Not saying anything more to the others, as her focus was on finding food, Honey continued walking towards the where she remembered the ballroom to be. Looking around her, she saw the slightly blurred shapes of the few students who were still roaming about, and wondered what their faces looked like, wishing she could see them as she could back when she was younger. Honey held the door open for whoever was behind her, and began strolling casually through the halls. Suddenly she remembered something she had wanted to ask Turner. Spinning fully around and walking backwards, she would open her mouth to say something but crashed into a hard object before she could get a word out. Her feet slipped, and she started to fall forward except something reached out and grabbed her arm, steadying her. When she got her footing back, her head turned as she wanted to thank whoever had kept her from falling. [color=gold]"Oh ah... thank you for-- OHMAGAWD!"[/color] Her thank was cut off as she saw who it was, shreiking and hopping away. [b]"Are you alright, Miss Lawson?"[/b] [color=gold]"Ah, well.. uh, I- You..."[/color] Face turning red, Honey stepped farther away from Ozpin. She was beyond embarassed as she couldn't tell what kind of expression he had on his face. Though she was sure he was mad. [color=gold]"I'm so sorry... I r-ran into you!"[/color] she said. [color=gold][i]Oh gosh, how does he even know my name?[/i][/color] she wondered, head spinning from it all. [b]"It's quite alright. Though I would advise you walk properly to keep from causing an accident."[/b] he said, stepping closer to her and placing a hand on her shoulder. [b]"All the first years are to gather in the ballroom, just down the hall here. There is dinner being served there. I advise you all eat and get well rested."[/b] He said, addressing the group then. [color=gold]"Y-yes sir!"[/color] Honey managed to say through her nervousness. After nodding, his hand would lift from Honey's shoulder as he stepped around her. Shifting his mug from the hand that held his cane as well, to his free hand. He sipped the drink in his mug and strolled off in a different direction without another word. Ranulf glanced back at the others of the group, nodding once, before trudging on. Food was calling. Honey's knees were shaking and she walked back into a wall before sliding down and covering her face in her hands. [color=gold]"Of all the ways to have a first impression!! I totally failed!"[/color] she wailed dramatically. [color=gold]"My life is over. I'll never get him to--"[/color] he head lifted as she smelled food. Jumping to her feet, her eyes widened. [color=gold]"I smell food! Lets go!"[/color] she would say to the others before dashing off towards the ballroom. From behind, entering the ballroom as Ozpin left, a very small, brightly colored girl appears before Honey. [color=71EEB8]"You do realise he was the headmaster when my Grandpa was a little kid, right?"[/color] Honey stopped in her running and looked at the girl who stood before her. Narrowing her eyes, Honey tilted her head to the side. [color=gold]"Move it pipsqueak. You're seperating me and my food."[/color] she said, stepping around the girl and ignoring the comment about Ozpin's age. Honey quickly entered the ballroom and dissapeared inside amongst the mass of students. Nor smirked as he watched the scene unfold glad to seen Kanika had seemed to have found a new target to focus her robust attentions on. He could see a possible time bomb coming to a head, but he figured it'd be safer to keep back for the time. He'd step in if it got out of hand, but he could use the entertainment. Though something about the new addtion tickled something in the back of his mind, feeling he'd seen her somewhere before, but the memory evaded him for the moment. With Pax finally catching up to Honey's pace, [i][color=9A2EFE]What a quick one.[/color][/i] he said, yawning lazily after expending alot of reserved energy. Managing to catch the last part of girl he didn't know saying something about her Grandpa. Pax, in his confusion, [color=9A2EFE]"Who's the midget?[/color] he accidently said outloud rather than thinking. Suddenly, without warning, Kanika struck. going from her rather excessive but friendly demeanour to a blank expression of rage. The pint-sized brawler launched herself from a standing position, delivering a closed-handed strike to the pretty-boys chest, followed by a kick to the stomach at lightning speed. [color=71EEB8]"I may be short, but I'm no midget."[/color] she says, an er calmness in her voice as she lands once more on the ground, cracking her knuckles loudly Pax was on the floor, he had activated his semblance too late. Groaning all the while, then realizing that the floor was really comfy, he almost fell asleep there but regained his composure and stood up, clutching his stomach, [color=9A2EFE]Well then, fighting back's too troublesome.[/color] The soothing call of the warm, yet subtly cold floor called out to him, he laid back down in false groans. [color=9A2EFE]"You got me, zzz"[/color] he managed to utter before entering light slumber. [color=71EEB8]"Get of the floor, you pansey."[/color] the small girl shouts, kicking him roughly in the side. [color=71EEB8]"We're just getting started."[/color] Ranulf hummed cheerfully within his mind, walking over to the condiments section of the ballroom, a large tray stacked with delicious beef burgers balanced on one hand. A fight was going on near the entrance of the room...a very small girl had apparently knocked out a taller, leaner young man...Sax? Whatever...the guy could take care of it. He was around Ranulf's own age. However, seeing something he detested in fights - ground kicks, especially against a defenseless opponent, the boy frowned and walked over to the scene, not bothering to look at the fighters, other than a sidelong, arched eyebrow-glare at the small girl. He simply grabbed the purple-haired dude...Pax, right? By the collar, and continued to his seat. Nor sighed again, more deeply as he watched another scene unfold, rubbing his temple and staying quiet through it all. [color=71EEB8]"WEAK!"[/color] Kanika yells, slouching her shoulders dejectedly and making her way towards the buffet, comandeering an entire plate of fried scallops before making her way to a random table. The scream had managed to jolt Pax awake, shaking himself off of Ranulf's grip, he began dusting himself off, [i][color=9A2EFE]Kicking a person when he's done, ouch.[/color][/i] Though the smell of food allured him, and he forgot the slight pain for a while. He sets down on a table where Ranulf began [i]literally[/i] wolfing down on his food. [color=9A2EFE]"Great table side manners."[/color] he said sarcastically before propelling off to the buffet. Grabbing a plate, he put one of almost everything down and began to walk back, trying to avoid the ever-watchful gaze of the scary midget. Propping back down to the table, he began eating slowly, and watchful of [i]her.[/i] He did notice some students eyeing him for some unbeknownst reason, slyly activating his azure blue aura, and producing it around him managed to pry the eyes away. Ranulf snorted, swallowing a large chunk of chicken. Dropping the picked-clean bone, the red-haired boy looked over to Pax, his gaze narrowing, almost turning crimson in it's intensity. "How'd you lose to a sucker-punch?" He spoke up, annoyance coating his tone as he closed his eyes, grabbing another chicken leg, and biting the entire top piece off. With a shrug, [color=9A2EFE]"Didn't start anything nor waste energy, it's precious y'know."[/color] he said, in between bites. "Hmph. Bullshit." Ranulf chewed the food, before swallowing it all. A smirk was on his lips, however, taking any real bite out of the words. A little girl with a punch strong enough to floor a pretty well-built dude. "God damn it." He had a feeling that it would become a bitch to deal with later on. Ranulf glanced over to the exit as he chewed. Where would they be going after this? [color=9A2EFE]"Did you just 'hmph', what are you, a tsundere."[/color] he scoffed at the red head. [color=9A2EFE]"Oh was your name Rudolph by the way?"[/color] "Fuck off." Ranulf didn't even bat an eyelash, gulping down the rest of his water, before crushing the can in his fist. Recycling's important, right? "Name's Ranulf, Pac-Man." [color=9A2EFE]"Yeah that's what I said Rudolph the red nosed-"[/color] he cut himself off with light snickering before engrossing himself with food again, activating his semblance so that he could react to any violent repurcussions. Ranulf's right eyebrow twitched, before he blatantly picked up a piece of lettuce from his side-salad. Crunching it into his ball, the boy stood, before twisting and sending it blasting forward like a bullet, straight at Pax's temple. "Rudolph this." Without pausing, he grabbed another lettuce-ball, sending it flying forward with a crack of the shoulder. Dodging it ever so 'gracefully', with a sigh, [color=9A2EFE]"Be civilized, Rudolph."[/color] he said, [color=9A2EFE]"My semblance is on already, chill."[/color] also slightly rousing his aura around him. Ranulf frowned, slowly breathing out. His now crimson eyes calmed down to their usual intense orange, and he sat, brushing stray lettuce off of his plate of meat. "Dick." He growled, taking another bite out of his burger. [center][b][i]~Later that night~[/i][/b][/center] As the night dragged on and the other first years around her began to sleep, Honey had a tough time falling out, despite her tummy being full of the yummy goodness that had been served for dinner. Honey was still thinking about her failed first impression with Ozpin. She was telling herself things weren't all lost. She was [i]forced[/i] into that awkward situation by bad luck. There was still time.. this was only day one, and not all hope was lost. [color=gold]"I'll have his heart yet!"[/color] she shouted excitedly, getting complaints from a few others who were trying to sleep. After mumbling an apology, Honey felt content to try for sleep again. Closing her eyes, she relaxed and allowed sleep to consume her. [color=71EEB8]"Still creepy!"[/color] Kanika shouts, burying her head in a turtle shaped pillow. Only causing Honey to mutter a curse to herself in anger. [hr] [quote=Goodwitch] [i]"Would all first year students please report to Beacon Cliff for initiation. Again, all first year students, report to Beacon Cliff, immediately."[/i] [/quote] The next day, Honey was walking through the room where many students had apparently placed their things. They had been assigned lockers to keep, who knows what inside. Her only goal was to just locate her locker: Number 144 it was. After finding it and memorizing how to get to it, the message from Goodwitch rang through the room. [color=gold]"Beacon Cliff? Where is that?"[/color] she wondered aloud as she started to follow some students who were leaving. Then she thought to check that she had everything she needed. The rumors of initiation and teams were all troubling ones. Apparently it was going to be tough, and Honey had to make sure she was combat ready. Unnoticed, Kanika slips out, following Honey towards the locker room [i][color=71EEB8]"She seems interesting enough,"[/color][/i] the huntress in traiing thinks to herself, stopping briefly at locker #9 to strap on her greave and gauntlets. the small girl slips a few extra magazines into her belt pooches, following after the silver haired girl once again. Checking Seraphine and making sure she had plenty of ammo, it took Honey only a short time to prepare herself. All she needed now, was the confidence that she could do this. After training to hard to get into Beacon, she wasn't going to let anything keep her from going to the school. One day in and she already never wanted to leave. And hell, she hadn't even gotten a chance to kill anything yet. Following the few to Beacon Cliff, Honey lined up with all of them, noticing Ozpin standing only a few feet away from her. Face turning red, she looked down at her feet and stayed quiet, hoping she wouldn't be noticed. Watching as some others she remembered from yesterday had come to stand with her, she was less nervous. A lot of these guys looked really cool all geared up, and her curiosity temporarily made her forget her nervousness. As Honey stepped into line, so too did the brightly haired terror, standing immediately to her left. Honey noticed this and gave a smile to the girl, also waving nicely, she recieved a toothy grin and a thumbs up in return as the bright eyed girl prepard herself to be launched [quote=Ozpin] [i]For years you have trained to become warriors, and today your abilities will be evaluated in the Emerald Forest."[/i] [/quote] [quote=Goodwitch] [i]Now, I'm sure many of you have heard rumors about the assignment of teams. Well, allow us to put an end to your confusion. Each of you will be given teammates... today."[/i] [/quote] [quote=Ozpin] [i]These teammates will be with you for the rest of your time here at Beacon. So it is in your best interest to be paired with someone whom you can work well. That being said, the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next four years. After you've partnered up, make your way to the northern end of the forest. You will meet opposition along the way. Do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path... or you will die. You will be monitored and graded for the duration of your initiation, but our instructors will not intervene. You will find an abandoned temple at the end of the path containing several relics. Each pair must choose one and return to the top of the cliff. Well, thats enough from me. Are there any questions? Good, now take your positions."[/i] [/quote] Looking down at the platform she was standing on, Honey wondered what in the world they were for. Then suddenly a loud woosh was heard and someone was literally launched into the sky. Pink eyes widening, Honey smiled. [color=gold]"Nice!"[/color] Unhooking Seraphine from her belt, Honey reached into a small pouch at her leg and pulled out a few dust bullets, arming her weapon with them before crouching. [color=gold]"Always wanted to fly!"[/color] she would say before being launched into the sky herself.
