KRWN Part 3



Team Meeting Part 1
After the initiation ceremony Goodwitch addressed the new students, “Attention, newly inducted students of Beacon Academy please see the dormitory listings and head off to bed. Also Team leaders retrieve your Scroll before retiring this evening. That will be all. You are all dismissed.”

D.L. watched as his new teammates drifted with the crowd toward the dorm listings and then off into the school. When things had died down a bit, he went to pick up his Scroll. He quickly found the Scroll marked Team KRWN. Huh, D.L. thought to himself, ''Nice quality. Almost as nice as the ones dad uses.'' He finally looked up to notice that he was one of the last few in the auditorium and headed to find his dorm assignment. He scanned the long list and located his name and his dorm number, XXX.

As D.L. headed through the halls, he glanced at his reflection in the polished floors. I look like hell. His long light golden hair which was normally parted down the middle and lay neatly down to his collar was now quite disheveled; his strong face even his pale blue eyes, normally full of determination, showed signs of fatigue; and his clothes from his brown leather jacket to his baggy jeans to his boots were a little worse for wear.

Coming back to reality he arrived at his home for the next four years. He heard a voice coming from the other side. No. He gripped the nob and slowly opened the door. “--- and you! You are such a rude boy. At the least you could learn some common manners.” There was no mistaking it. The piercing blue eyes, the long black hair held back by a hairband, the dress with four pointed stars and the crazy high heels all in a blinding powder blue. His partner. Stella Reign. It’s not enough I’ve got to battle on the same team with her but they are gonna make me live with her, too.

“Huh? What do you mean?” in his moment of shock D.L. hadn’t noticed the other two people in the room. First there was the guy who just answered Stella. He stood there with his head cocked and a sincerely confused expression on his baby face. Grun, I think. He must have been a faunus because he had ram-like horns protruding out from under the front of his short messy dirt colored hair. He may have had a baby face but the rest of him was pretty big. The fact he still wore his short chest plate and shoulder guards over his green V-neck and even through his loose tan cargo pants one could tell his legs were really muscular. Then there was the girl cowering in Grun’s shadow. She was tall and lanky but D.L. couldn’t tell much more because her bangs fell into her eyes. The rest of her hair was pulled back into two low long pony tails. She seemed to be swallowed up by her knee length red trimmed black dress.

“Hey, little loudmouth, they’re your teammates. Be a bit nicer, would ya,” D.L. scolded Stella then turned to the others, “Guys, don’t worry about her she just thinks she’s better than everyone ’cause her dad’s rollin’ in lien.”

“DON’T CALL ME LITTLE!” Stella screamed at D.L.

“Then grow a few inches,” D.L. calmly retorted. “Really, you two, if she bothers you, let me know and I’ll deal with her.” D.L. threw his few belongings down and fell into one of the four beds lined up against the back wall.

“U-um. Th-thank you,” D.L. heard a mumble come from his side and cracked one eye. It was Cerise.

“For what?” He asked looking up at her.

“For defending us against Stella. Thank you, Dandelion.”

“Not a problem,” D.L. said through clenched teeth, “but please call me D.L.”

Cerise looked a bit embarrassed and stammered, “S-sorry I didn’t mean—”

D.L. sighed and stopped her, “No, it’s fine. You didn’t know. I’m sorry for getting upset. By the way what do you like to be called?”

“J-just Cerise,” She managed recovering from her little panic attack.

<p class="MsoNormal">From the other side of the room Stella butted in, “Is it really the time for introductions? Shouldn’t we be getting to sleep? Classes start at nine.”

<p class="MsoNormal">D.L. stubbornly decided, “Y’know what. It is. We all have to work together as a team now so it would be a good thing to tell each other a bit about ourselves. Gather around, Team KRWN.”
