One: Video

[After waking up with no idea where she was on a mysterious boat, and moving up from said boat to discover a city she did not recognize in the least, Yang had just plopped herself down on a nearby bench. When it came to weirdness and oddity, the teen generally needed a few minutes to really process through all of it, so that's what she was doing. It wasn't helping very much, but at least the urge to scream was starting to fade?]

[Instead she turned on the walkie-talkie thing, flipping slowly through the options until she found what she hoped was some sort of video feature. On a social network? Something like that. It would have to do for now, anyway.]

Uh. Hey. I'm Yang. [She gives the screen a little wave.] Not really sure what's going on? I found these pamphlet things but, didn't really read 'em yet.

[She pauses, and her expression turns a bit frustrated as she points over her shoulder, back towards where she had emerged after waking up.]

Look, anybody else just wake up a boat? 'cause that's a thing that happened, and it's still freaking me out a little bit.

[She sucks in a breath and then runs her hand through her hair, tugging on it in frustration.] Right, anyway. I guess I'll just...read these? 'cause that'll help... Thanks.

[She waves again and then clicks the screen off.]

I'm not...really sure where she got off too, really. You know her. I'll head towards you now.

[footsteps!]

He's a dog, he's supposed to sleep wherever he wants. Or with you.

Okay.

[ Weiss is picking her dog up and heading out to the front porch now and lets Frost down. He stays on the porch while she backs away from the house so she can show Yang a front view so she knows what to look for. ]

He's supposed to sleep in his dog bed or on the floor, where I was training him to sleep until Ruby said she'd watch him while I went to the Dream Docks for a week. At which point she completely undid that by letting him sleep with her what I assume is every night. He barks until I let him up now and he cannot sleep there, especially when Zuko's over.

[And more walking as Yang heads in that direction.]

Dogs are supposed to sleep on the bed Weiss, they are companions, Ruby was right!

But more importantly, we get to have boys over, huh?

[She sounds jokingly excited.]

If they're supposed to sleep in my bed, then why do they sell dog beds?

Well... Blake and I both do, Ruby just never knows about it because they always come in through our windows.

That's where they sleep during the day when you're awake. [Obviously.]

Blake has a boyfriend too, huh?

That makes zero sense. Besides, he likes to sleep in my lap or in my purse during the day.

[ And that probably has more to do with Weiss absolutely adoring him to the point that she just takes him along as long as she isn't going to work or somewhere he can't go.. ]

She and Sun are together.

You keep the dog in your purse. [Yang just sighs and shakes her head.] Never mind.

Huh. Good for them. [She hesitates, pausing in her walk, her expression distant.]

This is all so weird.

What? He gets tired after about a block. He has tiny legs.

[ Weiss considers asking what's wrong, but she has an idea. ]

You said you didn't want to know where each day would lead you, didn't you? I think this counts.

That's not- [Yang reaches up to run her hand through her hair in frustration, then sighs.] Never mind. No sense brooding, right?

[Her grin is back. Trust that smile to always come back, even if she doesn't really mean it.]

So I didn't have a boyfriend or anything, right? During all this time I don't remember. Man that'd be awkward...

It's hard to get used to at first, especially when everyone insists you've been there the whole time. I've learned to stop bringing it up unless someone you bring it up first. So unless you ask questions, I'm not going to answer them. You're here now and that's what's important.

As for a boyfriend, not that you told us about. I think you went on a date with Attleton's guardian once, but that was after a date auction-- which I played the price up on for you, so it wasn't cheap. [ What are friends for other than to break the bank of men who want to date you? ]

I wouldn't even know where to start, question-wise. [She starts walking again, then actually laughs.]

I was in a date auction?!

It was for charity, and so was I. Though I never did find out who signed me up. It mostly resulted in my boyfriend spending far more money than he had at the time to go on a date with me thanks to Sun trying to pull a good friend thing and someone else trying to play a prank.

[If Yang had to guess blindly, she'd guess she would be the one to volunteer Weiss. But who knows?]

Your boyfriend says he's a prince, aren't they supposed to be wildly rich?

[ She would've been right. ]

He's a prince back in his world like I'm an heiress back in ours. Back then, he worked in a tea shop. Which he was really good at, but he had other things he had to focus on career-wise.

[ Some of which she'll be filling Yang in on when they're in person and not talking on the network, but there are some things even she has to keep quiet about. ]

Must be weird, worrying about money now, huh? [You're almost a normal person, Weiss!]

I think I'm almost there? Kind of guessing.

It won't be for too much longer. [ She's had it up to here with not being able to afford everything she wants when she wants it. ]

From what I can see, it looks like it. If it makes you feel any better, once you get here I think you have a motorcycle in the garage, so you won't have to walk everywhere.

Oh? Big plans?

[She brightens.]

My bike is here?

[Yang sees Weiss in the distance and lowers her phone, waving.]

I've spent nearly 10 months here being a waitress, then a manager, and people are still telling me that I'm not living up to what they expect of someone like me. So yes, big plans.

[ That's about as close to talking to someone as she's gotten regarding that though, beyond the people who've implied things like that-- even if they meant it harmlessly. ]

I think so? I don't really go into the garage much, that's sort of your and Ruby's area. Though Neptune is going to teach me how to drive, so I might need some of it if I can afford a car eventual-

[ She blinks when her phone gets lowered and looks up, waving back to her and heading toward her a little. Frost follows suit, jingling along the way with a little bell on his collar. ]

[Yang hooks the phone to her belt once she's close enough, looking over at the house.]

Nice place. And somehow I am not surprised you aren't a garage person, Weiss. [She grins.]

I'm sure I can find it. Hey there little guy!

[If the puppy gets close enough, she is getting scooped off the ground!]

[ Frost definitely gets swooped up then, because he's a curious little dog, though he does bark at being picked up by a stranger without even getting to sniff her first. ]

Thanks. I'm more of a foyer and breakfast nook person.

[ She very much enjoys the breakfast nook ok. ]

I'll get you a key later today. Come on.

[ It was cold after all, so Weiss isn't hesitating to lead her through the front door. ]

Hey, hey, chill, it's cool. [She shushes the puppy, squishing her in her arms to try and settle her down, and letting her sniff her hand as she follows Weiss inside.]

But what happens when your breakfast nook breaks and you have no idea how to fix it?

[Could that even happen? Yang wasn't entirely sure what a breakfast nook was...]

[ Frost seems to be a pretty easygoing dog since he just settles down after the first few barks and getting to sniff Yang's hand. He's just excited. ]

If it breaks I'm blaming you since it's a small dining area for casual food instead of using the whole dining area.

[ Basically, if anyone touches her dining room with the nice dining stuff a bunch of people got her and anything breaks she will end someone, so using the breakfast nook is the nice, safe, quick option. ]

...Isn't that what the kitchen table is for?

[Some people didn't grow up with multiple food-consuming areas, Rich Girl.]

[Once they're inside, Yang sets Frost down again and starts looking around, taking in everything.]

Not bad.

There's a breakfast nook and a dining room. The nook is connected to the kitchen, so that is probably what you're referring to.

[ Frost is going to follow Yang around happily in the house at her feet. ]

We just purchased it, so it's all fairly new. Ruby called dibs on the master bedroom, Blake and my rooms are upstairs. Your stuff.. the stuff you had before is in that room.

[ Weiss walks over to where she can see it so she can point to it. ] But you can move into any unused room you want. That one has its own bathroom attached, we have to share upstairs.

So it's the kitchen table. It doesn't need another name like 'nook.'

[Ah well, on to more important matters...]

My stuff. [Yang echoes this softly as she looks towards the indicated room, her expression uncertain. Her stuff. Because that made sense. But hey.]

I get my own bathroom, huh? [She manages a grin there.]
