Vignettes Pt 1

Jaune just drank some whiskey.

"I told you, I'm going to do my job," said Jaune.

"What is his job?" asked Nora.

Jaune stood before the SDC main office.

"Now he's at the SDC? This universe is all over the place," said Coco.

"It's more like a movie trailer," said Mercury.

"Come on, work," groaned Arnold as he tapped the VHS a little harder.

"I'm a reporter," Jaune's voice said, "I follow people who do not want to be followed."

"So, he's a journalist?" asked Blake.

"That's not going to go well with my father," said Weiss.

Jaune was walking alongside Jacques Schnee, with his cameraman, and his producer catching the interview.

"What about the allegations that you 'recruit' the most vulnerable for tests that end up killing people?" Jaune asked.

As his cameraman and producer gasped, Jacques made a "cut" motion with his hands, and two large security guards got Jaune by the arms and dragged him away.

"You've got to go," said one.

"You're finished, Mr. Arc," said the other, as a third got the cameraman's footage.

"Is that a threat?" asked Jaune challengingly.

"Quite right, Weiss. He's one of the more combative reporters that father detests," said Winter.

"If he's done nothing wrong, he's got nothing to hide," growled Ilia.

"There are better ways to get to the truth than just throwing around an inflammatory allegation," scoffed Weiss.

Jaune walked through the streets, hands in his jacket pocket. He looked about and noticed he was being followed, and turned into a Mistrali market.

"You have to learn to hide in plain sight," said Jaune's voice, "I'm pretty good at it, but you?"

"Now Jaune's the one with the off screen voice?" asked Ren.

Arnold looked behind the VHS and fiddled with some of the wires that led to the screen.

Jaune looked to a dark-skin girl in a blue beret, and blue winter coat, and a white scarf.

"You suck, whoever you are" said Jaune as the girl in blue looked up at him.

"Miss Soleil?" questioned Ironwood.

"Partner Ciel!" cheered Penny.

The girl approached him.

"I work at the SDC," said the girl, "And I need your help."

The same tube from before was shown, and its contents coiled about excitedly under light.
