Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Any chance I could join you guys?

@Trevor1001

Snowball's chance in Hell.

Just kidding. Ask Lugubrious and prep a character sheet.

@harinezumikouken Would you be okay waiting until Lucius puts his post up and for me to put up a post? I figure if we work quick we can get to where you guys are.

@Pannette

Sure, Airships can wait to liftoff.

Or have engine start up failures.

Either due to Robert's luck or...a 'Shiro Mishap'

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Dammit. Uh, yeah, Gren will arrive. Might have to do some retroactive stuff. Damn my gaming addiction.

@Lucius Cypher

What game?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Urgh, I thought by giving it a day I'd be able to figure out how to make my post longer. I hate it whenever I make a post this short.

@Guess Who

Same, boss. And @Lugubrious I didn't intend on having y'alls characters rush. I just didn't want to have Cobalt, Robert, and Shiro chit chat for too long.

There could be other airships :3

I wasn't really into table tops until my wife got me to play Dead of Winter and House on the Haunted Hill something or other. Turns out to be pretty fun.

Kuhaku Shiro - Airship Docks

Again Shiro frowned, his head tilted as he narrowed his eyes in a slightly disappointed look. When Cobalt took his hand to shake it, the lack of firmness in his grip further deepened Shiro's distrust of the boy. Minus additional points to his first impression of him for a weak handshake. But maybe he was being a bit too harsh in his judgement, at least he seemed cordial enough and returned the boy's smile by also grinning. After a brief silence, the boy apologized for his rude interruption. Shiro smiled and placed Scoot onto his shoulders. Raising both of his hands and shaking his head, he assured Cobalt, "Oh no! It's quite alright, boss. No harm, no foul." The boy then seemed to notice Scoot and took an immediate interest in him. Scoot looked up at the newcomer and sniffed at him, only to curl into a ball and rest on Shiro's shoulders. Completely disinterested in Cobalt, almost boredly so.

Seeing the rodent's blase' reaction to Cobalt, Shiro laughed and scratched at his ears. Before the three of them could say anything more, the next Airship had come in and was making its touchdown. As it landed and its bay doors opened, a group of students filed in. Quickly filling it. Ears perking, Shiro took off to hurriedly get a spot to sit or stand before they would have to wait longer. "You all coming? Don't want to wait for the next ship do you? We can talk on the ride to the city!" He beckoned towards his friends to not linger.

Seeing your new character's Semblance @Plank Sinatra I think her, Emerald, and Shiro would make an unstoppable trio.

Kuhaku Shiro - Airship Docks

Shiro absently sniffed at the air and could smell blood drawn, which worried him while at the same time confused him. Why Robert would blatantly lie and even go so far as to hide his hand behind his back was beyond him. Needless to say however, the lie marred Shiro's initial impressions of the red-haired student. Tilting his head, his train of thought was redirected in its path when Robert questioned him about his history of insect bites.

"No, can't say I've ever been bitten by a venomous spider. I'd imagine it'd be pretty lethal and painful though." Looking up at the skies above to search his thoughts, Shiro continued after scratching the back of his head and laughing. "Don't think I'll make it a habit to get bitten though. You make it sound like a pretty troublesome event." He was about to ask if maybe Robert was speaking from experience, but the next question again redirected his train of thought. "Oh, me? I was going down into the city to maybe look to get a little music player and some earbuds to go with it. Other than that, I don't have any plans. What about you?"

Before anyone else could get another word in, a blue-haired student sitting at a nearby bench situated on the Airship docks butted into the conversation. The new stranger laughing obnoxiously as he did so. Shiro frowned, his tail swaying to and fro. His ears twitching anxiously. The boy then went on to detail his own 'personal' Broodling bite story, but there was something about his tone that he carried on with that didn't sit right with Shiro. It sounded and felt dishonest, as if he were boasting. As the boy stood and approached them, he introduced himself as Cobalt. His appearance reminded him of another student in his classes, Shiro thought. "Can't help but think he looks a lot like someone else...Anyways, I shouldn't be rude and quick to judge."

Smiling, Shiro reached out with his bandaged hands for 'Cobalt' to shake. "Ah, welcome to Beacon Cobalt! Nice to meet you, I'm Kuhaku Shiro. You can just call me Shiro though," Shiro laughed as he finished up his introduction. "Kuhaku's my family name. My last name, if you will. But for some reason my surname comes first."

@Guess Who - You're up, boss.

Kuhaku Shiro - Airship Docks

Shiro's ears perked when a student approached him and introduced himself. Looking up, he stared at the boy for a moment before frowning and tilting his head. His eyes brightened as he recognized the guy. "Robert? Robert Fallson? Oh, yeah! You're in Practice Class with me, aren't you? Yeah, I'm on Team Swansong with Abel." When Robert then reached for Scoot, Scoot crawled up to him and sniffed at the boy's hand. Shiro smiled and nodded, "Yeah, that's Scoot. You've heard about him already?" Looking at the ferret, Shiro was shocked as the creature then nipped and bit at Robert's hand. Telepathically exclaiming, "Bad!"

"Scoot! What are you-!"
Shiro quickly reached down and scooped Scoot up.
"You don't do that! He's a friend of ours, okay?"
Scoot, cradled in Shiro's arms, turned to sniff at the air towards Robert's direction and made an odd growl. "Bad!"
Shiro was surprised to learn that Scoot had learned a new word, but what was exactly 'bad' about Robert? To be honest, Shiro didn't really know the guy very much so he couldn't draw his own conclusions on the man's personality type. But, even still. For Scoot to just bite Robert's finger out of nowhere when he never demonstrated an ounce of malice towards any other student.

Looking up at Robert, Shiro's expression broke down into one of sincere apology. "I'm real sorry about that, he didn't hurt you or draw blood did he? He's never done that before, I don't know why he wouldn't like you." Shiro nervously chuckled as he leaned forward slightly to see how Robert's digits were. Straightening up, Shiro glared at Scoot and pointed a finger at the rodent's face. "Scoot, we don't do that! Bad!" The ferret, not quite understanding what was going on, sniffed and licked at Shiro's bandaged finger.
