I want to know why Saff and Emi got called, Ada's perspective as she is the one who went "why are you all so OP?!" iirc and see if Salem got the girl.

So, we're saving our Fate Points until we can buy The Process item right?

So... "Literally who" (random classmate?)
Saff and Emi
Salem and his waifu
Ada
Cream
Lumen
Forcing you to write the nursing scene

I'm guessing Emi got called in with Saff because she was the knee-capper?

(Honestly though, you can skip straight to the Signal graduation ceremony with references to what happens in these interludes and open up the pre-Beacon events)

That said!

Thinking love birds may be Salem and his crush, really curious to how that went.

In Transistor, the man trapped inside referred to himself as "Mr. Nobody". I'm guessing this interlude is about ours.

Nobody, not sure where comma A came from, is a very specific interlude I'm hellbent on writing so people can't claim I'm throwing random sidequests at them outta nowhere later on, and NURSE SCENE OR WE RIOT is a nurse scene, just not with Jaune, because I honestly wasn't kidding when I said I couldn't figure out how to make that scene interesting. Even just skimming over it came across as boring as all hell, and frankly, considering the last update was pretty much just the speech I got at the end of every exam modified to fit a combat school, that's saying something.

... Look, I'll be honest. Like, super honest here.

I cannot make this next scene interesting to save my life, and after all that up above, that's saying something, so, interlude time. It's forced, yeah, but trust me, whatever I come up with here, it's better than the alternative.

If you are having trouble with a scene, have you considered a minor timeskip? Just skip the scene, continue writing what happens after it with a few sentences worth of references to say what happened during the skip. It also allows you to pull stuff out of your ass whenever convenient and just relegate plot to timeskip. "Oh, this new character I don't know how to introduce? You met him during timeskip. Yeah, you met in a cafe while celebrating. They impressed you with a trick with a pineapple. It was pretty great all around, you are now aquaintances."
 
So in order to remove one of my votes and add another I do this, right?

Edit: I still don't know how votes work apparently.

@Prok Since we are going to be spending time with Teal would we be able to get an opportunity to maybe have a write in where we could vote that Jaune decided to spend a few hours with her to copy her healing semblance? Because frankly a healing power is just way too useful to pass up.

Aight. Though, since you're offering the players a selection of interludes it might be better to consider interludes you want to write as rewards for good behavior/clever plans/fan content. Incentivize everyone, as it were, since if the Nobody interlude fails here you're back where you started.

Still on my first playthrough, Dirk-on-the-ship's 3rd stage is not good for my blood pressure.

I'll be perfectly honest, this is probably the one thread on this forum that has a non-zero chance of getting it, because man I explore some niche stuff. It's the result of me fleshing out one thing- one person in the notes for this quest, and that getting way out of hand.

That's what this is. The interludes are just a way for me to... refresh myself, so I don't get too fatigued looking at everything through several Jaune-shaped glasses.

Not that I am, but prevention is the best cure.

I crave other viewpoints. They sustain me.

No, you just edit your old post. Just checking with the vote tally, you're now only voting for The Nobody.

... I'll be honest, I was just gonna assume you people weren't... be polite, Prok- overconfident enough to pass up access to a healing power, and act as if you'd all voted to anyway. But, sure, fair point.

I mean, I'm going to write it anyway, it's just a matter of whether or not I'm focusing on it for an update slot or just as an extra thing.

Besides, it's currently in second place. I'm not worried. I've apparently piqued people's interest in who Nobody is.

Wait you were going to do that anyway? If that's the case I think you should go along with it anyway. I mean Jaune has a rare opportunity to gain a healing power and I don't see why'd he'd pass that up. Especially after he had his legged wrecked which would have been fatal if this against grimm at the time.
 
@Prok
Hmm...how do I say this...Transistor is a special game for me.
To me, it's not a perfect game. It's got some details and quite frankly I felt completely blueballed when I played the NG+ (WHERE ARE MY LEVEL FOUR ENEMIES SUPERGIANT GAMES!? WHERE ARE THEY!?), but for some reason, I always have it in mind. If the story wasn't so goddamn vague and I was handling less projects, I'd love to make a quest or a fic dealing with it.

There's just something about it that haunts me in a very strange yet not unpleasant way.
And the soundtrack? Christ, I've caught myself humming The Spine and In Circles every now and then.

To be honest, I know jackshit about RWBY. I'm here because I saw the word Transistor, really.

Weird thing is, I had somebody with the exact opposite problem a couple pages back.

Also I'm just hoping that I can do it justice, honestly. I have plans for this quest. And I'm going to see them through if it kills me, because this is the first quest that... I've actually planned out.

I don't know why that sticks in my head so often, that this is the first quest I've put honest effort into planning out, but it is, and that's...

It deserves to be finished.

I gotta admit, as much as I really enjoyed the test and how things went... Holy shit, I'm so happy it's over now. This isn't a complaint towards you or your story, I'm just impatient in everything to get past the "prologue" as quickly as humanly possible.

Want to know what's up with the team. I don't mind if other options win, though.
 
[X] Couple Of Lovebirds
[X] Doe, A Deer, A Female Deer

...I am unusually interested in the shiny's of the fate shop. Curse you OP!

That being said, Lovebirds because I want to see that pay off and or a girl swoon for Moss. Doe, because I like Creme and I hope we get to see her POV.

Nobody because I'm all for quick interludes so either it's the transistor's POV(awesome) or we skip the interlude(plot progression, yay!).
