[Remember that fairy tale about Hansel and Gretel? And the witch with the candy house? Well, Nora's become the witch with a candy factory...her wonderful marshmallow discovery has now expanded to make all SORTS of candy! Some of the goods can be seen on the conveyor belts in Nora's video feed.]

Hey everyone! Come get some candy! It's free~

[It's Nora. Nothing is going to happen....right?]

Free is good, but often too good to be true. Or safe.

You sure it's not... contaminated?

[Or worse, has some magical effect. She's been to someplace even crazier than Willy Wonka's factory, so she's not taking her chances for free candy. That, and "FREE CANDY!" almost always leads to bad things to her knowledge]

video; god it really happened

[dramaticals]

[guess who realized he wasn't a prince. and now he's overly grumpy... again.]

It's probably poisoned.

[Ruby glances over at her dwindling supply of candy, then back at the screen.]

Count me in!

I'll be over soon and I'll see if I Weiss wants to come too.

[imitationsloth]

[At this point she has a lollipop in her mouth, she pulls it out to look at it, kicking her legs from where she's sitting above the conveyor belts.]

Seems fine to me~!

video; of course it did~ challenge accepted

[imitationsloth]

Hasn't killed me yet, don't think it is.

Video

[imitationsloth]

Sounds like a plan!

I'll be here!

[trigram]

[She raised an eyebrow. This girl sounds like one of those really hyper people]

How many did you have? You sound like you have more energy than a nuclear power plant.

[Ozpin had noticed several changes in people's behaviors in recent days. Heck, even he was more reclusive than normal, allowing his illusions to do most of his footwork. However, this really struck him. Something about the look in her eye, the tone of her voice just didn't sit right.]

What are you planning, Miss Valkyrie?

[Video]

[leekspins]

That's the very best kind!

[Oh man, she can even give some to the poor! ...Did Robin Hood ever distribute candy...? Probably not, but that's just because he didn't have the opportunity! Yes.]

How much are you giving away?

[combatskirts]

[weiss had told ozpin that she was watching out for her teammates, so when ruby got excited about nora's factory? she had no choice but to come along. it was dangerous out there for them, so she brought Myrtenaster with her just in case they ran into trouble.

the heiress wasn't very crazy about candy, but ruby seems to live on the stuff so she also brought a spare bag they can fill and take home. she's sure that blake would enjoy it and yang too, when they find her.... if there's any left, that is.]

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Ruby had Crescent Rose with her too; half in case something happened while they were out, half because she never left home without it anyways. It was her baby, she wouldn't not take it where ever she went.

She's skipping happily toward the factory. She had a huge bag and a backpack ready to stock up on her candy supply. Weiss' bag would make a fine addition to her candy horde if she wasn't going to actually eat much.]

I think this factory may be the best thing Nora's ever found.

[monkeystowaway]

Did you just like commandeer a candy factory?

[imitationsloth]

[This girl IS one of those really hyper and happy people.]

Not a whole lot, just enough to make sure it was good! And it is!

[imitationsloth]

[She sounds confused, but really isn't. Ozpin can probably realize it's an act.]

Nothing! The factory I found just decided to branch out, I'm sure.

[Video]

[imitationsloth]

As much as they'll let me before I get kicked out! [Which is never, because she maaay have taken out the guards / operators / what have you earlier.]

Come on by, I'll get you some!

[imitationsloth]

[Nora's watching them approach from one of the windows, using the time to pack some of the candy into bags as bait.]

Yes, come visit. You'll be great!

[imitationsloth]

Possibly~

No one really tried to stop me. [She just beat the ones who did down.]

[monkeystowaway]

I don't know if that's allowed.

...but what kind of candy is there? Any banana flavored?

[imitationsloth]

No one had any real objections.

Ummm. [She reaches over to pull out something banana shaped and colored.] I haven't tried one yet, but I think this one is!

[trigram]

[Holy shit]

Uhhh... Right. Yes.

[She worries about this kid's future]

What were you doing before you stumbled upon this, uh, gold mine of candy?

[Sofia's pretty sure this girl was part of Yang's search party. Given how many they are in this world, the adult was willing to bet Nora's from the same world as Ruby and friends]

video;

[dramaticals]

Have you had enough for it to poison you?

[you know, if it is and she doesn't realize it.]

[Audio]

[short_n_sweet]

[Well, if she's the Witch from Hansel and Gretel, then he's stillllll a living puppet boy.]

Uh, Nora? Yeeeeah, I'd love to come, but I can't. I'm... not hungry. Haven't been hungry all week...

[shining_beacon]

[Yeah, he's more than familiar enough with Nora's normal verbal habits then again, who isn't to recognize when something is off.]

Miss Valkyrie, I highly suggest you reconsider just who you are speaking to before you attempt to lie to me. I will ask you once more, and expect an honest answer. What are you planning?

[combatskirts]

[if weiss was a betting girl, she would say the candy would last for about two days. and that ruby would be getting some cavities after. she looks up at the factory and stops in her tracks momentarily. something didn't feel right.... were they being observed? she glanced around them at the other buildings and frowned. there was an odd feeling coming from nora's factory, and she didn't like it.]

Ruby, we're going to have to be careful. I don't think it's just candy that's hiding here.

[nora wouldn't trick them would she?]

[monkeystowaway]

I think I should be asking what you consider to be a real objection?

Try it and let me know if it is good.

[onecream_fivesugar]

[Ruby on the hand, is completely confused by Weiss' comment.]

Well yeah, Nora's in there too.

...You don't think she got us something else too, do you? That'd be really nice of her.

We'll have to get her something in return.

[Video -> Action]

[leekspins]

I'll be right there. Thank you!

[It doesn't take her long to arrive. She swings in through the window via rope, because being Robin Hood = DRAMATIC ENTRANCES!]

Ha HA! I have arrived!

[Action]

[imitationsloth]

[The entry somewhat startles Nora, and she jumps a few steps back from where she had been standing, reaching for Magnhild. Then she realizes it was someone she was expecting.]

Oh, hi!

Have a look around and take what you like! [But don't turn your back on her...]

[imitationsloth]

[Oh come on, you're taking forever! She's not getting any younger! Nora leans out the window and waves at the two of them.]

Hey! Took you long enough! Take that door there, it leads to one of the candy conveyor areas.

[imitationsloth]

[Probably not, but she doesn't answer that right now. There's a pause before she answers his other 'question'.]

Tastes like artificial banana?

Video

[imitationsloth]

Well, depends. I've had enough to keep me wired for the next few hours, and the sugar crash may not be the most fun. But, not sick!

[She's in charge of the stuff, no poison. Just a trap.]

[imitationsloth]

I was looking for a friend of mine, actually. Decided to check if she was in the Industrial Area... but I haven't seen anything of her just yet.

[imitationsloth]

Candy for visitors, that's all~

[Audio]

[imitationsloth]

... [Oh yeah, this guy.]

I'll bring some back for you anyway? You still may be able to have some!

[trigram]

Are you by yourself?

[Nora probably is, unless her partner was as easily distracted by candy as her, a normal search partner wouldn't let something like this distract them from the search for Yang. But she is hoping this girl won't be alone. Fighter or not. Prepared or not. Their enemies are meticulous that they will find ways to overpower these children and capture them. While going as pairs also increases the number of potential abductees in one swoop, at least there's also higher chance of resisting capture if there's two capable fighters together in one spot...]

[monkeystowaway]

Hm. Maybe I will swing by and grab some.

[Action]

[leekspins]

[Orihime had never been in a candy factory before. It was full of good smells, and she revolved slowly in place, trying to take it all in.]

I don't know where to start... But I did bring a looting bag!

[She holds it up proudly. And another! One for each hand!]

Thank you again! Who was going to kick you out, by the way?

[After a moment of consideration, she decides to go gather up truffles and chocolates first. Everyone likes those.]

[combatskirts]

[weiss looks up at Nora and feigns a smile. she waves just for good measure.]

Hi! We'll be right there!

[onecream_fivesugar]

We're coming, we're coming! [Wont take the time to look up at Nora and just grabs a hold of Weiss' hand when she hears about the candy conveyor area.

This is going to the best day ever.

Best. Day. Ever.

Sorry Weiss, Ruby is literally dragging you into the factory now.]

Come on Weiss! There's candy to be eaten!
