[RWBY] RWBY Shorts

Funnily enough? No.

It's a nod to power rangers time force. Where they lived in a old clock tower and they did odd jobs for money since they were time travelers without documentation.
Well, that's neat. Also funny how it shook out. How far did your ideas for this snip go? Because this one grabbed me harder than almost anything else in this thread.

I had bits and pieces here and there.

I didn't decide one way or another if Jaune would have aura but I did want him to be stupidly durable, not like full on anime level but like if someone dropped a brick on his shoulder from four stories up a building all he'd have is a really wicked bruise and maybe a cramp.

A big part of the idea was going to be the big tug of war over Blake.

White fang want their weapon.

Salem wants a replacement for cinder. One stronger and raised by her.

Atlas wants to euthanize her because of safety concerns and racism.

Jaune has to deal with Aaaaall of that along with trying to make Blake a well adjusted little girl and save whatever scraps of her childhood he can. And he's still gotta make rent.

I wasn't quite sure how the dice would fall with the Ozpin/Beacon faction.

Jaune: "Excuse me? Did you just ask me what kind of faunus I was?"
Nora: "Wow, that's giga racist!"
Yang: "I bet you think our white haired friend here is a Schnee, too!"
Weiss: "Tch, you're a squirrel faunus...of course a herbivore would make such ridiculous and brainless accusations!"
White Fang Guard: *sobbing* "I'm sorry!"
Blake: "…Do I really sound like that?"
Ruby: "Yeah, you kinda do"
Pyrrha: "Absolutely"
Ren: "Yes."

Blake: "oh."

If Jaune doesn't get aura, you could have a really funny callback to one of his canon lines, where after beating someone with aura he says something to the effect of "Aura? What's that?" If you do give him aura, I don't think he should have his canon semblance. A semblance is a reflection of the person it comes from, and this Jaune isn't the bright-eyed young man full of dreams and passion. It should have some connection to his original semblance though. I could see a semblance that forces aggro or punishes attacking anyone but him to represent the part of him that will always put himself between harm and those he loves. Maybe a semblance that grinds down the aura of everyone around him at an equal rate, including himself, to reflect his slow loss of his old dreams, which would be very powerful with his stupidly large aura reserves and the fact that Blake doesn't rely on aura.

EDIT: Mundane basass Jaune sounds awesome, and I can't decide on whether I'd prefer that or an awesome awakening of his aura with a unique semblance. I'm leaning towards auraless, because of how I've literally never seen that though.

Which Sister Shot Jaune?

A few thoughts for expanding on The Arc Clan some more:

-I realized that Alucard as Seras' husband wouldn't work. So instead her husband is Pip. Who tragically dies. Seras drained him dry.

Seras: *sobs* "HE SAID WE'D MAKE A BABY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT TOOK! MY BELOVED PIP, NOOOOO!"

Jaune: "Um... How many times?"

Seras: "ONE HUNDRED! I BEGGED HIM TO TAKE A BREAK BUT HE REFUSED!"

Neptune: sobs "HE WENT OUT LIKE A HERO!"

Sun: "A TRUE MAN!"

Coco: sobs "WHAT A MAN!"

This means Alucard is still known to the Arc Clan. So I do need to come up with a way for him to appear, since it is October. And have it be related to Ruby somehow.

-Shampoo is Yang and Ruby's auntie. And I was thinking her own husband tragically passed away... Or divorced her because Ranma doesn't deserve Shampoo. So Shampoo comes to Beacon to hunt for a husband. And no, she's not after Jaune... But Qrow, General Ironwood, and Jaune's single uncles Alexander, Brand, and Trey have attracted her attention.

...I want to involve time travel somehow because imagine everyone having a stroke when Alucard shows up and hits Ruby with a "Hi mom".
 
"Innocent" Members of the White Fang New
Teams RWBY and JNPR had intercepted another White Fang operation in Vale. This time though, Blake managed to get close enough to give Roman Torchwick a good haranging.

Her voice rose, her eyes blazing with righteous fury.

"HOW COULD YOU MAKE THESE INNOCENT FAUNUS WORK FOR YOU?!" She demanded.

"They're terrorists, not exactly innocent to begin with, Kitty Kat," Roman said, his voice dry. "Seriously, what, did Adam just make you get the coffee?"

"NO! I was his second in command!" Blake snapped.

"Uh-huh. I'm sure you were recruited for your brains, sweetheart," Roman taunted. Ruby held Blake back as she lunged, her Aura flaring.

"I mean, he has a point, Blake," Yang pointed out.

Blake shook her head furiously.

"I… I'm sure the Faunus working for the White Fang were all misguided and innocent!"

A White Fang goon shrugged. "No, I'm a rapist."

Another piped up.

"I get kids hooked on drugs."

"I make drugs! To get kids hooked on them!"

"I'm a rapist," the first repeated.

"You already said that," the second goon muttered.

"Well, I like rape!" the first insisted.

Another goon sighed. "I owned a mattress store franchise."

Gasps echoed.

"You make me sick!" the first goon spat.

Blake's eyes widened, her voice desperate as she zeroed in on another White Fang goon. "Well, what about you?!"

"I was a corporate lawyer. For the SDC," this goon said.

"But you quit and joined the White Fang to fight the good fight?" Blake asked, hopeful.

"Actually, it's because I was a serial killer," the goon admitted.

Yang raised an eyebrow. "…You seriously didn't know?"

"I-I'm sure it's not representative of the entire White Fang! Really!" Blake stammered.

"And you call me a spoiled princess," Weiss scoffed.

"Um, do you need our help?" Jaune called.

"Just sorting some stuff out, Jaune!" Ruby called back. "I think Blake's having a mental crisis!"

Jaune sighed.

"I'll get the tuna and scratch behind her ears."

"Thank you!"
 
When travelling with team JPBY, Ruby also finds out just how close they are one night. Jaune has his hands full.
Blake has none of the hesitation of Pyrrha, and pushes everyone else to the point of opening up about their feelings. Maybe she begins to fall for both Yang and Jaune after the White Fang mess, when she realizes that her team will be there for her no matter what? That they will support her in her moments of need, while also making sure she doesn't fall like Adam did? (I know this thread doesn't like Bumblebee, but this is a chance to use it for good!)
You know the most crack-y aspect of that chapter?

Blake giving good dating advice. Like, what.
She knows the warning signs, so she knows a lot of things to avoid, and abuse victims tend to be hypersensitive to people's moods and what triggers what mood, so it's actually pretty reasonable for a Blake that got her head a bit more in the game to recognize that Jaune is shying away from the aggression and preferred the quiet moments he had with her.
Second, we need a story prompt where Blake ISN'T a shitty kitty. Just to imagine such a world
Maybe a world where Ozpin recognizes that Blake is a brainwashed child soldier for a terrorist cult, and makes mandatory therapy a requirement for her attendance at Beacon like it should have been in the first place! Also, a few on-staff therapists that all students are required to see at least occasionally for checkups.
She was Salem, the Just and Kind.
Maybe make a play on how her name means "peace" with her titles and legend?
Blake: "WHAT?!"

Jaune: "Yeah, have fun with that, Blake."
Dealing with Hex is enough to make Blake less racist out of disgust for his actions. Incidentally, Hex knocking racism out of students is exactly why Headmaster Ozpin hasn't expelled him yet-he's too useful.
Blake: Not just in a sexual way. But, well, that too. But to completely own me, make all of important decisions for me.
the idea of Blake being too scared of herself to make her own decisions on life is depressingly in character, even if she was never willing to give that control to someone else-and why would she be? The last time she gave someone that level of control over her, they tried to make her a monster, and almost succeeded.
He NTRed me from Adam!
And all of Menagerie celebrated!
Darkness: wince "Oh you poor fools..."
So the next group gets gushed to about Darkness's fetishes, yes?
Things uh... Things don't go well. Poor Isabel.
How dead is Oz? By which I mean how many decades is it before Isabel stops hunting him down in all his reincarnations?
I kind of want to see a story where Yang or Blake takes him up on that offer
I'd like to see Jaune's response to Jacques being abusive and manipulative to Weiss. Or maybe in the snippet where Blake asks him to be her master, realize that Adam is in large part to blame for Blake being so scared of herself, and going full-on castration with a rusty cheese grater at Adam.
That would be rushing things for normal romance. Which I totally know how to do!
I want to see more of Blake has no idea how to do a normal relationship, and is both constantly surprised at her parter doing normal partner things… and less amusingly, gets set in edge by seemingly innocuous things that Adam has conditioned her to be scared of, because it means his temper is closer to the surface. Slowly have her partner sort out what makes her feel safe, what scares her, what she's unfamiliar with but wants more of. And when Adam comes to reclaim Blake?
Break him.
Cardin was strong. He wasn't the strongest but he was strong. When vale fell Cardin kept fighting.

When Sky died, ripped apart by a beringel, Cardin cut it down.

When Russel Overused his aura and ended up crushed under a collapsing building Cardin got the civilians out safely.

When Dove was cut down by bandits Cardin burned the camp to the ground and salted the earth.

But here and now at a place with a warm bed and no combat Cardin sits by a fire being hugged by a girl half his size and bawling his eyes out.

Cardin is strong. But right now he doesn't have to be.
Is this Ruby/Cardin I smell? Huh. Never seen that before.
[Oz wtf make it last loved one in there head or like minded soul]
The best reason I've heard for why the mantles work the way they do is that the mantles inherited hit reincarnation curse, and so everything in relation to their transference is Completely unintentional.
He didn't mention the girls father. Better to save that subject for when they're a little more stable.
Ooohhh nooooo… Taiyang was barely functional with his daughters to keep him going, if he lost them? I doubt he'd be able to keep going at all.
How does RWBY change if Blake is a bit attached to Jaune from the start? As in, He's MINE.
Well, for one, she'll have someone to check her when she's being pigheaded or running from her fears, which will lead to a more balanced Blake. Jaune will certainly have his aura unlocked before Beacon, and some training. Jaune will have a little less bright-eyed innocence when arriving, having seen what the White Fang did do Bake and what they do to those that's oppose them. He'll probably be a lot sneakier and more able to deceive opponents, even if he's still the knight. I don't think it'll be enough to totally stop the Fall, but they might be able to lessen the damage.
Now perhaps if you had months to work on her then maybe she can learn to love again but it'd take months/years of dedicated effort or a shattering of her world view and accept the possibility of change or that she is wrong.
If only there was some point in canon that Jaune got years to do that…
Blake: "I'm fine with being on his lap."

Yang: glare

Blake: "I didn't mean it like that!"

Yang: GLARE

Blake: "... Yes I did."
Y'know, Blake's last relationship was with an abusive and manipulative monster, and aura is the reflection/light/energy/whatever of the soul, so someone who literally walks around with his soul on display might make her feel safe in a way she's struggled to find since Adam.
Had a thought.

And Jaune trains under him.
…I can't help but draw some connections between the Hero's Shade and the Rusted Knight. It'd be cool if Jaune met his ancestor in the Ever After.


So, I was listening to some music earlier, and I thought: if team RWBY came to the Ever After and found Jaune with a guitar he'd somehow acquired, with his helmet off, singing this song:

How bad would their hearts break?
 
Kinda goofy idea here. Kinda Halloween but more just fall in general.

People keep disappearing and the only evidence to where the missing people are is small piles of orange powder lying around the areas where they went missing.

In truth a barista snapped and awoke their aura and semblance in one day. One of if not the most situational semblances ever.

If you are rude to the semblance user at any point between 9-5 (outside of a half hour around 1:30) they can make your body dissolve into pumpkin spice.

Cinder is one of the missing a long with Roman.

Roman i can see being Sassy but polite to the staff, NEO on the other hand is done
Cinder can't help but exploited her power over other in the service industry with Zero Empathy [the hypocrite]
Mercury i see being polite to the staff while Emerald by habit swipes there tips

Surprisingly enough Weiss is liked by the staff. She's usually got annoyingly long orders but she's willing to wait for them without causing a scene and is a very good tipper.

Blake however keeps trying to get faunus discounts put in place so she's not thought of too fondly.

Ruby is ok. A cheerful enough girl but pretty much everyone is sure that if it wasn't for Weiss coming often she wouldn't be there. She goes to the coffee shop and orders anything but a coffee.
 
How is Blake alive?!?

How is Blake alive?!?
A mix of not running into the specific employee that has the pumpkin power, having the simplest orders (straight cream), and her parents secretly having a line of credit set up with Ozpin to smooth over any ruffled feathers she causes in Vale while she's a student.
 
Funny idea: Jaune's home town is a on a path the white fang use to travel between the kingdoms. As such over the years Jaune has had his runs sandwiches stolen from a mysterious cat faunus. No one ever believes him and whenever he's tried fighting back he's always lost. He's even set out traps only for them to fail. Fast forward to Beacon and Jaune is making a late night snack only to get ambushed again. He then discovers Blake's been the culprit all these years.

It's time for the nuclear option.

Tuna fish sandwich with homemade spicy pickles. More specifically ghost pepper infused pickles and spicy mayo used in the tuna mixture. And just for good measure toast the bread using capsaicin.
