Alright.

That's fine. You've beaten most of the other people on the mission to the punch, after all.

By the way, folks, don't jerk toward the Edit button, just thought I'd say: nobody uses Morse Code. It's a complete Hollywood thing nowadays.

Me reading Teams J_CL and BASL's mission:

Not to be contradictory and Hari might know more about this but while Morse Code has fallen into a bit of an archaic state it's not gone altogether. Most Navies stopped using it at the end of the '90s but it's still used today in aviation for identification purposes. It's also used for people with severe motor disabilities, as an example, Stephen Hawking's computer aid interprets how he moves one of his cheek muscles in mores code and translates it into speech.

It might not be quite as common now as it was twenty years ago but Morse Code isn't gone. It wouldn't be a stretch to assume that people with a military or radio background would still be well versed in it. And if this Distillery is outside of Vale's borders hiring a communications official would be a necessary precaution so while I can't see your average run of the mill guy knowing Morse Code it would be feasible for someone at the Distillery to be versed in it.

Though you are right Morse Code has become something of a Hollywood cliche.

Also to the team at the Distillery if the guy transmitting doesn't know anyone is receiving he will be sending a short repeating message so don't get too wordy.

EDIT: Though now that I actually read the post, why would you flash something in mores code on a com system? If pressing this 'answer' button will open communications between wherever the survivor is and the team's location then Morse Code would be completely unnecessary as he could just keep redialing the panel over and over again.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Just didn't know how to word it so instead I made a joke that they should just answer it.

Amy's death is up.

Hope it tears you up as much as it did me writing it.

I feel like mine wasn't heart breaking enough, I have this nagging feeling that the ending wasn't vivid enough.

Luke is going to be so disappointed

I WILL ANSWER THE CALL.

Wish me luck.

I did a thing with Source Filmmaker again!



Also I might poke at the contest as well :o

Done!

well that made things simpler

How are we explaining what happened to Team _PGD again? What's Priscilla doing at some random dust distillery?

From my understanding, Greyson and Daniel are still MIA with their whereabouts unknown. Priscilla left Beacon for a family emergency in the middle of the night and wasn't able to get back in touch. I think a relative she was helping worked at the distillery so that's why she's there.

Well that doesn't sound half assed and last minute at all. You'd think if three students up and vanished the first thing Ozpin would do would be to contact there families in which case he would have listed her as "returned home" rather than "3/4 vanished without trace"

I'm not the one who came up with it. You should talk to Lugu and the other Prince if you want to help create a new, better sounding reason.

Well damn. I can just delete the post and make some new char or something.

... Or find another alternative?

No, don't do that! Other Prince was just saying that they thought the reason that has been created just seems rushed. You don't have to completely scrap your character.
