Got together five of my protagonist OCs from each of my series to do this because I found it actually very addictive. Be warned: I might do another. Anyway, you can find the OC stuff below:

JOAQUIN COBALT (THE UNTITLEDVERSE)

Name: Joaquin Cobalt

Universe: Various (Jurassic World, IT, Stranger Things, Gravity Falls, & more...)

Favorite book (and why): "Wonder" - R. J. Palacio. Wonder is honestly a book that helped Joaquin during his transition (and after a very distressing encounter with the Chairman), allowing him to be put into the shoes of another who goes through similar microaggressions based on his existence alone, and the hope he feels that... he isn't a mistake like the Chairman had insisted he was. That he is a wonder for simply existing against the odds (and reality according to the Chairman). It was also a gift from Maisie, and it was a stepping stone that gave him the confidence to let down his walls and share his personal feelings and fears with her (and eventually, he is able to open up to many others).

Favorite song: "World's Smallest Violin" - AJR.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Leather jacket. Tough and helps keeps him warm.

Favorite "little treat": Lemon Cake or Lamingtons.

Favorite person in their lives: Maisie Lockwood; Mario Emmet & Calvin Dearing; Lisa Cobalt.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): A regular two-story house somewhere near the woods.

Dream life: A regular one where he lives with his best friends and doesn't have to worry about the world ending.

SILVA OMAR (THE SILVER CHRONICLES)

Name: Sylvester Silva Omar (Note: Sylvester was the name Adam gave her, meanwhile "Silva" was what Paul and everyone nicknamed her... after the deaths of Persephone and Paul, she rejected her "Sylvester" identity in favor of the stronger "Silva" one).

Universe: Far Cry 5 & Far Cry New Dawn.

Favorite book (and why): "Frankenstein" - Mary Shelley. She can't help but compare herself to the monster, as both are outsiders to society and (to what she had been pushed to believe) is a failure to their fathers and the ideals they worshiped (Dr. Frankestein and his science, Adam Omar and his God). Silva also enjoyed the likes of "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Silva is a big fan of gothic and romance novels (a bonus if it's both), sometimes with a little bit of mystery and a pinch of depression.

Favorite song: "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" - Kate Bush.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Turtleneck sweater. However since she can't always wear that, the trench coat when she's out and about.

Favorite "little treat": Cranberry Pie.

Favorite person in their lives: Previously it was Elsa, Irene, Persephone and Paul. Now it's Azriel, Faith, Mercy, Sharky, the Ryes, Joey, Pratt and Ezekiel. Kamski's on thin ice.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): Her residence in the Whitetail Mountains near the Henbane River. It's home.

Dream life: To simply live a normal, productive life (whether that be helping out the community of Fall's End or protecting Hope County as a deputy). No cults, no violence, just peace with a little adventure exploring America and possibly traveling with her family. She wants to watch her kids grow up, she wants to be with the love of her life until they're old.

HAOYU ANABUKI (LIFE, DESPAIR & MONSTERS)

Name: Haoyu Anabuki

Universe: Various (Doki Doki Literature Club, Love Death + Robots, Poppy Playtime, & more...)

Favorite book (and why): Haoyu doesn't like reading. The closest thing they've fully and completely enjoyed reading is the "Southern Reach" trilogy and they can't even begin to explain WHY they liked it so much. Honestly a surprise Haoyu was able to successfully bullshit their way into the Literature Club.

Favorite song: "Are You Bored Yet?" - Wallows.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Belt.

Favorite "little treat": Cookies-and-Cream Ice Cream.

Favorite person in their lives: Monika and Icarus. Everyone else sucks despite the fact Haoyu goes to save them anyway.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): Caravan.

Dream life: A caravan roadtrip lifestyle. Drifting from place-to-place, doing gigs and odd jobs, using their abilities for any reason that doesn't include leaving one universe. As long as their boyfriend and sister is with them, Haoyu is happy. A life of adventure on the road doesn't sound so bad on paper.

ORTEGA "ORE" BRANTLEY (A RADIOACTIVE CALAMITY OF LOVE, BOMBS & GORE)

Name: Ortega "Ore" Brantley

Universe: Fallout (1997), Fallout 2, Fallout 3 & Fallout New Vegas.

Favorite book (and why): "Things Fall Apart" - Chinua Achebe, a surviving copy oddly enough. Also "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. These books gave him an insightful look in how change and societies can occur due to circumstances often within but also out of the control of others; much like the post-apocalypse he lives in, plus allowing him to understand the politics of the old world in a way. It also helped him develop his own sense of masculinity, educated mind and humanity, differing from his father, Arcane Urias.

Favorite song: "Big Iron" - Marty Robbins.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: He'll always be appreciative of the ranger face/mask-helmet that Elrand (the Vault Dweller) and the Brotherhood had implemented into his face after it had been mutilated by Urias.

Favorite "little treat": Ore doesn't need to eat (a benefit(?) of being Urias' son I suppose). He can just consume the radiation from the sun and surrounding waste. However, he does like to treat himself to Ruby's Radscorpion casserole though.

Favorite person in their lives: Marissa "Ress" Bishop; Ryder (the Courier Six); Elrand Brandt; Finidy Mona (the Chosen One); & Marcus.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): A farm in Goodsprings probably; he likes the place, and he can fix up the school to actually become a education center for the children.

Dream life: After he kills his father, Ore plans to settle down in a place like Goodsprings probably, and put his vast amount of knowledge that he's gathered over the years into good use as a teacher when he fixes up the school for the children while Ryder continues her couriering. He expects Ress to drift in and out of his life, probably going on adventure after adventure as expected of his lively and restless sister. Maybe reach out to some old companions like Marcus, Goris and Lenny, or even visit newer ones in the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave. However, he'd never reach this dream... not when he chases after Aggravor into the Divide for a forlorn hope that Ryder was alive...

MARISSA "RESS" BISHOP (A RADIOACTIVE CALAMITY OF LOVE, BOMBS & GORE)

Name: Marissa "Ress" Bishop

Universe: Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas & Fallout 4.

Favorite book (and why): She doesn't have a favorite book. Closest thing is Piper Wright's newspapers, simply because they're funny and wacky and she likes Piper.

Favorite song: "The Wanderer" - Dion DiMucci.

Favorite piece of clothing they own: Her sunglasses.

Favorite "little treat": Fancy Lads Snack Cakes.

Favorite person in their lives: Her Bishop Crime Family; Ortega "Ore" Brantley; Alph Dolen & Amata Almodovar + Butch DeLoria; The King, FONV companions + Red Lucy and Sarah Weintraub; Piper and Nat Wright, Nate Gust Sarid & the FO4 companions.

Dream home (if there were no obstacles, financial or otherwise): After the adventure she went on to kill her dad for her dead bro, she honestly wouldn't mind moving in with Piper in her apartment(?).

Dream life: After taking a break from killing her Urias, Ress would go back onto adventures out in the Wasteland of America, but would always return to the Commonwealth back to Piper and Nat.

What was the worst team-building exercise your OCs have had to do? (for as many or as few of your teams as you'd like) ( Asked by @belladonna-schnee, ah hell yes OC ask)

Alician, sitting in the cafeteria, a plate loaded with food in front of her, snarling as she rips into a chunk of meat: Anytime I have to babysit birdbrain over here.

Iccarus, sitting across from her, rolls his eyes as he forms a small coin of ice to roll between his fingers, bored: Oh shut up.

Verrus, sitting beside Alician, carefully examining a piece of candy in her hand, without looking away from it: Be kind to eachother, a partner who argues is a partner who attracts a Puhn'Di.

Iccarus, shaking his head with a confused look at Verrus, then slumps forward: Oooh...probably that time we, as a team, got our asses handed to us by Professor Xiao Long.

Alician, grimacing: Oh why did you have to remind me? The whole fricken school was watching.

Verrus, breaking her focus from the candy, hanging her head in defeat: It was...humiliating...yes.

Nekros, who's been sitting next to Iccarus, across from Verrus, glaring intently at the candy in her hand, vibrating with anticipation, her voice a raspy growl: Worst...being alone...No team...sad.

Alician, making an awkward attempt to be cheerful: Awwwwh, heh, you do care about us Nek-...oh.

Verrus, raises her head to see the candy gone from her hand, Nekros hopped up on the table right in front of her, crouched and eating the candy ravenously, wrapper and all: ...that was mine.

Iccarus, rolls his eyes and leans back, bumping into someone: Eh, sorry about th-...Oh. It's you.

Robin, looking down at Iccarus with contempt, then sits down on beside him with a plate of food: You all might've had to fight Professor Xiao Long, but at least you learned something from that.

Ophelia, plopping her plate down next to Alician, sitting beside them as the rest of ORNJ join in, after some quick greetings she leans in and points to Nekros: So uhh, why is your freak on the table?

Iccarus, immediately turning defensive, motioning his head towards Robin as Nekros slithers off the table back to her seat, leaving a smoky trail: Why is yours?

Ophelia, her burst of laughter cutting out Robin's angry shout, nods: HAH! You got me.

Verrus, leaning forward to speak past Alician, who quickly grows jealous of the attention: Ophelia, Robin stated you all had an exercise as well, but said yours was one with no lesson. Is that true?

Jessca, groans from beside Robin, letting her head hit the table: That was so stupid!

Nia, sitting politely across from her, her blind eyes unblinking: It was certainly...interesting.

Ophelia, rolls her eyes, grabbing an olive from her plate and pops it in her mouth: Aye. Dickhead over there caused an issue with Belladonna, probably said something racist-

Robin, snarling, under his breath: The damn mangey cat. Wouldn't be surprised if Headmistress Schnee had fleas cause of her.

Ophelia, nodding: Case and point. Anyways, we had to push a boulder up a hill.

Alician, shrugs, flexing a bit in a failed attempt to get Verrus's attention: Sounds easy.

Jessca, sitting back up, crossing her arms: It was.

Nia, sighing: The first few times.

Verrus, raising an eyebrow, paying no mind to Alician: I'm sorry?

Ophelia, rubbing her eyes: My muscles are sore just talking about it...every time the boulder was nearly to the top, a "unfortunate" incident would send it tumbling back down to the bottom. We weren't allowed to rest until it sat atop the hill.

Iccarus, wincing: Ouch.

Ophelia, popping in another olive: Aye, and it's funny too. I'm pretty sure my father told me of a myth that was something like that too, which is either a weird coincidence...or my people aren't as secluded as I was told to believe.

Charlotte, making nearly all of them jump as she pushes her way between Alician and Ophelia, slamming her hand down on the table: G'day kiddos, talkin bout exercises ya?

Charlotte, smiles when everyone nods: Aye well, you lot haven't seen nothin. Back when FCSA died, Headmistress Schnee went nuts with our team based training. Absolute bonkers. Be glad she calmed down, ya?

Verrus, curious: Were you and CNMN good friends with FCSA?

Charlotte, shrugs, leaning away from the table, tugging a bit on her vest: Eh? We weren't the best o' mates but they were an alright bunch. I had no problems with em, was a real shame they died.

Charlotte, her voice growing low, causing the Freshman to all lean in to strain to listen: Team YLLW though, I'd be careful just how much o' FCSA you mention round them, their Yvonne, her brother was on FCSA, ya?

Iccarus, nods, casting glances to his friends: Yeah...thanks for the advice.

Charlotte, laughs heartily, returning to her easygoing self: Anyway, I've gotta hit the trail. My team is bein a big hassle somewhere that ain't here and I gotta solve it. So long!

Jessca, after giving her goodbyes along with everyone else, leans forward: Maybe...We should talk to Yvonne and learn more about FCSA?

Alician, wide eyed: Are you nuts!? Sure let's go ask our school mate about her dead brother that'll go well.

Verrus, nodding, her fingers pressed against her chin: I would be lying were I to say I am uninterested. Perhaps we should speak to YLLW.

Robin, shrugs: Sure, why not?

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/travel/how-this-australian-tourist-town-rose-from-the-ashes/

How this Australian tourist town rose from the ashes

(CNN) — It’s only the forest of swaying Eucalyptus trees, marking the path up toward Steavenson Falls in Marysville, Victoria that betrays a hint of the calamity inflicted here 10 years ago.

This forest tourist town in Australia was so badly ravaged by the intense flames of a raging bushfire on February 7, 2009 it was wiped off the map.

Some trunks still wear a blackened outer layer, but it doesn’t spoil the view, beauty or ambiance. Nearly all the trees are regenerating, the ones that fell or were blighted for good have long since been removed.

And nearly a decade on, the town is firmly back on the tourist trail for local and international visitors alike as an ideal forest break across all seasons.

Back on the tourist trail

Then/now: Visitors to Marysville will find it hard to believe a fire wiped the town off the map just 10 years ago.

The rebirth of Marysville once seemed impossible.

In 2009, the town made headlines around the world due to the extent of the damage. Some 34 people died in the area.

The day was soon dubbed “Black Saturday,” such was the horrendous loss of life, livestock, public buildings and property.

In the town itself, consisting of a pretty main street of shops, cafes and boutiques surrounded by residential houses, farms and holiday accommodation, over 400 buildings were destroyed, with just 14 remaining. Even the primary school and police station were destroyed.

Marysville residents were left to rebuild their lives, homes and businesses from scratch.

With great stoicism they stayed on, even though it would have been understandable for them to want to leave such horrific memories behind and start afresh elsewhere.

It took many years of sheer grit and determination, plus complex and fraught legal and insurance claims, for Marysville to rise from the ashes.

Weekend escapes

Ten years on, Marysville is an ideal weekend getaway.

Today, thanks to new architecture and years of determined and painstaking work, Marysville — about 100 kilometers from Melbourne — is an ideal weekend getaway with a European-style ski resort ambiance.

In winter (between June and September) it plays host as the perfect base camp for a day trip to Lake Mountain Alpine Resort, a 25-minute drive further up into the ranges.

At the resort you can pay for a day pass for children to go on toboggan rides. There are also skiing and snowboarding runs for the adults, or more adventurous youngsters, and you can hire ski-wear and boots for all ages and sizes.

In summer months, the town sees a surge in mountain bikers, hikers and those who just want to relax in a town away from the city, just 90 minutes by car, and drink lattes over the weekend magazine supplements.

It’s an ideal launch pad for hikes into the forests too. There are easy, steady inclines where you can cross streams and spot birdlife, then tuck into tea and traditional Australian lamingtons — mini sponge cakes coated in chocolate and shredded coconut — back down the paths at the town’s bakery.

Other eateries include The Duck Inn, where guests can indulge in a relaxed lunch of simple dishes including duck gnocchi and salad, washed down with wines from the nearby Yarra Valley wineries. (6 Murchison St, Marysville; +61 3 5963 3437)

Accommodation options have improved with the town’s rebuild. A sparkling new Vibe hotel has become a central point of the main street, complete with pool and a bar and restaurant that becomes a social hub after dark. (32-42 Murchison Street, Marysville; +61 3 5957 7700)

Stories of resilience

Marysville offers easy access to many scenic and family-friendly hiking trails.

Visiting Marysville’s Old Fashioned Lolly Shop to stock up on fuel for the hikes, you can find one of many miraculous stories of survival. (8 Murchison St, Marysville; +61 3 5963 3644)

Owner Sue Jones tells of how she was lucky to survive the fires, which burnt down the shop and very nearly took her life.

As a volunteer firefighter at the time she found herself trapped in the fire station as the blaze raged around her.

“We all rang our kids and relatives and said goodbye,” she recalls. “I just didn’t think we would make it.”

Jones says she then made her way with the other volunteers, and many other trapped locals, to the oval of grass behind the main street where they spent the night watching the hills around them burn.

“Once we were on the oval I knew we’d be alright,” she says.

Like many, Jones is hugely proud of how her newly built shop is thriving and the town has recovered.

“It’s so beautiful here again, you can hardly tell a fire swept through the place.”

10 years on

Mayor Charlotte Bisset says the Marysville fires do not define the region nor its people.

courtesy Tourism Victoria

Visitors interested in the impact of the fires and the rebuilding of the town can experience a moving exhibition of photographs and stories within the new tourist information center.

Maryville’s mayor, Charlotte Bisset, tells CNN Travel the town has shown “extraordinary resilience” after the bushfire.

“They came together and created a new vision for their towns and communities, then set about making those visions a reality,” she says.

“The recovery and rebuild efforts were bolstered by the hard work and generosity of individuals, private businesses, NGOs and all three tiers of government.”

Bisset says the area is a great place to “live, work and play.”

Like many in the town, the mayor also stresses that, a decade on from the destruction, the fires do not define the region nor its people.

“As immense a tragedy as the 2009 fires were, they failed to dampen the human spirit,” she says.

“Instead, faced with mighty challenges, the people of Marysville and other affected towns have made the most of opportunities and continue to do so.”

A Grimm Assembly pt. 1 (testing this format for longer posts)

“So what’s the deal with this,” Iccarus looked to his teammates, the four of them standing among the crowd of students on the entrance path to the school, “It’s nearly the dead of night,” his eyes were staring at the soft glow of the lanterns alongside the path, “What’s the Headmistress doing calling for an assembly?” “And outside of all places,” Alician whined with a sigh, giving off a quick shiver, “I should have brought a jacket.” “Hey! Birdbrain!” With a tinge of surprise, Iccarus turned towards the voice. A dozen feet away Robin and the rest of Team ORNJ were pushing their way through the crowd to stand beside them. Once finally meeting up and getting a quick greeting out of the way, the teams shared their joint curiosity.

“Any idea what’s going on?” “No,” Alician answered Robin, a frown spreading on her face, “We got the same message as you probably.” “This one?” Ophelia lifted her scroll up to show Team VILT the message plastered on its screen. “Calling all students to report to the Entrance Field for an assembly,” Iccarus read the message out loud, confirming everyone’s inquiry by pulling his own scroll out and showing the very same message, “Yep, that very one.”

“Hey, hey look!” The teams turned towards Jessca’s pointed finger, looking out towards what appears to be a small stage set up in front of the crowd of students, a hush flows through the crowd as people take up the stage. “Headmistress Schnee and Professor Belladonna,” Ophelia took a glance through those standing up on the stage, “Professor Arc is there too.” “As are Professors Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie,” Verrus, who towers over most of the other students and could easily see those still on the further parts of the stage, “As well as some others I do not recognize.” “Professor Valkyrie is here,” Nia said with a yawn, her arms folded in the sleeves of her robe, “How odd, she rarely attends anything.” “The pain she suffers is unimaginable,” Verrus’s voice comes off as a growl, her eyes glaring down to the much shorter girl, “Even you must see that.”

 Before Nia could respond the teams heard a familiar shout, all eight turned in tandem to see Team CNMN coming their way. Charlotte Lamington making her way through the crowd with her teammates in tow and giving off another shout. “Oy! How y’kids doin’?” “Exhausted,” Alician exclaimed with a fist bump to Nuri and Nikolay. “I have to agree with her,” Ophelia sighed, “We’ve been here for half an hour and whatever Headmistress Weiss wants to do hasn’t started yet.” “Crikes,” Charlotte looked over to her teammate, Marquis Chouquette, “You got any idea yeah?” “No, unfortunately,” Marquis spoke eloquently as he pulled a locket from his breast pocket, despite it being the middle of the night his appearance was still well kept and impressive, “However I would not expect it to be like this too much longer, it appears more are taking the stage.”

Teams VILT and ORNJ collectively turned back towards the stage, the faculty having now formed a line with Weiss and Blake standing up front speaking to each other. Jaune was standing beside Nora and doing his best to comfort her along with Ren as she was visibly shaking with a nervous tic, Verrus stated there was a handful of the other staff standing along with them too, but none of genuine interest. Except one. “Charlotte, you are a third year, correct?” “Uhh,” Charlotte’s eyes narrowed in curiosity, “Yeah, we’re one of the few junior teams, why?” “Who is that Gold-Hair?” Verrus’s teammates, as well as team ORNJ looked up towards the stage, standing as tall as possible to see who it was that she spoke of. Sure enough, hidden on the edge of the stage was a beautiful blonde haired woman whose body and stance emanated strength and power, her face, however, held a bittersweet look as she longingly glared at Blake and Weiss. “Oh...her,” Charlotte nodded, “That gal, that’s Yang Xiao Long.” “Honorary professor here,” said Nikolay, “Though she spends most time adventuring.” “No little brother,” Nuri shook his head, “She IS professor, no honorary title needed.” “Well if she’s a teacher,” Jessca turned towards the older students, “Why doesn’t she teach?” “She does,” Marquis tapped his cane on the ground to gain his peer’s attention, “She teaches a handful of subjects; hand to hand combat, semblance control, weapon diversity training.” “Well, why haven’t we seen her before?” “Ah very simple little cat,” Nuri slammed Alician’s back with a heavy hand and gave off a laugh, “Like little brother said, she adventures.” “There is more to it than that,” Verrus, who hasn’t taken her eyes off Yang the entire time, “There is a pain in her heart that prevents her from picking a single path.” “If I could get close enough to touch her,” stated Ophelia, referencing her semblance, “We could probably learn more about it.” “Wait a minute,” Iccarus said out loud, a statement that claimed the full attention of his classmates, “She wouldn’t have any relation to Beacon before the Great Grimm Attack, would she?” “Ay, she was a student then, she was part of the Headmistress’s team,” Charlotte answered his question, but responded quickly with her own, “Why?” “Weiss and Blake’s team...team RWBY,” Iccarus’s eyes were locked intently on the ground in front of him, his fingers wrapped on his chin in thought, “The leader...” “Ruby Rose,” Robin finished Iccarus’s thought, becoming the new center of his peer’s focus, “Ruby Rose, that would be Yang Xiao Long’s half sister.”

 Robin defensively held up his hands at the interrogation by Jessca and Ophelia, telling them, and by extension everyone around them, that he learned this information from his father. Alician stated that it was odd they weren’t taught about any of this in the course dedicated to teaching the events of Beacon’s downfall, to which most agreed, the Headmistress’s very own team seemed to be drowned in history and forgotten. The very team that took Beacon by storm, who all these mystical rumors and legends focus upon

“Have you ever seen this Ruby Rose?” “Hmph,” Charlotte could only look towards Verrus and shake her head, “Well, we aren’t supposed to talk about this much, but...” The younger students leaned in, following Charlotte’s motion to do so, giving each other nervous glances as the older student looked around for any eavesdroppers.

“Okay, listen,” a statement that hardly had to be said, all eyes and ears were focused on her, “You lot need to be careful about Ruby Rose, whatever rumors or ancient tales you’ve heard about her are pointless. She’s different now. She’s not who she once was and those are the words given to us by her own sister.” Charlotte stood up straight, her eyes glaring a warning to the two teams before her, “Ruby Rose is NOT the hero she was on the path to becoming, her eyes are dead, revenge is the only thought filling her mind, I suggest if you ever see her to not cross her in the slightest. She will not hesitate to kill you to achieve her goal.”

“Ahem,” Weiss’s voice cleared the clearing of any other noise, all murmurings halted in their tracks and the collective turning of heads and bodies sounding like wind flowing through a forest, her stance was strong and demanded respect, it was given, “Thank you all for coming at such short notice. We will now begin.”

Team CNMN meets early VIL(T)!

Nuri, stamping down Beacon's entrance path with his younger brother beside him, his teammates slacking behind: THERE! The young one sits beneath tree brother, you see?

Nikolay, rubbing his chin and nods: I see big brother. I see. That is tiny freshman who took best meat right from Vatrushka brothers yes?

Nuri, clasping his hands together, raising them above his head, a comical expression of anger on his face: It is!

Alician, looking up from her recently-polished Kubikuri just in time to see Nuri, several meters away, smash his hands into the ground, causing the earth to shatter in her direction: Wh-what tHE HELL?!

Alician, jumping up back into the tree she was just leaning against, quickly pulling out her scroll and entering the S.O.S command, gritting her teeth: Who does he think he is, busting into my relaxation time?

Alician, a tight two handed grip on the hilt of her giant sword, a smirk stretching on onto her face: Guess it doesn't matter then does i-

Nikolay, having reached the bottom of the tree, wraps his arms around the trunk and gives out a roar as he rips it up from the ground, tossing it aside with near ease: You stole from Vatrushka brothers! You pay price in blood!

Alician, having been tossed from the tree and sent ragdolling across the grounds for a moment, her weapon jabbing into the earth in front of her, grabbing onto it to aide her standing up, breathless: I...I never stole anything, what are you talking about?

Nikolay, charging ahead at his target, a fist pulled back and ready to strike: You took from Vatrushka! You took our rightful property!

Alician, gripping her her sword's hilt and stands motionless, watching Nikolay charge forward: Come on then big guy. Show me what you've got!

Nuri, having moved in a flash to cut in between his brother and Alician, clasping his bare hands upon the sides of the giant sword, squating beneath it, a bead of sweat falling from his brow: Brother. It seems we have underestimated young one's strength. As for you, you charge in reckless! Bad move.

Nikolay, having been pushed back by his brother, now laying on the ground, comical tears streaming down his face: Big...big brother! I am so very sorry to disappoint you!

Alician, with one hand on the hilt and the other gripped onto the blade's back, a smile crosses her face: You really did underestimate my strength.

Alician, pulling her hands back from the sword and raises them nonchalantly in the air: How's that?

Nuri, his eyes shooting open wide as his arms begin to tremble, the weight of the sword slowly pushing him downwards: N-Nyet! Impossible...no student can be stronger than Vatrushka...!

~~~

Verrus, charging forward down the main entrance path with Iccarus along her side, noticing the fight up ahead: It appears we were slightly too late. We must join in to save our teamma-

Charlotte, stepping lazily in front of Verrus from behind a tree, her hands crossed behind her head: Oy, you the boss o' that lass eh?

Verrus, stopping dead in her tracks, looking over to Alician, who is still standing still, and then back to Charlotte: I am sorry. I do not understand your vernacular.

Charlotte, sigh and rubs the back of her head: Ay. I guess that's what you get when a desert dweller meets someone from the golden isles off Vale's coast eh? Come in for quite a misunderstandin, crikes.

Charlotte: Eh, anyways. The fight is over, I'll get Nuri and Nikolay's off ya pal's back, you recall 'er then, yeah?

~~~

Nikolay, grabbing hold of the sword and helps his brother toss it aside, both stand and stare down Alician: It appears she is strong brother.

Nuri, nods, stepping towards Alician: To wield such a weapon, she must be muscles upon muscles.

Alician, prepping herself for hand to hand combat, gritting her teeth, her voice loud but trembling: DON'T UNDERESTIMATE ME!

Nuri, with a raised eyebrow, stopping a foot in front of his opponent, and places a large hand upon her head, giving out a hearty laugh: BAAAAHAHAHAHA. Brother! The teeth! She is but tiny kit! Tiny but very strong. Tell you what, Vatrushka brothers forgive you for taking best meat at lunch.

Nuri, leans forward to have eye contact: In fact. We shall let you eat best meat, but only pieces we choose for you.

Nikolay, protesting: But brother! We will starve!

Nuri, shaking his head, standing back up straight and places his fists to his hips: No. We will do fine. As for you tiny kit. We shall fight again, I look forward to that day. Until then, get even stronger!

Alician, the confused look in her face melting away into a big smile: Heh, you got it big guy. But don't think I'll go easy on you next time!

~~~

Marquis, standing tall with his cane placed firmly on the ground: I cannot believe those savages, oui? I apologize for their trouble, I truly hope your friend is not too discouraged.

Iccarus, looking up and down the very well dressed student: Uhhh....yeah, yeah thanks.

Iccarus, staring down at Alician, quietly and to himself: Did that guy say...she's a faunus?

Charlotte, with a yawn: Verrus right? I read a bit about you when I saw how well you handled the entrance exam. Hell, I 'ave to say you're impressive....as an individual.

Charlotte, staring up to the sky: Eh, maybe your team will be better than CNMN one day. But don't expect that day to come soon, keep working on teamwork though, besides, you still need that fourth member too, yeah?

Verrus, having Iccarus and now Alician at her side, watching team CNMN begin to walk away towards the school: I shall do my best then. If I have your team to beat, regardless if we are a team of three or four.

Introducing Team CNMN!

Nuri, in a panic at the dining hall's buffet line: Ahh! Nikolay? Do you see problem here?

Nikolay, equally panicked: No Big Brother, I see nothing, and THAT is problem!

Nuri, clenching his giant fists, tears welling up in his eyes: We wait all morning for food! And now, best meat! Is Gone!

Nikolay, shaking his fist, his eyes equally tearing up: Is never gone! Best meat must be for Vatrushka brothers, for none other, yah?

Nuri, shaking a finger: Nyet Little Brother, best meat for everyone. But is true that Vatrushka MUST get first taste.

Nikolay, now hysterically sobbing: Oh Nuri! Is true! You are most generous man!

Charlotte, with an exasperated sigh, overlooking the monstrous teeth that go round her chiller hat: Oi, you two bloody idiots done? If ya want the meat so bad I saw some freshman taking it back to 'er table, now if you buzz off so the rest of us can get somethin'.

Nuri and Nikolay, both flaring up with anger, collectively roaring: Freshman!?!?!? Little pups do not DESERVE best meat yet!

Marquis, with an uncaring tone: You...do know that freshman may not survive their wrath, oui?

Charlotte, putting a few grilled prawns onto her plate: I could care less, I just wanted some grub.

Marquis, rolling his eyes: Oh of course, you do know tha-

Charlotte, pointing to her teammate: Listen mate. Two words yeah? Shut. Up.

Marquis, scoffs and taps his cane on the ground: How barbaric!

~~~~~

Verrus, tilting her head to look behind Alician, who's chomping down on a plethora of meats: Hmm...Alician. It seems you've gained someone's interest.

Alician, freezes and blinks twice, a lamb leg chomped in place in her mouth, she then immediately drops her food and jumps up into a spin to face behind her: ARE THEY HOT?!?!

Alician, seeing the two largest students of Beacon barreling towards her at insane speeds, causing her to scream in fear and run a few steps away: OH MY GOOOOD!!!

Alician, quickly turns back to the table and grabs hold of her plate, then runs off again: THEY'RE GONNA KILL MEEEE!!!!
