Stella felt a smirk skip across her lips in amusement. They were quick to act and use their individual talents. The otter Faunus was the first to act – keeping the water leaking into the ship at bay. It wasn’t long before muscle memory and training had kicked in for the rest of them either. Those who could use their abilities to fight the avian and amphibian Grimm did so, protecting the rest of their teammates from an onslaught. Yue was one of the first to obtain supplies, gathering fifty feet of rope, a ten foot tarp, and some deck brooms. Although, Stella wasn’t too sure what she was going to do with those. Gren managed to locate a few lifejackets – though they were a bit too small for him to wear, and many towels. Absorbent so they may be, they were certainly not enough to reverse the damage that had been done to their vessel. Oswald stood out as someone who was at an immediate disadvantage with his cane, and someone that Stella would have to watch for growth – and for the second stage of this survival exercise. But it was once the cohesion began that the class started to stand a chance at passing the exam. Ashe and Yue were the first collaborators and they managed to locate lifeboats and a means with which to ensure their safety through the use of unrefined water and air dust crystals. Sangue was a force of focusing Gren’s raw talent. Together they managed to cleave a path through plenty of Grimm to open up a secure route for the students to get to safety. They class was already working well together, it was a great sign. Meanwhile Bianca helped keep aerial attacks away from the group as they all boarded the life rafts… Well, almost everyone. Oddly enough Vega and Gratia seemed to be piloting a frog. [color=#6050DC] “Piloting a frog?”[/color] Stella said to herself out loud. [color=#6050DC] “Only at Beacon.”[/color] She pushed the thought from her mind and watched as the rest of the students boarded the rafts and set off for the island. The Mistralese model attempted to ignore the no doubt soaked Negasi on her screens and instead focus on her small upcoming speech. Just don't look at her Stella you're an independent woman and you don't.... [i]Shit.[/i] While it took a bit of time, the Grimm stayed focused on their previous vessel. As the students watched the boat sink into the ocean, the island approached them. It was large, probably at least a hundred acres. It wasn’t until they had all gotten onto the beach that Stella’s voice would ring out once more. [color=#6050DC] “Well done everyone, I knew you’d be able to handle yourselves with grace under pressure.”[/color] She started, fiddling with a small pen, resting it on her bottom lip ever so gently. [color=#6050DC] “You’re next task is twofold,”[/color] she said flicking the pen down to a button on her console that would display the island’s time over the horizon for them. [color=#6050DC] “Currently it is 3:45 on that island. You’ll note that time is moving at a faster pace in the simulation, you’ve only been in for five minutes as of yet. With that being said, you have until 5:00 before an airship will pass overhead. You can, of course, create a bonfire to try and signal them or even draw something out in the sand.” [/color] Stella allowed a moment of silence to fill the air of the island before continuing. [color=#6050DC] “But know that should you fail – a tropical monsoon will reach you by 5:45. Be prepared for the consequences of failure while you’re on a mission – never allow yourself to be caught unaware.”[/color] With that, they were alone again. To decide which path was the best.
