You know, who else had shockwaves? Garrion. Aka Binah.
[X] It was already here when you arrived.
[X] Ask her if she is willing to pay if you kill some of the names she said.
[X] If she doesn't remove the pressure, stab her, using spear form of Mimicry.

Funnily enough, Binah's Degraded Shockwave is at least on par, considering it benefits far more from Strength boosts. But then again, that is an Arbiter for you. Even a retired one.

Yeah Arbiters are quite strong. But I always wonder how much stronger they could get?
maybe Garrion at full strength was the pinnacle of peak Arbiters?
[X] Be needlessly cryptic- repeat some of Mimicry's lines, make the situation as confusing as possible.

[X] Answer
-[X] Introduce yourself, no need to indulge in details, just basic stuff.
--[X] Ask to release Miris from telekinetic grasp to help Xiao. You're confident in your ability to break free but the same couldn't be said about your associate. Refuse to cooperate further, should Glynda decline, and choose violence.
---[X] If Miris is free, continue to answer. Maybe you've heard about some of the, supposedly, big names Glynda is talking about, big City and all that, but now nothing comes to mind.
----[X] Ignore questions about your weapon and source of wildfire. You're already said that it's your fault the fire started and leave it like that.
No need to portrait Kali as some sort of brute she's anything but that.

] Violence.-[
] Just cleave her in two, she won't be ready for your level of strength.Also, Guys, guys! You are missing an opportunity, we CAN answer what made the wildfire without implicating our allies!
[x] Answer.
-[x] A dragon made of flames made the wildfire, it's gone now, we took care of it.
-[x] Well, since it seems you have a particularly bad sight, I'll tell you: My weapons clearly made of flesh, got a problem with it?
-[x] I have no idea who the persons you're talking about are, well, I know some of the names, but I'm pretty sure you're not talking about *give her a description of your Crow*.
Edit:
You forgot:
"Manager! Manager, manager. MaNaGer!"

Violence is never an answer. It's a question.
And the answer is yes
And the answer is yes
Alright. Calling the vote.
I'll admit: I'm mildly interested by the fact that Miris's option won. Was expecting it to win out initially (because it's easy), but get overtaken by a better write-in. Is it the bandwagon effect? Would it have changed if I hadn't put his option first?
So it goes. Means I have to figure out what the guy would say here.
Can I note that, despite having more screentime than pretty much every other mook Fixer, that Miris still doesn't have a ton in terms of dialogue and personality? I get the gist of how he'd act in most situations, but these weird and esoteric ones leave me scratching my head a lot of the time.

When the Update dropped, I was putting together a write-in. But I still have some trouble with Kali's voice and coming up with proper responses. Kali is not a social-focussed person and I feel she should react aggressively. Especially with Glynda trying to intimidate her into answering. All of this, I could not put into a proper vote without just starting a fight. And at that point I realised it just makes more sense to let someone else do the talking.
The doubled edge of write-ins is that while they can be better as the default options, they can also be worse. So I rather pick a mediocre default than compose a potentially bad write-in.

Judgment Upon You
At this time, Kali is frustrated by her inability to protect the ones she want to protect, Also she does not know that she is a clone of geburas old memory so she thinks she failed to protect anyone by coming into the library, I'm fairly certain that she will be very pissed, so her language will be… let's say bad.
So let a somewhat calm man step in to talk for us now will be a good option, If not, we can always resort to violence and im fairly certain that 80% of people here won't last a single goodbye even with full aura

Your first instinct is to push back. To retaliate. To respond to this woman's threat.
It's not a good idea. You know it. Carmen would admonish you for it, if she were still here. A symptom of the 'disease of the mind' she frequently spoke of.
And so you hold your peace, shoulders slumping slightly. Miris notes your silence and speaks in your stead:
"That is the Red Mist, a Color Fixer. A legendary protector of the Backstreets, thought dead for several years. A hero, in many ways. I cannot speak on the nature of her weapon, though it surpasses even the best-quality Workshop gear."
He hesitates, then squares his shoulders to the best of his ability, still caught under the effects of Glynda's telekinesis.
"The wildfire… was my fault. A careless punch, igniting a particularly flammable bit of brushwood. The resulting conflict between my superior and the Red Mist fanned the flames, but it ultimately was sparked by me."
He's lying, for your and Xiao's sake. Faithful and trustworthy. You shoot him an appreciative look.
Glynda frowns, but seems to accept that explanation, only noting, "You don't seem the careless sort."
"Everybody makes mistakes," Miris replies, choosing his words carefully. "A strange, unfamiliar location, coupled with seeing a living legend back from the dead. I panicked. Now, if I can please tend to the Director?"
The blonde telekinetic nods, and you feel the pressure all around you recede. Miris breathes out, heading over to Xiao's fallen form. If you had to guess, you'd say that she trusts Miris more now, having assessed his character. Came to the same conclusion as you: he's loyal and trustworthy.
"There should probably be a penalty for burning down such a well-known forest as Forever Fall. But frankly, the Council has bigger things to worry about. And nobody was seriously hurt. Merely some Aura damage."
That is good to hear, that your conflict didn't endanger innocent lives. Miris agrees.
Miris sets Xiao's shoulder with a muffled crack. No hesitation. Glynda's riding crop lowers, glow fading. She doesn't holster it, however. Trust extended, but retaining caution. You can't blame her.
"If I may… I understand that your Director Xiao will be alright without assistance. However, however busy they may be, we do have hospitals back in Vale. And I doubt she would suffer from medical attention. Consider it compensation, for your recent rough treatment. We can get her looked at, test her Aura, all that. Would this be amenable? We can talk further when we are not standing… here."
Now that the threat of conflict is seemingly over… You're pretty tired. You could use a rest. And information. And a smoke. You can question all the strange words she throws out when you're not standing in a former battlefield.
Miris nods immediately, lifting Xiao up carefully in a fireman's carry. You too, agree. And now that things are less tense, you feel comfortable asking:
"So are we walking?" you say. "How'd you get here?"
Glynda's lips quirk. "It would be a long walk back to Vale City. No, I took a Bullhead. More than enough room for all of us."
A Bullhead is, as it turns out, a flying car. A flying car with fantastic maneuverability and high-calibre machine guns. You briefly start questioning them, before realizing that this is probably the Outskirts. The Head's rules don't apply here.
Glynda tells you it'll be a thirty minute trip to your destination of Vale General Hospital. You've got time to ask some questions and get some answers.
Pick 4.
[ ] Glynda
A/N: I'm actually worried I didn't give you guys enough choices here. Maybe 2 of 1, 3 of the other, and 6 if you go all in on one person? Let me know how stifled you feel. Either way, it's infodump time. Short chapter to compensate for the inevitable very long one.
If this were a Telltale game, there would've been a "Glynda will remember that." upon seeing Miris speak. Then again, that holds true for most things.
Also, since it's a good time… feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the Quest or my shitty headcanons. Lord knows I've got a tonne of them.

I'm... not sure how well this will end up for voting. Lot of topics + this quote in my head means a dozen different plan votes, unless I'm missing something. Maybe just 4 topics? They're all different things anyway so it'll be easy to see if it's Glynda or Miris when tallying. That aside, this is a lot of options for how relatively few we get to pick from them, but eh, you can always change your mind later if you find it's not enough for an update, add the 5th or more highest topic.

Distortion is a thing that we need to figure out quick, But there's someone else listening so…
[X]Glynda
-[X]Remnant
-[X]Vale
--[X]What bigger problems?
[X]Miris
-[X]Yourself
-[X]The library
Also I see the crying children, so if you guys are gonna ask about distortion, I suggest we start from that.
edit:Because Grimm has been removed, so I guess I'm going to change my vote.
understanding the world at large could be beneficial for kali and miris understand that we are not in the same universe as the city anymore.
But of course, Aura also be a choice, but that will just be understand as some kind of weird Singularity this part of the Outskirts has found out and integrated to every part of this society.

Yeah. You're right. Dumb idea to begin with.
Vote has been changed simply to 'pick 4'. I'll probably tally the most popular four and run with those. More depending on how I feel about writing more.

I would ask how we know to, well, ask about stuff like the Grimm, but I guess it'll come up naturally in the actual update.

-[] Kicking his face in
(I swear if this space comes up different to kaillll's vote)
These seem pretty pertinent, Xiao and her E.G.O. are of interest to Kali, so's her being "dead", A bigger problem than a big forest fire is concerning (though admittedly perhaps not so much for Kali), and aura is something we know is core to RWBY combat so is something she should know, combat topic is a good starting point to hit things off with Glynda too.
