A. VIDEO; OTA
[ Wherever Weiss is right now, it isn't her usual home or her office. It's not the Skyrise or one of Schnee Company's builings. It's clearly some kind of balcony with a panoramic view of Nova City behind it. She seems like she's a little irritated at something and she's wearing something somewhat more formal than her normal attire, though her hair is still in its normal style. She gives a distinctive, impatient look to someone off-screen of 'well? hop to it' before focusing her attention on the video. ]

Hello everyone. As of today, I'm announcing Mercury Black as Nova City's new deputy. Those of you who have a problem with this can deal with it because frankly, I've done a good job so far and I'm tired of being questioned every single time I do anything when so far it's turned out substantially better than anyone seems to expect of me.

You'll also notice that I've opened a new branch of Schnee Company in Attleton. It's time to stop resting on our laurels.

[ Honestly, nothing seems too off except that Weiss seems to be in a less than ideal mood. She looks off the camera again, a man's voice saying "All you have to do is sign here, Guardian Schnee, and it's yours." ]

It's about time. [ The video clicks off as she mutters that last part, moving away from the balcony. ]

B. TEXT; PRIVATE (to whitley, winter, and sun)
It's about time we go back to living the way we deserve to. If you're willing to offer something up to prove you're not planning on being a leech, I'd be happy to have you.

[ And included is an address in Nova City to her new home. ]

C. ACTION; OTA
[ Well this was... unfortunate. Weiss had just barely woken up and saw what she had thought was herself slamming the door on the way out of the brand new Attleton location. She had no idea what was going on and frankly this wasn't how she wanted to start the day after the ribbon cutting ceremony. She's must've hit her head on something, that would explain how she could possibly see herself walking out of here too.. Uhg. Weiss sighed and went into her pouch to grab some aspirin only to find all of the Dust was gone out of it. Her next thought went to Myrtenaster- also gone.

...Did she get mugged by someone wearing a wig? As far as disguises go, herself against herself had to be the weirdest and most effective. What was she going to do, report herself to Blaze for mugging herself? As importantly, where did her jacket and petticoat go? Did the thief take those too? (What kind of Guardian actually had to deal with this kind of problem?) Even if she wanted to report it, her device was gone. Great.

Weiss frowned at her reflection in the window, then headed to Genessia City to grab one of her old outfits from the old house. It was closer than Nova so she wouldn't have to keep wandering around in the show without frills or a jacket, at least. There's not much left there since she brought most things with her, but her dress from her first Christmas party was and it was clean, so Weiss is going around looking extra snowy as she walks her way back to Nova City. The thief appears to have taken her car too. Feel free to encounter her anywhere on the walk back to Nova, looking rather concerned in general. ]

No, but I almost told Jaune to go hire a therapist because no one who isn't being paid should have to listen to that. "Whining" isn't a strong enough word for it anymore.

[ She plays with the rim of her glass. ]

Ohhhhh. If it's Jaune, then it must be...

[ He leans a little closer, lowering his voice to a hushed sort of whisper. ]

... bitching.

[ She straightens her back a little at that, looking up slightly but not pulling back really. ]

It wouldn't be inaccurate. Though I wouldn't personally use that word. [ Good like getting Weiss to curse, Mercury. Even her lesser side has manners. ]

Oh, right. You're above that, aren't you.

[ A little roll of his eyes as he straightens up again, taking a not-the-entire-glass sip of his wine. ]

Let him say whatever he wants. It's not like he can actually do anything.

I wouldn't say that either, but it's as unnatural to me as I'm sure dressage is to you.

[ Weiss takes another sip as well. ]

I don't know, did you see the bounty he put out on your partner? He's trying to get something done, even if it's a waste of time.

Oh, I did. That totally illegal bounty he placed on someone who is, as of right now, considered wholly innocent by this world's law.

[ He lowers his glass for a moment, looking Weiss hard in the eye. ]

If he tries something serious, I'm going to stop him. Hard. It's my job, you know.

Be my guest. I've told him a hundred times to leave her alone. Don't kill him, but I won't insist on restraint if he's going to blatantly disregard my orders.

[ She doesn't look away. He's been a complete ass to her all day, calling her childish and selfish and desperate and acting like nothing she said or did had any meaning when compared to what he was going through. Empathy nor patience are this Weiss's strong suit. He may have lowered his glass, but Weiss takes another one, slightly longer. ]

[ There's a widening of his grin at that, a twinkle in his eye, as Weiss gives him permission to beat up her friend.

Former friend, maybe. Whatever. He doesn't care about the technicalities. ]

You are really not fooling around. I like this side of you.

Funny, I like this side of me too. Come on.

[ She takes the bottle of wine and starts heading toward the staircase. ]

Since this night is all about getting what we both want, I'll show you something. What's the one place you want to go more than any other?

[ He downs another swig of wine before he follows her, but not immediately behind. It could be that he's trying to get a good view of her from several stairs behind as she ascends.

Could be. ]

Place? Hell if I know, I never really cared about going somewhere in particular.

[ just killing his way out of the one place he DIDN'T want to be. ]

Why?

Because some people show their gratitude much more effectively than others.

[ she's playing with her device once she's in range of the wardrobe. ]

I have a wardrobe that can show you the world.

[ He catches up enough to make it to her side, casting her a doubtful sort of look. It sounds pretty crazy. Pretty dumb, really.

But it's not like crazier shit hasn't happened. ]

So if I wanted to see... let's say, the moon. Can you just go straight to the moon?

[ She almost trips on the top step, catching herself on the banister and giving Mercury a look like she's amused but also shhh you didn't see that. As if to make sure, she drinks the rest of her current glass since it's easier not to spill the bottle than the glass. ]

Something like that. I think it would be this world's moon, no ours though. It's not actually the place, it just uses the same technology as Holodeck'd.

[ He hums, tapping his chin with a little smirk as she finishes her glass. He'll follow her lead, though, emptying his glass with ease. He's used to drinking stuff that burns a lot more. ]

Still, that's probably a view you'd never get to see otherwise, right?

[ Weiss, meanwhile, will have a drink on occasion but it stops after one martini at most. ]

The moon it is.

[ She messes around on her device for a minute then walks him up to a rather plain looking white wardrobe. But when she opens the door, as promised, the view is a rather unique view with Earth in the sky and the rocky moon surface all over.

She heads in first, just holding the door open until he takes it. ]

[ He quirks an eyebrow at the wardrobe - kind of bland, isn't it? - but once the door opens it's probably a good thing he doesn't have anything in his mouth or he might have spit it out. What the fuck.

It takes a second for him to regain himself, stepping forward to take the door from her as he passes the threshold onto. Well. The moon in her closet.

Huh. ]

So... this is happening how, exactly? Where's all this space coming from?

Pocket dimensions. The same thing we locked Cinder up in, though this is a far cry from a prison.

[ besides, she's in here with him, that should tell him he's safe before he jumps to any conclusions. ]

[ Oh, he doesn't feel threatened at all. He's more than confident that if it came down to it right now in this moment, he could kill her. But that doesn't seem like it's going to come into play today, so he'll just take another step in as he keeps looking around. ]

So... you have a pocket dimension in your house.

Nifty.

Three.

[ Weiss really has no intention of trapping him. She's been nothing but honest tonight- this is just a little showing off. He said he wanted something that wasn't boring. ]

There are two rooms connected to the same wardrobe, too. I use one as a closet. I haven't quite decided what to do with the third one yet. [ She pauses for a moment before messing around with the holodeck settings to alter gravity to actual moon gravity. Just before she activates it she takes a drink, carefully birdying out of the bottle. Once it's active, she then pushes off the ground with her feet toward Mercury.

Body disposal?

[ He's kidding!

Maybe.

He seems a little uncertain as gravity gives up - he doesn't leap up right away, but he can feel the change in his weight as the room adjusts to her programming. He does rise up a bit on his toes, just barely enough to gently float up a bit as if to test the feel of it while he watches Weiss make her approach.

... Why is Weiss making an approach? ]

Do you show this to all the boys, or am I special?

[ she just rolls her eyes. It's not funny to her, but she doesn't seem outright offended or disgusted like she normally would be. ]

I'm not answering that question because you're going to make sex jokes about it.

[ if only because the "aww you're my first" joke is so obvious even weiss sees it coming.

The purpose of coming closer is made obvious when she lets go of the bottle in front of him. He is in charge of the wine now. Because Weiss is going to see if she can take flying with a little glyph usage with the zero gravity ]

[ He takes the bottle from midair as she starts to fly away, taking a long drink straight from the source as he watches her. She made a fair point.

Not like he couldn't find other reasons to make sex jokes if he felt like it.

Letting the bottle go to float wherever the fuck it may (Weiss why did you give him this responsibility) he bends his knees for a moment before launching himself up after her, a little thrown at first at how high he rockets up - high even for him, and that's saying something. ]

As if I need to! Don't act like you weren't eyeing me up.

[ It's not like the liquid is going to float away in space, the surface tension will keep it in the bottle without another surface to cling to.

Weiss quirks an eyebrow at him, then reaches for him to pull him nearer. It's very easy without gravity. ]

So? There's nothing wrong with physical attraction.

[ He's starting to get the hang of this. Not just the gravity - he's used his boots to defy gravity as it is, so that's relatively simple - but this New Weiss. Her reaction doesn't surprise him as much as it would have a short while ago, and in fact as she pulls him towards her she'll find a hand snaked around to the small of her back, eyes peering down at her with a curious smirk. ]

Aaaaaand when it comes to acting on physical attraction?

We did toast to getting what we want.

[ The fabric of her dress almost seems like it's floating in water without the gravity, lightly tugged in the direction Mercury's hand brushed. Her face was warm with both alcohol and closeness, but she did reach back to push his hands off of her. ]

But I don't think that works very well in zero gravity.
