RWBY – The madness of Lappland

Arriving at the cell, the group goes inside.

" not bad "

Coco says looking at the interior. Inside, one large black couch stretches along the length of each wall and there is one large metal stool in the middle and a monitor hangs above the entrance. The whole room, despite the furniture, has masses of space enough for ten people to dance.

 "You pay for something,"

Lappland says as she sits down on the couch And to her left sits Bleka and to her right sits Yang. The CFVY team is not standing still either and they too sit down facing Lappland, Yang and Blake . 

"I'll bring the drink right away "

The waitress says and with cat-like movements she leaves closing the cell door behind her.

" I had no idea there was a place like this in the Vale " 

Says an excited Coco. 

"However, what was Velvet doing in such a place? "

Asks Coco when both Daichi and Fox look at the shy rabbit girl. 

" Silver invited me to her birthday party and it was right here ". 

Velvet says quietly. 

" That Faunus girl from the HJSL team? " 

Asks a surprised Fox. When the cell suddenly darkened . Looking towards the exit the glass between the cel bars darkened. In her seat sat Lappland with her finger on the remote control pointing on the bars of the cell . 

" Why are you so surprised redhead any Faunus who knows the right Faunus can get in here". 

" It doesn't matter if it's an office worker, a neighbour or a policeman, any Faunus even a Hunter can come here and show their true nature " 

Lappland says. 

" What people call desires for us is just instinct ".

" So this place is a place of sin for every Faunus stressed by life here you can show your animal self if you still have one "

Lappland continues by reaching into the bowl that sits on the table and pulls out a mint. 

" Lappland don't take it "

Says Blake catching Lappland's wrist. At the same moment the same waitress walks in with a box in her hands. 

" When it's finished just call"

Says the waitress placing the box on the table. 

" And this is for you" 

The waitress continues by walking up to Daichi and putting a note behind his ear. After finishing her task and leaving a shocked Daichi, the waitress is about to leave but is interrupted by Lappland. 

" There are still sign-ups for the cage" 

Asks Lappland when the waitress nods in confirmation with a smile. 

"Sign me up "

Says Lappland quickly popping a " mint" into her mouth. Blake is about to say something when Lappland whispers something into her bow. To which Blake sighs and pulls all the remaining Lien out of her wallet. 

" I want to place the whole bet on her". 

Blake says. When the waitress takes the money from her and looks back at Lappland. 

" Are you sure" Lappy"? " 

Says the waitress with a catlike smile. 

" Yes "

Lappland says with a smile. 

" You can count me in too, there's no way I'm going to miss it "

Yang says with a smile. 

" Sorry but only Faunus are allowed to participate ".

Says the waitress with a smile when Yang was visibly displeased . 

" Ey what is this discrimi.... "

Says hot-headed Yang but before she could finish she remembered where she was and calmly sits back down and pulls out a credit card from her wallet . 

"I also want to bet do you accept credit card payment? . "

Asks Yang without giving up. 

"Yes in a moment I will bring everything to the bets " .

" So before I go you have a mask " Lappy "? " 

Asks the waitress. 

" No prepare me one Hazel " 

Says Lappland when the waitress leaves

" Wait was that Hazel? "

Asks a surprised Blake. 

" Yes it was her "

Says Lappland reaching for another mint. 

"I see you know this place well "

" Normally, IDs and other documents are collected for betting" 

Says Coco pulling liquor out of the box.

" The boss of the club is a friend of Blak's father". 

Lappland says swallowing a second mint.

"So your father is some kind of big shot? "

Coco asks. 

" Used to be now not " 

Says Blake as she looks away and you can hear the sadness in her voice. 

" You shouldn't take so much of that "

Says Velvet looking anxiously at the green mittens in the bowl. 

"What's so dangerous about these mints ? " 

Asks Yang while holding one lozenge while looking at Velevet. 

" It's not the mints it's the specifics for the Faunus that causes feelings of joy and ecstasy." 

" It is not harmful to Faunus and has no effect on humans." 

Blake replies 

" Catnip?" 

Asks Coco with a smile pulling small glasses out of the box. 

" Yes but for all Faunus" 

Says Blake taking one glass from Coco. Daichi waking up from his thoughts slowly starts pulling alcohol from the box onto the table. 

"There's some of that alcohol "

Yang says with a smile. Lappland without looking at the others opens the liquor and pours into his glass. 

" Self-service is different from Juniors". 

Coco says. 

" Juniors is a bar for people and here the Faunus are having fun "

Lappland says. 

" If people knew about this place then Juniors wouldn't be the best in town". 

Fox says. 

" I've heard there's some shady business going on in Juniors and the bar is just a cover " 

Coco says. At these words Yang tightens her lips because she knows the truth. 

"You shouldn't judge anything based on rumours". 

Says Blake in her justice. 

" Lappland can I ask you something? " 

Coco says ending the Juniors topic which was clearly unpleasant for Yang and Blake. 

" What is it? 

Lappland responds with a question to a question. 

"Are you a Huntress ?" 

Coco asks and similarly to Lappland pouring herself a coconut milk liqueur . 

" No me and Blake are taking the Becon exam for this year". 

Says Lappland looking at Blake who pours herself sake. 

"What a coincidence I am also going to Becon this year". 

Says an excited Yang holding wiski in one hand and Cola in the other. 

"Wait doesn't that mean you're seventeen?" 

Asks a  Fox when he pouring himself a Rum. 

" Fox how can you drink this stuff ". 

Says Daichi pouring himself a vodka. 

"Do you want some too Velvet ? "

Asks Daichi showing Velvet the bottle. 

" Can I get something a little softer " 

Replies Velvet when Coco unobtrusively pours Liqueur into Velvet glass. 

" I have eighteen" 

Replies Lappland which causes surprise in Yang. 

" Are you older than me?" 

Asks surprised Yang. 

 " Why shouldn't I be older ?" 

Asks Lappland. 

" You are quite petite" 

Says Yang simply. Hearing someone call Lappland like that, Blake coughat out the sake she was drinking and then she looked at Yang and by her eyes it seemed that a thought had entered her head. . However, Lappland simply giggled at this words. 

"You know I really thought you were a hunter you look experienced". 

Coco says

"Just because I'm not a hunter doesn't mean I can't hunt ." 

Lappland says with a smile. Everyone in the group thought she was talking about hunting grimms but the only one who knew the truth Blake looked at Lappland knowing that grimms were not the only thing Lappland hunts. And so a private party was slowly started and looking at the amount of alcohol and the posibility of refilling it when it was lacking, this night was going to be a long one.
