Hot.

That's honestly all Vacuo was. Hot. More than once had Fiona been grateful that they were zipping through the plains instead of being on foot, though one side of her neck was a little warmer. Having chosen the front seat, the last thing she wanted was her long hair assaulting the poor souls behind her, so she had chosen to hold it in place with her right hand. Despite the building heat, she figured it probably would have been easier if she had just chosen to tie it. Oh well, it was her own fault, she had definitely been warned about the heat. Then again, being told one thing and experiencing it was another thing.

Letting out a tiny exhale, Fiona stared up at the sky. Not a cloud in sight to offer any shade! It was troublesome, but she figured listening in would take her mind off the heat, if only for a little while. Introductions were long overdue, but she had to admit she wasn't too keen on the idea. Her name was easy enough, but what qualified as 'interesting'? As she tried to think, she felt Nivea's nudge, feeling like that was her cue to speak up, though she was beaten to the punch. Shoot, she really needed to get on that faster.

Still, when there was a chance, she hesitated. No, no need for that. New start. "I'm Fiona," She decided to speak up as clearly as possible. "And I studied dust primarily before coming here. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

That was fine, right? It was sort of interesting. She did genuinely enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and it wasn't always expected with a combat-focused academy. Unless it was? Well, not standing out wasn't the worst thing. She continued to hold her hair in place, returning her gaze to the landscape.

Fourteenth Bell, 6th of the Great Tree Moon
"Keep those chins up! We're about halfway there!

The call had come from the front-most carriage, Michail's voice booming all around. While it was common knowledge that this would be the Rose Unit's combat orientation, the distance from the Monastery to the Knights' battle campground was not anticipated. The definition of nearby from knight to student had been underestimated--the trek didn't seem that long, really, but when seated in uncomfortable carriages with little space and a bumpy road that kept sending your shoulders and knees into the person next to you, the novelty wore off quickly. They had been trucking along for two hours already, the horses showing impressive endurance. The first carriage held three out of the four professors: Michail at the helm, Euphemia who sat towards the back with a map splayed out on her lap, and a last-second swap from Lysander to Kaira. The latter had to spend her time switching preparing a few last-minute kits and driving the second carriage, though she made sure to hand out the occasional water pouches, a little concerned that the heat would get to the students before they'd arrive.

The second carriage was where all the students had conveniently been stuffed into. It seemed fine when they first were all packed in, with Derec initially volunteering to sit on the floor when there weren't any more seats, but it was hard to debate which was worse once they were actually off, especially as the redhead seemed to go from back to front repeatedly, slowly sliding with every bump in the road. Anyone on a seat had to endure avoiding getting smacked against the back anytime a horse was suddenly spooked and decided to stop (which happened far too frequently for anyone's taste). Tomai drove the last carriage holding the group's weaponry behind the students, though it was obvious he didn't seem to have too much sympathy, looking more bored than anything.

"Ah, the Airmid River is just up ahead," Euphemia rolled up the map, storing it away before carefully standing to make sure everyone would hear her. "We'll be making a brief stop to let the horses drink and everyone can stretch their legs."

"We won't have much time for practice if we stop now," Tomai called back.

"Yes, but we could always camp out for the night and return tomorrow," She pointed out, kneeling down. "Besides, it's been a rough trip, I think the students would do better with a little break."

Trudging along, once they reached the river, everyone was free to get off. Kaira and Tomai charged themselves with checking on the horses while the Kalonic pair double-checked the map. The river wasn't too wide, though it wasn't advisable to cross as its depths couldn't be seen. There was a small, rickety-looking bridge that could support a few people, with a much sturdier stone bridge in the distance.

Tomai shrugged in response, although he looked to his left. "Luin Village is right there, we could get supplies, too--" He paused, squinting. "Hm. I see a rider on a horse coming this way."

Euphemia mimicked Tomai as she squinted, trying to get a better look. "There's two of them," She said, patting Michail to get his attention.

Kaira frowned, looking over to Michail. "Should we get back to the carriages?" She asked him worriedly.

"No. Worst-case scenario, we'd do better making a stand than trying to run away," Michail stated, hopping off as he pulled out his spear. "They look like they're in a hurry, though. Maybe they'll just cross."

"Optimistic, but it looks like they're headed straight here," Tomai pointed out.

"Maybe they need help?" Kaira suggested.

"Then why not go to the village?" Euphemia asked.

Michail frowned as well, eyes narrowing for a moment before he realized something. "Because they're coming from the village," He realized. "They might be under attack."

"And they think three carriages might be helpful?" Euphemia gasped. When Tomai wordlessly gestured to the Knight of Serios' banners on the sides of the carriages, she let out a sheepish laugh. "Oh...well, we have one knight here. What should we do?"
I'll be looking at CSs today, started last night and fell asleep


The only nitpick I'd have to point out is that Nyarlathotep does already exist as a malevolent being, so unfortunately you'd need to pick out another Persona.

@Hero I'm assuming our personas are going to start out pretty weak, so for skills should we just do like one physical and one magical to start off with?


Startn' off with 3 just for funsies
Well, I think I've got everything down, now I just need a picture for me, and to type everything out.
