11th Aura | Video
[The video opens to Jaune trying to fix the camera, before finally settling his device and the picture down. Wearing his jeans and hoodie, he's sitting crosslegged on his bed which he takes a lot of pride in. Oh, and there's a hole in his wall that looks like something around seven or so feet was violently knocked through it but pay no attention to that.
Jaune takes a sip from what looks like an energy drink before he starts talking. He sounds a bit stilted and awkward, as if he didn't plan any of this.]
In case you don't know me, I'm Jaune Arc. I work for the Nova City Branch of Schnee Company, led by Weiss Schnee her snowiness herself. But today, I'm here to promote a very important non-profit side company called Genessia Scientific Research Foundation, or GSRF for short. If you went to the party, which you should have. [He points at the camera, then takes a sip of his drink which is precariously balanced on his comforter.] Then you probably know a little about it. But if you didn't, then stop watching this video and go to GSRF. Right now. I'm serious, stop watching. We have a lot of great things we offer but we can't do this for free. By donating, you get to attend the best parties. There's lots of neat sh-- things going on there. We have some of the most dedicated scientists working there, and they're really smart and stuff. At least I think they are. Don't you have to go to school for a long time to play with needles and other instruments? So yeah, if you're interested in science, or want to find out more about this place and donate your time, we could always use more interested people.
What else can I say about it-- Uhhh. Oh yeah, I got this useful pamphlet! [He picks up a GSRF informative pamphlet which he never bothered to read, carelessly showing it off and holding it like it's more than a piece of paper.] You can get one of these for free and you could read it to learn more. You could read it with your friends...you could even frame it and have a poster. Or write your grocery list on it. It's incredibly versatile! GSRF pamphlets, offered for free at GSRF. But we offer lots of cooler stuff for people who donate. Like a free tote! Weiss do we get free totes? [He looks over his shoulder.] Oh. She's not around. Anyway, you have the word of Jaune Arc you'll get this super cool free tote that you can use for...anything if you donate 50 redbills to the GSRF Foundation. You could put your drinks in it, or your car keys...you could even just carry it around. Just in case you find a stray cat and want to take it home.
Don't be mean to stray cats.
Go check it out yourselves because like science people always say, learning's an opportunity. This carefully thought out advertisement promoting GSRF was not funded by any company and done voluntarily by myself without being assigned or rewarded for doing it.

Re: action;
[ She sighs. ] I told you already. When people die or disappear, that's not it. Based on my conversation, she doesn't remember before, so don't bring it up. It just makes people uncomfortable when you do.
Re: action;
I wasn't going to. Anyway, that's what I needed to tell you. And your Christmas present, but I'm not sure if now is a good time.
Re: action;
She is. And it's as good a time as any. I need to go get yours, too.
action;
Okay. Let's go. Are you okay with going for a walk?
action;
[ She looks surprised. ]
Let me grab Myrtenaster.
action;
action;
Jokingly, she knocks on the hole in the wall instead of the door this time. ]
Ready.
action;
[He jokes back, managing to brighten a little while she left. He's armed himself with his Dust infused gauntlet and pockets something.]
All right, time for another adventure for Team White Knight. [He starts walking out.]
action;
That name is going to be redundant when I can summon my knight completely. Considering it's going to be white, like the Beowulf from the other night. I think you'll be rather impressed, though.
[ She knows Jaune has no idea what any part of it looks like or of the size. He knows the background of it at least now, but.. he wasn't even there for the arm, so she's just going to have to talk about it because the world knows she can't draw. ]
action;
[At least his dignity can always fight by her side now. Once he gets outside, he looks at his device for a second.] Right, it's down this way.
Re: action;
[ It's OK Jaune. She keeps following him, looking a little confused. Usually something that requires changing location for is, well.. big. What are they going to see? ] I'm right behind you.
action;
[He looks a little disheartened. But he seems to cheer up, turning around to walk backwards while he talks to Weiss.] I can see that. So other than my less than professional advertisement and...everything else, how has your day been?
Re: action;
[ she'll watch his back and earn him if he's about to run into anything. ] Not terribly. I think I'm going to make cookies for Nora as an apology.
action;
Nora's kind of even more terrifying when she has too much sugar. But I think it'd make her happy to just have cookies, even if I don't think she blames you as much as you blame yourself. [He trips but catches himself.]
action;
[ Weiss makes a gesture to go a little too the left a second later to try to prevent him from having an accident. ]
Well what do you suggest to try to allieve said guilt?
Re: action;
[he jumps...to the left and hits a sign.]
Ow. I don't know. If giving her cookies helps, you should do that. Does it help?
Re: action;
[ wow. ] That was a signal for a small step not a leap into a different obstacle. [ she shakes her head ] Not really.
action;
The concept is mostly the same. [He stares at her thoughtfully and seems to realize something.] You need to train.
Re: action;
[ She rolls her eyes as if to say they're definitely not or else he wouldn't have hit the sign. ]
I'm working on it. It isn't like I can practice in the middle of the park, though. Not when I've clearly got issues with control. The house is far too small to practice inside even if I had control, I'd need a room at least as big as my bedroom back home with no furniture in it to have reasonable space. But once I can get the hang of this.. Winter's are so tame she can pet them. It's amazing.
action;
You could practice on me. If you wanted. I'm tired of being pushed away because people think they should protect me. So not only will you have Pokemon and pets, you'll also have a bunch of Grimm kind of like Pokemon. I'm starting to see a theme here.
Re: action;
Sure, as long as you promise to tell me to stop if it gets too hard. I halved one of the mechs that was attacking Velvet with just the arm in one hit. We'll just have to find a place to do it that no one else is at risk of getting hurt. [ whatever jaune she likes friends ] I just... like that I can fight alongside others instead of alone.
action;
I promise. I think it's a pretty cool semblance. Once you master it, not only will you be a better fighter, they'll be like your friends. [Despite his back being turned, he seems to realize they've reached a corner and stops.] Before we go any further, can you please close your eyes and trust me? I won't let you fall. I promise.
Re: action;
action;
There are a row of storage spaces that line the street.]
Watch your step. You're going to come to a slight drop just a few inches down, and...here.
[He stops in front of one of them, sliding something cool and metal into her hand. It's a key to the storage shed in front of them.]
You can open your eyes now.
[Jaune steps to the side, averting his eyes anxiously for a second.]
Go ahead.
[He'll look at her once she opens the door. Whenever she chooses to, she'll find an antique piano and bench. It looks like the piano has been repaired extensively for the past few months.]
action;
What she sees honestly takes her breath away. It takes her a moment to even move once she sees the piano. It looked really nice.. it was clearly refurbished, but it was done well from the looks of it. Her steps from there took on a sense of reverence, her hand slowly reaching out to touch the keys- to feel and hear the sound from them. It was just a few notes, a single scale.
Before she turned around, she quickly jerked her hands up to her eyes to wipe away the tears that had formed in the corner of her eyes. That sense that Jaune was the one who was too good for her, for all of his flaws, was back- but this time in a much more positive way. So much work had to have gone into this, and that it was in a storage shed and not delivered.. had he done this himself? Just to get as close as he could to giving her a piece of herself back that she'd long since felt she'd lost with her singing voice.
Weiss didn't cry a lot. Not unless things got really, truly terrible. Her hands both went over her mouth after she'd dabbed the tears away, but a second later her heart felt like it was about to explode. She almost couldn't believe it. And he still gave this to her, after she'd basically said that she couldn't be with him. For every way she'd ever treated him, he always still put her first. This wasn't a good gift because it was expensive or exquisite, it was good because of everything Jaune was.
When she finally turned around and put her hands down, she smiled at him in such an earnest way it's a miracle she even remembered how to do so, her eyes still glistening with the tears she tried to rid herself of only moments ago. ]
I can't believe you. Thank you, Jaune.
