[IC] Heroes of Beacon

[experta]

Welcoming bells rang all over Becon to greet the new students coming in. The first of the air ships were already landing, giving the freshmen their first taste of life in Becon. The bells however were not jsut for them, this was it, the exciting start of a new semester. Everybody looked excited and in a hurry to get somewhere. A perfect chance to study, have fun, make friends, this was awsome.

"Man, no wonder people work so hard to make it here. This place looks awsome."

Regi looked in awe, he had never been to a place like this before and he was on his own for the first time like ever so he was not sure yet what to make of it all. Either way, no point standing around. WIth a few grunts and struggles he tried to pull himself out of the trash can he was dumped in. Unfortunatly his efforts were in vain, the only thing he managed to achieve was tip it over.

"Uh oh....."

Regi screamed as the trashcan tumbled down with him in it. He was on a good half minute ride before finaly crashing to a full stop. After shaking off the dizzyness and getting up he examinned the trashcan after setting it back up. Good thing it was empty but it took a beating. That trashcan was well dented and maggled, it had seen shit back in it's day, Regi felt a little bad, it was kind of his fault it ended up like this anyway.

"............"

Suddenly he bend forward and lost his breakfast in the trashcan. The msot delayed motion sickness ever, adrenalin must have been calming his stomach down.....not a very good start to the day. After colelcting himself and cleaning off his dirt and stains he was back on track. Down the road were most of the new students were passing through.

"Heeeeey, Regi, ha ha, what are you doing here?"

A guy laughed when he saw Regi, flanked with two of his friends. The guy that stuffed him in the can in the first place put Regi in a headlock.

"You don't wanna be late on your first day do you? Come on let's go."

"Ha ha,,,,,,,sure......" ^^;

[Kitsune]

A small airship docked within the city, the new freshmen students within filtering out to the waiting welcoming crowd, though only one dressed in black biking leathers went around to stand at the back of the airship and stare up at the crane that was attempting to pick something off the deck.

"Careful"

"Ma'am, I have been doing this for 15 years. I can handle it"

"......... Careful ok?"

"Yes ma'am............"

Soon the large box was lowered down to the ground, where right away Maia took a crow bar to it! Stabbing the metal object into the gap between the slats before forcing the front of it off. Leaving the girl with a big smile on her face at the covered object within, only to move into the box and join it. Soon enough the cloth was thrown out and the dock workers game to investigate the mechanical noise from within, only to go slack jawed at the sight...

"I would suggest you move aside."

With a almighty roar the machine within came to life, causing the dockworkers to part right before it burst from it! What looked to be a bladed and gunned up bike came to a sliding stop so that Maia could put her white and red helmet on. With a wave to the dock workers she left the box for them and sped off down to road towards Beacon.

"Whoa~"

Beacon was a lovely place, and it had nice wide streets with so little traffic, though she did hope that the teachers were still ok with her choices of weapon as other than the swords it was not like she could bring it into class right? However, being istracted while driving was never a good idea and as she was about to take a corner a group of boys came out of no where! {Regi & his 'freinds'} She pulled hard on the bars, putting it into a slide with one of the blades coming out to drag across the ground to make sure she stopped! Even if it was only mere inches from them... With her tail moving to the other side of the bike as fast as it could she took a look at the boys, flipping up the visor of her helmet and talking.

"Ah, you guys ok? Sorry about that, didn't see ya."

[experta]

One of the guys started yelling at the strange girl.

"What the hell do you think you are doing on school grounds? You are going to get someone hurt with that, are you crazy?"

"Yeah what if you had blindsided us? How's about an apoligize, huh?"

"Dude screw that, let's jsut get a guard or a teacher, they'll take good care of her."

"Forget it."

The guy holding Regi in a headlock pipped up to calm down his friends.

"I don't wanna be late on my first day because of a stupid faunus."

He walked off with the guys following him, but not before yelling back to her.

"You got lucky this time but you better watch it next time cuz we ain't gona be so nice."

The two guys walked off as well after glaring at her.

[Kitsune]

When the guys started yelling at her, the visor on her helmet flipped down to protect her from the spit flying at her, though she seemed unbothered by the fact they were mad at her. What? She said she was sorry and also she was rather use to humans yelling at her by this point so it wasn't like it was a new thing.

"Yeah, sorry again."

Her attention shifted to the guy in a headlock... She slowly started to follow the group, her bike having a very slow gear for some reason.

"Hey, is your freind ok with you doing that to him?"

[experta]

"Of course he is. We are just kidding around, aren't we Regi?"

He tighted him up for a sec to get his attention.

"Ah haaa.....y-yeah...kidding around..." ^^;

With most of the students now on campus ground they were gathering for the openning ceremony. Excitement was in the air and soon enough the speakers blarred to life with a crackle, all students receiving their official welcome and the start of the new year.

[Kitsune]

With the opening ceremony starting soon Maia had to move along, driving away to the parking spaces so that she could park up, take out one of her simple folding swords before taking off her biking leathers, her uniform was under them thankfully. Soon enough she was making her way into the already crowded hall, the head master sipping from his cup as he continued his speech.

"I will try to keep this as brief as possible... You have come here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills. After all is said and done you plan on dedicating your lives for the protection of the people... Noble... However, you lack the drive to do so. Knowledge can only take you so far but you must have the will in order to face what is out there, and over the coming years we will see if you truly have what it takes."

Maia looked a little confused by the rather strange speech by the head master, only to have her attention captured again by the head teacher taking over.

"You will all be spending the night in the ball room. Tomorrow your initiation starts... Be ready, and good luck."

[experta]

When night time rolled around, everyone started to get ready for bed in the ball room. The biggest slumber party ever! Regi finaly got away from those assholes and briefed a sigh of relief. He went outside in the garden to get some peace and quiet. So many people in one place was bad for his heart. Becon sure had impressive gardens, he only hoped the facilities are as good. After a short walk around campus he entered the garden and found a bench he could sit down on. No one seemed to be around so he pulled out his flute. The stars were about to come out so he was going to greet them with quick song.

[Kitsune]

Maia was relaxing on one of the futons that had been provided for her, her tail swaying back and forth lazily given that pajamas don't really cover up tails and all... People tended to keep away from her, though there were some others of her kind that grouped together around her which was nice at least but compared to how many humans there were it was very few. It was then that she heard something, it sounded like music but nothing like the type that was playing from some kids stereo. She got to her feet and moved towards the window, placing her hands on the railing and listened to the faint music. What was that? Either way it was nice.

[experta]

"Whose out there? It's after curfue."

"Oh oh." O.O

Regi quickly put his flute away and ducked in the bushes. After the teacher passed by he quietly made his way back to where he was suppsoed t obe but there was another teacher at the door. He paniced for a bit until he saw an open window but getting there was going to be hard, no good cover in the way. He waited for an openning and bolted for it. As soon as he was close enough he leaped so he could jump inside. He was not the athletic type but he could atleast do that much. The only thing he didn't take in to acount was that someone was right in his way! He was already mid air so it was late to slow down.

"Watch out!" >.<

[Kitsune]

The music stopped, a shame really given that it was better than the techno like rubbish the others were playing in the background, but she guessed it was time for bed anyway. She had a biog day tomorrow and-, Flying boy!

"Euh?!"

Maia couldn't react faster enough to get out of the way and could only try and catch him, though that failed as well as she soon fell over from the impact.

[experta]

Regi grunted as he found himself on the gorund after the impact. He quickly realised what he did and got up, emediatly starting to franticly apologize.

"I-I'm sorry. Are you alright? I'm really really sorry."

He offered his hand. The one time he decided to do some physical excersice and thats how it turned out. Two people got hurt. Excercise is evil.

[Kitsune]

"Ah, yeah, yeah I am fine..."

Se said taking the offered hand to stand up.

"What is the big deal anyway? Coming through the window like that?"

She had to know, after all it was not a common place to enter from, or do all humans do that and she just didn't know?

[experta]

"The teachers were out hunting. And one was at the door so I needed another way to get back in. I guess I got carried away and lost track of time. I'm Reginald. Again sorry for the whole, crashing in to you thing. I'll try not to make it a habbit."

[Kitsune]

"Oh right, Regi, that one in the headlock right?"

She mentioned as she straightened out her pajamas, also her tail having landed on it and all...

"So, you not with your freinds?"

[experta]

"That;s me, ha haha......"

Oh god, he was not going to become the one known as the guy in the headlock was he?

"No, I needed some fresh air. The night sky always has a way of calming my nerves. I've never seen so many people under one roof, it's a little much for me to take in all at once."

Just then a teacher walked by the window.

"There you are. So you were the one in the garden playing that flute." >:/

Regi was about to ask how did he know that when a few leafs fell from him.........he tried to laugh it off while the teacher tapped his fingers on the window frame.

"Your first day here and already cauzing trouble. I know your type. I'll be keeping my eye on you. You keep causing trouble and I'll make sure the principal hears about this." >:/

With that he walked off.

"......Yes.......thank you................."

Regi collapsed with a defeated look on his face. Worst first day ever!

[Kitsune]

"..... "

Maia watched the teacher walk away, poor Regi...

"Seems like you are getting the wrong kind of rep around here. Though hey, the music was good?"

She tried to cheer him up at least, though she didn't know if it would be effective or not, she may as well try right?

[experta]

"Thanks.....I'll be going now."

His face was drained of life. Hopefully some sleep would do him good. The next day everybody was assembled, weapons and all on the edge of the forest for their first official day of school activities. A teacher was explaining what their task was.

"Your task for today is to find the old ruins deep inside the forest. You will all be working together, this is not a race. Once you are all at the ruins we will provide you with furder details. There are some monsters in the area so keep on your toes. This entire forest is being monitored but once you are in there we will not interfear unless we are given one of two reasons. One, you activate the distress becon we have supplied you all with, and two if your vital signs drop. Don't worry, there is nothing you can't handle in the forest as long as you are vigilant and don't take unnesasery risks. Do not enter the caves under any circumstances. Those areas are for advanced students, the testing grounds they are for experianced hunters only. Any questions?"

[Kitsune]

Maia was standing to attention among the others the next day, listening to what the teacher was telling them, seemed simple enough though she did not know how serous to take it given that they plainly said that there was nothing they couldn't handle... Didn't sound like much of a test to her but hopefully she would end up wrong. She put her hand up to ask a question.

"Just wondering. Are we not going to be given any idea of what this test may be?"

[experta]

"You are to make it to the ruins where we will give you more information, that's all you need to know right now."

That was probably his way of saying we are not telling you shit.

"Hey! Me, over here!"

A guy excitedly raised his hand with a smile.

"If we beat up some monsters do we get extra points or something?"

"No." -.-

"Pffff... that's not fun....ow!"

He got jammed in the ribs by the guy next to him. They seemed almost identical, probably twins.

"Yun can you calm down a little. We haven't even started yet and you are already giving me a headache."

"Well you are being too lax, first day in Becon man get a little hyped to show off your stuff..."

While they were arguing the teacher just sighed and started deploying them........like they were rocks armed in a catapult. So thats why does things on the ground were there. Everybody was flung at the forest at diffrent intervals and directions which ment they were going to start split off. Atleast they were going to have the same destination.

[Kitsune]

Maia looked down the line as people were being flung out, though she had to look to her side at her bike that got a platform all of its own, kind of embarrassing really... Soon enough it was her turn, her tail wrapping around her leg as she lowered herself down before she was suddenly shot into the air, though a bird she was not and was a little less than graceful while in the air. Thankfully her bike soon followed suit and she grabbed onto its bars and took her seat mid flight.

"That is more like it."

Bringing the roar of the engine to life she was falling much sooner than everyone else, then again not everyone had 100 horses on their side. One of the blades on the side extended to dig into a tress, slowing her decent but also bringing her wheels in contact with he bark, allowing her to speed around the tree once before unlocking from it. This was a good enough run up to make it to the ground and start speeding towards the others.
