8) It's quite likely the prices are just different (that's how economy works. Even with the same currency, different cities can have different prices for the same things), or they went up after Vale got rektd.

Also, Shiro's tab being what Qrow normally would pay for doesn't mean anything. If anything it makes Qrow look richer than he seemed before, being able to waste on drinks what a fellow Huntsman owed the ramen guy for months semi-frequently (assuming he didn't drink every damn day). 1) Point taken

2) Thing is, we don't know if Menagerie can still just call Mistral. The only indication of contact between the two was a video message of Adam sent to the Albains, something capable of relay via courier, not via contact over Scroll. Especially since the device used to play it appears to be on a message player fuction since before Ilia met with them in that scene, it said message end.

3) Point taken

4) Not sure you caught my edit, but it was said to be the latest in a series of letters. So unless Ruby has a stack of letters just sitting in the Post Office for months on end, or Tai and Yang got them and ignored them, they received none of Ruby's letters.

5) Getting tired of saying this, but Point Taken. Honestly, the CCT in itself just seems poorly designed IMO. Knocking one down instantly kills the array, which is dumb. I've seen fanfic writers try to change this by ignoring that aspect, but it just opens up more plot holes doing so.

6) Considering the size of the swarm of Sphinx and Manticore's however coming upon Argus, there were alot in the mountains surrounding Argus. So being in a stationary spot means the Lamp is a stationary magnet. Even taken an actual magnet and put a thumbtack in front of it? The thumbtack gets pulled to it. But if you're constantly moving the magnet around the thumbtack just moves after it or ignores it.

7) Except we've seen they are. Not only are her two best soldiers the Nubucks, who are basically her personal cheer squad, the other soldiers were more focused on watching Cordovin attempt to murder the heroes and cheer her on than pay attention to the radars. They may not be as overzealous as her, they are damn near close.

8) The fact she didn't ask seems to suggest they can't ask, especially considering since Cordovin didn't immediately radio Atlas when the missing former Heiress shows up on her doorstep and refused to come home alone. You think she'd at least let Winter or Ironwood know so they'd alert Jacques.

9) Honestly this would be a lot easier if we had a conversion rate. Cause if Shiro's tab was 16k for just Ramen and Drinks, when a standard bowl of ramen is at most 800 yen, rougly 7.5 USD, or 1000 yen with all toppings, roughly 9.1 USD, then the only issue would be factoring in the alcohol. If it was purely ramen however, we'd only need the cost of a single bowl to determine how much Shiro actually owed. Without that, we can't even tell how much the tab was, as even if you assume the bare minimum of say, 200 lien a bowl, then that would mean 1 lien is .25 yen, meaning Shiro would have owed 4000 yen, which is about 37 USD for Ramen.
