Ţhe Ĝym is open to students of Beacon academy during the day on weekdays and all day on the weekends. It is a place where they can practice combat and strategies on their own or in their teams. Every week students are brought here by the teachers to be taught more complex strategies for taking out Grimm that they may not have known or thought of. Students are generally expected to keep on top of their own fitness, but it is advised that they try to visit the gym at least every other day. The room is also used as an auditorium should an announcement need to be given to the students.
Lunia Alexandria Yatomura "I'll make you all proud of me one day.."
- - - -
Lunia came through the doors, walking beside Jazz with her hands behind her back. She continue from where they left off on their chat as they entered the Gym. "Rose was always fiercely smart and on the ball, it doesn't surprise me that she'll have a big part to play in the future" she said with a grin on her face, happy to hear her friend was doing so well. Gesturing to the room, she chuckled softly in disbelief, shaking her head. "I still can't believe I made it here, but I'll hopefully make her proud.." she said, smiling.
Nodding to Jazz, "My Father has been trying to spread the word about the increase if Grimm activity, we just want to work together with other families to make sure we are stronger than them... But I suppose family politics is always a bit tricky right?" she added. Lunia fixed her ponytail, tightening her bow.
"Mia.." she said thoughtfully, she was never really sure what to say about her older sister. Mia was in the military now, she was always at the top of class, one of the best fighters and the golden child out of her siblings. "Mia is doing great, she's a huntress now and is quickly going up the ranks in the military. She's got quite the name for herself, not sure if I'll ever quite live up to that" she said, laughing a little. "Shin is good, he's still at home training hard, I think he's got a lot of pressure being the only boy left.. I try to help him whenever I can" she added. "And Keaton..." she said, taking a short pause she smiled confidently, "He's the reason I'm here, I want to live our dream of being hunters together!".
"I'm so sorry Jazz, I keep getting carried away with myself. Do you have any other friends at Beacon you know?" she said, very interested in this young man. She wondered if he ever knew Keaton, and wondered who he would be paired with throughout Beacon.

Jazz followed Lunia into the gym and listened closly as she spoke about Rose. As she guestured to the gym he agreed with her statment. Its still taking a while to settle in for me as well. I'm sure you'll make her very proud. The room was huge, Jazz could hardly believe the sheer amount of space the place took up. Despite numerous students scattered about, the place still felt as if it were empty. I can imagine this beinng a great place to practise team composition and strategies. Turning back to Lunia he made note of her father being the one to try and spread the news. Yes, from what I can make out many families are being... difficult. Some, I hear, even refuse to acknowledge the increased activity. I hope for everyone's sake your father gets the support he needs and deserves.
Jazz was happy to hear that Mia was doing well, she held a talent that he had always admired, along with a deep sense of what she considered the right thing to do. It's too early for you to doubt yourself Miss Lunia. Your sister is definitely gifted for her age, however, this does not mean that you won't shine just as brightly as her. Maybe with time you may even come to outshine her. Jazz was a firm believer that with enough time anyone can perform. It was the only way he was ever able to learn the piano, his siblings were all more intellectual than himself and as such found it far easier than he did. He wasn't surprised that talk of Shin would lead to Keaton, although the ease at which she spoke of him brought him relief. He would be very proud of you. He always spoke of you in high regard.
Again she worried about saying too much, not that it would ever bother him. As I've said before Miss Lunia, feel free to speak to me at any time. She went on to ask if he had any other friends at Beacon. Jazz had seen a fair number of students by now, observing who they spoke to and how they moved, but as far as friends were concerned Jazz had never truley made any. The only people he was close to were the Aidous, any other forms of communications and he had had to revert to playing the role of butler. Now that I think of it, I'm not all that sure I would know where to begin with making friends. Looking back down at Lunia he smiled. With my work, I haven't had the opportunities to make many friends outside of the mansion. So I'm afraid I have no friends at Beacon. With that said, I hope we can become good friends Miss Lunia.

Jessica Morrison
Jess walked into the gym, mask on and rifle in hand. She looked around and could see two others. Taking a peek at her watch she let out a sigh, giving her head a little shake. "Why is she always late..." They had both decided to do this and at the moment it seemed like she was the only one committed to it. Looking to others she stepped over to them. "Hey you two, you haven’t happen to...." Before she could finish the doors flew open as a black dressed figure stepped. "Nevermind... my sister is here."
Onyxia Morrison
Onyxia had kicked open the doors to the gym, shotguns on her hips as she stepped in. She had a smirk on under her mask as she moved to the one person she knew. "Well well well... Jess are you trying to make some friends?" Chuckling under her mask. "If she hadn’t introduced herself she's Jessica, I’m Onyxia. We're the Morrison twins." Tilting her head a little as she finished her quick intro. Cracking her knuckles a little as she looked around the gym. "I thought there would be more people here..."
Lunia Alexandria Yatomura "I'll make you all proud of me one day.."
- - - -
Lunia smiled at Jazz, "You're a good motivator you know Jazz, you will be a very important and crucial friend to certain people one day.. " she said, taking in his words about her sister. She opened her locket that she wore around her neck, and looked at the picture of her lost brother for a moment, she loved the fact that Jazz had met Keaton, Lunia wanted to keep his memory alive as long as she could, she didn't want him to ever be forgotten. "He would be laughing right now at the thought of me being here!" she said, chuckling.
"Oh and before I forget! Please just call me Lunia, you know, since you aren't a butler anymore here" she said, trying to motivate him almost, he was just exactly the same as her, just like Lunia was the same as all the others in the room, even if she did notice a lot of them talking and gossiping.
Lunia was about to ask Jazz yet another question, when a masked girl came through the doors and approached them. She saw the rifle and became more defensive, although that quickly faded as hear sibling approached. Once the second girl introduced them both, she smiled towards them, "Nice to meet you both, I'm Lunia!" she said, looking at their weapons. "I think everyone is going to gather here soon for something" as she looked at Jazz, giving him the opportunity to introduce himself.

|♢| Beacon Academy |♢| Student |♢| Lv.0//001 |♢| |♢| Standard: The Phoenix |♢| Battle: Fire It Up |♢| ♨"This is bad. Real bad..." the redhead muttered to herself. She sat against the far wall of the gym, hugging her knees as she watched the students flood in. Some came in alone, others as a pair or more. But the one thing she noticed, that the girl was fixated on, was that they all had weapons. Scarlet, however, broke her treasured sword in two just a week before it was time to attend Beacon. She was just thinking, she needed a "super move" or something to give her an edge over everyone else. And her reckless training resulted in this predicament. Though she found someone to repair it, it was not ready in time for the big day. "God... What am I gonna do? I didn't think it would break! And now...!" the girl started to panic, burying her face into her knees. What if she had to do some sort of combat test? Would she be able to pass without her sword? As these thoughts came, Scarlet would fish her lighter out of her pocket subconsciously. Raising her head, she'd hold the zippo in front of her, flipping it back and forth to look at the flame. Something about a fire always put her at ease; it helped her relax even during these stressful times.

Jazz appreciated the compliment from Lunia, it was good to hear his words hadn't fallen on deaf ears. Lunia took out a locket, which Jazz guessed housed a picture of her family, or at least of Keaton. He didn't know much about Keaton, other than what Mr. Aidou had told him, but he had heard the things Keaton spoke of during familiy visits. He was an upstanding citizen always thinking about others and from the looks of it, this aspect was most prevelant when considering his siblings. Perhaps, Miss Lunia. He responded with a smile. As he said this Lunia turned back to him and insisted that he drop the formalities. I suppose she is right, I'm no longer a butler. Habits are a hard thing to break though. My apologies Mi-. Lunia. It's a strange feeling to suddenly change the way you address people. I will do my best to fit in to this new environment.
Soon after another student came over, she wore an odd mask and had her weapon was out in an active state. Jazz instinctively stepped between her and Lunia, cautious of the reason to have her weapon ready. The girl hadn't even had enough time to ask a question before turning to the noise of the doors slamming open. This startled Jazz a little, only reaffirming his decision to be cautious of the girl. As another girl walked over, mask on and weapons on full display, Jazz began to wonder. Are these two planning on making a scene? Surely they know it could lead to an early expulsion. The other girl commented on the way the scene appeared to her. You have a strange concept of making friends. She then introduced the pair. Twins. Always fun...
Jazz stepped back as Lunia spoke, although Onyxias comment and attitude kept him on gaurd. Something about you feels... Off. After Lunia gave her introduction she allowed Jazz a moment to speak. Jazz Myers. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I doubt you're going to need use of your weapons at this time. I believe there'll be a welcoming speech given by the headmaster soon, followed by some free time to better learn the layout of the academy. Jazz wasn't sure if it was the fact that the girls had approached with their weapons ready to use, had their weapons ready to use or wore masks that set him off. Regardless, his posture changed slightly, so that both his hands lay by his side rather than in his pockets. He was prepared to grab his dormant weapon, a simple rectangular box that sat on his lower back, should it be needed. He hoped he was merely overthinking the girls intentions.

Azura Knight
Azura turned at the sound of the door being kicked open to see a girl wearing a mask standing in the door way, briefly looking around before striding in. Well that hardly seemed necessary she thought to herself. Over the top for a simple gathering of students on the first day of classes. However it didn't seem like she was going to cause problems. For all the bluster, she approached a group of students in a rather friendly manner, though the male seemed rather defensive and protective of the blue haired girl. Perhaps they were an item? Before Azura could make any more observations another voice caught her attention.
"God... What am I gonna do? I didn't think it would break! And now...!"
Azura looked to find a redhead sitting on the floor with the back to the wall, looking upset and playing with a lighter. She took a few steps closer and crouched next to her. “Excuse me.....are you okay?” She asked with concern.
Jess chuckled and waved her hand. "At ease soldier. We're former Atlas military, old habits die hard." Reaching into her jacket to pull out her ID. "But it’s a pleasure to meet you both. I apologize for Onyxia, She’s a 'always ready to rock' type of person." Tucking her ID away as she held her weapon across her chest. "I’m just always at the ready Jazz."

Onyxia Morrison
Onyxia chuckled at Jazz's defensive position. "She's right but don’t worry. New change of pace for us." She looked at Lunia and nodded. "It’s nice to meet you Lunia. I’m excited for new adventures, the thing with Atlas was... it became repeated. Some missions over and over and over again." She looked and saw one other student, waving at them to come down and join. "It'll be nice to have more of a variety faces to deal with."

|♢| Beacon Academy |♢| Student |♢| Lv.0//002 |♢| |♢| Standard: The Phoenix |♢| Battle: Fire It Up |♢| ♨ Eyes fixated on the lighter in her hand, Scarlet watched the flame disappear and reappear with a flick of her wrist. Each time it would dance in place, as if enticing the girl. It was almost like she was hypnotized; that she blocked out the world around her and focused on that small source of warmth accompanied by the metal clicking of the lighter. She started smiling to herself, completely unaware of the girl that was approaching her. "Hehehe- Eh? Huh?!" she snapped out of her trance, hearing a voice beside her. Only now did she even see the girl crouching beside her, whom she stared at for a moment or two. "UWAH?! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!" a startled Scarlet gasped out loud. Not intentionally, though she could see that her outburst caught the attention of a handful of students. How long had she been there? Did she see her spacing out? Stuffing her lighter back in her pocket, she quickly put on her best smile to greet her. "Y-Yo! What's up? You surprised me, eheheh..." She would try to make light of the situation to hide her embarrassment. It at the very least got those wandering eyes to go about their day. Well this was a great start into getting to know her peers... It couldn't get any worse so she might as well introduce herself. "Uhh, so... I'm Scarlet, by the way! Nice to meet you!" The redhead reached out her hand to shake, awaiting the action to be reciprocated.

The doors opened on his accord as he stepped into the every growing populace of the gym. His eyes blinked slowly as he heard random chatter about old friends and homelands. It was a big school, a place where alot of people came to not only live their dream, but die for it as well. It was poetic in the young boy's mind as he walked slowly forth, trying not to bump into people, though failing miserably as he felt shoulders and elbows as he made his way through the people, keeping close tabs on his case and bag with his hands every so often. The boy's eyes would look for a less open area as he turned to see a mere two people talking. The area seemed a bit clearer over there and the only thing to worry about was the outburst the red head had given earlier. His feet pushed him forward as he began to squeeze and duck through the crowd before walking causually out, as if the crowd had not roughed him up a bit.
He let a few pants fall through feeling a bit tight in the crowd before walking towards the two by the wall. The young man's mouth kept a small, yet noticeably smile on his face as he walked to the girls and bowed his head a bit behind the black haired one before announcing his presence."Greetings." He'd say with a hand on his side and his other on his lip. "Apologies if I was intruding, but it seems this is a nicer spot to get away from the rush of students."He'd tell them before slowly removing the sack from his back. "Would it be alright fr me to join you?"
"Can't believe I'm late to the orientation. The first day at the academy and I'm already in trouble DAMN." Oswald walked quickly with a dozen or so freshman that are also late to the gym. Listening to the people's nervousness, the only thing that can concern him is that he and a few others that are late won't receive some kind of punishment for tardiness. Let's face it, getting in trouble on the first day is bad, getting punished is troublesome as all hell. Everyone is just rushing to the gymnasium, some are pushing, shoving, and even falling. At one point a few decided to use their gears to maneuver out of the crowd. Well, that's one way to go around. But... He can use his Jet Mode but the backlash would injure some of the students, at least the ones who don't take damage well. DAMN IT! What a horrible first day this is starting out to be. he said in frustration hoping that the rest of the day turns out to be interesting.

Lunia Alexandria Yatomura "I'll make you all proud of me one day.."
- - - -
Lunia smirked to herself, she had been brought up by a very highly regarded family and still spoke nowhere near as well and clear as Jazz, which she found very intriguing. As he stepped inbetween her and the new arrivals to protect her she got butterflies for many different reasons, they had just met and yet he was willing to put himself in the front line, a trait that she would remember and value for the rest of their new friendship. It also reminded her back to the attack, how her brother selflessly protected her and didn't even think twice, they were both similar in many ways.
Once it was clear that the girls meant no harm, she stood at ease. When she heard that Jessica and Onyxia were from Atlas she was curious about a lot of things, but thought she should keep her questions to herself. Smiling at them, to try and make the situation less tense, she thought of the questions her mother told her were good 'ice breakers' as she called them.
"How long were you both in the military for? " she asked, as she noticed a dramatic increase in the amount of students here now, it must be almost time for the opening ceremony, Lunia was both anxious and excited.

Azura Knight
Azura was equally startled. “Ah!” The red heads sudden outburst cause Azura to topple over backwards onto her bum. “I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to surprise you!” She apologized with sincerity, clearly upset at having caused such a commotion. She ran a hand through her hair as the awkward moment stretched out, neither girl seeming quite sure where to go from here. She gave a bit of relieved breath when the tension was broken by introductions. “Azura....Azura Knight. It's a pleasure to meet you Scarlet! I'm really sorry about starling you.” She apologized again. Scarlet offered her hand, and so Azura picked herself up back into the crouching position she had been in before toppling over in order reach said hand and shake it. Before she could add anything or ask about what had Scarlet in such a panic, another voice spoke up from behind her.
Azura turned her head to see a male standing behind her. “I don't mind.” After all, how could she turn down someone who had asked so politely? Though she was a little less sure how Scarlet would feel about it given how much she seemed to be panicking about the first day of classes. She stood in one smooth motion and offered her hand. “Azura Knight.” She introduced again in case he had missed it when she had been talking to Scarlet.
xxx"Door door door doo-!" Maron was running too fast for her own good, which forced her natural momentum to hinder her from stopping in time. The girl's entire body slammed against the gym door; her weight pushed both doors open as her entire body plopped onto the floor. "Oof!" After falling face first onto the hard gym floor, Maron couldn't possibly think that things could suddenly get worse, she wasn't one to be clumsy. Then again, maybe she shouldn't have been running as fast...
Unfortunately, Maron had misjudged her luck. When she got up, her dainty nose slightly bleeding from the harsh impact with the floor, the girl's face had once again been assaulted by one of the swinging doors, which caused her to fall back again in pain. Maron was no stranger to accidentally breaking things, let alone her face; she made a mental note to never run through the school again unless she had to. That was a promise, oh, that was a promise... For now.
Slowly, the horse faunus got up, completely unphased by the blood slowly dripping from her nose. She did sway a bit, but she would be alright, "I think." After quickly stuffing her nostrils with two wads of tissue, Maron was ready to make a good first impression to hopefully replace the first kinda-shitty first impression she just made. She was no stranger to the pain, and will probably forget about this situation in a few hours when her nose stops bleeding and her face is no longer hurting. At least she made it in time though!
"Having a nose bleed is worth it if it means I won't get in trouble, yeah! Ow... Ow.. Ow..." Still in a daze, Maron looked around for the guy from before, Qing, was it? Lo and behold, Qing was having his way with the ladies, what a guy! Sniffing her tissue in a bit as she picked up her duffel bag and slung it over one shoulder, Maron casually strolled over to Qing and his lady friends. "Hey again, 'King.'" Maron said as she pointed a finger pistol at the young man, winking.
Maron shifted her gaze to the two young ladies present, and also flashed a playful finger pistol, ignoring her eyes swelling up with tears, "Oh my God my nose..." Maron grinned happily, How's everyone's day?" Maron said as she stood there, gesturing to the floor to see if it was alright to sit with the growing group. "How rude of me, HAY, the name is Maron... Maron Stallius... I promise I don't normally look like this, ahaha... Ow..."
