Fun idea: Cardin, Jaune, Ren, Sage, Flynt, and Sun are playing a Great War themed game and debate who the best general of the war was. Cardin goes with the Patton-expy, Flynt goes with the Rommel or Zhukov expy... It's a big argument... But they all agree that the Warrior King of Vale was the WORST. They badmouth his terrible strategic decisions and how he was finally pushed back from making any more military decisions by his generals, government, and wife so they wouldn't lose the damn war. Ozpin stops by, listens... And is a bit annoyed by them all dunking on his previous persona.



Jaune's choice is the Eisenhower expy as he had to manage all these lunatics to win the war, but he also agrees the Warrior King of Vale was completely awful.)



Jaune: "I mean he was good at the diplomacy and morale sides but military decisions? Geez... I think a drunken hobo clown would have made better choices."



Cardin: "A newbie on Battle Lightning would be a better general than that guy!"



Guys: "Ahahahahahaha!"



Sun: "Wouldn't have given away as many secrets!"



Guys: "Hahahahahahaha!"



Ozpin: "At least he was capable in battle and willing to lead from the front!"



every head turns towards him

Arturia sighed, long and suffering. "Jaune. What are you wearing?"

Jaune yanked the sunglasses off, face flaming crimson. "Nana, I—this was—I thought if I acted like a total tool, she'd hate me and we could all go home! I didn't know it was Pyrrha!"

Hey, don't look at him, Mama-toria, this is entirely your own fault.

Seriously, arranged marriage interviews? Doesn't that kinda spit in the face of free will - ya know, that eensy lil' thing that your entire planet fought a war over within your lifetime?

Ozpin: "At least he was capable in battle and willing to lead from the front!"

Warrior prowess doesn't necessarily translate to command competence.

Just look at Name-A-Canon-Event.

Cue Jaune going on a long rant about how that's not a good thing.
Jaune: "The job of a king isn't to lead from the front or to be good at fighting, it's to lead the country. In every battle the King fought extra men had to be sent to ensure he wasn't captured or killed. The average soldier might have had better morale knowing their King was willing to risk themselves, but that's far outweighed by the downsides. The King couldn't be ordered by any of his generals, had less information than those generals, and was a priority target. Considering his skill at diplomacy he would have done better if he had instead spent his time visiting all the neutral parties and battle worn troops to make them believe."
Ozpin, stumbles over his words and leaves.

So he was basically the Remnant King Richard the 1st.

Whiter Rose: The Geist

- - -

Whitley Schnee had never expected to become a summoner, let alone one who used a Geist for household chores.

It had started as a simple training exercise with his Semblance — nothing too dangerous, just enough to prove he could defend himself out near an SDC outpost. Fully backed up by his father's security forces and Fafnir's watchful gaze. He'd managed to kill a lone Geist that had wandered too close.

The victory had been small, but satisfying.

What he hadn't expected was the Geist's essence bonding to his Glyphs.

Now the spectral Grimm hovered behind him like a loyal (if unsettling) shadow, ready to possess and repair any broken device he pointed at. It was surprisingly useful.

Ruby found out about it during one of their quiet afternoons together in the Schnee manor's private workshop.

"So… you just have your little buddy do stuff?" Ruby asked, eyes wide as she watched the Geist phase into a malfunctioning Dust heater and fix it from the inside.

Whitley adjusted his safety glasses, looking a touch embarrassed. "Yes. He-It-Can possess electronic devices, which helps me troubleshoot them. It's quite efficient."

Ruby's gaze slowly drifted to Crescent Rose, currently resting on the workbench with a few finicky internal components that had been giving her trouble.

"You… you think you could get into Crescent Rose?"

Whitley blinked. "Ah… Are you sure?"

Ruby nodded, cheeks slightly pink. "Y-yes… But be gentle?"

Whitley gave her a small, reassuring smile. "Of course. I'll be careful."

Later than afternoon, Yang stormed into the workshop, her eyes blazing red. She turned her fearsome glare on Whitley, who had been doing some adjustments on a power convertor.

"WHAT THE HELL AM I HEARING ABOUT YOU VIOLATING RUBY'S FLOWER?!"

Whitley nearly dropped the tool in his hand. "NO! Nonono that's not— that didn't—What?!!"

He cast about desperately as Yang loomed over him.

"RUBY! HELP!"

Ruby entered the workshop with a dreamy, slightly dazed expression. Her cheeks were flushed, and she was gently stroking the scythe's barrel like it was a beloved pet.

"Oh he was so thorough!" she sighed happily. "So skilled! He did things with my Rose I've never even imagined before!"

Whitley's face went from pale to bright crimson in record time. "STOP HELPING, RUBY!"

Yang froze mid-rant, blinking rapidly as her brain caught up with the actual context. The red in her eyes faded as realization dawned.

"…Wait. You mean the Geist thing. The actual ghost-possessing-robot-baby thing."

"Yes!" Whitley exclaimed, gesturing wildly at the now-innocent-looking Geist floating nearby. "It was just maintenance! Internal repairs! Nothing… untoward!"

Ruby tilted her head, still looking blissed out. "But it felt really good when he was inside—"

"RUBY!"

Yang stared at her little sister for a long moment.

Then she burst out laughing so hard she had to lean against the wall for support.

"Oh Breaker. You two are actually going to kill me one day."

Ruby finally seemed to realize what she'd implied and turned an impressive shade of red herself.

"I-I meant the scythe! He fixed the scythe! The internal mechanisms felt… smoother! That's all!"

Yang wiped a tear from her eye, still chuckling. "Sure, Rubes. 'Internal mechanisms.' Totally believable."

She walked over and ruffled Ruby's hair, then gave Whitley a teasing grin.

"You're lucky you're a good guy, Schnee. Otherwise I'd have to break your legs."

Whitley peeked through his fingers. "Noted."

Ruby, still blushing furiously, hugged Crescent Rose to her chest. She gave Whitley a shy, appreciative look.

"…He really did do a good job though."

Whitley smiled softly.

"You're welcome."

Yang smirked. "I'm telling Dad."

"NO!" both Ruby and Whitley shouted at the same time.
