"So, today's the day. I'm here in Vale again, waiting for Weiss and Yang and the others. Gods this is going to suck. Doesn't help that I'm tired and cold."
"Had to come in a couple hours earlier than usual, just for the occasion. Might have to look into those energy drinks Tintin mentioned."
Taking a bite of your breakfast and sighing, you roll your head around on your shoulders then look back down at the journal.
"In other news, I've been saving up a bit of money. Sure, the repair for the post office did a bit of damage to my account, but it was definitely worth it. Gotta turn that place into a mini home when I work there. That's what the others do, anyway."
"Nix pointed out a couple of the empty houses in town. They're SUPER cheap, probably due to having no furnishings and resistant paint coats. Bit of work, if I do manage to buy one. Which that alone will probably take about another six to eight months."
Yang- Whatcha writing, postie?
Jolting in fright, you look up and see the blonde haired brawler, grinning and peering down at your journal.
John- Oh, uh, just general day-to-day stuff, y'know?
Closing the journal and putting it into your satchel, she sits down beside you.
John- So where are the others?
Yang- Weiss is just grabbing a coffee to-go, she'll be here in a sec. Cardin's not bringing his team, which I can't complain about. And the guys, they're gonna be a few minutes.
John- 'Kay. I've only got like an hour and a half for this, I hope you know.
Yang- Hey, I know. We've all got stuff to do. Weiss and I have class, while the other two have... whatever the hell they do these days.
John- And what about Juniper?
Yang- Oh, right. Just walking up now.
She nods towards the trio, and you rest your eyes upon them.
John- Right. How'd you know this place? I never took you for one to enjoy coffee shops?
Yang- Blame Weiss, she got me hooked on the awesome mochas they do here.
John- Then why's Weiss grabbing a to-go coffee from someplace else?
Yang- Because she's not exactly wanting to hang around here for longer than we need to.
John- Ah, yeah, fair enough.
Yang- Yeah... hey guys, sit down.
Your old team sits down on the opposite side of the large outdoor table, and you take another sip of your coffee.
Nora- So um... Jaune...... you look good.
Pyrrha- What's the uniform for, might I-
John- Mailman.
Pyrrha- Ah.
Nora- Mailman? Sounds kinda boring.
Ren- Nora.
Nora- ... Sorry.
This is going to be incredibly awkward.
Cardin- Well well.
You stand as Cardin walks up, and you actually shake his hand.
Cardin- Good to see you're okay, Jauney boy.
John- Thanks, Cardin. Good to see you too. Have a sit.
He does so, and you spot Weiss walking up. Unfortunately, a pouting Ruby and Blake are trailing behind her.
