Ravus poked his head out in the hallway again, looking for Aero. He still didn't have a good feeling about what ever Weiss had soooo wanted to talk with Aero about.
"Are you sure we shouldn't be looking for them Vivian?" Ravus asked again as he closed the door behind him. Vivian gave a small grunt as she slid her things under her new bed.
"I already told you. If you're really concerned for him, give him a call." Vivian explained standing back up.
"Yeah, come on Mister Leader." Natasha commented from the bathroom. "All it takes is one button!"
Ravus looked down at his scroll. He hated calling people. He'd much rather send them a message and go on with his day. And he had done that, but Aero hadn't responded or even seen the message yet.
"Apologies everyone. Just needed to clear some things up." Ravus' shoulders relaxed as he put his scroll back in his pocket and turned around to see Aero.
"Welcome back." Natasha greeted, emerging from the bathroom in pajamas. She wore a plain, three-quarter sleeved shirt with red sleeves and a white middle along with black leggings.
"Wouldn't this technically be his first time being here?" Ravus smirked.
"Yeah, but he's back with his team." Natasha responded. "We were together as a full team for not even five minutes and he had to split."
"So why don't we take advantage of being together now?" Vivian spoke up taking out some pajamas for herself.
"Huh?" Ravus asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, about all we know of each other right now is, not much." Vivian explained.
"Yeah. I don't know your favorite colors or how you like to top your ice cream." Natasha commented sitting cross legged on her bed.
"Wait, you mean you wanna do like, ice breakers?" Ravus asked, almost praying he was wrong.
"Sure!" She agreed with a smile.
"Huh. Getting thrown off a cliff and fighting a Goliath wasn't enough?" Aero dryly joked as he took of his hoodie, revealing the plain white t-shirt underneath.
"Now don't be so cold Aero." Vivian returned. "We don't want that Schnee rubbing off of you. And I think it wouldn't hurt for us to get to know each other more." She finished, returning to her more tranquil demeanor as she walked over to the bathroom to change.
"What do you say Ravus?" Natasha asked looking over at him.
"Uh, I…" Ravus glanced between his roommates unsure. Ice breakers are the last thing I want to do. The team does. "Why don't we just do something small? We're going to be spending four years together and Glynda said to get some rest."
"Fine." Natasha rolled her eyes, conceding with a smile. Ravus looked over at Aero who had a raised eyebrow. I know I'm the last person to want to go to bed early Aero. Stop reading my mind!
"Do you have a suggestion Natasha?" Ravus asked, looking away from Aero.
"Um, well, we could say where were from and what our weapon is?" She offered with a smile. "Like I live on the edge of Vale and this is my weapon!" Natasha spun around as she stood and she pulled out a weapon about as tall as herself. "This, is Tranquil. It's a big buster sword with proton gun attached for both close and long distance attacks. I even made it so the blasts are always green, whether I add dust or not." The blade was a bright neon green that Ravus assumed matched whatever those proton blasts Natasha commented on. The gun ran down the middle of the sword, making it double edged with a long purple handle at the base with a black covering and trigger.
"Looks like we're going to need to do sparing practice Natasha." Aero commented, taking out his own weapon from its carrying case. Vivian returned her weapon to it's holder and sat back down on the bed. "Though I don't have a proton gun, my sword can also use dust. It often comes in as a handy boost to my semblance."
"Those dust compartments look a little rusty Aero. Don't you take care of it?" Vivian asked, not missing a beat as she stepped out in her pajamas. As she walked closer in a lilac sleeping gown that had a pull string at the waist, she examined the dust containers housed beneath Aero's blade above the hilt of the sword.
"No, I take great care of this." Aero assured. "It just saw a bit of wear before I inherited it. What about your weapon?" He asked, turning the attention away from himself.
"But you didn't say where you were from?" Vivian asked, pulling over one of the desk chairs and placing it near where the boys stood and Natasha sat on the bed . Are the walls really that thin that she could hear everything from the bathroom? Ravus thought with a small shudder. Living with two sisters means often dealing with…uncomfortable situations but at least he could remind himself that they were family.
"I came to Beacon with Ravus." Aero explained.
"Oh right, so you two must be from patch with Yang." Vivian said.
"Yup." Ravus confirmed. I forgot Vivian went to school with Yang. Then again, most of her classmates came to Beacon who were able to get in…
"Ah. Well, why don't you go next Ravus?" Ravus looked over at Vivian and shuffled in place awkwardly.
"No, uh, you should go Vivian. Leader last, you know." He said.
"Well," Vivian began, as she pulled back her hair into a pony tail, "I'm kinda from all over…"
"Hey Viv, oh wait, you don't mind if I call you that do you Vivian?" Natasha interrupted.
"Not at all. Almost everyone calls me that." Vivian said, dismissing Natasha's concern.
"Ah, ok. Well I was gonna say Viv that I think you missed some hair for your pony tail." Ravus looked back over at Vivian and realized Natasha was right. Two large sections of hair still hung next to her face.
"Oh, no. That's not hair. Those are my ears." Vivian said, casually flipping her, ears slightly.
"Your, ears?" Natasha repeated.
"Yup. Kinda matches where I grew up." Vivian said with a smile. "I was born on Menagerie same as many other Faunus my age."
"So you're a bit farther from home than us huh, Viv?" Aero joked, finally taking a seat on the edge of a bed.
"Heh, yup." Vivian looked over at Natasha who was looking back at her with a tilted head.
"So, you're a Faunus?" Natasha asked.
"Yes." Vivian confirmed, sitting up straighter in the chair. With that Natasha gave a small shrug but nodded her head.
"What's your weapon Viv?" Natasha asked, her smile returning to her face.
"Well, its name is Bad to the Bone but I'm not sure of calling it mine yet. It's sort of been passed down to me. I was never told who originally made it, but some said it's older than Beacon."
"Same with mine." Natasha commented. "Well, not the older than Beacon part." She corrected herself. "But my weapon is not entirely mine either. It was my grandmothers." Natasha finished with a smaller smile, looking down at the ground. Ravus looked to each of his teammates, now the only one still standing.
"Ok, so I guess we should go to bed." Ravus said clapping his hands together.
"Wait Ravus." Vivian objected as Ravus was about to head to the bathroom. "We still don't know about your weapon."
"I mean, there's not much to tell." Ravus replied, his hand on the door handle to the bathroom.
"Common Ravus." Natasha added. "We've already seen your weapon in action. It's not like you need to keep it a secret."
"I'm just kinda tired." Ravus said, turning the door knob. "Aero, why don't you look on my scroll to see if Glynda sent that schedule? You guys can figure out where we need to be tomorrow." Ravus quickly ducked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him with a sigh. Finally.
"Aero, what's up with Ravus?" Ravus knocked his head on the door and slid down.
"I think it's just best we get some rest. He did take a big hit earlier today." Ravus let out another sigh as he got up to get ready. He looked at himself in the mirror. You're at Beacon dude. You're a team leader. No turning back…
