Welcome to Beacon: Next 2.0

TIMESKIP: Monday, Umbra 14th, 7:00 AM

Things had been quiet for the most part for the students following the assault on the CCT Tower (save for the little excursion some of the students went on overnight during the weekend), and all seemed well for our Huntsmen and Huntresses in training. Classes were scheduled at the regular times, but everyone had about two hours before their first class was to begin, enough time for them to get ready for the day, have breakfast, and do whatever else.

Iris walked downstairs in her pajamas with a few feathers falling from her wings as she moved, yawning as she stretched her arms out. She'd hoped today was going to be a normal day for them. She was wrong, horribly wrong...

Morning

Miss Rayfer was up pretty early, having bathed, and changed her clothes, while applying her green "hair dye" to her otherwise blonde hair. Saturday and Sunday were great days to have made new friends with.

(Saturday and Sunday was a great weekend, although Gage is gonna have to do some proper clarification on what exactly happened on Saturday!)

She walks down from her dorm in a formal manner, but not before waking up those in the dorm via a shake (if they're around). Her face was straight, as usual. "Good Morning. Time to get up."

Amethyst awoke that Monday tired. She had been up late studying for an exam. She hoped she didn't shoot herself in the foot by staying up too late. She hated Mondays, but especially testing Mondays. The weekend had the habit of draining most of what she'd learned last week.

She started to make herself a basic breakfast, however she managed to spill the orange juice when pouring herself a glass.

Meanwhile, Morgan was still fast asleep in their bedroom. Whether it was just her usual sleepiness or a late night weapon adjustment was unknown, only that she was mumbling something about chocolate.

Sorry for the short post, but I swear I'm going to keep up this time.

Dorm-Night

"Scarred as you may be, it doesn't change the fact that Rags and I still worry about you. Come on Red, we're supposed to be partners. Stuff like this makes me think you either don't trust me, or think I'm too weak to help." He said with a sigh. "Just...please. You know I'm going to worry. I can't stop you from going out like that, I know that much."

Dorm-Morning

Marvin sat at one of the tables near the kitchen, idly thumbing through the messages on his scroll, one of which was from his Brother, James, about how he had seen Scarlet the other night and was asking that he do what he could to help keep her off the streets and away from Police matters. Marvin sighed, knowing full well how that would go over.

Monday, Umbra 14 - CRCG Dorm, Beacon, Vale

Gage's body was fully covered by the standard issue bed sheets. Like a mound of gelatin, Dia's shake seemed to reverberate, continuing for a few seconds before he was revealed. Face still dozey with sleep, but with a bandanna once again in place. The orange one with the cobra pattern.

As of the moment, no one had yet to see what he looked like without his bandanna on. A strange preoccupation.

Mumbles, Gage rolled automatically out of bed and stumbled for the showers. At least he'd had the decency to be wearing a t-shirt to go with his pajama pants. Lately, Umbra mornings were too cold.

On a last thought, his foot lashed out in a sort of soft kick to one of the posts of Cerise's bed. By soft, which meant that it didn't bend the steel but did set things shaking.

Dorm-Night

Scarlet shrugged. "I'm sorry, partner. It's not either of those though. Like I just told you, I just didn't want you guys getting a target drawn on you. Hell, I went and did this because they hit us here at Beacon and you guys should be safe here if nowhere else."

Monday morning

Scarlet slowly sat up in bed. Dust, I hate mornings.

The redhead looked over at the hard drive she had gotten from her trip to Vale and then looked straight ahead to where Selene was still asleep. Scarlet smiled and walked over, planting a small kiss on the catgirl's forehead before going to take a shower.

This one ain't too bad.

"Ah, you're up, Gage. See you in the kitchen?"

Dia seemed to smile a bit at Gage, instead of her usual straight face. She adjusted Corona in belt form around her waist, put on her hair tie, checked if her bag of crystal parts was prepared, then headed out the door to the kitchen.

Umbra 14, a little past 7 AM

Isabelle had spent her lovely weekend indulging herself in either practicing with Aurea Virga or sleeping like the dead. Calmly cool blue eyes opened blearily as the rising sun's rays poked at her vision, and the young Nobel was forced to rub her eyes and blink to regain focus. Breathing in and exhaling deeply, she got out of bed with a groan as she stood up and stretched, feeling her muscles relax as she felt her blood flowing a bit faster to match the waking world.

"Mm...good morning, Beacon~" After moving through the bathroom to wash her face and smile at herself, Izzy moved downstairs and ruffled Iris' hair. "Morning, Iris!"

Umbra 8th; Duel O'Clock

Suzune took the blow to the midsection, the force of which was more then enough to start pushing the gynoid back, but she seemed not to care much about the blow itself, as she attempted to grab hold of him while he was close.

"Nice form, sorry about not being human"

If her grapple was sucessfull, Marvin would quickly find himself being stung by a mechanical stinger.

Monday, Umbra 14; 7:00am

A white haired fox faunus entered the dorm, hauling a crate behind her, she was looking down at the floor a bit, with a note in her hand, "How long is it going to take me to regret this decision", she asks herself uner her breath. She started a path to Isabelle and Iris, pausing half way, before shaking her head and continuing on.

"Hey Izzy, Iris, do either you know who I hand this too?" She asks, waving the note.

Monday, Umbra 14, Main Area of Dorm Sakura, like, near the Kitchen or something, we're hungry!

Isabelle looked up and saw a strange new girl hauling a crate into the dorm, asking her who to bring it to while addressing her and Iris by name. While she appeared to be a white fox Faunus, something just felt off about the way she carried herself to the icy-eyed Nobel. "Um, well, who's it for? And, uh, who are you...?"

Umbra 14th

"M-Morning, Izzy. Is Morgan s-still asleep upstairs?", Iris replied to her team leader, She was making waffles for them and anyone else who wanted some before noticing the fox Faunus.

"U-um, I'm not sure w-where that would go...w-what's in the box?", she said to the fox.

The faunus looks down at herself and then back up, "Oh right", she said under her breath before looking back up. "Its ummm me Suzune, I had mom make some modifications to Raiju, figured it was a good time after Marvin trashed it... but... it is no longer really fit to to be used outside of missions", there is a long pause and a sigh before she continues, "So she stuffed me into one of her spares, and this feels really really weird", when she finished with this she turned to Iris.

"Oh, ummm that would be Raiju, I still have it, it just... it consumes fuel way too fast for me to just walk around in it, along with various system stability issues that come from the reactor being overclocked and.... yea..."

Another Morning

Cerise slept at an odd angle, her pillow, one arm and one leg dangling over the edge of the bed. The bedsheets were only covering up to her legs, and the rest was covering the floor. Cerise wore only panties and someone else's slightly oversized shirt, hiked up to her belly and exposing her stomach. Drool pooled from the edge of her open mouth.

She sat up, rubbing her eyes and wiping her mouth. "Wuzzat?" she said. "Did we win?"

Cerise slowly climbed out of bed, running her hands through her bed-tousled purple hair, and shambled towards the showers. She subtly peeked in through the door of the boys' shower room as she passed by, then not-so-subtly peeked at the girls in the girls' shower room as she headed through it towards an open stall.

Umbra 14, near the Kitchen

Izzy's eyes seemed to light up in response to Suzune's reveal, and she rushed over to her partner with a grin. "Holy crap, you've got another chassis! It's so...lifelike...!" Understanding her friend's personal space, she refrained from moving in to feel exactly how realistic Suzune's body was.

Monday, Umbra 14; 7:00am

"That, that was one of her primary desing concerns on this one, when I say it is one of her spares, I mean HER spares, not mine, there kind of designed to mimic what she was..... which.... is why this is so akward." the gynoid replied, obviously a bit embaressed by this situation as she sways.

Night Time

"That's not..." Marvin took a moment to compose himself, he was getting frustrated and he needed to calm down. "That's not the point, Red. We're partners. Can we at least act like it? I want to be there with you next time you do something like this. As your partner." He said with a firm tone and hard eyes.

Umbra 8th - Duel

Marvin quickly pulled his hand back, mere moments before she would have grabbed him. "Hrrm. I guess I'll just need to strike harder then." He chipped in with a friendly smile, taking a brief moment to inspect his knuckles before darting back in, aiming several strikes at her right arm, more probing to see if she could feel it than anything.

Umbra 14, near the Kitchen (7 AM)

"Yeah, that's why I didn't recognize you at first..." Izzy replied with a chuckle and scratching the back of her head with a little embarrassment. "I was thinking, 'Why does that look like Suzy's mom? Pretty sure she's got no reason to come here,' but then your box threw me off. By the way, you haven't told us what's in it..."

Dorm-Night

Scarlet stared back evenly. "I appreciate the concern. I'm not letting you put yourself in danger on my behalf. Not if I can prevent it. I ain't perfect, but that doesn't mean I'm heartless enough to let you get in over your head."

Monday morning

"Morning." Scarlet greeted those in the kitchen in a light tone before heading over to the fridge and pulling out a terrifyingly sized energy drink. "Don't suppose any of our morning classes got canceled?" She asked, flopping down in one of the kitchen chairs, her hair still damp from the shower.

Monday, Umbra Duel O'Clock

Well Marvin when that one connects, you can hear something break, which causes Suzune to cringe but her look does not seem to be one of pain, more one of "I needed that!" as her right arm goes limp.

"Its.... A good thing I can turn sensors off" She calls out, while attempting to make a sweep with her left leg while he is close.

"Ummm, like I told Iris, thats Raiju, I still have it, its just the M3A1 version consumes way too much fuel for me to walk around in now, too many upgrades especialy jets so I could actualy fly like you guys increased power consumtion dramaticly" Suzune replied, before pausing a bit and resuming "Its not exactly something that can be fixed without iterating to the Mark 4 version"

Monday Morning, Umbra 14

Sky stirred lethargically from his sleep, groaning slightly. As per usual, he'd been up late, busy stargazing after having climbed onto the roof with the aid of his grappling hooks. A long time ago, he'd have woken up quite easily from a late night, just as easily as an early one. After all, he'd normally have been wide awake by now to...

Gah, don't think about that! I think I am getting rusty though...

He sat up, his black t-shirt hanging loosely around him. Getting out of bed, he did a few stretches to ease the stiffness in his muscles. After a quick hair-combing, he made his way down to the kitchen, getting himself a cup of orange juice and a slice of toast. A look of subtle surprise crosses his face as he sees someone pull out a giant energy drink.

It's...7 in the morning, and she's drinking that?

He shook his head in regards to her question.

"I wouldn't bet on it. It's a Monday. Nothing good ever happens on a Monday, right?"

A sudden moment of dawning realization hit him, and he cringed internally.

I'm going to have to do the dishes again with Team HAVC, don't I? Oh no...

A resigned sigh escaped him.

Morning

Dressed in pretty formal noble clothes, Miss Rayfer stepped into the kitchen formally, before greeting everyone in there with a friendly but straight-faced "Good Morning"

She would then see what's for breakfast. As probably the first one to be here since Gage and Cerise were probably getting ready, she decided to get herself some toast, used some hot water to make a cup of tea, and kindly requested a waffle from Iris. "Good morning Iris, I would love to have a waffle."

Monday morning

Rising from his bed, Duncan took a few minutes to fit in his morning stretches before marching over to the foot of each of his teammate's beds and shaking them violently. Once he was done, Duncan pulled out his scroll and marked two items off of his morning to-do list before hitting the showers.

Marching down to the kitchen after getting himself cleaned up, Duncan fell down into a chair and asked "What's on the menu this mornin'?"

Umbra 8th - Fight

Marvin couldn't help but pause in concern as he looked to Suzune. "Oh shit, you alri-" The Snake faunus cut off as he was knocked down by her sweep, his fast reflexes letting him get his hands beneath his body so that he could springboard back onto his feet. The Pale youth grinned once more as he dashed in close, attempting to take out her other arm with another solid blow.

Mondays

"No dice, Red." Marvin replied with a sigh as he slid over a plate of food he had prepared for her earlier. "Unless I missed that announcement as well."

Before.

"...T-To be perfectly honest, i-it's not really urgent, just r-running low on a few things b-by the looks of it and..." The youth blinked at Halle's sudden entrance before shrugging it off and regaining his composure. "...T-That won't really be too hard to accomplish...sure, w-we can pick up that too..."

Hands On Your Hips. ...Wait, it's a skip, not a jump.

The last few days had been mostly uneventful for James. ...Granted, the grocery shopping they'd eventually gotten around to doing was something, even if he had wandered off on his own for half an hour and returned with a bag he refused to discuss...and spent most of his evenings in the library rather than the infirmary.

And when the Monday morning had finally arrived, he was quietly sitting out of the way in the kitchen, drinking from his usual flask and slightly content he once more had some sort of semblance in terms of being able to use his injured arm.
