The Winter's Warning
You could barely hide your disappointment when your father sat at the door, with a cup of tea. He was not with Klien or any other servant, but a spot of tea was ready, freshly brewed, and prepared for.
"You have no idea how difficult you have made everything, did you know that?" He said as you sat, kicking your feet up, making him glare at you in anger. "And you have forgotten your manners as well?"
"Oh I haven't forgotten father, in fact, I'm doing everything in my power to make you even madder than my very existence."
"Do you think I believe in you so little that I do not care for you?" He said, gritting his teeth. "I have done everything in my power to make sure you could uphold the Schnee name, and so you would have a choice in what you wish to do with your life!"
He…
He said those words to your face without a hint of irony in them.
Was he blind, deaf… or just like mother? A Drunk who did not care for you, only for… something else entirely. An uncaring force that only worried about… what he wanted, rather than what you wanted, or what was good and proper.
"You dare say those words to me father?" you asked. "After everything, you think you have the right to say such words to me? How I had a choice?"
You chuckled before showing a glyph in your hand. "I never had a choice. Not from you. Ever since I left, I have found out what I am, who I am, and why I am who I am. And you know something? It's because of you."
Your father frowned, but he said nothing. He furrowed his brow, and clenched his fist, but said something. "You are the worst thing in my life. You have been a cruel and abusive fucker, who has taken every good thing in my life, and ruined it. I only became better because I chose to look into the past. Look to someone who is better."
"Nicholas Schnee was a coward in the end. And he lacked vision." Your… father said as he set the tea down. "Your mother would know that better than anyone."
You froze. Before you gritted your teeth. "Father. I will not come back."
"You do not have a choice."
"That is where you are wrong father." You heard the familiar voice of Winter before you smiled and saw her march in with a squad of her comrades.
She was in full… whatever uniform she usually wore on missions, her sword was on her side. "Since Whitley is now a student of Sanctum, he needed a legal guardian to place him in there. I gave him my signature." She replied.
You were stone-faced. You didn't get her signature! Hell, you had just played a sad sob story about dead parents and Chiron just let you in. Though you suspected he knew more… but if he had, you did not notice.
"You did what!?" Father said. "You are out of your legal bounds!"
"No, I am not. Acting as commander of the Argus Garrison, I have been granted several levels of authority of a government official of Atlas. Including that of a judge." She stated.
Your father paled. "You-"
"If I wanted to Father, you would go to prison for the rest of your life, if not executed for Treason," Winter replied. "The only reason I have not said anything yet to General Ironwood, is because my testimony would not be sufficient. But Whitley's?" She glared at you.
"You would not dare." Father started.
"Leave Father, because if I chose to arrest you… you would never see daylight again." She threatened.
You never thought you would be scared for your father. But the ice in your sister's eyes was colder than… well anything you had ever seen before.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Give me one reason not to send you back to Atlas?" Winter said as her troops were gone and you were alone.
"Besides father?" You snarked, earning a glare from her.
"This is serious Whitley. I could lose my job for sticking up to you." She stated. "I have already lied for you, if father decides to look deeper, you could get deported, or worse."
"Yeah, the first time that ever happened." You snarked again, this time earning a slap. "Ow!"
"I always cared for you Whitley, but you chose to go chasing after a ghost instead of trying to find something that was you!" She stated.
"Well, I'm tired of everyone thinking I have to be me!" You shouted. "So why do you think that Grandfather isn't a dream worth emulating!"
Then Winter said something that surprised you. "Because I'm afraid!"
"What?" You whispered.
"I'm afraid that I couldn't be worthy of you." She said, "I ran because of mother, and father… But I would have stayed if you had just asked. If Weiss had just asked. I couldn't live with myself knowing I abandoned you two." She wiped the sole tear from her eye. "I-..."
You found the words for her. "We were all afraid, in some fucked up family… with fucked up parents, too afraid to talk to each other, and finally reveal that we care," you said bitterly. "What the hell is wrong with us?"
That made Winter Laugh. "Just a few snowflakes, trying to find our way in the world."
You laughed. "Thank you Winter."
"Always." She said with a smile, before kissing your forehead. "Stay safe kiddo. And if you need anything, just ask."
You nodded. "Thank you.
Reward: Jacques can no longer take you home. Jacques has a warrant for his arrest if he steps out of Atlas Proper.
Winter offers to help if you just ask.

Smarter, Stronger, Faster, Harder: Choose your Adventure
You looked at Adam and Emerald and frowned. "No." You stated.
"You promised you would help my people, and these are the options to help them." Adam replied very frustratedly by your continued defiance of his… "Very good ideas"
"Corporate espionage is nice and grey, siphoning funds from government contracts into false accounts, and making Faunus workers quit by the trainload thanks to our competitive wages and better conditions. That is what I meant by how I would help them. That takes time, money, and investors. Not acts of terrorism." You replied, trying your best to not burst a blood vessel in your head. "And considering I'm the only one actually making money for this company, I'm the one who decides what our product is."
You then turned to Emerald "We are also not a criminal organization, no matter how much my father believes we are. We can't just go around stealing valuable artifacts in museums to sell them to collectors at profit!"
"Your no fun." Emerald replied.
"I have fun, by my idea of fun, is sticking it to my father, who is trying very hard to run us out of business. So we need to come up with a new money-making strategy that will not allow my father to fuck us over." You replied.
"We could always go to the Academies, try and beg for a Guilds License?" Adam asked.
"Do you know how hard it is to get, let alone, maintain a guild's license Adam?" You asked.
Silence met you. The two of them really did not understand... These idiots need an education. "A guild requires a minimum of 5 huntsmen, all of which we are not, or are in training. We must do 500 missions a year. We must make over 500 million Lien a year. We must donate to the hunters' war chest for academy renovation and times of crisis and insurance. Why do you think guilds don't really exist. The system was designed for hunters to be free and independent, that's why it's so expensive."
"How come no other company has tried? The SDC certainly has the cash?" Emerald asked.
"Because, it's cheaper to hire individual huntsmen than just forming your own guild." You stated.
Adam and Emerald remained quiet. "So… What do you plan to do?" Adam asked.
"Well, I have a few Adventures planned for fun and profit." You replied.
"Fun and Profit?" Emerald asked confused.
"Of course. If you can't make a profit off it, make sure it's fun, if it's not fun, make a profit. That's what Pappy always said!" You replied.
What is your Adventure?:
[]The Blackjack Heist: Cima Greenfield, the Pirate queen, has come to you with a job. She wants to take down a rival. She also really likes it and says if you help her, she'll give you an Airship… the Blackjack… One of the largest Airships made my Mistral. (Starts, the Blackjack Arc)
[]Players and Pieces: Ozpin has hired you to… meet with him. Why? (Starts: Players and Pieces Arc)
[]To Seek Fortune: There are rumors that there is a massive dust deposit in the Northern Mountains of Anima, within the great snowfields of the Lion Hills. You are going to find it. (Starts: The Fortune Arc)
[]The Black Dog: Marcus Black… The Semblance Stealer. His head is mighty fine bounty. Perhaps you can gain some rep, bringing him in. 10 million lien is not a small number. And then it would make Frostbite Solutions, and its employees, sought after Commodities (Starts: The Black Dog Arc)
[]The Bird of Branwen: The Branwen Bandit Tribe, led by the masked Monster Raven Branwen. The Bounty on her head is almost 500 million now… and this one comes from Ozpin himself. (Starts: The Bandit Queen Arc)
[]The AAUG: The Anti Atlas Union Group, a new political party has just come to you, asking for your financial support… for a Monarchist Coup. Might as well hear them out, they did bring half the… Who the fuck are these weirdos? (Starts: The Coup Arc)

Adams semblance is busted and he's the strongest fighter, Pyrrha is a Martial Prodigy who's semblance can take away any weapons Marcus has. And Emerald can just mess with his senses too prevent him from stealing ours or getting a hit in.
The only potential problem is Mercury, who's a wildcard, either he'll help his dad or help us instead. Though if he remains out of it then things should go smoothly.

Well, crud. That's a lot of good choices.
So with all of that said, it comes down to the Airship, Oz, and the Blacks. Personally, I'm kind of leaning towards the Airship at the moment.
An airship would certainly be helpful.
I'm not really sure what Oz wants with us, but I would like to do this. The problem is I don't think we can afford to take it over some of the other options.
Promising, but, in my opinion, low priority at the moment. Most of the other options are too good to justify this right now.
Another one I would really like to do, since this would be a massive derail if it succeeds. Key word: if. This could very easily go horribly wrong, and I'm not sure it's worth the risk right now.
Not just no, but hell no. This is completely out of our league right now even if Raven isn't the Spring Maiden yet.
Also no. It's just not worth it right now, if at all. Also, @Magoose, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Atlas, not Atlus.
So with all of that said, it comes down to the Airship, Oz, and the Blacks. Personally, I'm kind of leaning towards the Airship at the moment.

I like Adam or Pyrrha but maybe we should make use of Nora and Rens rediculous cooperation bonuses. At the very least swap out emerald for blake. I'm not sure how good emeralds combat skills are without Cinder training her up, and blake is at least used to Adams fighting style. It gives us two pairs of fighters familiar woth what there partner is capable of instead of a loose group who have never fought together before outside pyrrha and Whitley.

Dude, my reasoning for Emerald is that she has a very powerful semblance that will be able too disable Marcus and prevent him from stealing our Semblance by fighting him at a distance.
Also, I highly doubt its just Cinder thats the reason she's such a competent fighter, they met at most 6 months ago in canon and she was easily a second year level at Beacon

I think it's a gamble how effective it could be when he could easily have a sensory semblence she isn't accounting for, but oh well.

Honestly, if Mercury alone could defeat him, we should be fine
