Hold It In (RWBY/Transistor)

... I'm confused. Why do we need to write glyphs by hand when we'll always have an AI on hand (cause if we don't we'll be in the throes of a migraine that at best "merely" leaves us catatonic anyway).

Let's dew it, Glyphcraft seems really useful. And cool.
I always love pics that show how much of a badass Oz actually is when he wants to be.
Can we have the Transistor project the Glyphs we want to use as holograms? Would that even work?
Though, even if it does, we should still learn to use them without needing to rely on the Transistor. Just in case, cause you never know.
So Oz is being Dumbledore I see.

I assume that the reason Jaune had to handwrite the runes is due to some mystical reason; perhaps by directly writing the runes, you take ownership of them? It would explain why Weiss can use her semblance to make them.
I'm guessing that having the Transistor project the runes for him is a step too far in the abstraction process. However, as Jaune's mind runs on the Transistor during Turn(), it's worth checking if projecting the runes during Turn() is close enough mystically.

Yang being appreciative is nice! Blake's reaction is quite the point of interest. Eager to see how that pans out, especially with what Jaune knows about her.
Faunus prejudice sucks. If only the Grimm fed on racial bias instead of people.
Electives are cool, I'm pretty curious about guerrilla gardening now.
Creme putting more stuff on Jaune is only fair for all that tail-touching. Not very slick Jaune lmao
"Professor Qrow" is only going to complicate Jaune's life. I predict an embarrassing story or near-death experience. Hopefully both!

These minor but constant shifts in font/sizes for no particular reason is really starting to gall me.

It's not for no reason. Jaune consistently speaks in a slightly lower font size than everything else is written, to symbolize how he's very quiet and soft spoken. And the use of Courier by the Transistor is pretty neat - I think it works well.

Why, no, I can't resist the lure of comedy.

Kinda want to find out how Jaune met Qrow in the past, honestly. My initial thought was he recognised the guy due to similarity to Ruby, but that wouldn't work as Ruby is his niece, not daughter.

There is neither an upside nor a downside to either option, I weighed them both in terms of how they could play out, and the end result was that both options are entirely valid both for future interactions and in terms of this quest's continuity, since I've never once mentioned Qrow yet, and I was so desperate to not have this update hoon past the 10k mark that I just said fuck it and made it the vote for the moment.
It's not quite pure flavour for the quest, so much as 'do you want a freebie for this social link?'
Mainly because writing things down by hand is a damn good way of memorising things, even for someone like Jaune who basically has a second brain entirely for remembering things floating behind him at all times, at least in part because it refuses flat-out to help him cheat on things like this- it was agreed, a long time ago, that Jaune had to earn his way through Signal, and eventually, Beacon. Just cheating his way through would be a hollow victory through and through.
More to the point, there's a reason she specified create when queried about the final test of the semester- so long as you focus on learning the rules behind Glyphcraft, there's nothing stopping you from finding an alternate method of creating the actual circle when the time comes.
Cheating to get ahead in academics is very different from cheating to get around your own physical limitations.
Fixed, thank you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The font size change was way more subtle before the whole forum moved over to Xenforo's newer version, that's my only defence. Beyond that, it's my style and I'm sticking to it, for the reasons Redshirt mentioned.

I'm fine with Jaune doing runes by hand during class if it helps him learn, for which there are plenty good both psychological (writing helps memorization, that's just a fact) and metaphysical (doing it by hand may count as more "direct" in whatever spooky magical soul sense that matters) justifications in this case.
In the field, he'll presumably use the Transistor to deploy them instead as an outrageous cheat the instant he gets that working, but that comes later.

Hmm. We have some degree of ability to directly manipulate Processed matter, right? Or like, its shape, at least. Wonder if we could just keep a ball of the stuff on hand, or have it flash-assimilate small amounts if needed, and then use *that* to create the glyphs...
EDIT: are our outfits made of Processed matter imitating the materials? If not, why didn't we do that again?

Sounds like we'll be able to try to set up an internal Glyph Library for Jaune to have the Transistor project/display/engrave with plasma.
