"You want me to what now?!" Roman shouted into his scroll.
"You heard me roman, there's been a change in plans, and I need you to send you little hench girl to Beacon," A woman said on the other side of the scroll.
Roman started to shout into the scroll, "you lady I've had just up to here, I think-"
"And that is your problem Roman, don't think, obey," the woman said, anger laced slightly in her voice, "you know the consequences if you don't do what I say," she said, with the distinct sound of a flame igniting following on her end.
"Alright fine," Roman said begrudgingly.
"Good, I'll be sending one of my own to partner up with her, don't fail me, Roman," she said before cutting off communications.
"Fuckin bitch," Roman whispered, "Neo! I got a heavy request for you, come here!" he shouted inside the warehouse.
Walking out with a beer and a tub of Neapolitan ice cream, she places them down onto a crate nearby and looks at roman.
"So our 'mutual' business partner has decided it would be beneficial for you to head to Beacon, I don't really care how you do it, but their initiation starts tomorrow," Roman said while lighting up a cigar. Neo looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Look I know, it's random, dangerous even, but if we don't listen to her, you know what happens," Roman said exasperated. Nodding neo walks off to her 'room' inside the warehouse to pack.

"Hey wake up, it's morning," Yang said shaking Ruby awake.
"Urg, five more minutes," Ruby groaned.
"Nope, we've got initiation remember," Yang said continuing to shake Ruby awake.
"Oh right, give a minute," Ruby said getting out of her bedroll. "So did they announce when initiation starts?" she asked while rolling up her sleeping bag.
"Yep, we have an hour to ourselves, c'mon lets go get breakfast, vomit boy is going ahead to get our food for us," Yang said before walking off to the cafeteria.
"Okay, I'll be there in a moment!" Ruby said grabbing an outfit out of her duffle bag. Running into the restroom she cleans herself up and puts on her usual outfit with a pleated skirt replacing her shorts from the previous days. Finding herself presentable, she goes off to breakfast.
- Beacon -
Walking inside of the cafeteria she spots Yang, Jaune, and another person with bright red hair sitting at a table with breakfast, scanning around the place she notices Ivy and emerald loitering around the restrooms, 'Wonder what they're doing here?' Ruby asked herself. She head over to the pair by the restroom.
"Hey boss, HQ wanted us to introduce you to our two newest agents, they'll be working inside the library or as a teacher aide, talk with them for anything you might need since most calls through the CCT are monitored, and our long-range radios haven't been shipped in yet," Ivy said gesturing to the female restroom.
"I have them waiting for you in there, Em is here with me to cover the gender of one of the agents," she said gesturing to the mentioned person, to which Emerald wave her hand hello.
Waving back, Ruby asks ivy about the new agents, "so why did HQ get more agents?"
"Apparently he ran into the pair a couple of weeks before last night, he'd been secretly training them for the last couple of weeks, and sent them up here to fill up some staff positions that recently opened, I guess its cause Em and I are usually out on scout duty, but beyond that, I didn't bother to ask," Ivy explained.
"Guess I'll ask HQ about it during the weekend," Ruby said shrugging, walking into the restroom she sees a bubbly young woman with orange hair, she was wearing a light pink sundress with boots, and a stoic young man wearing a light green suit and service shoes type 2 and canvas leggings, "So you two are the new OSS agents?" Ruby asked carefully.
"Yep, Nora Valkyrie! Expert Demolitionist at your service!" Nora said shaking her hand.
"Wow ecstatic huh, I'm going to assume that you're not the librarian?" Ruby said sarcastically.
"Nope that's Renny over there, Renny c'mon say greet our new boss!" Nora said patting his back.
"Lie Ren, Pleasure to meet you, I hope we will work well together," he said calmly.
"Wow, opposites attract I guess, well I'm sure we will, between an orphan mind-bender and a rich plant-bender, a calm quiet man and an eccentric bombardier won't be too bad," Ruby said chuckling, only just noticing the slight wincing from the pair, "something wrong?" Ruby asked the two.
"Well you see we're orphans too," Nora said sheepishly.
"Ah shit, look uh I hope I didn't offend you guys any," Ruby immediately apologized.
"No harm was done, it is just not a pleasant memory to think about is all," Ren said firmly.
"I understand, anyway, I have an initiation to start soon, so I got to get going, I'll be sure to chat after initiation though," Ruby said walking out of the restroom.
"She seems nice," Nora said to Ren.
"Better than the last people we worked for," Ren said looking down a small journal he's holding.
- Beacon -
After leaving the restroom Ruby ate breakfast with her sister, Jaune and a young woman who she soon learned was Pyrrha Nikos, a famous championship fighter. Afterward, they headed into the locker room to grab their weapons, opening her locker ruby grabbed her baby, the weapon she built from the ground up, Cresent Rose, it's also a gun, "So Rubes how are ya feeling today?" Yang asked while putting on Ember Celica.
"Just fine, better than fine even, no real socializing, just killing Grimm and grabbing a 'relic', easy and fast, all I have to do is pass this and I'm in Beacon," Ruby said smiling.
"I heard that there we're getting teams, you ready for that?" Yang asked.
"Yep, totally ready," Ruby said to Yang confidently.
"Great!" Jaune shouted while looking at a map, "ya know I think I would have remembered keeping my stuff in a locker that high up in count," he continued to shout annoyed.
"Hey vomit boy you good?" Yang asked.
"Just peachy, you know where locker 658 is?" He asked. Yang pointed towards Weiss and Pyrrha, "Oh cool Thanks!," Jaune said walking to the aforementioned locker.
"So Pyrrha who's your friend here?" Jaune asked while grabbing his sword and shield from the locker.
"Oh Jaune, this is Weiss," Pyrrha said gesturing to Weiss.
"Hello," Weiss said looking at him.
"So when did you fall off from heaven of snow angel?" Jaune said as confidently as he could.
"What?!," Weiss said blushing madly...right before launching him right into the lockers on the back wall.
"Oww," Jaune said, getting up and brushing himself off, turning around from her locker Ruby immediately sees Jaune on the floor in a crushed locker, yang howling with laughter, Pyrrha looking like a deer in headlights, and Weiss blushing yet mumbling in some form of anger.
"What the hell?" Ruby said quietly. Only one thought was going through her head, 'Fuck me this is going to be a long day,'
Shortly after turning around the PA system blared up and called for the students to go to the cliffs.

By the way for anyone who is curious, Service shoes type 2 and canvas leggings are the footwear of the US infantry during the second world war, there's going to be a lot of things tying to another story I'm writing already called Games and Stuff, just because that's it really.
Anyways hope y'all having a good quarentine~
