Author's Note: Alright, Aire-boi and I are going to be trying for a weekly update schedule. Expect every updates every Tuesday and Friday, whenever we cant meet the schedule, we'll put out a "Robin Chirp"and one guaranteed every Sunday You'll see what we mean. A Chrome Finish: Mara Chapter 3 – Bold Introductions Sitting through the final part of initiation was difficult, despite the fact that there were only a handful of teams. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, waiting to be called down. I saw Pyrrha, as introduced on the big screen above the stage, accidentally knock of Jaune, which was pretty funny to be honest. "Robin Cruz. Chroma Spectrum. Mara Deomhan. Hazel Lilium. The four of you retrieved the white queen piece. From the day forward, you will work together as Team CHRM, led by... Chroma Spectrum!" Ozpin had said, followed by us walking our way down. We stood there as the entire auditorium lit up in applause. Looking at Robin and Hazel, I did a sort of nod towards Chroma, signaling to do something. They obviously got the message, as the both of them lifted Chroma into the air as he started spouting curses like a fountain. We walked off stage and outside after our applause, waiting for the next team to come out. We could barely hear the names called, but we managed. Team RWBY emerged from the auditorium, consisting of: Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, Blake Belladonna, and Weiss Schnee. We briefly congratulated them on their entrance to Beacon and walked to the dorms together. There was some talk along the way, but nothing too major. Ruby and I were talking most of the time, but I don't remember most of it; I think it was something about a Nevermore? Either way, my team reached our dorms first, so we went our separate ways. We stepped into a medium room bordering on small with 4 beds, plenty of shelf space, and an area for a T.V if we were careful. "To be honest, I was expecting something a bit more, I don't know, extravagant?" I said. I thought I heard "There's not even space for my conspiracy wall," from robin, but I could've been imagining things. Chroma and Hazel were both along the 'meh' spectrum, but definitely not surprised. I kept talking, "Either way, we should settle out our sleeping situation, anyone have any preferences, because I like sleeping under the window." All I got back was a bunch of shrugs. As we all went to sleep that night, there was still some ruckus down the hall, undoubtedly excitement from the ceremony this morning. There was plenty of girls screaming, so it was either RWBY or JNPR. Pushing all that off, I fell asleep after a while. One line taunted me through restless sleep 'Join us, join us, join us..." I jolt awake, sitting in an upright position, covered in a cold sweat. I look at the clock on the wall, 5:00 AM. I looked out the window, daylight barely there, if any at all. Everyone else was quietly asleep, besides Hazel, who as squirming and muttering under her breath. I changed into my usual attire, opened the window, and jumped. I sprouted wings, slowing my descent and landing with a gust at my feet. I hated using my semblance normally, but there was something soothing about flying over the city, barely illuminated by the dawn's light. This was so much easier being surrounded by tall buildings, but I'll manage. I ended up scaling one of the many towers lining the path. I launched my self into the air, hoping no one was watching. I eventually made it to a sustainable flying height, and just started gliding. The city looks amazing up here, few stores with lights still on, streets lit by various lamp posts. A sort of maze forming between the sprawling buildings, stretching for quite a while. I could see the sun climbing the horizon, so I returned back to Beacon. I landed at the airship unloading area and walked the rest of the way towards the dorms, wings gone. The clock read 6:30 AM as I changed into my new uniform. I then sat on the edge of my bed, looking at the books on the shelf nearby. I picked one out and started scanning the pages, nothing interesting here. Robin was asleep in Hazel's bed for some reason, and Chroma was in his. I heard someone rustling awake, and turned my head to face them."Good morning bed head," I said to Chroma, half expecting him to roll back to sleep. "So, how'd you sleep?" "Let me wake up first and I'll tell you," he said, sort of slurring his words. "Either way, the others will probably wake up soon, so you should get dressed quick," I said, "We've got class in about half an hour, I'll be outside till you're done here." I walked out, closed the door behind me, and started leaning on it. A few minutes passed before a quiet knock came from inside, prompting me to stand up straight. The door opened to a surprisingly well dressed Chroma, though he still had his goggles like I had my sash. I said, "Lets get going, Hazel and Robin can be late on their own time," in Chroma's general direction as I walked off towards whatever way I thought class was. From down the hall, Chroma called out "Classes are the other way!" to which I responded "I totally knew that!" Next thing I knew, someone had crashed into me, knocking me to the ground. I was also greeted by a voice saying "Oh my god, I'm so sorry I'm just trying not to be late on the first day of class. Let me help you up." Ruby gave me her hand, and helped me to my feet. She continued talking in a hurried manner "Come on! We're going to be late!" We all barely made it in on time, everyone else looking back at us. We quietly took our seats as class began. I started doodling the various Grimm that were being lectured on, death stalker here, nevermore there, Ursa scattered around the paper. What I did pay attention to though, was Weiss's fight against a Boarbatusk. Ruby was advising her most of the time, and even still Weiss got disarmed. However, she still managed to kill the beast without much trouble. Class concluded and everyone went out to lunch.
