[h2][centre]Team [colour=801638]CLaReT[/colour][/centre][/h2]

Cereza scrolled through another news article idly as she returned to the dorm, reading about another series of home robberies. It wasn’t anything serious - just a few people low on their luck by her reckoning - but it had happened enough it was starting to gain the attention of a few of the higher up detectives around town.

Absentmindedly swiping her scroll across the lock, the blonde pushed the door open as she mused about what Midas was doing recently only to stop. Her violet haired teammate was cooing over a ratty looking black bird in the middle of the dorm while a young man with pale skin and extremely dark hair watched in what appeared to be bemusement. The technophile’s mind whirred as she slotted pieces into place in the couple of seconds it took to take in the scene.

[colour=2c75ff]“You are the replacement for Tierra,”[/colour] She stated shortly.

The word replacement seemed to dampen Viola’s mood severely, but the only reaction Dolor could note was a slight twitch in her left eye, [colour=00aeef]“Quite.”[/colour]

Argent stepped into his team’s dorm room to find three people standing around somewhat awkwardly. On one side of the room was Cereza, on the other was a pale, dark haired boy with totally black eyes, some kind of avian Faunus probably, with a crow perched on his arm and standing between the two was Viola, who was looking back and forth between her leader and the newcomer, a slightly strained smile on her face as she attempted to ease the tension. After taking in the scene for a second Argent spoke up. 

[color=8493ca]“I assume you’re the new Team member then?”[/color] Argent addressed the other boy, keeping his voice pleasantly neutral. While the prospect of losing, much less replacing a team member didn’t really sit well with Argent, he would judge this newcomer on his own merits.

Basil’s expression changed from bemusement to a neutral look as his two new teammates entered the dorm. [colour=808000]“Yes, I am your old teammates replacement. Pleasure to meet you all,”[/colour] the faunus replied to the two students. [colour=808000]“I am Basil,”[/colour] he continued, taking a slight bow as he did when introducing himself to Viola and looked expectantly at the pair.

Argent gave a small smile, and stepped forward offering his hand for a shake. [color=8493ca]“Welcome to the team Basil, I’m Argent.”[/color]

Cereza shrugged and made her way past the group to sit on her bed, pulling her boots off. As the lithe girl plugged her scroll into a dock attached to her laptop she introduced herself, [colour=2c75ff]“Cereza. You and Argent can fight over who gets top bunk, I guess.”[/colour]

[color=8493ca]“I’d prefer the bottom bunk, but I’ll take either one really.”[/color]

 [colour=808000] “Well I have no issues with the top bunk, problem solved,” [/colour] the crow faunus began to turn but paused and turned back to his team,  [colour=808000] “While I remember, do any of you have any medical issues? I’d like to know before I start making medicine for any injuries after a battle.” [/colour] the pale boy asked as he began looking through the small black bag on his side before pulling out a black book and quickly scribbling in it.

[color=8493ca]“I don’t.”[/color] Argent replied.

[colour=00aeef]“Nothing comes to mind, my father made sure I did regular checkups,”[/colour] replied the witch, still trying to get the bird to climb on her arm. 

[colour=2c75ff]“You’re a medic?”[/colour] Cereza asked distractedly, typing away at her laptop, [colour=2c75ff]“That’s a useful skill to have on the team. I myself am the computer and technology expert of the team. I don’t have any medical issues that I know of, either.”[/colour]

Basil nodded as he finished scribbling in the book before closing it and returning his gaze to his teammates, 
 [colour=808000] “Good to hear, I won’t have to waste time finding alternative ingredients for my medicines. Now I’m sure you all have something else to do and I need to unpack.” [/colour] 

[colour=00aeef]“Oh! Yes, about that, I don’t suppose you two would be against a little rearranging?”[/colour] said Viola, as she alternated her gaze between her leader and partner, waiting for one to reply.

The hacker raised an eyebrow as she glanced up at the smaller female, looking around the room. Nothing looked out of place in the dorm and the bed situation was handled without any fuss. [colour=2c75ff]“What’s there to reorganise?”[/colour]

Taking a moment, Viola tried to wrack her brain for the best way to word her next sentence; ultimately though, she decided this was one of the few times she would take a page out of her mother’s book and just be frank, [colour=00aeef]“Would you prefer both closets to be mixed, or would you rather swap places with Sir Argent?”[/colour]

[colour=2c75ff]“Oh,”[/colour] Cereza stated, looking over at the two boys. [colour=2c75ff]“Swapping places makes sense, as it would reduce the chance of someone walking in on another person while they were changing and getting all embarrassed, I suppose. Sure, let me grab my stuff. If you agree, Argent.”[/colour]

She half shrugged in acceptance of the idea and stood from her bed, waiting for the silver-haired knight’s answer.

[color=8493ca]“That seems like a prudent idea to me, let’s do it.”[/color]

With that the faunus turned to his baggage and began to unpack, pulling out book, bottles, the occasional bag containing plants or ground up insects and arranged them around the room, generally placing most of the objects on the shelf next to his bunk bed, while the rest were busy swapping clothes and items between the two closets. During this, Dolor stood perched next to the window, idly watching the humans zig zag around the room with what one might have called curiosity. 

It was certainly the loudest the room had been in a long time.
