TIME TO SHIP IT.
But first, we need to actually FIND Blake.

And here's the Lobby. Hope you like me bumbling around like an idiot.

Unknown Hallway...

The Librarby...

That place we get food...

Another Hallway...

Oh come on, it looped already?
*FOUR FLOORS OF NON-INTERACTABLE DOORS LATER*

Hey look, the rooftop.
...You better not tell me what I think you are.

WHY AM I FINDING EVERYTHING BUT BLAKE (I'M THE MANAGER I CAN GO INTO THEIR ROOM)
*after exploring everything*
...Well, it's not called an alpha for nothing.
*Only interactable person is Ruby*

Well, you're the only player character I CAN hang out with, so... (Spoilers: There's more.)
Once there's an update, I will play it or import my save data so I can hopefully do other characters.
*Selects Yes*
Ruby: Alright! Let's go! I want to see what there is to do around here! Let's walk and talk!

Well, this kind of change was unexpected.

So now to collect information on Ruby. For the record, I still haven't watched RWBY yet.
AU!Pit: Small town in southern Patch.
Ruby: Oh really? I'm from Signal, I was studying at Signal Academy.

Once again, no true RWBY knowledge.
AU!Pit: Why were you fighting Torchwick?
Ruby: Well, I was happily browsing through the manga they had at the store, minding my own buisness, when all of a sudden...
PYROTECHNIC DISPLAYS!
Ruby: A man tells me he is going to rob me! So, I showed them what happens when you mess with Ruby Rose!
Ruby: I chased Torchwick to the roof, and, well... You know what happens next.
The beginning of the plot.

...That third option though. F+ for effort.
AU!Pit: My town was attacked, and I saved it.
If we have to be a Mary Sue, play the part.
Ruby: WOW! Are you serious?! What happened? Tell me more!
You are very excitable.
GAME: You explain the situation to Ruby.
Ruby: You actually saved an entire town from a Grimm attack? It's no wonder Ozpin trusts you so much!
I ONLY FOUGHT LIKE 12 THINGS I LOST PROBABLY A TOTAL OF 250 HP COMBINED THERE
Ruby: I mean, I HAD to wonder why Ozpin created an entirely new position just for you. But, I think I get it now.
GAME: You and Ruby talk for a long time, exchanging questions back and forth.
HEY I WANTED MORE INFORMATION

Really? I thought the town caught on fire.
Ruby: Thank you for today, I'm lucky to have met you.
GAME: Ruby appreciates you and your friendship with her.
GAME: After exchanging questions, you feel like you understand her more.
Well, I am a newcomer to the series...
GAME: Friendship Rank: 2
*B-Support Achieved! Maybe. I don't know how high they go.*
Ruby: Let's head back before we get into trouble.

So now I have to do all of the Ruby's Route scenarios until an event happens?
GAME: You sit through the lecture, it seems to last forever...

Wait why is Ruby not here

OPTIONS? Wait, If Yang is here...
WE CAN STILL SAVE THE BLAKE SHIP! RIGHT?
*YOU WISH YOU HAD OPTIONS, BUCKO*
Why must you hurt me in this way? ;_;
Yang: What's up? Got nothing to do?
Yang: I'm just hanging around today. Soooo bored...
SO AM I THEY SUNK MY SHIP IN COLD WATERS
GAME: It seems you need an oppertunity to become closer...
That's the actual grammar error.
AND THE OPTIONS ARE FAKE

WHAT DO I DO
WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO

I found this completely on accident. Wow.
*Choose Daily Events, GAME tells me Ruby is Monday-Exclusive*
Oh.
*Because there's nothing else I can do, chose to rest until evening*

This looks more like night and not evening.
I'll send in if there's something interesting.
*NOPE*

I'M HOLDING ON FOR BLAKE
THE SHIP WILL LIVE ON

DON'T
(DATA EXPUNGED)
DISSAPOINT
Blake: Oh, hello.

Don't...don't block my ship.
AU!Pit: Looking for anything specific?
Blake: Oh, well... I'm looking for "Violet's Garden", but the library doesn't seem to have it. I'm not suprised though, it's a pretty rare book...
Blake: It's a shame. I thought maybe Beacon of all places would have it... I'll find something else to read...
GAME: New Mission! Check the missions tab in the menu to check the details.
Okay, so if we get the book, THEN we'll get to increase our support level, right?
Blake: Ok then, i'll talk to you later.

Missions screen is actually helpful.

I MUST KEEP THE SHIP ALIVE
GAME: You ask Ozpin about "Violet's Garden".
Ozpin: If it is not in the library, you could try the local book store. They might have what you seek.
Ozpin: Just go to the commercial district and go past the weapons shop downtown. You shouldn't have any trouble finding it.
GAME: You decide to go to the bookstore.
MORE WALKING TIIIIIIME

Alright, now to find the store.

So here's the weapons shop.

And here's the bookstore!
Store Owner: Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade! Home to every book under the sun! How may I help you?

Stat ups? Well, time to remember this location.
Either way, we got the book, and we're getting that C-Support!

WE'RE DOING THIS MAN

WE'RE MAKING THIS HAPPEN
GAME: You show Blake the book.
Blake: Is that...? I can't believe you found it!

Okay then. Not gonna complain about this one.
GAME: Blake is reading the book aloud, quietly, but loud enough for you to hear.

Mary Sue Powers
AU!Pit: There is this book store in Downtown...
Blake: And you got it for me? You really are something special aren't you?
Special and Aren't should be seperated with a comma.

I see you looking at me. And shut up.
AU!Pit: I read plenty.

That happened immediately.
AU!Pit: Of course.
Blake: Ok then. We shall go when we have the chance.

I DID IT
GAME: You are now friends with Blake Belladonna!
Blake: I'm going to go back and continue reading, I'll see you later.
GAME: You and Blake part ways and return to your rooms.
THE SHIP IS ALIVE

GET OUT OF HERE

Yeah, I'm cutting it here. That was definitely where we should end the game.

And now
This again
(I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE)

Don't worry about the timeskip

Oh, I guess this is how we advance the story
(I DI-IT DIDN'T HAPPEN)
Great, time requirements.
LET'S SEE IF SATUDRAY WILL GIVE IMPORTANT INFORMATION

yaaaaaaaaaaaay
(I REALLY DON'T GET IT)

WHAT DO I DO
WHERE DO I GO

Okay, I think I found something.

Yep, definitely found something.
This Guy: Yes, the creatures of Grim have many names. But I refer to them as prey. Ha-hah!
Isn't it Grimm from what I heard?
GAME: ...
This Guy: Uh... And you shall too upon graduating from this prestigious academy.
*cough*
This Guy: Now, as I was saying, Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world.
BACKSTORY THANK YOU
This Guy: Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces.
This Guy: And that's where you come in. Huntsman, Huntresses. Individuals that have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
I only remember signing the Mary Sue Contract, though.

Oh-kay.
AU!Pit: ...
This Guy: That is what you are training to become. But first, a story. A tale of a young, handsome man. Me! When I was a boy...
NOBODY CARES.
Ruby: *giggle*

Ruby what are you doing you're going to get into trouble
GAME: Only Weiss seems to be paying attention.
Port: The moral of the story, a true Huntsman must be honorable. A true Huntsman must be dependable. A true huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise.
Just like a Mary Sue.
Port: So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?
PICK ME PICK ME
Weiss: I do sir!
Port: Well then, let's find out. Step forward and face your opponent.

What?

I guess it's character development time?
Weiss: What?!
Ruby: What's wrong with you? Why are you bein-?
Weiss: What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you?! You're supposed to be a leader, and all you've been so far is a nuisance!
I feel like "you" in sentence 2 should get more emphasis.
Ruby: What did I do?
EVERYTHING.
Weiss: That's just it! You've done nothing to earn your position! In the forest, you acted like a child and only continue to do so!
Ruby: Weiss, where is this coming from? What happened to all the talk about working together? I thought you believed in acting like a team.
She's saying you're not acting like a good leader.
Weiss: Not a team led by you. I've studied and trained and quite frankly I deserve better.
Weiss: Ozpin made a mistake.
*OZPIN ENTER STAGE RIGHT, WEISS EXIT STAGE LEFT*
Ozpin: Hmm... that didn't seem to go very well.
You think?
Ruby: Is she right? Did you make a mistake?
Ozpin: That remains to be seen.

Uhh, who's saying this?
GAME: You nod and go to find Weiss.
Is this time for required C-Support?

I didn't see the fight, but taking her mind off of it would seem like a...good choice?
AU!Pit: That was a good fight.
Weiss: Oh, what are you doing here?

Whoa there, partner! Let's not get too edgy!
AU!Pit: You seem to be upset.
Weiss: Well, I am.
Never thought I'd have to call on this image, but...


WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE WEISS ANGRY AT ME
AU!Pit: Yeah, no.

WHY AM I BEING GIVEN THE WORST CHOICES IMAGINABLE
I JUST WANT TO BE FRIENDS
AU!Pit: I don't question Ozpin.

YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME CODING
AU!Pit: Work on your attitude.
Weiss: How dare you?!
I think that we should lose a friendship rank for this amount of anger. ...but i'm at rank 0.

Hey look, it's that guy.
GAME: Prof. Port seems to be evestropping.
I THINK THE LAST WORD IS MISSPELLED.
Weiss: That's not even remotely true... Well, not entirely true...
Port: So the outcome did not fall in our favor. Do you really believe acting in such a manor would cause those in power to reconsider their decision.
He has a point, you know.
Port: So instead of fretting about the skills you don't have, favor what you can do. Hone your skills. Perfect every technique. And be not the leader, but the best person you can be.
Is this morals? Or is this some kind of lesson?
Weiss: I...

I think she just saw a ghost.
Port: Well, I best be off! Good luck with your endeavors.
YOU'RE JUST GONNA LEAVE THAT QUICKLY
Weiss: What he said... There may have been some truth to it.
Weiss: Thanks for coming to set me straight, but you could've a little nicer about it...
"Could've BEEN a little nicer". It's not that hard.
Weiss: If you need anything, I'm normally studying in our team's room.
I checked there nearly every day, and you haven't. LIAR.

I hardly did anything all I did was make it worse
GAME: You are now friends with Weiss Schnee!
Weiss: Anyway, I better go. It looks like I may have some apologizing to do...
I expect it to take an hour.
Weiss: I'll see you later.
Byyyyyyyeeeeee-
GAME: You parted ways with Weiss.

Let's see if we can do a thing with Yang now that I have C-Support with everyone else.
(NOPE, MUST BE EVENT LOCKED)
Come on.
-WEDNESDAY, WEEK 2-

Are they gonna allow me to increase it even further?
(YEP)

Just friend everyone in sight, and nothing can go wrong.

Aaaaand back here.
Blake: Ah, this one looks good.
Blake: Excuse me, how much is this book?
It's either absurdly high or 500.
Tuscon: That's 5 Lien. A good read, I might say!
A rare book is 100. A stat-increasing book is 500. I don't understand economics.
Blake: Thank you.
Tuscon: Have a good day!
Blake: I...

See? This is the kind of dialouge I want to see! I WANT TO BE FRIENDLY!
AU!Pit: It's what friends do.
Blake: It's just... Most people ignore me because I'm... quiet. And when people do try to interact with me, I just brush them off.
Blake: Kinda like when I tried to do that to you at the library... and Ruby on the first day.
We're helping Blake out with being shy! HELPFUL!
Blake: But after I was put on a team with Ruby and the others, I learned that what I was doing was wrong...

FRIENDSHIP
AU!Pit: Thanks.
Blake: It's what friends do.
Hey look, the line I said was copied. Eh.

DUN
DUN
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
I do not want to see any spoilers on this secret. If you know what it is, have some restraint and please...shut up and let me figure it out myself.
Friendship Rank: 2 (B-Support)
Blake: We should do this again sometime.
GAME: You both return to Beacon as Blake flips through her new book.
-THURSDAY, WEEK 2-
I don't think I can do anything this day
-FRIDAY, WEEK 2-

Well, it's a limited alpha, so I shouldn't complain nothing's happening, but...
NEXT TIME
Maybe I'll find what day I can hang out with Weiss if that's an option. Or find Blake's secret. Either one works.
...Story advancement? What's that?

Okay, so I checked the gamejolt page for the game, and so far, Blake and Yang are the only "finished" interactions, with Ruby partially done.
...It's beta.
-TIMESKIPPING TO IMPORTANT BITS-
-MONDAY, WEEK 3-

I wonder if I can get another Ruby Support Conversation...
(YES)

And here comes the A-Support. Remember, i'm trying for S-Support on Blake because OTP. And reasons.

This is most definitely a weapon shop.
Ruby: These are cool too!

It wouldn't be a Mary Sue if they didn't care about people paying attention to them.
AU!Pit: Uhh...Ruby?

We knew that since Day 1 when you geeked out over the Twin Pistol Katanas.
AU!Pit: Don't worry.

I can see that.
AU!Pit: I noticed.
Ruby: I thought you might.
RIVETING.
Ruby: It's just... Weapons are the one thing that all hunters and huntresses have in common.

I'm pretty sure that isn't all that.
AU!Pit: Fighting isn't everything, y'know?
That's not a question.
Ruby: You're starting to sound like Yang...
How should I know, I still haven't gotten one support with her!
Ruby: Maybe I can start anew at Beacon, and not be the girl who blew up on the first day.
Ruby: I'm gonna show the world what Ruby Rose can do!
There's determination for you.
GAME: Despite her cheery attitude, you sense sadness in Ruby's voice.

Is that really it? I'm guessing this is the limit of the beta's Ruby supports.
Friendship Rank: 3 (A-Support)
Ruby: Well, I think I have kept you long enough. You go on ahead, I'll catch up with you later.

WHUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I think I changed Ruby's mind about something.
AU!Pit: I don't follow.
Yang: For being a good friend to Ruby, she really needs somebody to lean on from time to time.

Backstory? Oh my gosh!
AU!Pit: Since what?
Yang: It's nothing... I'm sure she will tell you when she is ready.
Yang: But, any friend of Ruby's is a friend of mine! We should all hang out some time! Whaddaya say?
I was wondering when I could do this.
GAME: You sense a feeling of friendly gratitude with Yang.

I HIT THE FRIEND ZONE
GAME: You are now friends with Yang Xiao Long!
...Japan. (or is it china)
Yang: Well, it's late. Be sure to take me up on my offer! See ya!
How coincidental I can hang out with Yang on a Tuesday, and this is Monday...

Lies.
-TUESDAY, WEEK 3-
Time to reach B-Support. Hey, if we have limited options in an alpha, might as well use all of them.
Yang: What's up? Got nothing to do?
(TIME TO HANG OUT AND DO THINGS)
Yang: Cool! I just need to grab something! I will be right with you!

GAME: Yang has brought you to Beacon Cliff.
We know that. We don't have that bad of memories.
Yang: Now, let's get down to buisness!
Yang: Let's fight!
Defeat Equals Friendship now applies.

I didn't expect a fight sequence.
AU!Pit: Let's go!
GAME: You and Yang clash until you both drop to the ground.
...Nice tie.

Both of us are equals. How interesting.
AU!Pit: You too.
Yang: That was exactly what I needed!
Yang: It was nice to just, I dunno, cut loose! We should do this more often! We could train together.
TRAINING MONTAGES!
[I DIDN'T GET THIS IMAGE NOOOOO-]
AU!Pit you have the stupidest thoughts
AU!Pit: Is that why you brought me here?
Yang: Heh...you got me.
Yang: You see, Blake is always reading and is too quiet, Weiss is always studying, and I know all of Ruby's moves. You though, you're unpredictable.
RNG based combat sequences.

WE MUST FIGHT THE MOST POWERFUL! WE MUST BE THE BEST WE CAN BE!
...Still edgy, I see.
AU!Pit: Stronger... yes...
Yang: What are you? An evil mastermind?
SHE KNOWS. *Inception BWOM*
Yang: Let's do our best!

MYSTERY! INTRIGUE! SUSPENSE!
Friendship Rank: 2 (B-Support)
Yang: Alright! Whenever we can, we come here to train!
Yang: But now... I'm hungry... I'm gonna grab something to eat.
Well, I have a coupon for Grillby's....
Yang: See you tomorrow!
GAME: Drained from your battle, you also head back.
-WEDNESDAY, WEEK 3-
IT BEGINS
WE WILL FIND OUT BLAKE'S SECRET
I THINK

...YOU'RE GONNA BLOCK ME LIKE THIS?!

Great, now we have more vidya.
(PRESSED Z TO SKIP ON COMPLETE ACCIDENT)
Oh.

Who are those five over there anyway?
Ren: It was day.
Great, I Forgot Orange One's Name (It's Nora): We were surrounded by Ursi.
Ren: They were Beowolves.
What's Her Name: Dozens of them!
Ren: Two of them.
What's Her Name: But they were no match and in the end, Ren and I took them down and made a boat load of Lien selling Ursa skin rugs!
I THINK THAT REN IS THE SANE PERSON HERE.
Ren: She's been having this reoccuring dream for almost a month now.
Phyrron's Sister: Jaune, are you okay? (THEY SPELLED IT RIGHT)
Jaune: ...Uh? Oh yeah, why?
Ruby: It's just that you seem a little...not okay.
I ARE ENGLISH.
Jaune: Guys, I'm fine. Seriously. Look.
Phyrron's Sister: Jaune, Cardin has been picking on you since the first week of school.
WHO?
Jaune: Who, Cardin Winchester? Naw, he just like to mess around, you know, practical jokes.
I don't think.
Ruby: He's a bully.
Jaune: Oh please. Name one time he's "bullied" me.
She'll name five. At least.
Blake: He shoved you into a rocket propelled locker and sent you away.
Jaune: ...I didn't land far from the school.
Not evidence against bullying.
Phyrron's Sister: Jaune, you know if you ever need help, you can just ask.
What's Her Name: Ooo! We'll break his legs!
...Let's distance ourselves from her, shall we?

THAT'S ALSO NOT AN EXCUSE

THAT POOR, DEFENSELESS GIRL.
I think Top Left Person: Hahaha, I told you it was real.
I think Bottom Left Person: What a freak.
Phyrron's Sister: Atrocious. I can't stand people like him.
ITG Players? I /hate/ ITG Players. (GET OUT OF HERE, YUKURI! NOBODY WANTS AN AYAZE REPEAT!)
Blake: He's not the only one.
Yang: It must be hard to be a Faunus.
WHAT?
GAME: You and the others parted ways.
-THURSDAY, WEEK 3-
NOW I HAVE TO TIMESKIP AN ENTIRE WEEK TO GET BACK TO THE BLAKE AND YANG CONVERSATIONS
THANKS A LOT
-FRIDAY, WEEK 3-

This is probably the one time I'd be glad to get an infodump like this.

NEVER MIND I DON'T THINK I'LL GET ANYTHING
Scientist Guy: Now! While this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events.
Scientist Guy: Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day.
Yes, will this be on the test?
Scientist Guy: Now! Have any among you been subjugated or discriminated because of your Faunus heritage?
So they're a race?
GAME: Two people raise their hands, including the girl from the other day.

Wait, those are bunny ears, aren't they?
ohnoohnoohnoohnofurriesfurriesfurriesgetoutoftheregetoutofthere
Scientist Guy: Dreadful, simply dreadful. Remember students that it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence. I mean just look at what happened to the White Fang.
WHAT IS WHITE FANG?
Scientist Guy: Now! Which one of you young scholars can tell me what many theorists believe to be the turning point in the third year of the war?
DEAR LORD HIS TEXT GOES ON
Weiss: The battle at Fort Castle.
Named in part by the Department of Redundency Department.
Scientist Guy: Precisely! And who can the advantages the Faunus had over General Lagoon's forces?
"WHO CAN TELL ME". Autocorrect is not 100% reliable sometimes.
Jaune: Hey!
GAME: Cardin seems to be messing with Jaune again.
TYPICAL HIGH SCHOOL DRAMA
Scientist Guy: Mr. Arc! Finally contributing to class! This is excellent, excellent! What is the answer?
INCOMING STORM IN THREE
Jaune: Uh... the answer... The advantage, uh, the Faunus... Had over... That guy's stuff...
TWO
GAME: Pyrrha Phyrron's Sister tries to give Jaune the answer through hand signals.
...ONE?
Jaune: Uh... Binoculars.
Yep.
GAME: *faceplam*
Can't tell if that was a typo or if we've been very subtly referenced.
Scientist Guy: Very funny Mr. Arc. Cardin? Perhaps you'd care to share your thoughts on the subject!
Cardin: Well, I know it's a lot easier to train an animal, then a soldier.
>IMPLIED RACISM TOWARDS FAUNUS
Phyrron's Sister: You're not the most opened minded of individuals are you, Cardin?
CALLED OUUUUUT!
Cardin: What? You got a problem?
Phyrron's Sister: No, I have the answer. It's night vision. Many Faunus are known to have nearly perfect sight in the dark.
OOOOOOOOH!
Blake: General Lagoon was inexperienced and made the mistake of trying to ambush the Faunus in their sleep. His massive army was outmatched and the general was captured.
Blake: Perhaps if he'd pay attention in class, he wouldn' have been remembered as such a failure.
I'm guessing that typo was because of the box cutting it.
*Cardin steps out of his seat*
Scientist Guy: Mr. Winchester, please take your seat.
*Cardin steps back into his seat*
Jaune: Haha.

I'm so sorry I had to sit you through that wall of text without images.
GAME: You sat through the rest of class.

Is this the part where we confront the bully?
Phyrron's Sister: You know, I really will break his legs.
Phyrron's Sister: I have an idea! Here, come with me.
WAY TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

Back here at the rooftop~
Phyrron's Sister: No! That's not why I brought you up here. I know you are having a difficult time in class, and you are still not the strongest of fighters, so... I want to help you.
More then you already are when you're teammates with him?
Jaune: What?
Phyrron's Sister: We can train up here after class where no one can bother us.
Jaune: You think I need help?
YES. In a way.
Phyrron's Sister: No! No, that's not what I meant.
Jaune: But you just said it.
Called out.

She has a point.
Jaune: You're wrong. *sighs* I don't belong here.
Don't put yourself down like that, man. You need to have some faith in yourself.
Phyrron's Sister: That's a terrible thing to say, of course you do.
See? She agrees!
Jaune: No I don't! *sighs* I wasn't really accepted into Beacon.
...Am I gonna change canon in this scene at all?
Phyrron's Sister: W-What do you mean?
Jaune: I mean I didn't go to combat school, I didn't pass any tests, I didn't earn my spot at this academy. I got my hands on some fake transcripts and I lied.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
Phyrron's Sister: What? But why?
He wanted girls to like him back when we saw him at Day 1. That's one reason, but unlikely.
Jaune: Because this is what I've always wanted to be. My father, his grandfather, and his father him were all warriors, they were all heroes. I wanted to be one too. I just was never good enough.
...I think this would be more impactful if the typo of "his father him" was fixed.
Phyrron's Sister: Then let me help you.
Jaune: I don't want help! I don't want to be damsel in distress, I want to be the hero!
How are you gonna do that without a guide to help you?
Jaune: I'm tired of being the lovable idiot, stuck in the tree while his friends fight for their lives, don' understand? If I can't do this on my own, then what good am I? ... Just leave me alone, okay?
Another text box-induced typo.
Phyrron's Sister: If that's what you think is best...

Yeah, he's acting like he's worthless. I can tell you he's not.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE LONGEST EPISODE BY FAR
AU!Pit: Are you okay?
Phyrron's Sister: I'll be fine, but I'm not sure about Jaune.
Phyrron's Sister: Thanks for coming with us. If you need anything, let us know.

That's all I needed to get C-Support with her?
GAME: You are now friends with Pyrrha Nikos!
Phyrron's Sister: I'll see you in class.
Cardin: Oh, Jaune.
OH GREAT THIS GUY
Jaune: Cardin?

Where are you in all of this anyway? Is this a bug?
GAME: Cardin knows about Jaune's fake admission into Beacon!
Of course it's the wrong crowd that gets the very black-mail worthy things.
Jaune: Please, Cardin please, don't tell anyone.
You know he'll use it as blackmail. You all know he'll use it as blackmail.
Cardin: Jaune, come one (literal text). I'd never rat out a friend like that.
"""""""FRIENDS""""""".
Jaune: A...a friend?
HE'S NOT A FRIEND JAUNE GET OUT OF THERE
Cardin: Of course. We're friends now, Jaunie-Boy. And the way I see it, as long as you are there for me when I need you. We'll be friends for a long time.
Nobody would believe that you two are friends for a second.

POINT A AS TO WHY.
Jaune: ...
Cardin: That's what I thought. Don't worry, Juane. Your secret is safe with me.
GAME: Cardin is blackmailing Jaune. You decide to talk to him about it later.
I guess next important class period.
-SATURDAY, WEEK 3-
...Yeah, this was a long episode. I am cutting it here so I don't have to go through more.

THREE TWO ONE GO
-SUNDAY, WEEK 3-
So, if you didn't catch what I just posted, apparently there's a visual novel involving Blake as the main character.
Well, they want me to ship it.
-MONDAY, WEEK 4-
(CAN GET EVEN HIGHER WITH RUBY?)

How high can FRs get anyway? This is going to be S-Rank, and now I have to find more things like it. SS, SSS, XS...

Ruby: Nothing...
Ruby: ARGH! Come on! How am I supposed to learn about Dust Functions, when there is nothing good here!
I checked the internet for the help, and from what I can gather, Dust = Mirai Points MP. (I MEAN THE IN-GAME INTERNET)

We rigged the D20 to get 20 on our spot check didn't we
AU!Pit: What about these?

THAT'S NOT RELATED
AU!Pit: You lost me.
Ruby: When I was little, Yang used to read me books every night.
How old are you two anyway
Ruby: Stories about great heroes and huntsman stopping great evil and preventing disaster.
Ruby: Stuff like that is what inspired me to become a huntress in the first place. That, and my family as well.
No really, how old are you and Yang
Ruby: So, I was hoping to find something that would teach me, but also tell a good story too. Like, "The Curved Blade" or "The Thief and the Butcher."
I don't remember those books, oddly enough.

#TextbookProblems
AU!Pit: I just try to get it over with.
Ruby: I'm glad that someone shares my work ethic.

Okay, which one is the most Mary Sue?
Not one, not two, so it's either 3 or 4.
Authors would try to make things all suspensful and deep when they aren't, so...OPTION FOUR!
AU!Pit: I made a promise.
Ruby: To who?
WE DIDN'T THINK THAT FAR OH NO
GAME: You explain to Ruby what your father said before you left for Beacon.
CALLBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKS
Ruby: I see. You gotta make him proud, right?
(Ded: Now, go! Be the best Pokemon Trainer Hunter there ever was! (I took some creative liberties here))
YES. I MUST.
Ruby: Well, I hope both of us achieve our goal!

The flash happened, but the DRAMATIC LIGHTING DIM didn't. Is this a glitch?
Also, this is quite short. Is this the throwaway date?
Friendship Rank: 4 (S-Support)
Ruby: Ah... I'm just gonna wing it with the next test.
Good luck with that.
GAME: You and Ruby search the library for a good novel and then return to your rooms.
On a kinda-related note, development says that Ruby's events have been 100% done. No update so far for that.
-TUESDAY, WEEK 4-
Well, we have nothing to do before the BIG REVEAL OF BLAKE'S SECRET, so might as well fill this time with a Yang support.

Time to get the A-Support conversation. (YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED AWAKENING YET)

Descisions, descisions. This doesn't actually give us stat ups, right? It would, admittedly, be cool if it did, but I don't think.
AU!Pit: Defending, we need to protect ourselves.
Yang: Defense, huh? I suppose I could work on that a bit. Alright, let's go!
GAME: You're training focuses on defensive techniques.
YOUR training. Not salty at all.

IT ACTUALLY WORKS?! I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD!

This really is an interactive So Bad, It's Good fanfic.
AU!Pit: Maybe you shouldn't announce your attacks.
Yang: Oh... that's a good point.

what is this face
Yang: I feel stronger! The training must be working!
It most certainly is. And, if I can suggest something, give other characters bonuses like this for friendships apart from Unlock by Mimicry.
Yang: But... I'm hungry again! How about you join me this time?
Are we going to see a new area? Probably not...
GAME: You join Yang for some food at Beacon's mess hall.

Hey look plates.

Is she calling me a Mary Sue?
AU!Pit: What kind of things?
Yang: Well, she told me about what happened in the dust shop, and how you saved her. She also told me to ask about your hometown. What happened?
CRUTCH CHARACTER. WHY DO I NEED TO SAY IT AGAIN AFTER ALL THIS TIME.
GAME: You explain what happened back home.
Yang: Holy crap, if I knew that...
EDGELORD IS BEST LORD
Yang: I would have fought harder to today!
"harder to today"? What is this sentence?
Yang: Hey, here's an idea! Next time we have some time off, let's visit your town!
[Not pictured: The sweatdrop that appeared over AU!Pit's head for three seconds]
GAME: You consider Yang's idea. How is everyone back home?
Yang: Oh, are you still worried?
Yes, that place was incredibly laggy.
Yang: Don't worry! If they attack again, we will drive them off, permanently!

See? It should be dark like that!
Friendship Rank: 3 (A-Support)

Somebody noticing Silent Character Syndrome for once.
AU!Pit: Right!
Yang: Heh, I look forward to it!
GAME: You say goodbye to Yang and return to your room.
-WEDNESDAY, WEEK 4-
Don't. You. Dare.
(NO INTERRUPTIONS)
YESYESYESYES

DETERMINATION LEVELS AT 100%
Blake: Oh, hello.
(Selects Yes to hang out)
Blake: I was just going to sit down and read, care to join me?
...Are we going to get the secret this conversation? Because I doubt it right now.

Okay, what will happen now?

That's a good question. Let's just select something.
AU!Pit: To experience a new adventure.
Blake: We are quite similar then.
Blake: When I was young, I didn't have much... Life was hard, and all I have is this.
TRAGIC BACKSTORIES!
Blake: They were my chance to escape, see the world from someone else's perspective. I could...
GAME: Blake pauses, it seems she is pondering her words.
SENTIMENT!
Blake: Being here at Beacon, it gives me a chance to be someone else, and help people. I can be someone people like.

MAYBE IF I TRY COMPLIMENTS I CAN GET THE SECRET
AU!Pit: You've got nothing to prove.

COMPLIMENTS ARE BEST WAY
AU!Pit: You are a great person already.
Blake: Thanks...
Blake: But I have to... Never mind...
Tell me about it. Please.
Blake: Thanks for talking to me, I appreciate it.

I DIDN'T GET THE SECREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
GAME: You feel like you understand her more.
Sort of. The secret must be found! IT IS A QUEST THAT MUST BE FUFILLED!
Friendship Rank: 3 (A-Support)
Blake: I'm going to head back now, I enjoyed talking with you.
GAME: You return to your room.
-THURSDAY, WEEK 4-
;_; why must you deny me my secrets in this way
(NOTHING HAPPENS)
-FRIDAY, WEEK 4-

*Gasp* GAAAAAAAAMEPLAAAAAAAAY?

GAAAAAAMEPLAY!
Also, good job cutting it off.
Glynda: I'm here to make sure none of you die while doing so.
Glynda: Each of you is to gather one jars worth of the red sap. However this forest full of the creatures of grim so be sure to stay by your teammates. We will rondevu back here at four o'clock. Have fu-
BEAUTIFUL TEXT CUTOFF!
Also, multiple grammar errors could be spotted. Try to catch them all!
*Cardin starts talking to Jaune*
Cardin: Come on buddy. Let's go.
This can only end so well.
GAME: Cardin is taking Jaune somewhere... You decide to follow them, without being noticed.
GAME: You hide behind a tree.
Are we going to get more video?

THAT'S THE SIDE OF THE TREE
Cardin: Payback.
For what? Getting called out for your Fantastical Racism towards innocent furries?
Jaune: Pyrrha? What do you-?
*SUDDENLY, TENSE MUSIC*
Cardin: That's the girl. Red hair, know-it-all, thinks she[TEXTBOX CUTOFF]
Cardin: so smart. Alright boys, last night old Jaune here managed to round up an entire box full of Rapier wasps, and now were going to put them to work.
Did you remember to put holes in it?
Cardin: Now, according to one of the essays he wrote for me last week, these nasty things looove sweets. I'm thinking it's time we teach her a thing or two.
I'm pretty sure anyone would notice the writing difference. How have you not been caught?
*Cardin looks toward Jaune*
Cardin: And you're gonna do it.
Jaune: Do what?
Are you semi-deaf?

oh my god he's being blackmailed however could we figure that out
Jaune: No...
STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF!
Cardin: What did you say?
He said no.
Jaune: I said no!
On a side note, I can see Ren and Nora's sprites down there, i'm not sure how they haven't noticed them yet.
GAME: Jaune threw the sap at Cardin!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Now he's gonna get dunked on!
Cardin: Oh, you've done it now.
Jaune: I don't care what you do to me, but you are not messing with my team.
SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS! Within measurable reason, of course.
Cardin: What? You think talk like that makes you tough? You think you're a big strong man now? Let's see how much of a man you really are.
SETTLE IT IN SMASH!

H-hey Gray Hair. You're missing it. T-turn around.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I MIGHT HAVE TO USE CARDIN
AU!Pit: Get ready for a fight!
Jaune: Alright! No more hiding in a tree!
BUT I WAS AT THE SIDE OF IT
*Cardin backs away*
Cardin: Yeah, go kick it's ass Jaune!
"GO KICK ITS ASS". I'm going mad.
Jaune: Coward. I'll deal with you later.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
GAME: Jaune is serious this time.
HE'S GETTING DUNKED ON!
Jaune: Here it comes!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

...It didn't do anything. I-IT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THEN A Z MASH.
(+130L)

But neither of you did anything
Jaune: Don't mess with my team, my friends ever again. Got it?
Erm... grammar seems off here.
Jaune: Thanks for having my back. I realize what I was doing, and I have some apologizing to do. To you, and Pyrrha... No, my whole team.
For being with that guy?
GAME: Jaune returns to beacon as a new man.
-SATURDAY, WEEK 4-

Also, here's the door in my room. This is all.

MINIGAAAAAAAAMES?

Oh. It's a bonus level. Okay.

What is that?
(AN INCREDIBLY OVERPOWERED VAMPIRE)
Aaaand autosave just forced me to reload my old save because I can't do that dungeon.
Now I have to replay everything again.
FUUUUUUUUUU-

WE'RE DONE. END OF STORY.

Welcome back t- wait.
(WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. I BLAME AYAZE.)

Welcome back for real this time. The person responsible was sacked.
-SUNDAY, WEEK 4-
And Iiiiiiiiiii
Will always love yoooooooooooou
-MONDAY, WEEK 5-
I highly doubt we can get yet another Ruby, but we have to try
And, from following the weekly updates, Player Character will be given a seperate mission for episodes 15+16, so if we want to see Blake's secret...

HOW HIGH DO RANKS GO

Time to have a meaningful conversation.

Why do we make that connection
AU!Pit: The Mailman?
Ruby: Yep. Ok, thanks.
Does this have something to do with weapons?
Ruby: It's a letter from Dad!
Which one's?
Ruby: Let's see...
CLASSIFY.
GAME: Ruby begins reading aloud.
I'm guessing it's her dad from this sentence.

Dad's Letter: I saw the ceremony on the news, quite the lineup for your team! Your sister, as well as Weiss Schnee! Be careful around her though.
Really? People just broadcast that?
Dad's Letter: You remind me so much of your mother, she would be very proud!
I haven't heard THAT one before.
Dad's Letter: Stay safe, and don't cause trouble. -Dad
Well, he didn't see Day One, that's for sure.

Well, she read it aloud...
AU!Pit: Sounds like a nice guy.
Ruby: Hey, it's private!
Ruby: Oh... I probably shouldn't have read it aloud.
*fail trombone*

I'm going for a 100% backstory run, so let's trigger the neccesary event flag...
AU!Pit: What was that about your mother?
Ruby: Oh, it's nothing.
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure.
Ruby: Anyway, thanks for keeping me company. Like I said, I'm glad I took my Dad's advice.
Is this really the extent of this one?

Of course it is. And I'm betting this is the last Ruby Support Conversation.
Friendship Rank: 5 (SS-Support)
Ruby: Well, I'll see you later. I gotta start studying after last time...
GAME: You decide to return to your room.
-TUESDAY, WEEK 4-
Is this like the episode 10-11 period?
(DO MORE WITH YANG TIME)
Yang: You go to the usual spot, I'll catch up with you shortly.

I can see Ruby's head there. You're not fooling anybody.
Yang: Sorry we're late! A certain somebody needed some convincing...
See? I told you guys!
Ruby: Yang, seriously. I don't need to train in hand-to-hand combat! That's your thing, I got Crescent Rose!
And I have swords, what's your point?
Yang: And if you lose it during battle? What then?
Ruby: I would run over to it! I am fast enough.
Or you could just tie a rope to it.

I guess this is to prove the point. So, of course, time to do the point.
*Takes Cresent Rose*
Ruby: Hey!
GAME: You successfully capture Crescent Rose, then toss it to Yang.
POWER OF... PLOT DEVICE!
Yang: See what I mean?

This face tho.
GAME: Yang quickly shoots you a thankful look.
Ruby: That's not fair! I didn't see him coming!
Life's not fair! The RNG is not fair! Ayaze's gimmicks are not fair! Get over it!
Yang: And everything else you face will be like "hey Ruby, i'm going to attack you now!" I doubt it.
SICK BURN
Ruby: I...
GAME: It seems Yang took your advice.
Which advice? I forgot. What.
Yang: Come on! At least humor me and throw a punch or two! You're probably angry after that.
Ruby: Ok then!
she's going to fail right

Oh. Well then. If I can make it happen...
GAME: You grab Ruby's fist mid-punch.
I don't think we're helping. Did we do a bad?
Ruby: What?!
Yang: You see what I mean? You went for the chest, easily blocked or does minimal damage. Aim for the stomach or head!
git gud scrub
Ruby: Hang on a sec, my hand hurts...
GAME: Yang does some hand-to-hand training with Ruby, then sends her back.

Everyone can improve. Right?
AU!Pit: No problem.
Yang: She can be so irritating at times, but I love her all the same. That's why I want to teach her self-defense, I won't always be around to save her butt.
MOTIVATION!
Yang: Don't get me wrong, she is a great fighter... When she has her scythe. That seems to be her greatest weakness.
Don't you have fists for your weapon?
Yang: She needs to learn to listen, then I will stop nagging her.

CALLED OUT
Um...uh...play it cool and keep it as Mary Sue as possible.
AU!Pit: Why don't you find out?
*CURBSTOMP IMMINENT*
Yang: Calm down, I'm only joking! I know you could Mimic my moves anyway.
THAT'S NOT HOW MIMIC WORKS. IT'S ONLY SEMBLANCES. I THINK PUNCHING DOES NOT COUNT AS A SEMBLANCE.
(I'm going to get 15 Clarity PMs on this aren't I)
Yang: Good job reading my gesture by the way, she had no idea!

congratulaes
Friendship Rank: 4 (S-Support)
Yang: I don't think Ruby plans on coming back to train though... It's just us again next time!
Good, then maybe we could get the stat buffs next time.
GAME: You and Yang head back to beacon.
-WEDNESDAY, WEEK 5-
So yeah, if we're not with the normal cast for 15+16, the end of V1, then us knowing Blake's secret would most likely be either:
1. Through the conversations, or
2. At the beginning of V2 via information from the rest of the team (we won't see that because of beta limitations)
(RANK 4 START!)
Blake: There is a little outdoor cafe in town, how about we grab something there?
Guaranteed no secret this conversation if it's public.

Slow buisness today. Only two at the shop.
AU!Pit: Nice day today.
Blake: Yep, its one of the reasons I wanted to come out here.
Blake: I think that getting out and enjoying myself is the first step to a new me.
A new you? Huh?

Self-improvement and such and such. *cough*
AU!Pit: Good for you.
Blake: Yeah, but it would be boring without company...
i have to get every single conversation to find out the secret don't i
GAME: Blake gives you a faint smile.
So, I'm getting Blake comfortable with me. SO NOW I HAVE A SHOT AT THE SECRET.

I used "I made a promise" on Ruby, where is it? It just left! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!
AU!Pit: To protect those I care about.
Blake: Ruby told me about what happened in Patch, I understand what you mean.
GAME: Blake seems to be thinking about what you said.
INCONSISTENT ANSWERS COME TOWARDS ME
Blake: Everyone has different reasons for their actions, you know about mine. So, I thought to ask you, and see your outlook on this.

I think we need to console Blake here. Backstory can lead to hints at secrets, right?
AU!Pit: Like what?
Blake: ...
Was that a wrong choice? Wait, this is a Mary Sue.
GAME: Blake clearly doesn't want to talk about it.
Blake: Ugh! Come on Blake! That's enough!
*TENSION RISES*
Blake: I came out here with you to have fun! Talking about this won't help.
Blake: Let's talk about something else, know any good jokes?
The last time I tried, I got threatened with a Zetta.
GAME: You crack your best joke.
Blake: HaHa! That was awful! Oh, well. You're still cool to me.
The Room awful or Sonichu awful? Those are two very distinct types.

AND I WANT TO GET THAT HIDDEN THING
Friendship Rank: 4 (S-Support)
Blake: How about we hang around a bit more? We still have time.
GAME: You and Blake continue to talk until sunset, then head back.
-THURSDAY, WEEK 5-
And nothing of value was lost.
On a sidenote, and this is mostly personal, but why is there only main character rooms in the junior hallway?
It'd make the world seem more expansive if there were more floors to the junior hallway (and the senior hallway, but that has no purpose).
...I'd have to actually send the developer this in order for him to see this. Though we're the only Let's Play of it online I know...
-FRIDAY, WEEK 5-

When did I do that? What is this festival?
GAME: On the way there, however, you are interrupted by Ozpin.

OF COURSE
Ruby: Yes, sir!
Ozpin: That's good. You should enjoy yourselves. But, I need to speak with him. Alone.
...Is this episodes 15-16 already?

I DON'T KNOW EITHER BUT I'M SLIGHTLY WORRIED
Ozpin: I do apologize, but this is urgent.
Oh no, it totally is.
Yang: Alright then... I guess we'll see you later.

...Please let it just loop so I can get all conversations.
AU!Pit: What's this about?
Ozpin: Recently, we have had multiple damage reports with relation to the festival.
Ozpin: Some attractions, stands, establishments, and more have been damaged or destroyed.
What do you want me, one person, to do about it?

Once again, what is White Fang?
AU!Pit: Who is doing this?
Ozpin: We are unsure of who is doing this. Although, he seems to be acting alone.

Wait...that guy from the first day! IT REALLY IS THE END!
AU!Pit: Black hood?
Ozpin: Is there something you would like to share?
Yes, obviously.
GAME: You tell Ozpin about the man you saw before the incident in your hometown.
BECAUSE SCREW CHARACTERIZATION AM I RIGHT
Ozpin: Then... Could these events be related to what happened then?
Of course it is, because story.
Ozpin: It seems I picked the right person for the job after all.
Yep. We've officially, 100% without-a-doubt, hit Finale Territory.
Ozpin: You see, I need your help.

Kingdoms? In my modern day setting?
Ozpin: But, I can't send out hunters on a search, because it would cause the public to worry, and would alert the culprit that we are onto him.
Ozpin: You, however, are someone with extraordinary abilities. I doubt the culprit would notice if you were tailing him.
PRAISE THE MARY SUE!

Guys, if this is the final episode, and that we can't go farther into the support conversations...i'm sorry.
AU!Pit: I'll do it.
Ozpin: Good. I would like you to begin your investigation immediately. Here is where you shall begin...
GAME: The man in the black hood... Who is he?
Bob from Accounting?

Whaaaaaaaaaat.
AU!Pit: Are you Junior?
"Junior": Who are you?
I picked probably the wrong choice, but the funniness must flow if this is the finale!

Good options.
AU!Pit: You supply drinks for the festival?

I'm pretty sure asking around for people if they see a person might gather attention in a different way.
AU!Pit: Have you seen a man in a black hood?

Petty revenge schemes are the best kind.
AU!Pit: Revenge.
"Junior": Then maybe we can talk.
"Junior": You're right, I do supple the beverages for events at the Festival.
Good type.
"Junior": Or, I would have. Except that guy in the hood came and destroyed my supply from my warehouse!
"Junior": You know how much that cost me?!
At least 2,000,000L?
"Junior": I would go after him myself, but I'm short-staffed right now.

Them shady deals tho.
AU!Pit: Deal.
This is also a long episode. Will probably cut it off as soon as I can SAVE so we can have a BEAUTIFUL (maybe) TWO-PART FINALE SPECIAL!
"Junior": Alright. This guy's been hitting anything and anyone who is related to the Festival.
So find who hasn't been hit and plan a stakeout.
"Junior": I supply the drinks for the events, and B&B supplys the food, but that place has already been hit.
"Junior": However, the Schnee Dust Company supplys the dust used in the fireworks show. It hasn't been hit yet.
SUPPLIES.
"Junior": My guess is that it's gonna get hit tomorrow. After looking at the attack patterns, I'm sure of it.
THE END BEGINS.

Let's be the nice guy.
AU!Pit: Thanks.
"Junior": You make sure to get that sonofa bitch.
EDGE STILL EXISTS.
GAME: You decided to head home, and wait for tomorrow's break in.

This is supposed to be in the hallway. Eh...what?
Blake: That's not what I meant and you know it.
GAME: It sounds like Weiss and Blake are arguing.
Ya think?
Weiss: I don't know why this is causing such a problem.
Well, your company is going to get attacked tomorrow, but you aren't supposed to know that...
Blake: That is the problem.
GAME: Perhaps you should see what's going on...
THE EPISODE NEVER ENDS

Is this supposed to be a plot-relevent scene?
...Wait a minute.

I want to ask the question, too.
AU!Pit: What's going on?
Ruby: Oh... Hey... They've been at each other's throats since we saw a Faunus at the Festival...
Really? That big a trivial thing?
Weiss: People like me?
Blake: You're discriminatory!
...WAIT.
Weiss: I'm a victim! You want to know why I hate the White Fang? Why I don't particularly trust the Faunus? It's because they've been at war with my family for years. A war with an actual bloodshe-[CUTOFF]
SO LONG WHY
Weiss: My Grandfather's company has had a target painted across their back for as long as I could remember. And ever since I was a child, I watched family and friends disappear.
TRAGEDY!
Weiss: Board members, executed. An entire train car full of Dust, stolen. And every day my father would come home furious. And that would make for a very difficult childhood!
Ruby: Weiss, I...
Weiss: No! You want know why I despise the White Fang? It's because they are a bunch of liars, thieves, and murderers!
JUSTIFIED RACISM!
Dark Pit: INCOMING REVEAL?
SHUT UP.
Blake: Well maybe we were tired of being pushed around!
...oh. I didn't know what I expected.
Dark Pit: I knew though.
NOBODY CARES.

Hello there.
*FORCE MOVED DOWN*
Well, that happened. What do I do now? Wait for evening?
...Well, I was going to end it when I could, so...
NEXT TIME, WE MIGHT JUST SEE THE END OF THE STORY! BUT IS THIS THE END OF SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!
Dark Pit: Well, aren't some of your friends catgi-
CAN YOU PLEASE GET OUT OF HERE?
