Whoa... mmmm... bleeeehh...
blleehh... bleh...

Wowwwwwwww...

The view from Vale's
got nothing on this!

Ooh! Ooh! Sis!

That kid has a
collapsible staff!

And she's got a fire sword!

Ow, ow...

Easy there, little sister.
They're just weapons.

Just weapons?

They're an extension
of ourselves!

They're a part of us!

They're so cool!

Well why can't you swoon
over your own w*apon?

Aren't you happy with it?

Of course I'm happy
with Cresent Rose!

I just really like
seeing new ones.

It's like meeting new people.

But better.

Ruby, come on, why don't you
go try and make some

friends of your own?

But why would I need
friends when I have you?

Well... Actually, my
friends are here.

Gotta go catch up.

'Kay, c'ya, bye.
Wait!

Where are you going?

Are we supposed
to go to our dorms?

Where are our dorms?
...Do we have dorms?

I don't know what I'm doing...

What are you doing!?

Uh... sorry.

Sorry?

Do you have any idea of the
damage you could've caused?

Uhh...

Gimme that!

This is Dust mined and purified
from the Schnee Quarry.

Uhh...

What are you, brain dead?

Dust!

Fire, Water, Lightning, energy!

Uhhh...

Are you even listening to me?

Is any of this sinking in?

What do you have to
say for yourself!?

Uhhhhaaaahhh-Chooooo!

Unbelievable!

This is exactly the kind of
thing I was talking about!

I'm really, really sorry!

Ugh! You complete, dolt!

What are you even doing here?

Aren't you a little young
to be attending Beacon?

Well... I...

This isn't your
ordinary combat school.

It's not just sparring
and practice you know.

We're here to fight monsters!

So watch where you're going!

Hey, I said I was
sorry, Princess!

It's Heiress, actually.

Weiss Schnee, heiress to
the Schnee Dust Company,

one of the largest producers of
energy propellant in the world.

Finally, some recognition!

The same company infamous for
its controversial labor forces

and questionable
business partners.

What-How dare...!

The nerve of...!

Ugh!

I promise I'll
make this up to you!

I guess I'm not the only one
having a rough first day.

So what's...?

Welcome to Beacon...

Hey...

I'm Jaune.

Ruby.

Aren't you the guy that
threw up on the ship?

All I'm saying is that motion
sickness is a much more

common problem than
people let on!

Look, I'm sorry Vomit-boy
was the first thing that

came to mind.

Oh yeah, what it I
called you Crater-face?

Hey, that expl*si*n
was an accident.

Well the name's Jaune Arc!

Short, sweet, rolls off the
tongue, ladies love it!

Do they?

They will.

Well, I hope they will...

I mean, my mom
always says that...

Never mind.

So I got this thing.

Whoa!

Is that a scythe!

It's also a customizable, high
impact velocity sn*per r*fle.

A wha-?

It's also a g*n.

Oh.

That's cool!

So what've you got?

Oh-uh, I got this sword.

Oooooooh!

Yeah, I've got a shield too!

So what do they do?

Well... the shield
gets smaller...

So... when I get tired of carrying it...

I can just put it away.

But wouldn't it weigh the same?

Yeah, it does.

Well, I'm kind of a dork
when it comes to weapons.

I guess I did go a little
overboard designing it.

Wait. You made that?

Of course!

All students at Signal
forge their own weapons.

Didn't you make yours?

It's a hand-me-down.

My great-great-grandfather
used it to fight in the w*r.

...sounds more like a
family heirloom to me!

Well I like it!

Not many people have an
appreciation for the

classics these days.

Yeah. The classics.

So why'd you help me out back
there, in the courtyard?

Eh, why not?

My mom always says,
"Strangers are just friends

you haven't met yet."

Hmmm... Hey, where
are we going?

Oh, I dunno, I was
following you.

You think there might
be a directory?

Maybe a food court?

Some sort of recognizable
landmark?

Is uh... Is that a "no"?

That's a "no".
