“Beware of those that are slow to anger, for when it is long coming it is the stronger, for when it comes, and the longer kept, Abused patience turns to fury”
=========================================================================== 'Well... it wasn't exactly when I was planning on attending but its...good to finally be here.' Nikolas mused as he wandered around the courtyards of Beacon Academy. enjoying the weather. finding a comfortable seat beneath a tree, before pulling out his scroll and flicking through his messages to see if his weapons registration paperwork had gone through and been processed yet. turns out that it had not...
Letting out a quiet sigh and rolling his neck, Nikolas closed down his scroll and leaned back, letting his head thunk on the trunk of the tree, he simply enjoyed the moment. it had been a while since he was able to just sit.
the sound of voices in the distance caught Nikolas's attention and focus. curious as to who was speaking and was surprised to see a plethora of brightly colored characters all mingling and from the looks of it, enjoying each others company. smiling at this scene, "You cant drift off like that Nik. you got a job to do." he muttered to himself remembering the lessons he had learned in his years "abroad" not paying attention and drifting off into his own little world like that could get him or worse someone else killed.
letting out a huff and leaning forwards Nikolas decided that a bit of people watching was in order. if only to pass the time until his paperwork was sorted and he got his official room and team assignment.
Shooting one last look up to the spires and dominating clocktower of the Huntsmen academy, he could not help but say out loud, "welcome to Beacon"
"It's how you use your power that matters. You should be proud of your abilities, We know what we have to do. Let's go."

Azura Knight
Having another stranger join them, especially one who seemed as intent on hitting on her as Ryker, was the last thing Azura wanted, though she was much too shy and polite to say so. Then again with the apparent rivalry between the two maybe they'd both end up forgetting about her and she could slip away while they were both too busy trying to outdo each other. Either way, her answer would inevitably the same, whether by social norms or vain hope that she'd be forgotten. She opened her mouth to say something to the effect that Fran was welcome to join them when the pink haired girl spoke first.
"It must be that stupid smile"
She found herself rather taken aback by the sudden rudeness. Especially when Ryker had been nothing but nice to her. Just because she wasn't into dudes didn't mean she had to be so rude. An awkward moment followed before hurried footsteps against the paving stones could be heard and a familiar voice called her name. Her smile was immediate and was the feeling of relief. At least for a moment before she thought to be concerned about how Cecil might react to Ryker and Fran. Perhaps if she could just...
Azura... are you... making a harem?"
Her face turned the deepest shade yet as her eyes went wide in horror. "No!" she blurted out rather forcefully. "I wouldn't! I-I don't want..." Yet another student, this one a with large wolf ears and a tail, joined them cutting into the conversation. How much had she heard? Please don't let her think Azura was starting a harem. Was it possible to die from embarrassment? She might soon be the first documented case. Azura was in such a state she wasn't even paying attention to what the new girl was saying and neglected to introduce herself.

“Beware of those that are slow to anger, for when it is long coming it is the stronger, for when it comes, and the longer kept, Abused patience turns to fury”
=========================================================================== Continuing with his people watching. Nikolas could barely keep track of who was talking to who and what was going on where as the courtyard continued to fill up. one thing that struck him though was one black haired lady seemed to be rather uncomfortable in the presence of a blond guy, a brunette who seemed to know her several, different varieties of faunus (one with heterochromia), a pinkette whom he could not really get a read on. there were several other groups congregating together but this one was closest.
Rising to his feet and unconsciously straightening his jacket. and deciding that it would be better to get introductions over with began to make his way towards the throng. if someone was going to be uncomfortable, maybe they wouldn't feel as bad with someone else looking as lost as they did at the moment. even if she had at least two acquaintances already, maybe. After all, marching up and introducing himself was the way he made friends back in ...Sanctum... and Signal, no reason why it should not work here right. Right?
"Once more unto the breach, once more." he paraphrased to himself quietly as his gate became more rigid. falling back on the training his mentors had given him he was about to snap to attention and greet the group when the black-haired girl blurted out "No." and how she "Wouldn't" and "Didn't want" Context and information needed to be established... Bullying? Harmless fun? Harassment? Prank? ...Harem? blinking several times in rapid succession, Nikolas decided to go with the tried and true... maybe.
"HELLO! My name is Nikolas Chernyy. I am new here at Beacon. Would any of you want a piece of candy?" quickly removing a jar from a pouch with practiced ease. the Huntsman in training flipped the jar open and quickly fished out a piece before popping it into his mouth biting down hard for that crunch. the only problem was the piece he had selected was one of those extra strength cinnamon ones that burned for hours. and had a tendency of sticking to ones teeth if the bit down on it.
he could not help but wince slightly as his jaw was locked in to place by the sugary treat and his tongue started to burn but he was determined to make this work so he put on the best smile (or grimace) he could and glanced around to the other students(?) offering the jar. all the while trying to work his jaw free from the cinnamon trap he had bit right in to.
▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ Ryker's attention was caught by some other male voice calling Azura, so much so that he did not notice the words Fran muttered under her breath. Not that he felt particularly that he should have honestly. If she wanted whatever she said to actually be heard she would not have muttered it, given her own introduction. Gaze focused now on the approaching male, Ryker would note his brown hair and rather fanciful garb. He clearly liked to dress formally and have that appearance to him. Not that Ryker could blame him, it looked particularly nice even if it made him seem way to important to be a student and made Ryker desire to mess with him a little. Mostly just to see if his personality followed his looks. Looking at his own garb, Ryker smiled internally at the contrast. He liked not being so fancily dressed for the most part, especially when in the presence of people that seemed overly dressed. He wasn't sure why. 'Though I also wouldn't mind learning where he got those clothes. Could be fun for parties.' He thought to himself. Hearing the man call him a trackstar was alright in his mind, he did look like he may be in such a club. Though when he mentioned Fran being a cotton candy haired vampire he could not help but laugh slightly at it. It may have been an impolite thing to do, but he couldn't help it when he could actually see it now! Still laughing slightly, he would respond. "Thanks for the compliment, but i'm more of a soccer guy myself." He would respond simply. Part of him was tempted to comment on Fran being a vampire but he felt it would only make things less funny, so he was content to not say anything in that regard. He also didn't want to make it worse for her if she responded negatively to the nickname.
He would then ask who he and Fran were, and why they were making his Azura comfortable. 'Is he dating her, or is he her brother?' Ryker wondered to himself. He didn't at all look like her so he doubted he was her brother, but then he could never be certain. He knew of siblings that looked nothing alike which could be the case here. But he at least seemed protective of her, and without her resisting the closeness it seemed to be mutual. If it was the former, he should probably stop flirting... or maybe make it clear it was only casual. Maybe. Actually even if it was the latter... oh well. Before Ryker could respond, Fran would seem to have been set off by what he said to a bit. Claiming he had been checking her out and questioning how he came to a conclusion, and her trying to flip it on him. While uncertain what it was at first, and in a rare use of logic, he figured it was the making her uncomfortable bit. As he doubted she would be calling him a cotton haired vampire, though that would be pretty funny if she were. However, it seemed she didn't finish whatever she was going to say because of the word my. 'It seems like shes also figured we may need to tone back the flirting a little.' He thought to himself before his eyes widened in surprise at her mentioning Azura was making a harem and seeming to believe it was the best thing ever. Taking a moment to let that sink in, Ryker would look to Azura curiously to see what her response would be before looking to cecil to respond to him. "Just complimenting Azura, though I'll say your style of clothing is pretty cool. It's my own philosophy that if someone is beautiful or something looks good on them, they should be told such. I am sorry if it made you too uncomfortable though. The name is Ryker, may I know yours and where you got that outfit?" He would say with a friendly smile on his face, being entirely truthful. Had he actually been flirting to be something more, he may have twisted the truth a little. But he saw no real reason to right now. He would look at Azura as he apologized.
He didn't intend to make her too uncomfortable, though she seemed to not like the idea of one as her face turned super red and she tried to say she wouldn't but was struggling to. He didn't know how to offer her relief for that without complimenting her and probably making things much much worse. If this new guy was her boyfriend or brother, either way, he should know how to help her out. It was also at this point that yet another person would join their growing group. 'How popular is Azura?' He wondered to himself. She had already apparently attracted at least two others to their group, and now a third was here. This new girl, a attractive faunus with beautiful eyes, apologized for interrupting and was looking for someone before apparently finding it in Fran and introducing herself. 'This school is just full of beautiful women.' He thought to himself happily. It was not something he would ever complain about. He offered her a friendly smile as she again apologized and asked for their names. "Nice to meet you Yuki, if I may call you that. And no need to apologize, only just found my partner Azura recently. You have beautiful eyes by the way." He would respond in a cheerful tone, and of course slipping in the casual flirt while he was at it. He could get used to a school like this. Though it would seem their popularity was yet to come to an end. Not long after Yuki joined them, another person would join their group. He hadn't noticed him watching them earlier or anything with all that had been going on. He was the first person Ryker ran into that was roughly his size as well. He introduced himself, saying he was new and then offering candy. The old saying of never trust candy from a stranger popped into his mind, but seeing the guy take one Ryker figured it was safe. When offered Ryker would take one but also take note of his grimace from his eager eating of it. Taking that a a sign of warning, he would pop it onto his mouth but just begin to lightly suck at it instead to avoid whatever was ailing the Nikolas. It was a strong piece of candy, but Ryker managed it for now. "Nice to meet you Nico. I'm fairly new here too, though been here for a little bit at least. And thank you for the candy." He would say as he gave a friendly greeting in return. Though he began to wonder with so many people if they would get to the extra credit training, or just say they did it to get free credit. He was fine with either.
Cecil remained calm as while he listened to the cotton candy haired vampire. He could hear the words leaving the mouth of Fran as she spoke about how he came to the conclusion before she soon replayed his word 'My' back to him. "Yes.... she is my Girlfriend." He responded calmly before he heard Fran's next claim and had to resist the urge to chop the girl in the head with his hand for such an outrageous accusation. He soon hear another voice join the crowd as she came up and apparently came to claim the Vampire girl whom had never introduced themselves at all, but the new one seemed very fond of talking to themselves aloud. He raised an eyebrow before he heard her request on asking him their names. Just then, Azura began to stammer out her response to the Harem question and was trying to speak, he could swear he saw squiggly lines coming from her head from her embarassment before a NEW guy came up to them before offering them a piece of Candy. 'This is going to be giving me a headache....' Cecil mentally thought as he brought up his right hand to rub the bridge of his nose.
"No thank you on the candy." He spoke as he heard the resounding CRUNCH of that candy hitting his teeth, and wondered how this man did not crack his teeth.... could it be because of the aura protecting the man's chompers? Then the Trackstar spoke next as Cecil was still trying to get a headway active around him, his aura slipping the control and inadvertedly caused his semblance to activate and drop the temperature around him as he looked to him while he explained himself. 'At least he's honest about his philosophy then at least..... and polite.' Cecil thought before he cleared his throat. "I am Cecil, Cecil Roydon of the Roydon hunter family. My outfit was picked out to compliment my semblance that had just activated around me, if you feel an icy chill, it means I am normally around." Cecil told Ryker as he bowed his head while he reached a hand up to pet Azura's dizzying head gently. He looked at Yuki and soon spoke, "I wish you luck in your match, the vampire here seems to be unpredictable in the head for the moment." He spoke, namely from Fran's ability to jump from one thought to the next like a sour candy can somehow change to sweet in the middle.

The eyes of Azura and the look of horror on her face when she denied the claim amused Fran a bit, mostly with overly clothed boy confirming that he was Azura's relationship partner. Fran sighed and shook her head and was about to comment on how they don't look good together, but stopped herself as a Faunus girl came looking for her. Looking at the Faunus girl who introduces herself as Yukino, she wasn't as bad as Ryker, who is now not only complimenting the overly clothed person, but also Yukino. "You found me alright" she said to Yukino, looking at her, again noticing that while being not that much taller than Fran, has a much much much more developed body than hers. "Those are amazing" Fran mutters.
Her train of thought, as well as her deep stare, was interrupted by the words of a rather tall man that looks so militaristic, he just might be an actual soldier. A soldier that likes candy. A candy that gives people grimaces. "Francheska's the name of this cute Vampire. You can call me Fran or Cheska, or Chessie. I like Fran though. I'll skip on the candy, and talk with Yukino in private. Bye Zurie, Rykie, Cecie and you too Nikie! Come come Yuki, let's talk about this training" Fran said in a rapid manner, taking Yuki's hand and waving her goodbye to everyone. "Let's meet again soon!"
Thankfully Cecil explained they were together. She had already embarrassed herself enough without stuttering over her words trying to explain to this very large group of people that she already had a significant other and only wanted one. Azura gently squeezed Cecil's arm as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. It was a feeling she could sympathize with, and she was entirely grateful that he had come to rescue her. Perhaps one day she would learn some of Cecil's boldness or Ridley's smoothness or Adam's....Adamness, but as of right now she had none of those things and would have likely resorted to using her illusion to escape.
Oh. Maybe Ryker just gave everyone compliments. He did have that reputation, but listening to him comment on Cecil's outfit as well somehow made it all seem less....nefarious. She still didn't want more compliments, but the idea that maybe he wasn't really flirting with her made it more tolerable. And even Fran was commenting on Yuki's chest, rather than directed more attention on herself. At least some of the red was draining from her face, in part helped by the coolness coming off of Cecil. It felt so good at first that it took a moment for her to realize his semblence had been activated. Then she felt a bit guilty. If it wasn't for her total social ineptitude...
With things calming down, or at least with less attention being directed right at her, Azura seemed to find her footing again and spoke up after Cecil introduced himself to everyone. "It is a pleasure to meet you both." She directed at Yuki, who she'd been entirely rude to by not introducing herself to sooner, and to the new fellow with candy, Nikolas. How much had he overheard? "Thank you for the Candy." She added, politely taking one though after hearing the crunch his teeth made decided it was better not to suck on rather than bite. "My name is Azura Knight. Cecil and I are both on team DARK." Ridley was definitely going to wake up soon and remain leader of their team. No name changes required.
"Oh..uh...it was a pleaser meeting you both!" Azura gave both Fran and Yuki a wave with her arm that wasn't occupied with Cecil. If not entirely true, it was her standard farewell to anyone she had met the first time. Internally she was a bit relieved she would be free of Fran's flirtations. Hopefully permanently now that Cecil had announced that she and he were dating. Part of her feared that wouldn't stop Fran and she'd spread rumours around the school about Azura's 'harem'. 'She really does look like a cotton candy vampire.'

Yukino turned to the voice shouting a greeting. Though loud it didn't startle her. "Hello, Nikolas. I'm Yukino. It is a pleasure to meet you." she smiled sweetly. The young man seemed a bit nervous. Anxiety nearly dripping from his voice and body language. As if he practiced the motion hundreds of times he pulls out a jar container of candy. Opening it, her nose was immediately met with the smell of cinnamon. The scent was very welcome to her sensitive nose its aroma was very calming to her. Though she likes the smell she's not the biggest fan of the taste. Even so, she happily took one and placed it into her pocket. "Thank you very much, Nicolas. I'll save this for later." she said tapping her pocket twice. His voice didn't startle her, but the worry inducing crunch of the confection did. "Are you ok?!" she asked the man hoping he didn't break his teeth. That 'smile' also raised a flag in her head seeing he was fighting discomfort. Yukino's ears twitched at the word 'harem.' Her face turned a shade of red as she held her burning cheeks. "Oh, multiple young hearts combining with each other in to a whirlwind of love and passion! Is there truly anything more pure than love of any kind?" she swooned to herself thinking of her beloved. "Though I could never partake in that sort of thing for my heart beats and belongs to only one!" she spoke as her heart rate began to climb. She took a few deep breaths and to calm herself. "I'm so sorry I can get a bit...eccentric about love." she said. She fanned herself as she smiled at the group. It was explained that the the black haired beauty was NOT, in fact, making a harem, but was in an exclusive relationship with the boy in heavy gear. "It's all so adorable all the same!" she thought fighting her blush. Her attention was taken by the young blonde with a stripped shirt. "Oh! Thank you! I'm used to hearing that my eyes are weird. So this is a nice change." she giggled a bit. "And, yes, you can call me Yuki. Though I didn't quite catch your name. I know Azura from Cecil..." she open hand gestured to him"...and I also know Nikolas and Francheska because she's my partner." she explained hoping to catch the name of the gentleman. Yukino looked to her partner and smiled as she confirmed that she was, in fact, assigned to her. She clapped her hands together and smiled. "Yay! I'm so happy to be working with you, Francheska." She faintly heard the pink haired cutie mutter something. "Hmm? Those?" she questioned wondering what she was talking about. Yukino tilted her head as Fran mentioned talking to her in private. She fired off nicknames for everyone in the group rapidly as she said her goodbyes. One of the last things she heard before being whisked off by the cotton candy cutie was Cecil wishing her luck in a match. "Huh? What match?" she questioned. She looked to Fran as she spoke, "Huh? Trainin-whoa!" he exclaimed while being dragged away from the group. She hadn't thought about it until now, but she never checked what the assignment was. She couldn't help but notice that someone in the group smelled like someone she wanted to see. Someone shee NEEDED to see. If she was among the group for just a bit longer she could point them out. One thing was certain: Adam is close. The thought alone sent electricity up her spine. Post Count: 2
“Beware of those that are slow to anger, for when it is long coming it is the stronger, for when it comes, and the longer kept, Abused patience turns to fury”
=========================================================================== Nikolas would have sighed with relief and smiled if his teeth were not firmly lodged in hardened sugar and cinnamon flavoring as the other students around made their own introductions. he had apparently not rendered the introduction to an unsalvageable state with his botched candy offering. seeing as everyone who wanted a piece had taken one, The Huntsmen in training sealed the jar with practiced ease and stowed in quickly in a pouch all the while straining to regain control of his mouth. finally doing so by leaning to the side and rapping his jaw with his knuckles causing the candy to come loose with a audible pop. "thank you, Ms. Yukino. I am well. though it seems that I may have bit off a bit more than I could chew there..." going quiet for a moment the young man thought about the sentence he had just spoken and then snickered slightly. ‘Vale must really be rubbing off on me’ He was about to inquire as to what she meant by heart beating as one only for her to explain that she was talking about love, not that it was from a transplant…’My mind goes to very dark places sometimes...’
As the conversation turned towards partners and the Bubblegum pink haired girl ‘vampire-bat faunus?’, now identified as Francheska, 'AKA Fran AKA Cheska AKA Chessie. priority given to Fran', dragged her partner away much to Nikolas’s confusion, Nikolas raised a hand to wave them goodbye, as it was only polite to do so. Turning his attention to the others the identified Azura and Cecil, from team DARK and the blond gent identified as Ryker. A cool rush of wind was rather refreshing and recalling what Cecil mentioned earlier about his semblance, the native Atlasian could not help the small smile that crept on to his face. “Mr. Cecil if your semblance has to do with cold or temperature in general you my find yourself many friends from Atlas. There are may things I have come to like here in Vale but the temperature is not one of them.”
Glancing between the three, Nicolas could almost feel the tension drain out of his body as he continued talking. “So Mr. Ryker, you mentioned being new as well? I find myself at a bit of a loss as my paperwork and licensing is still being processed but how does one get on a team? I assume an evaluation of some sort occurs? And Ms. Knight, you mentioned that you and Mr. Cecil were on a team and together to as well? Congratulation’s for that by the way… where is the rest of your team if I may ask? Have they not arrived yet? Are you both in a higher grade?”
▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ As Cecil responded about Azura being his girlfriend Ryker felt internally relieved to have made the right call. It may not have ended to well if he hadn't guessed the two of them to have such a close relation to one another. Not that it really deterred him too much from paying compliments as he would mention his own personal philosophy, but he wasn't going to be disrespectful about it. Ryker felt it suddenly get a bit cold out of nowhere, shivering for a moment as his tail lightly wrapped around him before mostly becoming comfortable with it. 'Is this the chill people get when there are ghosts around?' He wondered to himself silently, eye glancing around a little but seeing no sign of the supernatural. Cecil would the introduce himself officially and give a bow, 'Fancy like his outfit,' and explain the cold came from him. 'Huh, Ice powers. Those are cool. Unless its just lowering the temperature... that is a lot less impressive.' He thought to himself. Still, Ryker smiled in a friendly way back to Cecil. "That certainly makes for an entrance." He would say casually. He would comment on Fran and wish Yuki luck at that point.
Which brought him back to Yuki's own comments... something about the whirlwind and purity of love and that her heart only beats for one. 'Damn, she was beautiful. Whoever she is into is a lucky guy... or girl.' He silently thought to himself in slight disappointment. Beautiful eyes and a nice body... the best ones were almost always taken unfortunately. Though he internally smiled as an idea of mischief crept into his mind that had come with just a causal look to her figure. 'Hers must be decently sized...' He thought to himself as whoever's team she was on, if any, skyrocketed on his list of targets. He would definitely have to follow up and meet with her in the future. As he was thinking of that he was brought out of his thoughts as she mentioned most people found them to be strange. 'How could anyone find them to be strange? Multi colored eyes are so cool and beautiful.' He thought to himself, though he was glad she seemed to like his comment. She would then mention how she knew everyone else's name but his as he smiled in response. "Sorry about that. The names Ryker." He would calmly say though rubbing the back of his head a little. In all the excitement of so many people he had forgotten to introduce himself to her.
However, very soon after the introduction Fran took the initiative to steal Yuki away for herself in her training. Ryker had noticed how she was with girls; he had no illusion to her true motive. 'Damnit! You win this round Fran. So freaking lucky you got her as your partner.' He silently thought to himself, though both were taken from what he heard. The world was a cruel place to make almost every beautiful girl taken. 'Though if thats the case would the standard of beauty have changed...? Don't want to think of it.' He ended that line of thought quickly. It was way too complex for his mind. And too time consuming. He would have to get to know more about her some other time. He would wave as they departed, but said little else. It was around then that Niko seemed to address him as his attention would turn to the candy giving man. He was asking if he was new, or making sure, and then asking how he got on a team and about some sort of evaluation. Ryker gave him a slightly confused look as he responded. "Yea, only been here a little bit but I do have a team. I don't think there is an evaluation for that? At least the only one I had was to get into this school. I happened to have a team already on my first day, so I think they do it in the background and let you know." He answered to the best of his ability, though he truly didn't know if there was anything else that needed to be done. He would then look back to Azura. "Seeing as Fran and Yuki already left for training, should we get going as well?" He would ask and leave it up to her for what she wanted to do. He was fine with having others if she wanted, but from what he understood of the training it was a one on one type of deal. Though if they left, Cecil could hang with the new guy and explain things to him at least.
Cecil watched as everything happened so fast, the ladies had been paired up and with a muttering comment from Fran as Cecil noticed where she was looking, they left. Oh how he wished he didn't get a nickname from the Cotton-candy girl while the female who introduced herself as Yukino began to speak about love and passion before she was promptly dragged away. Thankfully they were gone before he could gain a migraine as he looked to the two remaining males and his beloved as Azura began to be polite back to her usual self, saying her farewells to the ones leaving and introducing them both as one half of Team Dark. He simply nodded his head as he soon said, "We'll have to introduce you to the remainder of our team." He stated politely with a simple smile before he heard the compliment from the soldier boy. "I see, don't know how many Atlesian beings I've met, but I've already made an Albino Milk Tankard more angry than me on our first meeting, so this is much more pleasant." He looked to the trackstar as he began to speak as he simply nodded his head with a small... 'Mm-hmm.' It does make for an interesting entrance and soon enough, he finally introduced himself as Ryker to the soldier man.
Soon enough, the soldier named Nikolas began to speak and ask the questions concerning the team and his own team. Ryker tried to explain, but gave a rather inefficient answer so it was up to Cecil to explain. "To be honest, there is no paperwork really to be done to be put on a team, unless its for specific party members. Team Dark isn't necessarilly the original name of our team as we had another party member with us before our new ally replaced them." He explained at first before he cleared his throat to continue. "Furthermore, you will be randomly assigned a team if you are without one, but that is also done with a small bit of an evaluation to properly set you up with one. As for the rest of Team Dark, we are currently split up as one of our members went unconscious due to a small plague that swept through all of Vale. Our other party member is with her as we speak just waiting for her to wake up."

Azura Knight Azura wasn't totally sure what to think about Yuki, as she went into a passionate speech about love. She certainly hoped that whoever her heart belonged to shared that passion and wondered if they also attended Beacon. However, she was also a bit put off by it, likely due to her experiences with Tessa who seemed to only be at Beacon to find herself a mate. This was a combat school. They were here to learn how to fight Grimm. To stop Vale from being overrun like the rest of the world and recover what was lost. She often found herself frustrated by how many of her classmates seemed more interested in relationships and drama than what was happening out there. Sure, it was easy to forget while they were safe inside the walls, but still...Azura sighed slightly and gave herself a little headshake. Perhaps she was being too judgmental, and Yuki seemed friendly enough.
Oh, he's from Atlas. A wave of sympathetic sorrow filled her for the loss of Nikolas Chernyy's homelands to the Grimm. Had his family made the migration? How many of his former friends had he lost contact with, not knowing if they had made the crossing or perished in the fall in Atlas? The not knowing was something Azura had experience with, never knowing if a letter received from her parents might the last, while the receiving of them was often months apart. Yet, despite losing his homeland Mr. Chernyy had seemed to have maintained a positive attitude about it all. If Azura had been less socially anxious she might have offered a word of condolences or offered support in some way, but if their positions had been reversed she would have preferred people didn't comment about it. Especially near total strangers, so she decided not to say anything. Besides she had spent so long in her own musing that conversation had largely moved on without her to Nikolas asking about teams and Cecil bringing up Tessa.
"Ah, if you run into a seven-foot-tall Rihno I suggest not insulting her and to be on your guard. She's rather emotional and has a habit of man-handling and grabbing people when she's not throwing things or shooting her grenades at them." Azura typically tried to avoid gossiping about her fellow students, but she felt it was only fair she warned them about Tessa. After all the Rihno had sent her own teammate to the infirmary by carelessly firing her grenade launcher at the Grimm Koryn was flying next to. Certainly a person you needed to be on guard around. Azura nodded along to what Cecil was saying about teams. "You'll get a message on your scroll once they find 3 other students to pair you with. Unfortunately, the teams are less stable than one would hope. Our original fourth member was a pop star who dropped out after the first day of classes, but Adam has made an excellent replacement. Other teams have shifted around due to dropouts, personality clashes, and most unfortunately death." Azura had a guess as to why Tessa was suddenly on a different team, but after Koryn she wasn't sure how much longer she would be on her new team.
However, Ryker brought up a good point. They were supposed to be training together, though she wasn't sure how she felt about leaving the group and getting Ryker's full attention once more. She had just found her equilibrium again. Of course, she was far to polite to say so out loud. "I suppose we should complete our extra credit." She agreed with a little uncertainty. "Cecil, would you mind showing Mr. Chernyy around while we complete our assignment?"

There were many things that the man needed to do, but the object of perfection was one that was also lazy. The caramel skinned god of the land wasn't exactly the one who was the most motivated. Awakening in his tree, he would look down looking at his little friend who still had growing to do. "Cere-baby? You okay" he questioned lazily, a small smile creeping onto his lips. The animal looked up towards Hades and let out a soft growl. The kitty that was black in color and had red streaks. Okay, maybe it wasn't exactly a kitty. It was still small and not at it's peak weight or height but it wasn't exactly a house cat. Seeing she wasn't in the mood to move, he would just chuckle before finally sitting up on the branch. The almighty Hades would stretch far and wide before hopping down from the tree. Hiss semblance showing no one was around. Good. "Alrighty Cereby. I'll be back. Going to go see what this...Academy is all about. " with that, a final pet occurred before he left her there and went out from the outskirts towards the city.
The travel to the city didn't take long at all. It helps when your weapon is also a pair of skates. The bloody armor on his feet roared as the serated wheels pierced the land propelling him towards his goal at a maximum of 30 mph. He was an interesting loner. He wasn't exactly a good person or a bad person. He basically was a person who made sure his best interests came first and others came after. So, what was his goal for the Academy? What. motivated him to go and want to visit a place that was training new huntsmen? That, was still unknown. Maybe he was looking for a cutey? Maybe he was looking for a fight? Or was there something more? Maybe he was winging it? At the very least, spreading his existence around and showing these new huntsmen who they should look to? Who they should love?! Who they should admire! Introduce them to their true idol?!
I told my monsters spray. Go slide through there okay? No torso aim at face. Nobody safe okay?
Beacon Academy! He had finally arrived. His skates would transform. The bloody armor changing to unarmed mode as the wheels disappeared into the base of the shoes, the serated wheels closed to a perfect circle. The spikes collapsing down to the illusion of regular, weirdly stylish shoes. Making it through the gates, he stuck out for many reasons. The main two reasons was because he wasn't in uniform and he was tall as ********, but it wasn't like he was trying to be sneaky anyways. He was bad at it anyways. As he garnered stares from some of the students, some in admiration and most others in curiosity, he played into it with poses and waves to the confused populace. Adjusting his red vest, he would hear his stomach growl and let out a deep sigh. Why was he hungry?! Why now? He was just starting to gain new followers. Maybe. Cruising through the courtyard, he wondered what could come his way.
MMMMMM~ Beacon academy! Let the games begin
