Hello Genessia! I'm Aang. I work at the shrine. The official job description for here is spirit guide but I don't think leading people around the spirit world is a good idea so I'm interpreting it as spiritual guidance.

Since we've got a lot of new people and the paper only comes out once a week so that column might not answer everything, I thought I'd offer my services as good advice giver. Spirit guide giving spiritual guidance! Some good 'ole Avatar wisdom. Completely free. And you get optional onion-banana juice because... that helps for some reason. I'm not really sure why.

Anyway! I actually have a question to ask everyone.

What food around here does and doesn't have meat? And what's your favorite?

[For a girl wearing the same outfit she has since she arrived, she looks pretty good. Quinn can't show her face to the public otherwise.]

Um, hey, everyone. I just got a new place and now I need a job. Um, something in fashion or working with cute animals? I checked the paper but scrolling through all the listings made my eyes hurt so can anyone tell me if they're hiring? Preferably doing makeovers or giving clothing advice or taking care of cute little puppies and bunnies.

Thanks!

introspection )

[ Weiss took a deep breath and flickered the video on, her gaze unwavering as it did. She looked determined, serious. If any member of her family ever came here, she would likely be ruined after this video, but this was the only way to save the life she'd started building here. ]

Many of you may have seen Roman Torchwick's video and accusations earlier. The answer is yes.

Yes, many of those things are true. My father and our company under his leadership have been accused of doing those things and I have personally witnessed some of them. I don't have evidence of some of the things that Torchwick detailed in his apparent report, the source of which I find suspect given that while Schnee Dust Company in Remnant has managed to evade essentially all charges. If a report like that were legitimate, it certainly would've risen much sooner and certainly not in Genessia instead of back home. And I happen to know at least a couple of those are false, but the important ones aren't.

Yes, my family has used money to corrupt politics to get away with.. less than moral business practices. Yes, we...

[ Weiss took another deep breath. This was, honestly, hard for her. She hated the idea that her family's name was being dragged through the mud and that she was confirming it, even if she knew what was true. She wanted nothing more than to scream that Torchwick was a liar, but that wouldn't solve anything. ]

Schnee Dust Company has been known for both Human and Faunus rights abuses, most condemningly the forced labor of the Faunus people. Yes, Torchwick was telling the truth about that, but as usual he ran his mouth without knowing or including the entire story.

My family didn't claim our name in bloodshed or the sweat and tears of Faunus. It was my grandfather's company, and until my father took over it was a moral company. The Schnee family name didn't start off standing for these gross violations of humans rights, and I have no intention of allowing it to stay that way. Perhaps if Torchwick had taken a moment to question why the heiress to the company in question was busy attending a combat school for Huntresses instead of living easily in the comfort of my multiple homes and a plush office on the top floors of Schnee Company headquarters, he would have realized that leveling those accusations here was a mistake.

I chose to become a huntress because I have every intention of taking my family's company back from my father to make certain that the Schnee Dust Company doesn't operate in the dark, because I will need those skills to reclaim it from him. I never brought any of this up here in Genessia not because I had the intent to deceive any of you, but because by saying this publicly, I run the risk of my family finding out if any of them come to Genessia. I don't intend to back down back home, nor do I intend to let Torchwick take Schnee Company down to his level here. Schnee Company in Genessia is going to be a prime example of what Schnee Dust Company in Remnant should operate like.

The entire reason that the people from my world agreed not to start a witch hunt for Torchwick when he first arrived was on the basis of second chances. Torchwick squandered his when he attacked my friend and I, killing her and kidnapping me out of a sick need for vengeance because we've cut a couple of his heists short- a part of our jobs as huntresses.

Don't take Schnee Company and my second chance away from us because Torchwick decided to share what my father is responsible for and I haven't had the chance to fix back home yet.

[At first, Roman didn't think much of Weiss' public declaration of war. Zuko was a force to be reckoned with but he could handle Weiss. Thing is, her little business was getting a lot of recruits. If she just stuck to her corner of town he could happily forget that she existed, but at this rate Schnee Corp will reach the status it had in Remnant. The last thing he needs is that prissy little tyrant making dirty deals with the authorities while she still held a personal grudge against him. Best to nip this in the bud.

The video appears to be taken on a rooftop. He lounges against the railing, a glass of wine in one hand and a smoldering cigar in the other.]


Good afternoon! Roman Torchwick speaking. Forgive the anonymous video, but I'm choosy about giving out my personal number. The boys in law enforcement can't keep their hands off me and I'd hate to encourage them.

[He winks at the camera.]

Anyway, I'd like to talk to you all about the Schnee Company. You could consider this a public service announcement. I'm from the same world as her, so I've got a little preview of what we're in for if we let them set up shop here. See that file attachment there? Go on, take a look!

[He takes a drag on his cigar and blows a couple of smoke rings while he waits. For anyone who opens the file, it's a long word document about the Schnee Dust Corporation. It's truth padded by reasonably believable lies.]

That's some but not all of the accusations leveled at the Schnee Dust Corporation in the past few years. Human rights abuses, shady business deals with organized crime and politicians, drug and weapons trafficking... they even threw in some sex scandals to keep things interesting! If you doubt me, you can always go to the Vale subarchway and ask around. The specifics might be different since it's not quite like our Vale, but you'll get the gist of it.

Now I'm not one to judge, but you all seem pretty happy with your small business economy, unbiased justice system, and honest government. I know we all have to make a living, but when I see all these poor suckers falling all over themselves to be part of the Schnee Personal Army...

[He shrugs.]

Well, don't say I didn't warn you.
