Blake: *Walks Into Movie Theatre, Only To See Jaune Sitting By Himself* Wait, Jaune? Weren't You On A

Blake: *Walks into movie theatre, only to see Jaune sitting by himself* Wait, Jaune? Weren't you on a date?

Nora: *Head pops up from Jaune’s lap* He is.

Blake: Oh... Oh, I see. Wait, Nora, aren't you dating Ren?

Ren: *Head also pops up from lap* She is.

Blake: Ah, I see.

Blake: ... Wait.

James doesn't know that they're retiring from the anime yet

Jaune: Guys! I thought up an awesome prank on Ironwood. I’m gonna put ink on his podium where he places his hands.

Ren: I don’t think he’ll fall for that.

Nora: I did. *Raises ink-stained hands*

Jaune: How? I didn’t even open the case yet.

Nora: *Shrugs* Something unrelated I guess.

Blake: Ironwood hates pranks though. This is gonna backfire.

Jaune: Fine, I’ll tone it down. I’ll… move his podium a foot to the left.

Weiss: What?! He’ll be so angry.

Jaune: Okay, 5 inches.

Weiss: 5?!

Jaune: 3?

Weiss: 3?!

Jaune: 1?

Weiss: 1?!

Jaune: Alright, I’ll move it half an inch.

Weiss: Fine, your funeral.

Jaune: Oh my god. *Scoots podium half an inch before heading to his seat* Worst prank ever. This is so stupid, Ironwood’s not even going to notice.

Ironwood: *Enters room to the podium* Good morning. *Stops and stares at podium* E-Everyone thi... The podium it's...

Everyone: 🤨

Ironwood: *Chuckles* ... hehehe... HaHaHa! HAHAHA!! You're crazy! How'd you pull this off?!

Jaune: Alright, I can stay, but only for a little bit. The last time I didn't show for movie night was a disaster.

(1 Month Ago)

Nora: All right, movie night. I am so psyched for Reindeer Games!

Ren: What? I thought we were watching La Vie En Rose.

Nora: What do you mean, Reindeer Games is great! Everything goes wrong, on the one day it has to go right.

Ren: But La Vie En Rose is a beautiful movie about the real life tragedy of Edith Piaf.

Nora : ... Usually Jaune would help break the tie.

Ren: Well, Jaune isn't here, is he!? Because you were supposed to be watching him, but you were smoking marijuana and he drowned!

Nora: What!? No, he’s just held up in a meeting. Where the hell did you get that story?

Ren: I don't know! I just can't stand it when he's not here! 😩

Jaune: Sorry Summer. Maybe there's another way to get a message across?

Summer: ... !

Ruby: *Sigh* Come on guys let's clean this... Wait a sec. The pieces spell something...

Ren: I...

Yang: ❤️

Ruby: U?

Jaune: You think it means...

_RLY: I love you...

Ren: *Smiles*

Yang: *Chuckles sadly*

Ruby: *About to cry, but stops before she is seen*

Jaune: (Thoughts) Nice one Sum-

Nora: *Starts bawling her eyes out* Mommy! You loved me after all! 😭

Jaune: … Close enough. *Holds his weeping friend close*

Ghosts Of Summer 28: Luigi Board

Jaune: What are we going to do today guys?

Yang: We could go down to Vale.

Ruby: I do need to pick up some parts and ammo.

Yang: I meant to a club or something.

ARL_: No.

Yang: Whatever.

Ren: We do need to complete that assignment for Prof. Port's class.

AR_Y: No.

Ren: I tried.

Jaune: Why don't we-

Nora: *Bursts through the door* What you doing?

Ren: Discussing what we're going to do today.

Nora: Let's talk to ghosts!

Summer: !!!

Jaune: *Nervous* T-talk to ghosts? Don't be ridiculous, you can't do that.

Nora: Yeah you can! With this luigi board!

Ren: You mean a ouija board?

Nora: Nah, I'm pretty sure it's name is Luigi and I ask you to respect his name prefrences.

Ren: ...

Ruby: What's a luigi board?

Yang: You remember that horror movie we watched together last year on your birthday?

Ruby: No.

Yang: Well you did run off five minutes in so that makes sense.

Ruby: I-I didn't run off. I just... had to... do some maintenance...

Yang: Right.

Ren: It's supposed to let you communicate with spirits, but it's really just a board and a shiny rock. In order to really communicate with the spirits you must-

Nora: Yeah yeah yeah, do you guys want to talk to ghosts or what?

Ruby: Sure.

Yang: It's not like we have anything better to do.

Ren: We do, but you aren't going to stop until we do, so alright.

Jaune: Okay, I guess.

Jaune: *Whispering* Do you think that will actually work?

Summer: I have no idea. Might as well try I guess.

***One Luigi setup later***

Nora: Now you just put your hands here and the ghost will use this stone to spell out a message.

Summer: Huh, I actually can move it a little.

Yang: I think it's doing something.

Ruby: It's moving!

Nora: What's it spelling out!?

Ruby: Y

Yang: O

Nora: U

Ruby: R

Yang: M

Nora: O

Ruby: M

Jaune: Your mom?

_RLY+N: MOM!!!???

_RLY: ...

Ruby: Wait, you mom's...

Ren: Deceased, yes.

Ruby: Ms. Ghost, could you be a bit more spe-

Nora: *Smashes the table and destroys the board* THAT'S FOR ABANDONING ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING A GRIMM ATTACK YOU BITCH!!!

Jaune: *Sighs* So close.

Jaune: Alright my turn. *Draws card*

Ren: 😑

Jaune: I play a farmland card. I tap it for 1 mana, so I can play Dairy Cow. Because Dairy Cow is a grazing type, and I have Greenest Grass in play, I get 5 milk counters on her, which attracts Raging Bull from my hand. Raging Bull has 10 attack, but I can sell the 5 milk counters to the grocery store, that I have on my side of the field, for 15 dairy dollars. I then convert 15 dairy dollar to 30 mana, and that lets me play Big Gun. I give my Raging Bull a Big Gun and now it has 20 attack.

Ren: ... Ok. So you win-

Jaune: Now you might say "Hold on a second. You have Toll Gate cards on your side of the field."

Ren: I didn't say anything.

Jaune: And with Toll Gate cards, how can my Dairy Driver possibly afford to bring the milk counters to the grocery store? How, you ask!?

Ren: You're just saying things now.

Jaune: Because I have a Good Work Ethic card in my hand. I play it and Dairy Driver gets a raise, which means he can afford all the Toll Gates.

Ren: ... Ok-

Jaune: With the extra dairy dollars my Dairy Driver has, I invest in and play a Cheese Factory. The Cheese Factory creates 1 cheese per turn, so I search the top 5 cards of my deck and… *Draws card* Here we go... The Black Brie.

Ren: I don't think that card's even legal anymore.

Jaune: Black Brie gets served and I receive 3 colorless cheese chakra. With 3 colorless cheese chakra, I can tap my Cheese Factory 3 more times and now I've done a tap somersault. With a somersaulting Cheese Factory I can create triple the cheese output, and get 9 cheese chakra!

Ren: I'm gonna... go get lunch. You want anything?

Jaune: No, I'm good.

Ren: I'll be back in like 30 minutes.

Jaune: Good, that's how long I'll need to set up... The Cheese Tasting Phase.

Ren: Oh my God.
