Saints of the Sword (v1-7)

(I am going to very BLUNT with this statement, even though it seems like it... THIS IS NOT an everyone betrays Jaune fic. There is much more going on including Jaune's own low sense of self-worth.)

As soon as the door swung open Cardin was through it. Inside he found Jaune flailing about on his bed. His sheets discarded on the floor, and Jean trying her best to restrain him. Jaune didn't look it. Not have the bulk and mass of Cardin, Guy, or Etienne... but he was deceptively strong physically.

Cardin rushed over quickly followed by Guy and Etienne, while Jeane took control of the remainder of their company. Having them fan out and block the corridor off to prevent anyone from being nosey. Glynda moved and entered the room a few moments later, finding Jaune being held down by four of his companions. Yet still he thrashed and twisted.

"Jean what happened?" Cardin shouted while trying to prevent Jaune's left arm from lashing out at them.

"I don't know. Everything was quiet and then he just started to scream bloody murder!"

"It has to be another fucking vision!" Guy swore as he did his best to use his impressive bulk to keep Jaune's right leg from kicking about.

"You think?" Etienne snapped as she was doing the same with Jaune's left leg. "This is the worst I've ever seen him! We have to do something!"

"I'm open to ideas!"

"I have one... but we need another body..." Jean noticed Glynda Goodwitch's entrance. "YOU! Hold down this arm!"

"What?" Glynda responded.

"Hold down this arm! Hurry!"

Glynda moved and swapped places with Jean, who as soon as her hands were free, climbed onto the bed and sat on Jaune's heaving chest. She latched on to his trashing head, steadying it, before leaning down and pressing her forehead against his sweat drenched one.

"Jaune... Jaune..." Jean spoke her tone soft and full of concern. "Come back to me... Come back... it can't hurt you... come back."

"Teeth in the dark... flames of hate alight... it burns... it burns..."

"Jaune... it's okay. Your safe. Come back to use... come back to me..."

"It burns..."

"Jaune... that's it... it's all a dream..."

Jaune's terror filled eyes, dropped and slid closed. His thrashing growing weaker and weaker until it stopped completely. Glynda was hesitant to release her hold on her former student. BUt relented when the others do released their own grips upon him.

"What was that?" Glynda whispered, afraid to awaken the obviously troubled young man.

"That was a vision." Cardin replied, also in a whisper. "Jean?"

Jean said nothing, as she climbed off Jaune, and retrieved the discarded sheet. Draping it over his sleeping form, she looked at Cardin and the others, before lifting it and climbing into the bed next to Jaune. Gently she prodded him, causing him to shift and roll onto his side.

Glynda watched as the young, who was apparently only wearing a night shirt, wrapped her arms about Jaune, and hugged him close. She looked up with a questioning look at Cardin, and he just shook his head. An obvious sign not to ask about it.

Quietly they all left and soon Glynda found herself with the gathered entirety of the Saints of the Sword.

"So what's the plan, because that was the worst one I've seen and heard." Jeane asked in a hushed tone.

"Etienne? Guy? You okay to camp with Jaune and Jean tonight... just in case?"

The pair just nodded, and without any further words, entered the room, closing the door softly behind them.

"Does this happen often?" Glynda asked, still a little shocked at disturbing sight she had just witnessed.

"It's been getting worse the closer we've come to Beacon" Jeane replied. "We should leave. This is killing him."

"We can't. Jaune is dead set to be here, and he won't leave." Cardin responded. "As long as Jaune remains here..."

"We remain here." Jeane spoke up ending Cardin's sentence.

"Should I contact the infirmary? They may have something that could help him get some undisturbed rest." Glynda offered.

The group looked at one another, and one after another nodded.

"That would helpful." Cardin spoke up. "Thank you."

"I have to ask." Glynda spoke, "Are his... visions always so cryptic?"

"Sometimes." Cardin replied as the other sof the group disbursed to return to their own beds. "But if you add it to other visions he's had about Beacon..."

"He's seeing an attack on the Academy... this most recent one was a confirmation on it, wasn't it?"

"Yes, I believe so." Cardin replied, "Though the 'teeth in the dark' is rather confusing."

"You both need some rest." Glynda informed the pair of young adults. "I'll contact the infirmary, and arrange for someone to come and examine him, and I'll also inform Ozpin of this development and make sure he dosen't push a meeting until Jaune is properly rested."

Jeane and Cardin both nodded their unspoken thanks to the Professor, before both moved off to get some rest of their own. Before vanishing into one of the assigned dorms, Cardin reached out and returned the professor's scroll.

As Glynda moved away, she considered everything she just saw. The group has absolute faith in Jaune... taking his visions as truth of future events... understandable for a group that has been together for a fair amount of time. She however was troubled.

"Would anyone really attempt an attack on Beacon?" Glynda she spoke to herself as she made her way back to Ozpin's office to inform him personally of the incident.

Where Is Sandman - And Why Isn’t He Bringing Cloud Rest?

Background

Cloud Rimer describes herself as a “chronically sleepy guy” and someone who, “could fall asleep anywhere but her bed.” These issues started in early childhood and were never resolved. When she was in high school Rimer claims that she continuously got as little as four hours of sleep a night, but now that she is a Junior in college, she points out the ill effects. “I am having troubles going to classes, and when I do, I’m falling asleep in them. I sleep for a significant amount of the day but can’t fall asleep at night. It is a horrible cycle.” Once Rimer realized she could no longer maintain, she sought help to solve the issues. Rimer met with multiple medical professionals and got advice.

Keep reading below the line for more!

Feeling Rested Throughout the Day

When she was in therapy it was suggested Rimer work on her “sleep hygiene”. Cleveland Clinic defines sleep hygiene as, “healthy habits, behaviors, and environmental changes that you can take charge of to get a good night’s sleep.” For Rimer, the biggest issue was going to sleep and waking up at a good time. “I couldn’t fall asleep until 2 or 3am and then of course I didn’t want to wake up at 7am. Who does?” Rimer joked.

Cloud, however, realized that sleep was most important. “It’s not healthy what I’m doing.” Some habits Rimer adopted to feel rested are going to bed early, waking at the same time every day, avoiding sugar, staying warm, developing a sleep routine, putting her phone away, and clearing her mind of concerns at bedtime. If you’re struggling, try some of the sleeping tips from the advice column on page 3!

Finch - Self Care App

For the past 18 days I have logged into my Finch Self Care App and reported my feelings,

played with Rose, my Finch, sent “good vibes” to my friends, shopped for clothes and furniture (for my Finch), and completed my goals. 

This app has been instrumental in my productivity lately. I can write down all the tasks I want to do, and I get rewards for doing them. If there is ever a reason I don’t do a task, Finch allows me to reflect on it and either delete the task or snooze it until tomorrow. Seeing what I have left to do for the day and getting rewards for completing tasks has been amazing. 

Finch has also helped me express my feelings directly. It allows me to “send good vibes” from a category of my choosing. This helps me signal to my friends that I am thinking of them, and I can send them a virtual hug, gratitude, a reminder to stretch or drink water, or many more things I might want to share with them. This means that I don’t have to be pushed out of my comfort zone or risk being misunderstood, I just send sweet things to my friends. 

Overall, this app is a 10/10 and I totally recommend it. If you download it ask for my friend code!!

Rollerblading for Relaxion

Cloud Rimer has been seen by our team of Cloud-Watchers multiple times this week rollerblading. She seemed to be working on specific skills. When asked to comment, Rimer

explained, “My mood is much improved by exercise and being in the sun. Rollerblading helps me with both. I’ve loved rollerblading since I was little, so I work on skills to engage my brain while I workout and play in the sun.” Cloud reportedly has only fallen once this semester. We are not sure whether we believe this because of Rimer’s inclination towards being an especially clumsy individual. More soon.

Sleep Tips from an Insomniac

Advice from Cloud Rimer

Make a schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time everyday can be difficult when your schedule differs but is really worth it. It helps your brain settle down for bed and you won’t be so tired throughout the day because it’s not time to be tired yet!

Make a routine. Making a routine that you do before bed is a great way to signal to your brain that it is time to start winding down.

Put distractions away. As tempting as it is to scroll on TikTok or Instagram until you fall asleep, it is not good for you. So put away your phone, books, and (politely_ tell your roommate that you are ending the conversation and going to sleep.

Clear your mind. It can be difficult to try to sleep when you have a lot of thoughts and issues running through your mind looking for solutions. Remember that you can deal with all of that in the morning, but only if you get sleep now. Try to remind yourself that it is time to be sleeping and relaxing, not problem solving.

Get into bed. As tempting as it might be to wait get into bed until you get tired, getting into bed is another signal to your brain that it is time for bed. For the same reason, make sure to stay out of your bed during the daytime so that way your strongest association with your bed is going to sleep.
