Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

I don't know how I feel about teams. I get that it's part of the actual RWBY and all, but the chances of having 4/4 people active at the same time seem to usually be pretty slim.

Datura Platinum - Antagonizing a student (Diamond) in a random hall.
Sepia Russet and Soot Shrike - Catching up in a different but equally random hall.

I forgot to put it in the IC post again. *sigh*

Datura

Soot

"Soot, can I ask you something?" As much as the absence of a certain purple-eyed girl was beginning to concern Sepia, it had provided her with a chance to talk privately with her father. Whenever she called him at their home, Datura was almost always lurking somewhere nearby if not front and center by his request. While the brunette did value his attempts to facilitate friendly communication between the two most important people in his life, she was missing having a private outlet for her feelings and questions.

He smiled with just a hint of sadness behind it. "Of course." Sepia had a feeling he knew where this was going.

She shifted uncomfortably for a moment before finally blurting out, "Were you afraid to tell me? About the baby, I mean." Silence hung in the air for a few moments as she worried her lower lip. Did she really want to know any of the possible answers?

Her father sighed and closed his eyes before replying, "The situation is delicate. Aside from the long list of physical complications, we weren't sure if you might feel that you were being abandoned again." Huh? They'd never left her, not-oh. He wasn't talking about himself and Datura.

"Hey. You two had nothing to do with that." She put a hand on his shoulder, hoping to reassure him. "If anything, you've been the most constant person in my life. Hell, according to you, you took me straight from the midwife's arms. Pretty good for a teenager." She let out a small giggle.

He smiled. "Watch your language."

Things were getting serious. Preparing to defend herself should the need arise sooner than expected, Datura gave a quick once-over to the bracers wrapping around her forearms and lower legs. If last night's assessment of the telescoping function was still accurate, she should be fine in the kind of combat this student seemed ready to engage in.

"Of course. Now, do you wish to proceed to the gym, or would you rather start getting "calmed down" right now?" She allowed just a hint of arrogance to slip in at the end. Hopefully, this girl would surprise her with her decision.

I think it's two. You might want to check the first OOC post to be sure, though.

2:20, man (you do need the full buildup to really appreciate it, though):

I laughed, and I a)know a little bit about Apophis, b)know almost nothing about Jericho, and c)would not be able to tell you anything about Tearlag if I tried. Funny expressions can benefit from a context, but they can work on their own too. TBH, it's something I've always envied about your art. I'm just too uptight about making things look "nice" to achieve anything resembling humor, so I don't really try anymore. I don't want to see someone who does have talent at it stop trying.

This has got to be one of the weirdest character interactions I've ever written.
