The Beginning of Your Journey!

The hum of the engines could be felt, ever so gently, by the new students on the airship. Said airship was on its final descent to the prestigious Beacon Academy, where they would all spend the next few years of their lives studying and training to become the Hunters and Huntresses they desire so badly to be.

It was then that Glinda Goodwitch appeared through a hologram of some sort, and began talking to the students. A small handful of the teens ran over to the large window, looking out over Signal, and the rest of Vale, awestruck at the beautiful sight. Minutes later, the airship made a successful landing, opening the doors to the entrance of the Academy. Students began pouring out, including a young woman clad in vermilion red, with long, beautiful pale blonde, nearly ivory hair that reached far down her back.

She takes her first steps on the grounds of the school, her boots clacking with each step she takes. She has a confident smirk on her face, as she rests her hands on her hips, her wrists lightly brushing the hilts of her twin blades that rested in their sheathes.

It was here that she, along with the others around her, would begin their new lives.

...

Only, she had no idea where she was to go next. There wasn't entirely a handout, pamphlet, or directory that let her know what was going on.

"...Great, Vera. You're here two seconds, and you're already lost. Merveilleux." She mumbles to herself, applying her palm to her face.

Wayne sighs, seeing all of his future classmates getting up around him, all starting their new lives. He shuffles the deck of cards he was playing with and tucks them back into his messenger bag, slinging the strap over his shoulder and following the flow of students out.
--
Novus leaned against the edge of the airship, popping his neck and watching the other students disembark.
"Wonder where our luggage goes..." he mutters to himself.
--
Leon had fallen asleep shortly into the ride, and remained passed out on the air ship.

Tanner ran a hand through his messy hair, making sure not to reveal his ears to anyone. He kept quiet as he stepped off of the airship, delivering a whistle as he stared at his new home. "This is a long way from home . . ." He says, flipping his hood up. Tanner then began walking towards a fountain.

From a dorm window overlooking the expansive Beacon Grounds, a fair young man looks out as new and some returning students disembark from the airship. His long hair waves behind him as he faces about, and steps out into the adjacent hallway. A few steps down the hall, he heads back into his room, having forgotten to grab his book. Literature in hand, he departs once more, knowing that keeping himself locked away as he had in the past wouldn't do him any good.

Vera begins patting at her pockets in her leather jacket, before sighing in frustration. "...It's in the ship, innit?" She grumbles, making her way back to the ship, before running into a girl who had just un-suctioned her ecstatic face from the window. "Ah, excuse me." She says to the girl, an apologetic smile on her face.

Vera chuckles, extending her hand to the quirky girl. "Mon nom est Veronique Vallat. My friends call me Vera. Pleasure makin' your acquaintance." Vera says with a friendly smile. "Hey, you haven't seen a phone around, have ya? Black, touch screen, got a blue charm on it?" She asks, figuring describing the phone would have been much more helpful.

Vera blinks. "...Phone. Cell phone? No?" Vera then sighs, applying her palm to her forehead in frustration. "Great, I'm not here five minutes, and I've already messed up..." She mutters.

Tanner stops at the fountain, before taking a seat on a bench. "I could use a quick rest . . ." He yawns, covering his mouth. Nobody had tried to talk with him, which was good. He'd rather not have people questioning his sharp teeth.

An older man of 20 with brown hair watched as students disembarked the ship that had just arrived. As the new guard on the job, he was to oversee the students arriving to the academy. And so, though stood off to the sidelines, he could still keep an eye on them and make sure no trouble occurs.

Vera's eyes light up, and a smile grows on her face as Talea offers to help. "Oui! Merci! That is very nice of you!" She says, walking back inside the airship. "Like I said, it's a decent sized black phone with a blue charm on it. Can't miss it." Vera says, taking a look around, and spotting a boy with black hair, still passed out.

Vera is about to wake up the sleeping student, before her head is snapped back into the now. "Did you find it?" Vera calls, hoping Talea can hear her.

As Li walks out of his room, he soon hears a familiar voice. "Heya, Li!" A voice that should be familiar to the young man cheerily says. A young woman clad in blue, with dirty blonde hair highlighted by a royal blue, skips towards the young man with a wide smile. Following her is a woman in a black three piece suit, sporting a small smile. "Hello, Li." Professor Vainikainen greets.

Looking over at Talea, having been uncomfortable with the silence, Vera sees a familiar object flying her way. She barely has time to yelp, before ducking under, as the cell phone goes flying past her, shattering when it hits the ground. She stares at it in pure shock, before shouting, "Oh, non! Ma telephone!" She quickly scrambles to pick it up. It turned on, but the screen was completely shattered.

Li smiles gently at the greetings, nodding his head to each as he returns, "Morning, Professor. Rudil. I trust you're doing well?"

Novus sighs, flicking a lighter that he had found on the airship on and off idly.
--
Wayne was in line to exit the airship when he heard a loud bang. Turning over his shoulder, he looks to see a girl lamenting her broken phone.
'best to leave it alone...' he mutters, turning and leaving.
--
Leon snores and turns on his side in his seat.

Primula gives a single nod. "Professor Rimu wants us to help set up the ballroom for the new students!" Rudil says happily. Primula chuckles softly and nods. "That's right. I was wondering if you could help Rudil and I clear out the ballroom for the incoming students." She asks the student.

~

"Aw, man...My parents are gonna kill me..." Vera sighs, standing up and looking at Talea. "That isn't the problem! I didn't expect you to throw my ruttin' phone straight for my face." Vera replies with a slight groan.

"I'll help out," Li says, shifting his book to hold it closed more securely. "Long as I'm not in any big crowds," he adds, shifting his eyes to the side and rubbing the back of his neck.

Vera turns to fully face Talea, a brow arched in confusion. "...You're not from around here, are you?" She asks with a slight chuckle.

~

"Of course. It'll be the three of us, plus another handful of students. Though, I'm sure you can just stick with Rudil and I." Primula says, leading the way to the ballroom. "How was your summer, Li?" Rudil asks, as she skips along side him.

"Thanks, Professor," Li says, before turning his attention to Rudil. "Same as last summer, really. Not that exciting."

"I'm inclined to agree with my friend, here." Vera replies with a snicker. "...Besides, aren't you in the same year as us?" She then asks, simply getting a feel that the girl was no older than they were.

~

"Aw. You didn't do anything fun?" Rudil asks with a sligh pout. "Well, don't worry! We can go down to Vale to make up for lost time!" She suggests with another smile.
