| Alicia veritably tumbled into the dorm room that she'd been assigned with her team, of which she was now the leader, feathers ruffled and looking all around tired. The initiation had been exciting and challenging, sure, but now that the adrenaline was gone, everyone was bound to crash. Not to mention that Alicia didn't know the first thing about her teammates, other than some superficial details such as weapons and general fighting style. One of them also seemed to be blind, but she couldn't be certain. Their names had been announced along with hers to form team PARL, or Pearl, but she couldn't quite remember them.
Oh, and there were two humans on her team. That would go over real smoothly when she contacted her liaison in the White Fang, for sure. She cringed just thinking about it.
But she didn't need to think about that now. Her teammates would be right behind her, and get to the room any minute. So she just dumped her bag on a dresser along the wall and flopped onto a bed to the far left of the room, effectively claiming it. She only hesitated long enough before landing to take Hiljainen off of her belt and her quiver off her thigh and lovingly prop them up in a corner. | |

| Rachael was second to walk in the room, only a minute after Alicia had collapsed on her bed from exhaustion. This room had been the same one Rachael had been staying in since she first came to Beacon, and was the same one that her previous team had been staying in. She had lots of memories with this room, both good and bad alike. She'd miss them, one of them more than the others, but she had to move on now. With a sigh, Rachael walked over to her bed, the same one she'd been sleeping in for a long time, and flopped down into it.
"Bullshit teachers... making me go through stupid ****ing initiation again." she mumbled under her breath, kicking off her shoes and throwing the covers over herself. The only thing sticking out of the top of the blankets now were her doggy ears and a little bit of her head, just so she could hear the others if they tried to talk to her. Hopefully they wouldn't and she would just be left to sleep in peace for once. She had a feeling that wasn't going to happen. | |

| Amani was next to walk in. She silently entered the room with a single bag over her shoulder and looked around. She decided a bed to pick and patted it to feel its softness, only to sigh and toss the blankets off the bed, kick the bed frame off to the side and tie the comforter up like a hammock. "Das betta." she said to herself. | |

| For a long while, spectators would see a fairly tall blonde girl in her school uniform wandering the long and sometimes dusty corridors of Beacon. She would occasionally knock on a door and ask a quick question and keep on moving. To her, the hallways were like a maze, and her dorm was the safe house at the end. She soon hoped to reach that safe house that was her new dorm. Now how could a pretty blind girl like herself find a dorm in the hallways of seemingly endless other dorms? Lots of knocking, asking, and wrong directions.
She finally approached a door feeling a small silicone plaque next to the door. She led her dainty finger over the Braille letters as she mouthed the words, "Team PARL" out to no one but herself. She opened the door slightly feeling a cold rush of air flood her body, like stepping from a sauna into the depths of a tundra. Luckily the dorm rooms were conditioned, but the bad part was the hallways weren't, meaning if she were to ever get lost, she would probably die of dehydration or a sun stroke. The blind girl fully opened the door taking a small step inside. She put her two small suitcases and her hand bag which she received as a gift from a friend down next to the door. She took out her weapon, which just happened to be a cane modified for combat situations and extended it. She used it to feel her surroundings and finally gave a slow wave and a genuine smile and said, "Hello, my name is Asami, and if this is Team PARL I'll be your new teammate." | |

| Alicia cracked an eye open and glanced over to where a lump in the covers of another bed was grumbling about initiation. That was a lump with dog ears, and Alicia recognized her as one of the fiercer fighter's she fought alongside of. Understanding of the sentiments, she didn't say anything, opting instead to sit up tiredly, rubbing her face with her still-gloved hands. She noticed that she was still in her battle gear, and knew she should change if she wanted to be comfortable should she accidentally fall asleep. She wasn't so sure how that would go, though. If she was sharing a room with these girls, she'd have to be able to change of course, but it was a bit more of a production with wings. Sighing heavily, Alicia eyed another girl who came -ah yes, the tribal one- and watched with tired interest as she converted her bed into a little hammock. "Points for creativity..." she mumbled.
Another, final opening of the door brought their last teammate, a tall and pretty girl with a cane that Alicia had seen used for much deadlier purposes than feeling her way around a room. So sheisblind, she thought, getting up wearily and walking over to where the girl was. One of her bags had fallen where she might trip on it if she were to step in too quickly, so Alicia, in an uncharacteristic bout of kindness, moved it out of the way for her.
"Yeah, this is team PARL's room," she said, stooping to pick up the bag and setting it on a dresser, "I'm Alicia, the leader. And you guys are..?" She looked around the room at that, addressing everyone. After all, the sooner the air was cleared and awkward intros were out of the way, the better. | |

| Rachael turned over in her bed and pulled down the sheets just enough to show her eyes. The rest of her face was hidden from view by the blankets, but her eyes were probably more interesting than the rest of her. "Rachael Lorelei." was all she said before her eyes turned from a calm yellow to a bloody red. And so began the mandatory breaking of privacy as she looked into their hearts and souls to read what they were feeling. Tired and exhausted, all of them, but she could relate. Initiation was in fact tiring, she couldn't deny that. The blind one felt gentle and warm, and she could tell that she would be the kindest of the group. The tribal one? Rachael actually had no clue, but she'd learn to read her like an open book in the coming weeks. And the bird? Calm and a little awkward, she guessed, although possibly not. Again, she wasn't sure. She wasn't really trying to read them right now, she was too lazy and tired and had overused her semblance during initiation.
"Oh well..." she mumbled, her eyes reverting back to yellow before she adjusted herself under her blanket and found a comfy position to lay in, still looking at her new teammates with a blank stare.

| "Da name is Amani." Amani said as she adjusted her hammock to her liking. Finally getting it fit to her liking, she smiled and turned to the group, straightening her face. "Da Initiation was sometin', huh" She asked, struggling to say the word "initiation" due to her accent. | |

| Asami took her cane and slid it gently into a corner. She would then use it to guide herself to a nearby bed hoping it wasn't already taken. If the bed was not taken, she would memorize the movements she performed after stepping through the doorway. This is how she lived, and got around so easily. It may take extra thought processes, but at least it worked out for her. Since the dorm she already knew the layout and default placement of furniture for her previous dorm, she assumed that all first year dormitorieshad the same default layout. To test this theory she lifted up her cane for a second and pointed it towards the nearby window, and then poked it with the tip of the cane as it made a slight 'ping' tone.
She then nodded her head and set her cane back on the ground and into the 90 degree angle made by the wall and floor. Her other hand that was slightly stretched out in front of her finally hit something soft, and woolly. She knew that this was a bed, and she heard no sound whatsoever in the immediate vicinity of the bed. She then said in a quiet voice, "If no one has claimed this bed already, I'll claim it right now." To make her point she put her cane down on the bed, and then sat down next to it placing her folded hands on her lap. Very ladylike and in comfortable in some form. She would then begin to talk about her initiation story. "Oh. initiation you say? Very exciting to most, but not for me. I was exempt from participating, and I was to be assigned to a team, and that team was known as BLAZ, but I never did get to meet the members or 'see' the dorm. I can't imagine how exciting initiation must have been..." Asami then put her finger to her chin in thought and reflection on how different things might have been if she partook in the festivities of the initiation.

| Alicia watched Asami navigate the room in slight fascination in the way she did things. "No, you're good." she said at her question, "That bed's yours."
She paused to listen to Asami's introduction, looking around the room as she did so. Everyone was different, that much was certain. It made sense that she would be exempt from initiation, but it also didn't make sense. Sure, she was blind, but this was a combat school. She must have demonstrated her skill some other way to get into Beacon.
After a moment in awkward silence, Alicia decided to get up and do something. She grabbed her bag, a weathered duffel bag, and plopped it on top of her dresser, unzipping it and putting her belongings in their respective drawers. There were a few books as well, which she put on a low shelf near the centre of the room. She spent about ten minutes unpacking, oblivious to any activity that didn't involve her, until the bag was empty. Well, empty of everything except one thing; a white half-mask made to cover the upper half of someone's face. Her White Fang mask. She decided to leave it in the bag for now, zipped it up, and slid the near-empty bag under her bed.
When she was done, she suggested, "Unpacking is probably a good idea," to no one in particular. | |

| "I already unpacked. This has been my dorm since I got here." Rachael stated, adjusting her blanket to cover her glowing red eyes. "And you were the replacement that BLAZ was getting? Where the hell were you?" she asked angrily from under her covers. "We were waiting for you to do stuff with us as a team!" Rachael was getting a little angry right about now, but was doing her best to stay calm. It wasn't working, and she'd probably get real angry in a minute or so, much to her own dismay. | |

| Asami sighed and said to Rachael retorting her previous statement, "Well, if you would really like to know about why I was missing in action, I would be delighted to tell you. But you don't have to get all hot and bothered about it." She then frowned feeling an unpleasant atmosphere in the room now, and could feel the anger in Rachael's voice rising. She then took her cane and stood up sliding it into the 90 degree angle between the wall and the floor yet again retracing her steps back to her bags. When she arrived at them, she identified them with a slight kick at them. She then picked up the two small bags in one of her hands and made her way back over to the bed.
Once she was back to sitting on her bed, she reached over next to the bed, feeling a wooden drawer, which was further revealed to be a whole cabinet. She opened one drawer and began to unpack all of her belongings. She then said, "I was missing because I was taking MY initiation. It was a longer process, as I was prevented from participating in the normal initiation. I demonstrated my skills in other forms, and was given an in depth tour of the school, a new part every day. As it takes a long while to describe every nook and cranny of this prestigious academy." She then 'looked' in the general direction she thought Rachael's voice was emanating from and said, "Happy, miss?" | |

| Rachael sat up in her bed and propped her back up against the wall, keeping all but the top half of her face covered. "The last time I was happy was a few days ago at the least, and I'm not feeling particularly giddy right now so no, I'm not." she said, staring at her teammates with a glare that could pierce diamond. "I'm sitting here with three people I'm not familiar with, in a room that holds fond memories of people long gone. One would imagine I feel uncomfortable after that, no?" | |

| Alicia listened to Rachael's complaints and signed, trying not to roll her eyes. "Well, it seems like they're gone now, and we're here now. This isn't an ideal situation for anyone, so we're all just going to have to deal with it." She looked around the room for objections. | |
