You Ever Wonder Why We're Here?
A/N: Shout out to the Vinyl Scratch Tapes. Exposition got a bit long, so I split the actual 'tape' into the next chapter. Which, technically, makes today a triple-post day. Woo.
With the start of Beacon's second term came every activity director's most dreaded task; filling in the spots left behind by student who, whether by graduation or drop out, would not be returning for the next term.
One such absence was all four of the Djs/Hosts of Beacon's Student Radio. Yes, Team VNOL had graduated, leaving behind a famously hard to fill spot. Normally, the professor handed the duty of finding a replacement would hold interview, searching through the student body until four individuals were found that were deemed adequate.
However, this year the 'honor' fell to Professor Peach, and her notorious no-interaction-with-students-they're-all-annoying-little-blighters policy.
So, she just chose a team at random and sent their scrolls a message, informing them of their new duty.
Of course, the fact that they were not given any chance to decline was well outside of normal procedure, but Peach had tenure, so she wasn't too worried.
With any normal team, this surely would have sparked at least a cursory complaint, but Peach had chosen well. (More accurately, Eeny Meanie tiny grimm had chosen well, but whatever.)
The team contained the ever-enthusiastic Ruby Rose, the famously sister-spoiling Yang Xiao-Long, the one girl on campus more likely to complete extra credit than Pyrrha, Weiss Schnee, and one of the only students to have consistently listened to the Student Station, Blake Belladonna.
In short, the vote was unanimous. Which, quite frankly, had secretly worried all four members.
Before long, the four were in the studio, preparing for their first show.
Upon realizing that all shows were recorded and tapes kept for a minimum of two weeks, in case of complaint, Ruby had made arrangements to secure her own copy of each show.
After all, she reasoned, surely this was something she'd want to look back on in her old age.
And so, the tapes are presented for your entertainment. Enjoy!
