The Year is 85 AGW. The XiaoLong-Rose household has been given devastating news: The Matriarch, Summer Rose has been lost. The White Fang is peaceful, but will start turning to a different, darker path, the Schnee-
I have HAD it!
Wait, what?
I am sick and tired of these STUPID dark plot lines! I don't like this at all!
Uhh, Who are you?
Me? I'm your everyday ROB, of course.
Wait. Are you going to do one of those stupid 'I don't like the way plot goes, so I'm going to shanghai someone from earth in to fix it' actions? Because it's been done to death already.
Well, Kind of.
Hmm?
People from Earth will help out, but nobody is going into Remnant itself.
How?
Well, Another ROB by the name of Jezzie gave me an Idea. Instead of sending some helpless schmuck to fix it themselves and potentially risking failure, why not help someone from said universe do it with no risk towards you?
...I suppose the Idea has some merit.
I know, right? However, just letting them listen in seems a bit too... fair to me. I want this plot line to be completely crushed, refolded, and made into a much happier one. Therefore, I'm going to give the lucky Recipient a special ability!
Oh? Do tell. What is this 'special' ability?
Hey! I saw those air quotes!
Whatever.
Anyway, the ability is to manifest a sort of 'Hub' for their use. In the Hub items from any universe can be stored, with some restrictions.
That sounds suspiciously like The Gamer.
So what? It might sound like The Gamer, but it's still useful.
Touche.
So, how about it? Think its a good idea?
...Aw what the hell. Sure, why not.
Cool! Now all we need to do is pick someone.
Who do we choose?
No no. WE don't choose, THEY choose.
They?
The people looking at this thread of course! This is a quest, is it not?
Fine. Who will they choose?
Well, they could potentially choose anyone, but that could potentially foul up the system. So, I'm putting on some restrictions.
Like what?
First, the character has to be canon. OCs are at the best of times hard to write and keep from being one dimensional.
Sounds about right. I also don't trust myself to properly write an OC, so I would veto one anyway.
Exactly! Second, No villains or Chess masters. Villains would just make the story line worse, while the Chess masters wouldn't actually do anything, just sit on their ability.
...I guess that makes sense. Plus Chess masters are kind of boring to write. It's just a lot of planning, no actual action.
I'm glad you agree. Third, they have to go to Beacon in the main story line. Too many question marks for anyone else.
Ok then.
And finally, forth. Forth is simple: NO JAUNE ARC! He is everywhere, and is done to death from everything! I get that his backstory is very malleable, but he's EVERYWHERE! I can't catch a break from him!
Jeez, Ranting much?
Don't even try to deny it. Your the one writing this.
...Touche.
I thought so. Anyway, If you don't want to get into a huge discussion, here are some choices to pick from.
[] The Pure Seed, waiting to Blossom
[] The Broken Mirror, Sealing it's cracks
[] The Chained Beast, Waiting to Break Free
[] The Smoldering Ember, Catching a Spark
[] Write In?
[]...Or Perhaps a Wilted Rose, Wanting to Bloom once more?
I hope that this doesn't go wrong.
What are you talking about? What could possibly go wrong?
...I can't believe that you not only Challenged Murphy, but also the internet.
...Whoops. Uh, GottaGoNowSeeYouBye!
Hold on a Second! You can't just-...And she's gone. Well, here's hoping Murphy doesn't take too much of an interest here!
(AN: Welcome to RWBY: When ROBs have had enough! This is a bit different to most narrative quests, mainly from the fact that you don't actually control anyone! All you do is suggest, and if the idea isn't good, it will be vetoed by the character in question. The Hub will be explained in more detail after the character is chosen. Here's hoping to a nice and fruitful quest!)

When I say villains, I mean ones who would be villains in canon. However, if the character you choose can interact with them and change their minds, then they will be allies.

Considering last I check when QM was talking about making the quest on the Discord we are both on that it starts after Summer's death? I hope not.

Yes. I'm fine with Summer if it starts before her death. But not after.

It seems that the winner is Summer!
Yay?
Definitely! However, we need to be careful about Summer. A couple of the askers brought up some good points.
The OC one, right?
Yep.
Well, I could use fanon to determine her personality...
Nope. Bad Idea. It will NEVER work.
Yeah, I thought so. Anyway, how are you going to get Summer to the Hub?
Well, I could magic her back to life, but that would mean the hub is restricted.
How so?
Important fact about ROBs: We may be omnipotent, but universes can't take the full brunt of our power. We need to limit ourselves in order to actually do something.
Hmm. Ok, then what should we do instead?
Well, I have an Idea...
Summer was not having a good mission. It was supposed to be easy, a little request from Leo to clear out some Ursa. Simple, right? Wrong! Not only did she attract an entire grimm horde, but also the Nuckalavee that was credited with destroying some towns. And to add the cherry on top, it turned out that Leo was a traitor and was working with Salem! She had been cursing him in every language she knew (it wasn't a very long list) while trying to fight for her life, but she overextended. A small foot out of place, and had her aura broken (along with most of her bones and her sword) for her troubles. Now Salem was walking slowly towards her, most likely to gloat. "It seems that the promised warrior of Ozpin has finally fallen." Yep, definitely gloating. "If only you had stayed away from hunting, I might not have killed you. No, wait, I would have anyway." "Are you done yet?" Salem looked rather peeved that her rant was interrupted, but her face quickly smoothed out. "Yes, as a matter of fact, I was. Now, do you have any final words?" "Nah, mostly because I plan to continue living." "Well, I'm afraid your plans will have to be put on hold. Indefinitely." She was slowly charging up a large orb of energy, that would most likely vaporize her molecule by molecule. 'Well, it seems like I can't keep that promise Ruby. I'm sorry.'
Oh really? Well, we can't have that, now can we?
No, I suppose we can't.
'Huh?'
Salem must not have known what was going on either, due to her confused face. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she was looking directly under Summer. Summer herself looked down, and stared into a white void. Her only thought was, 'Wait, what?'
Summer landed on the ground with a large Thump. However, this thump agitated her very broken bones rather violently, so she spent the next 5 minutes just lying there in agony. 'Ow. Ow. Ow. Note to self Summer, never fall into white voids while all of your bones are broken.' After her mind stopped being nothing more then Pain, she started looking around, careful not to aggravate her bones. 'Huh. I wonder where this is. ...Is anyone there?'
I'm glad you asked!
'What the duck-'
I, am a ROB (that stands for Random Omnipotent Being). I was watching your world line, and thought it sucked. So, I decided to change it!
'Uhh, getting really freaked out here-'
Don't worry. She gets like this quite a bit.
'Another one?' Hey, that's mean!
You have done nothing. But practice your super hammy speech. For Five. Whole. HOURS.
Well, it's not my fault if you don't like good Writing when you hear it.
'Could someone please start making sense? Or at least try to make this situation start making sense? Preferably with names?'
Oh, my bad. My name is Lucene, and the Grump you heard is called Dinesh.
Yo.
'Ok, so why am I here?'
Well, like I said before, your time line isn't a very nice one. You disappear, your daughters nearly get killed, they then go to Beacon only for it to fall during the Vytal festival. It's not a very fun timeline to be in.
'REALLY not liking the fact that you just told me that my children nearly die there.'
Well, there's not much I can do right now. You need to be the change, but I know you can't do it alone.
'But no one else is here. ...Is there?'
Kind of. You see, I have some people nearby who can send out some responses to you, with ideas on a course of action. They can't force you to do something, but the can suggest. Along with using the Hub.
'The Hub? Whats that?'
The Hub is where you are right now! It's what some would call a pocket dimension, but can be filled with many things across the multiverse.
'...Oookayyy. That seems kind of strange, but I guess I can go for it.'
I'm glad that your so accepting! Anyway, due to my own power restrictions, I can't send some things.
'What things?'
Well, I can only send 5 things at once before having to recharge in this universe, and they can't be more then the size of a man.
Any other restrictions?
Well, yes. Due to their nature, some things like weapons of mass destruction or miracle tools cannot be sent. (I'm looking at you, sonic screwdriver.)
Ok then. What else?
Well, there are some other things that I can't do. For example, I can't let Summer suddenly do magic, so most things magical are a no go. However, magical items, such as amulets or rings are fine. Just not from D&D.
Why not?
Have you Seen some of the stuff they can cook up in there?
...Good point.
Speaking of points, final point. No living things from other universes. I don't care how resilient they are in their own universe, but this is quite simply too much for them.
Sounds right.
I thought so. Anyway, I'm going to prepare to send the things in, So I'll leave. HOWEVER, I need to mention something important and give something to you.
?
For a very limited amount of time, the Hub can perform a time dilation. However, this also have restrictions to it. Namely, it can only be utilized if she is training in something.
Any time limits?
She can use it for 2 days at max, and then let it recharge for 4 days.
Good to know. What was the thing that you needed to give?
Oh! It's very important.
Suddenly, right in front of Summer's eyes, a strange set of earbuds appears.
This is the Planar loosening Ocular Transmogrification device, or PLOT device. It will allow you to hear the askers questions.
Yep, that is very important.
Definitely!
Anyway, We'll see you soon.
Bye!
'...That was quite the overload.'
That it was. However, this has been running on for quite a while, and I think it's time to wrap up. Therefore, it's best to wait for responses now more then anything.
'Ok then. I'll see you later too.'
See ya.
Your view suddenly pans to Summer's face, which is rather clear from any grime.
'Uhh...Please be gentle?'
(AN: New update! This time we actually have someone that isn't omnipresent, and needs some sense ASAP. I would also recommend some medical supplies, if I were you. Anyway, please post any items that are to be sent to Summer using a [X]. If the item is a weapon, please also include a link to a wiki. Here's hoping to a successful quest!)

Do you think the transistor will work? (from Transistor (game of the same name))
Or maybe the Process? (also from transistor.)
Devil Fruit? (from One Piece)
Sensen? (from Remember Me (game))
The Master Serum (advanced non-lethal variant)? (from 39 clues)
One of the Branch Serums? (from 39 clues)

-Magic compass from Pirates of the Carribean
-Fragarach (Bazettes F you! Autocounter Mystic code)
-Cloak of Invisibility etc.
-Rings of Power from Lord of the Rings

'Uhh... I really don't know what half this stuff is. Help?'
Well I do. and I can tell you the validity of some of this stuff.
-Transistor: Sorry, the soul part is what blocks it here. Can't do anything to souls.
-Devil Fruit: That is also a no go, unless you want to spend your entire buffer period before canon just relearning how to use your body.
-Sensen: From what I can tell, Sensen is a memory alteration device. Why would you need it?
-Serums: The master serum can't really help you besides a panic power up, and the branch ones change your personality. Granted I have only seen the Lucian one in action, but I'm guessing Summer doesn't want to have her personality changed.
'No, I really don't.'
Welp. Not much I can do about that!
-Boots of Hermes: I'm very leery about this one, but if you can give me a better reason then 'power of flying!' then I will give the OK.
-Magic compass: Hmm. I'm also rather leery on this one, but mostly for the fact that it would likely short out because she is in a different dimension, and it would become useless.
-Fragarach: Nope. Time manipulation beyond what I have done is very dangerous, and I can't guarantee that it would work 100% of the time due to the fact that there is no ambient prana to summon/use it.
-Cloak of Invisiblity: If you are talking about the HP one, ABSOLUTELY NOT. If I tried to take that, it would get the attention of Death. As in, Death, Destroyer of Worlds and End of All Things. There's a reason that many ROBs stay very far away from the HP verse...
-Ring of Power: Not only is the soul part blocking me, but why would you take this soul? It's literally a tyrannic monster that wants nothing more then to enslave the world and engulf it in darkness.
Remember, if you actually want to send an item please put a [X] before it.

Sensen: perfect eidetic memory, memory alteration, memory erasure, memory stealing.
-Note that the last 3 can be done to other people. With memory stealing, you can get other peoples memory of past events, from their perspective, without having been there yourself.
