"November Fifteenth."

"So, we're in Vacuo at the moment. Didn't really expect us to be here, especially so soon after the war. But apparently General Ironwood needed to consult with the new headmistress."

You look out the window of your room and hum, before focusing on your journal again.

"It's been four months since I moved in with Cole and Winter. And turns out, they're really fun to be around. When he's not playing councilman or acting as Ironwood's mini-me, Cole's creative and excitable and loves to hang out."

Standing up and stretching, you open the window and feel the gentle breeze blow in. Though you quickly shut it as a tail of sand whips you in a sudden gust. Huffing, you drop into your seat again.

"This city is full of dangerous shit. Vacuo. We've been here three days and there's already been eight building collapses and a sandstorm strong enough to knock over the damn Beacon Tower. How people live here, I don't know."

There's a knock at the door.

Yang- Come in!

It opens to show Winter. She's in uniform, with her sword on her hip.

Yang- Hey Winter. How'd it go?

She sighs and slumps onto your bed.

Winter- Despite everything that's happened, Theodore is still arguing against the new leadership.

Yang- Why isn't he just being thrown in jail like Headmaster Lionheart? Didn't he side with Ozpin?

Winter- Unfortunately it was a council vote that had Vacuo side with Vale. And now, we have a member of council who's being stubborn and wanting the headmaster to stay in power.

Yang- Is the General able to get around them?

Winter- Both him and Cole are in a meeting with the Atlas council to think of ideas. Gods, this is so exhausting.

Yang- There isn't anything to do in this damn city. It's all sand and dirt.

Winter- Makes me miss our apartment.

Yang- Same.

She sits up.

Winter- Why don't we do something when we get home? All three of us.

Yang- What are you thinking?

Winter- Moving into a bigger place. I mean, maybe even an actual house?

Yang- Atlas has actual houses? I thought it was all high rises and office buildings?

Winter- That's very humorous, Yang. But yes, there are many houses available in Atlas. Primarily on the outskirts. Not quite the farmlands, but not quite the city either.

Yang- Wow. Like, have you brought this up with Cole? Or is this a spur of the moment feeling?

Winter- I haven't told him yet. And I've been thinking about it for a while. Ever since you moved in. The apartment does get cramped sometimes.

Yang- Ouch.

Winter- No no! That isn't your doing at all, Yang! It's just the reality of it. It was supposed to be a one person apartment with a temporary guest room. But now three of us live in it.

Yang- Don't worry, I get you. So would all of us live in the new house?

Winter- That is the idea, yes.

Silence follows as you think over it.

The three of us living together. I mean, I might get a bigger room. But it feels kinda rushed.

Yang- It's a lot to think about. Got any places you've been scouting out?
