It does have really high heels tho, which are NOT fun to wear, hard to move in, and cause permanent damage to your feet.

Between better tech and aura they can hand wave it. Especially since those are mechashift heels, and clearly oversized enough that the internal position of the foot likely doesn't match the surface shape.
Assuming those are boots. Dishwasher1910 has a thing for cybernetics.

It's really beautiful, dishwasher1910 makes really good fan arts, in fact I remember he made one of the RWBY team grimm version and wow, it left me speechless.
you're right about that
So Blake mugged Cinder for her dress, dyed it black but kept the pants.
Truly she has become a jrpg heroine.
Considering this is an adult Blake I think she rather took a trophy from her prey (considering the dress is the only thing worthwhile about Cinder) and then painted it black.

Robo, that is basically the textbook definition of a Hero…
*wiggles hand*
not quite? Robo was programmed to study humans.
You can't study them if their dead. He simply devalued the importance of listening to Mother, or internally defined her as a different individual.
'Burn the bridge home', a Megaman Fanfic, does a good job at looking into Robot Sapiences
Extraneous 'To'
Isn't the saying 'by a landslide'?
This feels like it's incomplete, to me…
With how the time gates opened before Lavos's arrival, it makes sense that it absorbed some of Lavos's ability, enabling it to direct the part to the appropriate points in time.
We already know it was full of energy when it arrived - the healing water stops being Available (in-story, it stops working) after Lavos arrives.
Said water was the reason the village didn't need healer!
When did lightning get launched?
On the other hand, one could say its short for 'a Semblance of Magic'
Did we ever get an explanation for why it echoed across time?
This should be 'and me' - as in, "the teacher taught [the others and] me" - rule of thumb is to use whichever you would use with just a singular individual.
again, 'and me' - "the others were on a team with me"
For a moment, I thought this was set after being sent through time.
can you just imagine the headache Masa & Mune experienced as they had thier history altered? Before the party interfered, I don't think it was stabbed into the Mammon Machine?
The greater power transfer would explain why/how the Masamune II exists.
I think this should be 'it'
Can we get updated versions, or at least what we would search for?
I know it's already an AU, but that's different from having the Staff of Creation, which in canon was what let Atlaa float
"What happened to me" -
me
Well… depending on how canon you consider the additions the DS remake has"s…
Extraneous word
But she already got to her feet?
(Above referencing this)
Move to the beginning? This sounds awkwardly phrased
Isn't this 'Guardia'?
Another pedestrian use? SUBTITLES!
just, you know, like this but without the actual signs
And me, based on the sentence it would be part of.
Atlas has the Winter Maiden… would she agree?
There are two people who I'd say are as INTENTIONALLY TOXIC to their children (which is why someone like Gabriel Agreste (miraculous Ladybug) or Shadow Weaver (She-ra) isn't quite at this level, if just barely) - Ragyo & Gendo Ikari.
After all, the second is the reason the 'Gendou Ikari Lifetime Achievement Award for Parenting'
Reminds me of the Fishmen from One Piece.
Interesting note - a gut feeling is your brain taking a snapshot of everything and comparing it to all your past experiences for something similar.
The question I have is how he got transported across the distance.
Maybe a canon omake, with an 'after action report' and/or briefing others on the new type of Grimm encountered?
I wonder if we could visit that location while in the past, before returning.
It sounds like Obsidian bridged the gap between the voices?
I wonder what that light was?
An interesting note - the way the two are described acting sounds like the story Qrow told about the Brother Gods…
Reminds me of the series 'Young Wizardry'
Like the brother gods creating people.
'Destruction through creation' as a mirror to the Grimm
While thier enemies also Do Things, it's also true of our Allied Units (to make a comparison to Fire Emblem) are able to take actions.
Maybe we could get a peek at what they've been up to?
You're forgetting the rarest one - Unclassed.
Alternatively, Obsidian would be a Moon Cancer (the explanation would be because the amount of Data needed to simulate her would be too large for the Moon Cell)

YOU WHO HAVE GATHERED THE SEVEN DRAGONBALLS —
Oh. You're just quoting me to make a point. I was so confused, because I didn't remember ever touching this thread.
In any case, yes, I'll agree: if you don't have a headache, you haven't sufficiently grasped time travel, yet. That's, like, step five on the "I now understand time travel" punch card: "Acquire migraine."

I'm away from my computer so I can't go through all the individual edit suggestions, but here's some answers:
Yes. He creatively interpreted his programming in order to subvert the intention behind it, something that would not have been possible without true sapience.
Thus the phrasing.
That's the flickering. There was some time fuckery going on there as the proto-Gate kept churning away, leading to some hiccups in the timeline.
It was very close to being a Time Crash kind of scenario, but it stabilized and settled before it could get that bad.
See:
She jumped forward Ayla-style on all fours, then pulled herself upright using the shield as leverage.
*waggling hand*
It's "the line of Guardia" which could be said either way. In this case Marle is using it descriptively rather than as a proper noun, thus "Guardian."

That's... that's impossible!
Except it should be "He and I" if it's a subject and "Him and me" if it's an object.

Actually, he didn't really subvert the intention behind it (because he was made by Mother BEFORE she went crazy)
Also: you can learn about someone/something without attributing value/worth to them.
In other words, he was doing exactly what he was designed to do.
(I may not be phrasing things the best way)
The real choice comes when there are conflicting programs/directives. A method a good AI will use to counter act Issamov'a Three Laws - they were a thought experiment, not ever intended as a solution. spent the REST of the book pointing out all the issues with them.

Not to mention, breaking the timeline might just be one off the few things that could permanently kill him, which he may want at this point.
Now I am concerned that Ozpin may decide to pursue suicidal ideas, Ozpin I offer you this self-help book (on the cover of the book it says "Why causing time paradoxes is a bad idea to attempt suicide") I think you will find it interesting.
By the way, if we fail to parley with Ozpin how bad do you think the beating he's going to give us is going to be, because if I'm honest if the dialogue fails this situation either ends with our mortals biting dust or the official introduction of Shroud and Veil as characters (Because it's almost obvious that sword is like Masa and Mune, I will be very disappointed if in the end it's not the same as those two).

Judging by his research, this deadless state is his own fault.

You know, I don't know why, but those two videos reminded me of this.
Am I the only one who feels like crying when the second half of the music comes on?
And listening again to this beauty made me think that if ever in this quest we see Obsidian fighting with his ultimate power (imagine against the voice of grimm or something like that) this would play in the background.

And the final battle with Lavos has arrived!
It's interesting to note that in the musical, Lavos is outright pissed.
It sees what to it are essentially a bunch of cows fighting for their lives after developing for 65 million years, and in a way it is right.
Think about it. It's the reason humanity even exists in the chrono trigger universe. Without it, the reptites would have killed them in the prehistoric era. So in a way, they are its cattle.
They used its magic, they developed a culture and civilisation because of it, hell their own survival was paramount to it crashing at the right time.
And then, after 65 MILION YEARS, which is, mind you, a very long time for what is essentially a cattle farmer, it emerges to complete its life cycle, when a bunch of cows come and reach its core, its TRUE form.
I mean think about it. Imagine you're a farmer. You have your farm, your cattle herd, life is good. Then, one day, a group of cows just start going ballistic, breaking all your equipment, trying to kill you and just generally making a mess of things.
First you try to calm them down, and see what's up. Maybe they got sick? But no, they're fine. They just want to kill you.
Well then, maybe If you get on the tractor and make a bunch of noise they'll get scared and back off, I mean you're already behind schedule because these cows were to go to the local slaughterhouse and you don't have much time.
Then they break your tractor, and trash your house. Somehow.
At this point, you, the farmer, are very pissed off. How dare a bunch of cows just completely wreck everything you've built! That house was built by your grandpa and it's a pile of rubble! That's it, you say, I'm taking the shotgun and fixing this mess myself, mano a mano, no fancy tools or anything.
These fucking cows have been too much of a pain in the ass. They've ruined your equipment, your tractor, your HOUSE. Fuck the slaughterhouse. You're killing them yourself.
And then they murder you.
The farmer is Lavos by the way.
Obsidian: This is why you get your hooks in them early.
Lavos: ... Huh. Why didn't I think of that?
Obsidian: Because it requires actual planning.
Lavos: ... Respect your elders brat.
Obsidian: I'm disowning you, you are no longer one of 'my' elders.
Lavos: Big talk for someone in laser range.

Don't forget that after your cows murder you, you get back up and are forced to be a trash disposal unit eating rejected cow bits.
Because of this now I can't stop imagining Lavos as a father fed up with life and obsidian as the troubled teenager, why that mental image is so cute? I don't even know.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Lavos core is a fusion of all the species that he "harvested" right? in that case the Obsidean core would look like a human with many animal parts or a human with animal parts and grimm right?
I literally found the video that perfectly describes the quality of canon's writing vs. the quality of this quest.
what a pity that there is not one like this but of this specific quest.

Yes and no. The Core is "designed" based on what the specific entity in question considers best. The exact criteria of "best" as well as the options involved depend greatly on the particular entity.
Obsidian and Lavos have somewhat different palettes to paint their Cores from.
You know, it's funny.
I just recently added the main song (Megalith / Agnus Dei) to the playlist for this Quest, to potentially be used somewhere down the line. And as soon as I expanded the video, I knew what meme the video was going to be.
It's very flattering, actually, so thank you. For the laugh as well.
Anyway, quick update: Work on the next chapter continues to progress. Unfortunately, my fiancee had a near-miss in her car that led to some spinal issues; getting that sorted out took up most of my writing time for the last few weeks. She's better now, fortunately, and all is well, but it was a noteworthy setback.

There is actually a snip of this nature here, although it's incredibly dated (my god, this is from three years ago?? what) so I'd probably do some things differently today.
If I were going to redo it, besides doing a better job of writing Shardspeak and how they think, I'm no longer sure that Dinah is the correct choice for Arbiter.
Obsidian-in-Worm naturally takes place after the darkest part of Obsidian's own story – that is to say, in the wake of this particular Doomed Timeline where Blake is killed and Obsidian, full of grief and anger, annihilates Remnant. In light of this, I'd almost be tempted to give Glory Girl the slot – she has some of the perfect traits to remind Obsidian of the mortals she once had. Yang's bullheaded stubbornness, Ruby's curiosity, a bit of Weiss' (deserved) arrogance, and a dash of Blake's darkness. There's a lot of potential, there.
But there are other options, as well. Dinah is still a contender, although I think I'd place Obsidian's entry at a different place in the story. Probably during her captivity under Coil – maybe even in the middle of Leviathan's attack on the Bay, I'm not certain. Dinah post-Coil is a very different beast than pre-Coil.
Sure. Of course, this may potentially spoil future chapter music, so listen at your own risk, I suppose. Some of this is actual might-be-used music, and some of it is just there to help me get in a specific mood for certain chapters.
