[i]'Well... that was... something...'[/i] What else could such an uncomfortable meeting be called? Well, at least it was over now, yes? He stood there for a moment as Aurelia darted off into the distance. Was it possible that he'd actually met someone worse at this than he was? Maybe. His anxiety got to him when people were around, but she seemed just plain [i]bad[/i] at dealing with people. Whatever the case was, he still didn't have any room to judge. Those thoughts aside, he decided he'd better hurry and follow her. It had been his suggestion for them to get going after all. It would have been weird if he'd just ended up standing there...

That said he didn't exactly bother catching up to her. He'd get there when he got there... with a nice little bubble of space around him to keep him happy.

That said, no bubble was big enough to prepare him for what he walked into. A room... with... so... many... PEOPLE! 

"I-I'll just... stand in the back..." he spoke to himself in a shaky whisper.

It seemed that everyone was finally present. And just in time.

"If I could have your attention..." A man spoke. He hadn't bothered getting anyone's attention until he was already at the microphone. He stood upon a stage above the many students gathered, and wore shaded glass spectacles, a dark-green scarf with a small purple cross-shaped emblem on it, an unzipped black suit over a black-buttoned vest, with a green undershirt underneath. He also wore black trouser shoes and long, dark-green pants. He cleared his throat. "I am Professor Ozpin, I run this academy that you have all chosen to come to. I am sure you have all come here wanting something, but I will disillusion you all now. You will be given [i]nothing.[/i] The time for simple learning is over. You will be [i]allowed[/i] to gain knowledge and you will be allowed to hone yourself. That is not to say you are going to be left to fend for yourselves, but there are no more stepping stones after this. If you do not fight for and earn everything you have decided you want now... well there are scarce few chances left after this. This is your last, best opportunity, so make it count. The world you enter after this is not a kind one." With those decidedly ominous words, he turned and walked away.

A woman who had been standing in his shadow stepped forward to take the mic. She was blonde with green eyes, wearing oval glasses. She wore a white long-sleeved suit that exposed part of her chest, and puffy sleeves that tightened near the wrist before spreading back out near her hands. Her lower body had a black business skirt with buttons running in a vertical line up the front of it and lighter black-brown stockings.She also wore black boots with brown heels and a tattered cape that was purple inside and black on the outside.

"When you are ready, head to the ballroom. You will be sleeping there for the night. Where you end up after that will be decided tomorrow, so do your best to get a good night's sleep," she told them and then also vacated the stage.
