With everyone gathered in the large room, the door opened. From it, Rood von Rah came tiredly strutting out, looking around at the rest of them as he took his seat beside Coch, only a nod in his direction were the things he used to acknowledge the others.
Then Glynda came in, surveying the lot of them with a sigh and an adjustment of her spectacles. Then, out came Ozpin. He moved slowly and deliberately, looking at all of them with a grim expression.
"As you all know, a Falthon emerged from the ground today. I don't know what it means. I don't know why it happened. What I do know is that several students are dead. This is a horrible tragedy and their next of kin will be notified."
Ozpin paused to look at them all.
"I cannot let that detract from the amazing accomplishment you all have of defeating the Falthon in the first place. I want you all to rest for this week once you get your assigned teams. Prepare for the Vytal festival. Considering you came in late, I wouldn't worry about classes until after the festival is over. One of our professors will be working with you to ensure you develop as teams before the tournament is set."
He smiled at them, hoping to lighten the mood.
"I'm certain you're at least eager to know what teams you will be on."
A long pause.
"Bonny. Coch. Chen. Rowan. The four of you form team CRBC (Rainbow). Your team leader... is Coch.
Min. Bran. Yu. Rood. The four of you for team RMBY (Ruby). Your team leader is... Rood."
Ozpin sighed. He deeply wished this could be more exquisite. It was the least he could do.
"Go to your dorms. Rest. You will have time to get to know each other, and go over this awful day, later."
