Ruby sat gleefully at her red laptop computer, watching patiently as the installation bar filled at a brisk pace. She had been around the internet and found rather odd looking pictures of anime girls, and something about the amount of said pictures coupled with the strikingly positive comments and statements revolving around them caused her curiosity to look into them, and discovered that they were from a freeware dating sim/visual novel thing called "Katawa Shoujo."

Installation complete; time to launch the game.

"Whatcha playing there, sis?" Yang asked suddenly from behind.

"Just some visual novel thing I found. I hear it's quite good," Ruby replied.

This caught Blake's attention. "What's it called?"

"Katawa Shoujo. Have you heard of it?"

In response, Blake teared up and sniffled lightly before whispering, "Yes."

"Is it…good?"

Blake nodded silently before excusing herself and leaving the dorm. "Well, that was odd," Yang stated. "Have fun. I'm going to the gym."

"Kay. Don't break the punching bag this time," Ruby chastised.

"That was once…maybe twice," Yang replied as she grabbed her gym bag and departed the room. Incidentally, Ruby was all alone now; Weiss was in the library studying in silence.

"Okay, so start game!" Ruby declared, pressing the start button on the main menu.

"Well," Ruby said minutes later. "That's a depressing start." The opening cutscene depicts the main protagonist, Hisao, being confessed to by a pretty girl, and the shock causes him to have a heart attack; quite literally, he has a heart attack. At seventeen years of age, he has a heart condition that was only just then revealed, and it's a miracle he survived. To keep him from having another incident, as well as to keep up with his grades, he transfers to a school for disabled students some months later. The school has a twenty-four hour nursing staff to cater to any medical needs that any student may need.

"I think I get it so far. Hisao already hates the place, but he's slowly going to enjoy it more than anything and he's going to get a super awesome girlfriend, maybe have a little drama along the way. That's how these games work, right?" Ruby didn't seem to care that she was talking to herself. "So, step one: meet the cast and decide which path to take."

After a few more minutes, the other characters all introduced themselves; the legally blind (and thankfully not datable) crazy neighbor boy Kenji, the completely blind and kind hearted Lily, the frighteningly energetic track and field girl with prosthetic legs named Emi, the mute and obviously tsundere Shizune with her sign language interpreter Misha, the shy and scarred by burns (and surprisingly adorable) Hanako, and the artistic girl with no arms who paints with her feet Rin. "Yeah, this is kinda strange, but oh well!" Ruby declared.

She decided to go with the Shizune route. Based on the initial encounter, she seemed kind of like a combination of Weiss and Yang; clearly tsundere, but demanding that you pay attention and do as she says to meet her challenges; she seemed predominantly Weiss like, however.

"Phase one complete! Act 2 is starting, so let's get this done!" Ruby declared as she happily began reading the dialogue as it appeared and answering when prompted, trying her hardest to make the right decisions. "What could possibly go wrong!" It appeared that she had completely forgotten about Misha, who was seen in the Shizune cutscene as apparently being a potential issue.

"What the hell! Misha's a lesbian? Didn't see that coming. So, she tried to go out with Shizune and now she's kind of jealous of Hisao? Makes sense, but why is she seducing me? Oh well, that's a no from me." She clicked the wrong answer by mistake. "What! NONONONONONO! I don't want this! This could ruin what I've built so far for Shizune! No~~~!"

As she frantically freaked out, she soon became aware that a sex scene was starting to play on her screen; a detailed sex scene. "There's actual sex in this game?" she asked out loud.

Weiss chose that very moment to enter the room. Her eyes caught sight of Ruby's computer screen.

"Hi, Weiss," Ruby greeted casually before she realized that the sex scene was still on her screen. "Uh oh," she whispered.

"No, don't mind me. I'll just…be leaving you to do whatever it is that you're doing. Who am I to judge your activities when you're alone," Weiss stated as she left and closed the door, trying to hide a deep red blush on her face.

"Great. Now she thinks I'm a pervert." She shrugged. "Oh well, time to get back to the game."

Hours had gone by. Ruby had completed the game. All of it. The whole thing. Every path was complete, every song and picture unlocked, and ever scene accessable, and in the corner was Ruby, crying gently.

"I'm telling you," Blake said as she and the other two members entered the room. "The game isn't a porn game, Weiss. There are sex scenes, but they aren't just there for smut purposes. They actually mean something, and help develop the story. Each path is actually very touching and is…" she paused as the three noticed Ruby.

Ruby looked at her team mates. "It's a train wreck of emotions," she finished Blake's sentence for her, tears clouding her vision.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

STORY TIME:

So, this was a random idea that I had literally 30 minutes ago. I don't know if any of you have heard of/played Katawa Shoujo, but I highly recommend it. It is freeware, and it is amazing. Much like my break into the fandoms of MLP and Attack on Titan, I looked into it simply because it was everywhere I looked, and it peaked my curiosity. It was my first (and still only) dating sim/visual novel, and after each and every possible path I didn't know what to do with all my feels. I firmly believe that if you have nothing better to do, you should be able to beat a couple of paths (maybe all of them, idk) in a handful of hours. I wasted about 2 months of my life playing it, and I only took that long because I was still in college at the time.

A couple other ideas I had were to have team RWBY play Halo 2's multiplayer via LAN (because while Halo 3, Reach, and 4 took up most of my online play time, I still believe that Halo 2 had the best maps.) I'm also considering a Yang Plays, but I'm not sure what she should play. In the works (meaning words have been written for them) are Team RWBY Plays Super Smash Bros. and Team JNPR Plays Borderlands 2, with plans for Jaune Plays Dark Souls.

As always, leave suggestions if you have them, because i take them very seriously. Just be warned: if its PS3 it may not get done because I sadly do not own a PS3 (though I have plans to buy a PS4 when I start working again in the Spring.) Till next time!
