[Gonna join in on the cheering who even cares what hour it is.]

You kissed someone!!

[crimsomatic]

[ Oh good, they're all screaming now. ]

Weiss and Jean, sitting in a tree -!

[ You know how the rest goes. ]

[schmisse]

[ She continues squealing and screaming for a while until she jumps out of the bed, waaay too alert. She's still hugging her pillow, too! ]

That- That was my first kiss! What if I wasn't good?! [ OH GOD!!!! ] YANG!!!!!!

[nailed_it]

[Yang'll get up and put her hands on her shoulders to calm her IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT WEISS, BREATHE.]

Hey, hey, you've got nothing to worry about. Whatever you did, he wants to do it again, remember?

[You have another smooch scheduled for tomorrow, Weiss.]

I'm sure it was fine!

[crimsomatic]

[ what about pyrrha does kissing deadies not count!!!

Ruby reaches down from her bunk-thing to pat Weiss on the head. ]

Yeah, if it was super gross or he didn't like it, he wouldn't want to do it again!

[ ...Probably. Boys are weird. ]

[schmisse]

[ That never happened!! :') ]

Okay... okay. [ Both of them help her calm down, but her brain is still really active. She sits back down on her bed and heaves a sigh. ]

I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

[nailed_it]

[Yang chuckles and then grins widely.]

Then we'll just have to not sleep tonight along with you.

[She glances up at her sister's bunk.]

Ruby, what do you think? Team Slumber Party?

[crimsomatic]

[ She's already rearranging her pillows into a little fort. ]

Team slumber party it is! All in favor?

[ Yang, as the representative from BY, counts as two votes. ]

[schmisse]

Okay.

[ She nods, finding comfort in her friends. ]

What do you guys want to do? I'm full of energy tonight!

[nailed_it]

Yeah!

[And nobody said "Aye" yet again.

Yang looks back at Weiss with a huge grin.]

Spill the details of course! How'd you two meet? What was the kiss like? Where're you going for your next smooch date?

[THIS IS IMPORTANT TEAMMATE INFO.]

[crimsomatic]

[ Ruby flops onto her stomach, chin in her hands. ]

Yeah, we want the whoooooole story!

[schmisse]

[ Oh my god. She certainly didn't expect this night to turn out this way, but she's too full of excitement that she ends up spilling EVERYTHING! She talks rather quickly, too, because of all the energy in her. ]

He arrived, and we talked and I joked about how he kidnapped me since I just kind of pulled me elsewhere and ran away! But he ended up being really cool and funny. [ And without a change in topic at all, she continues. ] The kiss was okay? I don't— I don't really know how a kiss is supposed to be, you know? But I was so nervous and he felt warm, so I guess that's a good thing, right? And I have no idea! Do you think I should just wait for him? I don't want to be too forward—we all know how things ended up with Neptune.

[nailed_it]

[Good thing Yang's had years of practice following Ruby's high-speed summations because she follows that without trouble, listening with rapt attention.

When Weiss finishes, she waves her hand unconcerned, making a small "Psh" noise.]

Don't worry about Neptune, this is a totally different guy. I'm sure he likes you just the way you are!

[Not that she thinks Neptune didn't, he just...yeah, he's dumb.

Her encouraging smile turns slightly sly again.]

Besides, if you know a good make-out place here, you should tell him.

[crimsomatic]

[ Ruby has to fight through a fit of giggling at the words "make-out" to speak. ]

You could take him out to lunch and - hehe - hold hands under the table!!

[ This is somehow more scandalous than making out. ]

[schmisse]

[ Neptune is so cool, okay :( Imagine being his girlfriend! You'd be like... 10x cooler! IMAGINE BEING PLUTO BOOBLY'S GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!! ]

I don't know any make-out places! [ SHE'S SO SCANDALISED!!! Her face is so red now. ] And— And lunch sounds good. It's— simple.

[nailed_it]

[Oh Weiss...

Yang laughs as well. She's just messing with you!]

Sounds like lunch is a winner then.

Ask the receptionist if she'll find you a nice quiet table or something.

[For maximum private smooching.]

[crimsomatic]

You should go to From the Hearth! I hear they greeeeaaaat lunch options there!

[ She's heard this from herself. Also, if she knows where Weiss is going to take Jean, maybe she can spy! It's been awhile since Vermilion Richman has seen the light of day... ]

[schmisse]

[ WHY IS IT ALL ABOUT SMOOCHING WITH YOU GUYS!!! ]

From the Hearth, huh? Alright.

[ Her smile turns from a grin to a mellow one. She's so excited!! And... totally unaware of Ruby's plans. ]

Did you guys have fun during Helisium? I'm sure I'm not the only one who did.

[ And no, Ruby, this is not your cue to tell Yang that you and Weiss are total BFFs and that you hugged. ]

[nailed_it]

[She can't speak for Ruby but mostly it's just fun watching Weiss get all flustered about the idea of it.]

Yeah, I had a great time! If all the festivals here are like that, I can't wait for the next one!

What about you, Ruby?

[Sounds like the perfect time to tell Yang all about their confirmed BFF-ness honestly.]

[crimsomatic]

[ SHE MADE A PROMISE NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!! Geez. Fortunately, she has other things to dish out. ]

Well! I discovered I was really bad at improv...but really great at hover ball! Oh, I danced with someone at the ball, too.

[ Yes, she danced, even in those heels the two of them had forced her into. ]

[schmisse]

You what?!

[ Weiss may not be Yang, but she's also protective of her partner! ]

Who danced with you? What does he look like? What did he wear? Did he have clean teeth? Does he have good manners? [ She gasps, then crawls to the edge of her bed to get a better look at Ruby. ] Does he have good posture?!

[nailed_it]

[That is some impressive third degree there.]

Yeah! And most importantly...

[She pitches her voice in a way that sounds suspiciously like she's trying to imitate their dad.]

...Was he wearing clean underwear?

[This is fun.]

[crimsomatic]

[ Ruby blinks for a moment, thoughtful, before answering: ]

I don't know, I didn't see his face, a mask, yes, yes, sort of -

[ And then she looks pointedly at Yang. ]

Why would I know something like that?!

[schmisse]

[ Completely serious: ]

Ruby, I know you're socially awkward, but please don't ask people about their underwear.

[nailed_it]

[Nobody appreciates her sense of humor around here.]

Not before the first date anyway.

[There are totally occasions where you should ask people about their underwear.]

That's great you had an awesome time, Ruby! I'm really proud of you.

[Dancing in the dreaded lady stilts with mysterious boys, her sister's grown up so much.]
