Teamwork makes the Dream Work
Who: Weiss, Jaune and YOU!
What: Just normal team bonding and training that is perfectly restrained and safe.
When: 09/10
Where: Enso, D4
Warnings: It's a violent fight but nothing graphic so no.
[What a nice uneventful day on Ensō’s shore. The waves gently lap against the sand, surrounding the area with a sense of tranquility and security not often seen lately.
Until half of a boulder lands in the water and two figures go flying at opposite sides of the beach from a height that would definitely be harmful.]
[Panting, Jaune stands from the ground and takes a second to compose himself before he launches his shield at the smaller figure with enough force to possibly knock a normal person out, using that window to decrease the distance between him and his opponent.]
Oof! [ The shield collided with the aforementioned opponent, a girl by the name of Weiss Schnee. It was in the blink of an eye that it sent her flying backward, straight into a boulder on the beach with a sickening crack. The source of the tumult was the stone cracking on the small woman, though, rather than the other way around. Small crevices formed in a radial pattern in the rock surrounding Weiss just before she fell down to the sand, but she didn’t stay down for long.
As if it hardly phased her, Weiss jumped onto the back of Jaune’s now face-down shield and let a hand fly behind her to call a glyph to the face of the damaged boulder, using it to launch her forward. It was rather like the ice queen was surfing across the sand’s surface right toward Jaune, jumping off at the last minute into a flip above his head as a misdirect. His shield continued hurtling toward the water, and Weiss used another glyph to stop herself mid-air and redirect herself toward Jaune, Myrtenaster aimed firmly at his shoulder. ]
[With little time to react, Jaune yelped in pain as he was hit by the very sharp and potentially fatal tip of Weiss’s sword, flying back and flipping several times out of control as his face skated on the rough sand. Extending a hand to the ground, he managed to stop himself, glancing over to at the already damaged boulder, and kicked it hard to finish the job. With the pieces now at a reasonable size about as big as his upper half, he started throwing them in the Snow Angel’s direction so he could run and retrieve his shield.]
Here, catch!
[Emitting a relieved sigh, he fished his shield out of the water and started to drag his feet through the wet sand to return to their battle, breaking into a run and sweeping his sword down in the direction of Weiss.]
[ The rocks that flew toward Weiss didn't connect. The first couple of rocks were dodged with rapid flips and half-corkscrew jumps that any gymnast would be impressed with, then another glyph to full-on block the final one from colliding with her. It gave Jaune the time he needed to retrieve his shield, and so did Weiss's next action. A large glyph formed in front of her, one that looked very different from most of her normal ones, and spun rapidly before quickly sputtering out. A wasted movement, even if she had promised to show Jaune her summoning when she had the chance. The moment of panicked surprise from Weiss was a clear opening. ]
[Jaune had seen enough of Weiss’s glyphs to know to be on guard when she began to conjure one. Even more since he didn’t recognize this particular one. A new attack?
Was this how she summoned?
Feet skidding against the sand, he shielded himself in a running stop, prepared for the worst. Unless the disappearing glyph would form into a towering undead-grimm-knight-thing, he was in the clear. Able to react quickly enough to still take advantage, the sharpened side of Crocea Mors struck down in a smooth, practiced movement that was aimed for her torso, and created a shockwave of wind in its wake.]
[Weiss doesn’t have enough time to block, and glyph after glyph should have been fine normally, but she was already feeling like she’d been fighting for an hour. Her reflexes suffered because of it and she didn’t manage to get a glyph up to block Jaune’s sword, instead getting basically smashed into the sand. Her aura protected her from getting her arm cut off as she went to try to protect her torso, but the amount of force behind the hit sent her straight into the sand, creating an impact trail in her wake. She’s practically half buried and coughing as she tries to brush the sand off of her to get up again, though before she makes it off of her knees she immediately gestures for another glyph, one that Jaune likely won’t see because it’s definitely a black one behind him. Rather suddenly, Weiss throws Myrtenaster at him very much like Pyrrha had speared him for her, except with a significant increase in force given the increased gravity from her glyph. She moves to stand up as she does, ready to slide toward him with a row of consecutive glyphs on the ground, but about three in she stops and falls down to her knees, holding up her hand. ]
Time out! [ Her voice sounds breathless, like she’d been fighting for far longer than Jaune had. She wasn’t this out of practice, was she? ]
[OOC note: OTA if you want to have your characters watch the entire fight, or come in when they’re done to react!]

[ Because if she can't do that, then how is she supposed to do the harder things? How is she supposed to protect people from herself when it comes out on accident instead of when she can control it? She raises her sword to try one more time, but the glyph doesn't even form this time, instead Weiss just stares at the sand in front of her. ]

Maybe... [He starts carefully.] Before you tried, you used that first glyph. So maybe that's why. We could go to the green water and try again later.
no subject
[ She assumes he won't take offense at that. It's not that it was a bad fight, and Weiss's stamina has never been excellent, but she's never been that bad. ]

[ 6-8 months of not doing anything because she was hurt and scared and angry is enough to make her doubt herself. 6-8 months of doing that with her father around? Hahaha ]
no subject
[He won't outright say she's being too hard on herself, but he definitely thinks she's being too hard on herself.]
no subject
[ She'd be a lot less hard on herself if she knew that it was the crap island's fault. ]

When we were traveling to Mistral, we ran into this creepy guy named Tyrian who tried to kidnap Ruby. He was stronger than us--any of us put together--and obviously more experienced, but that didn't stop Ren, Nora or Ruby from trying to stop him. He managed to take us out, and was about to hurt Ruby, I saw her aura break and everything and I didn't do anything about it. If it hadn't been for Qrow, things would be very different right now. Maybe you were the only one stopping you, and I think that you're not making excuses about it shows how strong you really are. But if you hold onto that indefinitely and keep blaming yourself, you're only holding yourself back. [Says the world's biggest hypocrite.] It's in the past, Weiss. We're here now.

It's been five minutes since I realized I can't seem to summon, I'm allowed to be upset with myself. Five minutes is not three-quarters of a year.
no subject
[He shrugs, stepping away and starts stretching. If Weiss wants to be upset she'll be upset. If she wants to talk about it, she will. He's been proven a multitude of times that he's really not good at encouraging people, so he's learned to not push it.]
no subject
After a few more minutes of silence, she pipes up with. ]
Thanks, Jaune.
no subject
Any...time? [He's not sure what he did for Weiss to thank him now, but if he helped or at least didn't screw up as badly as he thought, he would take it.]
