Ignite the Darkened Skies (Open)

The crisp clean air, rushing through the night time sky, people clamoring to return inside, into the musky and rather cramp environment, only a subtle "Tch" was heard through the large group of aspiring students and people. A briefcase like baggage strapped around a lone figures back, a set of boot like greaves clomping on the oak wood flooring. While pushing people aside, it wasn't taking much for the single figure was making people move out of his way, for his bright yellow attire made him stand out. But also frightened a few people, seeing how the yellow hood was slightly covering a rather exotic looking metal hood with a single cream bone like horn protruding from the forehead. The chest plate holding the same colour as the helmet, but along with the yellow hood, was a cloak that seemed to be attached and comprised of the same material as the hood, as this cloak seemed to extend over his left arm. Among the chest plate was yellow and lightly tanned straps that seemed to serve as a fixed piece to hold all the parts on this armor together, for upon the right shoulder was a large yellow shoulder plate, which seemed to compliment the azure blue shirt and trousers that the lone being was sporting. Upon these trousers was more yellow straps, and a belt that seemed to hold ammunition packs and various other survival gear. While his hands had the same hue as the chest plate and helmet, not only that but a pair of boots upon his feet, holding a metal like plate on the shins, and up to the knees, all coloured the same as the helmet.

The aura this being was giving off held no form of hostility, nor did it seem to be friendly at all either, but was could be picked up was a tortures soul, distant and cold. Upon reaching the door and pulling it open to go upon to the balcony, two more people seemed to be occupying it, which was not a big problem for him. He just simply walked past the two figures, the fully armored being walking to the second level of the balcony and setting the briefcase case down, for when he did a loud thud could be heard. And then the sound of moving fabric for the being was leaning over the railing, looking at the incoming clouds, the sound of his breathing could be heard. For his respirator in his helmet was the single sound other than the wind and his cloak snapping from the gentle and tender hands of the breeze before them. For under his helmet a set of Amber orange like orbs glistened through the slits that held his advance targeting system, the system scanning the area around him. Showing the two people below him and the various others in the room behind him, and the sound of his telecommunication device kicking in, he activated his sound proof vocal plating, preventing other's from hearing him. "Yes, this is Ravana, yes sir, I've successfully made it aboard the Air Ship, and am currently making my way to the destination point." "Syne Academy should not take more than a few hours to get there, seems as though nothing out of the ordinary is aboard this vessel either." "Yes sir, I understand, I won't let you down, Ravana out." And like that, he turned his communicator off, and his sound plate as well, and returned to viewing the sky ahead, as his respirator kicked back in.

With the words below him, and the sound of the wind whistling through the air, while the Airship began to ascend once more, seeing how the trip was going to taking abit longer than expected, a simple tone came from his throat. "Hmm... perhaps I should go change, I highly doubt anything is going to occur while I'm aboard." With his words filling the air around the figure clad in yellow, blue and tan plates of metal, with him picking up the briefcase like luggage, he made his way back down the stair to the first level. Seeing the two students from before talking, and his gaze coming upon the female student, whom held the same or close to the same colour of his hair, once he was done examining her for the brief time he had. He strolled back into the cart and moving past all the other students, stepping into the changing rooms they had in the very back, and when he came out, he had removed his armor, only having regular clothing on which seemed to fit him quite well. A denim sleeveless jacket with a black tank-top on, both with where reaching slightly above his waist, exposing his lower torso slightly, which some of his pack was appearing, whether it was a six or eight pack was not known to others. His blue ripped denim jeans sported by his black combat boots pulled over his jeans was what was wearing as basic clothing, with a pair of necklaces around his neck, one having a single tooth and the other having three teeth surrounded by many beads.

His clothing wasn't what caught peoples attention, it was his hair and facial features, golden locks held back in a large ponytail, wild, curly and wavy hair his ponytail held, while his sideburns where slightly long and his neck line held some longer strands as well. His olive tan skin only complimented by his goatee and golden hair, along with the freckles along his nose and cheeks, covering a large scar starting from his upper eyebrow, and slanting down at a forty five degree angle to below his left cheek below his left eye. Which where a topaz like range colour, Amber almost in a hue, and in his lips was a toothpick, walking back out to the outterdeck where he took his call, still seeing the two students, his masculinity in his body was visible as his arms up to his shoulders where exposed. Once outside once more, he took a seat across from the female student. his eyes not looking at her, but ahead, seeing the tree's in the distance slowly creeping behind them. His leg crossed over his other leg, and his arms crossed over as well, his long wild looking blonde tail of his head fluttered and snapped in the wind that was brushing over. as his fingers ran up the side of his head, he rubbed his human like ears, messing with the set of two ear rings each ear held, one on hie lobe and the other placed in the upper part of his ear in the cartilage. A calm aura was peeking off him, and clouded around him, for he pulled out a GPS mapping system from his briefcase like luggage and opened it up, looking to see how far this ship was from the campus grounds.

Pearl spoke to the student a bit longer before he got up exclaiming that there was more to the ship, she send him off with a smile as she fixed her hair a bit. She took a shower right before she got on the airship so her hair was wet and a very straight. Pearl fastened her ebony collar a bit more with her armored gloves gauntlet with a bit of a contented sigh. Her fangs barred as she growled lightly while pulling knots out of her hair. Once the lioness was done she shook her head lightly rolling her neck along the collar of her armor that could only barely be seen as it peaked very slightly above her olive cloak. 

She looked toward the night sky for a moment as the skyship continued it's ascent and cruised along the sky. Her hair brisked in the wind. Her wild mane blowing behind her as she brushed a couple of strands from her face, revealing her silver orbs, before she went back to her book. Occasionally glancing at the man taking a bit of a double take with a low purr. She hadn't seen another Lion Faunus before. A Lion and Lioness, there was instant sparks, but lucky for her, her blushing was kept under her luscious locks. She immediately rested her eyes back along her book, only taking convenient glances at the boy, if she met eyes with him, she'd smile and wave before returning her orbs to her war book. 

With the map showing that the ship was about a good thirty to forty minute flight until they reached the campus, closing the device and turning it off, he let out a small sigh, as he did a rather low growl could be heard, almost the beginning of a roar. But shortly died off, and feeling eyes upon him he looked to see the female before him reading her book, but the subtle sound of purring caught his attention, either it was him, this woman, or his stomach, or perhaps hers as well. But either way, he kept his gaze focused on her, his rather sinister Topaz Amber Orange gems with feline like slits focused on her intently as he was certain this woman was not human, just by the way the sound he heard emitted from her direction. But to keep it from getting creepy he adverted his gaze from her every so often and flipped the tooth pick he had and spat it out, but not before pulling out a knife from thin air, using his Semblance to manifest his combat knife. And cut the piece of thin wood down the center, and once the toothpick hit the ground his knife turned to sand and the particles fluttered into the wind.

With his eyes lurking away from the gaze of this female in front of him, which she seemed to pat the seat before he turned his gaze away and look at the forest before him, but when he turned his gaze back to her, he could still see her locked onto him. Observing the female more, the sand blonde locks she had seemed almost like his own, but from what he could see the strands where damp, covered in water, and the pendant between the pages of the book this woman was reading. With a sigh he leaned over and grabbed his bag and tossed it across to the next seat, sliding it along the wooden flooring, standing up and cracking his neck, shoulders and arms before taking two steps, twirling on his heel and sitting down. Not turning his head, but instead leaning it back and resting it on the cool wall behind him, and then speaking to the female next to him. "So... it's been itching my brain for the past few minutes." "It seems as though you and I share similar traits, hair colour, skin tone and I get this feeling in my gut you're like me." "So spill it, you're Lion Faunus aren't you?" He asked, tilting his cranium over to his right and looking at the woman who was kind enough to invite him over, his Topaz like Amber eyes gleamed with a curious mind, but yet still seemed to be rather distant like in the aura he was giving off.

He seemed bothered or rather uninterested from his sighs and reluctance with his body language but she could expect that. A majority of Faunus were loners, especially those who happen to have noticeable features. Whether that be the case or not, she embraced her Faunus traits and was jealous of those who had more noticeable ones than her. She licked her fangs lightly as he asked such a direct question. 

He didn't even look at her which made her chuckle slightly before closing her eyes, maintaining her upright back and posture enjoying the weather as well with a contented sigh. "I am indeed love. Nice to meet you, my name is Pearl." she stated gently before offering a handshake before letting out a small but playful chuckle. "If I wasn't a Lion Faunus love, would you have not come talk to me?" she teased a bit, just in an attempt to get him to even crack a slight smile. It was clear to her from his armor and demeanor he was reserved and probably a bit on the anti-social side. Doesn't mean he didn't want friends though.

Hearing this woman speak, "I am indeed love." "Nice to meet you, my name is Pearl." He could tell this person was indeed a Faunus like himself, but it wasn't concluded that she was a Lion Faunus, until he heard her speak again, which he listened to. "If I wasn't a Lion Faunus love, would you have not come talk to me?" *Lion Faunus... guess she will be a good ally for now.* *Mother always told me, befriend others of the Pride, and anymore like myself should be considered apart of the Pride.* He thought to himself, before he tilted his head back up and looked at he female again once his mind was clear to speak, seeing her trying to give him a handshake, he just looked at her. "First off, I don't do handshakes, not my style, and secondly, the names Ravana, you can call me that for now." He said in a more distant tone, which then he spoke once more, his rough like voice echoing around him, "And secondly no I wouldn't have, unless you gave me a reason to, then no I would have just sat here." "I don't judge people at first, unless I am given a reason to, tell me Pearl, what's your reason for attending Syne Academy?" "Family wanted you to go to a nice school other than Atlas or Beacon?"He asked her, trying to pry some information from this girls lips, and understand her more, if he was to consider her a member of his Pride, or even consider her worthy of it.

She brought her hand to rest back on her lap. Still keeping a smile on her face as she let out a breathy chuckle, still keeping her silvery eyes locked on his. "Alright then Ravana, nice to meet you." she said keeping her warm tone of voice. Despite his gruff exterior and even the harshness of his voice, she wasn't phased, not even slightly. If anything he had her curiosity, now he had her attention. A Lion Faunus who acts more akin to a lone wolf, clearly he was raised much different than most, even if he is a faunus. 

Then he asked quite the peculiar question, she perked up a bit before brushing her blonde strands out of her face revealing her pierced ears and black collar. She chuckled nervously after his second inquiry, this was quite the interrogation, but she was alright. Clearly he needed to control the conversation in order to feel confident, she was alright with that. With tilting her head at him keeping her smile, "Usually people who ask that are looking for their own reasons..." she let silence go by for a few seconds before letting her warm honeyed tone replace her curiosity. "No, no. I have no family to speak of, just my mentor."

"Usually people who ask that are looking for their own reasons..." He just gave a chuckle when Pearl said this, and nodded in response, but his chuckle quickly faded when he heard the next response. "No, no. I have no family to speak of, just my mentor." This was interesting, no family, perhaps they perished in some accident, either way it was something he shouldn't bring up, even he was smart enough to avoid something like making her cry. As he was about to speak, he could hear the announcements over the intercoms of the Airship echo through the entire contraption. "Attention passengers, we are arriving at our destination shorty, please gather all belongings and report to your designated seating." "I repeat, we are arriving to our destination, please gather your belongings and report to your designated seating." "Thank you for your corporation." With hearing that Ravana knew that he should return inside to the ship and go to his seat, which was on his ticket, looking over at Pearl he cleared his throat. "Well it seems we are arriving to the campus, we should head inside now, if I see you around campus I'll make sure to hit you up with another chat Pearl." "Auf Wiedersehen." He said to her, before standing up, grabbing his suitcase and saying a strange set of words to her at the end of his statement before walking back into the ship and taking a seat near the very back of the ship, for his seat was towards the cockpit.

Pearl looked down with her last answer regarding her family, her microexpression of sadness could barely be seen as she reached up to her collar. She heard rain echoing in her mind, but none around her. She quickly sighed contently and regained her composure to look up at the man. She was quite happy to even make him chuckle slightly, even if she made it vanish within the next second. Her smile turned to her sucking her fangs a bit as the intercom came up. "Aww, just as it was getting interesting." she sighed with a faint growl coming from the base of her throat. She sighed before beginning to stand as well, folding her book back within her belongings.

He was close to her so he could see the intricacy of her armor. It was clearly custom made, fitting all of her curves quite thoroughly. Especially her thick rump and muscle able-bodied legs that revealed themselves underneath her cloak as she finished up prepping. "Hopefully you do see me around love~" she said with a bit of a tease as she walked past the man down to the lobby keeping a smirk. As she went down the stairs she rose a peace sign in the air behind her before uttering the words, "Au Revoir~" in her honeyed tone.

(OOC: Exit Pearl)

Before leaving Pearl to do her own tasks, Ravana could hear words being emitted from her lips, echoing from her throat, the words clinging to his ears and ringing in them. "Aww, just as it was getting interesting." He couldn't deny this, for a strange reason he enjoyed her company, even if it was for a brief moment in time, seeing how Pearl made him more relax and calmer, seeing how she also made him chuckle slightly before. "Au Revoir~" Those were the final words Pearl said to him before he strolled off, before she left he caught a good glimpse of her frame, curvaceous hips, and well developed legs and thighs, a shiver went down his spine after seeing her rather attractive form. But he quickly shook his head to the sides and suppressed the thought, knowing he had to focus on his new academic studies, but he knew he needed to fire off Reason & Doubt soon, finding the shooting range was his best option. And as the Air ship landed at the school grounds, he quickly grabbed his things and trekked away, noticing Pearl in the distance and going her own way, as so did he, making Syne Academy his new play thing for now.
