[IC] RWBY Colors of the Wind

[DiZL ReloadeD]

Most of the time Celia remained quiet, listening to the others while she sat on her bed. However she was rather surprised when she heard about Viviannes scores. As Vivianne mentioned that she doesn't have a semblance, Celia wanted to say something but Vivianne immediately continued. It seemed like she didn't want to talk about it and Celia had to respect that. Next was Seths turn who gave out roles like in a band. He pointed at her last and said "Drummer". Celia was a bit confused at first, "Eh, Drummer? I~ think it doesn't really matter".

"Well I guess its my turn now eh?" she jumped off her bed and walked in the middle of the room. She quickly drew her revolvers and said "These are my weapons, I call them Crimson melody. They are a pair of dust revolvers which have a good penetration and manstopping power. Although its nothing compared to the armor piercing guns you two have, but I prefer light equipement for more mobility. Just like your weapons mine also has another form or rather 3. First is the transportation mode. Second is the revolver mode. Third Dagger moder and last but not least is Sword mode which can also be connected to create a double vouldge, but i rarely use that one." She holstered her revolvers as she was done. "Thats about it."

[VKAllen]

The doors thundered closed followed by an elegant and firm footsteps of a young man exiting the hall marked 'Conference Room'. It was yet another fallout and conflict of interests that quickly assassinated the entire negotiations between him and Weiss. A quick slip to his pocket was followed by quick typing of a message to 'Command';

"Negotiations have failed yet again. I will return and discuss about our next move.

- V"

Lights flashed between the checkered windows decorated by displays of intricate Dust filled antiques and machinery, coldly accompanying his slightly-paced stroll towards the elevator. He was no stranger there. "Failed again? I mean I won't blame you. Not many people care about stuff like that. Besides, if we were to keep up with competitors, we need to continue producing high-quality Dust..." The scientist went on upon his reasons, moving from objective reasons to personal until he reached the elevator room. "... and I'm sure those reasons are enough to keep an old man like myself to have to put up with this. I believe that your plan can cause great change, but I just can't see that happening."

"I do not have much time to consider the reasons that you've given. It is still an apparent threat that would cause huge repercussions in the future." The young man enters the elevator and pushes the 'H' button. "You will not see me again."

The elevator ride was a quiet and serene one. The jazzy elevator music soothed his slightly sunkissed skin with a cool aura of calmness.

Ding!

The elevator doors open, the rushing winds quickly filled the innate atmosphere of the elevator with raging gusts and the young man's hazel hair uncontrollably flair. "Commander Varian Willsworth, sir!" A man dressed in army fatigues and bulletproof vest saluted him and escorted his passage to the helicopter. "I hope your negotiations bore fruit, sir?" The young man leered his gaze dreadfully.

"No, it did not. Take us back to Command-- we will need a new plan." The soldier slid the door open, revealing another younger faunus woman inside whose cherry blossom appearance never failed to appease him. Her arms crossed, almost cradling her own weight in her arms as she sits on the leathery seat of the helo. "Back already from Beacon?" He said-- almost impressed. The other soldier entered and sat diagonal from Varian and signalled the pilot to fly. Varian put on his headset as the engine's whirr continued to roar.

"Well, I felt you might've needed me, so I was quick."

The red-haired Faunus spoke as her close... boss put on one of the headsets within their transport and took a seat himself. "You do need me, after all... Right?" She would be slightly worried if there would ever be a time where she had no use to the man she admires. Their interactions as a team in the academy in which their little group attended had made the group quite familiar with one-another; the pink Faunus and her leader especially.

As the helo began to ascend -- rather quickly, mind you, having already being spooled up -- our red-haired friend gently grazes her hand along the belt in which she has strapped herself into. For a phoenix-human halfbreed with wings of flame, the young woman was still rather troubled with flying. A unique trait among phoenix Faunus, though it's not like her fiery wings could lift her into the air anyways, what with them being fire and all. She was just thankful they could be hidden against her back, and generally didn't burn everything they touched. Generally...

She lifts her gaze, having found herself staring at the seat in which she sat, dragged back to the real world by the clicking of fingers. "Oh, sorry, I zoned out. Which reminds me, you still haven't informed me on just what it is we're doing. And before you say 'there's a time and place for everything', I got sick of that excuse ages ago. C'mon, it's almost like you don't trust me or something..." Though she looks as though she were going to sulk, she would be fine. Often the lady would have moments where she would revert to her childish side, such as this, though mostly she was obedient and attentive. That's just who she was;

... That's who Jaeger Minamotto is.

---

Seth continued to irritate her somehow. Vivianne couldn't quite place what it was, but this boy was just... so starkly different to herself. Someone who wouldn't even take their introductions seriously was bound to be problematic, though she was far too fatigued for now to deal with it. Also, it would be... unkind to have someone change themselves just to better suit her personal tastes...

'Well, he could change a little...'

She couldn't have these thoughts torment her, so she listens to Celia's introduction to distract herself from her own mind. To her, Celia seemed... quiet, despite her getup. Perhaps it was due to not talking as long as she had, but there was something about their new leader that seemed off somehow. Perhaps it was Vivianne's closed mindset, but she didn't seem leader material in her eyes. At least, not yet, anyways. Everything had a chance to grow and change, after all, including the guitarist whom had designated her lead singer for what she could only assume would be a band consisting of them four. Though, Vivianne wasn't even quite sure what a band was. All she knew was that it probably wasn't good.

"It appears introductions are out of the way." She spoke after Celia, looking among her comrades as she continues. "I believe the initiation trial and classes start tomorrow. They'll likely let us tour the camp grounds or grow accustomed to Vale for the time being. Or lounge around in our rooms. In which case, I could really go for some food right about now. If anyone wishes to accompany me to the cafeteria, you're more than welcome."

[VKAllen]

Most certainly.

There's always a time and place. For everything. This was certainly not that time to question his motives. It was a time to reflect upon the catastrophic result between Weiss and himself. The differing viewpoints and monetary gain the Schnee Company seeks to maintain. How could he possibly topple this Titan of an organisation?

The flight trip to Command had remained a constant silence with whispers of conflict he'd heard from Weiss earlier. He needed a break from vile emotions like spitefulness and disgust. "Doubt yourself less." His statement was followed by a paused silence. Jaeger was staring at her own seat. He leaned forward slightly and gave a few clicks in front of her until she snapped awake. He relaxed his posture a little to the form of the seat. "Out of everyone else who could ensure my safety, your presence made sure that I felt confident. I'll answer your question, but now is certainly not the time nor place."

She knew he would say it-- Varian still insisted. "Doubt yourself less, Jaeger. I've only got one of you."

He turned his gaze towards the only window to the outside world. Watching it from above and seeing visions of destruction. Chaos. Madness. All because of the loss of the so valuable Dust that protected man-kind from its visceral enemy. One company has the monopoly of it all...

"So, what have you found in Beacon? Any interesting finds from our former academy?" He attempted to break the thin ice they were standing on. "Sort of reminded me of the days you complained that the dorms were not separated between boys and girls."

Alice was surprised when yet another team member entered the room. She didn't say much besides get out of her bed and walk over to the Johnny and sat on his bed. "If you give me back my blanket, I know where the cafeteria is and could show you." Alice said just so Johnny could hear. Her hopes were that she would kill two birds with one stone. Which were get her blanket back and have an excuse to leave this room so she wouldn't embarrass herself more in front of her team mates.

[rechonq]

West was really impressed by Celia's Crimson Melody. They were so small compared to his weapon, but that seemed to just make him admire them more. "Wow, Crimson Melody seems really cool." You could probably even conceal them. I just realized something. I'm the only one with a weapon without a name." West thought to himself for a moment about what his lance's name should be. He came to the conclussion that he was going to need more time to think about it.

Vivianne's conclusion was most likely correct. The four had introduced themselves or at least given as much introduction as they were going to give. Food and exploration sounded really good to West right now. "Yeah, I'll go with you to the cafeteria. I'm pretty hungry right now. I want to explore the grounds afterwards as well, if anyone will join me for that, it'd be great."

[Little Bird]

“Yes. I would be Zena.” Zena spoke to Johnny, but her eyes remained on the alert, peering the room over for several seconds before meeting with his. But hers only met his for a short while before turning their attention to the huddled form under a mass of blankets. She pointed and was about to ask of the obvious person beneath the covers when Johnny himself moved that way and revealed a frightened girl hidden under their sanctuary.

“I see,” she said, flatly. She stepped further into the room, making space for the last team member to arrive. It wasn’t a moment too soon either; mere seconds after she began striding towards an empty bed, a fourth person made his way into the doorway. “Pleasure,” she said in a dry tone to Kenneth; she threw her gaze around the room, extending her ‘formal’ introduction to the other two. “Zena Lavinia,” she added, pointing towards herself. Half-engaged with the others, she began situating herself and her belongings.

[Delta44]

@VKAllen

"I still find it disturbing that they haven't changed that in the least... Seriously, there's bound to be at least one perverted teenage boy among Beacon's ranks!" Jaeger exclaims, though sighs once she realizes her complaints bore no fruit. "But that aside... Beacon Academy has remained the same in terms of structure as it did when we attended. The teaching staff consists of about four or five female huntresses, one of which being Yang Xiao Long, and the students all look, well... as you can expect from first year students of Beacon." She smiles as she remembers their first real interaction fondly as first year students at Beacon. It wasn't especially cool or special in terms of what the memory contained, however it still brought about a feeling of joy for Jaeger.

"Speaking of which..." She pauses and trails off, reaching behind her and revealing her data-pad, before showing the profile of a certain someone he knew - a certain student Varian had taught. "It looks like your pupil got into the academy, too! Isn't that great?!" She seems happy for him, though her happiness was rather innocent for a villain. "I wasn't around long enough to get her team name, since that was to be decided on initiation day and I only had pre-initiation day information to obtain. Still, you taught her really well! She's got ninety percent in all categories but one! The Hell did you teach her?"

Jaeger grins and raises a hand before he can speak. "Don't worry; there's a time and a place, right? I can wait a little longer. Oh, and I'll try to-, no, I will doubt myself less, if that's what you want."

"Although I have already memorized the camp grounds, I'd be willing to tour you. It'd be best if we all understood our surroundings. After all, that's the most important factor in battle. At least, that's what the hunter taught me..." Vivianne stares out the window of their dormitory room, apparently spacing out as she murmurs to herself: "I wonder if he's here..." She stays like this for a moment before shaking her head, as though snapping herself out of a daydream. Rising out of her bed, she immediately walks over to the door and opens it, holding it open for anyone who was coming. "Well then, shall we get going?" She assumed they all would, unless one of them had items of importance to bring into the dorm room, or they simply weren't hungry.

'It's almost time for another dose... Perhaps I can slip one during lunch...'

As those who decided on coming to the cafeteria exit, Vivianne begins making way towards the elevators, which would in turn take them down to the cafeteria where they could acquire sustenance. As they walk, Vivianne makes an attempt at small-talk, despite her lack of ability for social situations. "So," she begins, thinking up a topic of interest, "what do you think of our teachers? I haven't heard of any aside from Yang Xiao Long. I look forward to training with her."

[DiZL ReloadeD]

@Delta44 @rechonq
Celia smirked on Wests comment "Really? Well thank you. It wasn't easy designing them but in the end I'd say it was worth it. And yes you can actually conceal them, but I never really had to. Considering your weapon, I'm sure you find a good name for it."
Celia agreed with Vivianne, the introductions are done and she was quite hungry herself. "Well you can count me in. I haven't eaten anything in hours." As Vivianne opened and held the door open she walked outside thanking her as she passed her. Next stop were the elevators. Vivianne was the first to break the silence "So, what do you think of our teachers? I haven't heard of any aside from Yang Xiao Long. I look forward to training with her." After a few moments of thinking Celia replied "Hmm, well I haven't heard about anyone except Yang either. The thought of training with her sure is exciting, but I don't know what I should think about her easy-going style... Well, at any rate I won't jump to any conclusions about our techers before we get to know them. 'Don’t judge a book by its cover.'" Celia looked at West who also accompanied them to the cafeteria "What about you West? What's your opinion?".

[Flotabotacon]

@PatrickDrummer
His eyes sparkled as Alice told her where the cafetaria was.

"Ok as you wish my dear. This point is yours. You won!"

Johnny took Alices blanket and threw it on her bed. He turned around, took Alices hand and dragged her out of the room.

"Hey Zena, Kenneth I'll see you later. I have something very important to do and I need Ms Naomis help for this *cough* matter *cough*"

He closed the door and spoke to Alice.

"So where can I find this cafetaria? Go ahead i will follow you"

@DiZL ReloadeD@Delta44@rechonq
After all the introductions where over, Vivianne mentioned the the group grab a bite to eat. Seth looked back at Nirvana and nodded before he said, “Yeah, me and Nirvana could go for something to eat.” Seth followed the group through the elevators and towards the cafeteria. While the group walked towards the cafeteria. Vivianne sparked up a conversation about the teachers. Vivianne was looking forward to training with Yang, while Celia seemed excited to train with Yang. All Seth remembered from Yang was her terrible puns which made him sigh and rub his eyes in annoyance.

“As long as she doesn’t use those Terrible puns, she ok in my book,” Seth mumbled to himself.

[rechonq]

@Rex@DiZL ReloadeD@Delta44
"Yeah that'd be great. You can show me all of the important aspects of the grounds for now. I'm sure we'll have time to explore more in depth later on." West was in great need of direction around the grounds. He definitely needed to find things like the library and training grounds most. He wasn't even sure where the cafeteria was for that matter. He planned on just trying to use his PDA, but this would be much more efficient.

Vivianne had asked what everyone's opinions of the teachers were, and after Celia explained hers she asked West as well. He had sort of zoned out thinking about different things in the school and trying to picture what the coming days would be like. "Ahh, ugh well. I'm not sure what they will be like. I don't form opinions most of the time until things happen. I do know I have a tendency to like everyone, even if others don't. Somehow I manage to see the best, I guess. Unless their dramatic, I don't really do drama. I can tend to be trusting too, but I have a short temper in betrayal, or what I view as betrayal. That's another story though, but other than Yang I haven't heard much about the others. The stories in the news about what she did was pretty cool, and I do wonder what she'll be like as a teacher. I feel like her classes certainly won't be boring. She has too much energy, she would bore herself."

[Delta44]

@rechonq@Rex@DiZL ReloadeD

Vivianne couldn't help but grin and agree with West. Arriving at the elevators, she steps inside and wait as the three of them all shuffle inside, before pressing a button to go back to the ground level. "I'll be sure to show you everything you'll need to know, at least for now. In future, you can memorise the entire campus if you wish... though some people don't usually go to such lengths when they have a PDA on hand." The Shrine Maiden stares out the clear windows of the elevator once more as it quickly descends to the ground floor. After all the hard work, after all the training, she'd finally ma-

Gruuuuumble...

Oh no. Vivianne's face flushes red as her stomach grumbled loudly, signifying it's want for food. It was embarrassing, and she really hoped her new teammates hadn't heard it, though she doubted that. Vivianne sighs. "Just announce it to the whole world, why don't you..." She mutters quietly to herself, only to find her stomach growl back in response. 'Don't worry, just be normal...' She thought to herself, taking a deep breath, before turning right around as though nothing had happened.

"I don't mean to pry, Seth, but... why did you assign us all band positions? I hope you know I won't be singing in front of an audience anytime soon." She says, in an attempt to continue the conversation.

Ding!

... And so they'd arrived at the ground floor...

[Rex]

@Delta44@rechonq@DiZL ReloadeD
“If you ask me, I can’t really read the teachers and what they’re like,” Seth said before he sighed and added, “Except for Yang. She seems like that teacher that want’s to relive her prime and act like all the young students. It’s annoying and dumb. Especially her puns.” Seth recalled Yang’s pun and sighed again and rubbed his eyes.

When Vivianne asked him why he put them all in band positions he shrugged and said, “Come on princess. Deep down I know you have a dark side that wants to sing in front of everyone.” Seth laughed at his own answer before he looked back at Nirvana and added, “Yeah I know it was corny, but hell she looks the type doesn’t she?”

“If you must know: life’s a stage and we need to be ready to perform. If we all know our places, we can perform to the fullest. Nirvana and I are always ready to perform, but honestly,” Seth said before a smiled and added, “It’s just fun to think about the team as a band. I mean if you think about it: a band is more like a family then a team. Right?”

“I’m sure cowgirl and Blue hair agree with me,” Seth said motioning to West and Celia

[VKAllen]

A part of him felt relieved that Beacon was still the same as it was. Its memories came fluently as rivers of fond memories and innocence. Looking back now, he must've been a complete stoic and the most mature student among the first years of the time who would uphold balance and justice like some sort of aspiring champion. "Heh, I guess it should've been a real concern after all. Although real men would never compromise dignity and integrity for a primitive concept as perversion." His eyes dim closed for a quick blink. Maybe that's what got her so... Affectionate after all this time.

"Yang Xiao Long has decided to become a teacher in Beacon? I thought Eva Taurus (our former faunus teacher) was a bad decision." A small smirk painted his lips. "I hope that codger (Ozpin) isn't missing a cog in his head." The other soldier had remained silent throughout the entire trip. He had hoped that this would've been an engaging enough topic to perhaps pull the man in, yet their talks remained strange to him. Varian could only small-- albeit a little.

"Speaking of which..." Jaeger's voice halted and showed Varian her finds at Beacon Academy. It was a strange request on Varian's part. He felt as though he needed to know the students who were arriving into Beacon this year. "It looks like your pupil got into the academy, too!" ... Vivianne? "Isn't that great?" His complexion soured his expression as he delved into a deep thought. That can't be the reason why. While he was delighted to know that she pursuited her only remaining goal she had other than as a... 'Shrine Maiden'. "... you taught her really well! She's got ninety-percent in all categories but one. The Hell did you teach her?"

"She needed--"

Jaeger shot her hand in front of him in interruption. "Vivianne possesses a Blade that she needed to control, the rest was simply lessons of the blade and the soul-- how they need to be one with one another in order to fluently master Durandal. She succeeded. The rest was how to fight with a blade." He gathered his breath. "If you gathered enough, she reflected a lot of my attributes. My scores surpassed every single student in every category."

@Rex@Delta44@DiZL ReloadeD
"Yeah, I typically try to have my plots planned out before I leave for somewhere. I don't like trying to rely on these things step by step only for it to die or run out of range or me breaking it is very possible as well." West also looked out the windows as well, but his goal was more to get a feel of the grounds than to reminisce. The birds eye view was nice as the elevator began. The horizon rapidly drew closer as the elevator fell lower. About halfway through West heard a rumble in the elevator. He turned to Vivianne to notice her mumbling under her breath. He couldn't hear her, but assumed it was her as she looked slightly embarrassed as well. He kept a smirk hidden as he turned to look straight back out of the elevator.

The group began walking across the grounds as Seth explained that bands were more like family than teams were. He motioned to him while calling him blue hair. He did have blue hair and if nicknames were this guys thing, then West was fine with that. "Well, I'm not really sure if bands are more like family. Teams can get really close to each other too. Several members of teams in Beacon have even gotten married. I've heard of several band break ups too. I don't think relying on our group title to bring us together is a good idea. We can be whatever we want, but we're still going to have to tolerate and maybe even like each other for us to become a tight knit anything. I'm ready to perform whatever, whenever though. We're going to be an awesome...what ch ya ma callitwegonnabe?"

Alice was shocked when Johnny grabbed her hand, and then shocked more when he dragged out of the room. She waited for Johnny to finish telling the others they had something to do before speaking. "Well first I'm just gonna put it out there, but did you try checking your PDA? Secondly I'll g-gladly take you there j-just please let go of my h-hand." she started to sound really nervous at the end because it sunk in the two were still holding hands.

[Flotabotacon]

@PatrickDrummer
"As you wish my lady", said Johnny with a big smile in his face and let her hand go.

"I think you are right. The cafetaria should be marked on the PDA but where's the fun if you can't talk with someone while you eating?"

"You said you know where the cafetaria is. So, let's go! I think it's time to get to know each other", yelled Johnny as his stomach growled.

He put his right hand on her left shoulder and said: "Go! I'll follow."

[Delta44]

@VKAllen

"Ehehe! Her only downfall is her speed, but even that's at an impressive eighty-two!" Jaeger remarks as she read over her file a little more. "Strange, though... In her tests, I don't see her ever using her semblance... I wonder what it is?"

However, before that thought can be really elaborated on, the helicopter draws close to it's destination. "Ooh, I can see HQ from 'ere!" Jaeger exclaims, staring out the window at the construct which had been VSOG's headquarters for awhile now. "Come on, pilot-guy! Can't you go any faster? I wanna see everybody!"

Despite her complaining, the pilot knew to keep quiet as they began descending to one of the heli-pads located there...

"A family sounds like a good name, though... I don't think I'm ready to associate with you all so closely just yet. I hope you understand my reservations." Vivianne says, guiding them all through the halls until they can safely assume they're headed in the same direction as the many other students who were headed in the same direction as them. Then, in a matter of moments later, they arrive:

The cafeteria.

The cafeteria was a rather large construct indeed, created to house a large number of students and their teams. With rows of tables made of wood lined into aisles, and the food itself stationed at the very head, opposite to the entrance, there was no doubt this place was it. It carried a certain classical air about it, what with the aforementioned wooden tables and chandeliers hung from the ceiling. For Vivianne, it was like a whole new world had opened up.

"... Now probably isn't the best time to admit it, but I've never actually been into a cafeteria..." The shrine maiden seems slightly awkward for saying this, and thus shifts her weight from one foot to the other in a similarly awkward fashion. "At the shrine, there was no need to eat from a buffet. Likewise, when one is homeless, they don't often find themselves coming to such places, either. I never attended a school before now, and so I'm a little concerned as to how best approach the situation. Does one simply walk up and acquire food, or do they request it through another?"

With a pause, she comes to a conclusion. "I'll simply mimic what you all do, if that's OK."

[PatrickDrummer]

@Flotabotacon
Alice sighed with relief when Johnny let go of her hand, but he then had to put one on her shoulder. "H-He's still in m-my personal s-space." she thought to herself almost losing all thought. This is the first time such a thing has happened and she doesn't quite know how to react. With that and using a lot of her courage Alice led the way to the dinning hall "Well here we are... You can eat now..." she said while standing by the entrance.
