PYRRHA: Martial law? 

JAUNE: Is Ironwood nuts?  JAUNE: Just leaving his people there, and for what? Because he’s scared? What a complete waste of oxygen. PYRRHA: It’s so…  WEISS: Awful.

JAUNE: I always got awful vibes from him! People like him shouldn’t even have a position of power if they’re just going to abandon everyone.  JAUNE: Just goes to show that you can’t trust the general, the Ace Ops, or anyone else affiliated with... JAUNE: I mean… JAUNE: Anyways, good news! We got the Relic!!!!!! JAUNE: Also, the seven baddies trying to attack us? We’re now down to six.  NORA: And what about Oscar?? JAUNE: He’s perfectly fine, actually.

NORA: Thank the gods’. JAUNE: Howeverrrrr, the Grimm have been getting worse. RUBY: whuh? REN: It was already bad when we came here, but now it’s like they’re everywhere.  NORA: It’s almost like Beacon. RUBY: so, what do you suggest? JAUNE: The people down there need us more than anything! JAUNE: If we could save the people of Mistral… we need to save the people down there as well.  RUBY: we need to also warn the people of remnant- JAUNE: You can STILL do that.

JAUNE: I know how to stop THAT. I can’t just abandon someone, leave them when I know how to fix everything.  JAUNE: We go down there and find their source, fix it, and then we bounce.  YANG: so you suggest we go down there, kill a bunch of grimm, shelter the people of mantle, AND solve their problems? JAUNE: RIGHT-O!!!

JAUNE: It’s gonna be a quickie! JAUNE: I owe the people of Mantle to give them some sort of protection.  RUBY: so you want us to split up? JAUNE: Well we’re at a divide, aren’t we? REN: Jaune is going to run off and do it anyways, so we might as well join him this time. JAUNE: Alrighty!  RUBY: yang? RUBY: :( 

YANG: like what Jaune said, down there is like actual HELL. YANG: you guys focus on helping remnant as a whole, while me, jaune, and ren help the people of mantle.

YANG: we’ll be in and out, rubes. RUBY: you promise? YANG: i promise.

YANG: let go of oscar, damnit!

>Be the Yang  You wish you knew what this was. This weird gooey beast. It’s claw’s coated in grimm sludge. Jaune would know, though. He somehow knows about all of the weird creepy shit in Remnant. The arcane, the weirdness, the demonic that comes from Salem’s little idea book. But he’s not doing anything. He’s watching, just like you. so, what do you do now?

YANG: DON'T LET IT GET AWAY! JAUNE: On it!

REN: Jaune, STAB IT! JAUNE: Uhhhhh… 

REN: DO SOMETHING!!! JAUNE: No… REN: NO??? JAUNE: Something is wrong with it… JAUNE: With him. YANG: him?

JAUNE: Yeah… him!

>JAUNE, charm the hound with your AWESOME PEOPLE SKILLS Your famous people skills. They are AWESOME. Every time you talk to someone and it goes well you get little points. These are completely intangible and you made them up.  You are slightly, ever so slightly, insane. It’s charming though! Your insanity is charming and that's why you have so many friends!!! JAUNE: Wanna talk about this? Uh, sir?

JAUNE: My name’s Jaune. Jaune Arc.  JAUNE: Short, sweet, rolls off the tongue, ladies and gentlemen love it. JAUNE: Now, I would love it if you left us alone, uh… what’s your name? THE HOUND: T… THE HOUND: Tod. JAUNE: What a nice name. JAUNE: Mind leaving Oscar alone? He’s only like, what, 15 years old?  JAUNE: I mean, you seem like a rational man.  JAUNE: I know that deep underneath that gooey skin of yours there’s a faunus gentleman with enough kindness in his heart to help us out! JAUNE: What do you say? TOD: No… JAUNE: Hm. Well, that sucks.  JAUNE: I don’t wanna fight you, though. JAUNE: Maybe we can come to a compromise? You don’t kidnap Oscar, and we leave you alone and we don't kill you. REN: What the fuck are you doing, Jaune? JAUNE: Or like, we can totally reschedule this. JAUNE: Oh, oh, oh, you know what? You can tell us about the sudden Grimm overflow, and I can give you… JAUNE: uhhh…  JAUNE: This?

JAUNE: Ohhhhhh, ahhhhhh~~! JAUNE: I know you want it! TOD: Yes… JAUNE: Now, tell us what’s up.  TOD: They aren’t just Grimm. JAUNE: Huh? TOD: Salem’s confused, very frustrated too. TOD: She's been complaining. She does that a lot. This time is an exception, though. TOD: How this wasn’t planned. How there’s something stronger than her. TOD: They aren’t her creation. JAUNE: But I’m guessing that you sorta are. TOD: Yes.  JAUNE: Hm… JAUNE: Well, I’m okay with that answer. JAUNE: You see this, boy? JAUNE: FETCH!!!!!!

JAUNE: Teehee~

JAUNE: Every time I feel like we come into a corner, something wonderful happens that proves to me otherwise. JAUNE: Once again, she blesses me with knowledge thank Sum-

JAUNE: GET OFF.

JAUNE: SON OF A BISCUIT!

JAUNE: BETRAYAL!!! JAUNE: TRICKERY!!!!! JAUNE: FALSEHOOD!!!!!!!!! JAUNE: YOU TRICKY LITTLE POO HEAD. JAUNE: IS YOUR NAME EVEN TOD?????? TOD: It is.

TOD: I am sorry, Jaune. JAUNE: Gah! JAUNE: Maybe it’s gonna be harder to talk to him than I thought. REN: Oh my gods’, Jaune… REN: You were going to let it get away, weren’t you? You REALLY thought a talking Grimm could be reasoned with? Honestly, how did you think you could outsmart it? REN: We don’t need the people of Mantle to know that there's a Grimm out there that is twice the size of them! REN: It needs to be defeated if you actually want to help them. REN: Are you even a leader if you can’t do one small act of heroism? Are you a competent one? REN: Are you listening to me? REN: Jaune??? REN: JAUNE????

It’s a month before your anniversary. And 2 years since you played god and brought Pyrrha back from the dead. You’re getting that feeling of deja vu again, if you’re being honest. That feeling that maybe, just maybe, human life should be left alone, and not tampered with. Especially when black magic is involved.
