"Oh, hush! I care naught for what 'enemies' I make here, as long as my allies remain as powerful as they are!" He said, waving off Marshal and Ash, though momentarily pausing upon Jack's comment. Well then.

"Furthermore, I suggest you take your leave before I- Does anyone smell burning? He asked, glancing back just as a fountain of water spraying across his slightly burning cape. Also his face.

It was at this point that his entourage took notice of his situation and two young assistants ran to him, heels clacking against the pavement. "Sir Reginald, are you-" "Get me a towel, Silica. Now. He spat out, his clothes now seemingly flapping in the wind. That's odd, there wasn't any wind just a moment ago, was there? Matter of fact, it seemed to be only present around him. Either way, his assistants hurried back to the airship in search of a towel.

"Who did this?!" He asked through his teeth, glancing around at the students and pointing to his cape. The anger in the bastard's voice was unmistakable.

Ash, seeing the fire doused, began looking around. "While I didn't see his face, but I do believe someone dressed up like one of your guardsman just ran away and hid.  It might have been them, or they may have been going to get help.  Either or is possible."

Marshal scoffed. For a guy that didn't care what enemies he made, he sure wasn't keeping himself marketable for allies. After this incident, word would surely spread among the first years of the buffoon with the cape who tripped over himself ten seconds into arrival.

"I feel bad for whoever gets stuck with that guy on a team," he muttered to himself.

Jack just did what any sane man would do when the sap's cape caught on fire. He laughed, long and loud, and began walking away. King Nothing's sudden outburst over his ruined clothes was too rich to handle, if he stuck around longer he'd probably bust a gut.

"The hot air coming out of your mouth did it, you twerp!" he called back over his shoulder, waving one hand in a mock farewell salute.

Galileo immediately returned in his regular attire of fun and took Reginald's hand and shook it with a big smile.
"I'm Galileo, pleasure to meet someone who dresses so extravagant! I must be in the presence of a King! Hm! I see you are facing a wardrobe malfunction! Well maybe I can do something about that!" Galileo throws down his suitcase, now filled with rich clothing and many many more and it flips open to reveal the clothing people like commoners can't obviously afford

(Leycil, that is considered meta-gaming, not to mention that earlier, Galileo committed assault, theft, and technically sexual harassment to an innocent guard who was just having another day tending to this rich snobbish kid.)

Reginald took note of what Ash had said, but he didn't have to tell his guards a word. Already they had started searching the area for suspicious individuals. By now, the knocked-out guard had already been found.

Reggie didn't bother responding to the casually dressed man who had decided to take his leave. He cared not for what some poor sod thought of him. He was, however, about to shake Ash's hand in greeting, as the man at least had some semblance of respect, but his hand was soon roughly taken hold of by some androgynous looking bloke in a hat.

Even though his apparel, as strange as it was, indicated that the man was relatively wealthy, Reggie still pulled his hand back as he found his actions to be beyond rude. Good thing, too, as three of Reggie's personal guards had just ran up, pointing rifles at the man.

"Don't move and keep your hands where I can see them!" Commanded one of them. Another turned to face Reginald. "Sir Reginald, one of our guards spotted this man leaving from the same area the guard wandered off to. I had also taken note of the man leaving suspiciously without any orders. We also found one of our guys stripped from his uniform, unconscious. Your orders?"

Reginald glanced momentarily between his guard, the man who had supposedly embarrassed him so and attacked his men at that, and the rest of the students around him. He wanted to see the man humiliated the same way. But he couldn't do something obvious. Not yet.

"Escort him to whoever it was that was in charge at this school. I don't have time to deal with such cretins." The rich brat said, purposefully turning away from them. The three guards moved in to take the androgynous person away, whether willfully or by force.

Reggie turned to Ash once more and shook his hand. "Reginald Royale of the Royale family. I suggest you remember the name."

"Seems like that issue is resolved. Shiroe said, standing up after losing interest in his book. The current events piquing his interest way more. "It would be rude of me to not greet Reggie, even though we never did converse during those family business meetings."

Walking over to Reginald and Ash, Shiroe shot a look at Galileo and wondered what the mischievous boy would do next. If he tried anything further however he was sure it wouldn't end well; Not with all the guards around Reggie.

"Reginald, I believe we are acquainted? Well not us per se but our families have been to several gatherings together. Shiroe said, an extreme politeness contrasting to that of Reggie's arrogant talk. "And also a fellow Atlesian, I see. I do beg your pardon but let me introduce myself as well. Shiroe Pendragon of the Pendragon family. We had to relocate for the meantime and I'll now be schooling here in Beacon instead. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Galileo looked at the rifles pointed at him and tapped them away with his cane. He raised his eyebrow at Reginald before laughing.
"Galileo, remember that too, trust me, most students in ths school would already know the name. Also rifles don't really scare me, I mean I disarmed one guard without anyone noticing until now, what thinks I can't disarm three?" Galileo shots a look at the guards in a sadistif sort of smile before reaching down to his feet and grabbing his suitcase, skates away laughing, he also left a present at their feet that went boom into an explosion of paint.

Galaleo didn't get far before a bat faunus seemingly appeared out of nowhere to block his path. Drevin had been watching the entire arrival from one of his many perches, but at this point it had become clear that Galileo was lacking a sense of decency. Sure, this new guy was haughty, but so far Galileo had done for worse than any bully Drevin had ever seen on Beacon grounds. So now he barred Galileo's way, one short sword extended to each side and a stern expression on his face. He was determined not to let this wrongdoing go without answer.

Graviton didn't like being here, especially with what he chose to wear today. He didn't like being in his combat gear all the time, but he felt so naked without it! A simply pair of pants a loose white shirt would be normal enough, if not for the many leather armor addition, he had made to it. But even past that, Beacon had too many memories of tests and poor excuses for classes. That's not to say he didn't like the idea of Beacon, he just... though maybe they let too many weirdos in. Maybe that was why he was let in.... Nevertheless, if he had a lien for every weird looking kid he'd seen since stepping off the airship to meet with Rose, he would be a millionaire! That was another thing, though, wasn't it? Rose was... Rose. He'd met with her before, or at least spoken with her, but she's always been... Rose. He couldn't say he liked the way she spoke, but he certainly enjoyed the laissez faire approach to life... well... most of her life. He'd heard stories, mostly from the upper staff of the Inquisition about her. About how she could probably wipe the floor with nearly any hunter or huntress, about how she she should be watched carefully. So it was a surprise when he was requested to meet with her. Weird, even. But that didn't really matter, he didn't want to think about the things they talked about. He just wanted to enjoy his day off and get back to Amity to watch the matches and show Fleetwood a thing or two, despite her insisting she "knows that already".

So when Graviton finally made it through the halls of Beacon and out to the airdocks of Beacon where he expected to find Fleetwood and his transport still waiting for him, he was sorely disappointed. Instead he found some giant airship letting one person off, and a bunch of kids flocking around him like he was some hot shit. "Dead within the year." He said mostly to himself as he moved toward one of the free docks to call Fleetwood and ask where she went. He didn't make it all the way to the dock before his interest was peaked, though. Normalcy seems to be a rare commodity at Beacon.

Screaming and a brief glimpse of fire caught his attention and he stopped in his tracks. There stood possibly the most coddled kid he'd seen in his years watching hunters, a few normal kids- well, "normal"- and a man with possibly the most aggravating voice he's ever heard. Said voice-man had apparently lit rich-boy's cape on fire. Graviton let out a heavy sigh. This was his day off! This shouldn't be his problem! ... But here he was, and there were some kids, fucking around. His Sword was still attached to his back, albeit in it's collapsed form. He wasn't gonna lug around the full form all day, every doorway would be a puzzle.

But never mind that, he was sure a glimpse of his sword would be enough to scatter the kids and, if he was lucky, send Rich-boy back home. He popped his neck as he approached this cavalcade of oddities.

"Excuse me!" He announced with his over the top, grandiose voice as he kicked the "present" away, sending it flying off the cliff. "I couldn't help but notice you just lit another student's clothing on fire!" He narrowed his eyes down upon Galileo before raising his hand into the air. Had he not already been  stopped by another student, Galileo would find himself slowly rise up into the air and float back toward Graviton before finally being placed before a very stern faced Inquisitor. He towered over the boy, a short human of only about five feet, give or take a few inches, against the man six feet and five inches tall. He almost seemed like a child. He lowered his voice down to a growl, or as close as he could muster. "Do you care to explain your villainous act?" He crossed his arms over his chest and stared down at Galileo with dagger-like eyes.

Jack heard the events unfolding behind him, paused mid-step, and slowly turned back around on his heels. Where was the popcorn when you needed it? He stood there with his hands in his pockets, perfectly ready to assist Tall and In Charge over there, although by no means did he look like he needed it. Definitely a Hunter, that one. Might as well start making friends.

"Yeah, I mean, I appreciate a great prank as much as the next guy, but wanton destruction of property, when some guy's wearing the property, eeehhhh, that's not my style." he quipped, strolling up beside the Professional.
