(My thoughts will be here) I'll...keep this brief. (Oh, god, this won't be brief, will it?) You have traveled here today in search of knowledge- (That's an overstatement, and Ozpin knows It.) to hone your craft and acquire new skills. And when you have finished, you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people. (Well, not exactly, it's more like preparing for vengeance)

But I look amongst you, and all I see is wasted energy-(Whoa, this guy gets to the point… Oooh, his cane has a trigger!) in need of purpose – direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this, but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. (No kidding, Ozpin!) It is up to you to take the first step.

He left, and Goodwitch told us where to go. However, I REALLY wanted to go to the showers, to freshen up, at least. Luckily, we got one right next to where we slept, so I left to the showers. During so, I sang, like all sane people do.

It was a sappy song from some musical I watched from a kid, I don't remember the name, but I know the song by heart. The song was about finding a place to belong, a warm home, and other such stereotypes. When I got out, people were crying and I guessed it was from laughing at me… it was a cheesy song.

So, I got in my pajama shirt and my pajama bottoms, and laid down. Well, I would have, but some girl was laying down on my roll. She had black hair with red ends, and her eyes were silver, a trait I'd never seen.

I said, "Errr… You're on my roll. Could you scoot over?" "Oh! Sorry! " She rolled over to her side, and I laid down. " My name's Ruby. I'm new here," she blurted out, after which, she held out her hand. I shook it and replied, "The name's Pirus Ragnarok. Well, Pirus isn't my name, well, it is, but it's complicated. My parents never agreed on a name, Dad wanted Pirus, and Mom wanted Ryan. The latter's on my birth certificate, but Pirus is a little more fitting," I said.

She shrugged, and I heard another voice from her left. "Dude, that's way to confusing." The voice belonged to some blonde girl with purple eyes. Again, she held out her hand, which I shook. "The name's Yang Xiao Long. Ruby's sister!"

"Charmed," I replied. So, we chatted for a little while, then they left to talk to some black-haired girl. To be honest, I don't know how I didn't recognize her then. But I digress, I proceeded to turn in early.

THE NEXT MORNING

"Oh, God, I'm screwed". I looked out over the forest, which I believed to be teeming with Grimm. While Ozpin went over everything, I thought how I was going to do. When I saw the students crouch, I did the same. However, I did not expect what followed. I heard a click, and I was flung into the air, flipping rapidly and screaming for my life
