Beneath Beacon
Jaune had always been a bit of a snoop and explorer in his childhood. His time at Beacon was no different. When he wasn't training, trying to hit on Weiss, or being bullied by Cardin. Jaune was wandering the halls and grounds, and once he found an unsecured way down... the basements of Beacon. Digging into his belt pouches, Jaune pulled his exploration tools. A kinetic-charging flashlight, a glow marker, and a tightly wound hand-sized spool of glowing micro cord. Finding a solid anchor point, he tied off his line and, after a couple of minutes, picked a direction. The travel was easy, but Jaune could tell no one had been down in these corridors for absolutely years. "Mom and Terra would go insane if they saw this much dust." Jaune chuckled to himself as he continued his exploration.
Though he was a little disappointed, it was what Jaune had figured. The place was empty, or at least the first few rooms of the first hallway he chose to explore were. Checking his watch he noticed it was getting late and prepared to start his back track, when he heard something. It sounded like something slick and slimey being peeled away from something just as wet. Panning his light about, he tried to find the source, and then he heard the voice. "Is someone out there?" The voice was soft, definitely feminine, and sounded... hopeful? "Okay, that's just rude. I know you're out there, whoever you are!" the voice was sounding frustrated. "I know someone is out there! Is that you Ozpin?"
Jaune didn't move, still looking about, trying to figure out where the voice was coming from.
"Took you're blooming lovely time coming back, after everything I help you do!"
Jaune then noticed something off. The hallway didn't look right; was it cut off? He was surprised he hadn't noticed the anomaly earlier. Tentatively moving forward, he reached out and touched the wall before him.
"Are you so old you forgot how to enter the chamber you designed? Unbeliveable!"
"Sorry?" Jaune spoke before even thinking he could be making a mistake.
"You're not Ozpin!" the voice chirped. "Someone new!"
"Hi? I'm Jaune. Jaune Arc, and you are?"
"Oh, where are my manners? I am Kaelli." the voice announced. "Pleased to meet you, Jaune. I just love meeting new people!"
"Pleased to meet you as well. Um... where are you?"
"Oh, right! You wouldn't have a clue to open my chamber. If you facing the end of the hallway on your right at 0.75 meters high, you should feel an indentation. Tap on it three times, and then hold your finger there."
"Okay?" Jaune replied as he did as he was instructed. Finding the indentation, he proceeded to tap on it three times and then hold his finger on it. The wall before him split in half horozontally and then retracted into the ceiling and floor. "SHIT!" "I can smell the fresh air! It's been so stuffy in here." Kaelli commented as Jaune looked into the roundish chamber bathed in pinkish-red lights. Stepping forward, he stopped dead in his tracks, utterly unprepared for what he was looking at.
"Hi, Jaune!" Kaelli chirped in a melodic and gleeful voice. "Nice to meet you, and see a new face after all these years."
