Death From Within is Colored Blood (Carrion X RWBY)

Chapter 10: A Salty-Aired Trip, A Saltier Argument, and An Even Saltier Divide

(Yes. That's a MASSIVE pile of salt, RIGHT FUCKIN' UP THERE!!!!!)

Weiss: The Vytal Festival! Oh, this is absolutely wonderful!

Ruby: I don't think I ever see you smile this much, Weiss. It's kinda weirding me out...

Team RWBY (myself included, mind you) are strolling around the town of Vale today this morning, led by Weiss as she had the idea at the time.

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!

Yang: *Sigh* You really know how to take a good thing and make it sound boring.

Weiss: Quiet you.

Carrion: Especially by leaving out the food. Speaking of which, here you go.

I reach under my jacket and pull out a small plastic bag and toss it to Ruby. She catches it, albeit barely in an adorable way, and takes out one of its contents.

Ruby: *Gasp* COOKIES!!!!!!

Carrion: A little tribute to a little jewel.

Ruby: *Hugs me* Carrion. You. Are. The. BEST!!!!

Yang: *Giggles* I think you just found your boyfriend, Rubes.

Ruby: *Flustered* Y-Y-YANG!!!

Weiss: That's enough over there. We're here.

We stop by at the docks of Vale and look towards the ocean distance ahead of us as we hear boat horns and bells ring out.

Yang: Remind me again why we're spending our Friday afternoon, visiting the stupid docks?

Ruby: *Pinches nose* Ugh, they smell like fish.

Carrion: I guess fish-flavored cookies don't exist for a reason.

Blake's Mind: That sounds...interesting...

Weiss: I heard that students from Vacuo will be arriving by ship today, and as a representative, I feel as though it is my solemn duty to welcome them to this fine kingdom.

I stealthily send in a cloaked tendril to the bag on the back of her belt and even more stealthily extracted a couple of "unimportant" items from it. By making said tendril swallow the items in question into it and moving them across the tendril until it reaches my outstretched hand, which was carefully hidden from my team behind my back. After the acquisition is done, I quickly and quietly, retract the tendril back into me.

(Now that was some of Jazz's shit from "Welcome to Demon School, Iruma!")

Blake: She wants to spy on them so she'll have the upper hand in the tournament.

Weiss: *Scoffs* You can't prove that!

Carrion: Then what's this?

I reveal to my team what's in my hand that I took from Weiss. A notebook with snowflake-themed covers and a white pencil.

Weiss: Wha-!? How did-!? *Checks pocket* That's mine!

Carrion: I didn't expect these to be in that bag. I thought you'd have some dust ammo in there instead.

Blake: See? What did I tell you?

Ruby: *Turns in one direction* Whoa...

Everyone soon looks in the direction Ruby is seeing and sees a crime scene sealed off to the public with police tape and a few outlines of dead bodies litter the front area of a shot. Though the inside wasn't able to be seen, it's pretty clear to most what had happened here. We then walk towards the detectives working out the scene and stop just in front of the tape.
