Grimm Alarm!

As Glynda watched the four young ladies settle into the water, her silent fuming at the loss of her solitude was broken as a loud brass note suddenly began blaring from afar.

“Oh, damn!”

“What? What’s happening?” Ruby asked, looking around nervously.

“The town’s being attacked.”

As Gylnda said that, a Nevermore the size of a hang glider flew just over the top of the wall, utterly ignoring the merely agitated huntresses, zeroing in on the panicking villagers further in.

“We have to go!”

Goodwitch jumped out of the water and bounded back towards the lockers with gazelle strides, not waiting for her students to get their feet under them. She pulled the door open and at the last second remembered her key and summoned her towel basket to her with her telekinetic Semblance. Checking the number on her key, she found her locker and fumbled it open, pulling out her crop and letting her clothing tumble into the floor.

Seeing them made her hesitate for the first time. She had dropped her towel in her haste to respond but was now fully aware of the fact that she was utterly naked and soaking wet. She did not relish the thought of charging into battle like this. But wasting time to pull on all her clothing would accomplish nothing but sacrifice civilians for the sake of her modesty. Maybe she should just wrap herself in a fresh towel; she was always pretty poor when it came to hand-to-hand and relied almost exclusively on her Semblemce to fight while she stood firmly stationed on a defensible spot, she could get away with holding onto cover with one hand.

“Ms. Goodwitch what do we do!?”

Oh right, team RWBY were still with her. The four girls were now also scrambling to get into their lockers. Weiss and Ruby were clinging to wet towels, while Yang and Blake had assumedly dropped theirs as well and were completely in the buff. All four girls, even the Schnee heiress, had vastly more mobile and physically involved fighting styles than her, they wouldn't get away with not using both hands to engage.

As Gylnda pondered how to proceed, a crash resounded from the reception area in the other room.
