The roaring engines of the airship do well to fill the nervous silence within the cabin you're currently standing in. Today is the beginning of your life at Beacon Academy. Years of training, hard work and discipline at your combat school have brought you here, the place where the finest hunters are made. According to the kind pilot prior to leaving, the trip would roughly be an hour long and while you're not entirely how much time has passed, you get the feeling you'll be on the flying hunk of metal for a while longer. Luckily, you're not alone. In the cabin with you are four other students, one boy and three girls. All are outfitted in their combat gear and weaponry, holding their luggage or sitting on it as they pass the time.
Unfortunately, you know none of these kind folks. You vaguely recall seeing the male among the student body back at Beacon, but you had never shared any classes with him, let alone knew his name. His dark brown eyes are focused on the television mounted on the airship wall, a rather foul look on his face as he watches what you assume is the news. You doubt he's going to make for good company. The other three are total unknowns. One of them is a rather tomboyish looking lass, with saggy purple hair offset by a pair of goggles on top of her head. Her big, dark blue eyes are fixated on the over sized lance in her lap, which she seems to be tinkering with, no doubt making last minute adjustments to her weapon.
The final two students seem to be a pair, and a comical one at that. The one which immediately catches your attention seems to be human. She's quite large, far taller than yourself or even the boy sharing the room with you. Not only is she imposing in height, but the thick arms she sports prove that her physique is just as impressive. A real amazonian. Her short brown hair and well tanned skin doesn't do anything to sway the very butch air she has about herself. Her companion seems to off set that well. A rather short, petite young lady stands next to her, whining to the taller girl about having to carry her own luggage. She's quite a pretty young thing, with long flowing white hair dotted by what appears to be fox ears that flicker about as she drones on to her large friend, who shoots her an amused look. A massive human and a tiny faunus, both of which seem to be friends.
What do you wish to do? You could just sit alone for the rest of the ride to Beacon, or you could try to strike up conversation with any of the other students to pass a lil' time.
