Welcome to Beacon: Next 2.0

14 Umbra Morning

Ragnaros Remington was famously not a morning person.

The whippet figure shuffled down the stairs in nothing but loose sleeping pants, his normally disheveled hair now in even worse states of disorder, despite the assumption that such a thing would be impossible. He only had one eye open and even that just barely as he acknowledged the presences of people present with half-assed waves and mumbles. At the very least he was providing a nice spectacle for anyone interested.

His nose caught the smell of caffeine. "...gimme..." He groaned out, slowly shuffling over towards Scarlet more akin to a zombie than anything else.

Monday morning

"Oh well I suppose not everything can go righ-" Scarlet's conversation with her partner was cut off by the appearance of their half-naked leader.

"Hey, no, back, mine." Scarlet replied placing a hand on Raggy's chest to help ward off his zombie like grasping. "Go get your own, Boss. And put some clothes on while you're at it, you're gonna make the shy crew blush." She said between small fits of giggles.

Morning

As Miss Rayfer waited for her waffles, she noticed the mostly-undressed Remington enter the kitchen.

"Good morning... Please Put Some Clothes On, Raggy?"

Dia wasn't blushing or embarrassed at the sight per se, but it was her upbringing that taught her that... it wasn't very polite to go around half naked in sleeping pants in the morning.

Morning - Raggy Wants Caffeine

"Mrgphg..." A non-commital grunt was his only answer as he tried to grab at her energy drink a few more times before finally pulling away.

He looked over at Dia, tilting his head a little bit. "I'm not naked." He mumbled as he cruised away to the coffee maker.

Another Morning

Cerise got out of the shower and returned to her dorm room with a towel wrapped around her. Since she'd shown up to Beacon with nothing but her battle costume to wear, she'd spent the last of the money from their night venture into gang territory on (some seriously cheap) clothes, and "borrowed" the rest from her dorm room. She changed into a shirt and shorts, brushed her hair to immaculacy, and headed out of the room barefoot with the scent of breakfast on her nose.

Not even a minute later, Cerise stepped out from the hallway into the kitchen and threw up her hands excitedly. She announced, loudly:

"Who's making breakfast!"

Cerise strode towards the kitchen counter, seemingly looking for the coffee maker but her eyes actually fixated on something else. She promptly tripped. Or perhaps she'd meant to fall. Her hand still stretched out in the air, she grasped for something to hold her up, and instead grabbed the back of Raggy's pants and tugged. She landed flat on the ground with a thud and went suspiciously quiet.

Morning

And this was when Cerise came in. Her loud shout of a question about breakfast was greeted with a polite and formal "Good morning, Cerise." from Dia.

The green-haired girl looked back at Iris who was still preparing waffles, before turning to look at James. Ah, there he was. She would join the cute boy at the table after she got her food. And there was Raggy...

...having his pants pulled down by Cerise.

"......please put some clothes on, Raggy?" Dia says in a pretty calm tone, even though she's clearly blushing, getting flustered, and trying to hold her embarrassment back in. All with a straight face.

Inside Dia's mind was a completely different story.

(OH MY GOSH HE IS NAKED I CAN SEE HIS- WHY!? WHY!? WAS THAT ON PURPOSE CERISE!?)

She'd also try to position herself in a way to obscure Iris' view of Raggy such that she wouldn't have to see that... scene.

Kitchen.

Taking another swig from his caffeinated flavored-milk flask, the young man couldn't help but blink at what was going on, face burning slightly from the silver-haired...'idiot' and his probably perverted team-mate who was sent crashing onto the floor.

...Running on three hours of sleep and putting up with this sort of nonsense. You hum-

...P-Please be quiet...

Giving a slight sigh and adjusting his goggles, James wiggled out of his tattered and torn jacket and adjusted his tie before tossing it at Ragna. Or at least tried. His backup flask soon followed.

"...I-I'd only d-drink a cup full i-if I was you. A-Any more and you m-might...um, w-well, unless you c-can handle concentrated c-caffeine and chocolate, you...p-probably...may...e-end up like t-that one time Miss M-Mint got her h-hands on that stash of candy I-I had lying around."

A yawn escaped Claude's mouth, as he slowly climbed up from his bed. He, occasionally, looked around, seemingly searching something abstract.

"Hm... no coffee monster... it was just a bad dream I guess."

Letting out another yawn, the young man soon rose up to his feet and adopted a primal stance, seemingly attempting to knuckle walk his way into the kitchen, a failure, naturally : Claude ends up with his face on the floor, leaving some marks on his handsome face.

"Curse my teeny-tidy arms !"

Picking himself up (and slapping himself up afterwards, to accelerate the whole "wake up and stop looking like a walking corpse" part of the morning), our young friend quickly made his way into the kitchen, a bit more alert to things in general.

"Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy..."

Allowing him to witness the current happening, like, a front-seat, man.

"Yyyyyyyyyeeeeehhhhhh... wait, what the fu-"

Kitchen, Morning

Sky had just out down his glass of orange juice, wiping his mouth with his forearm when Claude came in. He nods at his teammate.

And then that one guy wearing nothing but a pair of pants has them pulled down by that girl who tripped over...or fell intentionally. Sky's shot wide open, a look of shock and horror on his face.

Wh-WHAT IN THE NAME OF DUST?!

A dark smoke escaped from his eyes as he felt the desire to be anywhere else at that moment. And his Semblance complied.

THUMP

For the second time in less than a week, Sky's head got to know the wall quite intimately for a brief kiss, and his back embraced the floor once again. This time though, he just lies there, dazed.

"Uuuuuuhhhh..."

Monday, Umbra 14 - Dorm Sakura, Kitchen-Dining Area, Beacon, Vale

"Nekkid Mondays are on the last week of the month. Also, I didn't know that someone listened. Full points for heart, Rags."

Gage stepped in, clad in the Beacon uniform and loosening his tie to the proper way that annoyed all right-thinking people. It was a known fact that more so than locks or authority, anything resembling formal clothing was a VPS student's archnemesis.

He stepped lightly around the mess, almost dancer-like in his movements as he spun towards the huge array of breakfast food.

Monday, Umbra 14, Morning

The faint feeling of a breeze was unmistakable.

He has been undressed. Nothing quite wakes you up from an after-sleep daze like caffeine and public humiliation, after all. Feeling the redness assault his cheeks, Raggy slowly, very slowly reached for his pants and pulled them back up again.

After a moment of pregnant silence consisting solely of him standing there, the grayhair stiffly picked up James' canteen and took a sip. After feeling the infernal mix hit him and remove any remains of his after-sleep exhaustion he put it on the counter and equally stiffly turned on his heel. From there he marched forward back whence he came, mostly to get a shower and get dressed.

Really, not being able to just eat breakfast in peace was quite a grating thing.

Monday morning

Scarlet turned and gave Raggy a long, appreciative look when his pants fell before turning back to Marvin when the situation resolved itself. "Well, never a dull morning here. Anyway, I'm just glad we didn't have any homework due today, it's always nice when I can spend the weekend focused on other things."

Another Morning

Cerise popped up into a standing position before anyone noticed. Cerise pressed her fist against her head and stuck her tongue out cutely.

"Oops! My bad!" she said. "Total accident, you know. I'm such a klutz,"—she really wasn't, judging by her coordination in battle—"But it didn't seem like you had anything you really needed to hide, anyway."

Cerise walked over to the coffee maker.

New Day

A cloud of malignancy enters the kitchen. It scoots over to the coffee maker, pausing only to comment, "Huh," as it passes by the pants fiasco.

Umbra 14th

"Y-you actually look nice i-in that spare body, S-Suzy.", Iris replied before turning to answer Dia. "S-sure, I'll get you s-some..."

And then she saw Raggy with his pants down for a second.

"I-I think I've just s-seen wonders...", she commented while handing Dia her plate of waffles.

Morning

"Thanks, Iris." Dia made a small smile as she warmly replied to the bird Faunus.

Dia was thankful that James had provided Raggy with something to cover himself with. Her blushing lessened... and then she heard Iris' comment. Dia... hadn't expected the shy Aurion to say that.

(Oh my gosh Iris... =O)

And saw Sky's reaction.

(Well, that should be over, thanks Jam-oh dear.)

Having obtained her food, Dia ran over to her team's table near James to place her plate and coffee, making a small smile to show her thanks at the boy, before attempting to help Sky up. Her face was straight but her tone was formal and friendly, with a small hint of prideful noble attitude in the first half of the sentence, but great concern in the second. "I am not sure how that happened but... are you ok?"

Meanwhile, Dia glanced at Gage and his "tie adjustment". She just sighed a bit and shot an annoyed look for a short while. It would have been longer if she didn't know that this was Gage being Gage.

"Sky, walls have feelings too. Stop ramming into them." says Claude, as he try to erase whatever he just saw from his memories, ever, helping up his teammate while doing so (and thankfully nodding at Dia).

"Sup, leader." he says, seemingly more alert now, before moving on to get his usual breakfast, staying oddly silent while doing so : he does smiles at his fellow students, nodding as a greeting sign before moving on to eat.

He's... fairly noisy while eating, unfortunately. And does not talk, seemingly fixated on getting his food. He also constantly glare at a nearby coffee mug, as if it was a Grim or something equally devious.

As for his clothing, he's basically wearing a white tank top with white shorts, simply enough, his loyal beanie sitting atop his head.

Monday Morning.

...The week had barely started and already things were getting a little ridiculous. Well, for everyone else at least. He couldn't help but give a slight, if amused chuckle at Ragna's reaction before taking back the flask he'd left on the table as the young man raised an eyebrow at his team-mate.

"...I-I guess it c-could've been worse. Just, um, n-nevermind." He shook his head and glanced around the room, blinking in surprise at Suzune. "T-That's...a p-pretty impressive u-upgrade you've got yourself t-there...um, mind g-going over the s-specs a little later i-if you've got some time...?"

Adjusting his goggles and stretching his once injured arm, he gave a curt nod back at Dia before quietly going back to writing down some notes in the book he'd brought along with him.

Morning

A hand emerges from the black cloud, which, on closer examination, is just Vestia's massive bedhead. The hand grips a mug of coffee, then withdraws. From within the cloud of hair, there is the sound of gulping, then a voice.

"Sky. Do we need to schedule extracurricular Semblance training."

Umbra 14, Main Floor

When Cerise tripped and gave everyone an interesting flash of Raggy, Isabelle immediately put her hands over Suzune's eyes until Raggy pulled up his pants. However, she found Cerise's comment more like rubbing salt on a social wound as Raggy left the scene.

"Were you and I even looking at the same thing?" Isabelle asked the cat Faunus with a glower, despite the fact that her question revealed that she did take quite a look while Raggy was exposed.

Dorm-Night

Marvin knew he wasn't going to get anywhere further with her, so the snake faunus merely grunted and sat down on his bed. "Fine." He said with a sigh of resignation.

Despite this, he would damn well force himself onto whatever adventure she took part in next, whether she wanted him or not.

Dorm-Morning

Marvin had been about to speak when Cerise face-planted and Raggy made a demonstration of what he was packing. Trying not to stare too much, the pale snake faunus let out a low whistle of appreciation before snapping out of it. When Rags stormed off in shame, Marvin let out a sigh as he rubbed his temple, already exasperated this early in the morning. It was going to be a great day. "Well...I'll wake up Selene and ask her to check on him." he said with a sigh as he dialed the sleeping cat girl's number.

Dorm-night

"Is it really so wrong of me to want to make sure you guys are safe?" Scarlet asked.

"Because that is why I did this and didn't tell you guys. I mean, sure, I did this a lot before I met any of you but it was different this time, honest."

Monday morning

"Not a bad plan, better plan than us- you staring and drooling." Scarlet commented, hiding her face in breakfast as much as she could when she realized her slip.

Another Morning

"Did you just—did you just insult his manhood, Supergirl?" Cerise said. "Wow, that's low. I was giving a compliment."

Cerise turned around and sipped from a cup of coffee in her hand. She carried her coffee over to the scent of waffles, practically gliding across the kitchen and ending up behind Iris in a single smooth motion.

"Any for me?"

Kitchen-Morning

Sky was helped to his feet by Dia and Claude, his eyes spinning for a bit from the impact with the wall. He slurs a bit, a bit light-headed.

"I'm...fffffine...apart from trying to frrrget what I just saw...Don't worry, Vestia...I'm perrrrfffectly...in control...of myselfff, thank you..."

He weakly held his head, trying to stop the room from spinning out of focus. He truly hated how his Semblance activated of its own accord in situations like that, but really, he couldn't help it. He'd wanted to be anywhere but there, and it would've worked if he was outside, but in a closed room like the kitchen? No chance. At least he didn't bump into anything else on his collision course with the wall.

"I hate Mondays..."
