Warning; Hazardous Zone (Open)

Once again Richard found himself bored, wandering the school. The short man usually prided himself on being well informed; but alas over the past while he'd slept through many of the school's major events. First came a large grimm attack on the school, such a thing hardly phased him; but sleeping through a lecture hall's utter destruction? Even he would admit, that was rather strange.

He had decided to investigate the damaged area, waiting until the workers had cleared off for the day. He arrived to find the place utterly devastated, the floor was covered in debris and holes plagued the walls. The roof was riddled with holes, the area resembled a war zone. It was clear to him that this wasn't a mere grimm's work, especially when he found traces of a compound on the floor.

Dust, explosive dust to be precise. It was rather plain to see. He was rather amazed that the very dust he had on his person right now could cause such devastation. His mind racing with ideas he sat atop a large broken off slab of concrete; pulling back out the notepad in which he had taken some measurements; he began to sketch out his new creature's design. Faunus ears were a definite.

With a sigh and a grumble he couldn't help but stop himself, would this really work? A golem made from explosives? The idea perplexed him. Even if it did work would he be able to surpass his own fear and use it? The simplest explosions to cause most always resulted in fire; the very thing he couldn’t stand.

The short boy grumbled upon hearing at least one set of footsteps echoing down the hallway. It would seem he wasn't the only one whose interests had been piqued. With a grumble he raised the book to eye level, attempting to ignore any newcomers, returning to his thoughts. While he wasn't looking for a fight he wouldn't mind a conversation... depending who he would be talking to. Best to ignore them unless they tried to speak to him... perhaps even then.

The footsteps that Richard had heard approaching was not someone new. Not to him anyways. No, it was someone that he had already spend a reasonable amount of time with, considering how much he dislikes social interaction with most people. Yes, walking down the hallway was one of Syne Academy's newest enrollees, Willow Novack. She walked rather casually, glancing around at the condition of the hallway and, really, the entire building as she spoke aloud to herself, "Huh, this place really did get recked. Good thing that nobody was really hurt." she mused to herself as she wandered rather aimlessly through the burnt debris, trying to avoid anything that may be bothersome such as a weak part of the floor or collapsing ceiling.

It wasn't long until Willow came across a familiar face. Or, to be more specific, a familiar height. She passed the boy at first, almost not noticing him, but paused, followed by taking a few steps back to get a better look at him, "... Rich?" she asked, not really sure who else would look like a middle schooler yet have their face in a book that would make her head spin, "Strange seeing you here. You visiting this as a one-time thing or is it more of a hobby?" she asked, turning on the balls of her feet to face the young man.

Misandra continued on her rounds, working the night patrol along with her partner for the evening. Though dusk had yet to end, they were already on the job, among many others securing different areas of the academy. Though it was still Summer and many of Syne's students were out visiting family, Security was still tight. Really it made sense that Missy had, as Captain of the Academy Defense Force, been asked to distribute more of her men to cover the area more securely, what with all of the attacks that had been happening as of late. She had even been given a new shipment if defense androids that she had to learn the inner workings to. Given te situation, It was a wonder why the school was even still running. Evedently the Kingdom of Bellmuse was really that desperate for some hunters. Luckily, This fact kept Missy with a job.

While on patrol, the captain stopped suddenly, causing her partner to almost crash behind her. Misandra signaled for him to stay silent, but alert. In their silence they heard voices nearby, in the direction of the construction zone that was the Lecture Hall. Missy took a moment to think. She was somwhat confused. Nobody should have been there at that time, be it Workers, Students, Teachers, or otherwise. The two guards slowly followed the sound for a very short time until they saw a couple of students IN the blown up lecture hall. Misandra relaxed herself but remained alert, shaking her head. She turned to her officer, speaking in a low whisper. "Go ahead and continue rounds. I'll deal with these two." She watched him follow orders before walking toward the students and raising her voice. "Hey! I'm not sure what you two find romantic about a bomb site, but you are going to have to move on now. It's still dangerous here." Looking around, one could just SEE the danger. It was ugly, such destruction, and Missy wished that the man who did this did not have to come to such an extreme decision.

Richard yawned, quickly remembering Willow's voice. He didn't bother to lower his book, had it been that stupid girl from the day before he'd perhaps in order to avoid oncoming scrolls; but he doubted this one would lob hers at him.

"Oi oi, Wallow; not so much a hobby. More that I've gotten so bored I felt like taking a look at this place. Don't know what I expected really, looks like a bombsite cause-

Suddenly Richard was cut off by a woman he'd never heard before, he still didn't bother to lower his book. Slightly annoyed by a woman's condescending tone he felt a glare form on his face. With a sigh he replied to the newcomer;

"You do realise we're hunters in training? Does it not make sense to go to a dangerous location, particularly one with medical staff on hand alike this one, and take in the atmosphere? Get used to how it feels to be in such a location? Really; a hunter with no practical experience of any kind is quite the useless thing."

He yawned,  finally pulling his book down to get a look at the newcomer; a blue haired woman. A blue haired woman who seemed to think herself above them.

With a slight glare he continued; "Besides, the courtyard is frequently attacked by grimm yet students are allowed to wander there. What's more dangerous, an Ursa or a couple holes in the floor? Maybe the odd rock falling from the ceiling, though I positioned myself beneath a hole so as to prevent such a thing hitting me. Really there's no reason for me not to be here and if there was shouldn't someone  have at least fenced off the area?...Not that doing that would really stop me."

Sammey was walking by the Lecture Hall to go pick something up form her dorm room. She wanted to read a new book she got and she had some tea in her dorm. She always loved to read a new book with some tea. She looked at the what she calls it war zone. As she was walking by she herded some one talking in the war zone she looked around to see if anyone was coming. There was one around so she slipped in and seen three people her one boy and two girls. Sammey was hiding behind the wall the little boy sounded upset about something maybe he was yelling at the older woman maybe she was the boy mom or older sister or something.

Sammey wasn't too sure if she should leave of not fighting herself to leave or stay. Than a piece of the wall fall off hitting Sammey on the head. She covered her mouth so no one would here her cry out in pain.

Opening her mouth to begin to speak, Willow immediately close it when she realized that getting herself involved in this discussion might not end well for the tomboy. So instead of speaking out, she happily allowed the much more willing to argue Richard do it instead. She wasn't told or even aware that she wasn't allowed in this part of the building, but perhaps that should have gone without saying? Either way, it wasn't explicitly stated, so therefore there was no legit possible way of knowing. And because of that, she couldn't really get in trouble for doing something that she wasn't aware was against the rules. And even then, Richard was certainly bringing up good points about the constant danger in the lives of a hunter. If they couldn't handle a bit of falling ceiling, how could they handle a grimm?

Willow was just about to agree with Richard on his rant when she was cut off by something down the hallway stealing her attention. It sounded like a piece of the ceiling falling down and landing on something rather hard. Perhaps this mean lady had a point and they shouldn't be here? Either way, Willow decided that standing here was not the place she wanted to be and began the task of slowly slipping away from the conversation. Trying not to draw attention to herself, she made her way towards the sound of the falling debris because if she were to be called out on sneaking away, she had a fairly believable excuse if she said she heard something and wanted to make sure everything was alright.

When she got far enough away, assuming Willow managed that, she would let out a sigh of relief. Shaking her head, she would somewhat regret leaving Richard alone, but he was a capable second year, and he could absolutely handle himself. Until then, she would look around curiously, eventually letting her eyes fall on a young girl with white hair, "... Erm..." is all that she said as she quirked a curious brow.

In all honesty, Misandra was not expecting such a defensive reaction to her orders. Some resistance, sure, but the faunus boy uust went off. Her left eyebrow rose and her arms crossed as she waited for his futile rant to come to an end. The guys was incredibly dumb. He thought hanging out here with his girlfriend as night fell would give him experience as a hunter? Such logic. If he wanted experience he could run around in the forest for a while, Perhaps running into a wild Ursa with a particular taste for sloth. Maybe then he would have his life changing experience.

Waving the thought from her mind, She unlatched her Captain's badge from her belt and made it perfectly visible to the couple, as if it were hidden to begin with. "Look kid, It isnt my job to explain my orders, It's your job to follow them. MY job is to protect you from needless harm. If you understand that, you will--" A thud and a crash as debris nearby fell to the ground. Missy would have to check that out later. However, the woman that had been accompanying the rude Faunus kid snuck off (almost successfully) to follow the noise herself, giving Missy very little choice but to pursue. The guard began to hastily follow, shouting as she moved. "Hey! where do you think--" She stopped and turned toward the male student. "Go to your dorm." She ordered. She then turned back around and ran after the Human girl. "Stop!" As they got closer to the source of the crashing sound, yet another student could be seen learning the meaning of 'dangerous'. Misandra rushed to her side, checking for injuries. Facing the red head, she gave yet another order. "Leave and go to your dorm. It isnt safe here." She turned to the new woman. "Are you alright? What were you doing here?"

Richard seethed as the woman stormed off, following the sound of falling debris. "You should question everything; don't get the required information and you're sure to fail. It not being your job doesn't matter at all to me, brat."

He sighed, realizing she was almost certainly too far away to hear him. The short boy looked back to his book; continuing to sketch for a bit before sighing and giving up. He was far too ticked off for creative thinking, yet another reason not to like nor listen to this blue haired woman. With an annoyed grumble the short man jumped off his concrete block; skirting passed the holes on his way to the door. On his way he picked up a piece of wood, seemingly broken off a floorboard, just in case the ceiling did cave in. That way he could use his semblance to make a quick escape.

With an incoherent grumble he looked out into the hallway, pacing over toward the source. Looking through the gap between the two women he was certain he recognized the girl, he pondered for a moment whether she had been at the tavern with those brats Bin and Chimera before deciding that yes. She had been. Her name however...

"Oi oi Salami. Bit stupid of you to get hit like that." The short boy grumbled.


He then turned back to the blue haired woman with a yawn; "You see? Better to get used to hazardous areas here where there's people around to help than in a forest full of Grimm."

Sammey than hold her head and tryed to get up but fail back to the floor. The hit to the head must of been harder than what was. She wasn't able to really stand so well and the hit to the hand missed with a few other things. Than there was a hand on her and a voice fallowing than made Sammey jump back away for who ever it was. She was able to jump back but failed back and onces again she hit the back of her head as well as her back. This just wasn't her day was it getting hit on the head two times now and something or someone was here as well.

Sammey than sat up "Ow!" she was seeing three of everything she wasn't to sure but Sammey thinks that was the women that the little boy was yelling at and another one. The redhead maybe and a little boy but she wasn't too sure about that.

Willow gave a slight flinch as she watched Sammey hit her head once again, "Ouch... that can't be comfortable..." she commented, mostly to herself. She couldn't do much in this situation as the woman seemed to have things handled when it came to the condition of the poor injured girl. Which luckily meant that she wasn't currently being yelled at for something that she thought was completely fine. But arguing about something so pointless seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth. Afterall, the tomboy only came to the destroyed section to check it out a bit; now that she had seen its condition, she was pretty much done being here anyways. So being forced to leave didn't bother her, despite wanting to see the rest as well, just because of a passing interest.

Moving her attention towards the injured Sammey, she gave a slight sigh of relief at seeing that she was well enough to sit up at the very least, "I can bring her to the infirmary," Willow offered, "Make sure she doesn't have a concussion or something that would make her pas out if she tried to walk to her dorm on her own. It wouldn't be any trouble, really." she said, rubbing the back of her head. Perhaps the woman wanted to make sure she was taken care of herself, but Willow figured that she might as well offer. Afterall, the woman was probably busy with something somewhere, even if she was spending her time yelling at them for simply being around. Although allowing her to roam around for more students to chastise might be enough of something for her to do.

The nerve of this guy, really. He would never be able to make it in the real world with that kind of attitude. He would be caught by the kingdom's army real fast, acting like that. In a state of emergency, no less! Sensitivity and timing were clearly nonexistent to this guy. "Look Funsized, if you want your experience in hazardous areas while people are around to help, come back during the day, maybe help out with construction even. My officers and I are not here to babysit you while you go into a dangerous, restricted area, and now look what's happened." Missy gestured toward the injured girl with the long hair. The other student who had been with the annoying Faunus kid then spoke up for once, offering to take the patient to the infirmary. She was reluctant about it for sure, not really trusting these guys to handle it on their own, but the guard did not have the time for this. She had patrols to do and now some paperwork as well. Also, whatever would help them all leave this place was welcome. Misandra sighed. "Sure, thank you." She stood up straight. "I'm going to have to report all of this now, I will send an officer over to help out, and let the infirmary know ahead of time." She looked each student in the eye, especially Short Stuff. "If you guys don't make it there, I will know. And this isn't the end of this, Sloth." She turned and walked off, heading to the defense HQ and grabbing her radio as she moved in order to both warn whatever nurse was on duty, and to call another officer over to help the students out.

-exit-

Richard glowered after the woman, "...Funsized? Funsized?! You...You... useless blue haired fool! Can't even finish the job you try to stick to oh so well, just walk away at the first sign of difficulty. Coward, leaving it to some underpaid lackey and a bunch of students."


The short faunus fumed, claws extending as Misandra walked away. He let out a small growl as he retracted them, turning back to Sammey and Willow; a large and clear frown on his face. He was "this" close to just venting all his anger, either shouting or straight up fighting the two girls but alas he realized; best to contain it and save it for the woman. Perhaps in a strongly worded letter.

"Alright, you two. I want you to remember every word she said, particularly the words "fun sized" and sloth, got it? Good. Now, Salami, can you move or are you in too much pain to do so? You might be concussed or something."

Sammey looked at the when she said she would tack her to the infirmary. She had a funny feeling the nurse wasn't going to be too happy to see Sammey back so soon, or it was the hits she took to the head. Than the blue haired lady called someone as she stated to walk away. Sammey looked up to see someone else there next to her and jumped a little it was the other girl form before. She used her to try and get up it was still a little hard to but she was about to stand mostly.

Than the kid told them to rememberer what happened that was going to be no good. She wasn't able to remember what all had happened and know what was happening. *S-salami who is.......Salami?* Sammey  was looked at the other girl thinking was that her name.

Willow did what she could to assist Sammey up, be it offering a hand to pull her to a standing position or just being a stand that she uses to rise from the ground. Either way, while she did that, the tomboy would look her over, ensuring that there was nothing obviously wrong with the girl. Granted, she wasn't a medic and had no idea about most things when it came to issues, but she figured she knew enough about what blood and wounds looked like to confirm that she was safe to walk without her needing to carry Sammey. Once she determined that her worrying was mostly unnecessary, she let out a sigh of relief.

But that didn't stop Willow from moving about to scoop Sammey into her arms, carrying her in the princess-position so that she didn't agitate anything, just in case. She motioned her head to signal Richard to follow her as she proceeded to walk out of the damaged area. Meanwhile, she answered Sammey's question, "Salami? That's not me; my name's Willow. So it's... a pleasure to meet you?" she said, "Well, it is, but I would have preferred it under better circumstances. One where.. I'm not bringing you to the infirmary, but, hey, this'll be a funny story to tell people when we're married." she said as a joke, but there was probably better times for such a thing, "So while we're walking, what's your name? That is, if you can remember."

"She's Salami...that's her name. Methinks she has amnesia." Richard commented, examining the wooden board in his hand.

Just as he was about to walk with the pair, taking Sammey to the nurse's office, a man ran over. Richard assumed he was that blue haired woman's workmate, almost immediately he looked over to him.

"Looks like she'll be fine, just a bump on the head. Seems to have forgotten her name but it is late out, for all we know she might have been drinking. Regardless who was that blue haired woman? The one who ordered you to come over here. She never told us who she was, or even what her job was... went on about it though."

"Oh, Misandra? Have you never heard of her? She's one of the bigwigs around here. Important in the Syne defense force." The man informed him.

Richard paused, "...Syne has a defense force... then how do these grimm keep getting on campus?"

"W-what you see is but a fraction of the Grimm that attack us," He replied.

"I get that but... a lot do get on you realize... well, whatever. I'm too tired to care right now, Willow you got your bride? Let's get to the nurse's then." The faunus boy commanded, marching out ahead of the small group and expecting them to follow; still carrying the board with him just in case. Misandra's worker followed.

Sammey was then picked and being held like a newly married couple would do when the man picks up the woman and carry’s her off somewhere. Sammey looked up at the girl as she told her what her name was and keep going saying this'll be a funny story to tell people when we're married. She looked at the girl now named Willow her face red “W-wh-what!?!?” She didn’t know what to do and or say to that. Than Willow asked Sammey for her name as she was about to say something. "She's Salami...that's her name. Methinks she has amnesia."

She than looked over at the guy with the look of a lost puppy as she was about to say something once again something had happened to stop her form saying anything. A man came running over to them and the shorter guy started talking to the man and maybe even giving him a hard time as well. As the two were done talking he asked Willow of she had her bride and to go to the nurse’s office. Than the short guys name came to her she remembered form some time ago his name “R-Richard……..m-my name i-is S-sa-samm-sammey.”

Willow looked down towards the girl in her arms as she continued her way out of the destroyed wing and towards wherever they could get actual medical help. She gave a nod, "Sammey, huh?" she asked with a slightly tilted head, "Well, aren't you a cute one. And a bit shy, it seems. It's fine, I love both of those qualities. Possibly because cute people blush when I call them that, and because shy people are always too timid to tell me to shut up when I start talking." she joked, trying to make the girl feel a it comfortable at the moment. Or, at the very least, see her blush more which she quite enjoyed, "But yeah, Sam, it's great to meet you, but let's focus on making sure you're alright."

But there was a new problem in the group's way that Willow suddenly realized. Considering the fact that she's never really explored this area, "... Hey, Rich? Erm... where do we go to get to the infirmary?" she asked, quirking a brow to the shorter man. She then immediately looked back down towards the girl in her arms and gave her the warmest, comforting smile that she could possibly give, "Don't worry. Even if we get a bit lost, you'll be just fine."

Richard yawned, having not heard Sammey; "Eh, don't worry. I've not been there often, never having been beat to the point of medical attention, but I've wandered there out of boredom before. It's not too far off, they keep it close to the lecture hall in case something goes wrong."


Richard shuddered a little, remembering the day when a lecture hall went up in flames. He couldn't help but ponder what had happened afterwords, that ridiculously big woman with her fireballs... regardless he paced on ahead; continuing to assume they would follow. The short boy spun the wooden board in his hand as he payed close attention to their surroundings, it would appear they were outside the hazard zone.


The short boy let out another yawn, "Good grief, such a tedious time that woman left me with... what was her name again?... Miss Handra? Mislandra? Miss Hydra maybe? I don't care, regardless the nurse's office is just a little further."


The short man could see it from here, just up this corridor was a small building with a large green plus sign on it's door. The lights were on and he could see the old nurse staring out at him, a cup of coffee in hand. It would seem everything was drawing to a close.

Hunter was watching the news when the leacture hall was brought up. hearing about the fire attack on it, and the images of what remained. This made him want to help repair the burnt down Lecture hall. He leaves the dorm room at a sprint. halfway there he sees Sammey. he walks up to her. "Hello sammey. are you ok?" she looked like she was hit by something. after she admits she ok or not he would nod. "Im on my way to help out with the lecture hall."

(EDITED: Reason Inaccurate)

As they keepped walking Willow was talking to her "Well, aren't you a cute one. And a bit shy, it seems. It's fine, I love both of those qualities. Possibly because cute people blush when I call them that, and because shy people are always too timid to tell me to shut up when I start talking." Sammey's face started to turn more and more red as Willow keep talking about how she like cute and shy people. Sammey than started to cover her face to hide it form Willow she was suing her scarf to hide. Than her head started to feel like it was being hit over and over with more rocks and she started to nod off and waking back up the hits she took was started to kick in.

Willow was telling Sammey she'd be ok Even if they get lost Sammey wasn't to sure on most of what Willow said but she nodded with her scarf still over her face and the red was leaving her face. Than someone els said hi Sammey was able to make out who it was it was Hunter she hadn't seen him in some time. She looked at him and gived a little nod and when he said where we was going she give a little smile and nodded not really knowing most of what he said. Than she started to really black out as her body started to go limp.

A chuckle managed to escape Willow's lips as looked down towards the girl in her arms. The way Sammey bashfully hid her face with her scarf was more than a little amusing to the Novack girl. But she didn't linger on it, allowing the girl some relief from what would otherwise be a constant teasing, which nobody wants. That much is at least something that Willow understood: never do too much, even if it was hard to resist stopping completely. And the way that the white-haired young woman nodded in response gave her a bit of relief at the moment, ensuring that she was getting through to her. Really, all of this talking was just so that Sammey wasn't worried about her injury or, if she had a concussion, to make it that she didn't pass out in her arms.

Willow's plan obviously didn't work for long as Sammey began to fade in and out. This was the first signal for alarm and began to draw the young woman's attention once more. But before she could do anything else, she felt the white-haired girl become limp in her arms. Her mind began to race before rushing off, deciding that she would run towards the Nurse's office out of fear that they wouldn't make it in time otherwise. Biting down on her lower lip in worry, she eventually made it to the clinic, setting Sammey down on a nearby bed, she stayed with her as she allowed Richard to talk things out with the nurse.

Taking a seat next to Sammey, she reached carefully looked her over, "Hey, Sammey? Can you hear me?" she asked, reaching out to grasp at the girl's hand, looking for any sort of response, even if it was just her grip tightening for a few moments, "You'll be just fine, alright? They're gonna take good care of you." she promised, hoping for the best.

Richard yawned slightly as Willow rushed on ahead, clutching Sammey to her chest, the Syne Defense worker rushing behind her. He didn't bother speeding up from his meandering pace, knowing that his mere presence would do nothing to help the girl's recovery. To be honest he just wanted to get back to his dorm by this point.

When he finally arrived he found the nurse looking over Sammey, reaching a finger down and checking on her pulse.

The short man sighed, "Oi oi nurse. Some rubble fell onto her head, passed out a bit after that... so has she died yet or is she better now?"

The nurse stepped back, retrieving an ice cold compress and setting it on the girl's forehead; "Well, she's somewhere between the two but I'd say she's leaning more toward the better one. I seriously doubt she'll die, probably just passed out from a combination of shock and tiredness. May have a light concussion but I doubt anything more."

The man in his uniform sighed, "Oh, that's good. I should probably go inform the boss, you two did as instructed. Long as the nurse doesn't need you you're free to go, now I best rush away."

As he exited Richard turned back to the nurse who was retrieving some pills, pain killers, and a bottle of water; "So, do you need us or?..."

"Oh, no. You two have done more than enough, thank you. Just say your parting words to her and I'm sure she'll be thankful, she'll probably have to rest up here for tonight at the very least. Being a hunter in training I'm sure she'll recover quickly, single blow to the head won't end her."

Richard's brow furrowed, slightly annoyed that he was being strong armed into being nice to someone he hardly even knew. She hadn't earned his respect this... Salami woman. Her hair was far too long. He would give his parting words in his own Richard-ey way.

He lent over the blue eyed girl, hands plunged deep into his pocket and glowering down at her; "Oi, stupid Salami girl. You die and I'll kick the heck out of you, got it weakling?! Good! Right, I'm going."

The short boy turned and strode out of the nurses office and back to his dorm without another word to anyone.

[Exit]

Hunter sees Sammey pass out and the girl carrying her rush past him. he stands there confused abit. when richard walked by him he follows into the nurses office. he keeps to himself and just listens. Sammey and him were not close but he respected her as a huntress in training. He looks over at Richard he looked like he didn't care too much. when the nurse said she would be fine Hunter was releived, but the nurse demanded they dont stay long. Richard was the first to say his last words, and frankly he thought it was rather rude what he said. when richard leaves Hunter walks up. "Just get better Sammey. remember what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger" he gives her a smile he didn't want to be cheesy about what he was going to say but that was the only think that came to mind. he stays back to see if the other girl who was carrying sammey was going to help fix the lecture hall.

Sammey came to as son as Willow took off running as her head hit lightly on Willow's chest. The moving of Willow running to the Nurse's office it was helping her stay awake but at the same time is was making her feel even more sick form the moving. Once they got to the Nurse's office she was layed on one of the beds has soon as the nurse seen who it was there was a faceplam and got to work. Than everyone was tacking to her or so she was thinking and seen them talk to her but was still not sure what they were really saying.

The nurse than turned and looked at the other's "Thank you for brining her here and now if you don't mind i'll have to ask you all to leave." Than the nurse turned away form the other and started to work on Sammey.

{Exit}
