RWBY Volume 7 Crew Commentary Notes!

All credit goes to Sweetfable over on Reddit! Sweet, if you’re on Tumblr and have already posted this or want to, let me know and I’ll take this down!

Chapter 1

Featuring Kerry Shawcross and Miles Luna.

Miles says he was hoping people didn’t figure out Atlas was a floating city in the sky before they got there. Even in World of Remnant, they were very careful with how they worded things to avoid spoiling this fact.

A large portion of ep 1 was intended to be in V6

Originally it was going to end with Penny being revealed, dealing with the Grimm, and ending on “Salutations”

Almost everything up until the Penny moment was how it was going to be in V6. For production and story reasons they decided to end V6 with just seeing Atlas.

Mantle is a little more Blade Runner and utilitarian looking, while Atlas was made to look like it was created by Apple. Two different futuristic looks.

When making the four kingdoms, they compared it to parts of the real world. Atlas and Mantle were two different versions of America

The drunk guy (Drunk Mann) we see insulting Blake is based off of Joel Mann and the other is Dustin Matthew (Grape-kun).

We saw Pietro (his hand) for the first time in Volume 3. They didn’t want to make him too similar to Dr. Weller from gen:LOCK, and so they made him to be like a ‘big’ kid. It’s where Penny gets a lot of her attitude from.

Kerry wants to do a show with all the old RWBY characters

V8 was harder to write than V7

It was a challenge in this episode to make it clear that Atlas is a new place for some characters, but a familiar one for several others, but that the Atlas in V7 is a different one than what they remember.

They try to theme the grimm to the location. So Grimm from Atlas are those that are from the Ice Age.

Miles compare Grimm to Pokemon. Some will pop up in every region, while others are region specific.

They had a lot of discussion surrounding what they wanted Penny 2.0 to look like. They considered giving her a conflict of her being a clone or not having her memories, but ultimately with the amount of stuff that needed to happen this volume they felt that it wouldn’t have been able to be done well.

Chapter 2

Featuring Kerry, Conner (director), and Kiersi

Forest became a fan-favorite

This episode was tricky to write because it was getting close to being an exposition dump

They had to balance movement and how much the characters can emote (especially when characters lie this episode)

Ironwood’s office shifting to present his plan was a cool idea + it was another way to stay in the room without having things get boring

Really wanted team RWBY to feel like they were on the right path and had something to follow. Establishing the trust theme early on.

Qrow and Ironwood’s relationship is super interesting to Kerry, and he wishes they could have explored it more. Conner pushed for Qrow’s hand to be lower in the hug scene (lol)

Conner jokes that he also proposed Ironwood should propose to Oscar when kneeling

Ironwood giving the relic back was his biggest sign of trust

They comment about how positively Penny states ‘it’ll be just like Beacon again!’ when she got destroyed there in V3

Kerry calls Watts ‘Daddy Long Legs’

Chapter 3

Featuring Kerry and Miles

They were confused when they saw people on Reddit and Tumblr think that this volume would have a shopping montage

Team RWBY jumping out of a plane is a callback to landing strategies and to see how far they have come since V1

The crew thought everyone would love Jaune’s new haircut, and was shocked when everyone immediately hated it. Miles wanted to see Jaune grow up a bit, so he liked the change.

They wanted team RWBY to start acting like and learning from professional huntsman

Miles wanted Atlas to feel like the Beacon days at first, and first came up with the idea that some Atlas academy professors would teach them. But that evolved into mentors, which eventually became Atlas’s best of the best.

The Ace-Ops are not only fun characters, but also foils to some of our main characters to help move their stories along

The Ace-Ops having five members + a team name not based on a color was very intentional. It was to show that Ironwood doesn’t care about Oz’s rules and would rather have an efficient team.

Eddy came up with the name Ace-Ops. Each member is based off an Aesop fable.

The mine scene has us seeing the SDC logo everywhere. Adam, as a terrible of a person as he was, when he was younger, was arguing with someone at a SDC place and the other person grabbed a brand and gave him his scar. So seeing the logo all over the mine was very intentional to put that in the forefront of Blake’s mind, and Yang notices

The fight with the Centinel grimm was originally supposed to be a bit longer and there was going to be an alpha variant of the centinel (which they imply we will see in the future)

Some characters got more upgrades than others. Weiss is already perfect, so she didn’t need any changes. Miles was excited that they were able to give Ren heavy rounds to shoot with. Ren has his father’s dagger on his arm

Many things that seem like retcons are actually not, and instead is just Kerry and Miles learning how to tell a story while simultaneously telling a story. So things were not always explained well early on.

Qrow and Clover were an interesting couple of characters, Miles says. For a long time Qrow was the guy that worked best alone (compared to Shadow the Hedgehog) and wanted him to interact with people that aren't his nieces and their friends. Clover was made to be a total bro and like Captain America- who always makes luck puns. He constantly feels like he is in an action movie because things always go right for him, so he doesn’t need to look where he’s about the jump. Which ultimately leads to someone who relies too much on their semblance. He rides the line of confidence vs arrogance. Clover is kind of person that Qrow always wanted to be. At the beginning of their friendship, Qrow doesn’t really like Clover and finds him irritating. But eventually it evolved into friendship, and later tragedy.

They left RWBY out of the battle of the Ace Ops vs the Geist to showcase how they didn’t need RWBY to get things done. It was their moment to shine

Wanted to give a sense in these first few episodes that, maybe everything will work out okay

Spoiler alert: It won’t

Chapter 4

Featuring Paula (co-director), Dustin (co-director), Eddy Rivas, Kerry Shawcross

Wanted a chance for the characters to breathe a bit before bigger things went down

Kerry loves the lighting in the first scene. They referenced how lighting looks in the tundra

The first draft of the scene where Ironwood is giving orders originally happened in his office

From V5 they learned it’s great to be efficient with sets but they can fatigue the audience and the crew

Originally the celebration wasn’t going to be in Amity, and instead it was going to be in Atlas’s version of an auditorium.

The ship Jacques arrives in is the same one Winter arrives from in V3. It’s a Schnee company ship

Paula thought it was important that Blake hold Weiss’s hand and be the first to stand by her side when Jaques is yelling at Weiss since Blake knows what it is like to be in an abusive relationship. Ruby and Yang didn’t even really know a father would talk like that to his daughter.

They were excited to write Penny and Winter’s ‘mirror-destiny’, which they laid some of the foundation for this episode

Qrow talking to Ruby was barely on the outline for the episode, but it was on their wish list if they had time to get it in.

Dustin says ‘fatherly’ when describing the moment and Kerry is like, ‘you just opened up a whole can of worms’

Eddy loves the ‘Jim’ gag when referring to Jaune.

Watt’s entrance was a difficult shot to execute properly because of the door.

Chapter 5

Featuring Conner, Eddy, and Kerry

They originally weren’t sure about having a montage in this episode

The penguins we see for a moment were possibly going to be grimm penguins

Kerry wants RT to sell the cards Clover has, and Eddy thinks it’s funny he would have cards with him emblem on them.

They liked having the moment of Clover and Qrow in the middle of this episode to show that Qrow is now becoming a mentee of sorts.

Adding in the Robin encounter was a late addition to the outline. She wasn’t going to be introduced until Chapter 6 during her rally

But they wanted to put the two factions head to head earlier on.

It was also the first moment of Clover being a bit duplicitous.

The plot line of tying the supplies through Robin’s storyline was a late addition while writing

Weiss vs Winter with summoning is a callback to V3C4 with them training together

Weiss being able to sit on hard-light (a block) is something Kerry was unsure about at first

Originally Weiss and Winter going to see Fria was going to be Winter getting an alert from Ironwood and having to leave, and Weiss following her suspiciously. But it worked better as Winter revealing a secret while Weiss was still keeping one

Chapter 6

Featuring Paula, Kiersi, Miles, Eddy, and Kerry

Eddy is the one who came up with the idea for the middle part of the season while he had a really bad fever

Originally Tyrian was going to make it look like a bunch of Atlas soldiers fired on civilians in Mantle. Then Eddie thought it should frame RWBY, but ultimately they went with framing Penny.

Nobody has ever offered Penny a fist bump before, so she wanted to do it perfectly

An old draft had the team and Ironwood doing an investigation at this warehouse post-massacre

There was also no montage in C5, just them sitting around a table talking about what they did

Miles also mentions there was going to be a scene in C3 with Marrow trying to bond with Blake about being a Faunus, and also about him specifically being a Faunus in Atlas who is a part of Atlas’s military team. But that episode was so packed they wanted to move it to C6, but then that episode also became too packed. But they plan to get to it in future volumes

They wanted to show how much the Happy Huntresses care about each other and about Mantle

They also originally did not want to have anything political in this season. But the more iterations they did, they felt it was the best course of action to do that with the story.

They wanted to give the heroes a high personal moment with Renora kissing right before things went down

Penny was not used to fighting sneaky enemies, so that is how Tyrian got the upper hand

While they don’t usually check back up on extras, things turned out that we kept seeing Drunk Mann and Grape-kun throughout the season to represent the city of Mantle

Chapter 7

Featuring Conner, Kiersi, Miles, Eddy, and Kerry

Fiona’s semblance was originally going to be Torchwick’s semblance, and it was called Deep Pockets. But they never found a moment for him to use it. So they decided he could be a great example of how some people don’t unlock their semblances

Originally some of C7 was meant for C4 where they found out earlier that Tyrian was involved with things

Miles wrote the description we got of Tyrian’s past (Salem first contacting Tyrian), and it was one of his favorite things to write.

Qrow looking at Clover when he is willing to go with Ironwood’s plan was meant to show some distance growing between the two

We were going to get more of Ren explaining why he was feeling the way he was and agreeing with Ironwood, but ultimately they are pushing it to next volume

Originally Blake and Yang were going to directly reference Adam when they had their talk, but they later figured out how to reference him indirectly

The arm robot Pietro has in his office was originally going to have more of a character like the robotic arm Tony Stark has

They tried hard to get Maria more scenes, but there was often no room for it

Miles realizes he was dumb to suggest that Pietro cover Watt’s face with his thumb while looking at a picture since they already did that with Raven in V3

The lady in the photograph with black hair is not Cinder’s mom (which was apparently a fan theory)

Robin encountering the Bees was a late edition to the outline. But it gave every member of RWBY a moment

They wanted the vault in the Academy to feel similar to the one in Haven but not a direct copy

Miles believes that if Ironwood would allow himself to be more vulnerable more often things would’ve gone differently

The invitation to the Schnee manor was originally going to be to a news conference

Chapter 8

Featuring Dustin, Miles, and Kerry

They didn’t specify what the hood ornament on the car would be, so Dustin was happy when it came back as a velociraptor, which references a raptor Monty Oum would put in photos with RWBY characters

Fans have guessed what direction they are going with Whitley. He starts off as a jerk, but Miles implies that is going to change. It is also an easy way to remind the audience of how the elite act

At the table, Jacques’s chair is bigger than everyone else's

Miles wrote the gag of JNR sabotaging Whitley’s conversation with Weiss and expected it to take only a few seconds, but as more people worked on it the longer it got

The stack of food was taller than Dustin expected it to be, and they even had to scale it back because it was going to be even taller

Another power move of Jacques is to only give a few people wine, as well as not giving Penny any food

Willow was originally going to be in the intro

A joke was made about Salem being Jaune’s sister in the V6 intro before everyone knew who she was

None of the writers expected Penny and Winter to have such a bond this volume initially

Miles wanted to portray when Weiss is talking to Willow that she doesn’t really know how to act around an adult with such an adult issue. Since Weiss is quite young (Miles compared it to him having to help an adult with an adult issue when he was 13)

Chapter 9

Featuring Paula (director), Kiersi, Eddy, and Kerry

It was difficult to keep the shots interesting in the dining room

We see Grape-kun and Drunk Mann again this episode

In earlier chapters they made sure to have an orange glow to represent the heating in Mantle since they knew it would be turned off in chapter 8

They wanted to showcase that Ironwood was starting to have doubts, which would later be clearly seen in episode 11

The foot soldiers (AKs) that the Grimm are able to overwhelm in only a few seconds were meant to represent that Atlas wouldn’t provide them with much defense against Grimm because they don’t care enough

Every storyline was coming together in this episode, and it’s tricky to make a setup episode like this not seem like filler

Ruby and Oscar’s awkward interaction came from them both ‘riding the high’ of the moment where it seems like they each have great plans that will go well.

Oscar is starting to tap into some of Ozpin’s memories, as alluded to when he mentions how Atlas is held to a higher standard

Terry the grimm being hit by a fireball (part of a plane I believe) was a call back to Jurassic Park

They struggled a long time with where to put the Neo reveal

Chapter 10

Featuring Conner, Dustin, Kiersi, and Kerry

They felt that if they showed a lot in the first scene of the episode, they wouldn’t have to saturate the background with other fires and crowds.

The shot of Weiss’s knight being summoned and overshadowing Marrow is setting up their fight in C12

When seeing the shots of the enemies infiltrating the kingdom, they didn’t know if they wanted to show Neo and Cinder or Tyrian and Watts first. But they went with Neo and Cinder because it would show that they thought their cover was blown, when it would really be about the other two.

The place Neo and Cinder are staying at is an Atlas ‘high-life’ apartment

They always knew Elm would have a rocket launcher/bazooka, but never got the time needed to show it until now

They had to restructure Mantle a bit to allow the huge elephant to fit in the streets

The main characters working with the Ace Ops in this episode was to make it so things hurt so much more after events in the following one

All the background characters apparently have little backstories as they made sure they didn’t appear in two places at the same time

Ironwood jumps down a ridiculous number of feet to meet Watts. They had to cheat to not make that so obvious as well as say this is animation logic so people working on the shot would stop questioning how he could possibly make it.

Chapter 11

Featuring Kerry, Paula, and Miles

Originally a gravity biome in Amity was going to appear in V3C5. It was going to be Sun and Neptune vs Pyrrha and Nora. It was written, boarded, and ready to go but they realized there wasn’t time for it

This was a hard episode to write. A lot of stuff that needed to happen, and happen in a specific way

Watt’s gun was inspired a 20-shot revolver Kerry saw on Reddit

Ironwood losing another hand represents him losing another part of his humanity (possibly confirming he lost his one organic arm)

The first cut of this episode was 23 minutes and was deemed too long so they had to scale back, but they still felt they kept in everything that was needed to make the episode great

Initially the Tyrian vs Qrow, Robyn, and Clover fight was going to be a chase that turns into a fight that turns into another chase. And Qrow is the only one that could keep up with Tyrian since he can transform into a bird. Qrow would land in front of Tyrian and say ‘that’s enough’ and Tyrian would ask, ‘are you able to talk when you’re a bird or do you have to wait until you’re a person to throw your one-liners?’ (Tyrian asking the real questions here) Tyrian’s lack of self-preservation would be shown even more. He would have run down an alley packed with Grimm and would just trust that he could’ve made it through

The fight with Tyrian was initially going to be more of a Tyrian vs Qrow fight, but Miles loves that they made it a 3 v 1 so it could show off Tyrian’s exceptional skill

The fight was also a callback to the first Tyrian vs Qrow fight, where Ruby tried to be good back up for Qrow but was ineffective. But instead this time have Robyn and Clover be effective and more experienced teammates

Clover is defense, Qrow is offense, and Robyn is picking away at Tyrian with her long-ranged weapon

There was going to be more discussion of where Oscar was at the end of the episode, as well as a whole bit where the Ace Ops and the kids land and they get a hand-written note saying they’ve been compromised instead of getting it via scroll, but it turned out to be too much

The scene of Ironwood talking to RWBY and his turn to being against them was the most important scene in the episode, and something everything in the season had to build up to

Miles said it was about time the two sides met face to face with RWBY meeting Salem

They wanted to make Ironwood’s progression into villainy subtle and make sense

Salem made things personal for Ironwood, so he felt like he had to come up with a solution

They wanted more Cinder and Neo in the volume but had to cut back. But to compensate they had to be instrumental to the collapse of Ironwood (Miles first said collapse of Atlas so wonder if he slipped up)

Chapter 12

Featuring Dustin, Conner, Kiersi, Eddy, and Kerry

They wanted to have a false sense of resolution in the previous episode just to blow everything up here

Eddy handled the Ace Ops vs RWBY and Winter scenes while Kiersi handled the rest

Kerry learned from V5 that having everyone in one room for a fight doesn’t work well

Eddy is a big Weiss stan

Clover has no idea who he’s up against with Tyrian, and thinks of Qrow as the big threat, as well as Tyrian manipulating Qrow

Clover saw both Qrow and Tyrian on the wrong side of the law, so he felt like he had to fight both of them no matter what

They made sure team RWBY can’t just stomp on the Ace Ops, but still show their teamwork. Plus the lack of Clover being there didn’t allow for the team to have a ‘cheat code’

This is another episode they had to trim down in length

Cinder was always going to lay waste to the medical facility and attack Winter

They also wanted to do a Qrow vs Tyrian reprisal

Kerry said he loves Clover

It was crazy for Qrow to meet someone that was a genuinely good person

Chapter 13

Featuring Miles, Kerry, and Eddy

The Neo vs ORNJ fight could have been shorter

At one point they wanted to show Cinder using maiden magic to bring some dead AKs (Atlesian-Knight) back to life to fight Penny (was going to be some sort of puppet joke).

But Miles realized that Cinder could just blow up the room and bust through the walls

Ren is struggling with some heavy emotional stuff that is not resolved at all this volume, but it is hinted there will be a lot more for him next volume.

The writers knew a lot of people wouldn’t be happy with Ren’s attitude this volume. But he still cares about Nora, even if he doesn’t always communicate it well

Miles cried during the voice over session of Fria’s scenes for this episode

They had a lot of talks about how the maiden power would be transferred. They debated if Penny would have to kill Fria.

Originally one pod was going to be broken, with the one with Fria being in tact. But because Penny is a robot, she could ‘remote-interface in’ and get the powers. But that still felt like stealing, and they didn’t want to go that route.

Oscar has matured so much in his role (joking call him Farm Man)

Ironwood is still expecting Oz to show up. He still really wants that guidance

Ironwood arguing with Oscar was the finale scene they wrote this episode

Ironwood feels that he is backed into a corner and is doing the only sensible thing.

Winter was waiting to be the Winter Maiden her whole life, but in a split second she gives it all up

There was one line in Oz’s monologue they were struggling with for a whole day

They loved the idea of ending the volume on almost an identical shot from where they started

Neo’s look after Cinder takes the relic and doesn’t thank Neo for getting it is setting up some things for V8 (probably a betrayal)

Oz came back at that moment because he heard what Oscar said to Ironwood and that made him brave enough to return

Miles reveals that the Grimm whale is based on Monstro from Pinocchio

It is once again said that Volume 8 is the hardest one they had to write so far. Miles seems super excited about it

Volume 8 was made with some fan-input in mind (since it was still being written by the time V7 ended), but Volume 9 will be the first one written in a vacuum

Firen Lhain: Chapter 705: The Beasts: Part I / III

In a corner stood a man in a tuxedo. Long red hair shaved on the sides, and a beak.

Earnest Pennystone, AKA: Henny Penny

In another stood a woman with a short halter top, harems pants, halter like a bit about her face, and a fox tail swaying to and fro.

Felicia Montenegro

In another corner stood a woman covered in penguine feathers.

Ursa Buteo

In the last corner stood a short man with blue feathered head, even shorter because of how much he was hunched over.

Spartan Haw, AKA: Sparrowhawk

Hazel walked into the room and slowly looked around. He opened his mouth, and his gravely voice echoed around the room, "Is this all that's left?"

"The White Fang," Felicia stated, "can't do anything without the people of Menagerie."

"Ungrateful bastards." Spartan stated. "Do they know just how much we do for them?"

"No." Earnest simply stated, "They don't."

"Without us?.." Ursa tried to say.

"What?" Earnest angrily asked her. "As far as they're concerned, we're the ones who made Remnant hate us."

"They already hated us." Ursa replied.

"And pretended to care." Earnest said, "Now they can hate us as openly as they want to."

"Are you saying we shouldn't?.." Spartan asked him.

"No." Earnest stated, "But unless we can get the people of Menagerie back on our side, I don't see what we can do. Trying to assassinate the wildly beloved Headman was not exactly a bright move. What did Adam think would happen, that the people of Menagerie would just jump for joy when they found out we assassinated their beloved leader?"

"So, what do we do?" Felicia asked.

"We have to earn the trust of the people." Earnest stated.

"Exactly." Hazel's deep voiced echoed about the room.

"How?" Spartan asked.

"I will admit," Hazel stated, "this is not my strong suit. But I'm not exactly someone who gives up easily."

"Just here to exploit us." Ursa stated.

"Of course I am." Hazel stated, to surprised looks from everyone but Earnest. "We want to use you to attack Atlas. I am not going to mislead you. That's the entire point of my being here. But if you want an army, we'll help you to build it. We'll just leave the recruitment up to you."

"Menagerie hates us." Earnest voiced. "But Atlas doesn't even pretend to care about Faunus."

"That is why," Ursa stated, "the White Fang haven't gotten very far in Atlas."

"So?," Earnest asked, "we go to Mantle. There's a lot more space for us to hide out in."

"Who made him the boss?" Spartan asked.

"I did, apprently," Earnest replied, "unless you three have any better ideas."

"If you don't think we can recruit here?," Hazel asked, "then we'll bring you to Mantle. Just tell us how many people you want to bring."

* * *

RWBY + JNR + Aurora, Ilia, and Taj sat around the great table, eating a late breakfast.

"So?," Nora asked, "did Ruby have to howl all night?"

"Nora." Ren admonished.

"I didn't?" Ruby asked, a fearful look on her face, "Did it?"

"You did not." Weiss

"There was a lot of moaning." Yang added, causing Ruby to hide in her hood.

"A few howls," Blake stated, "but they were coming from the woods."

"Ooooh!" Nora exclaimed, "What do you think it is."

"It is called the Woods of the Beast." Blake stated, and everyone looked at her with intensity. "What?" she asked.

"You have been reading as many of those dusty old books as you can." Weiss said to her, and Jaune gestured to affirm the statement.

"It's only been a few days." Blake curiously replied, "Do you really think?"

"Did you find anything, or not?" Yang asked.

Blake looked shocked and offended for a moment, "Nothing concrete. There are rumours of a large creature of some sort."

"Which," Ren quipped, "could be why it's called the Woods of the Beast."

"I asked General Ironwood." Aurora stated, and everyone quickly looked at her. "What?" she asked. "Networking is the primary point of my employment?"

"Continue." Weiss stated.

"Yeah," Yang said, "what did he say?"

"Nothing specific." Aurora stated. "He is doubtful that there is anything there, but if there is, he figures it's probably a Grimm."

"He gave us a castle next to a Grimm!" Ilia asked.

And Jaune sighed, sagging his head for a moment, "All of Remnant is next to Grimm."

"I do believe," Ren stated, "that is why Huntsmen exist."

Ilia shyly looked down. "Don't worry!" Ruby eagerly said, "This is what we trained for!"

"Blake?" Jaune asked, "Did you tell her about the Emerald Forest?"

"What part?" Blake curiously asked.

Jaune then continued, "Maybe the fact that what they did was literally throw us into a Grimm-filled forest. If there is a Beast..." Jaune stated.

"And it is a Grimm." Weiss added, causing Jaune to nod.

"We'll track it down, find out what it can do, and take it down." Jaune continued, "Worst case scenario, we've got a LOT of people we can call on to help us."

"So?," Ilia asked, "you're saying you're not afraid of 'The Beast'?"

"I never said that." Jaune stated, "I'm afraid all of the fucking time, I just don't let it stop me."

"Even with us?" Blake asked.

And Jaune just looked at her, momentarily dumbstruck. "Yes, with you. You act like 4 gorgeous amazons falling in love with me is something that happens every day."

"I'm not sure when it started," Yang voiced, "but every day since."

Jaune started to blush profusely, unable to say anything. Ruby still hid in her hood, though her head was getting a lot warmer. Blake started blushing profusely, and looking around with agitation. Weiss flushed light blue from head to toe. Ilia camouflaged herself. Ren held his hand out to Nora, who eagerly took it.

"Alright," Yang continued, "to change the subject from Ruby howling, now that you've met Weiss' sis, what do you think?"

"Glad there's only one Snow Angel on Remnant." Jaune said firmly. "Though Aurora is doing a good job of catching up."

Aurora beamed with this while Weiss was flushing a light blue.

"Yeah?," Yang asked, "but did you think she would be that stacked?"

Jaune simply looked at her neutrally. "I really don't know what you expected to get out of this."

"What I mean is..." Yang tried to say.

"That you four are absolutely gorgeous," he chastised her, "and I'm not EVER going to say that other women are more beautiful than you."

Yang turned bright orange, and looked about nervously.

"I think this calls for a spanking." Blake stated.

"Blake?!" Yang accused her.

"What?" Blake asked, "If lying gets a spanking, so should this."

Nora stood up and emphatically pointed at Yang, "Spank her ass!"

"Nora." Ren admonished.

"You did promise we'd try it." Nora pleaded to him.

"What, wait?!" Yang shouted.

Weiss elegantly wiped her mouth with a napkin, "We have, perhaps, not been the most abashed about our relationship."

"Meaning?" Yang asked.

"Meaning," Weiss voiced, "that they get to see and hear everything we do. Perhaps we should not be calling them out on such things?"

"Did the tower really shake?" Yang nervously asked.

"IFFF," Nora continued, "you're not going to spank Yang?.."

"I am." Jaune said, and Yang shuddered.

"Well, okay, but still, I want to hunt down THE BEAST." Nora continued.

"Why not both?" Blake asked, as she stood up.

Jaune looked around the table, and everyone seemed eager to join in. "This is going to be a long one."

"Which means Weiss gets her first taste of sleeping rough." Yang quipped.

"I've camped before." Weiss said.

"Like that one time." Yang said.

"Well..." Weiss voiced, "Yes."

"Really?" Ruby asked.

"Why is it at all surprising?," Weiss asked, "that my family was not especially fond of camping?"

"I don't know?" Ruby asked.

"The life of the glamourous elite." Blake stated.

"Well, that," Weiss said, "but it's entirely ineffective for the chair and president of a major corporation to be out of communication for any length of time."

"So?," Ruby asked, "he's like, always working?"

"Yes." Weiss said.

"Didn't you say you were disinherited?" Jaune asked her.

"Yes?.." Weiss nervously asked.

"So?, you were planning to be the president of the major coporation?" Jaune continued.

"Well, yes." Weiss headily said.

"Wait, what?" Yang asked, "How was that supposed to work?"

"To be honest?," Weiss asked, "I do not know."

"And, okay, you're dad was always busy?," Yang asked, "but why couldn't your mom take you camping?"

"Mother?," Weiss asked, "was indisposed, I'm afraid."

Since my posts are back in the tags im gonna intro an au I kinda have at the back of my mind

I call it the Vale City AU and it's based off the Batman Arkham games (outside of these games I have limited knowledge of batman stuff so bare with me)

Essentially Vale takes the role of Arkham City, being closed off and housing violent criminals in the place of a prison system

Grimm dont exist in this AU, but faunus do - Adam, one of the criminals in Vale, use White Fang extremists as his thugs.

Other than Adam; Torchwick, Cinder, Watts and Tyrian, (& mmaybe Salem?) Are in Vale too, Torchwick being the Penguin, mafia boss type with Neo at his side, Watts being a sort of, almost neutral scientist man (Dr Freeze), Tyrian being Scarecrow with toxic fear gas as well as his venom, Cinder just sets shit on fire (Firefly). If I were to include Salem then she'd functionally be poison ivy but with Darkness as opposed to plants

Emerald and Mercury are partners in crime, and serve as kinda anti-heroes, helping whoever is most convenient to help

RBY are all superheroes, with Weiss capable but choosing to aid Ruby over comms, like Oracle did in Asylum and City. (I could change this, however, replacing Weiss with Whitley)

Ruby is called Gemstone, Blake is Shroud and I believe I called Yang, Sparkler but I may have misremembered.

I'm... not sure what to do with JNPR just yet

SSSN are police officers at VCPD (Vale is Not America, cops are good there), and I was thinking of giving Winter the role of Commissioner Gordon

Coco is some kind of celebrity, Velvet is her partner and Yatsu and Fox are her personal bodyguards - no sure how to tie them in yet

Thoughts During RWBY V7x05 Sparks

I’m loving these consistent episode lengths very much.

Let’s get started.

Oh my god they in Atlas PJs... and admittedly they look very cute.

Oh my god Ruby.

Qrow that is your boyfriend (maybe) pay attention!

Ooh that is some nice looking Manticore.

Oh that’s so cute! Nora playing with Ren’s hair!

Oh my god Marrow you don’t even know what kind of landmine you just landed on there pal.

*phone call from mom interruption* Sigh. I love you mother but this is RWBY time!

*five minutes later* Alright... where was I...?

Cute kids!! Uh... ladies... he’s still a teen. “It’s totally the haircut.”

Ooooh, sister duo! Two sister duos!

Ah, so it was Ironwood training Oscar. They all get training. Also new song.

Oh crap! Neon finally showed up! And new students. Hey, Flynt.

Kobalt, huh.

Ruby and Penny. Ooh, penguins.

Screw you Ironwood. Penny deserves friends.

Hey Robyn! Finally get to meet you, and the cute lamb Faunus.

Mantle does deserve a better security system and a fixed wall.

Interesting.

Oh more Schnee siblings. Oooh I like this a lot.

Whatcha want to show her, Winter? Lots of cameras. Ah, the Winter Maiden. Ooooh... so Ironwood wants Winter to be the Winter Maiden... a bit on the nose... something tells me that’s not gonna happen though.

Oh that jack... oh that jack...

Crap. Oh crap. That is very much not good.

‘Titanium’

She stretched out her arms as she donned the last of her armor. Nora fiddled with Magnhild eagerly, spoiling for a good scrap. Nora was always armed and ready, never shy to display the power of her incredible hammer. Pyrrha could hardly wait for their Doubles Match to commence.

She was immensely proud to be fighting alongside Nora. It had been obvious which two of them would advance from the get-go. Since Nora had demolished the whole of Team BRNZ with a swift smash of Magnhild and Pyrrha had taken the brunt of the fight until then, the four of them had elected the two to advance.

That confusion in regards to their Team Attacks in the first round had finally been forgotten... Poor Jaune, he really tries. Well, most of the time. Anyway...

Pyrrha twirled Milo around on her arms, the javelin effortlessly bouncing off her wrists and forearms. Milo rested at her back; no need to practice with the shield with the fight so close at hand. Nora's body pulsed with electricity as her excitement flared ever higher. Ren and Jaune waited with the girls, giving encouraging words here and there.

Pyrrha pondered who they would be squaring off with this time around. She knew they would sortie with two members of Team DNCE ('Dance') from Shade. The four of them had made quick work of a crew from Haven in their Teams match. OBSN ('Obsidian'), Pyrrha seemed to remember. Three phenomenal fighters with a mediocre-at-best leader, they'd all had great skills and interesting Semblances.

Unfortunately, Danuba Pike's incredible tactics had taken them out. His weapon was an apparently endless supply of spiked metal spheres, with which he used his Aura to attack and defend. He didn't seem to have shown his Semblance in the fight, so that could be a hitch for them.

Then there was Wrench Nimbus, the feisty featherhead. Nimbus was an avian Faunus with patchy down on her arms. She was capable of forcing flurries of razor-sharp feathers at her foes, much like that boar Faunus from Haven. Ariah Mikari, a fellow Beacon student who was dating a member of that same team, had told Pyrrha that Lorelei Sienna's tusks were much more threatening than Wrench's feathers.

Chartreuse Toppsy boasted incredible speed, even on a level with Ruby, as well as a skull-shaped belt buckle that fired Dust rounds. She usually stuck to Fire Dust, but that wasn't all she used. Toppsy also sported a prosthetic leg that she could, in a pinch, take off and whack with or throw at a foe. This had gotten her free of a predicament in the fight with Team OBSN.

And finally, there was Amethyst Eatnahs. She had danced around her foes while making precise pricks and jabs with her scimitar. She also seemed to possess a transformation ability, but Pyrrha wasn't sure if that was true or just some illusion. Either way, all four of Team DNCE were skilled at dance battling, striking between steps and dominating all the while.

The PA finally called for their two teams to report to the arena's stage. Nora and Pyrrha hugged their boyfriends tightly, the two young men giving a few last encouraging words. The two women defiantly made their way toward the fight. The two of them arrived before their adversaries, so they flexed and stretched as they both waited.

The roaring crowd in Pyrrha's ears could not distract her. As a renowned fighter, she was used to crowds. However awful she was at social interaction, the battlefield was where she shone the brightest. The biggest thrill of her life was the arena.

With a thundering announcement and a ridiculous joke from Professor Port, Team DNCE lived up to their namesake, dancing across the floor toward the battle platform. Amity Coliseum sure was incredible; an arena in the sky that could be moved from kingdom to kingdom.

Once the dancers reached the platform, Nora and Pyrrha could finally see their foes. Chartreuse was given away by her green bob of hair and piercing red eyes. Amethyst's whipping long purple locks danced around her body even after she'd stopped dancing. Her hair seemed almost alive, thrashing about in Pyrrha's direction.

"Check it out, Topps! We get the goddesses!" Amethyst exclaimed. Her bright red getup consisted of a crop top under a half-jacket, denim pants and a killer pair of heels. Sharp and stabby, for good measure. Toppsy wore a green hoodie over a pink tank top, with short green denims and heavy brown boots.

"Well, they were the better two, certainly. The soldiers were pretty great, especially the dark-haired one, but we deserve to fight two goddesses, don't we Amy?" The green-haired girl replied. Pyrrha wasn't all the way sure what they meant, but she knew this would be quite the fight.

The platform creaked as the floor gave way to the simulated environment: JNPR was given a forest, while DNCE received a desert biome. The four of them took their positions and waited for Port or Oobleck to give the signal.

Once it came, Pyrrha shot forward and attacked Amethyst full on. The dancer stepped out of the path of each of Pyrrha's hits, whipping at Pyrrha with her purple hair. Pyrrha blocked most of Amethyst's strikes with her weapon or shield. The way this girl danced around Pyrrha's attacks was becoming more than Nikos could stomach.

Nora was having similar troubles with Toppsy, the green dancer sidestepping Nora's hammer. Toppsy was having fun with the hotheaded 'goddess' as she kept saying, not even drawing any rounds for her weapon. Finally, Nora morphed her weapon and fired a round at Chartreuse. Toppsy hopped a second too late, the round grazing her side and knocking her down.

"Ooh, she really is a Valkyrie!" She uttered, pleasantly surprised. Nora chortled.

"Nah, I think 'goddess' was more accurate." She hoisted Magnhild over her head and readied for a swing. CLANK!

Toppsy had taken off her prosthesis and blocked the hammer's haft with it. "Impressive, eh? The folks at Atlas really know what they're doing these days! If I knew the learning curve wouldn't be crazy steep, I might just part ways with my other leg. But Amy seems to like my leg skin quite a bit." Nora tried to wrest her hammer away, but the leg must have had powerful magnets inside.

Akouo slammed into Toppsy's leg, bouncing off for a hit at her chest before returning to Pyrrha. Nora yanked her hammer away and launched herself into the air with a blast. Pyrrha thrust Amethyst away from her and made for Toppsy. Chartreuse whacked at her with the metal leg, and with that Pyrrha had the upper hand.

Toppsy reattached her leg and moved to avoid the impending Nora that was careening toward her from the air. She took a step and could no longer move. Pyrrha had grounded her with her Semblance. Amethyst saw this and moved to counter, but caught another idea instead.

Amy threw her scimitar into the air. The sword shot toward Nora.

"Wrong answer, Hair-Whip!" Pyrrha fired her javelin at the scimitar. The blade lost its course and stabbed into the sand, and Pyrrha hopped out of the way just in time for Nora's impact. Toppsy and Amethyst were launched off the side of the battlefield, the screen showing their Auras had depleted.

"NORA AND PYRRHA WIN!! Explosive as ever, girls!" Dr. Oobleck cheered over the PA he was supposed to be as biased as possible, but he would cheer for Beacon and his students all the same.

Jaune and Ren made the scene to congratulate their teammates and girlfriends. Pyrrha ventured off to make sure their colorful adversaries were alright. Char and Amy congratulated them on their win, and the two teams met up for a well-earned meal to celebrate.

Day One: Favorite Character

If anyone bothers to read these, they know Pyrrha’s my fave!

I remembered reading somewhere that Pyrrha and Nora fought in the Doubles round of the Vytal Festival, although that sequence was scrapped or something. So, I made them go toe-to-toe with a couple of my OCs from Team MZKL, the fanfic I still have not written a single line of...XD

Team DNCE are based on Shantae characters. Danuba Pike is Bolo, Wrench Nimbus is Sky, Chartreuse Toppsy is Rottytops, and Amethyst Eatnahs is Shantae with a little Risky thrown in.

OCs and OC teams shall be in bold type. All OCs are the property of ZweI, the penguin with a pen, the owner of this blog, unless otherwise mentioned.

So yeah, happy NaNoWriMo, folks! Enjoy my garbage, if you dare...
