[Nora turns around and looks at the paper, blinking. She seems genuinely clueless.]

Is it an invitation? To a party?

[schmisse]

It's... [ she starts out strong, but then she looks away and frowns. ] a love letter.

1/3

[kaboop]

[She gasps dramatically.]

A...a love letter?!

[kaboop]

[Then she slides a bit closer to Weiss, bouncing a bit too eagerly on her heels and clapping her hands softly.]

Ooh, who's it from? What does it say? Do you have a secret admirer, Weiss?

[kaboop]

...Wait, if you already know it's a love letter, why are you asking me what it is?

[NORA...]

[schmisse]

It was a trap to see if you were the one who wrote it or not!

[ and clearly, nora isn't responsible for it!! that answers that. ]

[kaboop]

...

Nnnnnope. Wasn't me. [Just. This big goofy but genuinely innocent grin.] Does the handwriting ring a bell?

[schmisse]

No, and I'm not going to ask everyone I know if they can show me proof of their handwriting, either.

[ maybe she should just ignore it... what good would taking action do, anyway? what good would finding out who wrote it do? ]

I don't know. Just be on your guard, I guess.

[kaboop]

[Nora drops the grin and strokes her chin.]

You think it might be a prank? [Not...a real love letter?]

[schmisse]

[ oh my god that's EVEN WORSE ]

Why would anybody think this is a clever prank?!

[kaboop]

I dunno, maybe they weren't going for "clever"!

[THROWS UP HER HANDS.]

Just "prank".

[schmisse]

Well, it's a terrible prank!

[ ok but weiss why are you getting mad at nora? ]

[kaboop]

It's not my fault someone's a terrible prankster!

[YEAH WEISS IT'S NOT NORA'S FAULT. Wasn't this established already.]

[schmisse]

[ her expression turns wry from nora's voice. weiss did raise her voice first so it's understandable. ugh... ]

Sorry, I didn't mean to shout. Nothing's funny about this at all, that's all. And I'm kind of wondering if I should be watching my step wherever I go.

[kaboop]

[Nora backs off as well when Weiss does, and her eyes flick toward the love letter again.]

...Can I read it? Either it's a joke, or someone likes you but is way too shy to sign it.

Buuuut I don't think they'd mean trouble.

[schmisse]

[ she already showed the others, may as well let nora have a crack at it too. ]

Here you go.

1/2

[kaboop]

[With a swift movement, she snatches up the paper and scans it, pouting thoughtfully...]

[kaboop]

[While reading, however, she has to bite her lip to keep from laughing out loud.

"Lady" Weiss? "A pillow whisper away from you"??]

Pffft...

["perfect like an eternal ice sculpture"... "it would be worth getting my face stuck on it"... It's getting harder and harder for Nora and she actually snorts before finally breaking into peals of laughter.]

Seriously?! No wonder they didn't sign it!

[In between chortles, she thrusts the letter back to Weiss.]

[schmisse]

[ yeah... it's really embarrassing. . . the colours in weiss slowly turn dull until she's grey. ]

If they were already being honest, they should have signed it. Now this is just going to bother me until I figure out who it's from, you know?

[kaboop]

[Weiss' color change reminds Nora a bit too much of Ren's Semblance, so she pauses for a full two seconds before answering her.]

Whoever wrote that letter probably didn't think of that. Do the others know about it?

[By "others" Nora means housemates.]

[schmisse]

I'm just about to ask Pyrrha and Jaune about it.

[kaboop]

A Semblance that can see the past would be really handy right about now, huh?

[A short chuckle.]

[schmisse]

Is that even possible?

[ it sounds like it shouldn't, but she doesn't even know anymore. ]

[kaboop]

Who knows? We keep encountering different Semblances!

[What CAN'T a Semblance do, at this point.]

I mean, Qrow's is literally bad luck!

[schmisse]

[ ?????? ]

What do you mean "bad luck"?
