Jack smirked. "Yeah, I guess a pillow over the head is appropriate for unintentional puns." After Velos received a pillow to the cranium, Jack began to mutter to himself, remembering where he heard that name before. "Velos... Skotia... Velos Skotia... Skotia Velos... Skotia, son of Skotia... Velos, son of..."

It was at this point Jack put the tea-wear down back on Lili and then lightly nudged her away without disturbing her balance. He then snapped his fingers, pointing toward Velos. "Ferrous Skotia! You're his kid!" Jack slowly shook his head. "Oh my, oh dear. Well, now I know especially not to feel bad about your sticky situation with Princess Moo Moo."

With a brief sigh and a sneer, "Certainly does explain why you ended up here over Atlas. Well, I'll leave you to the lioness' pillow den." Jack excused himself and walked towards Cinnabar to see what he was reading.

Basil ducked under Bianca's swing before hopppng several feet away. "Nice try." He deadpanned, a challenging glint in his eye.

Jack's proclamation about Ferrous Skotia did draw the faunus' attention away from the pillow fight, mainly due to his words about what happened on the Bullhead. "Asshole..." Basil muttered with a scowl.

In response to the apparent scouting embargo, Axel merely shrugged "If scouting ahead is against the rules for the initiation, then I'll stick to them."

Though he was none too pleased with being forced to go into a completely unknown operating area blind, Axel begrudgingly accepted that it was a scenario he was likely to encounter numerous times during his tenure at the school.

As a pillow fight broke out next to him, Axel took a moment to force a smile before calling out in what he thought to be an amicable tone "Be mindful of your surroundings, both of you!"

As for Jack's outburst, Axel asked "Anything I should know about? If no one feels like sharing, or doesn't feel comfortable doing so, that's fine too."

Jack snapped back at Basil by softly calling him a "Locust."

As for Axel, "A classic tale of hubris, is all."

Bianca squeed in delight, jumping away from Jeanne's attacks and smiling up at Basil when he dodged, giving him a quick thumbs up before going back to trying to duck Jeanne's pillow.

"Will do, chief!" She yelled out to Axel, throwing a wild swing at Jeanne.

When Velos came up to yell at them, she signalled for a timeout and walked over to give him yet another apologetic hug.

"Sorry! Sorry! Wasn't intending to hit uninvolved civillians, umu! We'll watch what we're doing!"

And then Jack said something and Bianca assumed it was something mean. She didn't really understand what it was, something about a name, Vel's dad? But since it was Jerkface, it couldn't have been any good.

....So she chucked her pillow at Jack's head.

Jack's hair waved as the pillow crashed into the side of his face with a mighty "FWOOMP." Unmoved, when the pillow fell off, Jack still held his smirk. He tilted his head a little, as if he were trying to observe something on Bianca.

"Is that gum in your hair? I guess many things simply adhere to you."

Scarlett continues doing her crunches alongside Blaze, her focus never wavering from her training- Oh damn, is that a pillow fight?! To hell with training, I am so getting in on this!

Just as she did on the airship, Scarlett activates her semblance and stands atop the shoulders of a pair of copy Scarletts. Mustering up her best mock dramatic voice, she points accusingly at the girl who would be Queen of the Pillow Fights. "You will never be Queen of the Pillow Fights! Not as long as I'm still standing!" With a big grin, Scarlett leaps off her perch at Jeanne, attempting to bring a pillow down on her head.

Being interrupted (again) by Scarlet and Jeanne, Jack figured he should vent his frustration. Digging his foot underneath the pillow Bianca had chucked at him, Jack flung the pillow at Scarlet to shoot her usurpation for the pillow queen crown down.

"I'm simply voicing my opinion and advice. It's not necessary to apologize, just something to keep in mind, is all." Jayce politely commented before realizing the chaos of a pillow fight was going on around him and wisely did his best to avoid getting clobbered.

"...? If scouting is a problem, can't just we just, you know, do it like...tomorrow? I mean if we don't end up in the same location, we could, uh...transfer data on our surroundings or something like that...~? Or at least talk over a distance~?"

Of course, with Jack's...callous remark, the sharply dressed man with green hair was about to deliver a small retort in response before heading back to return to making any extra preparations.

Bianca's apology, while helpful, wasn't going to help much with Velos' s mood. The second Jack mentioned his father's name, Velos knew it was over. Not even in another academy could he try to move on, it seems. People were always going to hold the Incident over his head, and the worst part was, as much as he knew Jack was doing it to be an ass, he couldn't fully blame him for doing so. After all, it was his own damn fault everything went to shit that night.

Still, he had enough of all that transpired today. Not only was he made to look like an incompetent fool several times because of numerous people, now Jack wasn't even going to bother apologize for the prank because of something he learned after he pulled it off? Velos frankly had enough. He grabbed his pillow and activated his Semblance. Once again, he appeared as a smoky blur as he threw his pillow at Jack as hard as he could.

Quick as a flash, Bianca had gone after Velos, panicking slightly as he went out of sight.

Thankfully he didn't do anything worse than chuck a pillow at Jerkface, but Bianca was still nervous at what Velos would do. She might be an idiot, but she could still see trouble coming.

She laid a gentle hand (something that didn't happen very often, Bianca didn't really do gentle much, umu) on Vel's shoulder and tried out a tone of voice that Mama always used to calm her down.

"Hey, hey, umu, I don't understand what he said,but I get it was bad and I know it's really tempting to smash him on the nose umu, but you gotta calm down, Vel."

"That...individual isn't worth it. Mama always said those things are only looking for attention." she continued, with all the haughty pride and contempt an Atlesian rich kid could muster.

She grinned and patted him on the back. "You're Velos, right, umu? Wanna sit down and chat? Much better than sulking!"

Jack chuckled as he was blasted by yet another pillow. This time, being some what prepared (although put off guard by Velos' semblance), Jack bowed his head forward so his forehead would absorb the shock (and Velos' frustration). As the pillow fell to the ground, he immediately placed his foot where it would land so he could launch it back to the faunus. However, the normally energetic Bianca caught Jack by surprise with her sudden change in tone and... by her words.

...Those things...
The near permanent grin waned. Slowly replaced by a tired demeanor.
...Those things...
He did go too far trying to get a rise out of Velos. Velos getting even is what Jack wanted.
...Those things...
Getting even feels good. And Velos the sour puss probably feels a little bit better now.
...Those things...
Being called an asshole, a jack ass, or a jerk face, it never bothered Jack. He thrived off of it.
...Those things...
And he tries to get others to as well. Nothing betters yourself like getting a thick skin.

Jack quickly refrained himself, but what did a thing like him have to lose? He knew just enough about Bianca to tell she probably has no real idea of what those words would mean from someone like her mother to someone like Jack. And that annoyed him far more than her umu'ing ever could.

Instead of playfully launching it back to Velos, Jack put extra strength into his leg, hurling the pillow at Bianca instead. No quips attached.

Basil brushed off Jack's retort with a scoff, having been called that quite a bit back in Vacuo. He began walking back to his sleeping bag as Bianca crouched down next to Velos, probably to comfort him. It seemed that the pillow fight was forgotton about for now...

Which was why Basil was shocked when Jack suddenly kicked a pillow at Bianca with more force than necessary. Once the soft projectile flew close enough to him, Basil snapped his leg up, kicking the pillow towards the ceiling.

"Pillow fight's over." The faunus stated, looking a little weary from the escalating drama, before initiation, no less.

The last thing he wanted was a fight to break out before they were sorted into teams.

"Please, before we all get into trouble." Basil added to the group.

Blaze (and Violet)

As the ruckus grew and people started lobbing out pillows at each other, Blaze tuned out the noise as he focused on the exercise; a minor albeit useful technique of Aura manipulation. While a prospect of playing with all these ladies was a tempting one, the strict training regimen forced him to focus on that first.

As such, most of the sounds that reached him were muffled and unfocused, making it seem like everybody could say that. Most of the words eluded him too... at least until Bianca made her insensitive remark and Blaze stopped mid-crunch. The focus went back to him as he slowly stood up. His body language seemed to suggest that he was not pleased with the development. "Which one of you just said that?" He growled, slowly scanning the group for the bad apple he didn't notice before. He had his types in this crowd, but strangely enough it wasn't Jack. No, his predictions were far more dire.

As for the purple butler, she moved behind Bianca. "Mistress, it might be prudent that you move to that room after all." She said quietly, eye set on seething Blaze. "There is hostility brewing in the air."

Bianca stood up and glanced at Jack, looking supremely unconcerned that he had just tried to attack her.

Waving a hand to make Violet stand down, Bianca spoke in a tone that really didn't fit with the cheerful blonde.

"Maybe when someone realizes that if you want to be treated like a person, they should treat others like a person and not act like some stupid jerkface umu."

It was clear she wasn't about to apologize anytime soon.

The grin had returned. Perhaps he'd get through to her the way he knew best.

"It must be easy for a Rosso to treat people like mere things. Too self absorbed in their own world to realize that those things were the people they crushed." Jack scoffed. "Figures that one would shift all blame from themselves." He then mockingly mimicked Bianca's voice. "You must realize that you've become sub-human because of your own faults, nevermind that people like my family destroyed the lives of things such as yourself, oomoo."

The smirk disappeared once again. "I may be a scumbag who shoots off insults and mess with people for kicks, but even I don't go as far as to devalue their lives." Jack began to walk away with an empty look when he formed eye contact with Basil. Jack nodded and said "Yeah Basil's right. It's getting late. Sorry."

Bianca completely ignored Whoever, and continued to pat Velos on the back. He wasn't wroth listening to anyway. If he'd like to completely misinterpret whatever she said like a complete moron, it wasn't her place to stop him. He's dumber than she is.

Instead, she turned to look at Basil and smiled apologetically at Basil. "Sorry about that, umu, there was some really strong wind just now! It blew that pillow away! I think I'm gonna opt out of the pillow fight!"

She turned back to Vel.

"Sooo, you okay?"

"Sorry, foxy, you was in the way!", Jeanne said, before stopping as she saw Bianca tending to Velos. "Um...this mean the pillow fight's off?"

Sure, Jeanne wanted to whack Bianca with a pillow some more, but even she wasn't the kind of person who'd attack someone helping a possible injury.

...This is a fucking mess.

That was the only way Velos could describe this situation. Barring Jackass's comments that started this whole debacle off, he decided to escalate matters (What the hell was I thinking? No, don't dispute Jack, throw a freaking pillow, that always solves things.), Bianca called Jack a thing (Which frankly concerned him as well), which prompted Jack to throw the pillow back at her, and now everyone was wound up and aggravated. And all because he tried to give another student advice.

I swear to God, the Grimm could break down this room right now and it'd only make things slightly worse. When am I going to learn to stop making impulse decisions?

"I'm fine," he finally muttered bitterly, activating his semblance again as he picked up his pillow and headed back to his sleeping bag. "We better get to sleep soon. Knowing our luck, Initiation is going to be long and rough..."

Just let today be over with...

Blaze

"Get back here, Cyclaman." So it was her, after all. Figured. If one had butlers doing their every whim, it was obvious they were no mere mortal, especially not at Beacon. Thus, a noble. Ugh, he could see himself back in a day, when he didn't know anything. "You're a piece of shit, you have to apologize, but I'm not letting that slide."

Now he focused his eyes on Bianca. Unlike earlier, it seemed Blaze was entirely serious and not in the mood for flirting. "That high-and-mighty attitude is not gonna fly here, Missy. I know it must be amazing to have a private servant at your every whim" Violet shot the redhead a dirty look. "and a nightie worth more than half of this room, but he doesn't deserve that kind of treatment despite the shit he pulled. Nobody does."

"How dare you insinuate that-" Violet's controlled outburst was entirely ignored as Blaze turned back to Jack.

"And you, Cyclaman, I've told you already; you're a piece of shit. You like messing with people, you just said that yourself. All these tricks and sophistry? Normally I'd beat the shit out of you for half that. But" The redhead took a moment to rub his temple in irritation, finding it increasingly harder to stand by him. "you're a classmate, or perhaps even a teammate, mine, Bianca's, whoever's. It's in our best interest that we can all if not love then at least tolerate each other, understand? Because if not, one of us will be left for themselves, and Grimm won't ask why."

"So, here's what we're gonna do. You, Cyclaman, apologize to everybody you've slighted. You, Rosso, apologize to him for calling him a thing. Then kiss and make up."

"You've some nerve, Mr. Koller." Violet finally got back into the talking game, glaring at the redhead. "Mistress had the right of it. The man over there is nothing but a troublemaker and a vagrant."

"Too bad I don't care what you think, Alberta."

"Okay!" Bianca chirped as Velos walked off to go to sleep. She honestly couldn't blame him, what with everything that happened. Giving him a last friendly hug, Bianca turned to pick up her pillow when Blaze walked up and started talking.

As Blaze went on, a confused expression appeared on her face, which turned into a slightly perplezed frown.

"Umu? High and mighty? I'm sorry, but I'm stupid, so can you please explain what you mean? Or maybe I messed up in talking?"

She laughed a bit sheepishly, scratching the back of her head.

"Ahhh, I don't do....fancy talking all that well. Ummm, Papa always said to treat other peoole the way tgey treat you, so since he was treating people with zero respect, like we weren't people anf just things to amuse himself with, I thought I'd do that too...hmmm, yeah, maybe I offended everyone else?"

She lightly whacked herself on the head and smiled apologetically at everyone.

"I'm really sorry if you were offended umu! I swear, I didn't mean anything bad by it, especially anything discrim...uhh, racist. Classist? Anyway, I'm so so sorry, I'm dumb."

And once again, she waved Violet down.

"Vi, I can talk on my own."

Jayce glanced up from his laptop. While it was reassuring to see some people who seemed to have their heads on their shoulders and being capable of being mature to a degree, the fact these childish antics were happening wasn't boding well as he gave a small nod of agreement with Basil.

"Yes, it would be quite unfortunate if people were expelled before Initiation even begun, or someone getting injured, even if it is throwing mere pillows or words around. Both can wound and if that's the case...well, if you find yourself fighting alongside them tomorrow, you're simply making things harder for yourselves." Jayce sighed as he adjusted his tie, trying to look and sound stern despite being somewhat tired...and a little annoyed even if SOME people finally seemed to have gotten the hint. ...Or sort of.

With very few people interested in tea at this point, L.I.L.I simply left the tray on a table before glancing between Suzu and Gustavus, uncertain on who to cheerfully introduce herself to next before merrily hovering over the robotic dog. "Hiiii~? Hello~? Can you speak~? Or, uh, at least converse~?"

"Tell you what, I'll think about it, sleep on it, come back tomorrow with one. Yeah? Yeah." Jack straight faced pointed finger guns at those he acknowledged that he slighted, and clicked his tongue.

Before heading to his things, Jack told Cinnabar he was reading a nice book, since that was some-what the original reason Jack walked over in the first place. Afterwards, he strolled off to his worn-down sleeping back.

"Jack again," Velos grumbled out in response to Suzu's question as he sat back down on his sleeping bag, before letting out a sigh. "I swear to God, if he ends up on our team, our time at Beacon's going to end up long and aggravating."
