RWBY: Corrupted Save File

Part #14. Libraries and Games.

Saffron grabbed a book from the nearest shelf without looking before he opened it up. He wasn't expecting to find anything interesting, but he actually found a book about woodworking. Now, this may not interest some people, but for Saffron, whose survival basically depended on him improvising, this was an absolute goldmine.

He read quickly through the first two pages before he realized he was being rude and returned to the conversation.

Jaune: "Hey! Can I play?" He asked.

Ruby: "Sorry, Jaune, we've already got four people." She said.

Saffron: "And that's precisely why she invited me." He told him.

Jaune: "...To replace one of them?" He asked.

Saffron: "Nope!" He replied.

Weiss: "Besides, this game requires a certain level of tactical cunning that I seriously doubt you possess." She stated.

Saffron: "This coming from the one who decided to argue with her leader in the middle of combat?" He asked.

Yang: "You also attacked your own navel fleet two turns ago." She pointed out.

Weiss: "Hmph!" She made an irritated noise.

Jaune: "Bring it on, ice queen! I'll have you know that I've been told that I'm a natural, born leader!" He gloated.

Weiss: "By who, your mother?" She asked.

Jaune: "And Pyrrha!" He stated.

Pyrrha: "Hello again!" She waved from the neighbouring table.

Saffron: "I also think he's doing well." He said.

Jaune: "Come on, let me play your hand for a turn." He pleaded with Weiss.

Weiss: "I'm not trusting you with the good citizens of Vacuo!" She stated.

Jaune: "Why not? You've trusted me with way more important stuff before. I mean, you told us all that Blake is secretly a Fau--" He was cut off by Pyrrha, who zipped over and covered Jaune's mouth.

Pyrrha: "--Fun-loving person whom we all admire and respect!" She tried covering up for Jaune.

Saffron: "...Wow... what a snitch." He stared directly at Weiss as he said that.

Jaune: "Right... that." He said while Blake glared at them.

Jaune: "Ladies... enjoy your battle." He told them before bowing.

Saffron looked back down at the woodworking book before his reading time was interrupted.

Sun: "'Sup losers." He said while holding up a peace sign.

Saffron: "Your losing streak. You hypocrite." He replied.

Ruby: "Hey, Sun." He greeted him.

Sun: "Ruby, Yang, Blake, ice queen." He said to them.

Weiss: "Why does everyone keep calling me that?" She asked.

Saffron: "Reasons." He explained unhelpfully.

Sun: "I never got a chance to formally introduce you to my old friend." He said, gesturing to a teenage male standing beside him.

He had blue hair with a fade of each side of his head, he wore goggles on his forehead and wore a red jacket over a white dress shirt and a black tie. He also wore some dark blue jeans. The name floating above his head, was Neptune.

Neptune: "Um... Aren't libraries for reading?" He asked.

Ren: "Thank you!" He threw his hands up in the air, disturbing the sleeping Nora.
