"[Falling thud]" "[Laughter from Emerald] Sorry..." "I'm not really from around here." "Um..." "Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?" "Mh-hmm." "I knew you were lost." "Mercury." "I will seriously pay you to shut up." "That's not your money." "But it could be yours for five minutes of silence." "Hmmmm..." "No deal." "Hngh." "Fine." "Whatever." "You want me. [Laughter]" "So how much farther?" "A few blocks." "Uhhhh (groaning)..." "This place is so dull." "Nuh..." "I kinda like it." "Tall buildings." "Diverse culture." "And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket." "That's every city." "Master Thief!" "Please don't take my money!" "I barely have enough to get by..." "Hngh." "[Mercury sighs]" "You're no fun today." "[Door chime rings]" "[Bell rings]" "(Muffled voice):" "Be right there!" "Welcome to Tukson's Book Trade!" "Home to every book under the sun." "How may uh... (breath hitches)" "How may I help you?" "Just browsin'." "I was wondering..." "Do you have any copies of "The Thief and the Butcher"?" "we do." "That's... great!" "Would you..." "like a copy?" "No." "Just wondering." "oh!" "What about..." "Violet's Garden" in paperback?" "too." "Oooh..." "Eh... no pictures." "Hey!" "Do you have any comics?" "Near the front." "wait!" "What about...." "Third Crusade"?" "Um..." "I don't believe we carry that one." "Oh." "What was this place called again?" "Tukson's Book Trade." "And..." "You're Tukson?" "That's right." "who came up with the catchphrase?" "Yes." "And... what was it again?" "[Tukson sighs]" "Tukson's Book Trade." "Home to every book under the sun." "Except... the "Third Crusade"." "It's just a catchphrase." "It's false advertising!" "You shouldn't make a promise you can't keep..." "Tukson." "I hear... you're planning on leaving." "Moving all the way to Vacuo." "Your brothers in the White Fang wouldn't be happy to hear that." "And neither are we." "You know who we are... don't you?" "Yes." "And... you know why we're here?" "Yes." "So." "Are you going to fight back?" "YES!" "What's with that?" "Eh..." "I like the pictures." "What'cha doin'?" "Nothing." "Just going over notes from last semester." "Blem!" "[Ruby clears her throat]" "Sisters!" "Friends!" "Weiss." "Weiss:" "Hey! I had a dream." "This ought to be good. as a team and have the most fun anyone has ever had!" "EVER!" "Did you steal my binder?" "I am not a crook." "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about kicking off the semester with a bang!" "I always kick my semesters off with a Yang." "Eh..." "Guys?" "Am I right? our second semester's going to be great!" "But." "Classes start tomorrow." "Which is why I have taken the time to schedule a series of wonderful events for us today!" "or scared of what you have in store." "I don't know." "[Blake sighs]" "I... think I might sit this one out. we should do it as a team." "Nora:" "I got it!" "I for one think that" "Neptune:" "Heh... man that's harsh." "So then we were fighting side by side!" "And she was super fast and I threw a banana at a guy which was gross but it was awesome." "Sun:" "Right?" "Nice!" "And the best part is... she's a faunus." "okay?" "Got it." "And not a "I'm gonna tell Scarlet the second Sun turns his back" secret." "I'm talking secret secret." "okay?" "I got it." "I got it." "You better...!" "Neptune:" "Pfff." "y'know?" "The people here are the coolest!" "No offense to you guys." "I don't take 'em." "they're just in here." "I'm really excited for you to meet them." "So... be cool okay?" "Y'gonna be cool right?" "Dude..." "Good point." "Background:" "FOOD FIGHT!" "[Nora's booming laughter]" "(singing) I'm Queen of the Castle!" "I'm Queen of the Castle!" "Justice will be swift!" "Justice will be painful!" "It will be DELICIOUS!" "YEAAAAAAH!" "Off with their heads!" "turkey!" "Weiss!" "Weiss!" "Don't leave me!" "NOOOOO!" "I love these guys." "Children... please..." "Do not play with your food." "Let it go." "[Glynda sighs]" "They're supposed to be the defenders of the world." "Ozpin:" "And they will be." "But right now they're still children." "So why not let them play the part?" "After all..." "It isn't a role they'll have forever." "Oh!" "Look...!" "She sent the kids again..." "This is turning out just like the divorce." "Emerald:" "Wuhuhuhuhuh... (in disgust)" "Spare us the thought of you procreating." "That was a joke." "And.... this." "Just might" " Tell me where you two have been all day?" "What?" "maybe you'll learn something." "Why do you have this address?" "Wouldn't you like to know?" "Yeah..." "I would!" "Now... where have you been all day?" "Cleaning up your problems." "One of them at least." "I had that under control." "Two packed bags and a ticket out of Vale said otherwise." "Listen you little punk." "I would take you and your little street rat friend here and I would" "Roman?" "I'd um not kill them?" "Cinder!" "I thought I made it clear you were to eliminate the would-be runaway." "I was going to..." "He was going to escape to Vacuo." "Mercury and I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat." "actually." "What?" "Like a puma?" "Yeah... there you go." "Cinder:" "Quiet." "Did I not specifically instruct you two to keep your hands clean while in Vale?" "I just... thought" "Don't think." "Obey." "Yes ma'am." "It won't happen again." "And you." "Why wasn't this job done sooner?" "Uhhh..." "Sorry if I've been busy stealing every speck of Dust in the kingdom." "You're an inspiration to every punk with a gun and a ski mask." "I've got this town running scared. and!" "vials and rounds and we know what to do with!" "Speaking of which." "It might actually make my next string of robberies go a little smoother." "Roman." "Have a little faith." "You'll know what you need when you need to know. we're done with Dust." "Ooooohkay then." "What now?" "We're moving." "Have the White Fang clear out this building." "I'll send you details and coordinates tonight." "Coordinates?" "We're proceeding to phase two." "There's a point where it tips There's a point where it breaks" "There's a point where it bends and the point we just can't take anymore" "There's a line that we'll cross And there's no return" "There's a time and a place No bridges left to burn" "Anymore!" "We can't just wait with lives at stake" "Until they think we're ready" "Our enemies are gathering" "The storm is growing deadly" "Now it's time to say goodbye" "To the things we loved" "And the innocence of youth" "How the time seemed to fly" "From our carefree lives" "And the solitude and peace we always knew"
