Weiss: Professor Oobleck? Byleth?
Byleth waved at the girls and went ahead to the Bullhead. Professor Oobleck talked fast, per the norm, as he paced in front of the students.
Oobleck: Yes, I'm afraid those bags won't be necessary, girls, seeing as you've opted to shadow a Huntsman on what is now essentially a reconnaissance mission. I can assure you, we will not be establishing a single base of operations, rather, we will be traversing several miles of hazardous wasteland and making camp in any defendable locations we may stumble upon. I packed all of our essentials myself, plotted our air course, and readied the airship. And... *zooms up right to Weiss' face* It's Doctor Oobleck. I didn't earn the PhD for fun, thank you very much! *backs away quickly*
Weiss looked over at Blake, who was equally disturbed.
Weiss: Uh...
Oobleck: Come now, children, according to my schedule, we are already three minutes behind! *then, as an afterthought to clarify:* ...schedule!
He zipped off to the airship docked farther ahead in a second when Byleth just arrived.
Ruby: *becomes positive and upbeat* Well, alright, then! Looks like we're going to save the world with Doctor Oooobleck *becomes suddenly as depressed as her team halfway through*- okay yeah when you say it out loud it sounds worse.
Nora: *off-screen* Save the world?
Ruby's team turned around to see Nora and Team JNPR approaching.
Nora: *being dramatic* You're going on world-saving missions without us? I'm hurt... sad! *stomach rumbles* Maybe a little hungry? That last one's not your fault, though, Ren...
Ren, for his part, simply crossed his arms and turned away.
Jaune: Sounds exciting. Where ya going?
Ruby: Oh, just outside the kingdom...
Nora: Hey! So are we!
Pyrrha: Ren and Nora wanted to shadow the sheriff of a nearby village.
Ren: We set out tomorrow.
Neptune: *off-screen* Then you can party with us tonight! *Neptune and Sun approach the two groups* We're shadowing a crime specialist. All inner-city detective stuff. We get junior badges.
Jaune was awestrucked.
Sun: We normally go to the city with you guys, which means stuff's always exploding and junk, so we thought this might be a better way to check out the kingdom when it's, you know... normal.
Ruby: Well-
Oobleck appeared from the airship to call to Team RWBY, who were embarrassed:
Oobleck: Four minutes, ladies!
He went back inside as their friends smiled awkwardly at the girls.
Ruby: Well, uh... *throws a thumbs-up* Wish us luck!
With that, the friends disbanded, either back to Beacon Academy or towards their mission. Cut to the airship flying over buildings and streets amid deafening turbines.
Yang: *to Oobleck* I guess I just never saw you as much of a fighter.
Oobleck: I admit I fancy myself more of an intellectual, but I can assure you, as a Huntsman, I've had my fair share of tussles.
Ruby: *tilts her head in confusion* Like the mushroom?
Blake: *leans over* Those are truffles.
Ruby: *still scratching her head in befuddlement* Like the sprout?
