Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

I haven had much to comment on as it feels the story is getting a bit bogged down. Everything kind of at a standstill, city wide fire not withstanding. The writing is still good, but just...not much is moving along.
Dust is highly volatile. Joffrey likely thought he could use Dust to awaken his Aura. He's a fool and now, likely a dead fool. Wow, that problem fixed itself...and it was likely Tywin who set that in motion with his lesson earlier that day. This is poetically beautiful!
Varys is really pushing it here. Already people don't like him but he's going out on a limb and now team RWBY strongly suspects he is the one behind the attempt on Yang and the Assassination of the King. One more screw up and they likely have him and while they're at it, likely Baelish too...
The Question becomes, assuming reliable two way transportation, could Remnant actually send a force to take the Kingdoms and hold them? Because their resources were stretched thin as it was fighting the Grimm.
I'm really, really hoping that the girls could be a good influence on Joffrey and turn him away from the little shit he was in canon. But I got the feeling he's hiding his true self and biding his time to do something really, really stupid.
Its amazing how the sheer implicit threat of a super human beatdown is enough to keep things mostly calm and keep people rational. Still not stopping the intrigue, but for the moment, things are peaceful.
I'd love for Team RWBY to investigate or learn of Valyrian steel. Get their thoughts on it and how it compares to Aura enhanced weapons. like, how would Longclaw compare to Crocea Mors?
on another note, Team RWBY could forestall the war entirely by going to the Westerlands or meeting Tywin in a...
See if I get this straight. Team RWBY somehow got Stannis to back down from attempting to overthrowing Joffrey due to purely a legal argument that punches holes in his claims? Man, someone mark that down, cause that is a FIRST for Stannis. Renly knows they're gonna have to deal with Joffrey...
What I'm curious about is why Robert's Aura didn't manifest. He's human and has a soul so, theoretically he should have Aura once Yang did her soul Jumper cables thing...Maybe he was too far gone to help?
I see. Well then it's very possible Ruby and to a lesser extent Yang had it fly over their heads. No offense to those two but they don't pick up on subtlety to well. Where as Weiss and Blake are quicker on the uptake.
Wait. Has anyone explained to the girls how Trial by Combat works? If not, she's about to be in the same boat as Yang, only this time its deliberate. Or does Blake already know and accept it? I could be wrong, but it looks like she does but the others don't. Am I reading too much into this?
I just gotta say, whoever came up with the signatures of 'you're first time is over so quickly' and 'being a virgin'...lol! That shit is pure gold! Whoever came up with that is a genius!
