[ Weiss has been keeping to herself for a few days, really only having spoken with Ruby and Jaune so far.. but this situation has come to a climax. She can't take it anymore. She has to do something! Even if it means acknowledging the other people who may or may not actually be pirates. ]

I'm going to ask you all a question and one of you had better have an answer! Is there anywhere in this place to sleep that isn't full of smelly drunkards? Maybe a place with an ice machine that looks a little more like it's got zero chance of bugs.

[ Weiss's tone is dead serious. She has absolutely no tolerance for this quality of rooming. Bunk beds, dorm rooms? Fine. They're clean, warm, and more than comfortable at the top school for huntresses and hunters. They definitely aren't situated over a noisy bar. The other option was to actually get a ship and she wasn't going to deal with a tiny little dinghy-- that would probably be worse than the room. ]

I know my standards can be a little high sometimes... but there is absolutely no way I'm staying in a place that's not even fit for animals for one more night. [ The last three words are punctuated to emphasize her point. ]

If you think being told to get over petty complaints and direct your energy towards something useful is "attacking" or condescending or whatever it is you seem so offended about, you really are a child.

All you've told me so far is to "get over it" when I asked a question, that I'm distracted, whining, complaining, sad, a child, and deluded! You think I have any reason to listen to someone as disrespectful as you?

I'm disrespectful!? You... you!...

You... are new. In a world not your own and subject to hardships needlessly and I'm not helping by being overly harsh. -A long sigh. Sometimes she DOES manage to catch herself when she gets like this. Heart-on-the-sleeve types.-

I apologize.

[ There's a brief silence on Weiss's end, in which she's trying to compose herself so that she doesn't just start agreeing that this person is being overly harsh on her and continuing yelling. It's hard, and it's clear in her tone that she's still a little upset when she does respond, but she takes it better than she would have a while ago. ]

..Thank you.

-Moreover, she knows her prince would be upset with her if she caught her letting her temper get the best of her like that, as it was prone to do.-

Allow me to introduce myself, so that we might get a better start. I am Soga no Tojiko, chief consort of Crown Prince Kamitsumiya no Umayado no Toyotomimi no Mikoto, ruler of All Japan.

I'm Weiss Schnee, heiress of Schnee Dust Company and Huntress-in-training at Beacon Academy, in Vale.

[ Though Weiss really isn't sure exactly what Japan is, but from context clues she can guess it's probably a kingdom like Vale or Mistral. ]

Well met, Schnee-san. -You can almost hear the bowing.-

Though it should be said more kindly, I do stand by my original assertion. There is much undesirable about this place, but one can turn it around in a positive direction if one is willing.

Excuse me, but I don't understand what "san" means. Is it a term from your kingdom of Japan?

From what I've heard, the ships are a lot nicer than the inns. That should be a start, but I don't think most crews are going to accept three people at once and there's only one I've heard of so far that sounds remotely acceptable.

It is merely a term of respect. Think nothing of it.

I can only presume you mean the Shepards, given your aforementioned aversion to piracy.

Would it be alright if I called you Miss Soga, then? [ She's not sure exactly what would be appropriate to call her. Cultural differences.. but it's better to ask. ]

Yes, that's them. I have to discuss it with Ruby and Jaune before I end up on any ship, though.

Lady Soga will be sufficient.

The Shepards are... Well, if I am to be honest, I am not fond of moralists, especially in a world where such thinking is needlessly dangerous. But they are good people. I had a chance to fight by their side in the battle that freed Isla Empezia.

You've fought with them, but you're not a member of their crew, Lady Soga? Whose crew are you with then?

[ Weiss figures she must be, given her attitude earlier about getting a move on. ]

The Charming Murderous, under Captain Marvelous.

Captain Marvelous? Is that really his name?

[ ~~Shut up Weiss all your names in your world are fairy tale characters.~~ At least she doesn't sound like she's trying to be rude and sarcastic just.. a little disbelieving. ]

-She wants to say "unfortunately", but manages to keep her manners. He HAS proven an effective captain, after all. Even with such a ridiculous name.-

Well. Yes. It's a bit unusual.

Did he change it to that or was he really born with the name "Marvelous"?

I don't ask.

[ What she was really trying to find out was if the guy's parents were weird or he was a huge narcissist really, but she can't really blame anyone for not asking. ]

It would be pretty rude to bring up.
