Brock listened to what was apparently his new teammates and was that close to genuinely believing Hagane's rant when he revealed it was a joke, to which Brock took a thoroughly nonplussed expression.

He then answered Diana's question. "I have no idea. But I somehow doubt that that... thing would be used as a team's name, as hysterical as it would be."

[Vision]

((OOC: We can totally change back if you prefer, and sorry for the delay got sick when I finally had a break from coursework))

Though feeling a bit foolish for believing Hagane she laughed at his joke before turning to Janna.
 "Well if it's anything like Atlas it would be one initial from each member that in total represents a color. But I have to agree with Brock, I don't see how a sausage in a bun with condiments is one color. Or how you would even spell that with four letters."

Diana started looking around the room for a catering table or a sign pointing to a kitchen as she absentmindedly said "Maybe there's a second part to the puzzle?"

[Flooberoid]

"Another part...? No, that's unlikely. The time limit provided simply doesn't allow for it. I believe we should just clear out of the way so that nobody approaches us and wait." Hagane said this as if any of the students staring at them had somehow failed to notice they already had a team. Sure, some of them had started timidly trying relics with other relics, but the general student body was still gawking with bewilderment at the strange group in the center. Hagane gestured for Diana to follow him as he started moving toward the edge of the room where the stage was located.

Janna followed the team along with a somewhat bemused expression on her face. If that was actually the name of the team, she couldn't say she was all that ecstatic about it. However, she looked around at the others and a smirk snuck up on her lips.

"Well, at the very least, as far as team composition goes I think we're pretty damn well off." She commented.

[nathan67003]

Brock followed his new teammates, his rather light steps making more sound than would otherwise seem possible. He had quite the trouble wrapping his mind around the fact that his team was named after a popular item in stadiums and fast-food restoration. He probably wouldn't succeed for many, many days.

As Jana spoke, he nodded in agreement, glancing at his newfound comrades from up high. "Yeah, seems pretty diverse.", he answered with a smile, his low voice almost resonating.

[Vision]

"Oh right the time limit, I forgot about that. You're right multiple parts wouldn't really be possible then." She said whilst gladly following Hagane out of the crowd.

"It does seem like we have a bit of everything." Her teammates all seemed incredibly impressive, tall, armored, powerful weaponry, there was an unavoidable confidence that she felt radiate from them. It was obvious that they had proved themselves in some serious fights down there, something she hadn't. Worrying that she would be the weak link she sheepishly tried to smooth out some wrinkles in her dress to at least look presentable.

((Sorry for the really slow response time, I've unfortunately gotten rather sick and have exams to deal with :/ I should be back to full around mid May. Sorry again.))

[Flooberoid]

((Ha! Not like I've been getting on it all that fast, either.))

"Indeed. We will have to go over combat styles following our official team assignment. I would certainly appreciate being made aware of Brock's attack patterns, seeing as anyone but Janna would be pulverized on impact with his hammer." Jokes aside, Hagane wondered how much aura he would lose if that hammer hit him. It seemed safe to assume he wouldn't be walking shortly afterwards.

With a full ten minutes completely wasted, the remaining initiates frantically started jamming relics together to find their teammates.

((I can skip to the end whenever we want.))

[Walter]

Janna snickered at that, but nodded. Yeah, she figured she could probably take a hit or two from that thing. After all, she did just go through getting slammed into a wall by a giant fucking snake.

The shield maiden watched as the teams seemed to slowly get assembled. "I have to say, Beacon seems to really prefer show over practicality. Seems like a bit of a mess, doesn't it?"

(I'm alright with a skip.)

[nathan67003]

"...Well I, uh, just swing it towards where I wanna hit, really." was Brock's response to Hagane's question. That didn't have a question mark he could detect. Oh well.

He nodded at Janna's affirmation, looking around a bit as he did at the chaos and failing to notice how people tended to steer clear from the hulking piece of flesh that was his form.

[Vision]

Diana gave a quick giggle at the prospect, thinking that her aura might be strong enough to take a hit but it would certainly send her flying. However her giggles were more out of relief than humor. Being alone in the forest that long had been surprisingly draining, it felt nice knowing she shouldn't have to deal with that again.

"It would be nice to learn a bit about what each other, not just in the form of weaponry and semblances, but you know hobbies and such. I guess we'll be seeing a fair amount of each other so plenty of time from now on." Turning from the group she addressed Janna specifically. "Well I can only compare with Atlas, which was a lot more formal about everything. I think all the showiness is just to help with team building."

((Okay for the skip as well))

[Flooberoid]

"I must admit, I'm not particularly familiar with big city traditions like this. Personally I think I'd prefer the formal version, although this has proven entertaining at the very least." The thought occurred to him to look for hidden cameras, as though they were being manipulated into performing for some kind of TV program.

Time was called shortly, and a new set of instructions came in. Initiates who believed they had found their teams were to gather before a woman with a clipboard left of stage for verification. They would then be admitted for official acknowledgement and assignment by the man from earlier, who was standing before a large screen with four images of empty picture frames.

Based on their position in the room, the group found themselves close to the front of the line with only a few teams ahead of them. The rush to get in line was just as frenzied as the rush to find teammates, with one group in particular shoving their way past Hagane to position themselves towards the front. "Joke's on them," Hagane muttered to his team. "We shall all have to remain in this room until the end of the ceremony regardless of who goes first or last."

[Walter]

She nodded slowly. "Well, it's a bit odd, but I guess it... mostly works?"


Janna smirked at Hagane's comment, standing with the team with her arms crossed on her chest. She was finally going to become a huntress with this. Or, one in training. An actual part of a team, sworn to uphold the highest standards presented by this school... She released a sigh of content. She belonged here.

[nathan67003]

Brock shrugged. "Dunno. I prefer being relaxed than surrounded by a bunch of uptight snots with broomsticks up their asses."


Brock briefly considered the possibility of merely moving forwards to make the hurried team move or get crushed, but ended up deciding against it. As Hagane had said, their loss. He just crossed his arms, taking an 'I'm waiting' stance without looking impatient about it.

[Vision]

"Not sure I can agree that being catapulted into a forest full of grim counts as relaxing." She said with a small smirk towards Brock. "But I think you're right, people seem a lot more welcoming here in general even if it is a bit showy."


Looking expectantly towards the man on stage Diana seemed far more eager than she had until this point, there was just something about the sense of the room and having her team that helped her nerves.

"There's no rush." She said in agreement with Hagane. "Besides It'll be nice to see the teams of our classmates."

[Flooberoid]

"Indeed. I am curious to see if the other initiates received equally strange names as us."

The man from earlier could be heard announcing the first of many teams. "...Team Pepperoni (PPRN), led by Patricia Primrose."

"Ah. It appears they did." Hagane crossed his arms, looked down and smiled, satisfied.

((I'm changing the announcer dude's color on account of it being utterly impossible to read. xD))
