"Nope. I'm immune to heat and cold-this stuff doesn't have any sort of protection." Jack settled into a fighting stance. If he got too light, then he wouldn't be able to use momentum. "How quick do you lighten things?" He asked, circling her.

"About 20 pounds per hit," Ruth replied. "And if it's something I can just lay my bat on, it'll loose around 20 pounds per second." She began circling Jack as well. As she did this she grabbed a new cartage of dust from her ammo pack, and inserted it into her weapon. The earth that coated her bat began to flake off, and a orb of pure electricity appeared in her bat's hole. "Any limits to how much hotness or coldness you can take?" She asked.

The Fight

Jack shook his head. "Not that I can tell." He told her-"I actually dove into a volcano once. But I'm not electricity proof."

Thank god he insulated Fang and Gnash after Port let that thingy out...He settled into a fighting stance. "Taking away my weight...takes away momentum, I can't hit as hard...Helluva weapon." He complimented her. "Weirdass semblance, but pretty damn useful."

However, he had more combat skill then her...He thought. He darted forward, getting within her personal space as he attempted to punch her weapon arm's shoulder, knocking the weapon back before grabbing her head and jumping, attempting to slam her head down into a stunner.

Arena

As Jack moved in Ruth attempted to swing her bat and send out her lightning orb. However the blow to her shoulder reached her before she could complete her swing, Her arm swung into the air and with it a orb of electricity flew up and exploded into the ceiling.

She then felt Jack's hand around the back of her head, and before she had a chance to react she felt herself slam into Jack's stunner. It hurt, but thankfully for her his forty pounds of lost weight left her less stunned than she normally would be. After the impact she pushed her hands against the ground to quickly rebound onto her feet. She then pulled her bat's secondary trigger, causing her bat to be coated in electricity. Next she took a swing at Jack, this time however she wasn't aiming for his head, but instead towards his center of gravity, hoping that with all the weight he had lost the impact would send him flying a few feet backwards, putting some distance between the two of them.

Skydocks

Chelsea gave her boyfriend a slightly teasing smile.

"Oh, you don't have to give excuses. I know you need at least half a day of sleep to function."

At that moment, Glynda looked at her watch and started herding the students towards the airships.

"Here we go. ....Wish Seth was here." mumbled Olivia.

Chelsea snorted. "If only he could get his grades up..."

Once all the students had boarded, the airships took off and began to fly westward towards the Vacuo border.


Vale-Vacuo border, 9:45 AM

The airship landed in an open grassland on the border of a rather large lake. The rocky mountains that were typical of the border rose in the horizon, and the students could even se the towering spire of Mount Amaterasu a bit farther away.

On the grassland itself was what seemed to be a small town of tents, apparently the lodgings for the trip. Right next to the lake itself was an open space filled with chairs and desks and a blackboard.

"Pick a tent and unpack. A maximum of two people in a tent. Report to the learning area by 10:15." said Glynda.

"First off we'll be giving a lecture on third and fourth year level battle tactics and after lunch we will hunt the rare Grimm in this area."


Back at the dorm

Let's go to the cityyyy. I'm boooored. whined Mia, purposely sounding as annoying as she can.

Then, she returned to her usual pitch.

Heh. The bratty half-pint doesn't suit me. You know of any other images I could try?


Alexia

Alexia could barely text back before needing to puke. Sweet Gaia, what is this virus?

Can barely move. Ugh hate this.

Geki nodded to show that he understood. "Enjoy your trip, Yun." Even as he started to boil a pot of water and rice. Working around Glen, he even began chopping up some pork and peppers.

Writing Texts to Princess, 8.30

Well, that didn't seem too reassuring. With a frown Hope typed some more. "should i come over", it said.

Perhaps she really had to reach for the secret stash of chocolates...

Morning at the Border

"I suppose I'll take that as a yes, then. I'll see you in a few days, Alexia. Get well soon." Aside from that exchange, and a note to Medus and Ieria to keep an eye on the princess, Pius did and said little in anticipation of the trip he would embark on. He sequestered himself in his workshop in the meantime, preparing his Dust mixtures and tuning up Dies Irae, and only came down to have a brief breakfast at eight. When the time came to report to Beacon's skydock, Pius arrived quietly with Dies Irae in hand, greeting anyone who spoke to him with a polite nod and the occasional word.

When they arrived at the border between Vacuo and Vale, Pius took in the majestic natural sight of the area around the camp. Were it not for the Grimm infesting the region, this place would be nice for a home out in the country. Pushing such thoughts out of his mind, Pius walked towards a nearby tent to unpack.

Kitchen

I'd actually argue y'all don't even gotta be shaped like a person. Ayers thought with a shrug. So animals, obj—

Ayers cut himself off before he suggested Mia project herself as a weapon.

I got this pitcher I took a me at the island. Ayers pulled his Scroll out and flipped over to his full-figured and curly-haired mutated form that resulted from that hellish island turning him into a girl. He frowned. I ain't usin' it after all.

Ayers then looked up, having stared into space and thinking silently. He started scarfing down oatmeal. "Arright, uh, anyways, Mia wants to go to the city like yesterday so I'mma finish eatin' then we all git goin', just come with if yer comin' with. Imuka." Ayers clapped the girl on the back with Naegling. "Y'all stay safe out there too. Y'all wanna borrow one of my arms till yer back?"

Morning, Kitchen

Nigel opened the door to the kitchen, and peeked his head inside to see how crowded it was. Seeing that there were indeed people there, he decided to greet them.

"Mornin', boys and girls. Mind if I come in and make something?"

"Doki Doki Lit. Club" is a happy game where nothing bad happens. seriously tho? not for the faint of heart.

Jack caught the blow with his gauntlets but the force sent him staggering back-he had lost the weight advantage in a big way. He rolled back onto his feet. "Well, I guess I'm losing." He said, before darting forward and letting it his gauntlets drop-they lost their weight-at least he now wasn't one hundred and twenty pounds. He let Ruth swing, ducking under her weapon and attempting to grab her in a sleeper hold.

Jack managed to land his sleeper hold, and grabbed Ruth from behind. Ruth thought fast and attempted to hit Jack in the leg repeatedly with her electrified bat. As she did this, Ruth also began attempting to shake Jack off of her, hoping that either the electricity or his ever decreasing weight would force him to relinquish his hold.

ARENA

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!"

However, even as she struck him, his grip only tightened around her neck...Of course, eventually Jack weighed nothing more than a scarf and was being swung around, annoyed with how he was suddenly floaty. He let go, floating down to the ground and sat up. "I Yield." He said, annoyed. "Fuck your semblance."

Ruth inhaled sharply as Jack released his sleeper hold and let out a few coughs. "Wait, so-" she began before being interrupted by more coughing, "-I win?" As she said this the electricity on her bat began to dissipate, and she looked a bit surprised. Between Jack's quick wrestling moves, and sheer toughness she hadn't been sure if she'd pull though.

"Oh, right, sorry," Ruth replayed. She then turned off her semblance, and Jack could feel his weight slowly return to him. "So, do you think I'll fit into your team?" She asked, sounding a little more smug than she probably meant to. She took a seat on the floor in front of him, bat in her lap.

"Honestly? You'll do just fine." Jack looked at his hand. "Am I normal now?" He asked pointedly.

"I suppose Ozpin didn't tell you this. We are fighting a terrorist organization called Arcana. You hear anything about that?" Jack asked her. He figured it was better he tell it than Pius-guy was fine and all, he just tended to be a bit too in depth.

"Don't worry, your weight should be back to normal now," Ruth replied. "Ozpin didn't tell me much honestly, just that-" she stood up and stuck her bat to the ground like she was holding a cane and gave her best Ozpin impression, "'You and you new team will be fighting the creatures of Grimm, as well as anything else that should threaten this city, or humanity as a whole.'" She sat back down, "So, you know, cryptic as ever. But, yeah, who're these Arcana guys?"

"Cunts mostly." Jack said. "There's the Star-asshole. Um...Don't know any of them. Except for two." His voice became an almost feral growl as he said the next word. "The Devil. I'm going to find that fucker and rip his fucking arm off." He muttered to himself, before going back to normal. "And the World. Who tore my fucking arm off. He's a dick-never ask the snake girl with the big boobs about the world. She's his grand daughter or something."

The Campground

"It's a rather beautiful place." Chelsea commented, smiling at her boyfriend.

"Do you want to go claim a tent for us?"

"Use protection." Olivia deadpanned.

Chelsea blushed bright red. "Seth is a terrible influence on you!"


'''Back at the Dorm'"

Don't want to trouble you... Alexia texted Hope.

Meanwhile, it seemed someone had left the holoviewer on at the living room. The local news was on.

"....An attack in the city of Vale...seems to be...unprovoked....Arcana involved..."

The Campground

Unlike the others who were entranced by the beauty, Imuka looked pretty uncomfortable at the thought of being this close to Vocaou, "W-Why did it have to be this place?" she queried to herself before immediately wandering over to Pius and sticking close to him.

Kitchen

Glen was quick to notice Geki skulking about him, notably because it's hard for a cook not to notice someone else doing their job.

Planting a hand firmly on Geki's shoulder, Glen politely, but somewhat aggressively said "I'd prefer that you nae do that while I'm cookin'. If you want somethin, park your arse an' ask for it instead o' sneakin' about my back."

Morning With(out) Arcana

Hope frowned. It seemed sometimes like they were going through exact same song and dance every time either of them was sick.

"imma come over anyway its no problem", she replied to the princess before reaching over for the secret stash of chocolates. It was kind of a big word, "stash" - it was only a single bar of toffee-flavored goodness, preserved in relatively intact state thanks to a small air conditioner Hope and Ayers built the other day.

Getting dressed and organized and then moving out of the room to wheel over to NAMI's bedroom, she caught sight of the news. Arcana again? Well, here was hoping that law enforcement and other Huntsmen can contain the situation. Apprehending some of the Arcanas would be nice.

Sighing she made her way over to Alexia's room and knocked at the door. "Hey, it's me."

Novus 7, 9:45: Campground

Ai fell asleep on the ride over to the camp. Nothing unusual, given that a good airship ride, no matter how long, always put Ai to sleep. She emerged into the little camp, tents already set up—thankfully.

"Tents. Tents." More golf claps. "I'm being punished for my hubris."

She walked over to Imuka and Pius, the two in the group she was most familiar with. She peered off into the distance thoughtfully, at the peak of Mt. Amaterasu, and wondered what the wreckage of the Luna base up there looked like now.

"We're really close to the border, so it's pretty much untamed wilderness all around. There's nothing but Grimm out here. A trek up the mountains and we'd be in East Vacuo. I hope we're not going mountain climbing."

Campground: Big Lake, 9:45 AM

After the instructions were given from Goodwitch to the students, Alfred spoke to Stormer. "I'm going to be on a tent of my own, I'd rather sleep alone" and went away

Al stared at the scenery for a very short while, though he didn't seem to enjoy it, he looked more like he was scanning the area than staring at its beauty. He went to set up the tent, walked outside it in the direction of the lake, he inspected the water, especially looking for any sign of fish he could get in it.

While he was scanning for food in the area, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to talk with Alexia during the bus ride.

He pulled out his scroll and texted the princess.

Hey, sorry I didn't ask you how you were doing beforehand, I was just focused on a bunch of things and around to it, and on the bus I was already kinda tired.

I heard you were sick, how bad is it?
