Welcome to Beacon: Ultimate 2.0

TREE

Jack couldn't help but let out a few bursts of his own, barking laugh at Alexia, before smiling at Pius as he hung back. "She's going to be a good queen." He said to Pius, "I merely responded in kind."

He walked back when he saw her. Long raven hair, pink dress-feminine figure. He whistled."Who's the hot piece of-Lucas." He whistled, walking over and kissing the young man on the lips-a quick peck. "You're beautiful Lucy." He said, smiling as he gave his team mate another peck on the cheek and wandered over to reach into the fire and grab another sausage, sitting on the log to watch the goings-on. "Well, I know what my next wet dream's going to be." He said jokingly.

ARENA

"Ready." Jack's voice said. He walked onto the arena, adjusting his mechanical arm. He gave her that wolfish-almost predatory smile that he always got when gearing up for a fight. He thought for a minute before opening a part of his arm and dropping several grenades before tossing them all to Pius-seemingly ignorant of the fact he was handling delicate explosives.. Look after these ref.." He smiled, slamming his fists together before bowing to Lexi. "Princess, Let's make our ancestors proud." He settled into a stance.

Wuv

For the first time in what felt like forever, Glen genuinely smiled. "Then it's settled. Would you prefer we wait until we get back tae civilization or do you want tae do somethin' out here in the wilderness?"

Campsite.

Falken couldn't help but grin as things started to unfold, with the reactions of his classmates being...well, he wasn't going to say that he'd anticipated this, at least not out loud as the green-haired guy quietly sneaked away from the pretty princess getting all of the attention.

...Hopefully, as his mind finally processed what all of this could result in...wouldn't...end poorly for him. Or Lucas, for that matter.

Casually sitting down a safe distance away, he just watched.

Morning:Around Glynda

Alfred yawned loudly as he got out of AGAT's tent, he stretched his arms up towards the sky.

The knowledge of Alexandros and all the arguements last night did not help Al's sleep and it showed. The bags under his eyes were darker than usual and his movements seemed to be more lax, done with less energy. He walked towards the gathering crowd of students around Glynda, picked up what she was handing and spoke slowly.

"Hey, what is this exactly Miss Goodwitch?"

Campfire

Umber accepted the bowl of stew and took a spoonful of beef and potato. Failing to account for temperature, she burned her tongue, yelped, and covered her mouth with her hand. Eyes watering, Umber stuffed the dry end of the bread into her mouth and took a bite.

"S-sorry! I'm a mess," she said. "I mean, I'm Umber, too! Sorry..."

Perfect time to crawl into a ditch.

For some reason, Ai didn't join Alexia at the campfire last night. In fact, she was gone for the rest of the night. That morning, Ai was seen organizing her stuff and then heading off to explore on her own.

Campire: Remus Late to the Party

Remus walked up to where the commotion from what was increasingly likely from his teammates so as to investigate. Finally coming to a stop in front of Lucas, his eyes widened. Looking Lucas up and down, he remained silent for a time, before finally speaking, as he bowed low. "I was not aware our school had been graced by two families of royalty. It is an honor, Princess Lucy." When he lifted up his head, the smartass smile adorning his lips all too apparent.

Morning

"Woah there, probably should watch where you're going." Remus said as he turned around to look at who had bumped into him.

Last Night: Campfire shenanigans

“Very funny, Remus,” Lucas said to his leader, a slight smirk betraying the fact that it seemed he was going along with the joke.

…Well, at least I know that I could easily disguise myself as a girl should the need arise, Lucas thought to himself, assessing his classmates' reaction to his change of outfit. But 'prettier than Alexia?' Do I really look that girlish?

His thoughts were interrupted, however, by Jack kissing him twice, to which his cheeks burning up again. To be frank his relationship with his closest friend was… complicated. They were certainly friends, that's for sure, but he wasn't sure if there was more than that. And he didn't know how to find out without scaring Carol in the process—

OH HOLY SHIT.

“…Lexi?” Lucas responded, his face growing pale as he realized that Lexi may have taken pictures of the kiss. “Please tell me you didn't send a pic of that to Carol…”

Today: Up and at ‘em!

Lucas, meanwhile, was at the edge of camp, practicing his swordfighting for a bit. While he was back to wearing his usual outfit, he seemed to have put his hair up again, similar to how Falken had done so last night.

Campfire, Mess Area

Geki raised an eyebrow. "Why do so many of you apologize when there's nothing to apologize for?" He reached into a cooler and pulled out a banana. "Here. Couldn't bring any pudding or ice cream, so this'll have to do."

Then he caught sight of Lucas in his costume. And rolled his eyes before turning back to his pot.

School Trip, Day 2: Novus 9, Thursday, 9:30 AM

Geki was in line to receive whatever Goodwitch was passing out. He was once again armored and dressed, meaning he must've been among the early risers. His hood was pulled over his head against the chill, hiding his yawns.

The Next Day, Hope

Alfred wasn't the only one having a rough night. Judging by the sour expression the grayhaired girl had, she too faced way too many thoughts in bed.

She wheeled over to the gathering, peering over to check what Miss Goodwitch was distributing before setting her eyes on Alfred again. "Hey. Rough night?" It was a stupid, rhetorical question, but it was as good as any way of starting a conversation.

Morning: Around Glynda

Al scratched his head, turned to the side to see Hope, surprised at the condition seen on her face.

"Yes, for some reason I had more nightmares tonight than usual, and you?"

Alfred asked as he scratched his head, continuing to read what Glynda gave the students gathered around her.

Ayers had been up for... for awhile. He'd basically passed out on the lawn, then woke up and kept doing what he was: deconstructing and reconstructing his arms, over and over. He was still covered in a thin layer of dew come morning. He walked over to Glynda as if there was nothing wrong, fully kitted out and ready to start the day, if a little bit quieter than usual.

Arena

"When exactly was it decided that I would be your referee?" Pius maintained his disapproving gaze toward Jack as the reckless boy tossed what appeared to be several grenades, all of which seemed to have been with him a while. The gray-eyed Nobel comforted himself with the fact that they all seemed rather secure for now, though he would exercised caution around them by encasing them with Dust-generated ice while Jack and Alexia had their duel. "I don't recall volunteering for the position, unless there's no one else to do it."

Morning

Imuka was one of the students gathered around Goodwitch, fairly curious as to what was being handed out. However, while she was fairly patient about waiting the gathering crowd over at the arena began to draw some of her attention, eventually giving way to a tapping foot and multiple glances, one of which settled on her teammate.

"H-Hey, Miss Hope? Do you know what is going on over there?" The gynoid queried, hopping that maybe she knew something more then she did.

Hope

"I just couldn't sleep." She replied with a sigh, hearing that Alfred's night was indeed - as she first assumed - rough.

Then Imuka showed up to ask her about the stuff Goodwitch was giving out. "No idea, Imu. I guess those are the assignments for today?"

Flashback: Wasteland Village

At that moment, the crowd parted slightly, allowing the students to get a glimpse of the person everyone was going mad about.

Silvery-white hair, gorgeous blue eyes. Dressed modestly and yet looking like a queen.

Supermodel. Actress. Idol singer. Humanitarian.

Only nineteen, and yet all these things already.

Cornelia Azul, "Miss Nellie" to her fans, made eye contact with them...specifically Ieria. And she smiled and approached.

Flashback: Campfire

Alexia frowned at Lucas's words, crossing her arms at both his blatant mistrust and Pius's suggestion.

"Sir Lucas...I'm not stupid. Sending this to Carol would do far more harm than good. In fact, I think I'll delete it." She said firmly.

Meanwhile, Erin continued to be unable to look at Glen directly.

"I...I have no preference. I..I'll leave it to you. Please do as you see fit."

Camp: Arena

Make our ancestors proud....

Alexia smiled at Jack's words. Right. That was definitely right.

She was a princess of Vale. She needed to make her name and her blood proud.

Her people. Her duty. She must be strong. To protect her people, to complete her duty.

"That's what I intend to do Sir Jack!"

Alexia raised her sword and shield and made a half step towards her opponent, taunting him to make the first move.

Morning: Camp

"Unnngh...."

A feminine voice answered Remus, as the person who bumped into him turned out to be Chelsea, purple eyes blinking rapidly and with giant bags under them.

"Remukin?"

She probably pulled off another all-nighter.

Meanwhile, something soft and fluffy was launched at Lucas's head as an excited voice yelled out.

"Catch!"

As for the students near Glynda, it seemed she was handing out a map of the surrounding area. Marked on the map were five points that seemed to be either ruins or villages.

"Our activity for today. Testing on how well you've explored the area."

The map seemed to be incomplete.

"You will find a piece of the map in each of those five locations. This will be a team activity. The first team to complete the map and find the hidden location must retrieve the item within. There are only a limited number of items. You must be quick."

"The teams who retrieve the items will get an automatic perfect score on your next exam. The time limit is sunset today. Of course, there will be obstacles in your way."

Morning: Camp

"Woah there Chels. Take it easy." Remus said as he took hold of the sleepy cat faunus. "You know, pulling those all nighters really isn't good for your health." Stopping for a moment he thought for a moment. "Now that I say that I realize how hypocritical that sounds coming from me, buuuuuuut. My point still stands."

Last night: Princess Lucy

"Thanks, Lexi," Lucas responded to her, adjusting one of the bows on the dress. "As curious as I am as to what Carol thinks of this outfit... Well, she already worries about me leaving her as it is. I'd rather not throw fuel onto the fire."

This morning: Combat Ready

The fluffy thing was lucky Luke had sheathed Svelluta to take a quick break. Otherwise, with the way the situation had thrown him off guard, he would have sliced it in half. As it was, though, adrenaline surged for a moment as he caught the thing.

He tried to catch his breath before he answered. "You didn't need to grab my attention like that. What did you need?"

Morning at the Camp.

...To say last night had gone better than expected was a bit of an understatement and he'd slept like a log. ...Although the following morning was already off to a boring start...well, until Glynda's announcement had caught his attention.

"So, treasure hunt time! Only, y'know, with, whaddya call it...incentive to find it instead of actual treasure. Easy marks are the best marks...~" He cheerfully remarked. ...This was going to be easy.

Of course, with his team-mates sort of stuck on the ground, they'd slow things down...a tiny bit as he glances at the trio...and wondering why Ayers was...quiet.

"Somethin' up, boss?"

CAMPFIRE

"Ah, come on Princess, at least send me one of them." Jack said to Lexi. "Who's to say that Carol doesn't want to save a damsel in distress?" He chuckled as he looked at Lucy before flipping the sausages. "Anyone hungry?" Dinner's done."

ARENA

"Those are duds pal!" Jack laughed at Pius. "Besides, who here is responsible enough to watch over such a serious ritual?" He asked, clearly enjoying the disapprovement on Pius's face before he turned to face Lexi.

He circled her several times before darting forward, feinting a straight punch at her head only to roundhouse kick at the back of her knee.

Around Glynda > Team AGAT'S tent

Alfred scratched his hair and began walking towards his team's tent, trying to find anyone of from the team. An Exploration test huh? I might get another catch at the lake actually. Maybe I should try this"

Are we gonna have that weird wrestling thing again? Really?

Is there a problem with that Iktomi?

… No I guess. At least you're not brooding

Al messaged the rest of team AGAT's scrolls. "Guys we have our Hunter mission for today from Glynda, whoever's not in the tent get there ASAP"

Finally he went inside the tent and called out. "Hey, anyone here?"

Campfire

Feeling as if his presence was unwanted or causing discomfort, Glen sighed and said "Very well, I'll give it a wee bit o' thought an' inform you once I've figured somethin' out. G'night"

And with that the Highlander turned to leave.

Getting orders

Groggy and barely equipped for the day ahead of him, Glen stumbled up to join his classmates and acquire the map he'd be needing to complete before looking around for his team, calling out "I dinnae ken who's on my team anymore but if you could find me that'd be braw."

Flashback: Wasteland Village

"Seems the Children are quite fond of you, Miss Cornelia." Ieria noted as she looked around. "I apologize for not recognizing you sooner, I do not keep up with most musicians."

Morning Scavenger Hunt

Ieria glanced at the map that she had been given before looking back to Medus. "We should collect Alexia and Pius once Alexia has completed her duel." She noted before looking back to the map, her eyes trailing over the incomplete spots. "Where do we begin first..."

Arena, the Referee

Even with Jack's reassurance that the bombs were not functional, Pius couldn't help but eye them suspiciously until the opening melee before him caught his attention. After all, could he really trust someone like Jack to be completely sure about the operational state of explosives?

Scavenger Hunt - AGAT Tent

Grigori woke up a little early and looked around the campsite, the lake, and the mountain ahead. Thoughts of Alexandros ran through his head as time passes. Then, his scroll had vibrated, signifying a message was sent. He looked at it and went inside to check on the team as Alfred had entered the tent. The raven faunus replied, "Hey."

Wasteland Village, Before

Hope couldn't say she recognized the musician. Well, she recognized her in a sense that the lady was a celebrity, but anything she sung must have slipped her mind.

Still, for now that was a secondary matter. There supposedly was someone summoning Grimm in the vicinity and she wouldn't have that. Thus, Carnima rolled around the village in search for anything suspicious still.

"Alright. C'mon, team, get yourself organized and we can leave." An automatic success of a next exam sounded pretty tempting to Hope, all things considering.

It was only a matter of few minutes to organize, anyway.
