I'm sleepy

@OneWayOut

If push comes to shove and we get to the point of teams and no one else joins in, will people be allowed a second character? Just curious.

@Akayaofthemoon

Probably.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

@All First Year Students!
Headmaster Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch - Beacon Academy - Mid Day

"I believe most of the students have arrived. When do you plan to give your speech?"

A silence followed the words of Glynda and she turned to look at her old friend.

"Professor Ozpin?"

Dressed in his usual green suit, Ozpin raised his always filled mug of coffee to his lips before responding to his friend. "It appears as though we are still missing a few. I wonder if this amphitheatre is that hard to find." he mumbled curiously before taking another sip. "Let us wait for the remaining few.

The two teachers stood in the shadows of the curtains on the stage in the large room, watching as first year students started to pour in, their faces an array of emotions ranging from nervousness to pure excitement. It almost brought a smile to Ozpin's face, though he knew it was too soon for blind optimism. Once those with potential passed his initiation, then he could smile with pride at them. Until then, he remained as stoic as ever. As his gaze traveled over the hundred or so students, he wondered just how many would make it past their second day, or the third. He wondered how many would realize that this wasn't truly their calling and drop out. He wondered... many things. Far too many to dwell on.

Without saying a word, he stepped over to the lone microphone that stood in the center of the stage. He waited a few moments, gathering the attention of the room with his presence alone before he cleared his throat.

"I'll... keep this brief." he started, waiting another moment as the last few students would gather at the back of the room. His eyes glanced over at Glynda who gave him a slight nod, and then he began to speak.

"The illusion of knowledge... it is what brought all of you here today. You are here in search of knowledge. To hone your craft and one day... protect the people. However, I look among you and all I see is wasted energy and a need for purpose. You knowledge will free you of this. Knowledge is only an illusion of strength, where as ignorance is a temporary affliction, remedied only by asking the right questions that will lead you to a greater answer.

"Your time at this academy will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you, to take the first step. But even then... in order to continue on, you will always need a helping hand."

With one more look across the students, he turned and walked off the stage, his place taken by Glynda who began to speak shortly after.

"You are free the remainder of the day to familiarize yourself with the layout of the school. Tonight, you will gather in the ballroom and rest and your initiation begins tomorrow. Be ready. You are all dismissed."

After a nod towards the students, she too left the stage and easily caught up with Ozpin who was waiting for her.

"I'll speak with the other instructors and see that everything is ready for the initiation tomorrow. I believe there are still some preparations to be done."

"Very well. I'll be in my office, should you need anything." Ozpin said as he started to walk away.

Glynda turned away but paused and called out to her friend. "Oh. What did you use for relics this year?" she asked him.

Ozpin continued to walk away, though he responded to her question. "The one thing man cannot live without."

RWBY: The Last Dawn

Working on a post for the 1st year students.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

@datadogie

Hrm, how about Morgan Rouge? Taking the French word for Red to replace his last name and keeping the aquatic bit for his first name. I can go ahead and change his color palette to Red as well to keep with the naming convention.

@ryukan

I approve of this.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

So which second years are working on posts?

@agentmanatee

*raises her hand*

RWBY: The Last Dawn

@onewayout just saying but i liked the old siggy better with mysterious ruby. this one hurts my eyes with those spent ammo casings flying about.

@Bigg Slamm

that one is there too. it switches between the two images.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

So just to clarify, we start the next day on a Sunday, which would be midnight to say early morning, next would be Monday which I would say would be early morning to early noon, next Tuesday which would be early noon to mid-noon, Wednesday which would be mid-noon to late after noon, Thursday which would be late noon to early evening, Friday which would be early evening to mid evening, Saturday mid evening to midnight, then back to Sunday. Am I correct with the times?

@Snarfulblast

Took me a few times of reading that to understand what you were talking about. But yes, that's correct. Its an unofficial time scale. Not a must to use but more as a guide for people to know what time it is (roughly) in the IC.

RWBY: The Last Dawn

So because it's Wednesday, does that mean in IC it's afternoon?

@Snarfulblast

No later than that. Those still in the morning time can continue as is.
