The dark screen of the scroll turned on bright revealing Ruby adjusting the camera on her scroll to record her. She sat in the empty RWBY dorm room in one of the study desks. She had a stack of white pages face down in front of her.
Once she decided the scroll was straight enough she sat in her chair normally. "Hello! Welcome to the first ever episode of.." Ruby picked up the first paper. "Ruby's Mystery Corner!"
She exhibited her art piece to the camera. It was drawn with markers and it was probably made in a rush. It depicted a stick figure Ruby surrounded by question marks and the title of the series in red marker.
She put aside the title card to the right. "Today's episode is," she pulled up another title card. "Jaune's Semblance!"
The title card, much like the previous one, was drawn in marker. It depicted a circle with some yellow lines at the top so one had to assume it was either Jaune or a blonde grim.
Ruby put the second title card up. "Now, fact time! We know that Jaune had his Aura unlocked during initiation. We also know that He has yet to unlock his Semblance." Ruby listed off the "facts" on her fingers.
"I know what you're thinking," Ruby held up her hand and revealed a paper bag with googly eyes and a cut-out of white paper in the shape of Weiss' hairstyle. Her attire was similar to Weiss' but it was made out of colored construction paper.
"Ruby! Why are you telling me all this I already knew this!" Ruby opened the bag's mouth whilst trying to ventriloquist Weiss-puppet's lines in a slightly lower tone than she usually did.
"I'm glad you asked Weiss! See in the past few days a new development has arisen!" Ruby put down the paper bag Weiss and lifted a paper up.
"Over the past week, Jaune was being coerced to hang out with Cardin and his friends instead of hanging out with us!"
The drawing this time depicted a sad Jaune on the ground while Cardin held up a dark rectangle (Black Mail) and team RWBY and NPR were all around a rectangle of their own.
Ruby set the card down. "This all came to a stop when Jaune kicked an Ursa's butt in front of Cardin, saving him! But not before Cardin tried to punch him! This was deflected and in turn hurt Cardin!" Ruby excitedly said.
"Now that might be our clue! With this we might be able to find out Jaune's Semblance!" Ruby picked up the remaining papers and straightened them.
She looked at the camera, serious mode activated. "I have since then made many theories as to what Jaune's Semblance might be." She turned the paper around.
It depicted Jaune being in cased in light. "Theory number one: Aura Armor! Super strong and deflects enemy attacks." She flipped the card and there was another drawing.
"Theory number two! Blinding flash!" this one was just a silhouette of yellow. "He blinds enemies and hurts them so much, they're confused where the pain comes from!" she flipped to the last picture.
"And finally number three! Rubber man!" the last drawing showed Jaune's face being punched by Cardin and arrows pointing from Jaune's face back to Cardin's arm. "All kinetic force Jaune's body receives gets sent back to it's source with double the force!"
Ruby, finished explaining the theories, set the paper's down. "Now dear viewer the only way to find out is by doing so we're going to test the theories out!"
Ruby then went to adjust the camera. The video stops abruptly but then opens to a similar note from the beginning with Ruby adjusting the camera. This time however, she's wearing sunglasses. She is in the dorms hallway.
After getting the camera as straight as it'd get she whispered into it. "Okay, Jaune will walk out of the staircase any minute now. I'll administer the test, with his consent, and then we'll see which of the three theories is right."
Steps could be heard in the background. "He's coming! Alright, act cool." She said to the camera
She stepped away from the camera and got to the entrance of the staircase.
"Hey Jaune!" she greeted. So far so good.
"Hey Rubes!" he greeted back. "Why are you wearing sunglasses inside?"
Ruby looked visibly nervous. "Uh…about that. Jaune can you help me with something?" Ruby asked the blonde.
"Sure! Anything you need I'll do it!" Jaune naively said. You always ask what it is before you agree.
"That's great!" Ruby jumped in excitement. "This is gonna be so great! You ready?"
"Uh sure?" Jaune nervously agreed.
Ruby in one swift motion reeled her fist back and then threw a punch at Jaune's torso. It connected and sent him backwards into the stairs he just climbed. 12 individual bumps, thumps, and owch's later and Jaune was back on the first floor, unconscious.
Ruby panicked. She hadn't counted on none of the theories working. She quickly used her semblance to run away. Leaving behind the camera to record Team JNPR (minus Jaune) rushing out their dorm and down the stairs.
The screen then cuts to Ruby hiding in a dark room with loud banging in the background.
"This has been another episode of Ruby's Mystery Corner!"
The banging intensified outside. "Ruby! I know you're in there open up!" Pyrrha could be heard outside.
"Join us next week when we discuss what's actually in Blake's bookcases."
The door she was hiding behind clicked ominously and then the video feed cut off.
