Rachel:
Rachel lay in her bed staring up at the ceiling boredly, it had been about a week since the first day, and rachel was honestly getting tired of the daily grind, every school day it was the exact same schedule, wake up, lie in bed for an hour while pirin prepared breakfast, she found it strange that he wasn't tired considering that he always was awake by the time she got up at 6. Back to the problem of boredom though, the school's lack of homework generally made her bored, although Nova said it was just because the classes they were in didn't usually give homework, apparently the only teacher she had who gave homework was Oobleck, and that problem was solved with just a few searches and then 'poof' she could remember everything of importance. Nova however was passing her advanced aura class with flying colours, Rachel had considered taking another class instead of Port's Grimm studies as she had no interest in listening to a some fatass ramble on about successes that likely never even happened. However she couldn't find any classes that sounded interesting. Suddenly something drew Rachel's attention, there was talking outside, Nova and Tira were talking in the dining room, Rachel checked the time to see that it was 6:30 AM, that made no sense, the only time they were up this early was on a… weekend. Rachel looked at her clock to see that it was saturday, She jumped out of her bed and began to put on her clothes and then burst out of her room. Everyone looked at her for a moment before Pirin went back to the food, Tira and Nova went back to talking about their favourite semblances. Rachel walked out into the hall and saw Jaune walking through the hallway
"Hey Jaune, what's up?"
He turned to her with a tired expression and sighed
"Good enough"
Lying, Rachel had been keeping in touch with team JNPR since the first day, and she knew Jaune had not been like this the day prior
"Really?"
"I'm fine"
"Are you su..."
"I said I'm fine!"
Jaune shouted at her, she stumbled back in shock as he stormed off down the hallway, Rachel looked back towards the JNPR doorway and considered asking them about it, she decided though that if Jaune didn't want to talk about it, then she would just leave it. She went back to the RPNT dorm. As she opened the door she heard Pirin say
"You're back just in time for breakfast, how many pancakes do you want? Nova, please go get Rachel a plate"
Rachel walked into the dining room as Nova set a plate down at her seat
"I… I'll start with two pancakes"
"Aye"
The team ate in silence for a few minutes before Pirin spoke
"so how's everyone planning to spend their first weekend at beacon?"
Nova responded first
"Today I'm gonna check out the town, I haven't seen it yet, tonight I plan to go clubbing, tomorrow I'm thinking we could all sit around and Play video games together"
Rachel responded to Nova's suggestion
"Yeah, a games night sounds fun"
Tira was next
"I think I'll go explore with Nova, not the clubbing part though"
Rachel piped back in
"How about you, Pirin?"
"I'm going to just sit around, i don't especially feel like doing anything today, I'm up for a games night tomorrow though"
Rachel returned her attention to her pancakes
Pirin:
Pirin was sitting on the couch, Tira and Nova had left about an hour ago and he was lying on the couch watching the TV, they were doing an expose on an atlas train that had been hijacked the night prior, the soldiers had all been killed and the cargo, which the atlas military was keeping classified, was stolen
"Idiots"
Pirin muttered to himself. Just then Rachel walked in front of him, drawing his attention away from the expose, he raised an eyebrow
"Yes, Rachel?"
"I was thinking, while the other two are out, we could get a game for tomorrow, seeing as the school stupidly provided us with a console but no games"
"What game?"
"Want to go check what they have?"
"Why the hell not, that news story was killing my faith in society anyways"
So the two walked out the door and down to the airstrip, where they took a bullhead into town. The a buzzer made a beeping noise as Pirin and Rachel walked into the BE Games, where Rachel said
"So I'm thinking we get a first-person-shooter, what do you think?"
"Sounds good, how about Double-Clip?"
"Which one's that?"
"New game, supports split screen play, apparently the game has really good multiplayer"
"Sure"
It took the two about a minute to find the game, at which point both grabbed a copy, Pirin stopped for a moment and spoke
"Oh, okay, I'll put this one back"
"No, how about we get two and play with team RWBY"
"We can do that?"
"Yeah, it's called a Lan party"
"Okay I guess"
They walked to the counter and put the two copies on the scanner, the screen beeped requesting payment
"So who's paying?"
"I'll do it"
Pirin pulled out his gold and black card and swiped it across the machine, the machine beeped and 'Accepted' appeared across the screen in green text. Rachel put the boxes in one of the plastic bags and the two walked out the door.
Tira:
"Excuse me sir, do you know where I can find Sevusiov?"
"Yes, just go down that street and make a right turn at the second road, you can't miss it"
"Thank you"
Nova turned back to Tira who had been standing back watching, the two of them then proceeded to head down the street. as the two of them walked into the restaurant the owner eyed Tira cautiously. Tira looked at the man, he made her feel nervous, she nodded to Nova who walked to the counter and spoke
"Hello there, I'd like a large pepperoni and two Koces please"
The man nodded and began typing into the Keypad, Nova walked over to a table and Tira followed her. A matter of minutes later their Pizza arrived at their table, Nova split it into two halves and they began eating. Part Way through the meal Nova began to talk before taking a moment to swallow
"So, want to talk about something?"
"Like what"
"I dunno, you're not very chatty, all I honestly know about you is what you look like and that you're a kick-ass fighter"
"Well, I'm from the lower class of Mistral, besides that there's not much to talk about"
"Neat"
"You?"
"Huh?"
"I don't know much about you either"
"Well, I've lived outside the walls my whole life, it was always just me and the guys doing jobs for money, we would go from town to town, I think that the word Mark used was 'a team of desperados'"
"Where are the guys?"
"Went off to Vacuo, we do video calls from time to time, they're going to be here for the Vytal festival"
The two of them thought for a moment before just returning to their food, not being able to come up with anything else to talk about. Several minutes later once they had finished their food Nova stood up from her seat and began to walk out, Tira followed in tow. she was following Nova when she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, Tira turned around to see a man with black hair glaring at her
"Y-yes?"
"What are you doing here"
"Do I... know you?"
The man suddenly turned angry and pushed her to the ground
"Don't play coy with me you fucking animal! You came walking into this neighborhood like you had some right to be here! Remnant would be fucking perfect without animals like you!"
Tira couldn't respond, she simply curled up and cried, as the man continued his hate speech
"...ister was killed by one of you mutts! Get out of my sight... AAUGH!"
Hearing a cry of pain Tira looked up to see the man lying splayed on his back with a smoking mark on his chest, he looked at her with sheer terror, but he wasn't looking at her, Tira turned her head to see Nova holding a smoking red crystal. Nova helped Tira up before walking over to the man and kicking him unconscious, as the two walked away Tira was sure to stay close to Nova, she had been the victim of hate back in Mistral, but she'd always heard Vale described as some kind of better place where such racism didn't exist, this scene had shocked her back to reality. She then heard Nova talk
"Outside the walls faunus were treated equally, some villagers we spoke to even considered the faunus to be more evolved, I wonder what's different in the cities"
Tira considered the question, faunus in the cities were always associated with the white fang, perhaps there was less of a white fang presence where Nova had been, hell, Nova didn't even seem to know anything about the white fang. After another hour of looking at tourist sites Tira got bored
"Hey, it's getting late, I'm headed back to the school, okay?"
"Sure thing, see you when I get back"
Nova:
Tira had left back at 5, it was now 8 and Nova was dancing in a club, she had no idea what the place was called even, although that may have been because she was drunk. She pumped her hands in rhythm to the music, something by paft dunk, a pair of Atlesian DJs that had been gaining popularity lately, she hummed along to the song. After a few more minutes of dancing Nova walked over to the bar and sat at one of the stools, the bartender, a tall man with dark hair and a goatee was currently serving one of the other customers, she watched him give a shot to the man, at which point Nova cleared her throat drawing his attention to her
"I'll have a sake bomb please"
The man looked at her and cocked an eyebrow
"How old are you?"
Nova grunted and pulled a few bills out of her wallet, before sliding them to the bartender and gesturing for him to keep quiet, he counted the money, slid it into his pocket, and poured her drink for her. Nova took the glass and swivelled her chair, giving herself a view of the dance floor, where she began sizing up people while sipping her drink, there were a few buff looking men standing off to the side, not her type, there was a guy about her age sitting next to some girls who were talking loudly, the man looked less than excited to be in the club, must have been more of an introvert. Nova heard shouting and saw two girls, one dressed in red and the other in white dragging a man up to the bar, once they had finished carrying the man the barkeeper spoke
"What did he do?"
The girls responded with one beginning the sentence and the other finishing it
"Got into an argument with a woman"
"Pulled a gun on her"
The bartender looked at the man and then returned his attention to the two girls
"Throw him out"
Nova watched as the two girls dragged the man out the front door before returning to their spots at the edge of the dance floor Nova looked to the bartender and asked
"Who the hell are those two?"
"Security, Melanie and Miltia may be a bit odd, but they're quite honestly the only decent fighters here"
Nova nodded absentmindedly and returned to her drink, just then she felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked to see a guy with red hair sitting down next to her, he wore a t-shirt and jeans, casual wear, probably a civilian, he spoke first
"Hi there, what's your name? I'm Kris"
The guy was confident, he probably came to the club to pick up chicks all the time
"I'm Nova"
"Nova, nice name"
"Thanks"
"So, I haven't seen you around here before, you new?"
"Yeah, I'm a first year at beacon"
"Oh? How old are you?"
"Seventeen"
"Wow, same age"
"So why do you come here?"
"Mainly just a good time, I get bored all the time"
"Oh, neat"
Nova and Kris spent another hour or so talking until they left the club, they walked home together, and then once they got to Kris's apartment he turned to her
"You want to come in?"
"Sure, we've got some time to talk, so what's the worst that could happen"
The two stayed for another several hours, and eventually Nova left the apartment a wild grin plastered across her face.
