All teams called to a mission in Atlas must first report to the Beacon Academy Airdock. Once there, you are checked in at a desk ran by both the military and school administrators. They check you in and give you a passport which they stamp before handing it to you. An odd thing to need a passport, especially when the country you are visiting is presumed toppled. They smile and wish you good luck on your mission. You do not need to wait long. A massive airship, larger than any you have ever seen before blots out the sun and slowly descends into the airdock. You are your fellow team members are simply instructed to wait until the docking procedures are finished. Chairs are not provided, your luggage, if any, is stacked off in the distance to be loaded by airship personnel.
Meet your team, or talk with other teams for your first two posts.
Prompt 2
Once the ship is ready the lights on the sides of the main door turn green and an announcement is made over the loud speakers that boarding has begun. A military officer guides you onto the ship. The air feels stale. The ship is mostly metal and seems very new. It obviously had a huge amount of work done on it to get it to this state from where it was found on the northshore. You are all brought into a small room with benches for a basic orientation where they show the ship's general layout and talk about where to go and what to do in case of an emergency. They make sure to repeat that It is a long journey to Atlas so they may as well get comfortable and rest up After the orientation the tour continues on. The teams have a single room with bunkbeds to share if they choose to sleep. The room's door opens up into a central room with several tables in it. A sort of cafeteria and entertainment complex where all teams can talk and wait until they arrive in Atlas.
The ship shakes with turbulance every now and then. An odd thing for such a large vessel. The wall to the left (westward) is heavily reinforced with a metal security shield, but it was left cracked a foot open so that everyone can see out. The sky is gloomy and overcast for most of the trip. Every now and then a large serpent faunus can be seen swimming through the oceans. A hostile reminder as to why the oceans were regarded as unsafe for anything but fully armed navies.
A half a dozen times one could see a flying grimm, whether it be a Lancer or a Griffon that approaches the airship and is nearly instantly blasted out of the air by some gunner. The glass was thick and sound proof though so this would not disturb anyone sleeping.
Get comfortable. Explore. Meet new people. Two posts then if you wish to stop you can go to sleep. Or you can continue to talk!
Prompt 3
A soft female voice crackles to life over the load speaker and tells everyone that Atlas has been reached. The ship begins its descent. Out the window can be seen a frozen wasteland. Mostly flat, but the waves crash against the cliffy shores. A few mountains can be seen in the distance, and one close by, but the ground is hilly and desolate for the most part. As the ship gets closer it becomes apparent that the nearby mountain is Fort Reed; their destination.
Lights along the edges of the room turn a deep purple color. The light strip has a dot that appears every now and then that moves along it. Guiding those that follow to the out-processing chamber. Before you get to the final exit you are lined up in a room with a scanner that picks out a set of wintry clothes that matches your bodytype perfectly to protect you from the cold of Atlas. The scanner is attached to an AI machine that customizes the look to match your aesthetic. The next hall has a series of changing rooms before you finally reach the exit. Military personnel in heavy parkas guide you out. The airship is parked just outside the main gate, but within a secured perimeter.
After you have posted twice on this prompt, post your entrance to the Ŧσят Rєєd.
Rin would awake sleepy and bleary-eyed to the sound of his alarm. His first thought upon waking was to throw it away to get rid of the noise. His second thought was to, after reaching his hand out, get lucky and hit the snooze button to go back to sleep. His third thought was him remembering what he set the alarm for. The sleepy fox would reluctantly open his eyes, locate his scroll in the dimly lit room, and end the alarm. He was really really tempted to just fall back asleep but...he had a mission that day. 'The first step to having our home free,' he thought to himself quietly. While he was lazy and didn't want to do much besides fun, even he knew the responsibility he had to the tribe. And getting their homeland back to safe and sound status was something he wanted to do, not just because he was a Rupa. Sadly, it would only be him and Apollo going; Kitsuko was not yet prepared for such a mission after her long kidnapping, which he understood. He would understand any other reasons she had as well; for him though he knew he had to go for too many. It was strange to think; he had only been here a short time, and now one of the reasons he was here seemed to have paid off. He was unsure how much was done, but it seemed the foxes were successful in one way or another; Beacon and the Vale military, at least some of them, were going to Atlas. Having a big yawn, and stretching his arms, the arctic fox would slowly descend from the upper bunk to the ground. Wiping sleep from his eyes, he would gather his clothes and head into the bathroom to change and prepare. After having prepared himself as best he could, being the one to take longest of the pair with Apollo being ready well in advance of him, the duo of Apollo and Rin found themselves at the Beacon academy airdock. Rin had gained some of his energy and excitement as each step forward was one closer to Atlas. As they reached the desk, Rin would look curiously at the passport and the people giving it to them. "Why do I need this if I came from there?" he would ask curiously. He would move along regardless of the answer given to him, if any was. They would smile and wish him luck, Rin waiting on them to finish Apollo's, before they would continue moving towards their destination. "I never thought to ask before Apollo, but have you been to Atlas or Solitas before?" he would ask of his teammate curiously. When hearing the news of it, Apollo was the only one to agree to go with him; Kamyu also seemed unable to come for his own reasons. As he asked, they would see the big airship begin to descend to the airlock; it blotted out the sun for a bit too! "Wow...when I came over here, all I had was a boat!" he would exclaim aloud. He had never been on an airship before. Currently, he had a small travel-case with him (primarily for snacks and Wakana) as he spied a place for them to sit and wait till they were allowed to board. "Over there!" he would say, rushing to claim the seats as he sat down quickly on his own. "How do you feel about the trip?" Rin would ask curiously of him; Rin personally had butterflies in his stomach, as was likely evident by how talkative he was this morning. A mix of apprehension and excitement at what was to come.

❅OOC: Apologies if it is a lot...Rin is excited. Post 1 of Prompt 1. ❅
Team Dreamy had been picked to participate in an important mission and with this immense responsibility impending, Damien had decided to spend the majority of the previous night gaming much to the surprise of nobody. Dragging himself in the direction of the bedroom, he suddenly changed course toward Yumeko’s room deciding that starting the next morning with a headache, due to bumping his head against the middle bunk of the bunk beds, was an awful idea. He gently flopped onto the mattress with the distinct intention of not disturbing his friend who lay blissfully ignorant of his presence. From an outside perspective, she appeared to be sleeping peacefully. That was good! The boy would lay his head down on the pillow with nothing particularly on his mind and had easily fallen asleep within mere moments of making contact. That kind of skill would make many of people jealous; must be nice!
Damien was lying in a pool of his own drool as the sun began to peak into the room. “Five more minutes,” the boy would mumble pleading in his sleep beginning to stir. He would roll over to the opposite side and grab the pillow nearest to him squeezing it tightly. Waking Yumeko with his embrace (who was the pillow in question), the girl would set him aside more gently than Damien would have anticipated for invading her personal space so intimately. That was very likely because he had nestled up against her mid-abdominal area. There were certainly more problematic areas to be snuggling… Had he been just a few inches higher, this interaction may have ended in a much different manner. Lucky for him, he would never have to know (for now).
Having woken up, Damien would let out an exasperated sigh regretting his decision to stay up so late. The boy would not complain too much however; he knew that his team was counting on him. He did not want to let them down! The first order of business would be taking a quick, cold shower in order to wake him up a little. When finished, Damien would make his way to the kitchen making breakfast for the team. “Breakfast sandwich,” the boy would question out loud to no one in particular. That would be convenient, so the team could promptly make their way to the Beacon Academy Airdock. He would prepare one egg, melted cheddar, smashed avocado, piquante peppers and a chipotle aioli on a grilled ciabatta; hopefully nobody minded a little bit of spice in their breakfast. He had chosen a very mild pepper just to be sure! After hastily eating the food he had prepared, Damien would make his way into the bathroom to brush his teeth and messily brush his hair around. He would make his way into the shared bedroom getting dressed into his normal combat attire. From everything he had ever been told, Atlas was likely to be quite cold. “Dress warm,” Damien would call out to his team but hopefully nobody else came ill-prepared for the trip. It would definitely make him feel bad… The boy supposed that he could share his jacket in an emergency; however Damien did not do well in the cold. It was why he always wore so many layers, even in mild weather. He grabbed some cables and items from the desktop shoving them into various cargo pockets contained on his body. He was ready… It was time to head out!
Making their way to the location, they would be guided toward a desk where they would check-in with their passports. “Hehehe,” Damien would laugh nervously avoiding eye contact with the people behind the check-in counter. “C-can I just… do this later,” He would look toward Yumeko pleadingly hoping that she had come more prepared than he. Did they mention the requirement of bringing their passport in any of the information which had been sent to them?! Amidst his panicking touching his hands over his clothing and slipping them into pockets, Damien felt something firm contained within his top jacket pocket. ‘Safe,’ the boy breathed a sigh of relief pulling the passport from its spot hidden within and handing it promptly to one of the employees. The boy smiled playfully as if this dramatic display had always been a part of the plan but surely, his team saw through this guise. The airship in the distance had finally docked and was massive in size. Damien wondered how many people were going to be participating in this mission. He looked around to evaluate those who had shown up so far but to be honest; there were still a lot of people trickling in. They must have showed up somewhat early but that was always Yumeko’s style.
Damien leaned over supporting himself on Rowser with his arms draped over his friend. Closing his eyes for just a second, “We are gonna kick this mission’s a**.” The boy smiled warmly hoping that his friends were not feeling too nervous. They worked really well together; he was confident there was not anything that they could not conquer as a team. Man, he really should have went to bed earlier last night; the boy lamented while making Rowser the victim of his dreadful decision-making as he fell soundly asleep, despite the hard exoskeleton beneath.

Ɲarx was excited when he first heard that their team had been assigned to the Atlas mission. It didn't take long for him to acquire all that he needed. But a day or two before he couldn't help but feel sick in the stomach. The fact that they were flying across the ocean, which had not been done successfully in who knew how many years, and going to be in a frosted wasteland with so many unknowns... He sat hunched over his bags outside the building awaiting Danaë. Worrying about the details. His brain felt foggy, but that wasn't abnormal. He just felt like he was forgetting something. Somethign about Atlas irked him the wrong way. "Ready?" he would say to her when he finally saw his feathered friend. The uncertainty was clear in his voice.
~
It didn't take long to get to the airdock. He would stare up at the massive Atlassain battleship with awe. "To think there used to be dozens of these things roaming the skies and killing grimm..." He would drop his bags in the designated spot and await to be called up. They would each get checked in and get a passport. His passport specified place of birth and Narx's eyes grew wide when he saw his. "I WAS BORN IN ATLAS?!" he would shove the passport into Danaë's face in shock."How did I not-" It was so strange to him. All sorts of pieces of his life felt unreal, foggy, and forgotten. How does one forget where they were born? He felt a cord struck deep inside of him. A new resolve to not forget the pass. To not let trivial details pass by.
"Danaë... I think something is wrong with me." he said with a serious tone. "Also, why do I need a passport when I am from there?" As he said it he heard someone else saying something similar. A white eared faunus boy. Narx walked over to the boy and tossed a hand out to shake. "My name is Narx, and I was just wondering the same thing. Why do we need a passport if we are from there. It makes no sense!"
Upon closer inspection they may or may not notice that those from other countries had a stamp on their passports that said they were temporarily honorary citizens of Vale until further notice. An emergency measure enacted by the council long ago.
"My name is Narx, and this is my girlfriend--I mean, team leader, Danaë." Narx say a bit awkwardly. He wasn't sure how he should introduce her. Also, that had to be awkward for others to hear.
With your team going to ATLAS on the first wave, I calling in that favor from Survival class. Was going to make you do grunt work but this highly more important. Considering some unfortunate circumstances....I won´t be there for some time. You are tasked on finding any interesting information.. The more the better. ... What going on in Atlas, what people like if anyone is there, and more importantly...any classified information you can find...if seems like someone is hiding something your team need do their best to try discover what being hidden in the dark. Sounds boring but a deal is a deal. I should of just punched you in the throat.....but be a waste of such a nice body. Almost be disappointing.....Side note. IF you see a freak with violet eyes, a fork tongue and blue hair. Slit his throat for me...
Rowser Rabbleman Team DRMY “Silence is golden. And that's also why I'm not stupid rich.”
Rowser had managed to sleep a good sleep for once in a while. His exoskeleton had finally healed (leaving a few scars behind for those looking close enough to see them) which certainly added to his comfort up in the top bunk. The shortest one on the team up in the highest spot which certainly wasn't just to see what being tall was like! No, not at all!
Bugboi's slumber would be interrupted as a wondrous aroma filled his nostrils. “Foooooooddddd.....” He grumbled and stirred from his sleep. A buzz filled the air as Row's insect-like wings flapped furiously and his body rolled over from his bed. Followed promptly by a loud THUD when he hit the floor. Ever as quickly he climbed to his feet and continued on as though it had all been part of the plan. Legs almost skipping out to have the wonderfully smelling breakfast sammich. “Good morning, Damien~!” He called out to his best buddy. “Thank you!” You always thank the one what feeds you.
Rowser chomped down on the sammich and the flavor sent such moisture to his eyes. And the heat. Also the heat. Several times he spat out air and took large gulps of orange juice to try to kill the spice that his underdeveloped palate couldn't handle. But dang did it taste good! After giving his goodest friend a hug it was time to get dressed. Their leader told them to dress warm, but it was still Summer kind of? Maybe? Passing of time is hard. Rowser at least dressed himself in a long sleeved shirt and a heavier vest.
Enough time had passed that he felt comfortable enough around his team to let his true self be out on the regular. As such he had cut holes in his vest to allow his wings out, and a smaller hole in the back of his pants to let out his bioluminescent light from his tailbone. “Oof!” He grunted when he reacquired his favoritest Damien-scarf. It took a few moments to pause and readjust his weight before continuing. Heavy steps. Heavy breaths. Heavy Damiens. But he wouldn't stop. Rowser's pace had slowed, but he continued nonetheless.
“Oh we're gonna kick this mission, alright!” He groaned. “We're gonna kick it. Right in the......something.....right team?”

Hands reaching up as sleep clouded his brain, he would feel fur... 'BINX!' he would yell in his mind, too tired and mouth covered from being able to vocalize it, as he would grab the cat and toss it off of him. Not too hard or far, but just to get it clear of him and his face. Taking in a deep breath now, as who knows how long the cat was trying to smother him, he would rub his eyes and look around. Doubtless, his teammates were already almost fully ready if not already ready. He had set his alarm as late as he realistically could to catch up on sleep; the news from a few days prior still bothered him. Ella's brother had passed away, and she had gone to be with her family during this time. All of them had agreed it was for the best and could not fault her for it; the only downside was the rest of them were going to Atlas without her for now. While it was the right thing to do and best for her to not go for now, it still didn't make Henryk miss her any less or worry since she wouldn't be with them. He wanted to try to help her out if he could for it, cheer her up, but the rest of them had to attend the mission. As such, his sleep the last few days hadn't been the greatest and were why he set his alarm as he did for today. Slowly rising from bed, Henryk would zombie shuffle to get ready; feeling the weight of their coming mission and circumstances on his mind.
After getting ready, and having breakfast, Henryk was feeling more himself and energized. He hadn't been to Atlas in many years; the last time he had been there was with his traveling circus. He wondered how they were doing, and how many people from their shows there were still around; if in Vale now. They were now supposed to go to someplace called the air-dock? He had never really seen or noticed it truthfully before. Following the signs and directions, he and his team would eventually make it there. Of course, there was a line and a check-in booth to go with it. He would go first of his team; he had experience moving between nations from his time with the circus. It was odd to get a passport, he had one somewhere in his bags, and he would hear a similar sentiment from others. Looking down at his though, he saw it said temporary honorary citizen of Vale. It was weird to him regardless of why they needed it if they were going to a nation that had fallen, but he just stayed quiet in regards to that. He didn't want to remain in the paperwork section of this longer than he had to. Once done, they would be wished good luck. "Thank you," was all Henryk would say with a cheerful smile. As they finished and walked forward, a massive airship would begin to dock! It was so big it blotted out the sun for a bit. "It's huge! I've never been on one that big!" Henryk would exclaim aloud. His attention would be transfixed by it for a little bit before he snapped out of it at hearing familiar voices. Looking, he would see the students from Grimm class there; having arrived not long before them. Though Damien, the leader, seemed to pass out just then. "Hey guys! Fancy seeing you all again. This trip is going to be awesome!" Henryk would call out to team Dreamy with a smile and wave. While things may've not gone the best with Chlo and Yumeko cause he didn't accept a bet, he still was gonna be friendly to them. Most of them seemed nice after all.
With that brief greeting done, he would see there were seats scattered about the area. Not one to resist a rest spot, or miss the best seats in the house, Henryk would rush forth; jumping over chairs and students alike to get some of the few remaining seats in the front row. He wanted to be as close to the center of action as possible, and his team to be one of the first to board hopefully. Doing a front flip into his own seat and sticking the landing, even if his bum felt a little sore since it was just standard seating and nothing fancy, Henryk nevertheless had a grin on his face. "Over here guys! Front row seats," he would say, looking over his shoulder and waving to his team. He reached into his small bag and took out some sodas and bags of chips; prime time snacks while they waited as he knew how long air-ship boarding and prep could take, at least when you were traveling normally back then. "Food and drinks on me~!" he would say cheerfully to his team as he settled in. He would pause a moment from his exuberance, and grow a little more serious. "How are we feeling about our first big mission?" he would ask the rest of his team curiously. He was a mix of emotions himself, but he would let them answer first before he did. ✘ Post count: 112 ▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ OOC: If I need to fix anything let me know.

Chloris was up early this morning as she had wished to message Ella her well wishes before getting ready, and Binx had wanted her attention. It had been a restful sleep but, the morning proved to be a bit sad and slow; well, being the first awake at least. Cleaned up and getting ready for the day, she had chosen the appropriate outfit for such a mission. The tunic and pants were of thicker material, made for colder climates, the boots insulated but also waterproof for snow travel. She would then wrap pliable wooden belts around her waist rather than leather. Her hair, she would fix in small braids before looping them back behind her head to pin together.
She would be packing her bag with the necessary healing kit and extra clothes when her leader would awaken. Giggling softly, she would look to her kitty that had merely landed on her feet with a small hiss."Those two,"Chloris thought with a shake of her head."Mornin', Mimic,"Chloris greeted kindly before going back to her packing. She had plans for Binx to be looked after at the Vets/pet hotel in the city, so the black feline would be well looked after; she just hoped it was not for too long; as the feline would be picked up not long after. Bag packed and on her back, quarterstaff in hand, dagger sheathed at her right hip, she was ready. Once the boys were ready, Chloris would smile and head out for breakfast.
After a good breakfast, they would head to their destination; Beacon Academy Airdock. Smiling was infectious when it came to their positive leader's energy. She could not deny that, and why would she. As they made their way to the air dock, the petite young woman would look around, impressed with the airships, but also disturbed as they were not natural. Keeping it to herself, she would wait with her leader and Remus in line as they got signed in and got their passports; it was not her first time as her travels were from Mistral herself. But, it was the first time she was going to Atlas. It seemed there were quite a few teams going.
Once they were signed in, bags taken, and passports were given she would follow Henryk. Giggling softly from his response as it was very soothing to her. Pausing briefly only when he acknowledged the members of the distasteful Team Dreamy. Now, she had nothing against the other members personally, but the Yumeko girl was just not a person that should be in Beacon, in her opinion. It had been a while though, and she felt some annoyance had left; she couldn't promise it would be gone long though if the girl spoke again."Mornin',"Chloris greeted with a small smile and nod of politeness to them before continuing on."Thank you, Henryk,"Chlo said when she had reached her leader and the seats he had secured for them. To her leader's enthusiastic question, she only nodded kindly, a bit in thought.

Xanthe Shaw
Xanthe awoke early, there was so much still to do and so little time left. Well, that was probably an exaggeration, she had taken out and repaired her old fur jacket and trousers, packed most of her supplies and looked up former seal hunting sites on the off chance that this thing with Atlas goes so well that they give them time off afterwards. This morning she showered, dressed in her travelling gear, assuming that beacon wasn't going to make them trek across land to their destination though reasoning if that was the case her attire would make do for now. Before sitting down to eat breakfast, she had gone with porridge, a bland mixture of oats that was surprisingly cheap but meant that she could cut down on snacking, it was really becoming an issue where she was starting to eat during most of her classes. To be on the safe side, she had three bowls. She pointed to the nearly empty pot when Ylva showed her head and then went to triple check she had everything. A few minutes later she returned with her pack. "Ready?" She adjusted the strap on her spear to redistribute the weight and opened the door. "Don't worry, I have the medical plants book, can't forget that!" She cackled to herself intent on getting petty revenge on their teacher in the most obtuse way.
They arrived at the airdock in good time, Xanthe moved to queue up in the shortest line. It wasn't long before she was at the counter and handing over her stuff, spear excluded, it seemed like a few of the others were travelling light, it was probably assumed that beacon would provide equipment for the weather a thought that was only now occurring to her. No matter, better to be over prepared than under. The clerk handed her a receipt and a little book with her name and picture in. "Wouldn't dog tags be more practical?" She blurted out, aloud as she slipped the paper inside the book. The good luck after that sounded less convincing. Xanthe moved to inside and then took up a station where she could wait for Ylva. As she waited, she craned to see if she could see anyone else she knew, but was distracted by the man who had decided to elbow his way through a crowd at high speed to get his hands on a chair, the flip was certainly impressive. "Seven out of ten, pretty good but it needed more jazz hands." Everything could be improved with jazz hands.

The morning brought with it its own challenges as she had been tailoring the night before. Never letting that stop her before, she would awaken to find her partner was not around."She must be excited...I shall find her in a bit."Ylva nodded to herself and decided to wash for the day via basin and cloth before fixing her hair to two tight braids along her head and dressed according to ease of travel. Packed and ready, she would then go hunting down her companion. Finding her, she would smile a bit. Weapons at her back with her pack, she would smile and prepare herself a bowl of the porridge."Do ya rehee (really) thiunk (think) we'll need it?"The wolf inquired with a full mouth, though amused all the same with the jest. After a bit, she'd finish her nourishment, helped clean while her partner packed, and then refill her waterskins before they left."From hot sands to lush city, now to frozen lands...What adventures await..."Ylva pondered as they journeyed to their destination.
Rabbit fur and deerskin as well as more pliable purchased materials were mainly her outfits, which suited her well. Dressed in darker brown, she was comfortable as she looked around. Just as impressed as Xanthe was, though the line was annoying, she had gotten used to them since her year in Vale. After a bit, Xanthe would get her "passport" then it was her turn. As she handed over her travel bag with her necessaries, she would get her passport out."Thank you."The wolf nodded and left to find Xanthe. Growling softly from the annoyance of being pushed a little, she resisted the urge to sink her teeth into the offender. She would then go and sit by her shark friend, chuckling softly from the tall young woman's comment."7...More like 8,"Ylva commented wordlessly as she sat back in her seat.

┏━━━━━━━━┓ Aurelia Hayes ┗━━━━━━━━┛ ✬Deputy Head Mistress of Beacon Academy✬ Shadow Education Minister✬
Aurelia arrived at the dock, luggage in tow, to see it already bustling with students. She couldn't decide which was worse. Leaving this lot unsupervised in Atlas, or leaving Aurtrox unsupervised here. She wouldn't be surprised to find Sanctuary had burnt down during her absence, the council having revolted. With Eteria suspended, Aidou missing, and Sebastian and herself overseas, it left Aurtrox as effectively the head of the council. She wished the others luck in keeping him under control. And said a small prayer for herself after Northshore.
She received her passport at the check-in desk, a relic from a time when more than just Vale existed. It felt strange holding one again. Near her, the young demon leader was shouting excitedly about being from Atlas. It was hard to believe he was once the dangerous leader of a large army. He seemed so airheaded and doltish. Hardly a threat. Certainly not worth keeping an eye on. Still, she had to question the wisdom of putting his real place of origin on the passport.
Dropping off her luggage with the rest of the growing pile, Aurelia made her way over to a rather handsome gentleman with blue hair. Most, if not all of the students there would be shocked to learn Aurelia did, in fact, have a husband. Likely in part because she had kept her maiden name. "At least most of them remembered to wear coats," Aurelia said, expressing her relatively low expectations.

Repentant Knight
Apollo Crimson Delinquent
Forget the past I define me and no one can change that....
Apollo unfortunately was up much earlier than he wished to be today, as missions tend to do that to him. Apollo was able to take hit time getting ready and even double check his gear he prepped the day before, since Aya was a late sleeper that made things go smoother with no one to contend the bathroom. The lemur didn't really care for it aside from the fact I helped his grades but given Rin moving as if on auto pilot flying through his morning routine Apollo couldn't help but be entertained by the sight and just that alone was enough to, even if only a little bit, improve his motivation. Apollo made his way out of the dorm with Rin and once they reached the docks was surprised to be given a passport, as he shared the same thoughts his companions face seemed to exude. He was from Atlas why did he need a passport? Not in the mood to ponder the workings of Atlas again Apollo put it from his mind and simply took the passport and went on his way. Not long after receiving his passport did the male have the sun taken from his face by a rather unnecessarily enormous ship to which he would scoff at and roll his eyes. "Atlas over compensating again." He would think to himself before turning to Rin to answer his curiosity. I was born in Atlas and have been all over for one reason or another. So I cannot say for certain I was never in Solitas. Apollo said before chasing after Rin as he quickly took a seat on the massive ship. I would have hated a boat ride here from Atlas. Apollo said now sitting beside Rin with his backpack. (Was filled with sleeping bag, eye covers and a pillow.) Apollo looked to Rin as he spoke about uneasiness before raising a fist to the male. No need to be so nervous I got your back. I don't plan to die any time soon if it ever comes to that...I also have no intention of going back to that dorm with the two of them without you. I really would get no sleep. Apollo said trying not to shudder from the thoughts of what would happen. I feel a bit uneasy myself all things considered. Every moment thinking of Atlas reminds me of how crazy it can be. So we just keep ready for anything. Don't worry to much though if we keep to the plan we will be alright. Apollo told Rin in a small attempt help him past his nerves before he looked about the ship for any familiar faces. .
....It will hurt alot less when you all finally realize that.

The shifting tone was evident. Dread now turned into an atmosphere of mystery and anxiousness. He wished he could share the innocence of the teams that were boarding onto the vehicle to prepare to be used like instruments of war. It's no different than Aurtrox, but at least Aurtrox adds a type of of facade to it. Sebastian wasn't going to sugar coat anything. The military was functional, but beyond the top recruits and those who were seasoned veterans, sadly the huntsmen in training had them beat. A soldier with a gun is good until a semblance is needed. Joint operations were increasing more and more. The Alpha and Omega caves were a mess. Sebastian grew visibly sick just reading the unredacted reports about what went down. How did unsavory characters get by? Sebastian suspected there were some leaks in their defenses. He would not address them though. In fact, it was better to use it to their advantage. Just like the students of beacon.
He appeared to be in deep thought when Aurelia finally arrived. He had to admit, he thought Aurtrox would make her stay back at the school. His facial expression did not change as she took her position next to him. She saw same things he was seeing. A chuckle escaped in regards to the coats comment. “Coats are only going to do so much in the harsh conditions of Atlas. I hope they know how protect themselves from the temperatures they will be facing. Suck they succumb to the freezing elements just because they thought a jacket was good enough to slack on the basics” Was that as hot at the school or at Kail? Such an energetic fox. Your home aint nothing like use to be I can assure you. he thought before sliding over to the next team. The demon man himself and a glimpse of a certain....group of individuals. Team Dreamy and Main was it? He didn't truly know. He was guessing as he did not have a chance to study up on the paperwork. None of the teams he found impressive so far. In fact, he found their energy to be quite...too relax.
The blurting of Xanthe's words brought an uncharacteristic smile upon the male. “Trust dog tags and trackers be easier...mix with a little dosage to take the edge off” he whispered before his eyes caught the miniature performance. His voice would project through the speakers of the aircraft as he clicked a button on his scroll. “All students of beacon, please promptly take a seat once you have boarded and try not to act like the undomesticated animal that some of you may take after. Your headmaster may allow you to act like wild animals, but you will act like you have common sense while under our care. Do not make me throw you off the ship.” He warned. His tone cold as ice but had a common ring to it. Unclicking the button from his scroll, he would talk back to his wife. “Not only do you bring me fools my dear..,” he started before peaking at Apollo, “You bring me criminals and the mentally handicapped as well? Are you sure these are the best Beacon have to offer? Or are you sending Guinea pigs as some type of joke?” He wondered.
“Side note you look just as dangerous and beautiful as I remember.”
It appears tomorrow will be his first mission with his team… how was he supposed to sleep with all that excitement inside?! The shark couldn’t sleep for more than half an hour before waking up out of excitement and anticipation before trying to sleep once again, truly the curse of his hyperactivity, at one point he saw how Damien simply laid back and fell asleep without any problem! Truly a work of art Maokai wished he could mimic. An hour before the rest of his team Maokai sprang out of bed, not able to contain himself any longer he dressed up in his battle uniform and went on a jog around campus, he had to burn out his excitement somehow! Knowing himself though, he will easily recover all of it in less than three hours. Coming back to the dorm Maokai was smiling brightly, his hair was a mess and he was sweating quite a bit, he would sniff the air a bit as he could smell the breakfast Damien made for them “oh that smells fantastic! I’ll be right there to eat it!” he yelled before entering the shower to quickly wash and get back out after less than five minutes and sat down next to Rowser and with a few chomps he completely devoured his sandwich as his face turned red from the spiciness, it wasn’t too spicy for the boy but it was obvious he felt it, he did like spicy food so he had no complaint there.
Once finally getting on the ship after giving his passport to Yumeko (knowing how Damien most likely would forget it) he looked around at the people already inside seeing some familiar faces there “oh Henryk! It defiantly will be with you guys here!” he waved at him before looking around and realizing, he is going to be stuck in an airship for a while… how will he contain his excitement!? There’s not a lot of space to run and even if there was it wasn’t very smart doing it on an airship! Shaking his head, he would take a deep breath before noticing another familiar face “Xanthe? Oh wow, I didn’t think I would see you here after so long! How have you been? It’s nice knowing there are many familiar faces here, especially one that shares some sort of similarity to me” he would chuckle a little, he was quite excited seeing her here, after all, it has been a few months since they met. Post count: 50 Out Of Chomps: Maokai has sprung into action!
Reikka tried to get some sleep the evening before the mission, but Sky Hiraga kept haunting her dreams that night. She kept seeing the image of him slink away from The Hold's location and saw herself just silently staring at the image, as she had no way to convince him to go with them. She saw Aurtrox hesitate but didn't have a choice but to pull out the craft before they were once again swarmed by opposing Red Fang members where they flooded the area. The next morning, Reikka had a nice and long silent moment before she privately said goodbye to Sky in her mind, finding closure wherever it was given. She got dressed and stuffed the morning's breakfast in her mouth, and then went ahead to chase her teammates down as she was roughly 15 minutes behind them from the point of time when they departed. Slight dark circles could be found beneath her eyes as she dashed through the school and made her way to the loading dock, but she made sure to wash her face before she left so it wasn't as apparent. When she got there, people were lined up everywhere without any visible organization, so she began pushing through the crowd to find her team. When she caught sight of Val, Auburn and Dee through the crowd, she waved to them rather straight-faced and approached them. There was alot on her mind right now, but all that mattered to her was that she got there before the loading dock got even more crowded or, worse, that she got left behind. While Reikka was busy having some private time in the bathroom, she heard Val scold Reikka on the other side of the door just as they were leaving that she was going to be late. But Reikka felt bogged down having slept a little late from the night before, and needed to feel good again about herself before she could even consider going on a mission that would risk their necks and who knows what else once more.
As her teammates turned to acknowledge her being there, she nodded to each one of them and said, "You guys ready? We'll be boarding the craft for Atlas soon." Then Reikka left her team for a bit to trudge through the large and growing crowd to show the officers at the dock her passport when she was vaguely called in the distance, not at all in hurry and completely at home in the crowd. She waited patiently as they looked through it, while her eyes began to wander at the scenes unfolding around her. She observed as more people came in, a certain number of them certainly looked like they just got up and had a rough morning. Most though, didn't look at all like they seemed phased at what was about to transpire on the snowy mountaintops and seemed to be getting along well with the rest of the student gathering. All seemed well, for now. But the mission was just about to start and Reikka was getting off feelings about the whole thing already. How many students will they lose this time? Will her team make it out just like last time? Is there a possibility of her getting kidnapped again? The last thought felt ridiculous to her, but seeing as how crazy everything had been only a couple weeks ago, her ideas didn't seem insane to her at all. She looked at the castle looming at a feasible distance from the loading deck, and an odd sense of longing crossed her mind: Would she see ever the school again? She just got back and started living with her teammates again only such a short amount of time ago, and now they won't even know if they'll make it through this mission too. But there was only one way to find out, and that is to head into the whole thing with guns blazing and their heads held high. But Val had been right; they had a mission to do, and there was no time to doubt their skills or their experience level.... they just had to go into it with everything they had up their sleeves.
