Aoi was standing at the edge of the observation deck of one of the airships heading to Beacon, resting her elbows on the railing and her head on her palms, smiling, gently swaying her head from side to side with closed eyes, humming. Her tail was wagging along with the melody, while her ears turned towards every new sound. This place was full of new sounds. And smells. And sights. Everything was different from Mistral.
“Greetings passengers. This airship will be arriving at Beacon in a few minutes. We hope you've enjoyed the trip.” The voice of the captain was coming from a speaker in the compartment behind her. All the other new students were in there, but she was more interested in seeing the place she would be spending the next couple of years. Suddenly, her ears turned at the sound of approaching footsteps.

Sage stood toward the center of the observation deck, against a wall and well away from the windows. She looked around at the other students, arms cross over her chest. She wasn't particularly interested in Vale from a bird's eye view. Flying wasn't the farm girl's sort of thing. She yawned, unfolding her tanned arms to stretch them over her head. She caught sight of a faunus eagerly staring out the window, tail wagging obnoxious. She rolled her eyes, her arms crossing again as she pushed away from the wall to look around at the other students. She wondered what sort of people she'd be fighting alongside as she trained at Beacon.

Nero was relaxing with his hands on the back of his head, and looking up at the ceiling. He was bored, the ship was full of new nervous students who were to afraid to even move. Nero sighed, putting his hand on his face, he knew none of the students could even come close to either fighting with of against him but he would have to live and work with them until his schooling was over. He could almost bet that none of these students even had any combat experience.

But saying the truth about there weakness in front of his future students was not the best idea, he would have to play nice for now. What a better opportunity was there than introducing himself to the other men and women on the ship. Nero looked around the deck, noticing a faunus with cat ears, and a taned girl with dark blonde hair walking around the deck. Nero made his choice, he stood up and walked toward the girl the dark blonde hair. He stopped in front of her and introduced himself, "Well hello there, my the names Nero nice to meet you, what's your name" Nero asked with a smile.

Lupus Sat down on a bench breathing heavily. because of the Fact their where so many people crammed onto the airship. He pulled out a Small book Called Grimore of Grim. and Settle down to read as he slowly turned the page He looked outside the door window Seeing a Farmgirl. Not that he was one to judge But she seemed like not much of a close quarters combatant. Lupus pulled his hat down low over his eyes He didn't want to be found out as a faunus He didn't want to go through the bullying of his youth once more. No not again Never again. Sighing heavily Lupus Suddenly pulled his eyes up as he heard a Man speak Introducing himself as Nero "well an't you The Polite Gentlemen" Lupus said under his breath as he eyed the guy callously. he seemed like a Swordsmen Considering how he moved and how Much control he had over his limbs "pfft bet he couldn't even kill a Pack leader" Lupus thought before turning back to his book.

Valion stretched as he heard the announcement that they were finally getting closer to Beacon and threw his shield onto his back which covered his entire torso as he looked around. Guess I should say high to people. He thought with a smile before he went up to anyone who would look at him and introduced himself as Valion Demackion before moving on to the next person. He soon made his way onto the observation deck and looked around for anyone and he saw a faunus girl standing one side of the deck and decided to go introduce himself like the rest. "Hey there, I'm Valion Demackion. Nice to meet you." He told the white haired girl with fox ears as he stepped up next to her with a smile on his face as he enjoyed the view from the deck.

Observation Deck Soran Blackwood

Soran stood leaning against a wall looking over all the potential hunters and huntresses. Their are so many interesting looking people, scanning the deck, remembering faces that he could never forget, crucial for a detective of his standards. Faces.... Done. Remembered all of them and this ones seems interesting, need to introduce myself, make friends fast otherwise, what will happen to Soran. No one would know if I disappeared! That's it, meet people. Soran walked towards his target... i mean potential friend. Hmm, he seems to be talking to a white fox girl, looks like i must introduce myself to both. But what if she doesn't like me, or he doesn't, then i'd have no one and these guys seem interesting. No. Go up to them now Soran. His legs had stopped next to the other two people now. "Umm, H-h-hi," he said giving an awkward smile and little wave.

Michelle didn't even try to talk to others, preferring to stare out the window, watching the landscape slowly move below her. She preferred higher heights; it was where she felt most comfortable. Her sniper rifle Artemis was by her side, and her pistols were in their holsters. Everything was just fine. Or at least she hoped it would be.

Icara Sorus was standing on the very top deck of the airship, out in the open air. She leaned against the railing and looked down at the City of Vale slowly rolling past far below. Any other person would've suffered horrible vertigo at the sight of such a drop, but Icara was unfazed. Infact she seemed to feed on the view. Icara was excited, to say the least. She'd never been to Vale before and, now that she was going to be attending Beacon Academy, she had a whole new city to explore. She smiled brightly as her eyes devoured that city, adventure was waiting for her down there, she just knew it. By the time she graduated from Beacon, she'd have made a name for herself and would be able to return to her family with pride.

Icara closed her eyes as a lovely breeze blew her way, running through her blonde hair and whipping the tails of her blue scarf out behind her. She opened her eyes and turned her attention upwards towards the wide blue sky. There was barely a cloud to be seen and the sun was shining brightly, glinting off the metal backpack that was strapped tightly to her back. It all served to heighten her good mood. Her excitement grew and finally she couldn't contain it any more. She leapt up onto the railing, to stand precariously on the edge of the abyss. Her face was still turned up towards the sky and she spread her arms out wide, seemingly oblivious to the drop just a misplaced foot away, and let out a whoop of joy.

Aoi turned to the new arrival, who had introduced himself Valion, and thought to herself He seems nice enough... they all do. This should be fine. She smiled and gave a short bow. “I'm Aoi. Aoi Yukitsune. Nice to meet you too.”
As Soran approached, she turned and waved. “Hello. You don't have to be nervous. I am sure we'll get along nicely. I'm Aoi. What's your name?”

Lupus's eye's lifted from his book he had been walking around the airship reading When On top deck He noticed the Girl who was Either Incredibly Brave or Incredibly Dense leaning over the airship railing. She was oblivous to how close she was to falling off it didn't look like She could Save herself either. She seemed with that metal backpack she would fall to her death or get so badly injured she would be slaughtered by grimm, which was A bad way to go by any measure.

and then she had to Cheer to rub it in the face of death didn't she "Stupid girl" Lupus whispered as he edge Closer "hey Shouldn't you not be leaning so far You Could fa-" he started before Being Blown Right to the edge of the Top Deck his feet have hanging on the edge He felt Dazed He noticed a Group of kids look of horror the one who had caused the explosion purely by accident as he lost His balance and swore when he tumbled off the side of Airship.

as he fell at a fast pace he drew his sword he couldn't concentrate that well Closing his Eyes Lupus drove it into a gap. IT Lodged albeit haphazardly it would soon slip holding on with both hands Lupus looked up "great what a great way to start off my first trip to beacon" Lupus finished when his sword Came free and he started Plummeting towards the ground "i bloody Hate Air travel" Lupus Cried as he fell. the appearing below rushing up to grab him...

Sage blinked as she was greeted by another student, a warm smile causing her dimples to show. (Idk what Nero looks like, Loki, 'cause the images aren't working on his CS.) "Hello," she responded, taking off her hat out of politeness and tilting her head in greeting. "I'm Sage. Pleased t'meet you, Nero." She opened her mouth to continue the conversation, but a blur of silver in the corner of her eye caught her attention: a student fell over the edge! "Excuse me, but you could hold this?" she asked quickly, handing the cowgirl hat to the other student.

With that, she ran across the deck and jumped off the edge of the ship. The speed at which she fell increased faster and faster until she reached the other student. "Grab on!" she called out, reaching out to grab the other student by the arms. Then, they slowed in their drop until they were still..then going up back toward the airship, where they would drop onto the deck with a less than stellar landing.

After giving the woman his own greeting, she replied him, giving him her name, which was Sage. After all the formalities, Nero was planing to try and hey to know the woman better, to get integrated into the social status of the school before it even started. But before Nero could even say a word, she gave him her hat and she disappeared over the railing of the airship, and seconds later reappeared with the conscious body of another student.

Nero was angered, but also surprised, she had just left Nero to save some idiot who fell of the ship. She wasted an opportunity to talk to the one and only Nero Caspian, reaper of the Grimm, bane of the Ursa. But Nero shrugged it off, no use getting made yet, he had not made a name for himself, he could not blame her. He walked back up the Sage and gave back her hat. "Wow, that was impressive." Nero said, whistling after he said it.

Icara had turned to look down over her shoulder at the one who spoke to her when she was hit by the blast of air and teetered for a moment. She didn't appeared worried but still tried to correct herself, her arms wind-milling comically. She noticed yet another blur fly past her, and briefly wondered why everyone was trying to fly without wings. This though was still on her mind as she lost the fight with gravity and, with a thoughtful look on her face, she dropped off the the side of the airship, even as they other two returned to the safety of the deck. She disappeared through a cloud, without a sound, and was gone.

A second passed. Then another. And then after a rather tense moment Icara soared back into view, carried by a pair of shining metal wings. She twirled in the air as she flew back up over the railing and gave another little whoop of excitement, a huge grin on her face. And then, with a controlled flap of her wings, she dropped back down onto the deck, next to the other two how had gone for a tumble with her. "Now that was fun!" She said cheerfully as her wings gave another gentle flap and then folded mechanically up behind her and into the metal backpack she wore, which slid shut seamlessly.

"Holy Crap" Lupus Said as he Tumbled back on deck Cause of a Girl Who Saved him From a very large Sickness and maybe a life threatening injury and generally a large Spot of bother. The Girl who he had Went to talk to With the metal backpack Turned out she had wings And that made Lupus feel Exceptionally stupid. Standing up Lupus brushed himself Down. as he watched The Girl with the scarf's Flight through the air. Before her abrupt landing Lupus turned to the girl with dimples who saved his ass "Thanks I owe you one Im Lupus by the way" He said As he patted his hat down as it came loose during his *Flight* through the air But even so The girl with the scarf intrested him more Because of the fact She could fly

"How the hell could you do that" Lupus said As he Looked her straight in the eye with Unmistakable Curiosity. his mind racing with idea's...

void...

Sage hopped up, shaking her hands and quickly shifting her weight between her feet after they landed, almost unaware of the sudden crowd of people. "Ohhh golly," she muttered to herself, drawing in a deep breath as she tried to calm down. The boy she had so rudely interrupted to jump off the ship approached her and threw her a compliment, to which she laughed nervously. "Nah, I was terrified--not a fan of heights," she admitted sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. Her eyes widened at the girl with the wings, who's reaction was less anxious than her own: she seemed to enjoy it. However, before she could talk to her, the other boy spoke to her.

Her green eyes turned on the boy she saved who deemed himself Lupus. "I'm Sage, pleased to meet ya," she responded, reaching up to take off her hat--though it was already off and she cleared her throat awkwardly a slight blush coming to her face. "And, er, it was my semblance is all. Some gravity control, is all," she explained vaguely and humbly, her voice trailing off as she waved her hand dismissively.
