private Welcome to Beacon

[Ampharos 1,009]

Gale looked up as the new person walked in, announcing herself as a faunis. He rolled his eyes and twirled his quarter staff one more time before sliding it behind his back. He sat for roughly three seconds before getting bored and took a coin out of his pocket. He began rolling the coin across his knuckles in a sleight of hand.

Crimson smiled with an equally fanged grin. "Nice ta meet ya! My names Crimson, this your first year here as well?" he asked, extending a hoof for a hoof shake, happy to see another faunis, and equally happy that it happened to be a girl faunis. "I's been awhile since I've seen another friendly faunis..." he thought.

'Well, I grew up in a farm. Spent my time not working creating my spear. My dad dropped out halfway through Beacon. I was accepted and got an hotel for 3 days. Got on the airship and now I'm here.' Traveller replied. He noticed her hand hovering over her weapon. 'I don't hate Faunis, if that's what you're thinking about. I don't see a reason to hate Faunis of any kind.' He said as he stared at her hand nearly touching her sword.

 

She blinked, and then noticed his stair. She laughed, "No, it's not a fear of you, it's love of my weapon." She drew it and offered him the hilt. It was a rare honor, one he might never get again. The worn leather looked lovingly cared for and ruthlessly polished. The hilt was buffed to a shine, and you could see a reflection in that blade. After Traveller either accepted the blade for study, or she re-sheathed it, she turned to Crimson and shook his hoof. "Yep. I'm looking forward to it."

Traveller gladly accepted the sword, treating it with care. He knew why she had given it to him carefully. He had broken his first weapon by the miscare of others. He slowly held it and ran his fingers over the blade. 'I can imagine how long this has been your weapon.' He observed as he turned it around and held it out to her. 'You seem to keep that in good condition.'

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She nods, "A warrior's weapon is her life. It could save it, or end it, in a heartbeat." She looked very serious for a moment, then shrugged, "I made that one. It comes with a nice little surprise for a person who'd try to get me at range." She seemed more agitated the longer it was out of her possession, and visibly relaxed when he gave it back. "A pity I couldn't keep my shield though..."

@, 

 

Laughs a little, "Alright, forest of doom, then some tinkering." She hears the announcement and looks at flame. "I'll be off to go wat~" She watched as the guard from earlier blocked off her hiding spot, and stared at her angrily. "..." She laughed to try and hide her anger, "Seems like I won't be having as free of a time as I thought. Want go find our seat?"

'You had a shield?' Traveller asked curiously. 'Glad to know I'm not the only one who has or had a shield.' He remarked. 'Though I guess a fire-whip-blade is a good trade off for no defenses.' He laughed as he looked to the other person sitting on the bench. 'Im a bit of a weapon fanatic.' Traveller said as he sheepishly smiled. Edited January 20, 2014 by Delernil

@,

"Sure" He said as he looked at the guard. "Wow one thing happens and they won't let it go....that's annoying" He said making sure his hat is on his head and won't fall off. "Besides I bet they would hate me if I was just in the engine room for some reason" He added as he found three empty seats.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She grins, "I love sword-and-shield play. Just, I normally forget my shield. In my room, in my locker, in the garden once... It was the school's anyway. I'm hoping they have another at Beacon, or that I could obtain one from another student. One that's not, you know, a personal weapon."

'I don't know if you'd be able to get one from Beacon, but someone could make one. You should check that when we get there.' Traveller suggested as he shrugged again. 'My shields in my spear. I never forget mine.' He smiled as he pulled his spear out and unfolded it, turning it into a shield. 'Its a large shield. Hard to use in tight spaces, but like I said, I'm not close quarters.' He sways as he folded the shield back to its regular javelin state.

"Then we're perfect. Hey, if we teamed up, we could be like, sheild siblings! Like ancient times and such. We'd just have to get your shield a little bigger. And train together. But, I work good in groups! Our synergy'd probably build up pretty quick!"

Gale had been listening in to the conversation in front of him while he twirled the coin and groaned silently when the girl mentioned a team. Ugh we're gonna have to do the team thing aren't we? I wonder if they'd let me just work by myself... I could honestly count as 4 people really...

OOC: Roman shield (the one mine was styled after) are almost as big as a person, lol.

 

'Yeah. If we had two defensive and two offensive, we'd work well.' Traveller remarked. 'I wonder who we get in our teams. I guess we'll find out soon enough.'

 

The airship came down to the overhang. A ramp engenders and connected, and the airship was essentially parked. Within minutes, students were offloading.

 

'We're here. It's about time...' Traveller said as he got up and began moving towards the ramp. He walked down and basked in the hugeness of Beacon Academy.

[Ampharos 1,009]

Gale sighed and smiled slightly, flipping the coin and catching it. He shoved the coin in his jacket pocket as he stood up and began walking towards the ramp. He looked around at some of the other students. There was a couple more faunis than he would've expected, considering how discriminated they often were. He shrugged to himself and fixed his holsters, which held his proudly displayed chain scythes.

Crimson smiled. "Cool, I'm looking forward to my experience here too, but to be honest, I'm a bit afraid that someone will accuse me of being apart of the White Fang, on account of how many people distrust faunis around here...it's happened to me more than you'd think, actually...that's why I'm gonna be hiding my faunis features from everyone except you and Traveler over there..." he said with a sigh, as he got up and stretched.

'Cmon you guys! We need to get moving!' Traveller called as the two prepared to leave. 'They should be getting everyone together right now. We get out rooms and teams!' He added as he ran back to them. 'This place is huge. I'll be surprised if someone doesn't get lost here...'

She nods and says, "Alrighty. But wait, don't we get thrown into some kind of trial to determine who gets put where based on abilities, strengths, and weaknesses?" She puts a hand to her chin, "I think I heard that there was an orientation, and then we get thrown into the woods." She stretched her form, not to conscious of what the guys might see (due to apathy) and scratched behind her ear. "I think I'll keep my wardrobe the same. No sense in hiding what I am; they want to pick fights, it's their own problem." She moved to follow Traveller.

Crimson blushed slightly. "Er...right...of course..." he said absentmindedly. "Well...that was...interesting...I think I'm gonna like her!" he thought, before gathering his bags and following the other two towards what Crimson assumed to be the orientation area.

She laughs at Crimson, "Uh, Traveler, I don't think that's the school. I think it's just a quick Dust stop to refill classroom supplies." She slid her hourglas figure down the side of a wall and looked at the sky through a window, "Wow, that cloud looks like a monkey."

Flame woke up and noticed they arrived. "Hey Lost we arrived a beacon time to wake up" He said tapping her on her shoulder. "The air ship will throw you off if you are still on anyways" He said Meanwhile while most of the students went to beacon the one that were given the letter were met by one of their teachers

Crimson skidded to a halt behind her, and looked out the window, realizing that she was right, it was just a short pit stop for a supply of dust, most likely for hunting purposes. "Huh...I guess your right...it does kinda look like a Monkey...weird..." he said slowly.

'Oh...well that explains all the crates then...' Traveller said as he remembered seeing piles of crates everywhere. 'So I guess Beacon student don't overpack after all.' He mused as he lay his weapon against the wall. He looked outside. 'Yeah, I guess that Dust will go towards Beacon's weapons. Wonder why they have weapons anyway...'

Gale sighed in frustration as he sat back down. He took the coin out again and once again started twirling it across his knuckles. Idiots. Guess I should have payed more attention instead of following the other students here. Shoulda known they couldn't differentiate a prestigious academy from a crappy Dust warehouse.

Flame over heard what was being said and sighed. "I guess we aren't at Beacon yet after all" He said. "Well...they are loading a lot of dust so thankfully it may be distributed to everyone...I won't need any though since I got some already" He said half asleep still.

Gwyn's eyes locked on the back of Gale's head as her ears flicked. Breathing is irregular, slightly ragged. Actions indicate irritation, shown in the way he's flipping the coin, as well as boredom based on the fact he's flipping it. Judging by this, I'd say he's frustrated. He hasn't said a word, at least since I've been here.
