Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

IC: Ben raised his hand. So quickly, in fact, he almost surprised himself. At least a few of the students in the room had seen the cage's behavior and decided against it, but far from dissuading him it urged the hunstman-in-training on. Some of the students here didn't have anything to prove, or their admission to Beacon hadn't ever been in doubt. Ben nearly hadn't made it, even after he got a shot at the entrance exam. He needed to make a good impression. And... Well, to be honest, he liked the thought of a challenge. A taste of what Beacon was going to be like, and what was going to be ahead. What better chance than a live Grimm in class? His opposite hand set down his pencil, recently used for the brief notes needed to summarize the key points and moral of the professor's story. He didn't know the professor would pick him, he doubted he'd be the only one to raise his hand, but it was worth a shot. He had Artorius and Lawnslot with him, why not give it a try? You know, aside from the potential for utterly humiliating himself in front of the professor, the class, and most of his team. That would be rough. But... He didn't think that would happen. Chances were that whatever was in that cage was at a basic enough level for Beacon freshman to handle, and if they could he had to be able to. No risk, no reward, right?

...Maybe I can kill Grimm better with this class, Sangue stated- something blatantly obvious- in her mind.

I thought the last line of her last post was her speaking. If I'm wrong I'll fix it. XD

The thoughts that passed through Ben's head could best be termed as dull bemusement. He had been settling into his seat and digging out something to take notes on when Sangue appeared, taking a seat right next to him. Without much warning, or comment. The team leader was still a moment. Then he blinked, and his normal behavior resumed, almost as though nothing was even remotely unusual. He set his notebook on his desk and glanced at Sangue, nodding. "That's part of its purpose. Don't remember how the course descriptor said it, but it's supposed to teach us to understand what it is we're supposed to fight." Scrawling the date in the upper right of his notebook he paused again, giving her a slight grin. "You're Sangue, right? I don't think we've been introduced, formally, at least." "Hey Trad." He raised a hand in greeting at the second member of BAST, smiling cheerfully. He was, to be honest, pretty aware of what was going through Trad's head. Were it Amy, or anyone else really, he might have made a joke along the same lines. But, unexpected though it was, this was the first time Sangue had really spoken to any of them all day. Probably the best opportunity to establish a relationship he'd get.

Yeesh, I vanish for a few hours and I see references to or the appearance of a couple different people from Nefarious' RWBY game.

"Ah, good to meet you, Sarina." Ben set his fork down, holding out a hand to her. He was a little surprised to be greeted by someone with knowledge of their defense, but he supposed it wasn't improbable. It did probably mean that she wasn't a regular student, though, given how recently they'd been admitted. "Surprised you heard about that, I've got to say. VPD and KPLT handled the end of it, but I guess Ozpin and Goodwitch thought it was worth a second chance." Well. Oz did. Goodwitch didn't look like it. A slight smile accompanied his response, but a loud bell rang before he could say anything more. His eyes moved from the door, to his food, and back to the door. Almost disappointed, he sighed. Looked like he wasn't going to actually get to eat all that much of his lunch after all. He carefully pushed his chair out and stood, picking up his tray and looking back at the group near him. "Guess that's class. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sarina, but looks like we've got to go." He crossed to a trash can in a few steps and dumped his tray, starting to retreat backwards towards the door. This was mostly so he could look at his team while he (slowly) left, but that was probably obvious. "I think we're splitting up for the afternoon. Pretty sure I've got Grimm Studies, so I'll see you guys when we've got a shared class. Or after the day's done, still gotta get our room assignment." Throwing Team Bastion a thumbs up, he turned and stepped out of the cafeteria, following the director notes towards his classroom. Grimm Studies was a fairly common class, as far as he knew, so finding it wasn't too difficult. He arrived only a minute or two later and took a seat near the front, leftmost edge of the classroom. His reasoning for the choice was simple; he was close enough to see, but also not near the center of attention.

So, Lugu, I should have the music teacher's CS done tonight. What do you want done with it when it's ready?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Sorry for my rather belated posting, I haven't been feeling well for a day or two. Got a post done now, though, and I should be feeling better tomorrow. I haven't forgotten to touch up the Music Teacher's CS, I should have it done for tomorrow.

Ben set his tray down with a quiet tap, sinking into his seat. In the interests of efficiency he'd picked the first food he found, the result a heaping pile of spaghetti. A drink had proven much easier, as he nabbed a milk on his way to an open seat. He, after a moment of thought, placed himself in the same vicinity as Sangue without getting too close. His team member seemed to desire a little space, and he didn't think he knew her well enough yet to take a seat opposite or adjacent to her. She didn't seem a particularly bad sort, but she was quiet, and more than a little... Unapproachable. He wasn't sure if it was intentional yet, but it didn't seem like a matter to test so soon after being christened a team. He twirled a fork with one hand, loading it with pasta, but eyes idly swept the lunch room. He wasn't particularly surprised by the sheer diversity of students, but it was a touch of culture shock nonetheless. Not just the students themselves, but the way they carried themselves. He saw more than a few weapons tucked away on their owner's person, and many of his new peers carried themselves with a sense of pride. A few seemed to verge on arrogance, if he was perfectly honest. No one seemed to have paid attention to his team's arrival, so they either didn't know about them, or didn't care. Either was possible, but he found the former a little more likely. The odds of absolutely everyone ignoring a team of washouts was pretty minimal. Then again, he admitted to himself as he took a bite of his food, he was probably over-thinking it. "Food's decent, at least." BAST's leader commented to no one in particular.

Ninety percent chance he does, but old habits die hard. I started to write it at the start of my first few posts here. XD

"Amy, you're distracting. Don't think that covers it." Bastion's team leader shot back, his tone and the grin crossing his face were the easiest indicators that he was joking. He idly ran a hand through his hair, looking thoughtful for a moment. In fairness, he hadn't combed it that morning. ... Nor did he usually. Then he shrugged, letting out quiet laugh. "And I'm not sure that's how you're supposed to talk to a team leader." "But I like your attitude. Ignore the mop on my head and we'll be fine. Can't speak for Trad, though, dude totally looks mean." Another chuckle, this time directed jokingly at the other teenager. 'Good#####', he had to admit, that was clever. Probably grounds for some very severe detentions if heard, but clever. It was going to be an interesting ride.
