Not necessarily. Most RPs I've been in usually kick up around Weekdays during the midday and evening/night. People have "social lives" on the weekends, so that usually takes up most of their time. I, however, only have classes on two days, mind you those classes are from like 1 to 10 at night, but it still gives me a sense of empowerment and freedom... until I have to study and do homework extensively for more than two hours at a time. Which is why I didn't take an art class this semester, 'cause I am a perfectionist and take notoriously long just to paint a small section of my project. @_@ I set myself up for failure last semester. QQI'm ranting... the point I'm trying to make is that I'm a loser who doesn't have the money or friends to do things when I'm not doing homework or taking classes. =( I wanted to go see Frozen really badly to day, until I found out that I have like two bucks laying around.

While reading this I imagined Doctor Evil air quotes around "Social Lives", followed by a tea party with stuffed animals.

I'm not too sure now, but it was going to be a giant foldable punt gun poking out of a lance. Because Punt Gun-Lance of fuckyourdayupbadness.

What about a punt-gun/battle caber?

The forcefulness of Kalimay's rationalization was actually a little alarming, and Jack couldn't hide the surprise and mild confusion on her face. [b]"Uh, no problem. Glad it's not me. We're cool then?" she asked, not really looking for a response. She didn't really get was going on inside the other girl's head, and she wasn't terribly eager to go poking around for answers.

Anyways, traps happened. As luck would have it though Beacon is a place full of super-talented, super-equipped, prepared for anything sort of people. Just by virtue of not being first in line, Jack didn't have to take any serious action. The gooey projectiles were pretty much all defeated by other students, and as thinned out as the few remaining ones were, they were easy enough to dodge.

Filing into the auditorium, Jack took up a seat near Orion and Reya.

I wake up to bestiality theorycrafting... seriously?
Well at least the sharkgirl is a cutiepie.

Watching Kalimay practically deflate as she approached her, Jack couldn't help but wonder to herself, 'Jeez, what I say? You'd almost think she doesn't like me.' The rapid change in Kay's outward bearing was unnerving to say the least, and even without talking her too much it was a noticeable change from a second before Jack had called out to the girl. Trying to return the polite smile and only really managing an awkwardly tighten her lips, Jack nodded and responded to Kay's congratulation "Yeah, thanks."

Right... That wasn't weird at all. She didn't think she'd done anything to deserve that sort of reaction, but maybe she'd forgotten something. She could be sort of blunt and sarcastic when she talked, and she skipped class enough that some students thought she was a delinquent, but nothing in particular stuck out in Jack's memory. 'Well, if she's got a problem with me, she can say it to my face. I'm not going to go out of my way without a good reason.'

Tirren at least didn't shrink back from her greeting, but the lack of recognition played across his face. He didn't remember her, and he seemed busy talking to the corporate princess. That was fine, Jack did skip a lot; it's not like everyone had to remember a couple dozen names after spending a few years in school together. That'd be expecting too much. When he reintroduced himself and joked about skipping curtsying, Jack remarked dryly that "That's disappointing." before she followed suit with introductions. Since there were plenty of people around that she didn't know, she didn't address anyone in particular. "I'm Jack Kent, I went to Signal."

Reya's reaction was the most encouraging of the three, she remembered her name and she was actually engaging in how she responded which made Jack grin widely. She even seemed genuine in her congratulations, which was a plus. Just generally sending out friendly vibes, which were almost enough to make Jack regret missing so many classes back at Signal. Bygones weren't something to dwell on though, she thought as the amphitheater doors loomed just a few meters ahead of the group.

I'm surprised she doesn't have a Digging Semblance.

Eh, Jack does a lot more beheading and a lot less digging in the myths. Also, a digging semblance is kinda esoteric.

Pshaw, you don't need a heavy hitter to keep enemies at bay. You just need a trap hole.

Jack is fond of a good trap hole:

Well, actually, judging by that list, there were likely two graduating classes. Well, three counting Orion, because his bio states he graduated a year ago.So there are three seventeen year olds, one sixteen year old, and two eighteen year olds. Sounds like there were likely two graduating classes. Either that or some people skipped ahead or stayed behind. XD

Not necessarily. Based on Yang, Weiss, and Blake's ages at the start of the series (all 17), the freshman year at Beacon would usually be either 16-17 or 17-18. The teams they formed were supposed to last for 4 years, so I'd guess their education at Beacon supposed to last the same duration; taking them either from 16-20 or 17-21, either of which sounds reasonable. My main point is that if all the posted students are freshmen, then the outliers are Orion (who took a year off), Arara (who advanced a year early), Addica and Tirren (neither of whom have any special placement mentioned in their Bios). Based on the information from the show and the spread of ages, I think it'd make most sense and be easiest if the freshman year is 17-18.
