That is indeed correct.

@PyroDash888

Yes! My memory of the German time zones has not failed me. If only that would help me as I attempt to learn the actual language starting tomorrow.

@PyroDash888

I can try. I'll pm you when I'm available. What time is it for you right now?

@Ryonara

If I remember correctly, Germany is like 9 hours ahead of my time zone, so I think it's 5 in the morning for Pyro.

"Sure thing," Robert said, following Sand back to their team's room. As they walked, the two members of the leaderless team talked about several subjects, mostly relating to Beacon though. Even then, the Altesian girl was still able to find ways to tease the boy, most of the verbal jabs going right over his clueless head.

As the two turned a corner of the hallway that would lead them back to their place of rest and relaxation though, the redhead stopped in his tracks as he recognized a figure ahead. Standing right outside the door of their room, was a girl clad in pink, with a fist raised to the door as if to knock. For the couple, time seemed to have stopped, their breaths catching in their throats as they looked at the one who they'd promised their hearts too. "Priscilla? Is it really you?" Robert asked in disbelief.

"Robbie?" she replied back, eyes watering with tears of joy.

And with that small exchange of names, time began again as the couple ran into each other's arms. Robert was holding back tears, but Priscilla couldn't hold back the waterworks. They stood there for what might have appeared like forever to any casual observer, but to them it didn't feel like any embrace could be long enough. "You disappeared. I couldn't find you no matter how hard I looked. Daniel or Greyson either. I- I thought you were gone forever. I was afr-"

Priscilla pressed a finger to his lips and soothingly told him, "Shh. It's okay. I'm back now, Robbie," before leaning close and planting a kiss on his lips. It had felt like a lifetime since the two had done that. When they finally separated, the girl smiled at her boyfriend and told him, "I promise to explain everything... as soon as we find a more private place to talk."

Taking her hand in his, Robert smiled the widest smile he had ever made and told her, "I know exactly the place." And with that, the couple took off, leaving Sand in their dust, likely confused and bewildered.

When Robert finally left the hospital room he had called home the past couple days, the first thing he did was stretch out his limbs. A couple cracks could be heard from his joints as he moved around, but nothing at all out of the ordinary. Once he'd finished, the boy turned to Sand who appeared to have been patiently waiting for him by the door like she had said she would do. "Hey, sorry for taking so long. The nurse liked to drone on about how to not injure myself so much and to make sure to keep future wounds clean so they aren't infected again," he said, obviously not having much interest in the what they had to say. "So how do I look?"

Considering how before he'd been admitted to Beacon's medical wing, the redhead had been caked in both blood and dirt, before being wrapped in enough bandages to make a mummy jealous with antibiotics pumped into his system almost constantly, Robert actually looked pretty good. In fact, he appeared completely normal, as if the mission had never even occurred. The shrapnel was too small to leave any visible wounds after the past couple days of healing, the scar left from the beowolves' slash across his chest was hidden beneath his shirt, and the mark left behind by the sharp rock that had struck him in the head was hidden by his bangs. All visible wounds left behind by the Taking of Fort Jaegar appeared absent. "Probably like crud still right? At least I feel a lot better. Chest still aches from those broken ribs though."

Just saw you guys talking about Zelda and it reminded me of this:

@Guess Who People's attitude toward police these days sickens me to no end. How is trying to kill someone trying to do their job a good thing?

@Abillioncats

Thank you. People seem to treat them as if they're all racist assholes, but the truth is that they're people just like the rest of us.

I can only think of one time I was attacked on the internet. I found a video someone had posted online that was of them getting detained by the police after being spotted hanging outside the police station with cameras, binoculars, and other recording equipment and basically spying on everyone coming out. The thing was, one of the officers was actually my dad. So when a large majority of commentators were saying shit like how the guy should have attacked/killed the officers because they were doing their job, I was obviously pretty upset. Left a comment calling out everyone supporting assaulting or killing the police as being idiotic and stupid and proceeded to get absolutely shit on by everyone with some pretty vulgar and vile threats and insults. To this day I'm still angry when I think back to it, but I really should have expected what I got.

Just watched the newest World of Remnant episode? Am I the only one who's curious to know more about what happened during that final battle? Sounds super intense and epic if it caused all three other kingdoms to decide they wanted to have the King of Vale in charge.

When Sand entered his room, she found Robert absentmindedly staring out the window. With no other sources of entertainment like a book or video game, he didn’t have much else to pass the time with other than conversations with the nurses and any visitors that might come his way. Hearing the door open, the red haired boy turned to face his new team member, giving her a bright smile. The bandage over his head still remained as well as a few of the band-aids that covered the small cuts where the doctors had removed shrapnel from the explosive, but other than that he looked almost normal. “Oh hey, Sand. Yeah, I’m feeling a lot better now,” he told her.

Seeing her pull out a paper bag, his eyes focused on the object as he wondered what it could possibly contain. “Ooh, muffins? Cool,” Robert said, reaching his hand in and pulling out whichever kind was at the top. Quickly taking a bite without first checking what it might have been baked with, the taste of blueberries assaulted his tastebuds. Not exactly the boy’s favorite flavor, but he didn’t want to hurt the girl’s feelings so he avoided making any sort of negative facial reaction.

“What’d you ask? How am I feeling? Hmm…” the red haired boy replied, giving the question some serious thought before replying. “Like I said, I am feeling better. Kinda bored though. Not much to do here except rest and mope around. Ozpin told me that I’m no longer leader of the team, but I think… I think I’m okay with that honestly. It’s a lot of responsibility that I don’t think I was ready for. Sure, I was disappointed at first, but now that I’ve had time to think, the position seemed to fit better with one of the others. Speaking of which, what are you still doing here? Shouldn’t you have gone back to Atlas? Was it Atlas? It was Atlas right?”

“It was Atlas,” she confirmed with a wry smile. “Was. My transfer papers were approved some time ago. Didn’t think I’d arrive at Beacon the way I did, though.”

Robert nodded along as Sand explained her situation. When it appeared she had finished speaking, he asked, “So what’s the name of the team you’re on? Maybe we can do some joint missions or something at some point.”

The girl leaned back, looking at him meaningfully. “Don’t know yet, but I think we’ll be working together often enough.”

“What makes you say that?” he asked.

She tilted her head. “Just a hunch. Happens that the other members spell R, T and G.”

“Really? That’s the letters for my team too. What a coincidence.” Sand’s expression remained neutral, but as the words left his mouth the girl’s normally stern eyes seemed to sparkle, like a cat that had found a new toy.

She nodded knowingly. “Scary, right?” she said in a conspiratorial tone. “Well hear this. G is a faunus, doesn’t seem like he likes R much.”

“Hey, Grane’s a faunus too. Pretty sure he’s not a big fan of me either,” Robert said, still not understanding yet what Sand was hinting at.

She hummed in agreement, but continued. “T seems like the calmest of the three. Like he tries to smooth things out between the rest.”

“That sounds like Trad,” he said with excitement.

“Yeah. R got injured recently, though, and it’s got him worried. He’s in this infirmary too.”

“Sounds like it’d be a good idea to meet with them after you’re done talking with lil’ ol’ me.”

“Already did, actually. Brought him breakfast and everything.”

“Did you get him muffins too?” her teammate asked, still oblivious.

“Yes. In fact, and listen close because this is the clincher—”The girl drew closer, as if to tell him a secret, complete with discrete looks over her shoulder. “His name happens to be Robert.”

At this point, Robert was beginning to catch on. Squinting his eyes at her with suspicion, he asked her, “Does his last name happen to be Fallson?”

Sand looked at him with dancing eyes. “Amazing, right? What a time to be alive.”

“Yeah, what a coincidence,” the boy repeated, this time with heavy amounts of sarcasm.

A pleased smirk broke through her serious expression. “You can be rather dense, you know?”

“I’d take offense to that if it probably wasn’t true,” was his only response as he lied back in his bed and made himself more comfortable. “Welcome to the team, Sand.”

“Thank you. Looking forward to working with you.”
