05x07 - Rest and Resolutions

[bunniefuu]

A fairy tale. Back to the show,

back to the wall and there's nowhere to go.

Hopeless and desperate. All pass it first.

Things looking bleak and about to get worse.

Helpless and in is no way. Goals are achievable.

Phase one is dead. Lock the.

Possible. And that's when you learn you've

been messing with God and in your primp.

And.

Beans and winterball. All we need is a miracle. We go.

Will never be the.

Two wins away. Okay. They can bring back would.

So we will. Oh, I.

He freaked out and without even thinking about it.

Thank you. How do you lose your map at a time like that?

Believe me, I've asked myself the same thing ever since.

Hey, but you made up for it.

Mr. muscles, you should have seen this guy

take a giant, grim head on.

I couldn't have done it without Ruby wearing it down.

Oh, me. Did you see Ren during

that fight? He was out of control.

I'm sorry. I may have lost my temper momentarily.

No, no. And out of control.. Is an awesome. Oh! Thank you.

You did not. Yeah, right in the middle of the party.

Please tell me you let that lady have it.

Of course not. Even if I did really want to.

No way. I don't believe it.

but I'll make sure to make good use of it.

That's amazing. Incredible.

And it's just as strong. Sure is.

Wanna bet? Nora, please. Now's not the time.

Don't let her b*at you. You can do this. You can do it. Show them what

Team Juniper is made of. Come on.

Oh, you can't lose to a girl in a skirt.

You wear a skirt, Ruby. Why is you not sharing?

Nora. It definitely feels like the original.

I'll give you that. Yep. But it

does have some new features. Oh, yeah.

Oh oh. Did she.. Win?

Ow! Huh?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Yeah.

We ate it all. Oh, I think I'm going to be sick.

Is he their vomit boy? I believe in you.

Oh, we're doing nickname throwbacks now. Wonderful.

I mean, the ice queen seems to like it.

I so did not miss you people.

Oh my gosh, she really does like it.

What? When? And warmed your heart while you were gone.

Hey, you make it sound like I used to be terrible. Nah.

Just a lot to deal with at once.

Mm hm. It's been a long time.

We've all grown in our own ways.

You really think so? Well, think back

to when we were all at beacon.

Would you say you ever did anything foolish or embarrassing,

or do you think you were perfect? Oh, gosh.

I may have been a little too gung ho from time to time.

You. I tried to one be one

and nevermore on the second day of school.

Yeah, well, don't even get me started.

Well, that embarrassment, that desire to go back

and tell yourself not to be so stupid.

That just proves you're not the same person you used to be.

You're smarter or kinder or stronger and you're

not done growing yet. None of us are.

Yeah. Turns out Ren gets real deep when he feels like talking.

Well, hold on, I thought I was pretty great in school.

Even at the dance when you spilled

punch all over yourself in front of.

Yes, especially the dance. Thank you.

Yang. I got six kids. Possibly make so much noise eating dinner.

So the maiden's magic. Salem, it's all true.

Uh, miss, how long is this? More

or less what your mother told you?

For the most part. You forgot something. You forgot to tell

everyone what you did to Crow and my mother.

What is she talking about? Oh, great.

That's not a secret. I thought she would give up so easily.

Your mother must trust you a great deal.

My ability to reincarnate, though a curse,

isn't without a few key benefits.

Much like the maidens, I too possess a certain magical power.

Using this power, I was able to gift

the Bronwyn twins the ability to see more,

to move freely and be unburdened by their natural bodies. I well

gave them the ability to turn into birds.

Rather ridiculous sounding out loud, isn't it? Wait, what? Uncle.

You turn them into birds. All right,

now you're just messing with us.

What else is new? He's telling the truth.

We saw it. Yang's mom changed right in front of us.

Why would you do something like that?

I mean, what is wrong with you?

Yang. That's enough. We made a choice. We wanted this.

May I?

Granting this power to them was no trivial task.

And I can assure you it was not done frivolously.

I required assistance in gathering information on Salem's plans,

as well as searching for maidens when their hosts became unclear.

Okay, so have you done this with

others like General Ironwood or Professor Goodwitch?

As helpful as that might be, unfortunately, it is not that simple.

My power is finite and if I'm being honest, dwindling.

The amount that I gifted to Crow

and Raven was, all things considered, rather minuscule.

You see, centuries ago I sacrificed a great

deal of magic to four young women

who I hoped would use my gift for good.

They were the first maidens.

Michelle Long. It was never my intention to lie

to you, to any of you.

There are just some matters that I prefer

to play close to the chest.

I believe that's how you phrased it.

Yeah. Everyone has a choice. The Bronwen's

chose to accept their powers and the responsibilities that came with them.

And later, one of them chose to abandon

her duties in favor of her own self interests.

Now all of you have a choice.

If anyone wishes to leave, now is the time.

There is no shame or disgrace in abstaining. Only in retreat.

Very well then.

Yang. If Ruby sticks around, then I will too.

If there's one thing I know about her,

it's that she somehow always knows the right thing to do.

But if we're going to help. If we're

going to keep risking our lives.

No more lies. No more half truths.

Understood?

So what now? I mean, what can we do? Hmm.

That is a difficult question, one that

I believe is best answered tomorrow.

What do you mean? The road ahead

is undoubtedly filled with hardships and peril.

However, it has been far too long

since you have all been together.

Please take tonight. Enjoy this moment.

Oh. Raven. Crow.

The cracked it.

Hey, ugly.

Is Raven Bronwyn home? Oh, you know,

I've had a real bad week, so I think

I'm going to take it out on you.

Huh? Doesn't look like he wants to cooperate, boss.

Then make him. I was hoping you'd say that.
