Got The Life II
AN: SO, got some pretty good reception on chapter one, so i guess ill continue on this then. Nothing more. Dont forget to leave a review, follow and favorite, and worship at your nearest church of Serj Tankian.
Edit 9/15: Fixing some grammar mistakes.
Huh...Well then.
That happened.
I go to open the message, but stop right as my finger is above the 'view' button. People may not be out and about now, but they will be soon. I'd need someplace more private. Someplace like...The library.
I spot said building just ahead of me and walk over to it's entrance and opening the doors before stepping inside. Big freaking surprise, this place was absolutely gargantuan as well, lined with bookshelves upon bookshelves with books that Probably never even existed up until this point. But, I couldn't focus on that right now. I had to see what this message was, first and foremost.
Finding a secluded spot in the back with a beanbag chair, I plop down on it and check around one last time for prying eyes. Guaranteed that there were none, I open up the message and begin to read.
{Hello Dalton.}
{You're probably sitting there right now wondering to yourself "What's going on","Why am I here", things like that. Dont worry, I can answer all of these questions and more.}
{You are currently in Jaune's body, hopefully you figured out that much so far. You must now take up where he left off. Now, where did Jaune go exactly?This part is actually kinda depressing, actually. You see, last night around 11:38 PM, Jaune Arc died of a thing called Massive Aura Overload. I've heard the process is extremely painful.}
…
Oh.
Well.
That sucks.
{Don't feel too bad. He was asleep when it happened, so he felt relativly nothing.}
I just stop and think about that for a second. After all the things Jaune went through, the transcripts, the training, initiation...Jaune just dies because of his huge Aura? Just like that? That fucking blows, man.
Wait... If Jaune had that…
AND IM CURRENTLY IN JAUNES BODY...
{It wont happen to you. I checked.}
Oh thank god.
{So, seeing as how Jaune actually has a large role in the story, I couldn't just let it end there. So, I went looking for some semi-random person to fulfil his role, and found you sitting there doing nothing. Congratulations, you basically won the lottery.}
Oh.
Well when you put it that way, I can't really be mad.
{Right now, you are a couple of days away from the events of Jaundice. Seeing as how you know everything that happens from now to the end of Volume 2, you should be able to help the story if you so choose.}
{Now, that being said, What you do now is entirely up to you. Want to stay with team JNPR and continue with the story? Join the White Fang? Aid Cinder? The choice is yours, Dalton. Hell, you can even try convincing them of who you are if you want.}
{P.S. 'Cause I knew you would wine and bitch and complain without it, I gave you your little book and guitar, as well as took the liberty to put a couple thousand songs from Earth that you like on Jaune's scroll. I would suggest keeping this under wraps, but like I said, the choice is yours.}
And that was it. i closed the message box and messed around with the scroll for a bit until I found a music app and opened it. true to the person's word, there was easily over a thousand songs stored on it, even some mashups and remixes from youtube. But wait, how am I supposed to listen to it if I don't have any headpho-
*DING*
{Check your pockets.}
I do as the message said and find a pair of wireless headphones in my pocket.
"Well that's fortunate." I say as I stick them both in my ears and select a random song.

Alright, time to process all of this new shit.
Okay, im guessing that since i'm now in Jauney-boy's body, I should retain his aura and skills, whatever the hell all of those are. But a good question is, what are all of them exactly?
First things first, Jaune has an insane amount of Aura. So that means if I can get my hands on some Aura control books and techniques, I could build Jaune's body up to be a Juggernaut or something equally powerful. That, coupled with his large shield, could possibly work out pretty well. And that's not even taking Jaune's semblance into account.
I remember my Co-Author pointed out to me once in a conversation we were having that a character's semblance has ties to one's personality. That kind of throws me off, though. Seeing as how he hadn't even unlocked his aura until a short while ago, and it seemingly takes awhile to unlock one's semblance. But even more concerning than that, will the semblance take after his old personality, or will it take after mine? Who's to say it won't mix between both of us? If it were Jaune's, i would put my money on something like a protective shield or maybe a healer's powers, due to him always being eager to assist others. But me?
I couldn't honestly think of one that would come from me. I mean, I didn't really know what to call my personality. Quirky? Probably. So then what sort of semblance would that generate? Shooting fucking lasers out of my mouth?
…
IMAH FIRIN MAH LAZAH!
"Blaaah!" I say aloud as I mime shooting lasers out of my mouth before chuckling to myself at the thought. That would be awesome as all hell.
I then take a look at my new scroll and see it is currently six o clock. Even if today is a school day, classes don't start until nine. No one ever said I have to sit and think, so I think i'll just go on a walk while I think over the rest of my shit, my fatass needs some excersice. As I step out of the library and begin to wander, i continue my thought process.
While i'm on the subject of Jaune's abilities, should I use Crocea Mors? I mean sure, it's simple to use and it would probably raise a few brows that Jaune suddenly switches his weapon, but still. I need to be sure to use whatever is easiest and most effective. Maybe i'll talk to Ruby about it, she's the weapons nut.
I smile at the incredulous thought. That honestly sounded like something a freaking loon would say, and who knows, maybe I am. But right now, this is real. In a little bit, i could be talking to Ruby Freaking Rose. That's awesome.
What weapon would I use, though? A two-handed claymore that morphs into a LMG? An axe-ak47? A…
…
Yes. YES.
THAT ONE.
