Ragnaros glanced at Ao's exasparated rant before chuckling a mirthless laughter. Seems like he wasn't allowed to go back to his normal self ever since Ricardo made his first impressions and everything went straight to hell.
"...certainly, my lady." He spoke, snatching a pancake and munching it down. "Though to say we'll be fighting only Grimm would be wishful thinking. Our parents' generation squared with both White Fang and Arcana at some point." Loud sigh. "And while I'm certain that the most of us will get along splendidly, as the gathering from yesterday proves, there will always be people that are difficult to approach. Like you, who doesn't seem to do anything but turn away everybody with your harsh tone and irritated mannerisms." As he spoke the last sentence, Remington's brows furrowed.
"W-W-White Fang? A-Arcana?"
The youth adjusted his glasses, a bit concerned, but also curious at what those two things...groups were.
"...A-And um, t-to be kind o-of obvious, i-if a fight like that did break out...w-which I really hope it w-won't..." James simply shook his head, going a slight shade of red. "I-If we could all get along...i-it'll mean that when w-we team up, we may h-have an better a-advantage."

Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Iris then turned and looked at Ricardo. "W-why do you hate Faunus so m-much?"
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015...maybe he wasn't aware that the people he was insulting...actually outnumber the 'humans' 2 to 1... James mused to himself, smiling a little as he got to his feet and headed over to his backpack in the corner before eventually sitting back down, putting that plastic-steel box on the table.
"U-U-Um, i-if it makes you f-feel any better, I t-think there's one more c-chicken sandwich left..." James smiled at Dian, glancing around the room. "A-And, uh, still a fair bit of l-l-licorice left over, t-too...if p-people care."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Mess Hall
"You're not my father Remington" she said, her voice picking up into full rage mode. "I'm not some psycho, so you can kiss the very back end of my ass!" at that, she picked up her plate and stalked over to the other end of the mess hall. She knew she'd regret opening her mouth but it was done now.

"S-Soon, I'm guessing. W-Won't be long before we're all teamed up...if we...n-no, I'm sure w-we can pass whatever i-it is."
The human smiled, as it was cut short slightly by Ao shouting and him looking worried again.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Lena gave a noncommital grunt to both her brother and Nat, as she continued glaring at Ricardouche.
"I am going to castrate him, I swear I will."
But then Marvin did his thing, and Lena smirked. She turned to Dian. "Anti-Faunus prejudice is almost gone. We've been making major steps. Queen Alice has abolished the Human First Law. And Selene's mother is a noble."
Then Ao said what she said. "Oy! No need to be a cranky bitch!"
Ricardo, frowned but didn't actually fight Marvin off. Hell, he actually looked...slightly guilty?
"I am sorry, sir. I know my perfection is irresistible, but alas, I do not swing that way. I apologize for breaking your heart."
He looked at Iris. "I...don't hate Faunus. I think you animals are kind of cute, actually."
"I believe Lena would object to that notion." Raggy smiled a particularly dry smile, watching an enraged Ao storm away. Not a moment later however the curving of his lips lowered as he sighed, once again rubbing his temples. "It really is best to drop any morality topics for now."
Then Ricardo said what he said again. Giving out a long, long sigh Remington moved back to Lena and Nat, trying his best to remain calm in face of what was about to come. Gone was the cheerful energy, embraced - focus.

Mess Hall
"Not helping your case, Ricardo," Isabelle remarked. She continued to eat her pancakes and drink her chocolate milk without even looking at the disgrace of a noble child, deciding that she wasn't going to give him the pleasure of looking at her face.
Ugh, that makes me think he's pleasuring himself to my face. She thought with a disgusted frown as she took another bite, focusing on the taste of her breakfast to try crashing this particularly disgusting train of thought. Damn, that sounds gross.

"Hey!" Isabelle cried out as her peripheral vision perceived Ao's egg and she almost instinctively knocked it down onto her plate.
"Save the food fights for after we survive Initation!" She said to Ao before turning back to her plate. "Geez, are you all looking for a fight?" Then the Nobel ate the remains of Ao's egg before moving on to the last of her pancakes.

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...James nodded in agreement, blinking in surprise and just falling flat on his face before picking himself up and rubbing his nose.
"N-Not that it's r-really my fight, b-but they are r-right. They're just a-as human as w-we are."
...Please don't do something stupid.
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Lena glared at Ao and spat out "Well, I guess Ricardouche isn't the only asshole here. That's not the way to make friends, missy."
Then she saw Raggy's face and took his hand in a gestuture of support.
Ricardo's head tilted, honestly confused. "But you are not human. That is fact. Different species, yes? Why should I call you something you are not?"
"...thanks." Raggy flashed Lena a smile of appreciation, giving her hand a small squeeze, before focusing back on Ricardo and Ao. "The point is, there is no need to call anyone an animal. We are Hunters, that is what Lady Ao said. In such a regard, we are one and we must learn how to work together, without insulting one another. By accident or otherwise."
"There is no point in being mean." He shook his head. "We have a common enemy, so why make ourselves cross with one another?"

Glancing back and forth between Rich and Ao, James nodded in agreement with Raggy, closing his eyes and exhaling.
"...He's right. As hunters...team-mates, we're all equals here. ...And I don't think any of us really...wants to be another corpse. So...let's all just let whatever grudges we have go for now...okay? Otherwise...well...I don't think we'll last long if our teams fall apart..."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Nope, it just wasn't working. Ao couldn't keep her mouth shut. "We are minutes away from initiation and you do this?" she said, not yelling, but the indignation was clear in voice. "We came here to fight Grimm not humans. As hunters we'll be above all those petty squabbles. We fight for mankind not to please our egos, now if you don't mind. SHUT UP!"
