Lapis's POV:
Weiss asked me and my team if we wanted to go to the Vytal Festival with them. Who were we to say no? We agreed to go with, and well...Weiss was in the best mood I've seen her in.
Weiss: The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!
Ruby: I don't think I've ever seen you smile this much, Weiss. It's kinda weirding me out...
"Yeah, it is a little unsettling, but understandable."
Weiss: How could you not smile? A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament! Oh, the amount of planning and organization that goes into this event is simply breathtaking!
Ranger: Aaaaand there goes all the fun.
Yang: (laughing) Yeah, you really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring.
Weiss: Oh, quiet! Both of you!
We kept walking until we were at the docks.
Yang: Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon visiting the stupid docks?
Ruby: Ugh, they smell like fish!
"Personally, I don't mind the smell. My dad and I used to go fishing all the time."
Weiss: I've heard that students visiting from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today. And, as a representative of Beacon, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom!
Blake: She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament.
Ranger: (gravely) I knew it!
Weiss: (scoffs) You can't prove that!
Ranger: Hell yeah we can!
I looked over to the right, and saw a shattered window followed by lots of yellow police tape.
"Uh, guys? You may want to see this."
Ruby: Whoa. What happened here?
Detective 1: Robbery. Second Dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle.
Yang: That's terrible.
Detective 2: They left all the money again.
Ruby: Huh?
"Hmm..."
Ranger: Something on you're mind?
"Just thinking."
Detective 1: Yeah, just doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much Dust?
Detective 2: I don't know, an army?
Detective 1: You thinking the White Fang?
Detective 2: Yeah, I'm thinking we don't get paid enough.
"The White Fang..."
Weiss: Hmph! The White Fang. What an awful bunch of degenerates!
"Weiss."
As she said that, I felt a wave of frustration come over me.
Blake: What's your problem?
Weiss: My problem? I simply don't care for the criminally insane.
Blake: The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus.
Weiss: Misguided? They want to wipe humanity off the face of the planet!
"Weiss!"
Blake: So then they're very misguided. Either way, it doesn't explain why they would rob a Dust shop in the middle of downtown Vale!
