Team Building
OG-
Ozpin was looking over the list of candidates from the initiations they'd had that day so he could decide who went with who and how the teams would be formed.
He took a sip from his infinite coffee mug.
The teams were already made, technically. That was the fun part about the Emerald Forest initiations, they practically picked themselves! He literally had to do nothing, the kids picked their own partners, they picked their own teams, it was cake! He just had to set up the spring-boards… no wait, Glynda did that, he didn't have to do anything but enjoy the shenanigans from a safe distance!
Another sip from magic coffee mug.
"Sir," a flat woman's voice cut into his giddiness.
Ozpin glanced up from his mug and scroll to see Glynda Goodwitch staring at him sourly. He just smiled that same bullshit smile he always had for her, "Yes, Glynda?"
Her eyes narrowed behind her thin glasses, "You are supposed to be picking the teams sir…" she knew how the set up happened, knew that all the hard work was left up to fate's whims, the only thing left was naming the teams and making it official.
Another sip of coffee.
A very long… sip… as the headmaster stared at his trusty assistant across his desk. Man, it was such hard work being the Headmaster!
For a moment it looked like Glynda's eyebrow twitched, probably a trick of light really, it was always doing weird things with all the moving components in his office.
After a moment, sipping his infinite coffee, and leisurely leaning back in his chair, Ozpin went back to looking over the team setups. He grinned, so far he was working on the 'White Set', the kids that picked the white chest pieces. So far the 'White Knights' and the 'White Rooks' were paired up, funny teams those would make, especially after that huge spectacle with the giant Nevermore and Deathstalker. Yep, those kids looked like they'd be fun to watch!
Moving down his list he landed on the 'White Bishops'. The two pairs had been during the later afternoon initiation, after the Nevermore/Deathstalker fiasco, so one would have expected their initiation to have gone swimmingly since a bunch of huge Grimm had been whipped out. Oh wrong, oh how wrong he had been, it was great!
The first pair was a boy with horns and every outward expression of 'rebellion' known on the planet etched into his persona and a girl who was as disconnected from the human condition she'd give the Schnee's a run for their money… and they had A LOT of money. Theoretically they could have gotten through the initiation easy, and quietly, as the girl was amazing with stealth, she'd walked halfway through the forest, aptly and purposely avoiding anyone and anything, he had half a mind to think she'd wanted to pass on her own without miraculously finding a partner. That was the fun part about the Emerald Forest, you always found someone… and who did she find? The loudest, brashest, foul-mouthed, perverted little dweeb Ozpin had seen since Taiyang Xiao Long… and that was saying A LOT. The horned boy had gone in guns blazing, literally, duel-wielding machine guns and literally shooting up the place so much he CALLED out as many Grimm as possible, luring them to his position, stumbling on the poor Ms. Tultry and having a massive shebang the two couldn't have gotten out of without each other. It was GREAT!
It was funnier watching the misanthropic girl nearly kill him more than the Grimm… they'd managed to make their way to the relic area and she'd grabbed the first chest piece within reach, wanting nothing more than to get the hell out of the forest. Unfortunately that plan had been derailed when the second pair of the new team came running out of the forest with a horde of Ursa on their heels.
The second pair of the 'White Bishops' consisted of a young man seeking a master to follow and a Faunus girl with no regard to anyone or anything. It was like they were made for each other! The boy came off as quite the stickler, all prim and proper, likely raised with etiquette shoved down his throat from day one and the girl had no idea such a word existed. It brought a tear to Headmaster Ozpin's eye when the Emerald Forest gave him such amazing combinations to watch and fool around with… it was truly awe-inspiring and made him want to create a religion around the sacred forest.
But that was for another! Right now he was reviewing the footage from the second pair of the 'White Bishops'. The Faunus girl fought like an animal, with obvious great pride in such bestial nature, while the young man who practically forced himself on her as her new 'Valet' was the definition of gentlemanly sophistication. They were great! She had walked through the forest like she owned the place, not caring what Grimm came about, defeating most and even scaring away some, while the young Valet had simply followed her without question. He'd give the girl some credit, she showed fine leadership skills… in the sense that as soon as the boy submitted to her authority she watched out for him quite obviously, doing the same when they ran across the other two as well.
Bitteburg, the butler-valet-whatever, had been the one to grab the relic, the girl holding off the horde and telling him to grab the relic. Ozpin wasn't sure what made the dapper young man pick the White Bishop piece, but from the footage he had he did notice the boy's intelligent green eyes had looked specifically at the piece the Tultry girl was holding before grabbing his own. Part of Ozpin wondered if the boy had figured out the ploy… oh well, either way they made for an amusing team. The two Faunus were wild and crazy, giving no care to subtlety and brashly fighting off the Grimm as viciously as possible while being supported and directed by the two Humans that easily settled for longer distance combat to avoid getting mixed up in the whirlwind that was the wild pair.
It was an interesting setup… surprisingly so. Two Humans, two Faunus, two boys, two girls, two serious personalities, two give-no-fuck personalities, all of them had a perfect mix of each other's abilities and could easily balance or compensate for each other. All of them were capable of short to long range abilities and didn't seem hampered by switching to any combat style on the fly. Their unique abilities supported each other as well as their personalities. If they figured out how to work together they could be just as amazing as that wild card team from earlier… or they could all kill each other… where was his popcorn?
"Sir," Glynda growled when Ozpin had been quiet for too long. It was never a good sign if Ozpin was quiet and grinning.
Stupid grin in place and after another sip of miracle coffee, Ozpin waved his hand, "I've got another team setup," he waited a moment while Glynda brought up her place on the roster with her scroll, "it is another fabulous team!" hand gestures may have been involved, "Consisting of a Sorceress…"
"Gravity mage," Glynda corrected flatly, typing into her scroll as the student information popped up.
"… a red devil!" hand gestures!
"… horned Faunus…" icy eyes rolled.
"…the big bad wolf!" the Headmaster was grinning.
Glynda just glared, not feeding into his lunacy… this time.
"… and a butler!" yes, Ozpin seemed excited about that one.
"… I believe the proper term is Valet sir…" another eye roll and groan as she typed away, did he have to be so dramatic?
He was on a roll, and not even giving Glynda a glance as he rolled on through, "And they shall be dubbed…!" pause for dramatic effect.
The stern professor just glared at her insane boss… good lord what was he going to come up with now!
Ozpin turned to Glynda, hands up and excited as he said dead serious, "Team 'Lovers'!"
The witch stared flatly at her idiot of a boss, "We are not having a Team 'Lovers'…"
"Why not~" oh god, the whine, "It works perfectly! L-V-R-S! its amazing!"
"No sir," she refused, that look and that whine hadn't worked on her in years!
"But why not~" oh the pout, the pout! Ozpin slumped, "You never like my ideas anymore…"
"You wanted to call Team RWBY 'Sexy Bitches' and have it titled S-X-B-S…" her glare was like absolute zero, the Headmaster shriveled under it…
There was a whimper behind the desk but Glynda was having none of that!
Turning back to her scroll and rearranging the letters Glynda solidified the new team name, "They will be called Team 'Silver', S-L-V-R, and that is final!"
Ozpin just pouted, oh well, in his head they would always be teams SXBS and LVRS… though it probably was for the best Glynda vetoed him from calling Team JNPR his original idea of Team ANLV…
Maybe Team ANVL would have been a better suggestion…
A/N: Short, but these things are just snickering jokes to me anyway :P
i got into this series from a friend and after watching it all and catching up i've been having this silly idea of my own insane team... so i been writing a bunch of little goof scenes instead of working on stuff i should be (like school work and other stories~) so here's a bit of catharsis, posting this up... plus i see a lot of RWBY Oc stories so i thought 'why not?'
as for the 'other' Team names... they come from Team RWBY and JNPR's last names... and as for the extra 'S' in SXBS... i like to think Ozpin took some liberties for his craft at 'naming', taking the 'S' from 'Rose' instead of the 'R' cause reasons~ XD
as for Team ANVL... its 'Anvil' as in the trope of 'THIS IS SO FREAKIN' OBVIOUS OHMIGAWDWTF?!' linking to the 'obvious' everything about Team JNPR... and i'm not 'translating' the other one XD its that bad and Glynda turned it down for good reason... that's all you need to know~
Comments, questions, opposing views? (giggles~ reviews~ etc~) :3
Till next -salute-waves- Sayounara, Mina!
