Lena smiled at Raggy and gave him another peck on the cheek. "Wow, when did you get so wise?"
Then, to Ao. "Girl, you have got to get that attitude problem fixed."
Ricardo frowned, deep in thought. "What you say makes no sense. Faunus are not human. The only living creatures in Remnant are humans, plants and animals. Faunus are not human, and they are certainly not plants! Ergo, they are animals!"
"It is factually wrong to treat them as humans, because tgey are not. That would be a lie. I never lie."
He looked at Dian. "My father is the great Gaston, of course."

"... Correction, humans are also animals if we are going to go into definitions," Suzune interjected. "You are a living organizim that feeds on organic mater yes? You can respond to stimuli yes? You get energy through respiration yes? You are an animal, any term you apply to them also applies to you"

Raggy smiled a tired smile upon being pecked. "Apparently whenever I'm frustrated or not angry enough to go into a fit my wisdom shoots up several levels." He spoke, chuckling.
"...though if this keeps up, I feel like I'm gonna just grab the nearest blunt object and go on a rampage." He groaned, his head dropping on the desk with a soft thud.
Everytime Lena spoke Ao became more agitated. But that last comment was enough to make her nearly snap. She got up and walked up Lena leaning into her face and bearing her fangs. "Retract that statement." she said not loud, she was past yelling now.

"T-Then that l-logic i-is pretty flawed. I-If they were no more than m-mindless animals, t-they would not be having t-this argument in the f-first place, you realize. Just h-how shut-in and sheltered f-from the world were you...?" he managed to stammer at Richardo.
...I have to do something, if this keeps going...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Messy Hall
Having finished up both her breakfast and her tolerance for Ricardo's existence, Isabelle picked up her plate and motioned at Lena towards the door. She gave the princess with a look that said "Please, let's get the hell away from this moron," before giving Ao a concerned and defensive look when she walked up to Lena.
Good luck with that one, princess. She said as she made her way out.
"Hey, Suzy, can you help me get ready?"

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%..."You step back from her right now." Despite the fact that Raggy's face was still lying flat on the table, the sudden change of voice - similar to what happened when Tasha socked Lena in the face - would be hard to go unnoticed. That was the voice that made it clear that its owner is about to go nuclear.

Lena jumped to her feet and pulled Raggy down. "Chill, Raggy. I got this shiznit."
She looked at Ao coldly. "Girl, can't stand the truth? Newsflash, honey, you're the only one acting like a high and mighty bitch here. I get where you're coming from, I do, but that isn't the right way. Look..."
She held out her hand to shake, her face softening. "Start over. My name is Lena."
Ricardo frowned at Suzune's words. "...You are correct. Then...I guess...we are all animals! Ha!"
He grinned. "Happy news! I can date you after all, Lady Violet!"
Then, he parried Dian's punch with his palm. "Reisetoter? Excellent! I have found you...my eternal rival!"
"Maren. I'm doing this for both of our sakes." Ullioc added, eventually reaching the kitchen with his captive in tow.
He eventually let Maren go near one of the counter tops. Eggs and food packets lay in organized rows along the flat surface. Some of the food was imported, and probably came with Ullioc to Vale. Mistrali cheeses, Vacuonese spices, all sorts of good stuff.
With the spread in front of them, it definitely seemed he had planned to get more food from the beginning.
"What do you want then? I can whip something good up quick."
"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"Well, at the very least we have Ricardo's problem out of the way.
Truth be told, I'm pleasantly surprised at how easy it was for Suzune to spin him around.
As told, Remington stepped back when Lena decided to turn the other cheek and make amends with the other girl, his features relaxing a little. Just a little. Deep breaths, Rag. She can do it. Of course she can do it.
Don't flip out if Ao hits her. Don't flip out if she insults her. Don't flip out, period...
Then, Dian's question briefly snapped him back to reality of his good old self. "Ah, but what have become of our duel, my lady?" He asked, grinning. "I understand that such eternal rivalry stands first before random encounters, but my heart feels a tiny bit of jealousy."
Its true, she was and she knew it in her mind. But there was no way she was about to admit it, not to Lena. She looked down at the hand, and back up at its owner. For a moment it looked like she was going to take the hand. But only for a moment. She, turned away and silently went back to her seat.
You could have just shook her hand. once again the little voice called her common sense spoke up. What was even the point? You didn't accomplish anything. it continued. She couldn't even come up with an answer to her question, except that this is the way it's always been. No matter what. She let out of small huff, and resolved to simply wait for initiation to start.

He then walked over to Raggy and patted him in the back, still laughing. "Do not worry, gentleman! I am a generous man! I will invite you as well! There is nothing more exhilirating than a free for all!"
Relena sighed. I'm gonna keep trying.
She walked over to Ao's seat, smiled at the girl..and gave her a gentle hug. "Come on. Let's be friends."

"My Dust..." Amy said. "I can't beleive people can be that clueless." she said taking another sip of her soda. "Ricardo I warn you. Faunus are touchy about being described as 'beasts' or 'animals' because these words were used to rally humans in support of the forced migration to Menagerie." she explained.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing."...now, now you're talking my language." Raggy grinned back at Ricardo. "This is a challenge that I humbly accept. May the best one prevail victorious in our scuffle!"
And yet, the worry continued as he watched Lena approach Ao again. Though the smile was back on his face, a tiny bit of Remington still kept restless.

Ao went rigid at the hug, and her mind began to race while she silently freaked right the hell out. This was strange. What is she doing? Is she attacking you? No. This position left her too vulnerable. It feels nice. IT'S A TRICK! YOU HAVE TO GET AWAY!
Ao pushed off of Lena and looked at her with genuine fright in her eyes. "S-stop that." she managed to stammer out.

Taking one last glance into the Mess Hall, James gave a silent sigh and just started walking, ignoring that he dropped his plastic-steel box and kept The ballroom...or wherever Initiation was happening, it'd be easier to just sit down and wait as he dragged himself there and grabbed a seat.
...and now...I guess I wait...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Tezca resisted the urge to facepalm. "<By all that is sacred...> Then at the very least, use the correct name! We are Faunus. Not animals!"
