[x] S L A P P

SUDDENLY, COSMIC HORROR

And then I'm fucking dying at S L A P P

Beautiful shit, mate.
Props to the sudden cosmic horror too, that was a nice bit of mood whiplash.
 
See, I like not being partnered because it gives us an incentive to socialize outside of our partnership and team. Keeps our social horizons broad instead of narrowing it down to always interacting with one other character.

Yeah, this. Gives Jaune an obvious incentive to interact with Weiss's team, and get involved in more of the story.
 
[X] Fake Smelling Salts- You can create up to seven distinct smells from your fingertips at will. One of 'em's gotta do the trick.

I'm gonna go with the closest equivalent to what the Cell says is the best idea. Blindfolding ourselves in a forest of Grimm is just asking for trouble.

As funny as it would be to slap him, I don't think it'll actually work...
 
The master telekinetic, Goodwitch, a huntress with nerves of steel who was right there and aware of what was happening didn't grab him/the pad? Wow, these are some fucking ruthless teachers.

I understand the appeal of a meme vote, but how about we don't attack the sysadmin while he's too unconscious to tell the nearby UberAI that it's not actually an attack.
Firstly, S L A P P is as serious a vote as any of the others, and secondly, the Process is well aware that Lumen means Jaune no harm, even if his methods are slightly more physical than they'd particularly like.

Trust me, they know a good backhand isn't going to do more than bruise his pride and maybe his cheek.

Why, Transistor? Why? Why did you think it was a good idea to poke some inexplicable, absurdly complex and powerful soul with a completely untested soul-poking-cannon without even discussing it with Jaune first, when just taking with Ozpin would have at least been an option?

Better yet, doing it literally right before being launched into a forest filled with Grimm in a major test without any aid from instructors?

Jesus Christ, they are never allowed to live this down.

Also, thank you very much, Lumen. You may very well have just saved Jaune from getting killed through Blue and Bracket's stupidity.
In fairness, it was the first definite opportunity they would have had, and their compulsion isn't easily ignored. On top of that, the end result isn't a result of the 12 you rolled- it was the result of, basically a perfect storm of traits neither party were aware of, a general misunderstanding of what they're trying to do and just general bad shit coming together and ending up screwing you over more than anyone else except maybe Goodwitch.

Regardless, the exact details of what happened will be revealed sooner rather than later- just tough it out, you'll live.

Also, I'm pretty sure smelling salts wake you up because of the ammonia, not because of the scent. Ammonia smells bad, but it also inflicts slight damage on soft tissue: not enough to be dangerous, but the irritation to the lungs triggers the inhalation reflex.

In other words, it's like getting punched in the respiratory system.
That is how they work, but Lumen doesn't know that.

None of these options are particularly serious, nor are any of them more or less effective than any of the others- it's just a matter of 'how many minor interludes do you want before he finally wakes up' more than anything else, and it wouldn't take a genius to figure out the general order here.

This is a cool off vote- just go for whatever you think'll be funniest.

"I-I can't, the tablet's frozen u-AGH!" You hear Goodwitch reply, tapping futilely at the infernal device before the sound of shattering glass and popping electronics cuts her off with a yelp, then a hiss of pain.
Glynda's currently picking glass out of her hands, and those launchpads throw you high enough to divebomb flying birds.

Like I said, perfect storm of bad shit happening all at once.

Right now, trying to emulate smelling salts is winning at 12 votes, followed by S L A P P at eight votes, then 6 people apparently trying to combine fake smelling salts and waiting it out, I, I dunno how to count you guys, then gingerly shaking him and its spicier variant are bopping around in the bottom with 1 vote and 4 votes respectively.

Voting will be closed at 8pm GMT tomorrow.

    [X] Wait- fuck it. Make a blindfold and wait for him to wake up. If it's long enough for someone important to come looking for you, then you'll worry. Until then, you're learning to play the Solitaire app on your Scroll blind.
    [X] Gingerly- Just, you know, shake him a little. Gently say his name. Tell him you had a great night, or it's time to get up for school, I dunno, figure it out!
    -[x] Less Ginger, More Szechuan Peppercorn- shake that motherfucker like a maraca, he'll live

It's the only way forward that I can see, if only there where other options... Ah well, wakey wakey it is then.

Whoops, I assumed we were doing approval voting. If I have to pick one though, I'd like to see Lumen try his hand at blind solitaire, sooo:

I can assume that this event is what would be called scripted in a video game proper?
I don't really see any way the Transistor trying to scan Ozpin could be avoided, short of failing the test at the start of the quest or never going to beacon.
Perhaps the circumstances surrounding it could have been changed?
Also I just realized why Lumen asked the eye contact question. I thought it had something to do with drafting luxin at first, but it was actually about the teammate selection.

Also, give Ozpin and Glynda some credit, they tried to cancel the launch but the tablet exploded and no one knew what was happening.
 
Eehh. I kinda want to leave who Jaune partners up to the hands of fate. So Im keeping my vote on the probably ineffective smells.

Changing my vote.
 
I'm not Prok but I can confirm, I remember all the agonizing about what to call their team and everything.
 
I remember, I was there. I just still want to leave it to the hands of fate.

Wonder who Pyrrha would get partnered with now?
 
Wonder who Pyrrha would get partnered with now?
It's simple.
Who, out of all the characters we've seen, would be best able to fill the role Jaune had in canon?
-Doesn't recognize her celebrity
-Forms a relationship through tutoring, indicating some personal deficiency that she can help with.
-Dense as a brick, allowing the romantic tension to build.
Obviously, Leathers is the only possible choice, combining the triple threat of ignorance of public figures, ignorance of academic matters, and ignorance of interpersonal matters.

I'm not sure you could fall in love with Leathers. It'd be like falling in love with a particularly stupid rhino.

Admittedly, the same statement could be said of canon Jaune, because his personality mostly consists of being an idiot and ruining things for everyone else, so.

Exactly! They're practically indistinguishable, except that Leathers is more competent- he had a landing strategy already prepared!
Also, I offer the following additional evidence for team PRNL(periwinkle)- Leathers has already met Nora and Ren:
When she gives you a questioning look, you point out Leathers on the other side of the hall, snoring away.

He appears to be using a slender guy with black hair and a single pink highlight as a teddy bear. The teddy bear in question minds very much but also appears to be too scared to do anything about it. Some ginger girl takes one look at this, and one scream of what you believe was 'cuddle-pile' later, pins the poor sod to the ground by his legs, removing his final avenue of escape.

Edit: Also, a possible application of Leather's Semblance? Have multiple team acronyms corresponding to various colors, and calling the team by the appropriate name for whatever buff they need.
