Alex just clenched his fists together and grunted, "I don't want to talk about my team. They're dead and that's all you need to know." He replied angrily before suddenly standing up and walking to the door, "I'm going for a walk." He said as he opened the door, walking through and closing it behind him.

"Iris, Rose, and Dalia, and together you are Team VIRD? That sounds like an interesting bunch." Pon says, and then she begins to tell her own team "Well my team is called PACS (Packs), consisting of me, Akatsuki, Colt, and Snowy. Out of the three, Snowy is the one that I am very close with. She is a nice girl, but the problem about her is that she cannot smile at anyway. Also, she is put on a straightjacket for some reason, probably because of her semblance or something like that. Colt is also a nice guy, though he tends to be shy. He has thus revolver weapon that can change into a sword, which by the way, can be sold ANYWHERE. HIs semblance is rather interesting. I think its called 'One-For-All', and I kinda forgot how that works. Last is Akatsuki, and you probably know who he is. Brash, rude, and most of the prideful, even so as to say that he is the 'Pride of Atlas'. At one time, I saw him THREATENING, not kidding, Ozpin to a fist fight after receiving detention for something bad he has done. He is also our powerhouse, having wearing this armor that enhances his physical capabilities and his semblance. That's all that there is to it about my team."

“Should worry more ‘bout yourself.”
A voice from behind Nilla said.
“This wouldn’t be the first time this happened to me...doubt it would be the last.”
Duke pulled up besides Nilla, his scroll in one hand his other hand in his pockets.
A few moments went by where Duke was clicking on his scroll, clearly agitated by it.
“Damn it...pick up”
He muttered to himself, before lowering his scroll a bit, staring off into space.
“Did any of them survive?”
Duke glanced over at Nilla.
The question came from no where, maybe it was a bad idea...but...after what he’s seen with Nilla, and considering she was alone, he couldn’t help but wonder about her team...were they truly all?...

Nilla turned her head to look at Duke as he spoke, while she was willing to admit that what he said wasn't wrong. She did need to worry about herself somewhat but if that's all she did then how would she get anything done? That would just leave her wallowing in her own selfishness and that couldn't fly if she wanted to make things work... but she could be a bit more self-centered, she deserved at least that much. Though when he was calling someone she kept her mouth shut as not to interrupt it, to no surprise the person didn't answer.. which meant maybe their scroll had been damaged or destroyed.

Her face turned towards him as he asked if any of them were alive, she had to assume that since he was talking aloud it meant it was to her. She shook her head, "No.. my team was entirely wiped out.. but we couldn't prevent it" She said solemnly and looked to the ground as she thought about what to sat, she supposed she should give some knowledge on the matter. "We were escaping from the grimm and.. the building caved in, that's what took out Carden and Nate" She said and closed her eyes for a moment, "Me and Melanie had gotten out but.. we were ambushed by the White Fang there... Nate was a Faunus and they assumed we had killed him, so they attacked us and.. Melanie was killed. I managed to fight my way through but- I was the only one"

"..."
Duke was silent for a few moments, slowly easing his glance off of Nilla.
"...I'm sorry...about your loss...but..."
Duke said softly, closing his scroll and placing it back into his vest pocket. Lifting his head, Duke looked up to see the hundreds of stars sparkling in the air. He couldn't suppress a smile, he'd only see stars when he was out in the countryside where his combat school. You'd seldomly see stars in the city, with all the bright lights and all.
"...your not alone no more..."
Duke said, as he placed his hand back into his trouser pocket.
"...least...I ain't gunna let that happen..."

Nilla nodded and lifted her gaze to the sky, "I'm never really alone.. they're still here" She said bringing a hand to her chest and holding it there gently. "Just not in a physical form" she finished that statement and gazed out into the stars. She was thoughtful more often than not but right now she seemed to be immersed in the stars as her eyes reflected their light back to them once more, but she turned away and towards Duke now.

"But than you.. it's helpful to know that I have a physical person I can rely on to help me out" She said with a small smile crossing her lips, a gentle one at that. Afterwards she turned back to the stars. "Maybe we can find more survivors.. they're probably in the same boat as us." she said and put her arms behind her head stretching her back a bit more which strained the clothing against her body slightly. "Do you think those three from before are safe?" She asked deciding to let her mind wander back to the others she'd seen.. none of them really knew her so she probably wouldn't be known as the girl who drove a pack of beowulf off. But just as a random bystander more than likely.. but regardless she still felt the need to ask them as to why they'd just left someone behind. It was irresponsible and honestly dumb of them.

"Yeah, don't mention it."
Duke said, keeping a grin on his face as he continued to gaze upon the stars.
"They'll defenitly be more out there...more of them shaken....just like us...he, who knows, maybe we can form a new team or somthing."
Upon mention of the group from early, Duke quietly snorted, but said outload.
"I think they'll be fine...no idea what the hell happened with them, but....think they oughta have gotten out fine."

Nilla gave a quick nod to the idea of finding new comrades which would give them more security than they had with the just the two of them for sure. After all the saying was two heads are better than one, but better than two is four. A slight smile came to her face at the thought of such, her memories of her past team also showed up but rather than the negative she could feel a positive one currently as the good memories radiated through her. "Well we cam make a good new group then.. since we need to make some sort of way to get all the hunters and huntresses together" She said and seemed to be a bit thoughtful on the idea.

"I think you're right about the others though. If they died when they left you behind then that makes them stupid.. but for some reason I doubt that anyone could be senseless enough to do that." She jested now poking at the idea of the others having a lack of intelligence though she knew that wouldn't be the case. "Joking aside though.. we need as many people to help as we can... maybe we should find some people and then try to set up a base?" She asked turning to Duke for his opinion.

Violet nodded at the other girls words. "they sound like good people." she looked in the direction Alex went off. "Alex!" she called down the hallway. "Come baaack!" she let out a 'hmppf' and looked at Pon's bird. "what's with the bird?"

"Listen, Siva, I know it's tough on them, but we need to get to safety..."
"So, just because we ain't huntsmen yet, you wanna sit this one out? Listen, we can do more here, I feel it. And if you ain't doing it with me..."
"Oh boy, here comes Siva and her goddamn 'gut' again."
"Then I'm doing it myself!"
And with, Siva left her team. She might have been stubborn, but god damn it, she was right this time! As if she'd leave some weak people at a Grimm's mercy while she had something to say about it. Packing just her swords Jason and Icharus and a few provisions, she began systematically searching for survivors in the vicinity.
After spending quite some time helping people out, Siva returned to a safe camp, only to find out that her team had left her and had already set for Mistral. She was mad, but more importantly, she was set in staying there now longer.
There was one problem, though. Siva didn't really want to talk to authorities right now, or she might risk being sent away with her team. Instead, she mustered some courage to approach a stylishly-dressed young blonde man and a pink-haired girl. She asked them:
"Hey, pretty couple over there! Do you know if there's anywhere to make myself useful in this mess?"

Pon sighs as Alex departs. When Violet asked about her pet bird, she says to her "Oh yeah, this is Godspeed. She came to me as a birthday gift when I was a kid, and we became inseparable since then. I usually fuse myself with her to gain a pair of wings for flight."

A placid sigh escaped the young man's lips as he slipped off the white apron and adjusted his tie. Although he had been pressed into service as one of the many cooks for the camp, he couldn't complain. Even if he was limited by whatever happened to be on hand, he could still provide some sort of respite for those who had managed to make their way to the camp. As he left the food preparation area he briefly recollected the events that had led him to Vale in the first. A chance encounter helping out a team who had somehow managed to get lost outside Vale ended up netting him tickets for the Vytal Fighting Festival. And yet, it just so happened to be the one where everything happened to go completely wrong. Suspiciously wrong given the timing of the White Fang and the appearance of a Grimm that should not have been. Fortune into misfortune. The scales are quick to change, aren't they?

Of course, hanging from his belt in an array of straps was that curious book of his. Its morbid appearance certainly did it no favors among the camp's occupants and definitely seemed to be in bad taste. Yet, it was the young man's good nature that allowed them to simply forget about its presence. He paused in his tracks and placed a hand on the cover of the Grimmoire.

"Quite the glutton, aren't you?" He spoke those words with a grimace to no one in particular as he shifted directions and began to walk as if he were following a map. Admittedly, he was skeptical about this turn of events. He ran a hand through his monochrome hair as he continued his stroll out towards the outskirts of the camp, half-expecting to find nothing. Instead, what he found at the end of that dreary rainbow was a sharply-dressed man and a familiar looking girl. Familiar in that he had been the one who handed her the rather lackluster sandwich prepared by another cook when they had rotated duties. She wasn't too hard to recognize with those horn-like protrusions from the hair accessory after all.

Perhaps he'd strike up a conversation with the-

BUMP.

He had collided with something solid, but his slow pace meant that it wasn't the sort that'd lead to him falling backwards on his ass. The young man was confused - he certainly hadn't seen anything in his path. It was only when he had looked down that he finally saw a rather short girl before him. A child who had wandered out perhaps? Whatever the case, his gaze flitted between the two and the small child in front of him. Perhaps whatever mood that had been going on was now shot and buried in an unmarked grave by his subsequent appearance.

Alex ignored Violet's calls but after her voice vanished he felt hurt. Hurt. He hated feeling hurt. All it did was remind him of her. His unrequited love and leader of team LARL(Like Laurel Green). Lilla Carmine. He stopped abruptly and sat down against the wall in the middle of the hallways as a few stray tears slid down his cheeks. He buried his face in his hands, "I tried Lilla...I really did..."

Pon couldn't even help herself but wanting to find Alex and know his problem. As an addition to her statement, she says to Violet "Let me go find him. You stay here and recover." She then leaves the room, and after some time in searching, she finds Alex weeping. She went up to him and ask "Hey, what's the matter?"

Alex shook his head, "Everything." He replied, quickly trying to wipe the tears away. At first, he was hesitant to tell Pon all of his problems but in the end, he decided to tell her everything that was bothering him. He looked up at her, "I have no family or friends, our school was overrun with Grimm, my team was killed right in front of me, and my completely oblivious crush shattered my heart on multiple occasions then died in my arms. Basically, Pon, everything fucking sucks."
Zamasu

 

[Zamasu]

"I...I'm so sorry." Pon says in a sad tone, she felt very pity over the experiences that Alex had to get through since the fall. However, an optimistic side of sparks up. Wiping away that sad face of hers, she smiles as she says "Well, you got me and Violet now, so that makes you not lonely. A teammate of mine once said that 'hunters never die', and so they're spirits can still live on. Say, how about I be your crush? Is that okay with you?" What an idiotic choice.

Duke of Doge Taco ​

 

[Taco]

Alex stifled a laugh, "You're a strange girl, Pon." He remarked before standing up and sighing, "And while your offer certainly is flattering, I don't know if I can just force myself to have a crush on you. That sort of thing comes naturally over time."
Zamasu

 

[Zamasu]

Upon seeing Alex laugh, Pon's smile brightens. "Now that's the spirit." She says, and when being told that having a crush on someone is natural, she says "Is that so? Huh, nobody told me about that. But anyways, once Violet recovers, we should leave immediately and find the others. I'm sure they might have left Beacon by now."

Duke turned his head to see what all that commotion was about, only to see a little girl standing there, looking at the two of them.
He was about to say somthing, but a man out of no where seemed to bump into her.
Duke just snorted to himself, watching what would unfold in front of them, but then he glancing at Nilla, a grin on his face.
"I can't say it's much but...guess it's a start." Duke said before looking back at the two. "There's going to be a lot of...disgruntled people around here, so finding recruits won't be hard, and I think the suits sitting on the council oughta have some jobs for... said disgruntled huntsmen."
Looking now directly at Nilla, a bigger grin was plastered on his face.
"I think we might just be able to make this work."

Krystal Redd
Krystal made her way to ledge of a hospital rooftop, where she decided to sit rest. One leg was dangling over the ledge while the other was propped up. She rested her head on her leg as she sobbed thinking about her recent decease teammates. Four years together, just to be broken up by Grim and the White Fang. Her bloody Keyblade rested on her back with the dust orbs hooked to her belt loop. Krystal was covered in dirt, dust, and few blood stains in her clothes. She came to the rooftop for a breather from countless fighting, and to seek out any stragglers. Before breaking down she saw signs of a camp nearby, and that’ll be her next destination once she’s done. However before she could fully rest and left her tears flow, she heard familiar growling from behind her. Instantly she knew that it was the sound of a beawulves. She sighed as she lefts her head and begins to stand up. Her eyes was filled with both rage and sorrow. She reached for her Keyblade as she stared down her opponents, three beawulves. Wanting to end it quick, she grabbed her yellow dust orb and inserted it in the Keyblade entering Fatal Mode. The keyblade flowed electric yellow and she began charging the cannon. As she charged her cannon, the Grimm in front of her growled and made their charge. Without hesitation she ran towards them as well, but right before she got too close she flipped over the middle wulf as it swung its claws. Krystal landing behind them and quickly turned around and released the electric cannon blast paralyzing the Grimm while also knocking them off the roof, allowing them to fall to the bottom. She sighed yet again returning her blade back to its standard mode. She looks off to the distance where the camp finally deciding to head over there. “Might as well head over there now, before more Grimm arrive, but I gotta make sure everyone in here is okay” She states before entering the hospital. She wondered the halls before she came across the security room where she noticed students in the hallway. She quickly made her way towards, heading to whatever floor they were all. The two in the hallway will hear footsteps quickly approaching down the hall as if someone’s running. Soon they’ll see it’s just another student, an upperclassmen. “Hey are you guys okay?” She asked with a concerned look. Zamasu Taco ​

 

[Zamasu]

Pon and Godspeed's ears would perk up upon hearing the footsteps. "Someone' coming..." She says, and before they know it, someone steps in. A girl that is a few years away from the two, a senior student. "Huh?" *Kweh?* Both Pon and Godspeed looked at the girl in confusion, and when they're asked if they're okay, Pon says "We're fine, but who are you?"

Her eyes seemed to hold a glow to them now that she'd seen potential coming around then and knew that it was probably good to at least ask around about people helping out and someone may answer their calls. "I think we can make it work as well" She spoke before hearing another voice near them, the other girls voice had some something of a couple. While she didn't know of an actual couple in the camp she assumed that the question had been directed towards her and the man beside her due to the nature of such an insinuation.

"Hey... actually I may know just the thing. We're actually looking for promising hunters and huntresses to try and make a new team.. since, we want to make sure what happened doesn't happen again" She said with a notion to the girl as she spoke to further convey her point. "Would you be interested in helping out? It could mean the difference between beacon's resurrection and more ruins." She said further advocating her point and speaking loud enough so the man in her peripheral vision could hear, whatever book he was toting around was.. interesting to say the least since she'd seen him twice, both times with it.

*Bump*
After being stumbled upon, Siva turned back to look for the source, already letting out an annoyed complaint:

"Excuse me...?"

She stopped immediately after, though, because the man puzzled her. Most of him seemed like the most harmless person in the camp, a scrawny and pale kid that couldn't possibly last a day out there on a mission. However, there was something there... Something she couldn't quite understand but raised all her internal red flags. Unable to process all those mixed signals, she simply added:

"Um... Hi."

After hearing whatever the young man had to say for her, she turned back to the two ahead of her. Usually, Siva chose an aggressive approach towards those she just met, almost taunting them, as a way to measure their resolve. A closer look revealed that wouldn't be necessary this time around.
While the man in the black vest certainly seemed like he'd been through a lot and gotten back even stronger from it, it was the girl with red eyes and demon-like horns headdress that really caught her attention. She spoke friendly to her about making a team and helping people, but Siva knew in herself those were the unwavering and decisive eyes of a tried and true Grimm slayer. Or, in other words, someone she knew she could trust.

"Would you be interested in helping out? It could mean the difference between beacon's resurrection and more ruins." Were her latest words.

"You bet!" Siva replied decisively. "My team was too scared to help, so I left them. Guess that means I'm with you now." After saying that, she took out her sword Jason and stuck it into the soft ground of the camp, adding to the two: "My name is Siva Marina, and my blades and fists are at your service."

Krystal Redd
Approaching the two younger teens she noticed one was female who had a pet bird and the other was a young male. Both seemed to be fine, but she still had to make sure. When she received her answer she let out a sigh of relief. “My name is Krystal Redd, a Beacon Academy senior. I was on my way towards a safe camp, but decided to the check the hospital first. Mainly because I may have attracted attention from the Grimm outside. If it’s just you two then we should probably get moving.” She said looking around. Krystal then realized she made a mistake. “Oh how rude of me, what are you guys’ names?” Zamasu Taco​
