4th Aura | Video

[When the video starts Jaune just looks tired. Tired and aggravated, and it's apparent in his voice.]

I can't believe I have to say this, but since there's nothing stopping people who have committed murder here from running for City Guardian, apparently I do. You shouldn't vote for actual murderers like Reiner Braun and Roman Torchwick unless you like the idea of trusting an entire city to someone who either admits they murdered someone and does a bad job of even showing any regret or someone who's questionably claiming they're redeemed after...a few weeks? Even if he does claim he's trying to make up for his mistakes, you don't just suddenly lose all of your bad habits like criminal acts in a short amount of time and try to take on that kind of position without an ulterior motive.

This whole thing is stupid. It's stupid. I'm done talking about it. Just...if you want to know more about the crimes they committed while they were here, I can answer your questions. I doubt I'll convince other murderers unless they want the position for themselves.

Truth or not, it depends on how he plays it off.

[ Weiss is more than aware of this. Her own election was dependent on a lot of that- with Sun going for Satsuki's throat and causing a big fuss, Weiss is fairly certain that the election hadn't buried itself until she tried to 'defend' herself by slinging mud back at Sun, then whoever tried that dumb gossip rag sealed the deal. Weiss may be honestly glad she doesn't have to go through that again, but the more Torchwick's name pops up the closer he is to getting what he wants so long as he doesn't mess it up himself. ]

Plays it off? He can't just play it off. Can he?

[This wasn't just doing something stupid that hurt someone. He couldn't comprehend how anyone would be okay with that. Roman had a way with words, as much as Jaune hated to admit it, but even he couldn't twist this around and make his actions seem justified. That's what he thought before, but now he's starting to doubt himself.]

I'm probably giving him too much credit.

[ She just doesn't like underestimating people anymore. ]

...Yeah probably. No one would want a City Guardian as annoying as him.

They'd have to listen to him talk all the time.

[ She doesn't even have to do that and she can imagine not wanting to. ]

All the time...

[Roman already talks a lot. It's like he has speeches prepared for anything. Jaune's eyes widen.]

We can't let him win.

Agreed. I've heard more of him talking than I want to my entire life and then some.

No one should hear him talk that much. He's really dramatic.

You're dramatic; Torchwick is over-the-top flamboyancy defined.

Excuse you. [Jaune's voice might have gone up in pitch.] If I'm dramatic, Ice Queen, you're...melodramatic!

[Nailed it.]

Do you even know what that word means?

[ Tell that to your guitar. ]

Do you know what that word means? [But now he actually has to think about it. Melo...mellow. Isn't that like calm? So she's not dramatic? Darn-it.]

[Music is beautiful and romantic ok.]

Exaggerated, sensationalized, or overemotional. Melodramatic is like.. Ruby when she plays Remnant: The Game.

You're commenting on how Ruby played Remnant: The Game. Have you seen yourself when you play the game? You make Ruby look calm and reasonable.

I have no idea what's going on when we play that game, it doesn't count.

[ Look. She just. That's not melodramatic it's something we don't talk about here Jaune because otherwise people will think she actually wants to take peoples' children from their very arms shhhh. ]

You get this really unsettling expression that makes me wonder if you have some other plan you can't talk about when we play the game. It's like... [He tries to mimic the expression he remembers, but he just looks like he spilled ice cream and isn't very happy about it.]

I could teach you! It would be kind of fun to watch you beat the others.

[ Let's be real. Every last one of them gets too intense about games. ]

Jaune, no offense but I don't trust your ability to protect the people of Vacuo using paper cards any more than my own.

[Pretty much. Poor Ren and the library. Hand on hip.]

Hey, Weiss, remember how badly you lost at the game?

Yeah, because I listened to Yang.

[ Yang was just tricking her like a horrible horrible cheater person it was just an excuse to look at her cards!!!! 8| ]

That doesn't make you better at it.

That was your first mistake. You should never listen to your enemies in a war.

[he looks way too pleased with himself that he's lecturing Weiss instead of the other way around.]

At least I didn't walk right into a trap.

[ Yeah she doesn't like this. Jaune isn't allowed to talk this way to her. ]

That doesn't make it any less dumb a game.

[this is probably a bad idea. like a lot of his life decisions.]

If it's dumb, why'd you have such a hard time?

Because I'm not dumb.

[ Duh. ]

Neither is Blake.

[Then again, she quit. He might have just unintentionally called Ruby, Yang and himself dumb.]

Uh huh, and look how that turned out.

[ he definitely did and that's how Weiss is interpreting it.

granted it was for entirely different reasons but jaune doesn't know that]
