Morning came and I was the first one to wake up. I look down and see everyone below me sleeping peacefully.

Carrion: Maybe I woke up a bit too early. Oh well.

I activate my cloaking and stealthily let myself down while holding onto the ceiling beam with a tendril. Once I make it down, I uncloak and quickly retract my tendril. I then quietly make my way to the nearby locker room where I put my clothes in.

Carrion's Mind: Hopefully they haven't become a clump of biomass overnight.

When I enter the locker room and find my locker, I open it, and sure enough, there is a clump of biomass. Luckily, it's not rotting.

Carrion: Crap...

I immediately absorb the biomass and my clothes returned to me, good as new.

Carrion: Whew. At least I can do that. Now, where is...aha! Here it is!

I grab a battery from my locker and quickly chow it down to regain the energy used for cloaking and to wake myself up after sleeping.

Carrion: Mmm...much better.

RUby: UGH!!! You sound like dad...

Ruby puts her weapon away into her locker in frustration and I look back to see the pair of half-sisters.

Ruby: First of all, what does meeting new people have to do with fighting? And second, I don't need to meet new people to grow up. I. Drink. Milk!

I creep right behind her before giving my input in this matter.

Carrion: And I think you need to stop being so adorable.

Ruby: AAAAAAH!!!!!

Carrion: Hehe. Gotcha.

Ruby: CARRION!!!!

Carrion: Good to see you too, Little Jewel.

Yang: AHAHAHAH!!!! Good one, handsome!

Ruby: YANG!!!!

Carrion: Now then, how are you two enchanting sisters doing this morning?

Ruby: E-enchant-!?

Yang: Aw, aren't you a sweet talker? My baby sister and I are doing fine, handsome. I was just telling her to meet new people and break out of her shell.

Ruby: I-I don't need to break out of my shell! That's absolutely-!

Jaune: Ridiculous!

Jaune passed the three of us, having a hard time trying to find the locker where he put his stuff in.

Jaune: There's no way I put my gear in locker 636 yesterday!! I would've remembered having to count that high! Why does this have to happen today?

Jaune then almost passes Weiss and Pyrrha talking to each other.

Weiss: So, Pyrrha. Have you given any thought to whose team you'd like to be on? I'm sure everyone would like to team up with a strong, well-known individual such as yourself.

Pyrrha: Hmm...I'm not quite sure. I was planning to let the chips fall where they may.

Weiss: Well, I was thinking that we could be on a team together.

Pyrrha: That sounds grand!

Weiss: Great.

She then turns around and does a villain-like pose with a creepy face as she devises up a plan. All of a sudden, Jaune interrupts her train of thought by hitting on her. Or rather, trying to hit on her.
