OH SHIT!

Yes, you are not decieving yourselves, I have actually pulled myself out of bed and have put out a Where From Here thread on time. That hasn't happened in weeks and I'm proud of it (I'll probably be better about the time after restarting college, ironically). And now, the updates:


 * We open this Lie Ren centric episode with...Oscar, finally leaving home. But while leaving, he finds he doesn't have enough Lien to pay the ticket. Then Hazel comes by and gives him a discount, telling him to do what everyone else on the Sprinter does, and ride for free. Apperently Ospin knew him, telling him to be cautious of him.


 * Ruby and Jaune arrive in Kuroyuri, but there's no one there and there's no pharmacy.


 * A flashback occurs, with a young Ren finding a water lily, and told to buy something for his father, Hanzo Shimada. He tries buying weapons, but gets looked down on. He tries buying liquor, with similar results. Eventually he stumbles upon Nora, who is a street urchin being picked on by street youths, while Ren stands by and watches. Ren's father comes by and scares off both, telling Ren to stand up and do shit for a change and to stop dying his hair (stupid kids, with their fashions and picking on street urchins).


 * Jaune couldn't find a damn thing while Qrow has settled into another poison tree to sleep in (since the last one did numerous wonders for his health). Ruby is begining to crumple under possibly sending everyone to their deaths, but Jaune cheers her up, stating she's lost more and still pressed on.


 * A large roar cries out across the land of flashback town, and Ren's mother wakes him up, with his father comes in really needing a glass of Sake. The beast is coming and is so much a big deal they need to get out now. Ren's mother tells Ren everything's going to be alright and then promptly dies. Ren's father took him out while he was sleeping, gives him a knife (since he can't run anymore) and then tells him to run for it while he has a last stand with what seems to be one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.


 * Ren is there crying near a bridge as he spots Nora hiding under a building. His aura unlocking, he goes to her and (rather quickly >.>) mans up and calms them both down, earning a hug from Nora (unlocking her aura(?)). The Horseman walks by none the wiser and Ren risks his life to give Nora a dinky toy hammer.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUN!
 * In the present, Ren and Nora are making their way across the mountain, with Nora unsubtly flirting (maybe). They find a cave, and out flies the banner of Sheon, which was miles away by this point. They go in and find a treasure cove of weaponry, including one of Ren's father's arrows. The cave is the Horseman's lair, and it appears to be coming back. They go out to face it, Nora taking the opporunity to grab Ren's hand...

Ok Speculation time!
