Chapter 1
Ruby Rose, age of fifteen, weapon is a sniper rifle-scythe combination she calls crescent rose; high level of skill, semblance speed, no criminal record. Notable traits: silver eyes.
Hoid looked up from the document he had taken about Ruby towards the girl herself. He could see she had talent, but he could also see the innocence she still had. He snorted. That would disappear quickly, if she hoped to be a huntress.
He was currently sitting in an out of the way place on an airship to Beacon. He had decided not to travel by way of the cognitive realm and went on the airship to get a good read on this "last hope for humanity" that Ozpin had chosen. She was currently standing next to a tall blond, whom he had gathered, with how loud they were being, was the smaller girls sister. There wasn't much family resemblance.
Hoid looked at the news story on the holographic monitor in the ship. A faunus protest disrupted by the White Fang. He grinned slightly, noting they neglected to mention what happened to said White Fang. 'Of course,' he thought drily, 'corpses rarely talk about what killed them.' The burned out eyes had also been a warning to not look too far into this.
A yell from the place where Ruby and her sister were brought him out of his thoughts. Apparently someone had barfed on Yang's shoes. Hoid chuckled at the two girls antics, shaking his head in amusement. He looked at the boy who had probably done it. Short of Wit, that one was. Hoid chuckled again.
The airship finally landed and everyone disembarked. Hoid was among the last out, watching Ruby and her sister, Yang, as he learned her name after the vomit fiasco. He noticed a girl in white had also done the same thing he had, though that might be due to the amount of luggage she had brought. He shook his head. No better than the light eyes on Roshar. He watched as Ruby was ditched, then practically attacked by the girl in white for falling on her luggage. The girl in white took out a dust vial and started shaking it in Ruby's face, oblivious to the dust floating out of it. Sighing, Hoid walked up and snatched the dust vial from the girl, tightening the cap, then handing it back. Both girls just looked at him in surprise.
"Your rather loud arguing started getting on my nerves, and I figured getting killed by a sneeze was a rather stupid way to go, even for huntresses starting out. I must also say that the idea of color coding yourself was either remarkably stupid or remarkably smart since you either are going to attract the attention of every enemy you face or you're trying to glow in the dark and give everyone a clean shot at yourself to save your future teammates. I'm sure they will tribute their survival due to your poor taste in clothes. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only case of dust in this whole luggage train and every other case was full of the death wish clothes." Hoid had been without his weekly dose of insult giving and had a lot of pent up energy. It was at this point he let it all out.
The girl in white could just stand their in shock, trying to comprehend the long winded insult Hoid had just given her, until finally turning red in the face and stomping off.
"I promise I'll make this up to you!" Ruby called out to her retreating back before turning to Hoid.
"I've been aching to try that out on someone but I've never had someone with poor enough battle clothing taste to try it yet." Hoid said. He turned to the shorter girl. "Of course, reactions are always the best with the short tempered, arrogant, weight throwing… did I just call her fat? I believe I did."
Ruby just stared at him. "Of course, the color coded clothing could also be applied to anyone at this school, apparently. I hadn't realized dresses in combat were so popular these days. It takes a bravely stupid person to where one, considering they are consciously subjecting themselves to limited mobility and stealth. I admire your courage in making a target of yourself." Hoid continued, glancing down at the large skirt she was wearing.
Ruby continued to stare until finally saying "Thanks, I think?" Hoid nodded in turn, grinning, then turned towards the center building. He noticed the puking boy from earlier walking around looking confused.
"We'd better grab him then get to the auditorium. The introduction should start soon." Ruby let out a little yelp as she realized she might be late before the first day of school. Hoid simply smiled, guiding her and the blond over to the large room before quietly taking his leave. He looped around the large building to a side entrance. He would need to speak to Ozpin once the introduction was over.
