The Saturday morning sun illuminates the curtain by NEON's bed. He wakes up, gets out of bed in just a pair of pyjama pants and puts on his coat along with one of his gauntlets. He wanders over to the kitchenette before grabbing a box of cereal and pouring it into a stone cooking bowl he brought from home. NEON pours the milk into the bowl and sets it on the counter. He steps back and around the corner after aiming his gauntlet at the bowl of cereal. Fire jumps out of the tip of one of his fingers and begins to cook the bowl of cereal. Due to NEON having his face around the corner to avoid looking at the fire, he is unable to see exactly where he is aiming and quickly a bright glow shines around the corner accompanying a rather intense heat.
"FIRE! THE FUCKING KITCHEN IS ON FIRE!" NEON bellows loudly as he sprints for the door, fumbles with the knob and bolts down the hallway. The rest of team KNGT is violently woken up by their screaming teammate. Gryphon reaches under his bed for a fire extinguisher and quickly steps into the kitchen area. He sprays the area to put out the inferno.
"What the fuck was that?" Kyra barks as she appears at the corner of the kitchenette. Gryphon turns to see her wearing nothing but a pair of panties and her uniform shirt that is mostly buttoned up.
"As I'm sure you know NEON is an idiot," Gryphon remarks trying not to stare. He walks over and begins scrapping the charred remains out of the bowl and into the sink.
"I gathered that much already. What was he trying to do!?" Kyra's tone becoming more and more annoyed as the seconds tick by.
"Well, like his strange personality, NEON has a strange appetite and he likes to heat up his cereal," Gryphon begins to explain still trying to avoid looking at his half-dressed team leader. Kyra continues to glare at him waiting for the rest of the explanation. "The issue with this is that NEON is scarred shitless of fire," Gryphon snickers slightly as he follows Kyra back to the beds. Don't let her catch you staring at her legs. Please don't let her catch you staring at her legs. Kyra turns and almost catches him checking her out. She furrows her brow unsure whether or not to believe NEON would really do something that ridiculous. "He had a bad experience with fire when he was younger so he has a hard time looking at it without panicking. However he still tries to make use of fire dust," Gryphon concludes his explanation, fishing out a pair of jeans to wear for the day off.
"Is there anything else I should know about him?" Kyra inquires sternly going to her own dresser to find clothes to put on. Gryphon's attempts to look away are mostly effective, though he couldn't help from glancing over a couple times.
"Yeah, his semblance gives him the ability to force different types of dust into a new 'form of dust' so to speak. The new dust can have properties from both of the base dusts or turn out to be totally unique. Pretty sure he learned his lesson, but we have to make sure he isn't mixing too many together at once." Gryphon warns her with a serious tone. Kyra realizes that Gryphon's playful tone had disappeared.
"Unstable?" she guesses turning around once she finishes straightening out her t-shirt and meets Gryphon's hard gaze.
"Very unstable. He blew up half the school when he tried to do too many at once and he told me he'd never do it again. But knowing him, he will eventually try it again at some point," Gryphon tells her. The room door opens and NEON's head pokes in.
"Is… is it gone?" he asks timidly after noticing Kyra's death glare.
"You're lucky I don't just kill you on general principal. Go clean up the kitchen!" Kyra hollers and NEON jumps into action, quickly running to the kitchen to start working.
"Tamara, you might as well get up too. We all have to get ready since it's almost lunch time and meet up with SAFR," Kyra says in the direction of Tamara's bed.
"I already am Princess," Tamara giggles sweetly poking her head out from the bathroom.
"I told you to stop calling me that!" Kyra growls angrily though her face had turned a slight shade of pink. There is a knock on the door. Gryphon opens it and Riktor pops his head in the room and looks around.
"What was with all the yelling and why does it smell like the Kellogg's factory burned down?" Riktor asks since his team's dorm is across the hall and they all heard NEON's yelling.
"NEON tried to burn down the kitchen while he cooked a bowl of cereal!" Kyra growls angrily. "I'm going to get a coffee, I'll meet you guys down in the cafeteria for lunch," she finishes and walks out the door. Riktor steps aside to get out of Kyra's way. Riktor is at a loss for words from the very brief explanation of the day's events and looks over at the giant Faunus who just chuckles at him.
"She's in a bad mood from being woken up by the screaming. I'd stay out of her way if I were you," Gryphon warns him.
"She's kinda hot when she's pissed off," Riktor chuckles, and sends a quick message to his teammates about what was going on and to meet at the cafeteria.
"She'd kill you faster than Goodwitch would, but yeah I'd have to agree with you," Gryphon laughs the two bump fists.
"What do you think Tamara?" Gryphon asks since she had come out of the bathroom from getting ready.
"Um yeah sure I guess? Maybe?" Tamara replies nervously and starts blushing more, feeling her face getting hot she turns invisible and takes off down the hallway. "I'll see you guys down there," she calls back. Gryphon and Riktor just stare down the hallway quite confused at her behaviour.
"Is it normal for her to get shy and bashful like that?" Riktor inquires. "She seemed pretty flirtatious the other day."
"Exactly, it's so weird for her to get like that. I thought she was always a flirty person," Gryphon remarks, very curious himself as to why she has suddenly been so strange.
"You guys go on ahead, I'm going to head down to the library after I finish with the kitchen, got some reading to catch up on," NEON calls from behind the corner. The other two acknowledge and make their way out of the room and down the hall. NEON leaves the room only minutes after them having cleaned up all he could.
After sending a quick message to Ivan, Anna heads down the hall to team LILA's room to meet up with him. Riktor and Gryphon spot them and quickly head over to them. Before they have a chance to introduce themselves they all hear a high pitched squeal coming from the other end of the hall by the stairs.
"IVAN!" two brown haired girls yell loudly as they run over and nearly tackle him to the ground. They each take a side and give him a big kiss on the cheek. The other three just stand and stare, completely at a loss for words. Ivan just looks at the two girls on either side of him with signs of endearment sketched on their faces.
"Calm down you two. You know you don't need to jump on me all the time," Ivan remarks.
"Of course we don't NEED to, but it's so much fun," one of them chuckles.
"Well at any rate, these are some of the people we are going to be having lunch with," Ivan mentions to them as he points towards Anna, Gryphon, and Riktor.
"This is gunna be fun! Oh and Abby said she was skipping lunch to do some studying in the library," the other chimes in and giggles slightly.
"Alright, I guess if that's what she wants to do," he replies. "Oh sorry, these two are Lily and Lacy," Ivan comments and points at the identical twins on either side of him.
"Nice to meet you two, I'm Anna and these guys are Riktor and Gryphon. Riktor is on my team and Gryphon belongs to team KNGT," Anna introduces them, and the guys give a small wave.
"So you had said your other teammate is in the library? Hopefully she doesn't run into NEON," Gryphon chuckles as they all head down the hall way. Lacy wraps her arm around one of Lily's and they skip along ahead of the others.
"I'd be more concerned if he ran into her. She can be quite the handful," Ivan snickers slightly.
"Don't be mean Ivan, she's a sweet girl!" Lily scolds pointing a finger at him.
"Wait, so you mean to tell me that there are two nut cases in the library as we speak?" Gryphon inquires, sounding a little worried.
"I fear for the people in the library," Riktor's hearty laugh fills the halls. Anna rolls her eyes at them as Gryphon gives him a high five thinking that they are like children.
NEON slowly wanders down the rows of books trying to find something that he hasn't read yet regarding dust composition when he suddenly he bumps into something soft.
"Oh shit! I'm so sor…." he begins to apologize when he sees that he bumped into a girl with wavy brown hair. She looks over at him and everything he had been thinking disappears as he stares into her big blue eyes.
"OH MY GOD! YOUR HAIR IS AMAZING!" she shrieks loudly and starts to run her fingers through his thick multi-colored hair. He steps back and swats her hands away from the top of his head. He looks a little weirded out as she jumps up and down squealing like a deranged fan girl.
"Um? Are you ok?" he asks as he slowly backs away from the girl.
"I'M INCREDIBLE! I HAVE NEVER SEEN HAIR LIKE YOURS AND IT'S SO SOFT! I bet it smells awesome, can I smell it?" the girl asks him with an over excited look on her face edging closer to him.
"I um…?" NEON struggles to come up with words to say and continues backing away. NEON bolts out of the library at full speed, a look of terror painted across his face with his pursuer right behind him.
"Don't run away cutie pie! Come back and let me love your hair!" the girl shouts chasing him down the hallway.
"GRYPHON! HELP ME! SHE'S CRAZY!" NEON shouts loudly as he passes the group. Gryphon busts a gut laughing at him as they zip around the corner. Ivan's only reply is a shake of his head and a heavy sigh.
"Ah cheer up buddy, NEON is always driving everyone nuts so it's a nice change of pace," Gryphon wipes the tears from his eyes and pats Ivan on the shoulder.
"Apparently he set their room on fire this morning," Riktor smiles.
"So is that what Riktor looks like when he is running from Spencer's older sister?" Anna asks Gryphon with a snicker. Riktor immediately stops laughing and glares at his partner.
"You're so funny Anna," Riktor remarks sarcastically. They all turn into the cafeteria where Spencer and Kyra are sitting down at a table with Tamara, but Faith was nowhere to be seen. They all dish up and walk over to the table.
"Still no Faith?" Riktor asks Spencer.
"There's a couple more things the doctors wanna check out. She should be cleared soon, maybe even in time for lunch," Spencer informs them before noticing three more people sitting at the table than normal.
"Who are they?" Spencer asks.
"Oh right this is Ivan, he's the one who fought against Anna yesterday," Riktor jumps in and munches on some potatoes.
"Hi, this is Lily and that's Lacy. Lily is our team leader. Our other teammate isn't here right now, I think she's still chasing NEON," Ivan comments and puts his hand out to shake Spencer's.
"Well we'll meet her eventually if you hang around us long enough," Kyra chimes in with a smile. NEON bolts into the cafeteria and quickly dishes up before running over to the table to hide. He sits in between Gryphon and Kyra with a terrified look on his face already diving into his plate.
"Did you lose her NEON?" Gryphon asks him with a big smile on his face.
"I think so! That chick is bat shit crazy!" his words muffled by mouthfuls of food after already getting halfway through the plate in front of him.
