Remnant Legends: Gold

Setting the Stage for Initiation Day

At the next sunrise in the auditorium of Beacon Academy, the room is seen nearly vacant as most of the students are seen getting ready for the anticipated initiation day. However, some of them were still fast asleep, one of them being a young man with black hair in a peaceful slumber. As his eyes start wearily opening and closing before waking up, he sees a full-view ginger-haired hyperactive girl right before him.

Ginger-Haired Girl: Wake up, lazy butt!

As the active girl quickly dashes to the side, the boy gets up with a groan as his friend hounds him.

Ginger-Haired Girl: (In a singing tone, quickly darting around her friend) It's morning~! It's morning~! It's morning! It's morning~!

After a rude awakening, the setting changes to the exasperated boy brushing his teeth in the restroom while his friend continues to talk his ear off.

Ginger-Haired Girl: I can't believe we've been at Beacon for a full twenty-four hours! Not that I thought we'd get kicked out or anything; I mean, you're the perfect student, and I'm... well, I'm me! But it's just crazy, you know?

The scene changes to the ballroom, where the two are readying themselves. The nutty girl is brushing her hair while continuing to chatter while her tired cohort is tightening the strings on his sleeping bag.

Ginger-Haired Girl: We've been friends for soooooooo long! What are the odds we'd still be together? Well, not 'together' together, not that I'm not saying that you're not handsome, you are handsome, but that'd just be weird, right?!

The scene relocates yet again as the two are in the middle of eating their breakfast, with the girl having a pancake hanging from her mouth as she still talks.

Ginger-Haired Girl: (Muffled through her food) Right! What was I thinking? But still, I hope we end up on the same team together! (Slurps up the rest of her pancake) Oohhhh! We should come up with some sort of plan to make sure we end up on the same team together! What if we bribe the headmaster? No, that won't work. He has the school.

With one last scene change, the two are seen readying themselves in the locker room, with the boy loading his hooked guns and his chatty friends still, of course, chatting.

Ginger-Haired Girl: I know! We'll have some sort of signal! Like a distress signal! (Gasps) A secret signal so we can find each other in the forest! Can you imitate a sloth?

Black-Haired Boy: (Finally replying) Nora?

Nora: Yes, Ren?

Ren: (Sheathing his weapons in his sleeves) I don't think sloths make a lot of noise.

Nora: (Thinks for a moment) That's why it's perfect! No one will suspect we're working together!

Ren: (Smiling and shutting his locker) Come on, Nora, let's go.

Nora: Not "together-together..." (Giggles)

Ren heads out while a skipping Nora follows, passing Ruby and Yang as they are busy readying themselves.

Ruby: Wonder what those two are so worked up about?

Yang: Oh, who knows? So, you seem awfully chipper this morning!

Ruby: Yep! After everything that went down yesterday, I'm ready to prove myself!

Yang: (Raises an eyebrow) How so?

Ruby: Simple, my dear sister. No more awkward small talk or "getting-to-know-you" stuff. Today, I get to let my sweetheart do the talking. (Strokes Crescent Rose as she sighs happily) I'm gonna show this academy exactly what I'm made of!
