NEWSFLASH: I am converting this to a blanket containment unit for random snippets of story that I'm working on. Most likely, none of these will appear in their respective stories, fulfilling their roles as little teaser trailers of a sort until I can actually start posting chapters in earnest for them. While it will be held in a nominal state of completion, I will be adding segments over time.

So, with the change of status and name, I add another morsel, this time for the RWBY story. Plot is still very much in prototype stage at this point.

Summer tapped her foot against the leg of the table, making it twitch infinitesimally from the repetitious impacts. Raven finally put her book down and fixed a stare on STRQ's team leader.

"Is that necessary?" she asked, level and cool.

"It's just exciting, that's all," Summer sighed. "All these people from the four kingdoms have been coming in all day, and we're stuck in the library."

"You could go off and find the rest of the team. No one is forcing you to stay with me."

"Where's Qrow and Tai, anyway?"

"Knowing both of them, probably-"

"I'm telling you," a voice cut, "It's this way."

Summer looked over to the disturbance. Even Raven seemed curious, leaning over to see.

Two Atlesian officers walked by, rolling heel to toe and in step with the other, even though one was horrendously stiff in posture and the other was far more relaxed, arms crossed behind her head.

The first was a tall, muscular blond, blue eyes of a deep, crushing blue of the ocean. A massive, black monstrosity sat on his back, crisscrossed with golden lines that glowed in the lower lights of the library.

His partner was considerably shorter, if only by comparison, about at a height with Raven. Lavender hair was tied in a bun that may have been a smidge too large for regulations, and vibrant green eyes twinkled playfully as she surveyed the room, settling on the girls.

"Hiya, kiddos!" she sounded off, voice carrying farther than intended.

"This is a library, Prowse," the man chided. "Show some discretion."

"Hi, I'm Summer Rose." She turned and pulled Raven to her feet. "And this is my teammate, Raven Branwen."

"Hello," the quiet girl said, brusque as always.

"Jolanka Prowse," the woman said, offering a hand, which Summer readily shook, "Atlesian Specialist."

"Captain Arc," the man said, inclining his head slightly.

"Oh, come on, Sol. They're civilians. You do remember what those are, yes?"

Arc scoffed. "Are we not representing our school? With all these impressionable students…"

"Yeah, yeah. Sheesh. Anyhow, we're here mostly to escort the Atlas students and generally keep them out of trouble.

"Are you competing in the Vytal Festival tournaments?" Summer asked.

"Is that supposed to be flattery?" Jolanka then waved away with a short laugh. "Nah, that was years ago for us. We're chaperones this time around."

"Speaking of which, we should probably get back to them."

"Lyn and Jim can handle them for an hour. I want to finish looking around." The specialist waved at the two students. "It was a pleasure meeting you both."

"Enjoy your stay at Beacon!" Summer hollered after them.

"Interesting kids," Prowse mused aloud as they left the library.

Sol's eyes flicked over to his counterpart. "And yet you're nervous."

"Let's just say that I'm not wanting to get into a staring contest with that Summer girl. Ever."

A/N: A reminder that this will be an alternate universe. One element present that has very little canon detail to work off of is Jaune's father, presented here as Solaire Arc, and yes, I named him after Sun-Bro from Dark Souls. His affiliation with Atlas will be explained later.

Finally, Jolanka's last comment should be indicative enough for her identity.
