Janna didn't really get too 'smushed' in that whole ordeal. Matter of fact, she held pretty well against the wave of people, though she did make room out of politeness. She scrunched her nose at the smells, though. So much for being polite these days, huh?

She waited for everyone else to get out before her, and was lightly amused at the boy's apparent attempt at being smooth. Oh, the poor guy's bound for disappointment there. Still, she nodded and stepped out. "Thanks." She plainly said, placing her hands in her pockets, and then producing her scroll to check where they had to go.

[Xarias Fury]

Kei put on the most visible look of pity she had on her and stared at Chris and his apparent attempt of being a 'gentleman' or whatever it was he was trying to do. Funnily enough Janna seemed to have been unimpressed and Kei stiffled a guffaw at the scene, quickly popping open her scroll to check the floor layout.

"Looks like we should get going, the mail room is that way. She said, raising an eyebrow at the both of them, "So much for being smooth, kid. A stunt like that won't work on any girl worth her salt.

With a snicker Kei started walking towards the mail room and was slightly surprised by the sheer amount of paper and packages lying around. In the middle of the the mountain of mail was a burly white haired...bear faunus? lying around with his shirt exposing his navel as he napped on a pile of old envelopes.

"Hey, if he doesn't wake up maybe we can just lounge around till it's time to leave.

[Mikelobmike]

Chris took his hand back from the elevator and followed suit. "What? A man can't be polite anymore?" he said, once again irritated that the world seemed to be against him.

He followed the two to the mail room, looking at the mass of papers and envelopes they were supposed to go through. "Isn't it a bit strange, though? I mean, we're fighters. The fuck are we going through mail for?" he asked the two he was with.

(OOC: Just so everyone knows, Xar allowed me to join.)

"Well, it probably has something to do with your god awful personality." A voice spoke from above them.

Sitting casually on a large stack of boxes and papers was a teenage girl with scarlet red hair and piercing blue eyes. Dressed in armor with appeared to be long red butt cape, a large greatsword rested against her knee.

"Sup?" The girl waved, "The name's Tristan Pyrails."

[Xarias Fury]

"Oh great, another brat. Kei muttered, receiving a message informing her of the last addition to their group. She was already getting annoyed by Chris' attitude and the fact she had to work as a courier but having another kid to the group just made it seem al little too much like real punishment. Maybe her suffering was what the professor wanted all along. What a dick. "Why don't you guys try waking him up. Assuming he doesn't rip your faces off. I heard bear faunus like doing that when they're angry.

Kei snickered and started making a paper plane out of a letter that landed nearby. It looked unimportant enough that she threw it and it landed straight on the burly man's belly.

[Walter]

"Last I checked, we were doing this as a punishment. 'Course it ain't gonna be fun." She told Chris, then glances over to the new voice. She gives her a wave. "Janna Tarmac." She introduced herself.

She watched the paper airplane land, before sighing and heading over. She patted the guy on the shoulder, not particularly worried about some mailing room worker deciding to fight her. "Sir? Hey, we're here to help out with the mail."

[Xarias Fury]

The burly bear faunus snorted and pointed at a nearby stalk of mail, conveniently arranged despite the mess. Yawning once he also flipped a switch that sent a shoot spraying more mail around the area.

Watching the scene before her eyes Kei gave a 'why did you have to wake him up' look at Janna before opening her scroll to find out it had been updated with their routes. Kei quickly picked the easiest route but re-picked a second later to be able to get nearer the higher floors. Higher floors usually meant richer folks.

"Great, well might as well get started. Kei groaned, grabbing a small trolley and filling it up with mail destined for her floor.

The room had around 3 more trolleys each empty for each student. They seemed to be brand new making Kei wonder if those tubes actually did all the work and this really was just useless labor.

[Mikelobmike]

Chris selected the route closest to the mail room. Figured he could cut on travel time. He started piling mail onto his own trolley, stacks and stacks meant for the floors just above them. "Chris Sebei, by the way. I figure with four people we should be able to get this done relatively quickly." he said, turning and nodding to the redhead.

Chris started to work quickly, trying to get his portion of the work done as quickly as possible so that he could get the fuck away from this place and the people in it.

[Swordslinger]

By stark contrast, when Tristan started to work on her pile of mail, she was doing it as lazily as possible. Sorting the mail from highest to lowest, she started to pack it all away in the nearest trolley.

"Sooo...." Tristan clicked her tongue, "Whatcha all here for?"

[Walter]

Janna took the last trolley and filled it up, organizing the deliveries to simply go from closest to this room to farthest.

She sighed. "Bringing alcohol into school grounds." She responded, starting to wheel her trolley out. "I would say this might have been overkill as punishment, but I can't say it was undeserved."

[Xarias Fury]

"And I'm stuck with you brats cuz I dozed off in class... Kei grunted, tossing a box angrily into her cart. "Stupid professors.

Kei dragged her cart along and started doing her rounds, ignoring the lower years while scanning the area and its rather droll appearance. A couple of employees were on break and gave her a curious glance to which she replied with a glare and a check of their name tags for mail. Luckily, her scroll recorded the names of those who needed their packages as well as locations, hers being somewhat further away due to her need to get near the server room. Unfortunately break time meant employees were always in her way and more than a few men stared at the 'cute' dog faunus doing mail duty with a pout on her face.

[oc: Skipping because mail duty is boring af so gonna say it's around evening and the quad got assigned to menial tasks and cleaning. Feel free to have your characters do whatever during the period or if they interacted with each other during the time but keep up with time skip afterwards to get the real plot moving. :3]


10:00 PM

Kei groaned as she sat on an empty office worker's chair. Many already left for home which left her and the other students on cleaning duty and makeshift guard duty. Essentially patrolling the grounds for activity, not that they expected anything, while picking up trash. Probably using the free labor to make up for cut salaries and the like. Having her yo-yo nearby she played with it and looked around to see the current state of the area and saw that not many were left, as evident by the dying fluorescent lights above the cubicles. There wasn't anything worth taking what with the cameras around and the server room she passed earlier was under tight watch by heavily equipped guards, something around four with regular changes with patrols.

Giving up on such a petty want Kei knew that if someone was going to break in there they'd have to get in from the outside, which was over two hundred feet in the air, while avoiding trip wires. The face of the building was flat so that got rid of ledge grabs which meant a lot of unnecessary weight in equipment. Not worth the trouble. Sighing she checked her scroll and saw that they were allowed to leave by midnight, presumably escorted to the nearest transport terminal if they wished. Oddly enough.

Currently assigned to the same floor, just a few lower than the server rooms that Kei scouted, the lower years would be either lounging around like Kei or patrolling. Nothing suspicious was happening so far and it seemed that this job would've been nothing but a waste of time. For the moment at least.

[Mikelobmike]

Chris took the stairs up the last few floors of the building, making his way toward the roof. He needed a break. After several hours of work interspersed with being chastised by Kei, a breather on the roof would do him some good.

After the door opened, he was greeted with a dose of fresh air, taking a deep breath. He leaned against the wall, sliding down until he was sitting on the roof. "All this trouble for a damn prank. Pain in the ass teachers." he said, resting his head against the wall behind him.

[Swordslinger]

Meanwhile, Tristan was....well, she supposed to be "patrolling," but the reality was that she was basically just wandering around the building while she waited for time to punch out. So, that meant essentially just doing a bunch of random things to pass the time. She had contemplated going up to the roof...but nah, that jerk was up there, also, it was night and probably cold. So unless she wanted to wake up sick, she would probably stay indoors.

Stopping at a window, Tristan took a second to gaze out into the skyline, where the shattered moon lay hanging in the sky.

"....You know, I'm surprised none of those fragments have hit the planet yet." Tristan muttered to herself.

[Walter]

Janna, on the other hand, was doing her work quite responsibly, keeping an eye out for anything strange. Menial work or not, they were huntsmen in training. It was their duty to protect and serve the people of Vale, and if that meant boring-as-hell guard duty, so be it.

The large woman was currently moving through the halls, she kept one hand on her sword. Sure, they weren't /expecting/ for there to be action, but her master had always told her to be prepared. Every so often, she'd pick up some loose paper or can someone had so disrespectfully discarded without finding a trash can, and dispose of it properly.

At some point, however, she stops and sighs, taking a seat on the ground near a window in an empty, dark hall. She had been going around for about an hour, trying to look prideful as she did, but she couldn't change the thought of how humiliating this whole thing was to her.

[Xarias Fury]

The band of White Fang operatives, having just gotten in a moment before, begun their insertion and made their way into the building. The loud thud caused by a large falling rock distracted the guards enough for Sidewinder and his partner to make their way in, the sound wouldn't have been heard inside the building or even on the rooftops but the alarm caused a bit of a ruckus. After sneaking into the building they quickly slid by two patrolling guards while their comrades offered a small hacking service to get rid of the cameras. For now nobody noticed and they made their way to the fire escape, ascending a few steps before jerking at the sound of a buzz followed by a sigh.

"Took you long enough. Ali isn't the most patient guy around and sneaking past that front door should've taken you a lot less time than needed."

"Nice to see you too, Blue. Now, how do we get up?" Sidewinder replied, regarding the rather frail bodied bear faunus with a nod.

Blue scratched his head while  pulling out his scroll. Rubbing the bridge of his nose to find no glasses there he squinted and fiddled with the small device while saying, "Hold on a sec, have to reroute the cameras back to the main feed. They're gonna notice the loop in a second if I don't."

"Nerd."

"Done. Now, Ali said we should just take the stairs for now. It's gonna take a while for him to tag all the cameras and find all the traps. That means no falling up for now."

"Damned monkey."

After making their way up the stairs, the bear faunus having had a convenient grappling rope the hauled him all the way up as the others climbed and walked, they met face to face with a wide grinned, red-haired monkey faunus with a scimitar at his side and an unconscious guard.

"Follow my lead. Sidewinder you'll have to stay behind with your pretty scaly ass and scout our escape route while me and Blue  hack the servers. Apparently their patrols check in at regular intervals so we have roughly an hour left before they figure out a guard is missing. The guy isn't a faunus so I'll be hiding my tail but I trust you idiots wouldn't misfire on me if things go bad."

Ali seemed to be a lot more serious than usual, something must have ticked him off. Usually he'd joke around every few seconds but the look in his eyes suggested something else.

"Got it." Sidewinder replied, offering no further comment. He'd save the questions for later. After Ali left, dressing in the guards attire, Sidewinder tied the man up and gagged him with several layers of ducktape as well as a handkerchief in his mouth. They wore their masks just before he woke up and Ali was the only one with a tail. Sidewinder did his job and scouted ahead, dodging guards by a hair as the now hacked cameras played a loop of their patrols. Nothing should go wrong now, not with their goal being an arms reach away.
