thanks for the chapter but please dont make it into a habit to start writing in this kinda style, its bad form. and bad habits are hard to break if you get into them.
i mean this one where you just write the name of whoever talks like that:
Jaune: stuff
Yang: tells more stuff
Person C: blabla
i know this is just a funny short so it doesnt mean as much but it is precisely there that bad habits form, where you just unconciously write down your thoughts.
I write in script format for rough drafts, to get the dialogue out and figure out the "skeleton" of the story. I then write it up into actual prose after. Since this is for shorts and random ideas, I'm posting roughs to see if there would be interest in me doing some of these ideas as full on chapters, and getting general feedback. As for bad habits? Well, I've been doing this for twenty years and it seems to work okay. ;p
For instance! Here is another silly idea rough:
Our heroes are working in the weapons maintenance class. Jaune is working with Ruby to reforge Crocea Mors.
Ruby: "Don't worry, Jaune! I'll make your sword even better than before!"
Jaune: "Thanks Ruby, I don't want my family weapon to just fall apart."
Ruby: "It's not that bad, but it could use some tender loving care! Don't you, baby?"
Jaune: "Uh... Yeah."
Ruby: "Ooh! And I can add a gun to it!"
Jaune: "Er... No."
Ruby: "What? Come on! What's wrong with a gun? It'll be a big help-!"
Jaune: "I know Ruby, but uh... It's an Arc Family thing. See, whenever we get a gun? We... Change."
Ruby: "Change? Change how?"
Jaune: "Uh, forget it! I shouldn't have said anything! Just-No guns, okay?"
Ruby:
looking suspicious "Hmmm..."
Brightens "Okay!"
Jaune:
sighs in relief
Later... When Jaune isn't looking... Ruby gets a Winchester Arms 45 pistol, and sneaks it with her when Teams RWBY and JNPR go on a training mission into the Emerald Forest.
She waits... She waits... She waits... Gets bored, eats cookies... Waits... But then...!
Jaune: "GRIMM INBOUND!"
They fight a pack of Beowulves. Jaune is doing pretty well... But a lucky strike from an Ursa knocks his sword out of his hands.
Jaune: "Shit-!"
Ruby:
"JAUNE! CATCH!"
She throws the gun. She also gets Crescent Rose into sniper mode, to shoot and defend Jaune in case whatever happens is dangerous to him.
He catches the gun without thinking, and... A change comes over his. His eyes harden, then widen. He shoots the Ursa in the limbs, then blows it's head off with expert marksmanship.
Jaune: "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET, MOTHERFUCKER!"
The other teams kind of... Pause, as Jaune rampages with the pistol: Blasting apart Grimm while cursing.
Jaune: "YEAH MOTHERFUCKER! THIS IS FOR LIBERTY AND FREEDOM! FUCK YOU, BALLDRAGGERS! RUBY! GET ME MORE CLIPS, DARLING!"
Ruby: "S-Sure!"
She tosses them
Jaune: "FUCK YEAH!"
He gets hit by a King Taijitsu, but Jaune just gets right back up and shoots the Grimm in the eyes before punching into its throat and ripping out various organs.
Jaune: "YEAAAAHHH! COAT ME IN YOUR BLOOD YOU MONSTER! TEACH THE REST OF THE GRIMM TO FLEE FROM ME LIKE THE PUSSIES THEY ARE!"
He fires repeatedly, blowing away more Beowulves "UP YOUR ASSES, YOU ABOMINATIONS! I'M MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR MANKIND AND DEMOCRACY! HOOORAAAAAHHHHH!"
The rest of the Grimm are dispatched. Pyrrha hesitantly approaches Jaune.
Pyrrha: "Um, Jaune? Are you-MMPH?!"
And Jaune yanks her into a tonsil twirling, lewd, messy and noisy kiss.
Jaune: "FWAH! THAT'S FOR BEING A GOOD SOLDIER, PYRRHA! KEEP THIS UP AND I'LL PROMOTE YOU TO MOTHER OF MY TEN CHILDREN!"
Pyrrha:
bright red, stutters, grins like a schoolgirl "S-Sir, yes sir~!"
Jaune: "HOORAH! GREAT JOB, REN! STONE COLD MOTHERFUCKER, THAT'S YOU! KEEP ICIN' THOSE GRIMM!"
Ren: "... Thank you sir."
Jaune: "NORA! YOU ARE MY DARLING ANGEL OF DESTRUCTION AND YOU'VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG! KEEP IT UP!"
Nora: "SIR YES SIR!"
salutes
Weiss: "RUBY WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
Ruby: "I JUST GAVE HIM A GUN-MMPH?!"
And Jaune kisses her too.
Jaune: "MWAH! GREAT JOB, ROSE! KEEP IT UP AND YOU'LL MAKE SIDEPIECE!"
Ruby:
dazed, giggles "O-Okay!"
Yang: "JAUNE! WHAT THE FUCK-?!"
Jaune: "XIAO-LONG! GOOD VIOLENCE! WAY TO MAKE THOSE DAMN GRIMM EAT THEIR SPINES! FUCK 'EM UP LIKE THE BOMBSHELL YOU ARE!"
Yang: "I... Well, yeah, but kissing my sister is way past the line-!"
Jaune: "I'LL GET TO YOU LATER ONCE I'VE CHEWED OUT THE DAMN PRINCESS AND KITTY! SCHNEE!"
Weiss: "Arc, what the hell is-?!"
Jaune: "YOUR ONLY ANSWER SHOULD BE 'SIR YES SIR', SCHNEE! THAT WAS A SHITTY PERFORMANCE, DAMNIT!"
Weiss: "But-I-!"
Jaune: "SIR YES SIR!"
Weiss: "S-SIR YES SIR!"
Jaune: "THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING?! YOUR TEAMMATES NEED YOU TO CAST YOUR MAGIC FUCKING MISSILES, NOT DANCE LIKE A BALLERINA! YOU CAN CAST LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING WIZARD! ACT LIKE IT, SOLDIER!"
Weiss: "S-Sir yes sir!"
Jaune: "BELLADONNA! FRONT AND CENTER!"
Blake: "I don't really know what's-!"
Ruby: "YOU HEARD HIM, SOLDIER! FRONT AND CENTER!"
Blake:
startled, but obeys
Jaune: "YOUR NINJA SHIT IS GOOD, SOLDIER! BUT YOUR FAUNUS WOE IS ME SHIT DON'T FLY OUT HERE WHEN YOU'VE GOT GRIMM TRYING TO EAT YOU FROM THE ASSHOLE UP!"
Blake: "Wha-What does that even mean-?"
Jaune: "SIR YES SIR!"
Blake: "S-SIR YES SIR!"
Jaune: "YOUR PARTNER WAS GETTIN' SWARMED, BELLADONNA! SHAPE UP AND LOOK OUT FOR HER OR I'LL HAVE YOU COURT MARTIALED! THEN YOU'LL GET A REAMING LIKE ONLY IN YOUR DAMN SMUT BOOKS! IS THAT CLEAR?!"
Blake: "S-SIR YES SIR!"
Jaune: "ALL RIGHT! WE SURVIVED! BUT WE CAN AFFORD TO DO BETTER!! EVERYONE DROP AND GIVE ME FIFTY, DAMNIT!"
Professor Port: "Teams RWBY and JNPR! You passed the test, why are you still here?"
Jaune: "SIR! MY TEAMS ARE NOT PERFORMING AS WELL AS THEY CAN, SIR! SO I AM INSTRUCTING THEM AND HARDENING THEM FOR THE NEXT ENGAGEMENT, SIR!"
Weiss: "Help us Professor, he's gone insane-!"
Port: "Ah! Carry on, Mister Arc! Miss Rose! It's good to see some of the old Valean fire still exists!"
Jaune: "SIR! CAN WE GET SOME AIR SUPPORT ON THE NEXT MISSION, SIR?!"
Port: "I'll see what I can do. I miss the old days. Ah, the smell of napalm in the morning. Smelled like victory!"
Jaune: "SIR YES SIR!"

... Yeah no idea. Just thought that Jaune becoming an insane Helldivers-esque drill sergeant when he gets a gun might be funny. Your mileage may vary.
