin?"

Cardin: "... Um... Well, uh, she's in the year ahead of us... Has a really neat Semblance and um..."

Jaune: "... You're shitting me. Velvet?! You pulled on her ears, dude!"

Cardin: "Well I got nervous and my family's got some history with the Faunus and-and I don't know what the fuck to do!"

Dove: "Ask her out."

Russell: "Ya damn pussy!"

Cardin: "Says the guy running from Adel!"

Russell: "She's terrifying! I'm not gonna be her dress up doll! Even if she hot as fuck and bisexual!"

Jaune: sighs "Cardin? Just go ask her out. Hand her flowers. Say you just wanted to get her attention but you went overboard. Maybe she'll give you a chance."

Cardin: "That worked for you with your harem?"

Jaune: "I DON'T HAVE A HAREM. I just asked Yang out on a date after flirting with her! It's no big deal! And I don't know why Blake is wearing a collar!"

Sun: "She's doing it for me! ME!"

Russell: "I really fucking doubt it, Abs-Boy."

Sun: "LEAST I HAVE ABS!"

Ren: sips his beer "... Why did we want to hang out with guys again?"

Jaune: "Because Ruby got into my childhood photos my sisters sent and I'm not crossdressing again... Unless it's to save the world or something."

Ren: "Or if your harem is into that."

Jaune: "Et tu, Ren?"

Ruby: "That...that doesn't sound so bad..."
Isabel: "Wearing a black robe and a skull mask."

Crackfic idea: Yang doesn't realize it, but like Jaune's Nana Arturia, removing her ahoge turns her into Yang Alter, a foul-mouthed leather-clad pyromaniac.

Some prompts on Monday!

*For the Sanctuary-verse:

-Write more for Aqua, Kazuma, Darkness and Megumin as they search Vale for any sign of Jaune.

-Write more about Jaune trying to keep the survivors together before Yang woke up.

-Write about another group of survivors. Take from the canon teams or use some OCs!

-Write Ghira and Kali's desperate efforts to keep the major powers from invading Menagerie. Not helped by the fact Queen Arturia is back in power and she's taking this a bit personally.

*For Cowboys of Remnant:

-The Beacon Dance is coming up and Jaune's gonna have to make a decision...

-Miguel tries to court various ladies at Beacon. Jaune and co. try to help him.

-Jaune rescues Blake when she gets in over her head against the White Fang. Leading to a very heated argument between them.

-Pyrrha and Jaune go to a rodeo, as she's still gotta make some public appearances. Jaune enters and Pyrrha encourages him throughout!

-Neo likes Jaune's singing and guitar. The fact he buys her ice cream is also a plus. Cue annoyance from all the other ladies in Jaune's life.

*For "Doctor Knowall":

-Yang Xiao-Long tries to get closer to the hunky doctor, who ain't budging. After all... He married Yang in his past but this isn't his Yang. And she never will be.

-Knowall's first class.

*And in general:

-Flynt Coal is a popular alternative pairing for Weiss given he's from Atlas and apparently his family has its own Dust business. Let's explore this!

-Coco Adel, Matchmaker supreme. What kinds of romantic mayhem can she bring about?

-Isabel Arc decides that the best way to get her son to come home and become a doctor is to become a professor at Beacon. She'll push him so hard, as hard as she was trained, he'll decide to quit and do what she wants! And Nick will help too. Hilarity ensues.

-If you use the fan-canon of May being Arjun and Saia's daughter (and thus a princess), she might not be lost, but merely hidden. She went to Shade Academy under an assumed name to avoid too much media attention and to carve her own path. However, due to her high position, she has met both Blake Belladonna and Weiss Schnee at high society and diplomatic functions. And of course, she's VERY familiar with Jaune Arc. What might happen?

-In a timeline where Jaune was more taken with Yang than with Weiss, Pyrrha resolves to get his attention by trying to become a bad girl.

Radian is arguably the best dairy producer in the Kingdom of Vale, and living on a farm, Jaune probably knows how to make the tastiest, freshest homemade ice cream Neo has ever tasted.

Good luck with that Jaune absolutely thrives under that shit. It only took him what a year to catch up to everyone else?

Wait till he starts weilding a great sword shotgun/railgun hybrid.

That's when the fun begins and he gets pointers from various ladies on how to use his momentum. (Also note that seeing the sheer pressure he's under ruby may be the first to teach him that trick!)
