"Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects."

This is Ciel erasure.

Still a fun idea though.

So we sure do have a lot of potential defectors this volume..

I mean the Ace Ops obviously, who are looking increasingly likely to defect all together.. but not everyone will be so lucky as to have a whole team that defects with them.

Penny already defected, and has essentially been fighting without a dedicated team or partner ever since. Of course, she may regain her former partner very soon, when/if Winter defects.

Then we have Emerald, who is almost definitely about to defect, and who has just been split up from her former partner.

And she may even be joined by Neo, who’s been looking equally uncomfy with her situation of late. Which could give us four newly minted heroes in need of a team to call their own...

Anyway what I’m saying is there is a golden opportunity for the v8 defection squad to get together and form team WEPN (weapon).

Because really.. can you imagine how terrifyingly intense they would be together??

They’d just be one big bundle of severe emotional trauma wrapped in a desperate need to feel useful... <3

I wouldn't be surprised if they played it as Klein having been an Atlas 'military' doctor. He'd beat up grim with old-timey sailor boxing.

Klein punches the hound in the face

I mean, presumably Tai signed off on Ruby going early, Karen Glass or whatever her fanon name is would never give Cinder legal permission do do anything.

It’s one of those things we’ve never really heard about, and no one ever seems to ask, but this might actually tell us that the Age of Majority is 17 on Remnant.

Emancipation probably would go about as well as calling the cops would, Karen is rich enough to block any attempts, and vindictive enough for Cinder to not risk it.

The chain of events Rhodes was likely going for here would be:

Train Cinder until she’s a legal adult.

Hope that she’s capable by the time she leaves the hotel, since Karen sure-as-hell wouldn’t let her leave with any money, and also:

Have Cinder do what most people assume Ren and Nora did, take some qualification exam since she doesn’t have a combat school record.

Enroll Cinder in Atlas

???

Cinder happy!?

I feel like I should note that I don’t defend this plan, and all the waiting around involved in it, this is just what I think Rhodes plan was.

cinder was told she had to wait till she was 17 to take the huntsman exams but ruby got in early

Oh yeah that was a thing, wasn’t it? Well sadly, Cinder wasn’t a prodigy and I doubt Rhodes would have the balls to argue to Ironwood for her. 

Job satisfaction is important. Neo knows it’s important to have fun with your work.

Torchwick: *Breaks into a museum and steals large amounts of priceless artwork and jewelry*

Neo: *Steals the guard’s hat and flashlight* 😁

Salem bringing out the mom voice.

Salem: Neo, have you considered that if you didn't kill everyone you had sex with, you might not be so frustrated?

Neo: *flips Salem off*

Mercury: Neo treats men like she treats her outfits, she cuts them up and burns the remains when she's done.

Emerald: Cinder does too!

Neo: *hurls glass at Emerald for mentioning that name*

Mercury: hahaha she missed because her arms are too little!

Salem: Neo, that's enough and you two should stop winding her up!

Jacques' been gone for what? A day and a half? And Willow’s gone from paranoid to depressed to seemingly more relaxed now? And/Or sultry?

Someone protect Jaune. We have no idea how much stronger an Atlas milf would be than a Mantle milf.

Willow's VA had no right to deliver that line so sexily wtf

I’ll break the mold here and say Ilia/Neo. It can be a play on ‘rocky road’.

It was suggested that I make this its own post. I'm still not sure which ship would be named Rainbow Road though.

I’d like to imagine this being the first time most of them have heard Neo speak.

Jaune asks Neo to marry him in front of everyone Neo says yes while crying tears of joy and hugging him what does everyone do

ruby: uuuh

weiss: awww

blake: cute

yang: *crying*

nora: also cryinh

ren: *stoic

Why does this sound like a threat...

Anyway, I’ll put my bet on Deery, because someone has to.

Second bet’s on Willow, she arguably wants it most.

….

jaune will lose his virginity soon

"That dog stole my shoes..."

What is she thinking about?
