Landing at Atlas academy was much less rocky than what you expected, all it took was some railings and only Narci fell on her rear. A clear, perfect landing.
As the doors open, the first thing that hits you is the cold.
“Didn’t I tell you to bring something warm?” Coco looks merely chilly in her fashionable jacket.
“I have a scarf.”
“You always have a scarf.”
“F-fuck this weather!” You shiver.
“Y-y-yeah m-man!” Sun is worse off, as his chest is fully exposed.
“Idiot, just bottom up your shirt.”
“I-I-I a-a-ain’t g-got a-a-any left, m-m-man.”
“I don’t have any warm clothes either.”
“Oh…” Coco looks to the side while mentally kicking herself.
Cold weather is better in the mind of the standard man, since he can afford to remain warm with as many layers of clothes needed, while in the hot he has to bear the heat.
You and Sun are below the standard.
“Don’t be weak, Vacuans!” Charlie declares. “And don’t feel bad Coco, the real reason they’re like that is because they’re used to Vacuo.”
“Traitor!” you accuse.
“In that case, suck it up.”
“But what if I get sick?”
“Use your Aura and you won’t.”
“Obviously, still doesn’t stop the feeling.”
“Then you’ve got nothing to worry about.” Coco gives you a playful slap in the shoulder. “Clean bill of health.” She walks down the ramp.
“Fuckin’ hate cold.” You mumble as you follow.
Clover doesn’t follow you further than the ramp. “Unfortunately, I have other business to attend to at the moment, so you’ll be guided by Ironwood’s secretary and a personal two man - well, ‘man’ - escort.” Two female soldiers walk alongside you. “We chose these rookies since some of you have made strong connections already.” Clover winks.
“Ugh,” you say. “Not my type.”
“Excuse you?!” Emerald is not amused.
Clover bellows a laugh. “Tale as old as time, it’s been a pleasure. Stay safe out there.” And he walks back to the ship before it takes off again.
Before you can even think of exploring the place on your own, a lady approaches your group. “Good morning students.”
“You must be Irondude’s secretary!” Sun says.
The woman closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. “I’m assuming Specialist Ebi told you that. My name is Winter Schnee, a Specialist under General Ironwood’s wing. Not ‘Irondude’.”
“We need to meet with the general.” You don’t put as much emphasis on the title.
“Of course, however, let us first go on a small tour of the school.” Winter smiles.
Looks like she has the same orders as Clover, will you give her the same treatment?
>”We’d rather see Ironwood first.” You have better things to do, such as meeting Isaac again.
>”Okay, but make it quick.” A look can’t hurt and it’ll make the girl feel better. She seems green.
>”Sure.” The school seems interesting, you can’t deny it.
