Okay, so the new episode I thought was really good and funny...loved the achievement hunter poster and stuff. But here's the bottom line. I created a Twitter page for Team CARD called RWBY_CARD for the fun of it and I happened to meet some interesting people. I added four in as the FINAL TEAM for the season...no more bothering...and I have one more thing to say...Yes I know it's short, Yes it might not be what you have been begging me to write or your character doesn't get that big a part. Here's the truth. I only have so much I can do in a time and yes I intend to later. There are a few teams I have decided to give big parts and a few with minor parts...but be patient...it will get better I promise.
The First Day
After the Initiation, Knives and the others returned to their rooms and unpacked. They didn't have many possessions, and on top of that the cramped space didn't provide for much. Knives decorated his area with rock and metal posters and lined his bookshelf with CD's and a few random novels. Luxus unpacked his entire machine shop it seemed, as the footlocker at the foot of his bed was lined with Dust, bullets, and tools for tweaking his guns. He placed a mini-fridge down, which everyone proceeded to fill with their snacks, and he filled Knives bookshelf with cheesy romance novels. Deverou simply placed his weapon in the corner and filled the dresser with his clothes, unpacking his linguistic books and adding them to Caradin's bookshelf. Caradin was the worst. He unpacked the tote he brought with him and it was full of nothing but movies and video games. His console and cords was a massive tangle of wires, and the TV was too big so they mounted it on the wall.
"Boom! Now this is a man cave!" Caradin said.
"I guess…" Knives replied, "I'm not too terribly pleased with the arrangements."
"I don't know about you guys, but I think, we should party!" Luxus said as he pulled out some snacks and drinks he had in the mini-fridge.
"I'm not sure that's the best idea in the world…" Deverou said.
"Nonsense," Caradin replied, "Let's live it up! We're in Beacon baby!"
They went around gathering who they could and even a few who they didn't know. Pyron and KNFS showed up, Safe and his team, as well as Edan and his group. The only person who shut them down was Ragnar and his group.
It got strange, as the night went on.
"Drinking contest!" Carlos shouted.
Knives and Edan sat across from one another, as Caradin took on Pyron, Luxus faced Safe, and Deverou faced someone called Mason from Safe's group. Each man had five shots before him of various beverages.
"This isn't wise…" Lee said to his teammates.
"Well this is what people do for fun right?" Safe asked.
"Of course," Mason said leaning his shoulder on Safe's, "Plus we can't lose…if I know a Tenebrous they can't handle poison."
"And if I know a Suzuki, they can't decide which one they want."
Caradin saw the lightning flying between the two. "Well good luck to you Pyron!" He said extending his hand.
"Likewise." He said shaking his hand.
"Hope you can handle your liquor better than you handle Grim." Edan said to Knives.
"Hope you can put your money where your mouth is." Knives replied.
"Go!" Carlos yelled.
Luxus drank his shots slowly and elegantly, while Safe downed his first and hacked, "What…what is this?"
"Whiskey my boy…and it is a strong one." Luxus replied.
"I…I don't know if I want to drink this anymore…" Safe said.
"Drink!" Mason yelled halfway through a shot, and Safe began to down them like they were medicine.
Deverou grinned and simply downed all five in a matter of seconds and looked at Mason who was on his third. "I believe I'm starting to feel a little something…"
Mason growled and downed the rest of his shots sitting there angrily. Safe finished before Luxus and yelled with drunken ecstasy, "When you wanna try to crack this Safe you are free to try again!"
"3…2…1…" Luxus counted.
"Why are my legs not work?" Safe said collapsing.
Caradin chuckled, "Lightweight." He and Pyron continued to tie, so Pyron filled each shot from a flask. The liquid was clear, and he lit each one on fire.
"This is some real Fire-Water from Phoenix Quarry…try it if you dare."
Caradin downed it in one shot and wheezed, "That's a kicker…I forefeight…someone get me some water."
Pyron shook the flask, "I got some right here."
"You're an ass!" He replied.
However, everyone was fixated on Knives and Edan, who showed no signs of stopping or slowing down. "You're going down little boy blue!"
"Bring it on 'Rusty Knives'!"
On their fifth row of five they began to slow. "You won't win thish…" Knives slurred.
"Neither…will…you…" Edan said as he passed out.
"Yeah!" Knives yelled as he face-planted into the table.
A knock on the door signaled them to be quiet and answer. Mary exploited Edan's state to mess with him and the people outside. "Oh Edan yes!"
The knocking became louder and Edan looked up to see his mouth connected with Mary's, "What are you doing to me women!" He yelled wobbling. The experience sobering him up a bit.
Luxus answered the door and three women and a man in a black cloak stood outside. "Can you keep it down?" The woman with bleach white hair and pale skin asked.
"Why not just join the party?"
The girl next to her with crimson hair and dark red eyes answered, "It couldn't hurt to celebrate our success."
Deverou looked at them, "Wait, I know you…you were the ones with the black rook pieces…" He snapped his fingers for a bit, trying to think. "RXLR…that means you are?"
"Luna Moonstream."
Luxus thought, Where have I heard that name?
She walked in and saw Knives passed out on the table, but her eyes fixated on the sword he carried, "YOU!"
"Me?" He gurgled as he raised his head.
She grabbed him by the throat and the party went quiet. "I knew your name had to have been a lie! Alexander Knife…more like Alexander Blut! Descendant of the man who ruined my family!"
"You are a pretty lady…boop!" He said as he poked her nose.
Her face contorted with rage, but her teammates held her back, "So sorry about this, she tends to be in better control…" The man said.
"Luna, yae need tae calm down!" The girl in the black blazer and skirt said.
Eventually they pulled her off and she glared at Knives, "I swear on the name of Vladimir Moonstream, the Crescent Executioner, that I will see my vengeance enacted."
He wobbled towards her, "I challenge thee to a duel!" as he giggled.
"That's enough champ." Luxus said as he sat him down. "Time to sleep."
And for the first time in his life, the world became dark and he slept peacefully. The noise of the party and the racket of the crowd dissipating into blissful darkness.
The next morning was a rush to get ready, "We overslept!" Caradin yelled, aggravating Knives' hangover, as he hastily throwing on the uniform. He tried to tie his tie, but after tangling his hands on it he gave up. Deverou seemed completely comfortable with what he was wearing, and Luxus was the same, with the exception of his blue and gold coat he never seemed to part with. Knives looked at the uniform and just threw it on, not bothering with a tie or buttoning his coat. He grabbed his bag and just started to run and the others followed. They arrived at class and the professor gave them a look.
"Take your seats if you please?"
Luxus sat behind Yang and whispered something in her ear that made her blush and giggle. Deverou sat beside him and waved at Weiss, she just shot him a look that said, "Help me…"
Caradin went to the back of the class and laid his head down on his desk, while Knives sat next to him and kicked his feet up putting his headphones on and setting a tape-recorder on his desk. "Young man, can you please put your feet down?"
He lifted his headphone, "I'm recording all this to study later…I'll be fine…"
He looked over and saw the red haired girl he vaguely remembered from last night glaring at him, I really hope I didn't try to kiss her…she seems really angry…
The boy next to her was without his cloak and his appearance was strange. His eyes were heterochromatic, one gold and the other silver, as his salt and pepper hair was strewn about in a poofy mess. The girl behind him was pale, with ashy hair. Even from here with his music up he could tell how fidgety she was about the whirring coming from her arms and legs, which he assumed the long black gloves and socks were trying to cover. The third girl, who was rather short for her age, maybe five foot or four and a half, was wearing a school uniform that made her look much too small for it. She kept glancing at him and blushing, and he wasn't sure why. He looked over at Caradin who pointed from her to him and mouthed, "Chicks dig the mystery."
He shook his head and focused his eyes on the back of Ruby's head. Even in her uniform her bright red cloak drew his eyes. Why did he care so much about her…was it her strength, or the fact that even in the heart of all this chaos she stood with her head held high and a smile on her face…she was inspirational…and he was drawn…Johann laughed silently in his skull and quickly the class faded, until Weiss' hand shot up and a beast rattled about in the cage at the front of the room. Now things were getting interesting.
