Welcome to Beacon: Next (RP Thread)

Dia quietly responded to Scarlet. Seeing that her teammate wasn't in the best of moods, Dia tried to keep it quiet. "You have a point there. I can't help but imagine what those Grimm would do when they see any visitors...

Dia's then started imagining that creature from her nightmare banging against the glass to reach its prey, attempting and succeeding to escape its glassy prison. ( Oh dear oh dear please don't let that happen.)

"I mean, shit, we could probably take anything some crazy bastard managed to take alive," Rokoko said, "But it'll gobble up any poor sob without an active aura or a weapon."

Closing his book and finally deciding to speak up, James sighed.

"L-Look, let's just...all a-agree whoever t-thought of the i-idea of a G-Grimm Aquarium was an...i-idiot and leave it a-at that...?"

Glancing at Lena in a sour mood, Selene sulking and Dia looking anxious, he rummaged through his backpack and held up three boxes, surprisingly accurate as he tossed them to the trio of girls...and just fell out of his chair when he lost his balance.

"..."

Dia caught the box that James threw at her. She knew what it was- chocolate, one of her favourite snacks.

"Thanks, James... I agree with what you-"

However, she'd have to open it a bit later, as she saw that Croire had fallen out of his chair. She offered to help him up as she was sitting rather nearby, and spoke in a tone that carried a hint of worry and concern.

"Are you okay... James?"

Dia extended her hand to help James up.

"Well, maybe they got those failsafe thingies in case of breakouts, so I ain't worried," Gage turned away from his window to lean back in his seat.

"On the bright side, I know a place a couple of blocks away from there that does a great seafood platter."

Blushing and getting helped to his feet, he couldn't meet Dia's gaze and shyly glanced to the side. "I-I'm q-quite alright, I just...l-lost my balance, is all." He sheepishly replied, looking a bit embarrassed.

Of course, with Gage speaking up, he just smiled a little. "S-Seafood, huh...? Would actually b-be an interesting change to see what i-it's like..."

Dia had felt a bit better after helping James up, smiling at him. I'm doing this for you as a friend, James. Thanks for the chocolates, by the way.

Dia's curiosity then peaked when she heard Gage talk about a seafood place. She had never been out and around to those kind of places thanks to her family's safety measures. "I'd... love to try out a new place like that, Gage."

Lena almost didn't catch the box of chocolates that James threw at her.

Fumbling slightly, the girl managed to catch the box. Lena then walked up to James and helped get him up.

She gave him a genuine smile, and a sisterly peck on the cheek.

"Heh. Thanks for cheering Sis up, Jimmy. You're sweet."

Lena sighed. "How I wish my actual brother was more like you..."

She then noticed Dia and paused. She looked...familiar. Right, definitely a noble.

"Hey...have we met before? You're a noble, aren't you?"

Just going even redder thanks to both Dia smiling and Lena's actions, partially from shyness...and then from embarrassment as she seemed to be getting on the bandwagon of calling him the wrong name.

"W-W-Well, I'm sure h-he's...well...o-okay, maybe h-he could try a b-bit harder to b-be a brother instead of focusing on...s-science..." He muttered, looking a bit flustered.

Of course, when Lena asked if Dia was a noble, James flinched, looking a bit uneasy before composing himself. ...Seemed like he'd at least gotten a bit better reaction-wise.

Dia was surprised about Relena's comment. "Yes, I am a noble from the Rayfer family, your Highness... I'm not sure if we've met before, though..."

(Oh my, she knows me?)

Dia had been to many functions before thanks to her mother and father, back when she had blonde hair. Understandably, she was not allowed to roam about too much as a child and had to stick close to her parents.

She might have caught a glimpse of Relena before during one of those functions. "...but I might have seen you before."

The Rayfer family was actually more well-known for appearing in the newspaper. Headlines of a Rayfer girl with long, untied blonde hair getting kidnapped on the front page.

(I hope she doesn't recognize this...)

Dia's hair is actually blonde, she uses crystal powder to make it look green.

Fe grumbles at first form Dia moving. Then upon seeing Lena give James a kiss just furthered her annoyance.

Lena firmly but gently tapped James on the head. "Shush, just take the compliment. What do I keep saying about self-confidence?"

She looked at Dia again and frowned. She really did look familiar....

She shrugged, deciding that it wasn't really important.

"Eh, it's no big deal. And you don't have to be so formal with me. In fact..."

She held out her hand to shake. "Call me Lena. Good to meet you....?"

For a second, James pouted before shaking his head. "...the compliment...that's not the problem, Len...Sis." The blue-haired youth grumbled, looking to the side and spotting Fe.

"...and what's...annoying you, Fe...?"

Dia smiled as she responded to Lena's kind gesture by shaking Lena's hand. Most of her worry had disappeared. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lena... You can call me Dia."

(OMG! I get to meet up with actual royalty! This is so awesome!)

Dia then turns to the rather upset Fe and asks her in a concerned tone, most of her smile fading. What's wrong, Fe? You seem upset..."

"Hm...?"

Meanwhile, Quartz glanced around, idly listening to the conversations nearby; The topics of royalty and Grimm in activity weren't really thing he could contribute on, but he listened regardless, glancing at the others nearby.

"N-nothing", She huffed.

Before

"Don't we want that both?" He replied teasingly, taking Lena's hands into his, a small smile on his lips.

Smiling at the interactions between friends and classmates he glanced at Fe curiously. Although himself mostly ignorant, he was a pretty keen observer, able to spot things that seemed out of place.

"If I were to hazard a guess..." His smile widened into a full grin. I'd say that possessiveness plays no small role in this." He chuckled as he looked at the faunus. Despite the words used it didn't seem like Raggy wanted to hurt her, but rather merely tease her a little. He was in such situation himself before.

"S-So that's w-what it is...?" James questioned, looking at Ragna, a bit surprised and looking back at Fe, about to say something on the subject, but biting his lip.

Although with Quartz speaking up, the human glanced over at the dragon faunus. "D-Do you have a q-question...?"

Before

"....You bet your sexy arse I want you." Lena blurted out without thinking when Raggy held her hands.

.....And then she realized what she said. Blushing bright red, face burning, she turned away.

"I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!"

Now

Lena smiled. "Nice to meet you, Dia. Let's be friends."

And then the issue with Fe happened, and Raggy offered his input.

As her boyfriend spoke, a wide grin appeared on her face. The princess promptly started cackling like...well, a mad scientist (so basically, she was acting like her brother).

"Holy shiznit, James! Another one!"

"You ladykiller!'

It didn't surprise Gage, the casual reference to Dia's lineage. From her polished manner to a weapon few people would have had access to, it was clear his green-haired team mate came from someplace with plenty of money.

Not that he was prejudiced against that stuff. You had money or you didn't. Might as well make use of it if you did.

But that was a problem for another day. Seeing Fe's new huffiness and James' apparent need to pry, that was the new problem. So, Gage elbowed James' side sharply. If it prompted him to face the delinquent with the green bandanna, he shook his head subtly.

Don't ask just yet, he wanted to say.

"I, hm, not really sure what to add, is all." Quartz replied with a shrug.

"Is not look of like I can be helps with anything either, so..."

Dia replied to Lena's friendship comment with a smile. "It is an honor to do so indeed."

Dia was overhearing the conversation, and realized what had happened. Fe was... kinda attracted to James. Hence the fox Faunus' disappointment at Dia and Lena reaching James to help him up.

From Lena's laughing comment, Dia had also realized that James had the ability to attract girls via his cuteness.

Both for these developments caused Dia to chuckle a bit. She wasn't hiding it very well.

( So James scores another unknowingly!)

Watching from her seat not too far from where the commotion was happening, Iris let out a small laugh at how James accidentally romanced another woman. It was quite the sight. And it looked like Dia was hitting it off well with the princess too.

"G-good to see that e-everyone's getting along well...", Iris said.

Lena's outburst just caused him to going bright red and just look flustered. "...I-I-I think you're g-getting the wrong i-idea completely, S-Sis. S-Stop...j-jumping to conclusions, i-it's only been t-two days anyway."

Anxiously glancing the side and trying to ignore everything, with Quartz looking confused, he tried to smile. "W-W-Well, t-the topic is k-kind of, y-you know, e-everything's been kind of s-said, really...and y-yes, I suppose you could s-say that, Miss Iris..."

About to comment and say something, Gage elbow to the side caused him to shut up, glance in his direction and get the hint pretty quickly.

Though now it just made Gage plant his elbows on his knees and to lean forward to rest his chin his steepled fingers. "Though I wish I had your luck," he murmured as he noted his leader's luck with women.
