Professor Arc

Chapter 4

Okay notes here, sorry for the delay (and length of these notes!), I spent all the weekend at a wedding anniversary for a gay couple, except it wasn't a wedding anniversary technically due to it being illegal til recently, more of a relationship one. ANYWAY. I had to be there as it was a big deal, as when they got together one was told he had only three months to live. So three years is so HUGE for them!

Anyway! The story, wow the response. Thank you all for loving this so much and casting your votes. There were more options requested than I have, so I added them to the tallies as best I could. The big danger here is always that whatever I choose, I will annoy loads of people. And while I'm sure 85% of you will be like "I just voted, I don't mind if you don't use mine." Some people were a little more aggressive with their votes... heh... heh... help me.

So to those whose choice didn't win, I am sorry! But I've tried to address all the concerns raised by those people, so please don't assume I've erased their previous team from existence, I have given them a believable reason, and due to it. That team will actually feature in this fic, more than they otherwise would! Yayz!

Ahem to the point:

NPR - Team of three - 4

Penny (surprising amount of love) : 4

OC - I said I wouldn't, but it got love : 5

Sun "Mother-effing" Wukong : 9

Velvet "can't think of a middle" Scarlatina : Stopped counting at 15.

I had a lot of votes privately by PM too for some reason. Those who voted for multiple, were entered into both, unless it clearly stated which you preferred MORE.

So there we go, Velvet with the landslide. Now then to address concerns. I will not tear CFVY apart, I've thought of a way that could work, with a little advice from Gravespawn in a review. It will fit, and though I don't clearly mention in the fic at this point, CFY will be involved in here. Given the reason she is here as a first year, it makes sense that they would want to keep in touch with her, and make sure she is okay. So they will actually have "more" input than they normally would. Also I won't make an OC for the team, they are an established team and have proven themselves as far as Ozpin is concerned. Also it's easy to "add a person" to a 1st year team, but it's not like he could pull an older student out of his arse for their team.

So no more delays, here we go!

I'm so sorry for the Lord of the Rings reference in here, I could not resist it, as it fits the in-joke I'm hoping to build perfectly.

Jaune yawned blearily as he watched the students begin to stumble to their feet, the early risers already making their way out of the showering rooms with a vigour that made him want to cry. His eyes were fighting a losing battle for wakefulness, and his legs had given up on him hours ago.

When he'd offered to take this responsibility away from Miss Goodwitch he had been expecting a number of things. Firstly that it would help her, and thus would ingratiate himself with her. She was his best source of information and advice at this academy, and he could honestly say his best supporter. Beyond that he had hoped to take what he knew would be a relatively simple task, lest the Headmaster assign him something else, something that he might not have been able to handle.
