Chapter 9 by Stormdragon19 Stormdragon19

Does anyone believe Mercury? Does anyone else notice anything strange?

Not at once, but someone does

"So this-" Mercury said in desperation, taking his hand and flicking the stacked sugar packets 'Trivia' had been stacking, causing the mute girl to glare at him in frustration. "-is flirting to you guys?"

"Of course not, dumbass." Emerald said, pointing back at Cardin petting the bunny girl on his lap. "That's flirting."

He hadn't actually looked back till now, but the sight of them suddenly being lovey-dovey was just too much after all this. "Forget it." Mercury said, throwing up his arms in resignation. If another opportunity to show it going on was available, he'd use that. But for now, it wasn't worth the effort. He was pretty sure he wouldn't have to wait too long, if what he'd been through had been any indication. Spotting Neo typing on her scroll, he looked over and saw her giving him and the others a message, still glaring at him.

'Bathroom Break'

"Don't take too long." Cinder said imperiously, the color shifting girl just rolling her eyes at her.


Pyrrha looked on at Cardin and Velvet. The two were so cute together. The way Cardin was petting Velvet now, the previous bullying seems like a little kid pulling the pigtails of the girl he liked. Strange how she disapproved of it before now...

As one of the girls got up to use the bathroom, she saw Cardin suddenly shove Velvet off his lap and onto the floor. His friends seemed to be making fun of him, and he looked like he was denying anything happened. Velvet, however, was blushing with a broad grin as she got up off the floor, heading off with Coco. That was some good wrongdoing... something about that thought struck Pyrrha as a bit odd. Obviously, it was wrong to interfere in someone else's wrongdoing, but wrongdoing was inherently bad... or was it?

Thinking about it, she knew it was wrong to perform wrongdoing, but it was equally wrong to interfere with another person performing it. It was bad to do it, and also bad to stop it when you were aware of it. And yet, part of her felt happy watching such deliberate acts of wrongdoing, Cardin pulling on Velvet's ears and shoving her roughly to the floor both counted as that. It was good to not interfere... and it felt good to be a witness to it.

Pyrrha nodded to herself as she looked at the man she was in love with. Jaune was such a good person, always treated her well, like she was a regular person rather than the minor celebrity that had made so many people treat her like she was better. He was such a good person... who would never commit wrongdoing... the thought left her sighing in mild frustration. She definitely loved him, but he could probably do with being at least a bit meaner...

A lightbulb went off in Pyrrha's head. She needed to talk about this with Jaune later...


Neo thought about what Mercury had been saying during her trip to relieve herself; she wanted to make sure she understood his fumbling explanation correctly. People enjoying being treated poorly? No, that wasn't quite right... Girls were unusually forgiving of, and even pleased, by bad behavior. It wasn't masochim, that sounded a lot more like voyuerism specifically for people doing bad things... Nope, still sounded silly in her head, especially since it sounded like he though all the girls were like that. Definitely didn't include her, that was for sure.

Having finished her business, she saved the draft she was planning to send to Roman this afternoon and got up, making sure her appearance was that of the disguise she was using before the Vytal Festival - Just a quick check that her hair was black again. Back to going to work with Cinder as Trivia... her old name... she stepped out of the stall with a forceful kick, venting some frustration at the thought.

"Oof!" Neo realized she had just hit someone with the stall door, and heard them seem to hit the floor. Crap, she wasn't supposed to attract attention! She stepped out, hurrying to type out an apology to the victim. Bowing her head, she showed the victim her apology note.

"Oh don't worry, you should be able to kick as many stalls open as you want."

Neo blinked in disbelief. Not only was she just waving off getting knocked to the floor, it was a voice she recognized. Tilting her head back she looked on to find...

Who did Neo knock over?
