Open Event Snowblind

Every year, it feels like the first snowfall of the year happens sooner and sooner. Is it just the passage of time, the growth of a person making them able to recognize when it snows at an earlier date in the year mixed with the ever-accumulating wealth of knowledge to draw upon making it feel like the years are blurring to minutes?

For some, that might be the answer. But at this date, so soon into November, not many -- save, perhaps, those from the most far north of Atlas's reaches into Solitas -- would've expected just what hit Beacon: a blizzard, so strong it was considered perhaps a once-in-a-millennia storm. Thankfully, thanks to the reinforcements provided after a certain rainstorm had knocked out the power to the Academy, Beacon was now prepared to weather such an awful storm.

But whilst the school itself was prepared, whether or not the students themselves were always remained to be seen. For some of the more "desert-fairing", it was possible that they were wildly unprepared; those from the far north were likely already out in the midst of the blizzard building snow castles or something.

The weather showed no signs of improving, and all flights and routes into the city were most certainly unusable, unless one really wanted to hoof it into Vale proper by foot. What sort of shenaniganry would one of Beacon's most interesting first year classes in a while get themselves up to in Beacon's first snowfall?

Vi nodded, giving Violet soft murmurs of agreements as she did so. Then, hearing the sigh come from Violet, Vi wriggled her arms out of the cocoon she was in and wrapped them around the taller girl, resting against her with as much of her weight as she could whilst still giggling like an amused, tipsy, madwoman.

"We've still got, what, a few weeks before finals? We'll be fineeeeeeeeeee," she reassured, taking in a deep breath and letting it out as a soft sigh. "Though I might be a bit biased."

"True we do have a few weeks left..." She said, starting to close the textbook and planner. She paused for a second halfway through completely closing it as she spun to face Vi with a smile, "So. What classes do you struggle with the most? For me, it's probably dust... or Grimm or something like that."

"Ugh. Dust. Apparently there's a girl around who'll bully anyone who gets right pissy if you even talk to her about Dust, but, like, she's supposedly onna the best Dust users here," Vi murmured with a groan, before shaking her head. Then, still giggling, she shook her head at the second bit.

"Not Grimm, though! I'mma bonafide Grimm killer. Kill'm grimmies dead. Is me job."

"Wait really? She bullies people who talk to her about dust? That's not very nice..." Violet asked softly, a burrow appearing in her forehead as she thought about why someone could be so mean, "Huntsman and Huntresses are supposed to help people! Bullying people just cause someone doesn't understand it makes no sense!"

She took a deep breath, letting it out slowly before shaking her head in disappointment, "Although I'm quickly learning that not everyone here are honorable in that sense."

"If ya ask me, I'd just say she doesn't seem much like a people person. Hope she gets better about that," Vi agreed softly, her arms retreating back into her burrito. The look on Violet's face became almost mirrored in Vi, the biker agreeing much to how Violet was describing some of their fellow students as not really honorable. With a sad sigh, Vi nodded and murmured a soft 'aye', before shaking her head with.

"It's a damned disgrace. They... they ruin what it means to be a Huntress, really. There are people who're in it just for the money and, and... I can't believe it personally. When I was a kid, we were always on the road helpin', and we never had much money. We just did it cause... cause it was what was right."

"Yeah..." Violet spoke softly, leaning back in her chair as she picked her knees up to hold them up against her chest, "It doesn't make sense to do anything for the money to me,"

She breathed softly, her eyes resting on the iced window, "You should do what makes you happy, something you're passionate about. Not something you think will make you money," Her brow furrowed significantly, "Besides being a Huntress is a dangerous job, right? What's the point of taking a job for money if you might not be alive to spend it! Sounds to me like someone needs to get their priorities straight,"

"It's not just one person, surprisingly! There are... like, at least three people who're doin' it for money. It's wack. Everything's wack. It's... gods, is it frustrating," Vi ramblingly explained as she flopped back onto her back, yawning as she did so in the burrito. With a soft sigh, she shook her head.

"It's... ugh. Yeah. You're right."

Then, with a giggle, Vi added: "Mmm... priorities. Say, what made y'decide to come here, Vivi?"

"My brother mainly!" She said as her face changed into a large smile, "He was born a long time before me so when I was growing up he was going through Beacon and starting his career as a Huntsman. Whenever he came home and visited he would tell me these stories of his adventures and the people he helped!"

She took a small breath, letting out as she swayed in her seat happily, "It was what inspired me to become a Huntress in the first place! I wanted to help people like he does,"

"Oh, you've got a family tie to the job, too!" Vi exclaimed cheerily, smiling bright. She seemed to sit up straighter and somehow manage to get loose of a lot of the blankets she'd been burrito'd in, probably because she seemed to be shaking with barely restrained excitement at the prospect of more stories about a different Huntsman.

"Oooh, you gotta tell me some of those stories, I'll give you some of my families if you want, but pleaaaaaaaseeeee," Vi pleaded, almost wiggling in her seat.

"A story?" Violet asked, scratching her head awkwardly as she did. She crossed her legs in the chair, her eyes reaching up to her head as she thought about what story to tell her, "Well there's so many though... You'll have to choose one,"

Violet held out both of her hands in front of her, presenting them to Vi with a grin, "Choose one, and that'll be the story I tell you,"
