And every other character really, but right now those two are complete enigmas even though they've had significant screentime recently.

I like the implied reasons for their choice to side with Cinder (Em wants Cinder and Merc's home life sounds shitty; both assumptions based on few lines but tis all we have to go on, as KM points out)
Same.

dramatization of the emberald scene from V2Ch1:
And she did that in front of Roman too (who they are working with yes but they're associates through Cinder not buds) 's pretty confident.

I wonder how much of this relationship is based on lies (like if Cinder is genuinely fond of Em but isn't above using her for her plans
or if she was intentionally manipulating her from the very start when she took her in off the streets [based on that "street rat" comment Roman uses to refer to her])
~~go for the latter, rip out my heart, chapter 6 has already broken it anyway~~

bodtsfreckles wrote:Mercury: Okay so what's the next step in the plan?
Cinder: I need you to break your leg
Mercury: W H Y
Cinder: FOR THE PLAN
I think they both knew about the general plan. Cinder's shown alone in the stands, Merc's for the majority of the match is confident (even after Yang gets back up in a blaze of fire), and Emerald's conveniently right there to cry out Mercury's name after he takes the hit, run to comfort him, and to give Yang that accusatory glare. If Em was out of the loop I feel like there would have been some hint of surprise on her face, but the whole act seems so calculated. ~~and maybe she relishes merc in pain a bit who knows lol~~

Whether they knew the specifics or the end of the plan is up in the air. Or if Merc's leg being broken was intentionally planned. It might have just been "Throw the fight, but make it look convincing; Em/Neo will take care of things from there, so just let her get a hit in on you afterward, don't defend yourself."

He just might not have been expecting that hit to result in a broken leg lol
He's able to think straight enough to channel that pain into a convincing act instead of just screaming out (permissible) expletives
He might have experienced worse at the hands of his dad.

Alternatively it just might have been "throw the fight and we'll take care of the rest" to Mercury while Emerald knew what was going to happen.

if she says “i saw mercury try to sucker punch me, so somebody was fucking with either me or the audience,” that is a real thing that could happen in this world. they have to accept that possibility. and there must be some way of knowing, otherwise anyone incriminated in anything could just shrug and say “shapeshifting. illusions. mind control. how should i know”
She can't be the only one to have ever had a Semblance like this but she's the only one we've seen so far use illusions (that we can be sure of at this point in time).
Thinking about this more she could be so doubtful of herself and feel that she deserves whatever punishment they give her that she doesn't even try to voice a defense for herself.

Cinder and Co. played this well. Of all the students they studied for a semester (I don't actually know how much time it was but it was for awhile at least), and of all the ones to advance to the Finals, Yang gave them a golden exploitation opportunity.

Anyone who saw the WY Doubles match knows she has a temper, it's tied up with her Semblance. Neon exploited it too (for much less malicious intentions but still), it isn't and isolated incident.

And with how big of an event this tournament is so many people saw it (though I do have to pause because of this)

And we see why - the crowd’s negative emotion began to attract the attention of the Grimm on Vale’s outskirts. So they were probably trying to stop the broadcast from spreading that emotion to the rest of the country.

Which makes me think my god, Remnant must have the most boring TV ever. Happy endings and fluffy feelings 24/7.

Show gets too popular? Woe betide the producers if they ever hit too many feels. Depressing news? Euphemisms or you’re going to get a Grimm invasion within the hour.

Their censors must have a helluva job.
So many people are going to be saying shit about her, and she's probably going to believe it.

It's gonna weigh on her and her friends.

"What is she even doing in the tournament if she can't control herself?"
"Can't believe this is our future generation of hunters. Disgraceful."
"She better be expelled at the very least."
"Horrid." "Brutal." "Cruel." "Vicious." "Monster."

All these things that could be applied to certain aspects of her (because she has given brutal beatdowns before), but they aren't the whole her. And I think hearing that stuff could really get to RWB.

Ruby: THAT'S IT!
Weiss: RUBY NO! *grabs onto her hoodie* We already have one of you sisters in jail we don't need you sharing a cell!
Weiss: That goes for you too, Blake!
Blake: *slowly puts Gambol Shroud back in its proper place while trying to hide a scowl*
it's only a problem if she'd get caught tho and blake wouldn't get caught,
'cause she's ace like that

i need to stop imagining these scenarios because there's only so much they can put in an episode/a volume
But wow, what a great set up with so many routes that could be taken...

...though I know you don't feel the same lol. I think it'll be nice to see those bonds of family and friendship reinforced here though.

Also I think it's a bit better that Yang was set up as opposed to Weiss (i'm terrible i know)
because Weiss has a whole extra set of problems that would come from being a Schnee
Imagine if Neo had impersonated a faunus student and Weiss "attacked" her
ooooo boy (so juicy)

Also also maybe now people are finally going to start looking into just who the hell this team from Haven is that nobody has seen before on campus/taught
Maybe Em and Merc have been attending classes for awhile in preparation for this whole plan but I find it hard to believe Cinder was posing as a student before they infiltrated Beacon.

's all I got for now.

Merry Christmas, jo:
