Welcome to Beacon: Ultimate Server

Party

Imuka hiccuped slightly as she tried to think of a reply to this one, although that did not take her long "B-But who is the one to get jealous of when your the one getting every one to your self?"

2am

In that case Sylvia, "Y-Yes miss hope?", the foxes ability to reply would answer that yes she is, she is just not exactly stable in her movements or very high with inhibitions right now.

"We haven't gotten all of it out yet, but Imuka and I ran through some of Epsilon's data on Alexandros before our visit to Zanz," Pius replied, ready to get make some real progress against their enemy.

"Imuka is..." A cursory look around gave him a blank answer, and he returned his attention to Vale's heir apparent. "Not present, but she shared the data with, so it's in the computer in my workshop as well."

Party time

Glen chuckled in response to Erin Glad you enjoy enjoy it, an' happy new year tae you Erin.

Srs time

His cheerful demeanor slowly starting to fade, Glen spoke up "Feckin' pirates? I figured Arcana'd be able tae hire better fighters than that." Though he kept it to himself, Glen was pretty sure he'd heard of this Johnny, or at least someone like him during his travels south.

Noting Erin's uneasiness, Glen sent a quick message her way Everythin' alright in there? If this is nae sittin' well wi' you, I can excuse myself. Wi' all due respect, I dinnae care much for Alice an' any excuse tae leave is welcome.

Party Like It's 1999.

The air-head couldn't resist and decided to tease Alexia a little. "Bondin', huh? Dunno if that's a good idea, considerin' a cute gal like yourself is probably already datin' someone else ya should be bondin' with..."

He just giggled and casually held his arms behind his head. "But, hey, if you wanna train and spar and whatnot, I'm game. I should probably take it easy on ya, though. I mean, don't wanna overdo it like I sorrrrrrta did today."

"...Wait, so some evil organization that kinda needs stompin' so all the people don't get...er, whatever they're tryin' to do? Heh, I 'spose beatin' up bad-guys is gonna be different from squashin' mindless Grimm." Falken...didn't look phazed at all.

Of course, with Ayers looking so bitter, his smile got a little worn down.

"Oh, so ya only like orders bein' given out when you're doin' it, leader?" Falken smirked, chuckling a little. "Pirate? Ones that fly 'round in the sky or on that big blue ocean pirate?"

2 AM

"...mind if I take you away for a moment?" She inquired, glancing at Silvia. For some reason, winged Faunus' presence irritated her. It had to do something with her not-so-subtle moves for Hope's teammate, even when Belle was around.

"Think you might need a breath of fresh air." She added, her tone getting a little softer and worried.

Party

Alexia blushed and was just about to speak when Alfred walked up to her. She smiled happily as she accepted it.

"Ah! Thank you, beloved!"

She turned to look at Falken again. "Umm...er, this is Alfred. He's my boyfriend."

"Al, this is Sir Falken. He's new."

Carol did not expect that answer. What's more, she had no idea what to say to that.

"Look, er, Imuka...you're a pretty girl...but...er...I'm a one-guy person...and...shit, why is this so hard?!"

She immediately screamed for the person who had the most experience with this thing. Her adopted sister.

"IERIA HELP ME!"

Midnight Kiss

Alice sorta just stood there, faint blush on face. She seemed to be unable to move.

"....I...need to get used to that."

Meeting

Alice sighed. "Work on the data when you're not drunk and half-asleep. I'll send you the files on that Bowker criminal, too. Anyway, we need to get Max soon. We have no idea what his endgame is, but I'm pretty sure it isn't pretty."

I'm fine...it's just when my Original mentioned clones...I...well... Erin sighed.

Meeting

Well... what? Replied Glen, genuinely curious Assumin' you're willin' tae share with me that is.

Part-E.

Falken didn't even blink, or look surprised as Alexia introduced the green-haired twit to Alfred. The smile DID seem to fade slightly, although that was more of him worrying if he'd overheard...and gotten the wrong idea with the joke.

"E-Eheheheh...well, nice to meet ya, Alfred. And it's FALKEN, LADY Alexia. No 'Sir' involved." He jokingly pouts, folding his arms and pretending to look annoyed.

Party And Shitty Chocolate

"Hi." Alfred said with a monotone voice as he waved with his free hand, monotone voice a stoic expression on his face.

He then breathed, bited into the chocolate and swallowed all the pieces at once.

"Ergh, so goddamn bitter" He said before spitting a few times towards the ground.

"Mnare'an chocolate is so bad" He said and pinched the temple of his nose.

"Ah well, whatever. Happy New Years Lexi" He said and threw the chocolate wrap to the nearest trashbin

"I'm guessin' with a voice and attitude like that, ya don't like parties and think everythin' that's sweet and delicious is bitter." The air-head teased, poking at Alfred's stoic attitude.

"I mean, c'mon, ya have a cute gal clingin' to your arm, that's a pretty big reason to at least smile, don't ya think?"

2AM Meeting

Ai hopped out of Charisse's lap. She rubbed her eyes and slapped her cheeks to wake herself up. She walked closer to the meeting place, her expression severe and difficult to read.

"Could Alexandros make someone walk again?" she said.

Meeting

"So," began Rheia, after taking a moment to truly appreciate just how fucked she was, "we know who some of the terrorists are, one of them only attacks using Aura - so we can guess he's got a damn strong Aura to be able to afford doing that - and we need to take him down fast before he does very nefarious things. Got it."

Jesus, I couldn't even win against a student what makes this crazy bitch think I could stand up against a terrorist and win?

Doesn't seem like I have an option. If push comes to shove I'll stand and fight.

2 AM

"Y-You actually want me?" The fox quarried with a sigh, "F-Fine... lets go...."

"The way you word it is very inappropriate." Hope grumbled in response, taking Imuka's hand into her own as they made their way to the balcony.

Even though her peer liked chilly climates, it was still Crystallum. The gray-hair had hopes that a moment of cold air would be enough to freshen Imuka a little bit.

"Feeling any better?" She asked once they were there a moment.

Blacony

"H-How is it inappropriate when it is true... no one else..... never mind" the fox said with a sigh, not even phased in the slightest by the cold. "W-What did you need me for... I can try to help...."

Balcony

"Was just joking." Hope shook her head with a chuckle, grateful that she decided to keep her turtleneck with her and not discard it before the party. It was very well saving her from the cold.

"Just wanted to talk, I guess. A little worried about you." She sighed, her eyes concerned. "Guess I'm also trying to make up for being a bad teammate..."

Party

Ieria smiled as she wrapped her two partners in a warm hug using her long arms, closing her eyes as she rested her head peacefully on Medus' shoulder. "Feels nice, having you along Alice..." She cooed softly. And then Carol's cries interrupted her moment. Sighing, the Snake faunus stood up and walked over. "Yes, Carol?" She asked.

Midnight

Ieria smiled at Medus and Alice after her kiss before returning the favor, first with Alice and then with Medus again, making sure to hold the one with Medus for a good second or two longer than he had.

2 AM Meeting

Ieria was wide awake and yet remained silent as she stood near Alice as she debriefed the other students. Up until a short while ago, her shirt had been partially off her shoulder, but she had quickly decided to fix that.

Meeting

Remus stood in silence for a few moments, processing the information. "Well... Seems like this was pretty important." He said shortly. "I guess there's no time to waste huh?"

Jack looked at Alice, "We talking 'Aura so strong you can't move?'" He asked, not sure how attacking by aura worked.

Party

Alexia giggled slightly at Falken's words and then took a bite of the chocolate that Alfred gave her.

...It was very bitter. She tried to keep her face neutral,.but wow, that was nasty stuff.

"...I-it's not that bad?" she said weakly. It wasn't very convincing.

Carol glanced at Ieria. Then at Imuka. Then back again.

"Howdoyouturnsomeonedowngently?!"

Meeting

"He's working on it." Alice told Ai shortly. "Although I don't recommend making deals with scum like Max."

Mia announced her agreement by smashing a chair flat with her Semblance.

"...And he literally weaponized Aura. Turned the forcefield into a laser cannon." Alice answered Jack.

...It just makes me feel uncomfortable... sighed Erin.

Rufus tapped his lips at that, "There are dust treated metals that can channel aura." He put his hand on his sword, "One of the 'Snax champions before me had the vorpal swords reforged as such and he could pull of all kinds of tricks, it's said."

11:30-Midnight Party

Watching Imuka act very uncharacteristically, Ai just gave Charisse one of those disapproving looks. "Yeah, real nice," she said.

She walked over to where Imuka, Carol and Ieria were. Secretly, though, she was failing not to smirk. Really, she shouldn't laugh, because she suspected Imuka was doing this more out of loneliness than anything else.

"Is there a problem over here?" she said.

2AM Meeting

Ai paused. From her expression, it was easy to tell that she struggled internally. Finally, after a moment of silence, she spoke.

"You're right. Forget it," she said. "Do you think...what he means by creating a perfect, unaging human body...just means making everyone into a Weapon?"

Party

Al stared at Falken, blinked rapidly, scratched his hair and spoke.

"Oh right, you haven't tasted it. You think I'm just being gloomy and all of that? No, no Mnara'ean chocolate is just really damn bitter. I don't know how rich people eat this crap with straight faces" He said, and spit again.

Alfred turned to Alexia, chuckled at her reaction and sighed. "You don't need to pretend that you like it, I know this thing is bad, I've eaten it every New Years for a while now"

Party Flashbacks still acceptable.

Party

Alexia looked at the chocolate. She didn't think she can eat any more of this.

"...Umm, beloved. Why would you eat this every year? No offense, but this is murdering my tastebuds."

Carol jumped when Ai approached them.

She panicked.

"Oh, Lady. Please don't tell me you're going to hit on me too!"

Meeting

Alice frowned, thinking. "No, I don't think so. He talked as if the Weapons were just an in-between stage for his perfect human race."

A sigh. "In any case, I need to leave. I have to visit the VRIA early tomorrow. Anyway, work on that data. I'll keep in touch."

Timeskiiiip

And so the days passed, the first days of the new year. The students continued on with their lives, some diligently working on the data.

Even with some help from Shane Mauve (Called in from Maverick) it was incredibly slow going. At this point, the data was 55% decoded.

Novus 1: Alexia vs Falken

Alexia stood in the middle of the dorm's duel arena, ready for her promised duel with team GRAY's new member.

The younger princess stood in full armor◊, Pax in one hand and Alastor in the other. Serena was still sheathed.

"I'm ready when you are, Sir Falken."

Novus 3: 7:00 AM

A call went out to Imuka, her Scroll ringing persistently. It was an unknown number...

Meanwhile, Charisse would feel Mia being melancholic. Not angry or enthusiastic as she tended to be...but almost depressed...

Novus 3: 9:00 AM

A mesaage was sent to everyone's Scrolls.

"Attention all Students! Grimm Hunting Missions now available. Reward ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 Lien. For Details, speak to Miss Goodwitch."

"Note: Although missions are available to every students, first years are restrictes to E, D, and C rank missions. Second years can take B ranks, third years can take A rank and fourth years can take S rank."

Team Speak

Rheia continued to live and work in Beacon Academy. As the members of her team worked on the data Alice provided she didn't; she still didn't have a complete picture of what was going on, and decided she'd trust her teammates to get this done without her assistance.

Things went well. She practiced a lot, trying to become better, faster. Maybe then the next time Falken dueled her she'd be able to win. No other outcome had ever been considered, because at Beacon Academy, no other outcome mattered.

Novus 3rd

9:00 AM

Rheia took a look at her Scroll as it vibrated, signifying she had a message. She looked at it.

Grimm hunting missions. She'd been training for a few days now. It was finally time to put her constant testing to good use.

She immediately began to stroll off towards Goodwitch's office, intending to get in touch with her about a hunt.
