[b]Luke Schwarze-- Just inside Beacon, Looking for direction[/b]

He allowed himself to pause for but a moment, inhaling and exhaling once as if to reset an adrenaline spike's affects on the heartrate, and entered the Academy proper. If only he could have transferred in time with the rest of the class, he'd at least have a gaggle of other people as company in this particular endeavor. There was something to be said for the power of numbers. A sense of community could turn a coward into a hero, and yet the same pressure of that community could change him right back, as if flipping a switch. Well, funny he should mention that. Now that he was here, the nerves seemed to have faded, giving way to curiosity and an odd sense of calm.

Resignation towards one's own fate, huh?

He smirked.

[i]Mom wouldn't know whether to praise me or kill me.[/i]

One hand creeping out of the pocket of his hoodie and onto the straps of his trusty, tannish-green backpack, he scanned his surroundings for some kind of hint. Place like Beacon had to have a constant flow of transfer students just like him, right? Might even be some sort of orientation office set up. Hell, he was actually surprised that he sort of stuck out right now. Definitely wasn't the only kid on the airship up, he knew that. He'd had his spot looking out the window neighbored by two guys from Vacuo talking about the finer points of a girl's underwear. [i]Definitely[/i] didn't need to go that far to prove he wasn't the only one aboard.

Well, he'd nearly jumped in himself to educate them on how it wasn't merely the fact that it was in that spot, but rather the mystique and imagination provoking-qualities that made them so alluring, not to mention the surprising amount they could tell you about a girl...

[i]But that's neither here nor there.[/i]

He grimaced, beginning to feel uncomfortable again. Had he by chance missed a handout, or forgotten an itinerary at home? He wouldn't be surprised. It was one thing that he packed light, that much was obviously true, but it was another to leave necessary items for his habitation at home! Seriously, he could be missing so much! Potentially failing even before he'd had his first class! Oh man, what if he'd stuck it in an adult literature book or something! He'd [i]die[/i] of embarrassment!

[i]Calm down, Luke. In times of stress, you need to remain rational. 

I sometimes wonder if I should have done drama.

...

Nah.[/i]

He'd needed to head to an Ozpin's office at some point if he remembered right...

[i]Let's start there. I can probably find directions just asking around. Well, step one onto a new life, right? 

Might make a friend.[/i]
