Weiss
: Professor Oobleck?

Oobleck began talking fast, per the norm, as he paces in front of you and the other students.

Oobleck: Yes, I'm afraid those bags won't be necessary, students, 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 inhabitable locations we may stumble upon. I packed all of our essentials myself, plotted our air course, and readied the airship. And...

He zooms up right to Weiss' face as to clarify something.

Oobleck: It's Doctor Oobleck. I didn't earn the PhD for fun, thank you very much!

Sky: A Doctor of Philosophy... No surprises there, doctor.

Weiss looks over at Blake, who is equally disturbed.

Weiss: Uh...

Oobleck: Come now, children; according to my schedule, we are already three minutes behind!

Then, he pauses slightly as an afterthought to clarify:

Oobleck: ...schedule!

With that, he zips off to the airship docked farther ahead in a second, leaving a small trail of dust on their wake.

You: Ugh... I feel like I cursed ourselves when I said this would be easy. But Sky looks happy that we'll be going with Oobleck.

Sky: Why wouldn't I?

You: Aaaand.... now you're just weirding me out.

Weiss: So it would seem....

Ruby holds up a positive and upbeat demeanor before suddenly becoming as depressed as you and her team halfway through.

Ruby: Well, alright, then! Looks like we're going to save the world with Doctor Oooobleck- okay yeah when you say it out loud it sounds worse.

??: Save the world?

You and the others turned around to see Nora, the other half of your team, and the rest of Team JNPR approaching towards you.

Nora: You're going on world-saving missions without us? I'm hurt... sad! Maybe a little hungry?

As if on cue, a growling sound can be heard from Nora's stomach much to Claire's surprise.

Nora: That last one's not your fault, though, Ren...

Ren, for his part, simply crosses his arms and turns away, as Tealle giggles at them.

Jaune: Sounds exciting. Where ya going?

Ruby: Oh, just outside the kingdom...

Nora: Hey! So are we!

Pyrrha: Ren, Tealle, and Nora wanted to shadow the sheriff of a nearby village.

Ren: We set out tomorrow.

Tealle: Oh, I can't wait!

???: Then you can party with us tonight!

Out of nowhere, Neptune and Sun joined you and the others as he continued talking.

Neptune: We're shadowing a crime specialist. All inner-city detective stuff. We get junior badges.

Sky: So, they're giving detective badges to a felon and his friend? I don't see the sense there.
