Hey there, fellow Lunatians.
[ Though the video shows an older man with silver in his hair and gravel in his voice, he is apparently tech savvy enough to operate the camera without any shaking of the frame or a blurring of the focus. Good for him!
He is slouched forward on his couch, which seems necessary to get the totality of his very long body in the shot, and his stubbled face is an unreadable mask of casual neutrality. ]
I'm posting here tonight because I've got a message for someone who's grown very special to me since we arrived here on Prismatica. This beautiful woman right here -
[ He pulls out another device, which looks something like a translucent-screened iPhone, and uses it to show off a photo to the recording camera. ]
You may know her as Winter Schnee, the Ice Queen, or maybe just that potential alien pod person who recently uploaded a 20 minute formal presentation on terms and negotiations for casual, no-strings-attached frotting for Chroma. If you're relatively new to the planet and missed out on that, well that's a shame because it was really something. If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to dig it up in the archives.
Anyway, my message is this. More of a question, really.
[ With an enigmatic smile, Qrow stands from the couch, only to stoop to a crouch on one knee as he produces from his pocket a small, wooden box which soon takes up most of the frame. The box opens to reveal two gorgeously polished Eternal Rings of Promise, identically crafted gleaming bands of steel inlaid with a decidedly otherworldy blue wood. ]
Winter Schnee, would you do me the honor...
...of giving these damn power buffing rings to your sister already, so you can stop giving me heart attacks by soliciting completely random weirdos over the network for sex?
[ End video. ]

[AIRQUOTES RIGHT BACK.]
I don't care. Why would you think this was an okay thing to do to somebody you "supposedly" care about?

It was a joke. What the hell is everyone getting so worked up about?
[ men. ]

Uncle Qrow. [Yes, she'll pull the "uncle" card here. She does love him after all!] What if I had somebody I liked and that I thought liked me back. But then, instead of talking it over privately, they humiliated me in front of as many people as possible by announcing that I needed to stop tramping it up with strangers and should only hang out with Ruby.
That they made it seem like they only cared about making me feel bad for spending time with other people instead of caring about my well-being or actually doing something to show it.
[Honestly, there was nothing wrong with the general idea behind the rings and if Qrow and Winter aren't ready for that step, that's understandable but geezes.]
Would you be upset at the person who embarrassed me in public or upset at me for not being the right amount of "exclusive"?
[Yes it's not a totally comparable situation because she and Winter are very different people but it's the feelings here that matter.
Feelings that were hurt.]
