[Since the whole mayor thing, was up, Fai had been getting a lot of people coming to him. Yes they were worried and of course that meant he had to do his job and do what they asked of him. So he had and soon as night came by, Fai didn't even go inside for the curfew. He had good reason. As he switched on the feed, he was giving off some kind of smug grin.]

So with Everglade we have the whole Mayor thing going on and the new law. I don't have much of a say obviously as those types of laws are what the Mayor is for. Hooowever... [He leant back slightly, he could hear the howling in the background. Yes they were out and yes, he wasn't obeying said laws.]

I still have all rights to any and all laws that involve protection and safety of not only normal people, but creatures of the night. I'm saying this because I've been visited by a good number of people today, asking for protection at night. I guess it helps that they are scared, but I believe people shouldn't be afraid in their own homes, so I did my job.

[He turned the phone around to a near by house. Most might notice it wasn't normal. There was something about it that was different. For those who know of magic would know it is a very powerful barrier. After a moment he turned the camera back around.]

I think I've done my job really well, don't you? It will activate every night at curfew time and will only go down when curfew is over. So if any vampire, werewolf or any other thinks they can get a nice little bite to eat will find they will have to get it elsewhere. Or use their time to actually bring fear to other creatures of the night or stray people. [He raised a finger up to bring up a point.]

Scaring only, of course. If they don't, I'll make them fear something if I have to. [He gives off such a charming smile, but really had something of a creepy feel to it. He was serious after all.]

That is all.

[Within the bay, yet another pod opens to reveal a stout man who...lacked skin. A skeleton. He was fast asleep with a perpetual grin plastered on his boney face. After several more minutes of napping, he awoke and he was suddenly...

Near the entrance to the bay with the gift box already in hand? It was only a wonder how or why he did that. Maybe to avoid getting his shoes wet?

In any case, Sans the Skeleton flipped open the box, thinking it was a gift from Papyrus, his brother. Maybe even a prank gift. Nah. He did find all of the interesting items in the box, from brochures to the money, communicator and necklace.

Sans looked out into the bright, sunny world with curiosity, and he moved himself by the stand with the Schnee Company welcoming hologram. It was a beautiful day outside. Birds were singing. Flowers were blooming. Its days like these that skeletons like Sans...should be walking on sunshine.

But he wasn't. Behind his perpetual grin was a sad skeleton. Not because of the realization that something was very weird and wrong, but by the fact that no one would shake his hand. Yep, none of his reports spoke of Genessia, as the hologram explained their situation, but by the fact that no one would shake his hand, which had a tiny whoopie cushion in his palm.

Stuffing his hands in his blue jacket pockets, Sans pulled out the communication device and fiddled with it, managing to get it turned on to a public broadcast to all others like him for his very important question...]

[VIDEO]

[A white skeleton face with little points in his eye sockets appeared on the public video feed, greeting everyone who sees him with a large grin.]

"Heyya. I'm Sans, the skeleton. Anyone know where I can find a Grillby's?"

[The video begins with Jaune adjusting it so everyone can see the new kitchen. On the pristine counter rests an unopened bottle of whiskey, two shot glasses (one of which is nearly overflowing with water), and a trading card. Jaune and Weiss are standing at the counter.]

What exactly am I doing here, Jaune?

I’m glad you could come, Weiss. Have you ever been into drinking tricks before?

No. [ Weiss was clearly the most encouraging of all of Jaune’s endeavors. ]

[His shoulders slump a little. Just a little. But he’s determined, so he steels himself and continues on confidently.] Well, I’m going to change your mind! Not only will you be left in awe by my...talents, but this is a skill that takes a lot of tries to actually master. Check this out.

[ Weiss crosses her arms, looking honestly doubtful about everything Jaune’s said. But she’s learned to be at least a little nicer to him. A little. He’s done things that have at least proven to her that letting him finish his sentence is acceptable, and she’s willing to at least see what he has in store. Who knows, maybe it’ll actually surprise her. ]

[Jaune smiles like a puppy way too eager to please. This is his chance to impress Weiss! He even turned on the video so everyone could see this. If he were honest, he had just discovered the trick, and hadn’t had any time to practice. But it didn’t look difficult, and this seemed like a good time to try it.]

Okay, Weiss. Don’t look away.

[Opening the bottle of whiskey, he keeps eyeing her out of the corner of his eye to make sure she’s still paying attention. He fills the empty glass with whiskey, miraculously not spilling any, and puts his expendable trading card on top of the glass of water. He takes a deep breath because he only has one chance at this. He flips the glass of water over…]

[But apparently doing so when your hands are sweaty from nerves isn’t a good idea because the card slips, allowing the water to splash all over the counter as well as anyone nearby. Jaune drops the glass out of shock onto the one filled with whiskey, spilling it too in the process.]

[Weiss jumps back with both of her hands up, since he most definitely got it all over her, a loud yelp passing her lips in surprise. Her voice jumps at least six octaves in a split second. When she puts her hands down, she narrows her eyes right at Jaune and balls her fists up. ]

What is wrong with you!? You just got that all over our brand new kitchen!

[Oh no Weiss is mad. Which isn’t that surprising but this was not the direction he wanted this to go in. He smiles nervously, fear obvious in his eyes, and holds up his hands to try to appease her. The fact that this is on video is forgotten. Priorities.]

That’s not the trick! It’s supposed to-- You’re supposed...it’s really impressive, I promise! Just let me try again, I have enough whiskey, and we still have water, and and maybe...let me get a towel first!

[ Weiss had given him a chance. She had. She really really had tried and now she smelled like a distillery and this was not what she wanted to deal with tonight. ]

Clean this up, I’m going to go take a shower. Don’t try that again inside the house, Jaune. You’re lucky you didn’t try to pull that in a room with carpet!

[ It doesn’t take long for Weiss to dab the worst of it out with a towel, stomping with every step as she heads upstairs. She is so done tonight. ]

[Weiss smells lovely no matter what. Jaune opens his mouth, still trying to turn this around.]

So is there a chance you’d watch outside? Maybe on a warmer day. That should give you some time in advance...because--

Because you’re so busy.

[But She’s already walking away. He thought it was a good plan because then he could practice and master the skill. He ends up running after her until he’s no longer in sight, though he does give up following her.]

[Ten minutes later, Jaune finally remembers he left the video on. He walks back to his videophone, disappointment crossing his face when he realizes it didn’t stop recording. Oh well. He looks like he’s about to say something, but he just looks away awkwardly and turns off the feed.]

[ooc: Blue is Weiss and Red is Jaune!]
