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.

That's disgusting. And I don't struggle.. with it. [ She pauses. ] I mean- It's new, that's all. The first time I did it was to protect Velvet, so it's a new skill, I'm sure I'll figure it out in no time.

[ She shakes her head. ] As long as you agree to never, ever refer to us as Yellow Snow in any capacity ever again, I'll accept White Knight.

It's not just the knight, he's just.. important, to me. That was the fight I had to win to make him agree to let me go to Beacon. [ She pauses. ] Even if I haven't quite mastered it yet, I can summon anything that's fallen by my hand to fight at my side. That knight, Grimm, monsters, people- anything.

Of course I hate yellow snow! It sounds like you want to urinate on me. [ Keep your kinks to yourself if you don't want them shamed Jaune, gosh. ] You can't accept your own suggestion.

It's hard to explain. It's a glyph, but it's basically like summoning the spirit of the fallen. I've just.. always had difficulty with it until the day Beacon fell. I ran to protect Velvet without thinking about anything other than making sure she was safe and that was the first and only time I've managed it in a stable form so far...

[ She's practiced a couple of times, but it comes out either shakily or little tiny. But she's getting it to come out at least! And she thinks that's a huge improvement. ]

That's not what yellow snow means, ever. Take it from someone who's from a kingdom with a lot of snow. Don't go near anything yellow. [ She already said it was disgusting, what part of this conversation would make you think that Jaune!! You're the one trying to name a partnership with a girl you used to like after peed on snow!! She rolls her eyes. ] Either way we agreed on a name.

[ She can't get out of her head. It's a problem. ] I practice every day. Some people here may be content to just let themselves slide, but I'm not. I can use my sword with both hands now, I haven't been slacking for two years just because I haven't quite mastered summoning. Which, by the way, is not common knowledge so if you tell anyone I'll make you sleep on an inner tube in the pool. [ Weiss doesn't like it when people know she can't do stuff. ] The only people who know besides you are like.. Sun, Winter, and Vlad-- which I know sounds weird, but it was before things went south and he was trying to help me. It didn't work, obviously, but I got some insight.

[ Yeah Weiss is drawing a blank on that. Jaune's fighting style and the fact that he's untrained except by Pyrrha playing catch up.. makes her feel somewhat uncomfortable trying to suggest anything dangerous. She has a couple of ideas, but.. well, they'll work it out once she gets to know more. ] What's your semblance?
whiteas: (I've got a suggestion!)

I'm not bad at it I just have trouble with it. [ Don't say she's bad at it goddamn. Pause. ] Actually, Flynt, Ren, and Nora know about it too. They were there when I managed it, we just haven't talked about it. So I mean, you can discuss it with them, just don't mention that it's terrible. [ She shakes her head. ] Not yet. But I know that he summons things differently than I do, with an entirely different mentality. Mine is to protect those who are still alive, his stems from understanding death and the moment before it in which every ounce of a being is reaching out for anything to fight to stay alive.

[ Oh. Hm. ] Well.. that's alright. Truth be told, I'm not really sure how others figured out what theirs was either beyond a textbook understanding. Schnees all have the same semblance. It sounds like you've got an understanding of the basics except for that, though, so I have a couple of ideas for a team attack whether you know yours or not. You have to trust me though because it'll depend largely on you being the physically stronger one and my glyphs. And balance, which you may have to work on or else you'll go toppling sideways the second I start altering gravity. [ She pauses. ] I did think of it because of the knight theme though, if you can manage it, so I think you'll be pleased with it if you want to try it.

I can't really blame them for not wanting to talk about it. [ Weiss didn't really want to talk about it beyond mentioning that it happened. But she had to focus on it a lot, since she knew she wouldn't be able to summon again unless she figured out what it was about that moment that let her do it and learn to control it. ] Well obviously it's painful, they're getting killed. That's not what mine is though. Thankfully.

[ Weiss leans back in her chair. Now that she's got an idea, she wants to try it. What can she say? She's a fan of really cool fighting moves. After a moment of leaning back in her chair, managing to balance it without effort, she manages to read the clock in the other room and lets the chair fall back flat onto the ground with a little 'oof' from the impact. ]

One of my deputies should be back to watch the office in about 20 minutes. I'll work out some sketches for the attack so you have a visual. It'll be my turn to be out on the town soon anyway, so I'm sure we can stop by a park to practice.
whiteas: (You go with your sister.)

Of course it's based on feeling it's.. part of me. That's what a semblance is, it's part of who you are. For better or worse, my family and our legacy is incredibly important to me. Maybe.. that's why you haven't been able to figure out what yours is. If you got here and have been working on the basics, you haven't had time to figure out who you are and who you want to be, so much as just scrambling to find a way not to get yourself killed.

[ Try watching her do it while she's standing and pointing at Blake.

She's not even going to delude him about this. But it's probably going to be an understatement of the year about her lack of talent. ]


I am artist enough to make it comprehensible. I'll see you soon.

We all want to be heroes, Jaune. I may not be an expert on figuring out semblances, but I think you might need to understand a little more than that. I hate to give Professor Oobleck any credit, but when we were on our mission, he asked each of us why we wanted to become a huntress. That question was harder to answer than any of us really thought. It might be good for you to think about too.

[ And with that, she's going to turn off her video and get to work on her lovely piece of art. ]

[ When Jaune gets there, he may immediately notice a drawing on Weiss's desk. The meaning is probably clear enough, even if the artistic ability leaves much to be desired. Probably. ]

Come on in, I'll get my things.

[ Jaune is welcome to check out her office (or the horrible scribbles) while Weiss stocks her pack up with spare dust and some necessities. ]
whiteas: (I'm right as always.)

Wha- That's a Beowolf!

The bottom glyphs are the speed-glide glyphs, the one behind the Beowolf is gravity. It's inspired by medieval lancers since you were talking about knights, hence the name. Instead of a horse, you'd be riding my glyphs, obviously. Which means you need to be able to channel as much of your aura into your sword as possible because the alteration of the gravity should run your sword through just about anything in one hit as long as you can use your aura to keep it from breaking. Beyond that, you need to manage not falling over when you're not the one in control of your movement.

Don't channel all of it. Leave some for defense. If you screw up and end up in the hospital, I'm not paying your medical bills.

[ She's such a great friend. ]

I've paid attention to your fights before. I saw you take down the Ursa in the forest to save Cardin, I've seen you practice all the time, and I've seen your tournament fights. JNPR's teamwork may be a little embarrassing, but it's easy to tell what you're all individually capable of- enough that it's just a matter of thinking how I can enhance that when it comes to team attacks. But I know we can do it, so let's go practice. We can probably start with a tree or a rock or something.

[ They're heading out now. Porcupine Grimm or not, obviously it got the message across. ]
