((No problem, i concur.))

The girl smiles back at her. "Call me Lia. I noticed that you had bat ears like mine." She glances away for a moment. "I thought that, well, maybe i could make friends with someone similar to me." She looks back to her, smiling meekly. "I guess i'm off to a good start."

As they walk, Lia leads the way, since she was up earlier and had a little more time to familiarize herself with the building. After a few moments, and minimal small talk, they walk out of the building and to the cliffs, where they are told to take their places on a platform.

The two older figures who are waiting for the students are known by all the students as Professor Ozpin and Goodwitch. Ozpin takes a sip from his mug before speaking to the lot of them.

"For years, you have trained to become warriors, and today your skills will be put to test in the Emerald Forest."

Glynda looks up from her Scroll. "Many of you have probably heard from older students about the assignment of teams, but i will restate it for those who have not heard. You will be given teammates today."

Ozpin takes another sip of his coffee...Or whatever it is he's drinking. "You will be with your teammates for the rest of your time here at Beacon, so it is in your best interests to work well with whomever you are paired with."

" You will make your own landing strategy on your way into the forest. The first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your teammate. After paired, you will make your way North for your next objective. You will fight and kill anything that can, and will, get in your way, or you will die."

"After finding an Abandoned Temple, you will retrieve a Relic, which you will guard with your life as you make your way back here, thereby finishing your initation."

Ozpin nods. "Well said. Now, are there any questions?" After momentary silence, he nods. "Good, then let us begin. Take your positions."

With that, the platforms below the students start catapulting them suddenly into the distance, off the cliff.

Vespertilia takes a deep breath, then shoulders her bullpup rifle, bracing herself as the line gets shorter and shorter steadily...
