Welcome to Beacon: Next 2.0

Isabelle swallowed some more food before answering the young Jade, her eyes on the new weapon sitting by her plate.

"Amberley's gone. All my work...uncle Pius' work...just up and left."

Marvin's smile disappeared as he looked to the weapon and then back to Isabelle. "Shit...any idea where they went? Or why?" He asked, obviously concerned for his friend.

Party Singing

Selene smiled as she stopped singing, letting her achievements sink in. Unfortunately, as she thought more and more about how she just successfully sang so brilliantly in public, her face began to grow red again, as she dropped the mike and went into the fetal position on stage.

Isabelle made a sputtering noise as she shrugged, throwing up her hands in the air before letting them back down.

"Well, n-no! If I did, I would've found them or brought 'em back to me. But the tracking programs turned off and I can't turn 'em back on for some dumbass reason." She sighed. "I'm sorry, Marv. I'm killing the mood for you, aren't I?"

The snake faunus shook his head no. "You're not, I'm the one who asked the stupid question, sorry. Can you think of anyway we might be able to track them down?"

The Nobel shrugged in reply. "I dunno. Would Amberley and Inquisitor even have a scent now?"

Amethyst got up and shook Zhi's hand. "Pleasure to meet you Zhi. Amethyst Irving-Hood. Most call me Amy. So you're my new partner?"

Party

Scarlet let out a sigh that was halfway between exasperation and pity when she saw her friend lose it on stage. The biker went over and scooped up Selene, bringing the catgirl back and placing her on the seat next to the biker. The red head gently rubbed Selene's back. "Umm....there, there.....You're fine? Uh....better luck not freaking out....next time?"

Dust, I suck at this.

Party

Selene just kind of rocked back and forth slightly before looking up at Scarlet with wide eyes and a flushed face. "Meep." She let out softly as she just kind of stared blankly.

Party

Scarlet blinked back. Oh...okay...crap...how do I do this? "Um...you're safe now?" The biker offered up weakly. Do I give her pets? Is that racist? Dust, there's a whole extra set of issues for me to worry about there. And I'm already awful at comforting people. Um, hugs. Hugs are safe.

The issue decided, Scarlet nodded internally and pulled her teammate into a gentle hug.

Party

As Scarlet hugged Selene, the cat faunus just kind of snuggled into it, ears twitching slightly and tail curling contently. "You smell nice." She said dazedly before starting to snore, indicating that she had fallen asleep. Though, she would probably only be out for a few minutes...

Party

Scarlet froze momentarily before cuddling Selene a bit more. Great, My crush is sleeping on me and cuddling, while I'm still basking. If there is a god or goddess, they hate me. The biker lifted a hand to the sky and flipped it off.

"Yeah, fuck you guys too." She mumbled before going back to cuddling the catgirl. Yeah, I'll just have to live with it I guess. You better appreciate me bailing your ass out, Cat

Party

The sleeping catgirl would shift slight in Scarlet's embrace, smiling happily as her tail started to flick back and forth. Finally her eyes opened partially as she lifted her head up, and with a mutter of what sounded like "Thanks Scarlet," the young noble pressed her lips against the biker's. It was of course,at this moment that Selene opened her eyes completely, vibrant violet feline eyes staring at the face so close. She swiftly pulled away, her face an even deeper crimson than it had been all night. "I'm so sorry! I thought I was still dreaming and... Oh fucking dustmonkies..."

Party

Scarlet's eyes lit up in amusement among other things. Wrong thing to say, Cat. "So...if I'm understanding what you're saying to me right now, you have dreams about me." She said, her smile widening as she spoke. "Dreams that you kiss me in, and like it."

Party

Selene froze in place as she processed what just happened, and how much she had slipped up. "Er... I guess you could say... Umm... Yes..." She looked away slightly, trying to avert her gaze from Scarlet. "Must seem a bit weird, I know... I just... Wait are you... Happy? Cuz you seem to be... Oddly satisfied with this revelation."

Party

Scarlet leaned forward a bit and rested her chin on one of her hands. "Don't I though? It's almost like someone I have a crush on just admitted to having dreams about me without being a total creeper about it." She paused. "Obviously the second part is not something that has been happening often."

Party

Raggy grunted a little when Halle offered a fistbump and returned it after a moment. "That said, let the dead rest in peace. No need to belittle them." He spoke, clearly uncomfortable about the matter.

Thankfully, The Selene Matter has been resolved by Scarlet fairly quickly, even if they did end up kissing. Accident, most likely, but the latter didn't seem to mind.

I imagine Marvin won't mind either.

Meanwhile Lena had finally chosen the song to sing, smiling frankly smugly. Oh, this will be good. She has this in a bag.

And so, she began singing, her voice powerful and resonating as she got into it, completely focused on the song. Although the piece might have seemed a little too heavy for a karaoke, the way Lena sung it seemed just right.

Party

Selene was behaving in such a flustered manner by now that one would most likely have trouble attempting to distinguish her from her sister. "Y-yeah I guess that doesn't normally happen... Definitely reason to be happy... Wait did you say crush? As in... You... L-like me too?"

Party

Scaret rolled her eyes. "Yes, dummy, I like you." She teased lightly. "I like you as a person and...well if I'm being honest, our team is the absolute prettiest team in Beacon. So that definitely doesn't hurt. In fact I'd go so far as to call it a side benefit."

CHOCOLATE!

"Yeah." Samuel suddenly remembered this thing called "politeness". "Thanks for the chocolate, Dia."

"Thinking I'mma head up to the karaoke stand soon, but I'm having trouble figuring out a song to sing..."

James thought he'd managed to sneak off undetected. Halle grabbing his shoulder quickly put an end to that line of thinking. And while Suzune was around...but...

"W-Well, t-technically, you a-are a machine, but still a h-hunter and capable of h-human thought...s-so I would s-say they'd either w-write you o-off as defective, t-try to dismantle you...o-or in some cases, p-probably draft y-you into a robot army. T-The same would l-likely apply to M-Miss Suzune..." The human quietly remarked.

Of course, when asked for his opinion on nobles, James bristled. "...it...sort of depends on the kingdom or city you l-live in. ...Some...actually have t-the people's interests at heart. Others can either be indifferent or outright...corrupt. I've heard rumors of one place in particular, actually..."

Party

Selene kind of broke out into a silly grin as Scarlet teased her, before full on glomping her. "Well that's good to hear!" She paused for a moment. "But wait, what about Marvin?"

Party:Operation SFF

Listening to his friends sing on stage Johann yawned, he was impressed sure, but this wasn't the kind of music for a party, we they needed something happy and upbeat not emotional and quiet. Suddenly, he got an idea and immediately walked towards Yanmin excitedly, and with a huge grin on his face. "Hey you mind doing the thing we practiced a few times on the stage there? It'll be cool as fuck, and hopefully our guests will have some fun instead of those incredibly emotional songs those two went with, we just need to find the costumes"

Party

Scarlet was blindsided and visibly paled in shock. "Wai-Whaddya mean......What about Marvin." She squeaked out. The biker poked the other girl gently in the ribs. "T-there's nothing happening there."

Party

"Oh? All of a sudden you're being shy~" Selene said, her turn to tease Scarlet. She giggled a bit at the poking of the ribs, before pulling back a bit. "Aight what's goin on with you? Is it me now, or something else?"
