Joshua and Stacy are on duty patrolling the stalls for the festival and are enjoying the day.
At "A Simple Wok", Team RWBY sits at the stools in sadness after Weiss's card was declined. Joshua walks past them in the background with a mug of black coffee he bought from the Caesar's coffee stall at the festival.
Pyrrha: Maybe I could help?
Ruby: (flings her arms wide in delight) Pyrrha!
Yang: Aw, you don't have to ...
Blake: But she could!!!
Pyrrha: Well, I think you all earned it after that battle.
Jeane: Mind if we join you?
Later on, the bowls are empty, and each student is either content with their meal or holding their stomachs sickly.
Ren: (to Pyrrha:) Are you sure it's wise to have eaten before a fight?
Pyrrha: Of course! It will give us energy!
Nora simply gives a hearty belch.
Joshua: It may have given you energy, but Miss Arc doesn't look so good.
Everyone jumps at the sudden appearance of Joshua.
Yang: How do you keep randomly appearing?!
Joshua just shrugs
Jeane: (splaying herself over the counter.) Curse you weak stomach.
Nora: Ooh! (grinning evilly) Aim at the enemy!
Joshua: Miss Valkyrie.
Ren: Nora, that's disgusting. But if you feel the urge ...
Jeane: I don't feel like vomiting, just a bit queasy.
Pyrrha: Well, we should be off.
Joshua: I should as well. Goodbye.
Joshua meets up with Stacy and resumes his patrol. It's now dusk and Joshua and Stacy are watching over the docking bays. They see Weiss talking to Winter, students walking around and a drunk guy decapitate an Atlesian robot. Joshua just sighs and makes his way to the imminent trouble.
With the others
Qrow: Hey! Yeah, I'm talking to you, Ice Queen! (tosses the decapitated machine aside)
Weiss: Excuse me! Do you have any idea who you are talking to!?
Qrow: Sssshhh. Not you. (pushes her out of his way as he moves forward)
Weiss: Hey!
Qrow: You. Saw that gaudy ship of yours in town. I guess you're here, too.
Winter: I'm standing right before you.
Qrow: (squints through his hazy state of mind) So it would seem.
Winter: You realize you just destroyed Atlas Military property.
Qrow: (sarcastically apologizes as he looks at his surroundings) Oh, oh I'm sorry. See, I mistook this for some sort of... sentient garbage.
Winter: (walks over to face Qrow) I don't have time for your immature games, Qrow.
Weiss: Wait, you two know each other?
Qrow: Geez, you Atlas Specialists think you're so special, don't you?
Winter: It's in the title.
Qrow: Well, you know what you really are? A bunch of sellouts. Just like your boss.
