[ The video recorded on the network appears to be from the angle of the podium that Weiss is standing at, though it's obvious that it's taking place in an official space. Just as likely, any character would be able to see the same scene on television as a press conference called by Weiss Schnee. What's stranger is that she doesn't seem quite as confident or self-assured as she might normally. This isn't good news. ]
Nova City has become a home to me. Which is what makes this incredibly difficult. The type of person I decided I wanted to be was the type of person who protects others- someone who fights to make things right, and be a better person than people expect of me. Being Nova City's Guardian has let me be that person, but it takes a toll. Everyone has a point at which their bias and self-interest conflicts with being able to do the right thing. I've recently begun to see where that point lies for me. Before I reach it, I'm going to do the right thing one last time for Nova City.
[ Weiss takes a deep breath, her fingers gripping slightly before she releases both them and the breath. ]
Today is my last day as City Guardian. In my place until the next election, Deputies Garrus Vakarian and Mercury Black will be acting as co-Guardians to lead the Nova City Guardian team. They have very different styles so it may be an.. interesting transition, but I think the contrast and balance will ultimately help to keep Nova City a fair and safe place.
[ She's so aware that it's going to be a controversial decision. Mercury is rash, with little leadership experience, but he got things done and he was decisive. He wouldn't play around with unnecessary ventures, and Weiss honestly felt that if he was going to continue down the path he was on, he needed to be motivated to do that. She'd give him the responsibilities and hoped he picked up on it, using his already skillfully trained abilities to support it. Garrus was far more justice-oriented and enthusiastic about the job, and much more intelligent, but he also acted too quickly and ended up on wild goose chases or involved in ridiculous drama somehow. The biggest worry she had about the team-up would be whether they would go too far in the name of justice, but she was hoping the remaining deputies would keep them in check in that aspect. Her other deputies may have been more qualified individually, but they were less likely to be followed by the rest of the team or more likely to be influenced by outside parties. It was the only combination that worked. They elected her, hopefully they trusted her deputies to uphold her standards in her stead. ]
Thank you.
[ And the transmission ends. ]

Thank you.

Are you alright, Weiss? [Seems like a logical question to ask.]
[Video]
I'm not.
[Video]
Do you wanna eat junk food and watch movies together? [That usually makes her feel better.] Or work out like crazy then eat loads of junk food after?
[Either way, it'll involve junk food.]
[Video]
[ There's a level of appreciation she has for Nora right now that she's not even sure how to voice. She's not pressuring her to tell her about what's going on, she's just being there for her. She even visibly perks up a little bit when it's clear that Nora isn't going to harangue her. ]
[Video]
[Nora's pretty sure that with Weiss stepping down from being like the best guardian ever, people would question her motives. Well, Nora doesn't care about the why, because it's already done. Now it's about...just being herself. Weiss can tell her something or nothing, but she just needs a friend right now.
Especially if she's agreeing to junk food so easily.]
[Video]
[ Look, Weiss likes cake. And coffee. You put them together in one and they are her special 'feel better Weiss' treat. Klein makes the best and it can't be beat, but he's not here so. ]
You know where I live, right? I have a workout room of.. sorts.
[Video]
[Nora reaches behind her and pulls out a taser!]
Uh...did you move again? [She doesn't even bother with writing down her addresses anymore!]
[Video]
[ Save that for the workout, Nora.. Goodness! ]
I moved into Sun's place. Whitley's still in the other house.
[Video]
[She'll have plenty of energy for their workout after scouring the city for this opera cake.]
I dunno where he lives. Just send me the address and I'll meet you there! [She starts to bring the taser to her chest, but remembers she's holding the device, so she puts it down. Someone's learned not to hold it while tasing herself. After setting up the device to still record her, Nora jabs herself with the taser, the electric current running all over her body. The weapon eventually gives out as the energy gets sucked out of it. Nora, however, is grinning gleefully before waving, grabbing the device, and zipping out the door. It's basically a blur of scenery, as if someone pressed fast forward four times on a dvd player. Eventually the video ends.]
Re: [Video]
[ She says it jokingly at least. Of course Nora would run around the whole town instead of calling ahead. She wouldn't be Nora if she did things normally. ]
Got it. [ She texts it to her in just a minute. ]
[Video] -> [ACTION!!]
She rings the bell, hoping that she didn't get there too late. Or early.]
[ACTION!!]
Come in.
[ACTION!!]
How do you dust in here?
no subject
[ Like use Dust because she doesn't do that in the house.
Or clean? Because air step can help you get to all kinds of high places. ]
no subject
[Mostly because she's a bit lazy and never dusted.]
no subject
[ There is probably a normal way to do this. But Weiss grew up with a butler and hasn't figured it out yet. ]
no subject
[...as if she's the one to talk!]
no subject
[ Eternally volume 1 Vale is just A+ for Dust OK. Bless that subarchway being opened so early. ]
