"We can't play Monopoly, Ozpin!" Salem shouted furiously.

"Why not?" Ozpin asked. "Afraid you'll lose again?"

"No one has ever finished a game of Monopoly." Pyrrha said quietly. "Games either end with everyone quitting or someone getting hurt."

"Well then… I guess we're going to change that." Ozpin said with a grin.

"Oh for the love of dust!" Salem screamed in frustration. She paused for a moment to think. "Fine. But I get to be the dog."

Ozpin twitched. "Salem… I don't think you quite realise this, but I'm always the dog in Monopoly."

Salem smirked. "Well you're going to have to choose a different piece because today, I am the dog."

"Salem. I'm going to tell you one more time nicely. I am the dog." Ozpin said getting angrier.

"No, I am!" Salem snapped.

"I am the dog, you despicable creature!" Ozpin shouted.

"You can be the shoe! I want to be the dog!" Salem shouted even louder than Ozpin.

"I don't want to be the damn shoe! I want to be the dog!" Ozpin screamed.

"You stubborn little-"

"ENOUGH!" Pyrrha shouted cutting off Salem. She stormed towards the open box, picked up the dog piece and threw it over the cliff. "Now no one is going to be the dog!"

Ozpin and Salem both looked at each other then back to Pyrrha.

"We are going to play Monopoly and not have a single argument or so help me I will destroy every last game in that stupid mug-case! Is that clear!?" Pyrrha screamed in rage.

"Yes…" Ozpin and Salem muttered.

Pyrrha pointed at Ozpin. "You dragged me into this mess and I'm going do my best enjoy it! Now both of you sit down and set up the board!"

Ozpin and Salem did as Pyrrha said.

"I'll be the hat." Salem said quietly.

"I'll be the shoe." Ozpin replied.

"And I will be the ship." Pyrrha said as she calmed down.

All three of them set there pieces at the 'Go' square. They were ready to begin.

"Who will play first?" Salem asked.

"We shall go in order of youngest to oldest. Pyrrha 1st, you 2nd and me 3rd." Ozpin said as he recollected himself.

"Ok then! Let's have a fun, civil game of Monopoly." Pyrrha said with a forced smile on her face. She rolled the dice and got a three. "Tukson's book trade. 60 Lien. I'll buy it!" Pyrrha put away 60 Lein and took the 'Tukson's book trade' card.

"This is going to take forever…" Salem said as she rolled the dice. She got a 10. "Just visiting jail. Phew…"

"It's going to be hilariously ironic when you land in there." Ozpin said.

"Oh please! As if I would be foolish enough to end up there." Salem replied.

"Well you-" Ozpin stopped when he noticed Pyrrha glaring at him. "Sorry…"

Salem grinned smugly.

Ozpin rolled the dice and got a 6. "Hei Xiong's Nightclub. 100 Lein. I think I'll leave that for now. I have something else in mind." Ozpin said.

Pyrrha rolled the dice and got a 12 with double sizes. "Hm… Beacon docks. No." She rolled again and got an 8. "I'll buy A Simple Wok!" Pyrrha said as she did so.

"You're getting greedy, Miss Nikos. Be patient." Ozpin warned Pyrrha.

"I share a dorm with Jaune Arc. I know a thing or two about patience." Pyrrha replied.

"Touché." Ozpin said impressed by the witty response.

"Time to bring it back!" Salem exclaimed as she rolled the dice. She rolled a 7. "A community chest! How thrilling." Salem said sarcastically as she picked up a card. "It's your Birthday. Receive 50 Lien from each player." Salem smiled. "You heard the card! Pay the birthday girl!"

Ozpin and Pyrrha both begrudgingly handed over 50 Lien.

"How thoughtful." Salem said as she grinned at Ozpin.

Ozpin growled under his breath. He picked up the dice and rolled a 5. "Signal Academy. Pass."

"You need to buy something eventually!" Salem snapped.

"All part of my plan." Ozpin said.

Pyrrha picked up the dice and rolled a 6. "A community chest! I hope this is good." She picked up the card. "You have won the 2nd place prize in a beauty contest? Receive 20 Lien?" Pyrrha was a little hurt by this. "At least I get money…"

"This is the beginning of the end!" Salem shouted as she rolled the dice. She got double two's. "Hm... I'll buy From Dust 'til Dawn." She did so. Salem then rolled the dice again and got a 9. "GO TO JAIL!?"

It was at this moment that Ozpin burst out laughing. "I would just like to say I called that." He said hrough his laughter.

Pyrrha tried to keep a straight face but couldn't stop herself from giggling.

Salem was not happy about this. Her eyes glowed a bright red as she moved her piece onto the Jail square. "I hope you're happy now." Salem said as she crossed her arms.

"Very." Ozpin replied.

"Just take your stupid turn…" She said not looking at him.

Ozpin rolled the dice and got an 11. "Finally! A chance card!" He picked up the card. "You single-handedly save the city from a Grimm attack. Receive 100 Lien." Ozpin picked up the Lien. "Fear not for you are under my protection!" Ozpin exclaimed proudly.

"Oh bite me." Salem snapped.

Ozpin glared at her.

"Ok then. My turn again…"

Several dozen turns later…

"I can't afford that!" Salem screamed. "I'll go bankrupt!"

"What a shame for you. But I want my money!" Ozpin said sternly.

"Um… Pyrrha? Can you help me out?" Salem asked.

"Let me think…" Pyrrha paused for a second and smiled. "No."

"Oh come on!" Salem begged. "What have I ever done to you!?"

Pyrrha looked at her with a serious face.

Salem sighed. "Forget it. I'm bankrupt! You beat me once again! Now if you'll excuse me, I need a bathroom break." Salem went down the stone stairway.

"Are you ready to fail just like her, Pyrrha?" Ozpin taunted Pyrrha.

"Not just yet, Old man!" Pyrrha replied.

There were houses and hotels all over the board. Both Ozpin and Pyrrha had low amounts of money left. Iit was anybody's game.

Ozpin took a deep breath. He picked up the dice and rolled it. He got an 8. "NO!" Ozpin shouted. He had just landed on The Schnee Dust Company HQ which was owned by Pyrrha who had placed a hotel on it.

"Looks like you owe me 2000 Lien, Professor." Pyrrha said with a smug look on her face.

Ozpin looked at the board then his money. "You've got me. You win."

Pyrrha's face lit up. "Yes! I am the Monopoly chamion!" She shouted.

"See? It can be fun once you get into it." Ozpin said with a smile.

"I see we have a winner." Salem said as she returned. "How does it feel to taste defeat, Ozpin?"

"I've felt worse feelings." Ozpin said with a stutter. As soon as he said this there was a tension in the area.

Salem looked at him. "Yes… Indeed you have." She said while not making eye contact with him.

Pyrrha sensed this tension and tried to break it. "How about a card game?" She suggested.

" A wonderful idea, Miss Nikos!" Ozpin stood up and walked over to his case. "Let's see… Blackjack, Poker, Snap… Ah!" Ozpin pulled out a large box full of cards. "How about this?"

"What is it?" Salem asked.

Ozpin threw the box to her.

Salem caught it and read the label. Her hands started trembling and she dropped the box. She sat down speechless. "Why do you even own that!?" She asked Ozpin in horror.

Pyrrha, who was now very curious after witnessing that, walked over to the box and picked it up. As soon as she read the label her eyes widened. "No… It can't be!" She said with fear in her voice.

The label read… "Cards Against Humanity."
