//------------------------------// // First Night // Story: BBLO (Blackout) // by Norwegian boy //------------------------------// After they in teams, the students were lead to their dorms where they would sleep and live together for the next four years. Blaze lead the girls through the hallway until they found the door with their name on it, BBLO. When they found it, he opened the door and walk in with the girls right behind him. They were threat to a room with four beds, a table with a chair that was in the middle of the room and another door that probably lead to the bathroom. Luna ran straight to the bed closet to the bathroom. “Dips on the bed closet to the bathroom.” Before anyone of the could react, she ran to the bed and jump on it. Opal walk in and walked over to the bed next to Luna’s. “Fine by me.” She then notice a suit case on the bed closet to the wall and a note on it. “Hey Blaze, I think that’s for you.” She told him while pointing at the suit case Now Blaze was curious, he walk over to the bed and saw that Opal was telling the truth his name was on the note. He took the note and opened it. “To Blaze, I hope that these clothes suits you, Ozpin.” He placed his spear on the wall and opened the suit case, he saw a bunch of new clothes for him to wear. “Wow, Professor Ozpin gave you new clothes. That’s cool.” Luna said from her bed. “Not really, I came here with the clothes I already have on me, he’s just helping me out a bit.” He removed some of jackets, then something fell out and landed on the ground. “What’s this?” He picked it up and saw that it a plastic card with the letter L on it. “That’s Lien, it’s our currency her in Remnant.” Blake told him while walking to the last bed which was between Blaze and Opal. “Oh, come on, you get clothes and money. What did you do to get on the professor good side?” Blaze look over to Luna. “As I said, I came her with the clothes I already on me, I didn’t ask for this.” Luna just rolled her eyes. The Opal spoke. “Now we know who Professor Ozpin favourite student is.” Blaze just ignored her. Blaze then found something that made him raise an eye brown. “What the hell is this.” He said while holding up a black suit lined with gold, accompanied by a blue vest and a white shirt with a red tie. “That’s our school uniform, we have to wear it in class.” Blake told him as placed her suit case on her bed He then notice that there were no hole in the uniform. ‘Great, I am probably going to get cramp.’ He thought for himself. He then put it away for now, then he found something white. “What’s this?” He ask Blake while showing her the device. “That’s a scroll, we use to communicate with each other.” She told him while unpacking her stuff. Blaze just look at in wonder, he could only guess it was like sending letters but only more advance. “Seriously, just where are from? You must be pretty dumb if you don’t know what a scroll is.” Said Luna. Opal gave her a stern look. “Luna, that’s not very nice to say about our team leader.” “Oh, come on. Why are you defending him? We know nothing about him truth be told, I really don’t know much about any of you, I only know a little about Blake considering who her parents is and something tells me you know Blake and vice versa.” Luna told Opal. Blaze stop looking through the suit case and sat down on his bed. “Alright, you want to know more about me, then fine. But, I have one condition, that you three have to talk about yourself first. No lies.” Those last words was direct at Opal and Blake which exchange a wary look. Then Blake nodded. “We will do it but there are things we don’t want to talk about, and we hope that you will respect that.” Blaze nodded. “That’s fair, just take of the bow, it just look stupid on you.” Somehow Blake just blushed, she didn’t know why. She decided to take of her bow, showing her cat ears. “That’s better.” He then look over to Opal to do the same thing. Opal just rolled her eyes. “Fine.” She removed the hair bun covers on her head showing the panda ears on her head. “Happy?” She ask with some annoyance. Blaze smiled. “Yes, I am. Why don’t you start Luna.” Luna was surprised, she didn’t expect to start. “Well, you already know my name. I am from Menagerie and I am seventeen years old. My parents are Gaia and Solaris…” That was all she could say when Opal cut her off. “Hold on moment, you parents are Gaia and Solaris? As in team GCSS (Gracilis)?” Opal ask her. Luna couldn’t help but groan. “Great, you've heard of them.” She said while laying down her ned. “Who hasn’t.” Blaze hadn’t, he had never heard about team GCSS, how could he. “I guess this team are famous.” “They are famous among Faunus they were he first team to be all Faunus, not only did the fight the Grimm but they also fought so the Faunus would be threated equality, and this was before the White Fang. But they disbanded twenty three years ago.” Luna didn’t move. “Yeah, my parents gave it all up when my mom where pregnant with my sister.” Blaze look at Blake. “Do you know about this team?” Blake nodded. “I have heard about them, but I have never meet them. I’m not even sure if my parents know them.” She answered. Blaze had to some reading later. “Is it more you want to tell us Luna?” He ask her. “Yes.” She sat up. “My semblance.” She look out the window and saw it was dark enough. “Can one of you turn off the lights.” That just confused them all. “Why?” Asked Opal. “My semblance work better when it’s dark.” Blaze was curious what this ‘semblance’ was, so he got up and turned off the light, the room went dark. “Thanks.” They wait and then they saw a light show from Luna’s bed, it was coming from her hands. “I can create light with my hands, but it works best at night.” When it was over, Blaze turned on the light. Blaze had to admit it, it was pretty impressive. He had never seen it before, and he would love to see what ells this semblance can do. Luna them look over to Opal. “Your turn.” Opal took deep breath. “My name is Opal Akaru and like Luna I was born on Menagerie. My parents names are, Ivory Akaru and Terra Cotta my mother is Faunus while my dad is a human…” Blaze cut her off. “Hold on, is that possible? It thought you could only have a Faunus child if both parents are Faunus.” “No, both parents don’t have to be Faunus.” Opal explained. “Huh, you learn something new every day.” Blaze said while sitting down on the bed again. The girls had no idea what to think about their leader, they would get their answer soon. Opal continued. “Anyway, I joined the White Fang when I was young because I wanted the Faunus to be threat equally but I left one year ago.” She hung her head and her ears drop when she said that last part. They wanted to ask why but decided to let her tell them when she was ready. “What’s your semblance?” Blaze ask her. That lighten her mood a little as she stretched out her arm and pointed at Blaze weapon, which was leaning against the wall. Then the weapon started to ‘walk’ on the floor. It scared Blaze. “What the hell?” He said while getting up on shock, it made the girls giggle. “I can control thing with my fingers.” Blaze took his spear and it stop walking Opal then look at her hand. “But I can’t control living things.” “That fine and all just don’t do that again, with my spear.” Blaze told her while placing the spear back on the wall. Then it was Blake’s turn. “My name is Blake Belladonna and like Luna and Opal, I was born on Menagerie. I also joined the White Fang for the same reason as Opal.” “Yeah and you became Adam Taurus personal favourite.” Opal said with some anger in her voice, Blake just look down with shame. “I can’t believe you followed him considering he kills humans.” Blake look at Opal. “I know alright, that’s part of reason I left the White Fang.” “Who is this Adam Taurus?” Blaze ask them. “Adam says that he is the solution the human trouble, or that he’s the saviour to the Faunus, he wants to get respect by brute force but that’s not the way, I used to see that way but not anymore.” Opal told them while crossing her arms. Then the awkward silence entered the room, until Blaze spoke. “Why don’t you show us your semblance, Blaze.” Nodded. “Right.” She stood up in the bed and then she jump on to the floor leaving a shadow of herself in her bed. “I can create a shadow double of myself.” Blaze got up and walk over to the shadow and tried to touch it, it disappeared when he did. He couldn’t help but be amazed by all of it. Sure, he had magic where he came from, but this was something ells. Here’s the question, did he have a semblance? He was fast but he was pretty sure that was not it, maybe he would discovered his in the future. “There, we have told us a little about ourselves, now it’s your turn.” Opal told him. “You already know my name, I’m twenty three. I was born in place called Cloudsdale…” “I have heard about that place.” Said Blake and Blaze look over to her with widen eyes, he didn’t expect that. “It’s a town up far in the north, I heard that they lived very isolated and they don’t leave very often. I also heard that they don’t have any technology.” “I guess that’s why he is so clueless about things he got from Professor Ozpin.” Luna said with a smirk on her face. “Luna, that’s not very nice.” Opal scolded her. “It’s alright Opal, I don’t mind.” He told her with a smile. “Anyway, when it comes to my parents, there’s no point in mention them because they died when I was ten and my sister died a year later.” That got all the girls to look at him with sadness in their eyes. “Don’t look at me like that, I don’t need your sympathy, or do I want it.” He told them. “I am going to take quick shower.” Before they could say anything, Blaze had disappeared in the bathroom. Meanwhile in team TRRA room. Tyr was currently sitting on bed, which was closest to the wall cleaning his out his weapon, especially the gun part. There’s was no way he was going to let get dirty. Rarity was sitting on the bed next to him reading a magazine, she really wanted the bed that was closest to the bathroom, but Dash had managed to snag that bed before her. Dash was lying on her back playing a game on her scroll, while Applejack decide to take shower since she missed before the initiation. Rarity couldn’t help but look up from her magazine and look at Tyr, he had taken of his jacket and sweater, he was currently only wearing his t-shirt on his upper body, which was sleeveless she could see his arm and he had muscles, she couldn’t help but blush a little. She watch as he spun the ammo chamber around, he then pointed at the wall and pulled the trigger. “That’s should do it.” He said while leaning the weapon against the wall. “You must really like that weapon.” Said Dash from her bed. “It’s my pride and joy.” Tyr answered with a smile which made Dash shock her head. One might wonder why Tyr and Dash aren’t fight like they did in the forest. After they was become a team and had to spend four years together, Applejack and Rarity had a little talk with their friend. They told Dash that she should apologize to Tyr for the way she behaved earlier, apologize to others wasn’t Dash’s style but she eventually did, even it was awkward. Tyr took the apologize with a smile. Rarity took look at her own weapon, which was hanging on bed, maybe she should take a look and see if it’s still working. She grabbed it and opened the bottom of the handle to see if there was dust or anything ells that could ruined it, it look clean. Rarity then took her bag which was one the floor beside the bed, she took out a vial of ice dust, she then insert the vial into the handle. “What are you doing?” Tyr ask with curiosity. Rarity just gave him a sly smile. “You’ll see.” She closed the lid and pressed a small button on the hand and the entire whip was covered in ice. “Well, it still work.” She look at Tyr, who had a shocked expression on his face, which made Rarity giggle. She turned it off and took out the vial. “How did you do that?” Tyr asked her. “Well, technically I didn’t do anything. My father made this whip for me before I left for Signal, if insert a vial of dust into the handle the entire whip gets infuse with dust. But I don’t use very much, considering how much dust cost.” Tyr just nodded. Then Applejack came out from the bathroom. “Now that was nice warm shower, considering Rarity took a shower before me.” She said while walking toward her bed, Dash just snicker when she heard that. Rarity look at her two friends with narrow eyes. “What’s wrong with taking a shower?” She ask Applejack. “Nothing.” Applejack sat down on her bed. “But your showers usually takes ten to fifty minutes.” Rarity placed a hand on her chest. “A lady always takes a proper shower.” She told her friends with her head high. “Does a lady always use all the hot water?” Rarity just crossed her arms of what Applejack said. “What were you talking about while took a shower?” She ask her team as she sat down on the bed. “Nothing much, Rarity was talking about her weapon.” Tyr answered her. Applejack nodded. “It’s special, that’s for sure.” Then Rainbow had to speak. “It’s call the whip master.” She laugh of her own joke. Rarity’s cheek became red, Applejack look at Rainbow with a blank look and Tyr just tiled his head to the side. “Really?” Said Tyr. Rarity became even more red. “No, it’s not called that. I call my whip Belle, that’s the last name of my family. My name is better than Rainbow’s weapon.” Rainbow stop playing the game and sat up. “Hey, there’s nothing wrong with Thunder Striker. One of my daggers is Thunder and the other one is Striker, Thunder Striker.” Tyr didn’t think was that bad. “What about your weapon Applejack? What’s it call?” He ask her. Applejack look at her axe which was leaning against the wall close to her bed. “I call her Cabrakan.” She said with a smile on her face. She then look at her leader. “What about yours Tyr?” She ask him. “I call mine the Lawgiver.” Both Applejack and Rarity like it but Dash, she just shrugged her shoulders. “Eh, I have heard better names and that.” She then laid back down and keep playing the game on her scroll. While team BBLO and TRRA had normal conversations, one couldn’t say that about team EYWR. Right after they had chosen beds, Weiss had started to complain about Ruby and that she was too young to be in Beacon, that she was Ozpin personal favourite. Ruby tried to tell her that she was not, but Weiss didn’t want to listen. “I keep telling you Weiss, I am not Professor Ozpin personal favourite.” “Then how do explain that you managed to get into Beacon two years earlier?” While they were arguing, Ebony and Yang was sitting on the beds watching the whole thing. Ebony thought it was funny while Yang was concerned they would end up fighting. “Why aren’t you stopping this?” Yang asked Ebony. Ebony look at the blond with a raised eyebrow. “Why do I have do it? It’s your sister that Weiss is arguing with.” “Your team leader, is your job to make sure that they get along.” Ebony wasn’t sure if that was true or not, but one thing was for sure, they were arguing over a stupid thing. She let out a frustrated. “Fine.” She took one of her daggers and threw it between Ruby and Weiss. Both girl jump back when the dagger landed between them, Weiss was not happy. “What’s wrong with? Why do you keep throwing dagger at me?” She ask in an angry voice. Ebony got up and walk over to them. “I’m not throwing at you princess, I did it so you two would stop arguing.” She said while picking the dagger up from the floor. “Your arguing was getting on my nerves do you have to argue with everyone you meet?” She ask Weiss. “I don’t have to argue with everyone I meet.” Weiss answer with some anger in her voice. Ebony raised an eyebrow. “Oh no?” She pointed at Ruby. “When you first meet Ruby, you shouted at her because she knock over your suitcase that contained dust.” Weiss wanted to say something, but Ebony didn’t let her. “I know that dust is dangerous in that form, but it was clearly an accident that was cause by Yang.” All girls look over to the blond who tried to look as innocent as she could be, it didn’t work. “Then in the main hall you keep yelling at her even she said she was sorry.” Weiss was a little surprise that Ebony knew that. “Yes, I saw that. Then you yell at Blaze. For what? I don’t know, I didn’t hear what. Then you were angry at me, for what? Steeling your moment?” She said that last with a snort. Weiss placed both hands on her hips. “How did you know that?” That took Ebony off guard. “I was right?” She then scratched her head. “That last part was just a wild guess. Look, what I am trying to say here is, do you have to argue with everyone that do things you don’t like or is this just Schnee part of you? You are right and everyone else is wrong?” Weiss hated to admit it, but Ebony was right. She have argued and yelled at people and Faunus for no reason. It look like it was an accident when Ruby feel on her suitcase, she yelled at Blaze just because he wanted to help Ruby. And maybe she reacted wrong when Ebony took out those Grimm before her. “I think I’m going to get ready for bed.” Before anyone of them could say anything, Weiss had taken her stuff and head into the bathroom. Then silence entered the room until Ebony spoke “Well, that went well.” She walk back to her bed which was between Ruby and Yang, she laid down on it. Yang, who had the bed closet to the wall, just watch whole thing didn’t know what to say. Ruby sat down on her bed. “Thanks Ebony, for helping me.” Ebony just waved her hand. “Don’t mention.” “Do you have something against Weiss and her family?” Yang asked her leader. “Not exactly, I just don’t like that people that live in Atlas. Always looking down on other who has nothing.” “That’s a little harsh.” Said Ruby. “A little harsh?” Ebony sat up. “Have one of you been to Mantle before?” She asked the sisters both shook their heads. “I have, in my third year in Oscuro I decided to take a trip to Mantle to see what it was like and let me tell you, it was not pretty. Humans and Faunus barely get by of what they make, they also get attack by Grimm almost every day and what does the people in Atlas? Nothing. I saw one team defend Mantle and those so called Ace Operative did nothing.” She laid down on bed again with her hands behind her head. “The pride of Atlas, yeah right.” “That can’t be the only reason you hate Atlas.” Said Yang. She sat up, again. “Look, Vacuo and Atlas has never gotten along and there are many reason, but the reason main reason is the Atlas is so high tech and Vacuo is not. I think there’s some other reason, but I don’t know what.” She then started to rub her forehead. “Can we please talk about this another day, I’m tired and want to sleep.” She then let out a yawn. “Yeah, that’s a good idea.” Said Yang. “Thank you.” Ebony then jump out of the bed and started to strip by taking of her vest, then she started to take of her shorts. Then she notice both sisters looking at her. “What?” “What are you doing?” Ruby asked her. “I’m getting ready for bed, is there something wrong with that?” She ask them, “One usually change their clothes in the bathroom, not in front of other.” Ruby told her. “Aren’t we all girls?” Ebony had a point. “And besides, I prefer to sleep naked.” Before either sister could say anything, Ebony took of her bra showing her breast. Then Weiss came out from the bathroom in her pyjamas. “I’m ready for…” The words died when she saw Ebony just standing there in her panties, her cheeks became red. “What are you doing?” She ask in a high pitch voice. Ebony just rolled her eyes. “What’s wrong with me sleeping naked? I’m not ashamed of my body. Hell, I would probably run naked through Beacon if they let me.” All three look at her as she was crazy.” Oh, grow up.” Ebony took of her panties and went to bed.
