Dawn gave the faunus a wierd look as he did his trick with her lighter. She caught the returned cigar and shrugged. "More for me then. I'll find you next time i need a light." She took a deep puff and resumed the game, feeling mighty pleased that she was winning.

Until she was interrupted by a loud throat-clearing, and turned to see the absolutely pissed face of Glynda Goodwitch.

The tongue lashing that came next was enough to make even Dawn cringe with shame, as Goodwitch pointed out each of their mistakes and flaws while lecturing them about attitude and rules. Making it painfully clear that "this behavior will not be tolerated at Beacon."

To summarize, they would have the benefit of the doubt and spared only once with a stern warning. If anyone ever so much as mentioned the word 'fight' again, they would be sent packing on the next airship out of Beacon. Lecture ended, Goodwitch dismissed the guilty group and ordered them to bed for Initiations tomorrow.

The day was almost up, but Zhu-li was just releived that mess was over. She quietly made her way to the bathroom, carefully placing her jacket on a hook and took a long, warm shower. Basking in the heat and humming softly to herself.

Stepping outside in comfortable pyjamas, Zhu-li prepared herself for bed. Carefully stepping over the sleeping bodies of countless students in the main hall, she found herself a spot to spread a sleeping bag and lay down, staring blankly at the ceiling for a time.

She hated sleep. That was when dreams came, and nightmares. Forcing her to relive a childhood too painful to even begin describing. She had tried everything humanly possible to clear her mind, even seeking psychiatric help once. Nothing worked. The Funhouse was simply scarred too deeply into her mind.

She closed her eyes, and revisited her nightly demons.

''...a spray of blood as another child died. The bloody garotte was in her hands. ''

''Teddy! Teddy! Teddy!''

''Stop! Please stop it! NOO!!!...''

''Teddy! Teddy! Teddy!''

The girl tossed and whimpered softly as she drifted into uneasy sleep.
