Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Aurellius is clearly a really buff guy so you could try tossing a grappling hook either over the crossbeam or catching it on one of the chain links then rope climbing up to the medallion. Knocking the medal down wasn't actually a bad idea, it just needs to be a little more of an effort, like a grappling hook is put through the chain then the rope is tied to one of the heavy blocks which is then dropped off of something tall (a stack of the other blocks or some such). Or maybe he uses one of the pole vaults to increase his jump to the point where he can touch it before falling back to earth. I would try a lot of these myself but Sapphire's got a broken rib which makes most of the physical stuff impossible.

The chain probably can't withstand the full force of a box colliding with it, is what I was going for. If he was lucky, and the box went in straight collided straight with the loop, it would be likely that the small chains couldn't fully handle the impact and just tore apart. That is, unless the teacher actually went and used a large size chain to hold it up there, which I wouldn't really imagine.

@SirBeowulf

I don't know what kind of chain you've been exposed to but most of the ones I've seen wouldn't break if someone hit them straight on with a single well aimed shot put ball (which would be about equal in weight to that of the cube). Ignoring that point for one moment if I was the teacher and in position of chain that could be broken by someone hitting it with a thrown cube that I was providing I would expected some dumbass to try so I would then go down to the Remnant hardware store and buy chain that doesn't shatter like glass.

Heroes of Beacon - Contest of Champions

My apologies for the late return. I've been sick for awhile now.

Alright and the winner of Contest Number 7, earning him two credits is.............. MULTI_MEDIA_MAN, that leaves the runner up as Guess Who for one credit. Now choosing the winner was difficult they were both really good stories, which if I'm being honest I wish had gone on for a little bit longer. I chose Media Man's because for lack of a better way to describe it, it was a Remnant story. Media Man used the world of Remnant, the characters from our RP and all our settings when dealing with the murder mystery (and that fact that he said my character was a better fighter than him didn't hurt). Guess Who I liked your story, I really did especially with the Beatles references and Piano Man as well as all the nods to forties PI novels. The real problem it had was that if I went in a edited out the five or six times you mentioned something that was exclusively remnant the story could really have happened basically anywhere. The other problem is that I said this was to be written about your Heroes of Beacon character and while you used his name in the story the traits he displayed and the abilities he had didn't seem to track with the kind, geeky, history loving Robert I've been seeing in the RP. Don't get me wrong it was a great piece of work despite the annoying habit you have of swapping between past and present tense, it just wasn't what I was looking for for this particular contest. Thank you all for entering and best of luck next time.

Hey @SirBeowulf? While I'd say it wouldn't be unlikely for a student to try and knock the medal down rather than building up to it I'd think that the teacher would expect that some cocky student would try and put safeguards in place to prevent it. I'm not saying it would be completely impossible, far from it but I'd would assume that it would be more difficult than simply chucking a small cube at the crossbeam. Most crossbeams are made out of a very solid wood like oak and if I was the teacher in order to prevent people like Aurellius from doing exactly what he did I'd have the medal hung by chain and physically screwed into the crossbeam. Not something that would be easy to dislodge or break with just a simple weighted cube. @Lugubrious care to weight in?

I do believe that the Rule of Cool only applies when the removal of logic from a situation ends in a freakin' awesome event that is simply to mind blowingly amazing for people to even begin to question how it made to no sense whatsoever. I'm not really seeing that outcome here but as I am the only one that seems bothered by this and because as a Music Teacher Żywie Stal isn't going to be a major part of the story I'll let it go.

If thats how her Semblance Manifest itself, I dont see how its that far fetched. I don't exactly hold the RWBYverse to a high level of realism. As long as it's consistent and won't later contradict itself (without explanation anyways).

@Lucius Cypher

The problem isn't how her semblance manifested itself, we are in a fantasy universe after all. The problem is that is has manifested itself in two very distinct and completely unrelated ways almost like two absolutely separate semblances. Sure someone could have a sound semblance, someone could have a healing semblance but you can't have both unless there is a logical way in which they tie together.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Healing music makes just as little sense as healing sound. Music might heal the soul but it doesn't have a whole lot of effect on the body. The most I could say for it is that she could use sound to dull the pain of her allies within a certain area around her but I do believe that healing is too far outside her ability's sphere of control for her to be able to do it.

Legends of Zelda... and Everyone Else

That's not a bad idea but right now I've got the flu or something, I really need some sleep. I don't think I'll make it to school tomorrow so I can probably get something up then.

Legends of Zelda... and Everyone Else

I'm fairly certain Mido would buy her flowers for causing OOT Link's death.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Healing Music perhaps? Magnetism doesn't work that way either, but you just sort of roll with it... If it's any consolation, seeing Blake capable of using dust along with her Semblance, perhaps the teacher also uses a sort of restorative dust infused with her sound strikes (When she wants it to of course) for the purpose of healing others.

@Lucius Cypher

Unless we stumbled into Fairyland I don't think that really works. I realize we're dealing with having super powers here but there should at least be a string of sense to it. The abilities of the X-Men are all explained even if the actual explanations are based in pseudoscience at best. If she is in fact using some sort of healing dust and her semblance is merely a deliver system then that's completely cool, but that's not what shadowkiller912 said.
