Hold It In (RWBY/Transistor)

[PsyFarrow]

To be sure, that was Creme that we just had a date hung out with. Ada is the one who lost the eye to the crazy serial killer and can go ghost. She is cute too, but not fluffy tail tier cute IMO.

TBH the absolute lack of interest turns me away from Creme. She just ain't interested, gotta respect that.

[X] Threads- get new clothes, because that Pumpkin Pete's hoodie is an atrocity to both fashion and also been Reboot()ed enough times that there isn't just none of the original material left, there's none of the third iteration left.
[X] WEAPONS- Gimme a small weapon. A handgun, a sword, a mace, nothing Ruby or Nora-sized, either the girls or the weapons. This is just the base template for the weapon, we'll work out nitty gritty system stuff later.
-[X] Mechashift Armour- The perfect mix of attack and defence. Literally unbeatable. Or, it'll rip half the skin on your arm off. Better than coinflip chance.
If it was stupid but it worked, it was never really stupid. Sure we're taking on risk in developing it, but with the help of the Process I figure we can make it work.

The offered picture is amazing so I am going to go with sword to fit.

Considering that Creme actually managed to play it cool after surprise kissing Jaune, I think that Bracket might be wrong for once and Mrs. Mai could be on to something. She may not be full on crushing, but at the same time she doesn't seem to be completely disinterested. Moreover, it doesn't seem to be a good point for anyone to actually get into an actual relationship; they each have problems they need to address and Beacon is about to start. But we've already voted for team JACL (or whatever it's officially named), so we'll get plenty more time to see their relationships develop while they sort things out.

 

[Karugus]

Sword and Shield didn't actually fall out of use because of armor, it fell out of use because of the skill floor. Spearmen and crossbowmen are easy to train, knights are significantly harder. But, for combat against an unintelligent opponent (IE, a Grimm), a shield is actually super useful because they can't conceive of avoiding its defense more effectively than you can use it as a defense.

In other words, if a Beowulf or Borbatusk or Nevermore is always going to take the option its instincts demand, it's easy to block, and easy to use that block to your advantage, because a Grimm isn't going to be able to exploit your own openings anywhere near as well as you exploit its openings. You can develop muscle memory for "block Beowulf" or "parry Nevermore feather" and not have to think about it. That means we're less likely to be caught flat-footed and need an emergency Turn() to save our butts, because using Turn() when we haven't explicitly decided to use Turn() is a very bad thing, tactically, since it removes Turn() and most of our Functions from our list of options. It's an incredibly powerful tool but we can be forced to apply it in a suboptimal manner.

Also, I kinda want to try and make a hybrid shield/cannon because Jaune is actually kinda swole and can spontaneously generate ammunition, if not necessarily propellant, for such.

Don't you guys want to punch a Deathstalker in the face with a literal fucking cannon?

But also mechashift armor... I mean, we have the technology.

It fell out of use because armor already covered the defensive benefits from a shield and the means bypass armor demanded polearms and two handed weapons. The advent of affordable munition plate killed the shield as readily as the decline of knights.

And as for being able to casually place the shield between Grimm attackers, it's explicitly a thing where Grimm get more intelligent as they age, to the point of circling a city waiting for vulnerabilities before launching an assault. Furthermore a shield can always only block a limited amount of angles of attack- that's decidedly unideal when your standard method of fighting is to be loose ordered infantry almost always outnumbered.

And when you aren't outnumbered you're dealing with massive creatures with enough momentum that blocking could very well break your arm and still be overpowered. Now- that would still suck in armor, because all those things still stand but at least armor can be designed to be impact resistant- the way a shield is mounted means its inherently going to place a lot of stress on the arm of it's wielders.

All that being said, this is RWBY where things like conservation of momentum, leverage, and things like that are at best paid lip service to- so my whining is really more rooted in a desire to see something different a belief it doesn't fit this Jaune to favor a defensive style over concerns of realism.

Again, this is the man who promised to rebuild the moon on a drunken whim. Mechashift armor will be made and the world will like it! One way or another.

presumably since the recent chapter and Creme messing with us.

Also, have you heard the word of our lord and savior Mecha-shift armor?

Yes, I changed my vote to it. We could make something like the Iron Man armor from Infinity Wars/Endgame with the Process's nano-machines, and we could even get extra style points if we have it Process White normally but turn Bad Cell Black in serious combat.

I have a sudden moment of clarity. This is like the fics that burn naruto orange jumper. It's assassinating a character for meaningless "cool" factor as if all protagonists should be the same bland heroic dude.

Let my man be a dork !

Actually, while I don't know if it was intentional, the orange jumpsuit in Naruto isn't a horrible idea. I haven't tested myself, but from what I've heard in low light scenarios the color orange is hard as shit to see.

I wonder if Jaune and Weiss will sing a duet after we beat the serial killer or something.

Also, a thought. Les Mis doesn't need to be on the French revolution and could possibly, maybe, be adapted to the Faunus Rights Revolution or another Remnant historical period.

All in favor of trying to get Jaune into Drama Club so we can have him sing Empty Chairs at Empty Tables? He's gonna need to get out of his shell eventually if he's gonna change the world like he wants, better to do it in a safe environment.

Beacon is a combat school, I sorta doubt that they have a drama club when it's that specialized.

I think it's important to note here, that Les Miserables is not set during the French Revolution, but roughly thirty years later. The events take place around and during the June Rebellion, or Paris Uprising of 1832, a failed anti-monarchist revolt.
Personally I think a (failed) student uprising in Mantle when the government began to crack down on emotion would be a pretty great fit.

Much as I like Creme, I'm still shipping Jaune with Weiss in this one. I like Jaune and Creme's friendship a lot, but don't want to see it progress beyond being a good friendship. Jaune and Weiss, on the other hand, seem to have a sort of chemistry in this Quest that I find positively entertaining and appealing.

@Prok do Process (and/or Transistor) have souls? Can they have Aura awakened?

{SWEET DUST JUST START A FUCKING COMPANY ALREADY. GODS.}

My major problem with this is being too close to slavery. Ancilliary problem is that the previous problem might cause Faunus Rights Activists to decide to come stab a bitch.

On the other hand I'm starting to realize that Jaune's protagonist lifestyle means he may not be the best parent/rolemodel for Process.

 

[RoninSword]

I have seen in fics before that Beacon has both a combat track and a non-combat track, is that just fanon? Just seems like a really large campus if the entering year we see in canon is the average intake size each year.
