"Would you look at that..." Qrow muttered, looking up at Beacon. It was bigger than he expected. He knew it would be big, but somewhere in his mind he was basing his expeditions on the buildings in Vale, which by their selves were bigger than what he was used to from the tribe. Beacon was even bigger than that, like a castle from the storybooks.
He glanced at his sister, only to see her already walking away from him and into a crowd of people. He stared at her back as she disappeared into the crowd. Was he supposed to follow? Or did she mean to just leave him here? Either way, it was annoying. He frowned, vowing to get her back later if she really did just leave him. They were supposed to stick together here, away from the tribe for the first time in years.
Before he could react, someone ran past him, almost too fast to see. With a yelp, which made him glad Raven actually left him so she wouldn't hear him make that noise, he was knocked over as the person ran to Beacon, leaving only a trail of rose petals.
He sat up and looked at him, both annoyed and confused. Did her semblance leave those? He had never seen a semblance that left flowers. It seemed almost…
….comical.
"Are you ok?"
Making sure not to look startled at the sudden voice, he looked to his left, seeing a pair of black boots. Those boots, of course, were attached to a white haired boy, who was dressed rather formal, with a pair of green slacks and a matching green pea coat. Qrow stood up and smirked, wanting to get some control of the situation.
"Yeah of course. They should have been watching where they were going." He said, glancing at the rose petals before making eye contact with the boy, behind his glasses. Oh look, his green outfit matched his green eyes. And his glasses were a shade of green as well. Qrow frowned. "Has anyone ever told you that you wear to much green?"
That was not what he meant to say. Shit.
But instead of annoyed, the boy merely smiled. "Not really. But then, I never wore this much green before. Has anyone ever told you, maybe you should be watching your surroundings?" He glanced at the rose petals himself, looking vaguely amused before starting to walk away, pushing his glasses back up his nose. Qrow frowned, annoyance of the situation being directed at the boy.
"I always watch my surroundings!" He snapped, following him. Like hell he was going to just let him walk away.

Raven looked around in concealed awe. This place was big, yes, and that was certainly part of her awe, but it was mostly the people. There were so many! And just around her right then. This wasn't even the entire school really, just some of the first years.
She wished she hadn't just walked away from her brother.
But no, they needed to get used to this. Get used to how big it was, and to all the people, without using each other as a crutch. Qrow, of course, would never agree with her about that, no matter how right she was, and would just argue and follow. So she just left, not giving him time to follow. If she was lucky, they would be placed on different teams, then they could really get used to being apart like the tribe wanted.
Her thoughts were cut off by someone bumping into her at a high speed, making both of them fall over in the middle of the crowd. Not that anyone moved to help. They all had their own problems, surely, Raven thought bitterly as she looked at who knocked her over.
"Oh my god I am so sorry!" The someone, a girl her age in a black dress and her face partially covered by a pure white cloak. Raven absentmindedly noticed the rose petals still swirling around them. Was it her semblance? Weird. "I should have been watching where I was going, but I was just so excited to get to Beacon and I think I was using my semblance but I really wasn't paying attention-"
Raven held a hand up, cutting the girl off. "I don't care." She said, before the girl could babble more. "Can we just get up?"
"Oh! Right, right!" She said, getting up of her quickly, turning a bit red. Her hood fell down, revealing her dark hair and grey eyes. Raven got up and glanced her over. She couldn't even see any weapons. Were they just that well hidden in that cloak of her's, or was she so stupid not to bring it? Surely she had one. "I really am sorry…."
Raven paused, making eye contact before turning to walk away. "Don't worry about it."
"Oh, My name is Summer, by the way! Summer Rose!" She heard the girl call after her, but she didn't look back. She'll care about her if they ended up on the same team.
And she hoped to god she didn't.

"I said I was sorry about the comment, why are you still following me?" The boy asked, glancing at Qrow. Qrow shrugged, putting his arms behind his head as they walked. He wasn't annoyed at him anymore, there wasn't a point after the boy refused to even argue with him. Now he was going to show it to his sister a make a friend. Or an enemy. Or maybe he'll just have someone to argue with, if he could annoy him enough to lighten up.
"So what kind of weapon do you have?" He asked instead, not answering his question. Weapons were the best, and he could probably talk for hours about them. Probably the best way for him to make a friend. He quickly pulled out his own, not giving the boy a chance to answer. "I got this sword, that can also do this~!" He happily transformed it to a scythe, excited to show it off. Maybe someone here would appreciate it, in a way the tribe or Raven never did. "It's also a gun."
The boy blinked, staring. "….that's a lot of weapons in one."
"Yep! Designed it myself!"
"Well then you must be proud." The boy gave him a small smile. "It looks very complicated and it looks like you did an excellent job." Qrow smiled back, even if it wasn't the excitement he was hoping for. There are plenty of students to show off to after all. The boy reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun.
"Mine are far less complicated. Just a gun with some non-lethal bullets-" He started, turning the gun over in his hands. The gun was an unassuming thing, black with green trim and a light green gear on the side. Qrow frowned and interrupted before he could continue.
"Non-lethal?"
"Well um…" The boy hesitated, turning the gun over again. This was the most flustered he had seen the boy since they started talking. "They're lethal enough for the grimm- tranqs, sleeping darts, things like that. A hit will destroy the grimm, if I do it right."
"Just not humans." Qrow Realized.
"Just not humans." The boy confirmed, putting the gun back in his jacket, before pulling a metal handle out of his pocket. "I also have this. It's not as… complicated as yours, but I rather like it." As he talked, the black part of the handle extended, showing it to be a black cane, with a silver handle and more gears on the side.
"No, it's the classics." Qrow said, glancing from the cane to the boy. "Not many people have an appreciation for those."
"Well…" The boy smiled, looking at his cane. "Even the classics have secrets."
Qrow went silent for a moment, trying to think of what to say to that, before the boy stopped walking.
"Do you know how to get to the auditorium?"
Qrow's gaze shot to him, eyes wide. "No, I was following you! I thought you knew!"
"I thought you knew so I was following you I'm afraid." The boy confessed.
"Please tell me you're joking." Qrow said, before scowling at the amused look on his face. "Come one man!"

So role reversal, yay! I been wanting to do this for a while actually. Is anyone really interested? Leave a review/comment if you are and I'll continue it!
Just so you know, the reversal is Teams RWBY and JNPR with the adults, being Team STRQ and the Teachers (Glynda, Ozpin, Oobleck, Port). I was thinking, maybe, James Ironwood could be switched, but I don't know with who. Penny? But she would still be a robot, just older.
But that's later. We have a bit until that. See you next chapter, if people want this!
