Yup. Absolutely.

So! How does their conversation go from here?

you have no idea how wholesome streams can get…and how many get bonked with the mod hammer.

i can see some awkward moments before the two begin to geek out together and awkwardly go pawn some overconfident newbs…which only increases the fan base of the two as they end up getting fanfictions of them creating the "balance of the power".

 

[TheFabulousCustodes]

Weiss is paying to win the game, and yet still loses at everything.

SnowQ33N - "Let's see how you fair against my premium Gold Arrows, DarkArc! I spent my entire monthly allowance!"

Later

SnowQ33N - "No, no, no, no! How could he have deflected ALL of them?!?! He must be paying to win! Cheater!"​

Yes…completely yes, and Yang actually ships it in the chat! Doesn't play the game of course but cheers them on…Nora and ren are just that couple of players that are the ultimate support team…and random chaos generator.

edited: what's funnier is if both of them get designated as raid-team mom and dad…and both chats end up calling them that.

"ruby, apparently the streamers adopted as as their second parents…"
"dangit juane!!! I told you not to give into the streamers!"

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Ruby: "How could you be DarkArc?! You-You're so sweet! So kind-!"

Jaune: "How could you be RoseScythe?! You insulted my mom, my dad, and my lesbian sister!"

Ruby: "YOU INSULTED MY COOKIES!"

Jaune: "I didn't know they were YOUR COOKIES! YOUR COOKIES ARE AWESOME!"

Ruby: "W-WELL THANK YOU! AND I LIKE YOUR PARENTS AND SISTER!"

Jaune: "THEY LIKE YOU TOO!"

Ruby: "WHY ARE WE YELLING?!"

Jaune: "I... I don't know! It's just... Normal..." He chuckled "Geez... You know, we keep getting shipped together."

Ruby: "Haha... Ahaha... Y-Yeah, that's... That was weird, huh? I mean, they started doing that when I turned 14. Creepy, huh?"

Jaune: "Y-Yeah... Heh... Creepy."

Ruby: "I mean... Not so creepy now, huh?"

Jaune: "N-No! No... Definitely not..."

Silence.

Ruby: "... I um... I don't really do much streaming anymore-"

Jaune: "Same. And uh... Training and fighting is a lot better for dealing with anger and frustration than video games."

Ruby: "Oh... Is that why you were so nasty?"

Jaune: "Yeah... I didn't... I really didn't mean it."

Ruby: "S-Same... Really."

Silence falls again.

Ruby: "Sooo... Um... Y-You know, I liked all those indy horror games you played through. I'd never even heard of a lot of them!"

Jaune: "Yeah, my sister Verdy is really big into indy gaming. She's made a few that are artsy horror games, so I promoted them by playing through 'em."

Ruby: "That's really nice of you. I liked those games too."

Jaune: "... Want to try playing one together some time?"

Ruby: "... S-Sure. I'd like that."

 

[RandomDragon]

Oh no…this is being streamed too…

how many people are realizing their ship has sailed and fought its way to the promised land of wholesomness?

 

[Watching]

Huh, would horror games be common on a world where monsters feed on peoples negative emotions?

 

[AndrewJTalon]

Slightly different Ruby and Jaune meet at Beacon...

Ruby: "Hey Jaune... Um... You wouldn't think badly of me if I'd killed some people, right?"

Jaune: "Like... What kind of people?"

Ruby: "Thugs and criminals. This White Fang bastard who said he was going to rape me. I took his head off!"

Jaune: "Oh shit... Yeah. I'd kill a guy who threatened to rape you. I killed one who threatened to rape my sister."

Ruby: "Really?!"

Jaune: "Yup! A bunch of bandits tried to raid Radian. My dad and the militia fought most of them, but a few got onto our farm. So I shot them with the Dust shotgun, and stabbed one with Crocea Mors."

Ruby: "... When did you do this?"

Jaune: "When I was twelve."

Ruby: licks her lips "That's... Wow. With no Aura? That's amazing!"

Jaune: "Really? You don't think I'm a monster?"

Ruby: "Not at all! Do you think I'm a monster?"

Jaune: "No! I mean, some criminal trying to kill and rape you? He's a walking dead man."

Ruby: "Yeah... Want to train together? Want to know how to decapitate a guy cleanly?"

Jaune: "Boy do I!"

- - -

Basically, both Ruby and Jaune are still kind and nerdy... But life threw some curve balls and they both got a taste for killing the FUCK out of evil bastards.

And they finally find someone who doesn't think their desire to kill motherfuckers "disturbing".

now this makes me wonder how Yang is like? Does she angst over how she likes killing the deserving or thinking that she is becoming like her Egg Donor or did Qrow sit her down and explain things.

Jaune: "Sure thing!" beams as he sharpens Crocea Mors "We'll teach them the error of their ways!"

Ruby: "Absolutely!" loading up high powered Dust rounds "Hmmm... HEY JAUNE? WHERE ARE THE DUST GRENADES?"

Jaune: "Nora gave me some! Here you go!"

Ruby: "Aw, thanks sweetie!"

Blake: "Ummm... Why do we need grenades?"

Ruby: "To persuade them to change their ways!"

Jaune: "Enthusiastically!"

 

[RandomDragon]

MUCH enthusiasm…sometimes words just won't be enough, especially if they utterly commit to murder and rape and self defense is justified, especially with a deathworld like remnant.

hopefully some will swear off it once they realize how bad it can get, while the blood hungry crazies are the ones that are put down, a pity but some people just won't change…even if given a second chance.

I don't know why, but now I can't help but imagine Raven somehow meeting this version of Jaune, preferably with Yang there as well, and approving of him.

Ren: "You're playing an ARPG! Not a Rhythm Game! Just don't get hit."

Nora: "If either of you slip up once you explode. With high enough Defense, it doesn't matter if you face tank everything."

Pyrrha: "Doesn't that mean your attacks constantly get interrupted and you barely do damage to keep up?"

Nora: "Silence, Pyrrha! You abuse invincibility frames of DP's and Supers!"

[AndrewJTalon]

Jaune: "Hey Pyrrha? Your Semblance lets you control electromagnetism, right?"

Pyrrha: "I... How did you-?"

Jaune: "I figured it out. Took a while, but I did. Anyway, I'm right?"

Pyrrha: "I-Yes! Wow Jaune, that's really impressive!"

Jaune: "So, you sense the iron in people's blood, and can manipulate metal in weapons or armor. Pretty cool."

Pyrrha: "Yes! That's amazing-!"

Jaune: "So, what else can you do with it?"

Pyrrha: "Eh? What do you mean?"

Jaune: "Well... Can you like, control the charge of particles?"

Pyrrha: "... I can do that?"

Jaune: "Well, if you could, it would let you do all sorts of cool things. Like, if you could suppress the charge on protons, you could basically negate the atomic bonds holding stuff together. Like, you could turn an enemy's weapons into the finest dust ever. Then they'd be screwed."

Pyrrha: "R-Really?!"

Jaune: "Yeah! And if you could also suppress the charge on the neutrons that make up matter... You could make stuff explode, because you're basically turning the atoms into antimatter. That would probably be super dangerous... But also really cool."

Pyrrha: "How do you know all this stuff?"

Jaune: shrugs "Eh, I took physics in middle school. A lot of people thought it was a waste of time since Semblances and Dust are like magic, but the universe still follows rules. That and the teacher was a super hot redhead."

Pyrrha: "A super hot redhead, you say?"

Jaune: "Er, sorry, I didn't mean to-"

Pyrrha: "No! No, that's fine! But tell me... What else could I possibly do with my Semblance, Professor Arc?"

Arc: "Well..."

Elsewhere...

Cinder: "Why do I have a sudden feeling of doom?"

- - -

Because as usual, electromagnetic-based powers get reduced to 'manipulate metal' in fiction when the reality is? You're in control of one of FOUR FUNDAMENTAL FORCES OF NATURE. Holy shit the things you could do.

Oh, and Cinder is FUCKED if Pyrrha can do even a little bit of the stuff Jaune comes up with for her.

A small but very significant thing that I do need to point out is that there's a difference between magnetism (like ferromagnetism) and electromagnetism.
There is some confusion between the two, which isn't made any better due to the naming of electromagnets.

• Magnetism is defined as a force or a property that can cause two objects to attract or repel each other due to the motion of electric charges. It is a physical phenomenon that is closely associated with magnets and magnetic fields.
  This one isn't a fundamental force of nature.
• Electromagnetism, on the other hand, is the branch of physics that deals with the study of electromagnetic force and deals with electricity and magnetism and the interaction between them. It is the phenomenon that describes the interaction between electric fields and magnetic fields.

Yeah but magnetism is part of electromagnetism. Magnetic fields induce electric fields and vice versa. We produce electricity by spinning magnets and we have electro magnets that act as magnets by running electricity through coils. So even if Pyrrha's semblance only gives her direct control over "magnetism" it would allow her to exert control over electromagnetism simply because they are intrinsically linked.

 

[SpaceK0k0nut]

So, what y'all be saying is that Pyrrha could be considered a cheat for creating invincibility frames whenever she wants?
edit: i mean in games, IN GAMES

"Jaune Arc. Short, smooth, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it."

Weiss stared intensely at Jaune. Ruby blinked, looking between the two weird people she'd run into right off the airship at Beacon. The snooty heiress blinked a few times, then had a look of vulnerability on her face Ruby certainly wasn't expecting.

"J-Jaune?" She asked. "Jaune Arc? Isabel's son?"

Jaune blinked a few times back... Then grinned.

"Weiss?"

"Ha," Weiss smirked, "Could it be anyone else?"

"I guess not," Jaune said with a grin, "Wow, made a new friend and found an old one! What are the odds?"

"Eh?! You two know each other?" Ruby cried.

"My mom's a doctor and did a lot of work for the Schnee family," Jaune explained, "And she dragged me along. I met Weiss and we played as kids."

"It... It has been a while," Weiss admitted quietly. "So, um... You got into Beacon too? I thought your mother didn't want you to become a Huntsman?"

"Er... I managed to talk her and Dad into it," Jaune admitted with a nervous laugh. "So! How are you? You look great!"

"Ha, y-yes, of course I do," Weiss managed, just as nervous, "I'm fine."

"How's your sister?"

"She joined the military. Became a Specialist," Weiss explained. Jaune nodded.

"That's amazing! She must be incredible."

"She is," Weiss affirmed. She glanced at Ruby with a frown. "Friend of yours, huh?"

"I'm Ruby Rose," Ruby introduced herself, scowling, "You're the one who blew me up with Dust!"

Weiss sized her up carefully, before nodding.

"Yes, well... Sorry about that," Weiss shrugged, "I suppose I should have been more careful."

"Oh, um... That's okay," Ruby managed. Weiss nodded to Ruby, then seemed to forget her existence entirely as she flitted over to Jaune's side.

"So! Tell me all about Radian! How's your family? Was the trip here difficult?"

Feeling distinctly like a third wheel, Ruby nevertheless followed along with her new friend and his... Hanger on.

- - -

Initiation had been difficult, but honestly? A lot of fun! She got paired up with Pyrrha, and she was amazing! She wasn't called the Invincible Girl for nothing!

Then they'd met up with Jaune and Weiss, and they'd beaten a giant Nevermore together! They were commissioned into their own team: Team JSPR, or "Jasper".

She wasn't team leader, that was Jaune, but Ruby honestly didn't mind. She was happy to be on a team with two good friends, and... Weiss. Who wasn't... Horrible, but she was... Weird.

"Jaune," Weiss said pleasantly, "I think we should put our beds together. When you were little, you did sleep better with someone with you."

Jaune laughed a bit nervously.

"Er... I got over that Weiss, but thank you," he said with a kind nod, "I appreciate it."

"But I insist!" Weiss said urgently. "I-I mean, what if you roll out of bed and fall to the floor?"

"I'm fine, really Weiss," Jaune emphasized with a kind smile. "I've grown up a lot since then, Promise."

Pyrrha's smile became a bit more brittle at this.

"I'm glad you're thinking about our team leader, Weiss," she said carefully, "But he is a Huntsman-in-training. He can handle himself." She beamed at Jaune. "Besides, we need to sleep so we can start training tomorrow!"

"Eh? You want to train with me?" Jaune asked, blinking.

"He's training with me!" Weiss said quickly, taking Jaune's arm. "After all, he's my partner!"

"He's my team leader," Pyrrha stated, taking his other arm, "And I'm a regional champion."

"How about we all train together?" Jaune suggested quickly. "We're a team, and we need to get better together."

The two other girls stared intensely at one another, and Ruby swore she could see electricity crackling between their gazes despite their polite smiles.

"Sure thing, Jaune," Weiss agreed. "You're right."

"He absolutely is," Pyrrha said with a smile, "Well... Good night!"

"Goodnight!" Weiss said cheerfully, her smile not quite meeting her eyes.

The two women headed to their beds, still smiling... And both disrobing while casting looks over at Jaune. Jaune for his part turned bright red, as did Ruby.

"Er, I can wait in the bathroom-"

"Nonsense Jaune!" Weiss said with a smile, "We're teammates now. We must be comfortable with each other!"

"Absolutely," Pyrrha said cheerfully, "Don't be afraid to look! We're all together now."

Jaune sighed.

- - -

Later, Jaune and Ruby snuck out for a midnight snack... And Ruby sat him down.

"So... Um... Weiss likes you?"

Jaune sighed heavily.

"Yeah," he shook his head. "She was a good friend growing up, really. But her family... It wasn't the best. Let's say she uh... Got attached to me."

"Seriously," Ruby muttered. "And Pyrrha?"

"Got me," Jaune shrugged, "I just was nice, but she's uh... She likes me too?"

"And you? How do you feel about all this?" Ruby asked.

"I mean, I like them both! Really!" Jaune said with a nod, "But I want to wait on romance until I'm... Ya know... Settled. Beacon's tough. Plus, we're a team. If a romantic relationship goes bad, it might get us all killed."

"Wow, you've really put a lot of thought into this!" Ruby complimented him. Jaune smiled warmly back.

"Thanks Ruby. I just... I care about all of you, and I don't want to screw things up."

"I bet Weiss is just... Ya know... Really happy to see you. I'm sure she feels the same way and is just overwhelmed! But she'll calm down. I... I know what it's like to not have friends."

Jaune smiled kindly, and squeezed Ruby's hand.

"Not anymore you don't," he stated. Ruby blushed and beamed back at him.

"Aw... Thanks Jaune."

Jaune nodded back.

"Any time."

- - -

They returned to the room. Weiss met them, looking worried.

"Jaune? Ruby? Why were you out?" She asked.

"Just getting a midnight snack Weiss, honest," Jaune said with a kind, honest smile. "Don't worry so much, okay?"

"I... Of course," Weiss said with a nod. She beamed at him. "You're not the type to cheat!"

Jaune and Ruby blinked.

Weiss turned bright red.

"O-On... Your sleep cycle... That's totally what I meant! Ahahaha!" Weiss laughed nervously.

"Eheh, yeah," Jaune said with a wince. Ruby patted him on the shoulder.

Or maybe she's just crazy, Ruby thought.

[sperance]

Ruby totally isn't playing the "sane person" angle to get an advantage over the two crazy almost-yanderes and how dare you imply otherwise.

 

[JiggieP]

Was reading this and thought it would be hilarous that Ruby outta nowhere ended stealing Jaune from under them

 

[RandomDragon]

Ruby playing sane girl? Makes me think summer rose played the long game to grab Tai…or that raven is a absolute ass and butted into that relationship to try and grab him first just to spite summer.

either way I can see ruby playing the "sane girl" card that comforts juane while being a sweet cinnamon bun (while trying to be devious but is too wholesome), until she wins juane over.

im quite the fan of Lancaster pairing.
