(?'s POV)
Isn't it cliché? How everything always seems to be peaceful all the time? I don't have anything against it. Don't fix what's not broken, I guess. Honestly, it's times like these in which I reminisce of everything. Especially my childhood with my friends before the moved to the scattered ends of Remnant. They were good people, and just about anyone could get along with at least one of them. Me? I'm a special case. If it weren't for my friends, I'd be a shut-in. While I'm not in danger of my health now, my friends moving away has made me, somewhat truant. Just about anywhere I go, I just want to be lazy no matter how trivial or significant it may be. I don't know why, I just find the good and bad of everything to be boring.
Well, not everything. If there's one thing I always enjoyed, it was taking things apart and putting them together again. Heck, my semblance lets me do just that as easy as breathing. I've repaired machines, constructed vehicles, and dismantled devices. Anything that can be built, I can do it faster. If I know how it gets put together at least. Come on, don't give me those looks of truancy. First of all, that's just who I am. Second of all, you try disassembling something you've never seen then putting it back together again. Not easy is it? Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh right, I guess I should tell you why I decided to become a Huntsman.
*Flashback Starts; 9 Hours Ago*
I honestly couldn't tell you how many times I've had to settle petty disputes in my homeland of Vacuo. Sure it's climate is awful, but we survive. Sometimes, however, our citizens tend to just become unsettled with something. It didn't matter how big or small the problem was, there was always something someone would complain about and force their headache onto someone else. What I do about it is use common sense and give both sides of the meaningless argument to simplest solution. Like my grandfather always said; "The simplest solution is usually the correct one." I saw it that way. Most of the time. Someone went out and asked me; "Hey, what do you want to do with your life?" And I answered; "I just want to do whatever I can to help people out. Even if I'd prefer to just relax, sometimes you just need to put your wants aside for other's needs." Then this happened; "Spoken like a true Huntsman. Hey, you should apply to a Huntsman academy. Maybe somewhere that's not in Vacuo though. You seem bored of seeing the same old thing each day. Maybe some new sights will put a little bit more perspective in our life." Oh joy. On one hand, it's always nice to have an escape from the old grind. On the other hand; "So what happens when I get bored of the new stuff?" This person just always seemed to have the answer to everything. "Well, at least you'll have some new friends. I also noticed when your friends left Vacuo, you've become more downcast that you once were." Eh, it was sad but true. "Fine, why not? What's the worst that could happen? And who knows? Maybe I'll meet my old friends there too." That was a joke. There's no way that would happen. So after I went through the process of application, I was approved into Beacon. First try I guess. I'd have gotten on an airship there sooner, but my lazy brain decided to have me take a nap and I missed the first airship there. Fortunately, there was another one that had arrived just as the other left.
*Flashback Ends*
What? You expecting some intricate backstory? Nah, I don't do those. I'm just doing this because I can do it, because I want to do it, and because I had nothing else better to do. Oh, of course. Me and my laziness. I never mentioned my name. Leichter Sangria Xandercat. There happy. I'd tell you what I look like, but I'm too lazy to bother. Maybe later. Right now, I'm just waiting to arrive at Beacon. Oh, it seems I didn't have to wait long. I just arrived there… You have got to be kidding me. It was a joke. I never expected to see one of my old friends here, but whoop-de-do. Now I'm starting to wonder if the others are here too. "Hey! Leichter! Long time no see!" "Yeah, you too Stella."
Author's Notes
And the last prologue is done. I'm just going to say it right now. The first chapter of this story is coming on 8/12. Need some time to cross-transpose the original story with this one. By the way; the first actual chapter will begin in, surprise surprise, Ruby's POV. Did you think that since this story is focusing on Team RSCL's point of view that I would neglect the other characters? Nah, they all deserve some time in the limelight, even if they aren't the main focus. Also, I wanted to follow-up on Chihiro meeting Ruby and reuniting with Yang. Of course, Roderick, Leichter, and Stella will meet the rest of team RWBY and team JNPR as well. Speaking of Leichter, say it with me, his appearance will not be shown until the first actual chapter of the story. Good news though, you won't have to wait long. Let the real story begin. Until next time, I'll stay Enigmatic.
