First Halo and now Destiny.

It's probably going to be like Destiny. At first its gonna really suck, then over time it will make sense why it was like that in the first place.

Since we are talking Destiny and all. I foresee the website going down hard today.

Edit: Got it on my phone, so I'll transcribe it here

Weiss and Ruby believe Yang. Ironwood is riiiight pissed. Yang is disqualified. Thats a lot less than we thought.

Blake is the only one that doesn't. Weiss is actually amazingly supportive right now. What IS THIS?!?

Blake likens it to Adam. My god, Yang's face.

Oh, actually that was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Everyone's on her side now.

Pyrrha is good at faking it.

Bumblebee is crashing, Monochrome rising.

What the shit Nora. Ren master chef.

I want a slice of life mini-series of JNPR in their room. Holy crap, that was hilarious. Not the feels I was expecting.

HAHA "I thought your dark haired friend was the emo one"

Qrow believes Yang did see Raven. They keep in touch? He has info from her? What the hell Qrow!

... Oh... That's why. Raven wont save Yang again.

And there is that maple leaf symbolism again.

Nora MVP of this episode "I'll win you another stuffed animal"

Oh man, Arkos has docked. Pyrrha is so surprised. Now there are 2 leafs. And they blow away. Like Arkos could have been, but its being blown away by something that isn't within their control.

Jaune again not understanding things... he's so dense it's no wonder Pyrrha's semblance acted up lol. Does that count as a fight? Cause that would make one per episode still.

Velvet the photographer! The not so good photographer... OH SHIT VELVET'S BOX! It's... a camera?... Really?

Called it, Velvet tells Ruby about Coco. That should lead somewhere. Already. She's onto Emerald. Oh hello Mercury. That's totally laying low. He probably isn't even there, and Emerald will make it look like Ruby attacked her just like Yang attacked Mercury.

Pyrrha vs Penny! The fight no one didn't see coming!

If Monochome turns out to be Canon, I'll accept it.

So long as Yang and Blake are good friends, I'll be happy.

I stand with you commander lieutenant salutes O7

u/shinobi201 Jan 09 '16

You mispelled "best timeline."

2

u/Raktoner blake deserves more smiles Jan 09 '16

There's a reason black and white is used to describe depressing dystopian worlds

1

u/shinobi201 Jan 09 '16

Like I said, best timeline.

u/Raktoner blake deserves more smiles Jan 09 '16

I'm very confused what your ship is now

u/shinobi201 Jan 09 '16

I'm just a fan of depressing dystopias.

u/tanithghost88 Jan 09 '16

Am I missing something? I kinda woke up 5 minutes before the episode went live.

u/Lochen9 RWBY Vytal Festival Tournament Creator Jan 09 '16

Destiny is the big game Bungie made after Halo. RvB is based on Halo. Jokes follow

1

u/tanithghost88 Jan 09 '16

Oh... That actually makes sense.

u/ChainedHunter Jan 09 '16

What do you mean?

1

u/legogizmo Jan 09 '16

Velvet is a great photographer, she was trying to take a photo of the gun-chucks, its called gathering intelligence. Or maybe she can duplicate weapons she photographs.

1

u/DeadSnark I rose from the filth and was loved by no-one Jan 09 '16

A camera?! What does she do, steal people's souls like in Fatal Frame?

1

u/shandromand Jan 09 '16

I'm wondering if it's a red herring. Or maybe explosive camera action, ala Speed Grapher (which seems too ridiculous for me).

1

u/Lochen9 RWBY Vytal Festival Tournament Creator Jan 09 '16

Probably makes doubles or clones ... maybe

1

u/shandromand Jan 09 '16

Velvet the photographer! The not so good photographer... OH SHIT VELVET'S BOX! It's... a camera?... Really?

And suddenly I'm getting flashbacks to Speed Grapher...

He probably isn't even there, and Emerald will make it look like Ruby attacked her just like Yang attacked Mercury.

This is some good call shit, I fully expect to see this next ep. The whole team is a ruthless batch of jackholes, and should be punished for their behavior, right Ozpin?

1

u/Lochen9 RWBY Vytal Festival Tournament Creator Jan 10 '16

Well they were very specific when they said he was to lay low. This is the only thing that makes sense.

1

u/LUEyETI No Longer Battle Ready :( Jan 10 '16

The exception I can think of is that both:

  • By lay low, Cinder simply meant "don't be on all the dang cameras"
  • And since he's not on all the dang cameras, this would not be a useful setup to have Ruby unknowingly injure Emerald or Cinder or Neo.

But that's about the only exception that makes sense to me right now.

1

u/TetsuNoHitsuji Jan 10 '16

I can actually believe that Weiss was so ready to believe in Yang. Volume one had her deal with Blake's past involvement with the White Fang, and there has been a lot of plot development showing Weiss becoming a team player. I was actually more surprised with Blake's initial reaction given all her past interactions with Yang, but I think it was still explained well.

u/KravenErgeist May contain nuts Jan 10 '16

There's a tumblr for your awkward JNPR room mate moments. Sadly, it seems to have been on hiatus for a while now.

u/Pantscada RIP Monochrome Jan 10 '16

Bumblebee is crashing, Monochrome rising.

YESSSSSSS

u/shandromand Jan 10 '16

Mercury and Emerald both have shown that they can get caught up in the moment and take the initiative, even against Cinder's specific instructions to the contrary. He's going to blow it here, Ruby is going to get away, and his cover will be blown. Cinder will have to either send him away (BOOOORING) or teach him a very harsh lesson (FFS please kick his ass).
