"Hi, Jaune Arc here! ...Except that, I'm actually not here right now. Or maybe I am and I just re-discovered decent comic books but I mean, I'm probably not ignoring you. So leave me a message. Unless you were trying to call someone else. Then you should call them. Smiley face."

I'm positive I have no room to be butthurt.

[Oh, right, her weapon.] It's in the Guardian Skyrise in my office. I kept it there in case Weiss-- in case she decided to do something to her other half and I needed to frame her to protect her. [Looking back now, his logic was convoluted.]

Look. Before you go, we don't have to like eachother. But we've both done terrible things. I've done some horrible things that I can't undo or fix. I wish I could. And you didn't have to do that, especially not after everything. I don't care what your reasons are, I won't forget what you did so can we just...I don't know. I don't want to do this anymore.

[People have the autonomy to make their own choices and anyone who believes in destiny is afraid to accept responsibility. He doesn't state that he thinks she's capable of being a decent person, or that she's less terrible than he thought before, because he doubts that would appeal to her.]

So your plan was to murder me and frame the heiress for it to protect her from herself. [ Just so they're clear. ] You've got guts to actually try to come after me, but you need to attach some brains to it.

[ Either way, Emerald looks like she immediately wants to object to him remembering her being merciful forever, but she doesn't and instead gives him a frustrated look. ]

Give Mercury a chance and never tell him or anyone else I said that and you can remember it all you want. As much as none of you want to believe it, I think he means it. Not becoming a goody two-shoes like you all, but he wants to do better and for whatever reason, he thinks that's his chance to try to push himself and channel his energy. I don't personally care to try myself, but if you could just tell your team that you think he should stay even though he was hired from your boss drinking psycho water, I'll try not to harass your group anymore. Deal?

I didn't say it made sense. You don't need to know the whole story, but yeah. [He scowls a little, but bows his head, looking down at the blanket.] That's fair.

[He glances up at her, biting his lip. He really wants to ask her...]

I don't think Mercury's a completely terrible person. I can't choose for him, but I can give him a chance. There are some people I can't forgive, but I can try with him. Besides--

[Pyrrha seemed to trust Mercury enough to help him. Which still feels like a blow to the chest. He just refuses to act on it now.] Anyway, do you like Mercury?

He's a bad person. The side of him in that video is pretty normal and has been since the day I met him. Like I said, though, when he came to Weiss to ask for the job it wasn't a trick. He's not a monster. I know plenty of those personally for comparison.

[ She makes a face like he just said something that could actually make her throw up. ]

No. I just don't actively hate him.

We're all capable of doing horrible things. It's just-- Why Weiss? There are plenty of other ways he can try to be a better person without working with people who might despise him.

[He either doesn't notice, thanks medication, or more likely he does and decides to make it worse.]

What would you even be called? Precious metals?

It doesn't have to do with Weiss, it's probably just because it's literally a job to legally beat the crap out of people. It's fun for him, and he needs an outlet so it doesn't end up coming out in public murder videos. [ Or at the wrong person. ]

Jaune, there is absolutely nothing between Mercury and I. No one will have sex with him, so he hits on me, and I remind him that no one will touch his dick because he is one. Anything else is in your imagination.

[ Aaaanyway. ] I'm leaving now that I know where my stuff is.

I want to think you're right, but I don't know. [He's still thinking about Weiss.] I guess it doesn't matter. I said I'll give him a chance, and I'll try to talk to the others about it. [If they'll actually want to talk to him after this.]

That's kinda sad if that's true. I heard not having sex makes some people dumber.

[He pauses, looking away.] Yeah. Thanks for not killing me when you had a reason to.

[ She doesn't say thanks, even if she's appreciative. ]

Uhg, that's even grosser than the idea that he wants to have sex with me. Not having sex doesn't make anyone stupid. Being stupid makes people stupid.

[ She shrugs, getting up to head toward the door, then looking up thoughtfully before she actually exits. Hm. She still hates all of them, but somethings' bothering her. She doesn't know if she should just leave it, just let them do whatever they want but at this point, whatever happens to Everglade is her fault. At least if she says something without incriminating herself, it'll be a decent peace offering beyond not killing Jaune. She wasn't sure anyone else would buy not murdering this person in this one instance is much of a grounds for leaving her alone. ] Watch out for Everglade's mayor. Whatever's going on there, they're liars. None of what they said happened with the previous mayor or acting mayor is what actually happened. I don't have any proof besides my word, but don't say I didn't warn you.

He said it was only like that for people who rely on it a lot. But thinking about Mercury and sex is pretty gross.

The mayor... You mean Oz? [He just sounds completely caught off guard and sad, but he shuts down before groaning loudly, hitting his head on the pillow.] Ow-- No, you know what? I am not trusting anyone with the name Oz or any variation again. Nope. Especially if they use a cane. F-- Darn that. Stupid bird faced emo suit lover. I'll keep an eye out on him.

Who said something like that? It sounds like something someone tries to convince people of at a bar so they can guilt someone into laying them. [ That said, Emerald is definitely impossible when it comes to sex. There is no one she would even want to. ] He says it because he thinks it's funny when I'm mad anyway.

The guy who waddles around like.. I don't know, a duck. [ What if they just started calling him The Duck instead of Penguin? ] Okay.

Ed wouldn't do that. [Oops.] Huh. I think it's funny when Weiss is mad of me.

Yeah. Duckman. [They should.] I keep my office unlocked because I always lose my keys. But the ones to the safe should be in my wallet.
