The opening ends to the window overlooking Beacon Academy from the new room of Team RWBY, panning over to Weiss Schnee sleeping soundly in her bed. Her eyes flutter open and she stretches her arms above herself, yawning, while Ruby Rose, dressed in her strangely-coloured school uniform, creeps up on her side and suddenly blows a whistle, causing Weiss to fall off the bed.
"Good morning, team RWBY!" Ruby said grinning
Weiss just called from the floor "What in the world is wrong with you?"
Ruby, who just ignored the question, continued "Now that you're awake, we can officially begin our first order of business."
Weiss had just finished getting up and brushing herself off "Excuse me?"
Yang Xiao Long who was holding a collection of objects - pillows, pamphlets, a candle-holder - in her arms, also dressed alongside Blamore called out "Decorating!"
Weiss just paled slightly "What?!"
Blamore just nodded and pointed to the collection of bags and mimed unpacking them and then sweeping a broom
Weiss does not look enthusiastic, especially when Ruby knocks her back again with the blow of her whistle.
Ruby called "Aaaalright! Weiss, Blamore, Yang, and their fearless leader Ruby have begun their first mission!" And raising her fist into the air called out once more "Banzai!"
Ruby along with Yang, who was doing the same at her side mimicked Rubys exclamation "Banzai!" They both turn at an angle as Blamore helps Weiss up off the floor by lifting her effortlessly and setting her on her feet
Yang places a poster of six guys in various poses named "THE ACHIEVE MEN" on her part of the room. Weiss positions the painting of the Forever Fall forest to perfection and walks away. Blamore is just standing in the corner. Ruby positions Crescent Rose at an exact angle against the curtains so she can perfectly slash a diagonal portion off. A quick zoom around the room (and the repaired curtains) ends with the girls admiring their handiwork... with one problem. The beds are cramped together in the centre of the floor.
Weiss sighed "This isn't going to work."
"It is a bit cramped." Blamore signed
Yang looked thoughtful before saying "Maybe we should ditch some of our stuff..."
Ruby beamed with happiness and spoke "Or we could ditch the beds... and replace them with bunk beds!"
Weiss looked nervous "Umm, that sounds incredibly dangerous."
Yang just grinned and exclamed "And super-awesome!"
"It does seem efficient." Blamore signed smirking a little
Weiss just said "Well, we should put it to a vote!"
Ruby with a hint of confusion pointed out "I think we just did."
To the sounds of two dings and a single buzz, Blamore nods to the idea, Yang makes a double-rocker gesture, and Weiss angrily curls her fists at her side. Decided, they rush at the beds, where sounds of jackhammering and sawing are heard until they gather back at the front of the room.
Ruby squeals in joy "Objective: Complete!"
The beds where now in place with Yangs bed above Weiss's and secured with a bone band curtesy of Blamore who had done the same to his and Rubys beds with the red reapers one being on top but as a privacy screen Blamore had affixed a blackout curtain around his own bunk
Ruby who was now grinning spoke "Allllright! Our second order of business iiiiiiiis Classes...Now, we have a few classes together today. At 9, we've got to be-"
Weiss asked with concern "What?! Did you say 9 o'clock?"
Ruby just "Uuuum..."
Weiss pointed out "It's 8:55, you dunce!"
Blamore grins and waves his hands to get his teams attention.
"What" Weiss snaps slightly only to be hoisted onto Blamores left arm while he gestures for Ruby to get on his back he sweeps Yang into the same position as Weiss but on his right arm and he ran out the room and to the class with a speed that rivals Rubys when she used her semblance
Jaune Arc who noticed the weird sight put two and two together and shouted "Class...?"
Jaune loses his balance and ends up toppling Nora Valkyrie, Pyrrha Nikos, and Lie Ren on top of him. He manages to get out from under them and start dashing.
Jaune calls back"We're gonna be late!"
In the courtyard, Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch watch a black, red, yellow, and white blur zip past while Team JNPR just hurries through the school. Glynda looks at her watch, and Ozpin simply sips his coffee.
The sight of an axe-blunderbuss weapon pans down to the boards displaying various species of Grimm - King Taijitu, Death Stalker, Beowolf, Boarbatusk, Nevermore, and Ursa - behind an elderly teacher named Peter Port.
Port with a massive amount of Bravado started his lecture "Monsters! Deeeemons... Prowlers of the night! Yes, the creatures of Grimm have many names, but I merely refer to them as prey! Ha-ha!" He laughed
The members of RWBY who looked rather shaken apart from Blamore who looked the same as he had before the run, seated on the front row, are in varying stages of interest; Blamore looked agitated and Yang are sitting up and paying attention, Weiss is taking notes, and Ruby has her head propped in her hand as she takes a quick nap until she is woken back up by Port's bad joke, which receives a cricket-filled silence as a result.
Port continued "Uhhhh... And you shall too, upon graduating from this prestigious academy! Now, as I was saying: Vale, as well as the other three kingdoms, are safe havens in an otherwise treacherous world! Our planet is absolutely teeming with creatures that would love nothing more than to tear you to pieces! And that's where we come in. Huntsmen! Huntresses..." (gives Yang a wink, which she groans uncomfortably at) "Individuals who have sworn to protect those who cannot protect themselves! From what, you ask? Why, the very world!"
A random student raises his fist and calls out "Ayyyy-yep!" And stands like this for a moment as everyone looks at him strangely before sitting down, embarrassed.
Port chuckled before continuing "That is what you are training to become. But first: A story. A tale of a young, handsome man... Me! When I was a boy..."
His words fade into the background (and a series of "blah"s) when Weiss notices Ruby is very focused on penciling the paper in front of her.
Port spoke a little louder "...Despite smelling of cabbages, my grandfather was a wise man. 'Peter', he told me..."
The speech evolves into more "blah"s as Ruby chuckles at her creation and shows it to her teammates: a ball-with-limbs-and-a-head drawing of the teacher with stink lines coming from him and "Professor Poop" written underneath. Ruby blows a quick raspberry. Blamore yawns and Yang laughs, but Weiss looks annoyed.
Port cleara his throat "Ah-heh-hem!" He waits until he has their attention again "In the end, the Beowolf was no match for my sheertenacity, and I returned to my village with the beast in captivity and my head held high, celebrated as a hero!"
The teacher takes a bow as Weiss slowly gets more and more frustrated with Ruby's antics.
Port continued his lecture "The moral of this story? A true Huntsman must be honorable!"
Ruby is balancing an apple on a book with her pencil held only by her finger while making a silly face.
Port added "A true Huntsman must be dependable!"
Ruby has fallen asleep again in the first class of the year.
Port finished "A true Huntsman must be strategic, well-educated, and wise!"
Ruby is not-so-subtly picking her nose, much to Weiss' building anger.
Port now asked "So, who among you believes themselves to be the embodiment of these traits?"
Weiss: (still angry, she raises her hand) "I do, sir!" While Blamore just raises his hand
Port points to the pair "Well, then, let's find out!" (he turns to gesture at the glowing red eyes surrounded by shadow shaking the cage that traps it) "Step forward, and face your opponent!"
The unknown monster continues to growl as they make their way down to the changing room
