Y/N POV

Yang rolls the dice. This makes Ruby wail in anguish.

Ruby: "Noooooo!!!! My fearless companions!"

Yang: "They were mostly tin cans."

Y/N: "Right here you know."

Ruby: "You will be avenged."

Yang: "Not till I draw my rewards, which've double due to the Mistral Trade route."

Ruby: "Boo!"

Yang: "And what's this!?! A trade route free from bandits!?!"

Ruby: "Boo, boo I say boo!"

Yang: "Looks like two of your cards are now mine."

Ruby: "Have you no heart?"

Yang demolishes her army taking her out of the game.

Ruby: *defeated* "Noooo"

Yang: "Okay Weiss. It's your turn."

Weiss: "I have... no idea what's going on."

Yang: "See you're playing as Vacuo. Meaning all Vacuo cards come with a bonus."

Weiss: "Little dumb but alright."

Yang slides next to her pointing at her cards.

Yang: "And since Vacuo warriors have a boosted endurance against natural hazards, you can use sand storm to not only disable my forces. But also infiltrate my kingdom."

She points at Weiss menacingly.

Yang: "But if you do. Know that I'll never forget this act of betrayal."

She slinks back to her seat.

Weiss: "And all this leads up to?"

Y/N: "Complete subjugation of Remnant."

Weiss gives an evil laughter.

Weiss: "Yes. Fear my almighty troops. Flee as they burn your homes. Watch helplessly as they take your children from your very-"

Yang: "Trap card."

Weiss: "Huh?"

Yang topples over all of Weiss' pieces.

Yang: "You're now without an army."

Weiss: *weeping* "Why must we play this game of emotions!?!?!?"

Ruby jumps into her lap hugging her.

Ruby: "Stay strong. We're in this together."

Weiss: *returns hug* "Don't touch me."

I chuckle at their reactions.

Yang: "Y/N? Care to test your luck?"

I float across from her.

Y/N: "Prepare to lose."

Yang: "I was just about to say the same thing."

I deploy two claws as I'm given my hand. I look it over coming up with a gameplan.

Yang: "Let this match, though I'd hardly call it that, begin."

*one game later*

I lay down my last card.

Y/N: "And with that I claim victory."

I'm applauded by the others. Meanwhile Yang stares in shock. She slams her hands onto the table getting in my face.

Yang: "How did you beat me? I demand to know."

I smirk.

Y/N: "A good magician never reveals his secrets."

I turn around closing a how to video. Later that night we head back to the dorm. When we arrive we see Blake who's getting ready to leave.

Weiss: "Where're you going?"

Blake: "Out?"

Ruby: "At curfew?"

Blake: "I wanna enjoy the night air."

We get closer to her making her nervous.

Yang: "You're not hiding something, are you?"

Blake: "N-no."

Ruby: "Y/N."

I scan her. 

Y/N: "Her heart rate is ninety three. She's also releasing trace amounts of cortisol and adrenaline. She's hiding something."

Weiss: "What're you hiding Blake?"

Blake: "Nothing."

Ruby: "Scan her scroll."

Blake: "Fine I'll talk!"

She sighs.

Blake: "I got a tip."

Ruby: "About?"

Blake: "The White Fang."

We slightly back up.

Yang: "What about them?"

Blake: "They've been spotted skulking around Vale."

Ruby: "We know. We busted them a couple months ago at the docks remember?"

Blake: "I know. But the tip said they're replenishing their numbers. They're now bigger than before. And I have this hunch that they're gearing up for something big."

Yang: "And you wanna put a stop to them?"

Blake: "If I can."

Weiss: "Give us a moment."

We huddle up.

Weiss: "Whaddaya think?"

Yang: "I'd say it'd be fun."

Ruby: "It'd show that we can handle ourselves."

Weiss: "What're our odds?"

I calculate.

Y/N: "There's a thirty nine percent chance that we'll perish from an unexpected event."

Ruby: "That leaves us with a sixty one percent chance of success."

We deliberate some more. We then break looking at her.

Blake: "Well?"

Weiss: "We're reached our decision. We're-"

Ruby: "We're all gonna take a crime ring!!!!"
