(3rd Person POV)
The clanking of turning gears filled the silence within Ozpin's office. Ozpin walked back to his desk, pouring himself a drink as he watched the Vytal Festival. Currently the Vytal Festival Tournament's roulette system was deciding the next match.
Over the broadcast, Oobleck continued the announcements.
Oobleck: Alright, it's now time to begin the randomization process for our next fight!
Port: It looks like our first contender is... Penny Polendina, from Atlas! And her opponent will be... Pyrrha Nikos, from Beacon!
Ozpin seated himself behind his desk and took a sip from his cup as he stared at the 'randomized' fight to be.
Down in the arena of Amity Colosseum, Pyrrha was still looking hesitant and distracted while Penny politely saluted her opponent.
Penny, with her hands on her hips, exclaimed excitedly.
Penny: Salutations, Pyrrha Nikos! It's an honor to finally meet you!
The troubled Pyrrha didn't respond, looking at her hands as she clenched them in attempted determination.
Penny decidedly didn't notice Pyrrha's reluctance, continuing on.
Penny: This is going to be so much fun!
In the same structure behind closed doors, Ruby was still facing down an up-and-standing Mercury, who was smugly smiling at the younger girl's confusion.
Ruby: Mercury, what are you doing? You were hurt! Why...
She narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
Ruby: What's going on?
Mercury didn't answer, still grinning with malice.
Ruby: Fine. If you're not going to tell me...
She attempted to move around him, but he blocked her path, then did it again when she sidestepped.
Oobleck, over the announcement system, drew Ruby's attention away.
Oobleck: Fighters, are you ready?
Mercury smirked.
Penny beamed widely in anticipation, but Pyrrha was still looking around as if in a daze, though she managed a small scowl at her opponent, her weapons already in hand.
Ironwood calmly sat to observe the fight as Nora and Ren cheered for their teammate. Jaune however watched anxiously as Emerald leaned forward with a glare.
Oobleck: 3, 2, 1... BEGIN!
(Your POV)
(Y/N): What?
You walked over to your armor, taking it off of the rack. You grabbed your scrolls, before compacting the armor and weapons into their smallest forms, putting them away.
Raven: I gave you quite a few options. I'm not here to answer questions.
Raven still stood across from you, standing there, the portal still flared open.
(Y/N): I'm not sure I trust you. You mention my dad and mom and then say no questions.
In the background alarms blared, breaking the silence. It seemed she wouldn't speak on the matter, but you had to try.
Raven: Your mother and father attended Beacon the same year that I did, and I was close to them. I know what you are. I can help you more than they can. I can help you save the things you love.
