Interactions: Aeschel Aspro ([@DrTwit]), Cinna Arelle* ([@Ithradine]), Aquarius Haifisch* ([@Agent 47]), Kobalt Zaffre* ([@AGenericUser])[/center][hr]

[color=6ecff6]"I see,"[/color] Xinyue would say occasionally, nodding along with Aeschel as he told her a lot about himself and appearing to take interest in it, before finally saying her piece, [color=6ecff6]"That was certainly a wealth of information you just gave me. I'll be sure to cherish it."[/color]

She was about to introduce herself before the vessel landed on the ground with a great and sudden thud. It was a good thing Xinyue had been sitting this whole time, as the seat had taken the brunt of the impact that she'd have otherwise felt. It was evidently enough to send the standing Beacon Academy candidates, including Aeshel, bowling over themselves. Unfortunately, by the time Xinyue rose from her seat, Aeschel seemed to have been swept away completely by the crowd of candidates rushing to get off. She shook her head in dismay.

[color=6ecff6][i]'Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt if I ever got to see him again, unlike the case for [/i]some[i] people.'[/i][/color] Xinyue thought to herself, [color=6ecff6][i]'I wonder...'[/i][/color]

Contemplating on that chance encounter, Xinyue left to follow everyone else to the Great Hall, being the last candidate to disembark the vessel.

...

Xinyue's first impression of Ozpin, the headmaster of Beacon Academy, would be rather lackluster as of yet. After all, she didn't really learn enough about him as a person from the speech he gave, and didn't have anything to go on as a result. This wasn't helped by the fact that said speech was as short as it was. As for the dinner... well, it looked impressive on the surface, but Xinyue wasn't really all that hungry to begin with now that she thought of it, and the sheer amount of meat that was on display took its toll on her appetite. Supposing she should eat [i]something[/i] in order to keep her strength up for the next day's initiation, Xinyue scrounged around the table for the few acceptable vegetarian options that the feast had presented for her. She left with barely enough to be considered a single meal, which was less than what she could say for some of the other candidates she saw, some of which piled their plates with food, others that had carried more than one with them... and even the odd few that did both. That alone was enough to make her shudder.

With the feast over and done with, Xinyue went and had her shower. She could never understand the appeal of a hot shower; she always preferred the commando style of shower herself, as it was more effective at refreshing her than a warm shower would. Xinyue only took a minute or two to have her shower as well. It may have been questionably short, but it was long enough to get the job done. She changed into another, clean china dress that she had and proceeded to find a smooth wall to lean on. Incidentally, Xinyue managed to find Aeschel nearby the spot that she'd ultimately chose, although he appeared to be already in the midst of a conversation with an entire group of people. Xinyue shouldn't have been surprised in retrospect, as she had to bypass quite the multitude of people herself.

[color=6ecff6]"Ah, [i]there[/i] you are; I was wondering whether I'd see you again before tomorrow,"[/color] Xinyue told Aeshel as she leaned back against the nearby wall and made herself comfortable, before looking over towards the rest of the group that he was with [color=6ecff6]"And who might you lot be, out of curiosity?"[/color]
