RWBY: A Man With A System

Gin: And thats kinda what happend.

Weiss:.....I see, i must have been hard for you.

Gin: Yeah, but im alright now but enough about that, tell me why we are going to a Dust shop again?

Weiss: Well.... first of all, you should understand that i have a particular fascination with Dust.

Gin: Kinda figure that out already.

Weiss: Right! However, now a days most of the market is controlled by our company and such a large svale business thrives on standardization. No matter where you are on Remnant, Schnee Dust is extracted the same, mixed the same, cut the same . Size, range of purity.... Everything is identical.

Gin: Pretty ideal for mass production.

Weiss: But not for my intrest... Standardized Dust loses all of it's charm. There's no sense of wonder or discovery... Ah we're almost there, by the way.

Gin: I guess we still know too little about Dust that forms, why it forms, and sometimes in random patterns?

Weiss: Precisely! And that's why we are going to an antique shop, they always sell Dust as decorations or incorporated into jewelry. They prioritize uniqueness over standardization so, they more don't have often more intresting varieties in stock.

Gin: I see... So we're going to an antique shop in hope of finding something more intresting then normal Dust?

Weiss:Hehehe... Pretty much.

Gin: Well lets go inside and see the rare Dust then!!

Weiss: Way ahead of you!

Gin: {Looks like talking about Dust makes Weiss happy. And the eager in her eyes is naturally a lovely sight. Not that she isn't usally attentive but this i due to passion instead of simple result. It's a shame it's not seen more often. i should remember this if she ever have a Dust conversation with me again, in the future. Although, i wonder.... Would it be just as lovley if she wasn't so restrained all the time?

Weiss: So what do you think? (Put on a Dust neckless)

Gin: It looks good on you!

Weiss: Flatterer! (Blushes) What i meant is, how do you think they made this?

Gin: Hmm....! I know!

Weiss: You do!?

Gin: We ask the clerk!!

Weiss: My, Taking the easy way out, are we? My, my, Gin, So disappointing....

Gin: Ahahaha...

Weiss: Well... i don't either, so lets go and ask the clerk anyways.

Gin: Hey!!

After they went and asked the clerk about the necklace they went back to Beacon.

Weiss: Thank you for keeping me company, Gin.

Gin: Anytime, Weiss. But for next time, i think you should just tell Ruby.

Weiss: What? But what about-

Gin: I think you're underestimating the lenghts Ruby will go for a friend. She may actually start studying Dust more seriously to have a decent conversation with you about it. Even if you somehow endes up hurting her, i don't think Ruby could hold a grudge if she tried. Becase she'd know you didn't mean it, would she?

Weiss: You... May be right about that.

Gin: Also here, take it.

Weiss: What this? A box?

Gin: It a gift and an apology....Before getting to actually explain yourself, you're going to have to face the look of worry and disappointment on her face!

Weiss:(Shocked).... Ehm, would you maybe want to have lunch together, Gin? Maybe catch a movie? A flight to Haven?

Gin: Sorry, Booked for the rest of the day.

Weiss: Please do not make me go in there!

Gin: You don't have to go but i can't stay here! See ya, Weiss!!! (Having a large smile on his face)

Weiss: Ah, Gin, Please come back, don't make me do this alone-

Ruby: Weiss?

Weiss: WAH! Ruby, What a coincidence....

Ruby: H-H-How could you? leaving without telling us, not answering your phone... we were worried!!! (Shaking Weiss)

Weiss: IM SORRY!!!

[At Night Team RWBY Room]

Weiss: (In Bed] i will make you pay for this, Gin!

Weiss then sees the box that Gin gave her and opens it.

Weiss: ....I can't belive it.. he bought me the necklace... Hmph i will forgive him... just this once. (Looking at the necklace with a smile)

[Location Unknown]

Gin: Okey.....this is getting ridiculous! Where am i now? These dreams are getting really annoying!

What Gin sees is a dark hall with a long table and chairs around it.

???: This is interesting... Who are you? And why is it i have seen you before?

Gin turns to the voice and almost screams his head off in his mind.

Gin:{Ahhhhhhh!!!! Salem?!}
