"Helloooo! You've reached Jaune Arc! If I'm not answering, it means I'm probably off somewhere fighting monsters or... doing something really awesome like saving a cat, or the president's son! You know how it is, a leader's schedule can be really hectic nowadays, ha ha! Just kidding, I'm probably in school, but I'd totally do those things if I ha-- [BEEP]"
[ TEXT | VOICE | VIDEO | ACTION ]
action
Heh. [ All jokes aside, Jaune resumes the examination of cool lights and buttons of which he has no idea what they do. ]
...Hey Hiro. I was thinking about that time I saw your memory, y'know, the mirrors and all.
action
So he pauses, looking at the gauntlet and pretending to tweak it one more time.]
Oh yeah? What about it...?
action
[ ...but it's another thing when you're faced with that choice in the moment. He doesn't want to kill people, he signed up to protect all lives. But who's to say he won't act out like Hiro did? Jaune has always been an emotional thinker first. ]
-- she was here, once, did you know that? Acting like our friend...
action
[He's not cool with that. He doesn't have as much of an investment to confront Cinder as Jaune and Ruby do, but…she's still someone who hurt people he cares about. That doesn't answer Jaune's real question though and he sighs, looking at the gauntlet again to adjust its settings.]
…I always wonder what I'd do if Callaghan showed up, you know? Especially with Tadashi here. He's in jail back home. We arrested him after we saved his daughter and he was still there when I got here. Callaghan knew he was responsible for Tadashi's death but he absolved himself from the guilt by staging his own death, too.
When it comes down to it? You gotta think about other people. I know I could never hurt Callaghan without a reason because Tadashi wouldn't want me to. Tadashi's the reason I didn't kill him in the first place. [A beat.] What would Pyrrha want from you? What would she do if the situation was flipped?
action
Cinder was here, yeah. She took an interest in Pyrrha and Ruby, which... y'know, I didn't find that weird at the time. [ Because why not? Pyrrha and Ruby are amazing people. ] She didn't pay that much attention to me, though. Guess I wasn't all that important... [ Which is also par for the course, but Jaune will use all that underestimation to his advantage one day. Especially now that he has jet boots!! ]
Heh. I'm ready to try these.
action
He also seems to understand that Jaune's used to being overlooked, but he's unsure of how to approach that. So he does what any true bro would do and he ignores it completely, nodding and handing Jaune the gauntlet.]
Cool. Slip those on and put this on your non-dominant arm. That thing's gonna control how fast and slow you're falling. Think you can handle that?
action
[ He supposes that makes it his shield arm, which would be pretty handy since that's where he used to keep his Scroll, too. Jaune does as instructed! He struggles for a few seconds when he can't figure out which one is the left or right boot, but that's only a brief moment and now he's ready to test them. ]
Jet boots, how do you come up with this stuff, heh... --okay, ready!
[ Jaune hops a few times to get a feel for the new footwear. ]
So far, so good. [ Jaune that's just your normal strength. ] What's the highest I can go with them anyway?
action
1/2
This is gonna be so cool-- ]
2/2
WAUGHHH!
[ Jaune's feet shoot up unexpectedly, which makes him fall on his back, and with the boots still propelling him, he's just... spinning on the ground like a bottle. ]
H-Hang on, just-- I got this--
[ He presses another button as he spins, which now boosts him along the ground and straight into a trash bin. ]
This is fine! It's-- I... I meant to do that.
no subject
Think you can mean to shoot upright next time? [He's mostly joking but really, that looked like it hurt. Baymax is already on guard as well to make sure Jaune stays safe.] Turn it off for a sec!
