Here he was, Lucas Lunaris, on his way to Beacon Academy to train as a Huntsman. On the outside, he would appear calm, cool, and collected, however on the inside he was freaking out, both from excitement and nervousness. So many questions were running through his head and he couldn't calm down. What would his classes be like? Would they have to fight live Grimm? What would the teachers be like? What about his teammates? Would they like him? Would he like them? Would any of them be Faunus as well? Would they tease him for being a Faunus? Would he have to fight them because of said teasing? He clutched his Katana, Sogeki Ken (Literally Sniper Sword) in his left hand to try and ease his nervousness as he looked at the others riding with him. He hadn't spoken to anyone since their departure, preferring to be alone in the corner during the trip. He noticed a few other Faunus and was slightly relieved that he wouldn't be the only one.

Sarah sits in her seat spinning the barrel of her minigun as she waits for the signal that they have arrived. With every click of the barrel she slightly speeds up the rate at which she spins it, eventually getting pretty fast before someone asks her if her minigun is heavy. She smiles "You wanna try pick it up? It's only like one hundred and thirty pounds or something. I'm not one hundred percent on that tho." the person shook their head. The two chatted for a while before returning to waiting for the trip to Beacon to finish. Sarah was super pumped, she didn't know who her team/roommates were going to be but she was sure they'd be great, and she wasn't sure when they would start fighting but she was sure it would be quickly. She was almost bouncing with excitement at the thoughts going through her head. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. I can't take this waiting much longer!

Actus woke with a start. He'd decided that the best thing to do was to try and get some sleep on the trip over from Atlas that way he could approach Beacon fresh and ready. The buzzing in his ears from his helmet put pay to the thought however, he went instinctively to rub the sleep from his eyes before remembering that he was still wearing his helmet mask. Unclipping the mask and resting it in his lap Actus started to think about the days ahead.

From what he'd read students were grouped into teams. Those teams had one leader, and shared dorms and attended classes together. What had annoyed him however, was that there was no record of how these teams were formed. Actus hoped the students got to choose. He couldn't bear the thought of having to work with a bunch of loud ill-disciplined sorts. Somebody quiet he thought, someone like him, that'd be ideal.

Byzantine did nothing, except for breathing, swaying her legs back and forth, and thinking. Her seat was a bit too high to reach without jumping. Yes, she was short, but still. She was probably holding her Malice too tightly, and her hand started to hurt a bit. She wanted to let go, but she was too nervous for it. There were tons of strangers around her. And she could still remember her parents' look when they saw that she was accepted to Beacon. 'As if it was obvious.' She thought. She was afraid of more pressure rather than excited to meet new friends. Eventually her eyes fell downwards, staring at the floor as if there was something special on it.
"Only if I could get away from it."
She muttered under her breath.

Just then, a news story could be heard broadcasting on the windows of the airship they were on. Lucas got up and walked over to the nearest window to get a better listen. "The robbery was lead by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department. Back to you Lisa. Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Right's protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony." At hearing mention of the White Fang and their actions, Lucas gripped his katana, his mind flashing back to visions of towns burning and White Fang members cutting down innocent humans, before he himself was told to do the same.

"The once peaceful organization has now disrupted..." Suddenly, the news feed disappeared and in it's place stood a blonde woman wearing glasses. "Hello, and welcome to Beacon!" the woman said. "My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received he honor of being selected to attend this prestigious academy. Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and as future Huntsman and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now, it is our turn to provide you with the knowledge and the training to protect our world." With that, the image disappeared and Beacon could be seen coming up as they neared their approach.

Actus looked up as he heard the news come on. Typcial he thought to himself hardly surprising that when a place lacks disciples you get crime. Then he remembered what his mother told him they're just disciplined in another way, Actus you need to remember Vale isn't Atlas.

He smiled to himself as he thought of home, putting his helmet mask back on. He cut quite a figure as he got up. Not that he was physically imposing mind, as far as his height and physical stature were concerned he was thoroughly average (at least in the present company). What made him stand out was his clothes and bearing. His martial posture, clean simple grey clothes, smooth chrome helm screamed Atlas louder than any Atlesian ship could've done.

As Beacon came into view he wondered over to a window and looked at the school he'd be attending. The majestic towers Beacon was famous soared around him and smiled behind his mask. As he looked around he spied a Faunus boy who'd been watching the news. He carried a Katana and had black cat ears. Actus hadn't met many Faunus in Atlas, and so he deiced that he'd go and introduce himself, who knows he thought he might make a good team mate, he's quiet enough.

Sarah had remained seated when the news came on, her mood dropped drastically as the story of the white fang invading a protest came on. She stood up and hoisted her minigun onto her back, then looked at the nearest screen. She was half glad when the news report was cut off being replaced with a figure she assumed was a teacher. She was able to crack a smile as the teacher introduced herself as Glynda Goodwitch and told them how lucky they were to get into Beacon.

She rolled her shoulders and cracked her fingers. Glynda had sparked Sarah's spirit and now she was really pumped. She looked out at the approaching Beacon academy and a grin crept along her face. I got a feeling this is going to be the best year of my life. Her grin only became larger as Beacon grew closer.

Byzantine looked up at the news as it showed an image of who seemed to be a criminal, followed by a news of a faunus right ceremony disupted by the White Fang. Byzantine sighed weakly. Things seemed to be quite troublesome. Just then the news was replaced by an announcement by a teacher. As it ended, Byzantine could see Beacon getting closer. 'Finally, this boring flight is about to end.' She thought as she jumped down the chair. It's been a boring trip, since she didn't feel like talking to anyone. And of course, people seemed to... 'tower' over her for the most cases. Byzantine was about to turn back to the window when her face collided with some giant weapon.
"Oh, sorry."
She said. To her luck, she didn't collide in full speed, and the pain was tolerable.

Lucas turned away from the window, trying to calm himself after seeing the news about the White Fang. He still couldn't believe they changed so much since he first joined.

The boy turned as Actus got nearer. He offered his hand to the boy nodding his head towards the window and Beacon. 'Seen anything like it before?' he inquired, 'I shan't lie I'm starting to miss the snow'.

Lucas looked up to see someone talking to him, and looked around to make sure he wasn't talking to someone behind him or something. "No, there was nothing like this back in Mistral." he said.

Sarah heard a little dink and turned around. She didn't see anything at first then looked down, a tiny girl had collided with her weapon. She actually couldn't help but aww a little. "No it's alright, my gun is a little cumbersome. I'm surprised nobody had run into it yet honestly." She smiled down at this new possible friend. "The name is Sarah. Nice to meet you!" She extended a hand out to the girl with a warm smile on her face. She is actually so adorable... She briefly looked out at Beacon as it drew even closer. It was almost time to take the first step to becoming a huntress. She quickly turned back to the little girl not wanting to be rude.

'Mistral huh? heard it's quite a nice place if you can get past the heat. Know anything about this place? I read a lot about Beacon but couldn't find much on the teams that sort of thing.' He replied, noting the boy's somewhat standoffish nature, a good start he thought to himself.

"No, just that Beacon was one of the best schools to go to to become and Huntsman." he said, as they began to dock, arriving at Beacon.

Byzantine shook Sarah's hand. The difference in thd height made Byzantine raise her arm a bit higher.
"I'm Byzantine, nice to meet you."
She glanced at Sarah's weapon. There seemed to be lots of words to describe it, and one obvious one was 'intimidating'. It looked as if Sarah was holding a Byzantine on her back. 'That'd be weird.' She thought as she imagined this towering girl holstering herself on the back. Hmm, weird. Instead of answering back with another smile, Byzantine ended up with a rather neutral face, with a slight color of confusion from the thought she just came up with. 'What a face to show, Bizz.' She told herself.

'Famous the world over from what I here.' The craft shook a little as it docked, 'Looks like we're here, catch you around, I'm Actus'.

"Lucas." he said, waiving him off as he got off the airship, taking in the view of Vale and Beacon, making his way to the statue in the courtyard.

Sarah couldn't help but find Byzantine's look of slight confusion adorable like a dog tilting its head. She looked out the window to see that they were finally docking, she let out a little woohoo the look back down at Bizz. "Well Byzantine, it looks like were're docking. Better get ready to meet all our teachers! Oh this is so exciting!" Sarah could barely contain her excitement. She was happy she'd made a new friend, all of her other friends were out in the country non of them really wanted to become huntsman or huntresses. She knew she would miss them but was determined to become a huntress. She then gestured for Byzantine to walk ahead of her and hopefully avoid more collisions.

Actus looked around as he got off the ship. He was glad his mask was tinted it was much to bright for his liking the sun beaming down all over the white grey stone of the courtyard. He wondered around somewhat aimlessly at first, there'd been no instructions regarding what to do on arrival, so he decided to observe the new students around him, to try and identify some good teammates.

He saw a few people here and there, some with spears, other clutching rifles. His hands wondered over Corvus and Corax the two gauntlets feeling safe and familiar even in such a new place. He was surprised to see so many Faunus around, not that he had anything against them he just wasn't used to being around them. He marvelled at the various shapes and sizes of the various Faunus, noting the tail on one, the scales on another. He was very glad his mask didn't allow people to see his face, if they could've he was quite certain that he'd look like an idiot.

As he wondered he spied a growing group of people, and decided to follow the throng and see what they were going to stare at. Maybe they know where we'll get our orders?He thought to himself.

This time, Byzantine could finally manage an awkward smile as she walked ahead of Sarah. 'She's nice.' She thought. Byzantine looked back at Sarah before she continued heading for the exit, and to Beacon.
"You can call me Bizz. Uhh, if we meet again."
She said and trotted away fast. As her feet reached out into the courteyard and out of the airship, Byzantine covered her eyes at the bright sunlight. Staying indoors staring at the floor until the last minute wasn't really a good idea when it was extremely sunny outside. Groaning weakly, Byzantine walked into the middle of the courteyard and through a forest of what seemed to be taller people. 'I didn't drink enough milk.' She protested meagerly inside her mind. And these people had tall weapons, too. She looked at Malice. Long, but still shorter than others. Even if it was in scythe mode.
