Noire was the first to wake up and was quite confused when she did. The first thing she saw was a bed hanging above her face. While it's true that she didn't remember much of last night, she didn't think a room like this existed at Planeptune's Basilicom. Her head was still pounding and she had an urge to go find Neptune for some reason. It's not like she was worried about her or anything! She just needed to yell at her for convincing all the CPUs to stay up that late.

Rolling over on the bed, Noire got a glimpse of the other occupants of the room. In the bed across from her lay a girl not unlike herself. Her jet black hair cascaded over her back and shoulders. She wore a black robe and what appeared to be a bow atop her head. However upon closer inspection, they looked to be cat ears that actually twitched! Maybe she took cosplay very seriously.

At first Noire thought the girl in the upper bed was Vert. She had a similar voluptuous figure and her hair was a bright yellow. She wore a orange tanktop and black shorts and looked to be in a very deep sleep. Something started to seem off now. The Basilicom's rooms weren't open to the public with the exception of those invited by the CPUs and during times of severe conflict. Noire had never met these people before but maybe they were friends of Neptune's?

In any case she needed to get her bearings and rolled out of bed. The room was fairly plain with the exception of some sparse decorations. There was a large bookshelf that housed the novels that weren't currently busy holding up one of the beds. A framed poster of a group of men hung on one of the walls. Noire, the pop culture addict, had never heard of the 'Achieve-Men.' Maybe they were an indie band? The piece of art on the opposite wall was quite beautiful with its depiction of a red forest. It was a serene piece that looked like something out of Blanc's room. Despite being in the Basilicom, she felt quite alien here.

She was about to leave before she realized that she never saw who was in the bed above her. Standing on her toes, her heart skipped a beat when her eyes spotted the lavender chaos that was Neptune's hair. She looked so cute laying there, Noire had half a mind to join her. 'N-no that would never work' she thought to herself. She waited for her blush to die down and started for the door but only made it halfway before a voice stopped her. "Weiss what are you doing up so..." Noire turned around and found found herself transfixed by the amber eyes of the raven haired girl.

"Yang get up." Blake was now fully alert after seeing this intruder. "Five more minutes." came the muffled reply. Blake broke eye contact with the stranger to glance at Ruby's bed and saw it was occupied by another person she'd never seen before. "Ruby and Weiss are gone and there are two strangers here." Blake's words were sharp and insistent as she glared back at the girl with the twintails.

Yang rolled out of bed and landed on one knee in next to her. Cracking a slight smirk, Blake stood and hardened her gaze. "Now why don't you tell us who you are and what you did with our teamates."

The girl had been frozen for during this exchange but she finally spoke. "Why don't I give you my name and then you tell me yours?"

This girl had some attitude then. Nothing Blake wasn't used to from dealing with a certain special snowflake. As Blake was about to open her mouth, Yang spoke for her instead. "I'm Yang, this is my partner Blake."

"I just needed your names, I didn't need your... status." The girl sounded nonplussed.

Blake's eyes went wide. "Nonono wait! We're not partners like that!" Blake's usual facade had been broken and she was quickly trying to return to seriousness. "We're partners on our team." She clarified.

"Oookay then." The intruder just shook her head. "Well at any rate my name is Noire."

"So then Noire, what are you doing here?" Blake put as much questioning into her voice as she could.

Noire seemed confused now. "Wait, I'm not at the Basilicom?"

"What's a Basilicom?" Blake had never heard of whatever that was. Was this girl alright?

"Wait where am I?!" Noire eyes had widened in shock.

"Relax, you're at Beacon Academy. It's one of the safest places in Remnant." Yang chimed in with a reassuring voice.

"Whas with all the yelling" The lavender themed girl half-slurred as she quite literally fell off of her bed. "Whaaa, I don't remember having bunkbeds." She seemed as confused as the rest of them.

"Neptune do you remember anything from last night?" Noire asked half-embarrassed.

"Nope. It got really fuzzy after Vert suggested we marathon that whole series. Ugh I don't think I'll ever play another Circle game again."

Noire sighed heavily. "So where did you say we are?"

"Beacon Academy. Best combat school in all of Remnant." Yang repeated

"Remnant?" The purple girl burst in. "What's that?"

Blake and Yang looked on incredulously. "It's... the planet we live on."

Noire processed this for a few seconds and then walked back to Weiss's bed. "Not again."

"What's up Noire?" Neptune looked around. "Wait this doesn't look like my room."

"We got transported to another dimension. Again." Noire said with defeat.

For the first time in her life, Blake didn't have a single word to react with.
