[i]'Ohmanohmanohmanohman! Ah yes... This is gonna be great.'[/i]

It was quite evident Gram was an excited little bugger. It was in the way he smiled, in his happy little wave to all his friends further down the platforms, and in that manic glint in his narrowed eyes. He had gotten a few odd looks from some of the other students, likely due to his distinct lack of weapon and the general look that made it seem that he wasn't exactly a disciplined martial artsy type. Which he wasn't. 

The silence from the two staff members supervising them was broken by Professor Ozpin beginning their briefing. Apparently they were to search for materials within the forest, and the first person they made eye contact with would be their partner. Gram supposed he would've wanted Elly or Blaire as his potential partners, but making new friends was always fun. He looked down to the forest below and grinned. To him, it was less a dangerous wilderness and more a glorified playground.

Gram grinned widely. Hopefully they wouldn't mind him damaging some of the property, hehe.

Once the briefing speech finished, they were all launched into the air from their platforms. Which was strange, as nobody got to ask any questions even though Professor Ozpin had asked. 

Gram soared through the air rather casually. He had no idea what exactly to [i]do[/i], as there wasn't much he could do while flying at high speeds, several meters in the air. 

[i]'Ah. There's the ground,'[/i] Gram thought, [i]'Now how do I wanna land...? Cool and stylish, casual and rela-.'[/i]

The grey hunter slammed into the ground heels-first, creating furrows in the ground as he slid along, shaving off momentum. Once he came to a complete stop, Gram blinked a few times before stepping out of the furrows and picking a direction to wander off towards.

Atalanta smirked in anticipation as she lowered her rectangular goggles over her eyes. She assumed a sprinting stance as Professor Ozpin gave his briefing. Part of her wanted to tell the white-haired professor via strategic yelling to get on with the show, but she knew that would probably get herself in trouble for something like that. 

The forest below was a very good place for Atalanta to operate. The trees would provide great anchors for her grapnel lines, so she could just easily slingshot her way throughout the entire area super quickly and efficiently. The ability to maneuver around quickly would be a great asset in this particular challenge, that was for sure. Though she [i]had[/i] made an agreement with Isaac to meet up, and it wasn't as if she didn't have a reason [i]not[/i] to. 

Whatever. It wasn't good to worry about these things anyway. Just focus on the here and now. Suddenly, the first student was launched, then the second, third, and so on. She mentally counted down as the launching got closer to herself before finally...

"Let's roll," Atalanta grinned before getting fired from her platform.

The diminutive young lady soared through the air like all the rest. Her body was smaller, so she ended up flying much further. As she got closer to the treeline, Atalanta picked out two tree branches further ahead before firing off her grapnels, pulling herself forward, and retracting the anchors back into her gauntlets. With her momentum increased further and a better angle to land from, the orange hooded young lady landed on the ground seamlessly, speeding deeper into the forest.
