yes there may be spoilers
ACTION; at the dream docks
[ The first thing Weiss had done when she woke up, after just sitting for a moment, had been to check her phone. Mayu's text was the first thing that she saw about Torchwick, so that was an issue she had to address as soon as she could. A look back at what she'd missed made it clear that he was going after Ruby and Weiss wouldn't let that happen. She needed to go home and see everyone. Now. She needed to make sure that when she walked in, she'd still be able to see the faces of those they'd lost.
Then.. then she'd figure it out. Weiss didn't have the luxury of sitting home crying, not here. She had work to do. She had to find some way to fix this. Aaand she also needed to make sure that the City Guardian's office hadn't gone to shambles because she left it in the hands of her Deputies who had just met that day. She couldn't mourn. She'd have enough time to do that alone, at home, back in Atlas.
Here she just had to find the people she cared about and protect them. If that meant coming down on crime a hundred times harder than normal, then so be it. Weiss too a deep breath, not checking if Sun and Jaune were awake yet, and turned her device to post. ]
VOICE
This is Nova City Guardian Weiss Schnee speaking.
As of this moment, Roman Torchwick is considered a wanted fugitive. I'll offer level 5 payment as a bounty, direct from the City Guardian office. I would encourage other City Guardians to list him as a high-profile criminal as well. Torchwick's list of crimes includes murder, theft, kidnapping, torture, evading the law and that's just from his previous experience in Genessia. Back home he's done much, much worse.
If you do not have experience fighting, do not approach him. Keep in mind that to keep him alive, you'll need to break his aura but not go beyond that except to disable him. I don't care what state you bring him in provided that he's alive and secure. No one's getting paid for killing him because killing him still means he's free. Anyone found aiding, abetting, harboring, or hiding information about Roman Torchwick is considered a criminal and will be dealt with appropriately.
ACTION; Open to Remnant House / Anyone who wants to visit?
[ Once Weiss had left the Dream Docks, she went home to change clothes and check everyone's rooms. Chances were, those who didn't know what was going on would've just been going about their lives normally, maybe at work or off doing whatever errands, but she still just wanted to see if anyone was home. She wanted to see anyone. She wasn't even bothering with privacy, instead just peeking her heads into doors as she knocked. ]

Hello?
[Action]
[He tears his gaze away from her, his nails digging into the leather of his gloves. Something about her denial just...it makes him so angry. Nothing is right anymore, and he's trying to keep it together. Trying to find something to focus on, to blame. And Roman? He would be perfectly justified going after him, after everything he had done here.]
Please.
[Action]
No. I'm not going to lose you too, not after we just got back to some place where they're alive.
[Action]
Then what do we do?
[Action]
For one thing, you're not going to avoid Pyrrha.
[ She's not sure if he was planning on it, but she wouldn't be surprised. Jaune undoubtedly felt helpless, maybe blamed himself. With how desperate he sounded on the phone.. ]
I'm sorry Ruby and I weren't fast enough, Jaune.
[Action]
[Part of him knows Weiss is just trying to help. He wasn't the only person to lose someone, but hearing her say that just brings everything back. His voice catches and it takes all of his willpower to even try to not break down in front of her.]
No. It's not your fault. It's not--
[He was powerless. He's still powerless and he despises it. In a fit of anger, he kicks the chair he had been sitting in, screaming at no one in particular.]
I didn't stop her! I failed. My partner-- [Pyrrha.] all she ever does is help me, she's always been there for me, and I couldn't help her when... AUGGGH!
[His fragile attempt to stay focus finally breaks underneath him and he falls to the floor to sob.]
[Action]
It's none of our faults, Jaune. It's Cinder's. She's the one who did this.
[ She tightens her hand over his slightly, then adds. ]
It's not your fault.
[Action]
She has to die. When we get back, we can't let her hurt anyone else.
[It was all they can do. He holds Weiss' hand in both of his, finally meeting her eyes.]
Please tell me you were safe.
[Action]
I'm sure you'll do just that, Jaune.
[ She nods. ]
My father used the situation as an excuse to force me to return to Atlas. I was the only one of my team who didn't need to be in the hospital by the end of the day, but I don't think I'm going to be much use in finding Cinder. I wish I could.
[Action]
[Action]
[ She doesn't want to be alone. She's worried about her friends, but more than that, being completely alone again is a nightmare to her. ]
[Action]
[He knew Ruby was alone, and a vague idea of what had happened to the others. But now, they needed to be together more than ever. Not separated.]
Me and--we went to Patch because Ruby told us the enemy was in Haven. So we were going to go with her. I know it's a long way, but we'll find a way to get to Atlas, and get to you. Ruby won't stand for anything else.
[Action]
[ She shakes her head. ] Thanks for the thought, but I'll find my own way out. It just.. won't likely be easy.
[Action]
Easy doesn't look like it's going to be an option ever again. [At least not for a while.] I know you will. [He pauses, looking down, taking a shaky breath. The emotion is still there in his voice, but he's trying not to cry again.] I'm glad you made it out of there.
[Action]
[ Because she knows where she stands now. She knows Faunus aren't terrible people, she knows what kind of a person she is and it isn't her father's daughter. She's the kind of person who jumps into a fire dust pit to save a teammate at her own risk, the kind of person who uses her birthright as a Schnee to protect a Faunus because they're just as deserving as anyone else- they're just as good or bad as any human can be. ]
I've got a much better idea of who I want to be now. He can't take that from me.
[ Weiss nods. ] I'm glad you did too.
[Action]
[Action]
I know. But for now I think the important thing is to show that we're still standing, that even if we fall we're going to get back up and they're not going to like it when we do.
[Action]
We will. We have to. We'll make them regret ever trying to begin with, even if they don't realize it now.
[Action]
I think we can both agree on that. Go get your things so we can get going.
[Action]
[He grabs his stuff, hesitating at the entrance as he glances at Weiss.]
We have to go now, I guess.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[ She's pretty sure she knows what the answer is, which is what's making her confident that Jaune will be okay if he leaves here on his own. ]
[Action]
[Action]
[ So he's not going to make her worry, so she's sure. ]
