"Well if that's all We've got to get some food,"I said getting up.
"Yes it is, oh but the ceremony is starting in 2 hours," Glynda told us.
"Of course ma'am, I'll see you then," I said tipping my hat.
"Alright gang, lets get some food into us." I said walking in the direction of the school grounds.
"So what now?" Ruby asked me.
"Sit, wait or go shopping, we do have the rest of the day to ourselves," I said putting down my cup. We just finished the ceremony, unsurprisingly during the ceremony team CRDL looked like they were out for everyone, team RWBY looked innocent, and team JNPR could be worse for wear, Jaune especially. But after that me and ruby split from the rest of the groups to get some alone time.
"In any case petals, shouldn't you get to know your team better?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I'll see ya later Brian," she said walking to her team, which was a table down from where we were sitting.
Getting up soon after, I went outside and headed for a bullhead, gotta explore the city and find a location for Army HQ, what should I name it, hmm can't really go with US as it's not really gonna be filled with Americans, not valean, as it's not supposed to be filled associated with Vale, United Nations, nah they aren't called nations they're called kingdoms, whatever i'll leave it up to future me to decide.
Arriving in downtown, I am immediately reminded of New York City, tall skyscrapers and lots of people crowding the streets, "Jesus i'm gonna need to catch a cab," I said to myself aloud so I can hear myself think.
"TAXI!" I yell at a taxi car, it stops and I get in.
"Where to?," the driver asks me, with what I can only interpret as a russian accent.
"Anywhere i might be able to purchase a couple of warehouses and an office building," I said giving the driver 1000 lien to cover whatever he needs.
"That's a lot of money sir, you sure you need a cab?" he asks.
"Do you want it or not? Because I'm in a bit of a rush and I would like to be where I requested to go before the end of the decade," I said sarcastically.
"I'll get you to where you want to go boy, just sit back and wait," he said pulling away from the curb.
"Thank you," I said pulling out my new scroll, apparently they hand you one of these things when you pass initiation.
"Here you are sir, have a good day," the driver said as I got out.
"Yeah, you too," I said closing the door.
Looking up at the building he parked in front of I see a sign, "Parker Real Estate Agency," I said aloud to myself.
"How original," I said walking into the building, tapping the bell on top of the counter of the front desk I stood around and waited for a minute.
"Ahh geez I'm coming!" A young female said rushing into the lobby.
"Sorry about that, did you have an appointment today?" The young woman asked, looking closer I notice it was coco.
"Miss Adel?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.
Grabbing my tie she pulled me in, "don't start asking questions and there won't be any trouble got it?" She said staring me down.
"No questions here, just need to purchase a couple of warehouses and an office building, if you would just redirect me to an agent I will willing omit from my memory that you're here working," I said smirking.
"Yeah yeah, Gray is waiting for you just let him know about you," she told me pointing at a door presumably to the man's office.
"Well you have a lovely day young miss," I said walking off.
Out of earshot or so she thinks anyways, I hear hear her say something about me having one too, "wonder if she's single?" I said to myself, and hey don't judge I could go for anyone in team RWBY and JNPR, but that would be the easy way out, I want to get to know about Coco okay? She seems like an interesting woman, in at all out of my league as a now self proclaimed army captain.
Walking Into the office I was greeted by a Mr. Gray Parker, not surprising, that's the name of the company and all, "Now Mr Nash was it, I was told that you were looking into purchasing an office building and some warehouses, if I may inquire as to why?" Parker asked.
"Classified, but know that you will be helping all of remnant," I said pulling out a checkbook, "now how much will I have to pay you to keep your mouth shut about what I plan to do," I said challenging the man.
"You never told me sir," he said smirking.
"Good, now would you happen to have 4 warehouses and an office building on standby," I asked the man.
"Yes I believe I do, though this will come at a premium, since land space inside the walls are always at a premium," he said to me.
"I am willing to pay what is needed, now what's your price," I said looking around the room.
"Well it'll come out to-"
Dun dun dun, lol, not really a cliffhanger but I didn't really want to look into how much warehouses should cost and do the math to adjust for the different economies and the land value, so just put in some absurd price and just go with it.
Anyways hope y'all having a good day.
