Dolan's day off

With the first day of Beacon starting Dolan had nothing really to do since classes technically won't officially start until the students' applicants who pass the 'Initiation'. A trial designed to test the student applicants before they can officially enter Beacon and spend the next four years learning to become official Huntsman or Huntresses. So, with that in mind, he decides to one of his favorite places to eat, D.Q. (Dusty Queen) and grab a bite to eat. They recently finished installing an outdoor area and it was such a nice warm day too, perfect for something cold.

Employee: Hello what can I get you?

He looks at the female employee with a flirtatious smile.

Dolan: Oh, I don't know...perhaps something cold and sweet maybe? -Smiling with an eyebrow raised.

Employee: Right away sir!

The lady takes her to leave to prepare his order. Dolan was a regular here and most of all the employees knew him so they already knew on warm days like this he always comes to order a sundae. While waiting he decides to pull out his scroll and watch VNN. Hell, the only reason he watches the news was because of their news reporter Lisa Lavender. If by some chance it was anyone else like a dude Dolan would proceed to just turn that shit off out of uninterest.

Dolan: Well, let's see what's on today's agenda.

Reporter: The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department.

Dolan: (So that they can proceed to be fuck it up for your benefit!)

Reporter: Back to you Lisa!

Dolan: Ah and now the news can start. hurray!

Lisa: Thank you, Cyril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights protest turned dark when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony. The once peaceful organization has now disrupted an SDC baggage train that was on route to supply 'Dust' to the kingdom's border patrol, the train was detonated with its entire shipment completely stolen. After the break, we will be interviewing some of the survivors who were on board during the heist.

Dolan: *Sigh*

Hearing this only managed to ruin Dolan's mood. Unlike some people, he didn't have anything against the Faunus and felt that what they were going through wasn't fair. In his travels to some of the other kingdoms during some missions, he'd seen more than his fair share of the Faunus being treated harshly with many of those instances were the result of humans believing that they were freaks or because they believed that they might be working for the White Fang causing trouble. It's true not all Faunus were good but ostracizing the ones that were seemed to piss him.

Dolan: If it wasn't for those fuckers within their organization who think the best way towards Faunus Rights is through terrorism, then maybe some humans wouldn't give their fellow Faunus such bad reputations in the first place?

Placing his scroll back in his pocket he closes his eyes and leans his head back in his chair to take in the sun. As this was happening, he hears the clacking of heels coming in his direction but it was opposite from where the employee came from so it couldn't be his order. Then the footsteps stopped with someone standing directly in front of his rays opting for Dolan to open his eyes. When he opened them, he immediately recognized the person standing behind him.

The person standing directly in the path of the light with an evil smile on their face was none other than Torchwick's partner in crime, Neapolitan or Neo as he calls her. Taking a moment to ponder this development before proceeding to smile back at her.

Dolan: (I know I said something cold and sweet but I don't think this is what I had in mind? Oh well fuck it!)

Dolan: Why hello Neo! Do you have the day off as well?

Her evil smile fades and changes into an innocently pleasant smile with a nod to signify her answer. Dolan raised and turned around so that he could properly communicate with his new arrival. He first met Neo here at the D.Q. after he arrested Roman for the first time. At first, she was hostile toward him after sending her boss to jail but he managed to make her agree to a ceasefire while here so that they both could enjoy their meals with relative peace. When Dolan first started to talk to Neo, he soon learned that she was mute and couldn't speak. However, she would convey her words through texts from her scroll, miming or even just her body language alone. After their discussion, he decided to do the adorable mute a solid by telling her where and when to free Torchwick under the condition that this stays between the two of them and that she doesn't reveal to Roman how she managed to find him to which Neo agreed. Ever since then the two would meet here whenever to peacefully chow down and chat.

Dolan: So how are you doing, well, I hope?

She pulls out her scroll and starts typing away.

Neo: "Fine to some extent".

Dolan: Something wrong?

Neo: "Can't say, work-related".

If there was one thing that was never to be discussed it was about their line of work as they both agreed to never disclose that information so Dolan did not push the issue any further. Just then the employee arrived with a bowl containing Dolan's sundae and placed it on the table.

Employee: Sorry for the wait, here's your sundae please enjoy!

Dolan: Thank you! -Handing her some Lien with any extra tip for her.

Upon seeing this Neo's stomach started to growl causing her to get flustered. Unfortunately, as she was looking into her wallet, she soon realized that she didn't have any Lien on her.

Dolan: Neo did you forget to bring money~? Do you want some of my ice cream~! -Smirking with delight.

Neo began to pout and shook her head. She absolutely hated when Dolan teased her like this but at the same time couldn't deny that she could go for some of that ice cream so with a sigh she gives in and looks at Dolan giving him the sad puppy dog eyes in hopes he'll show her some mercy.

Dolan: Well...alright you can have my ice cream!

Neo jumps for joy and hugs Dolan before snatching the spoon out of his hands to start eating the ice cream.

Dolan: (She is so lucky she's fucking adorable.)

Just then Dolan's scroll starts to ring. When he pulls it out, he sees that the caller is Ozpin.

Dolan: (What could he want?)

Dolan: Hello?

Ozpin: Dolan I need you to go to the emerald forest immediately!

Dolan: What for? Initiation doesn't start until tomorrow?

Ozpin: We've spotted an Enmity on the cameras! It's too close to the testing area and we can't risk any of the applicants running into it during the test! Meet me at the Beacon Cliff!

Dolan: Understood I'll be there shortly.

Dolan gets up from his seat causing Neo to look up from the sundae questioning what's going on?

Dolan: Sorry Neo but I gotta run. I hope you enjoy the sundae, later.

As he walks away Neo looks back at the sundae feeling a little bit guilty that he didn't get to have a bite of it. Hopefully, the next time she sees him she'll have a chance to pay him back for his generosity.

-30 minutes later-

Dolan arrives at the cliff which was used as a launching pad for those participating in cadet trials. Not only is Ozpin there but his aunt as well.

Dolan: Is that piece of shit still there?

Glynda: Language.

Dolan: Sorry my mistake...*ahem* Is that 'furry' piece of shit still there?

Glynda: I swear sometimes I wonder why I even bother.

Dolan: The only reason you bother is that you care~. By the way Aunty Glynda if your here whos the one giving the tour for the kids?

Glynda: Professor Port is seeing to it at the moment.

Dolan: May the Gods have mercy on those poor, poor souls.

Ozpin: Focus Dolan there's no time to waste you need to eliminate the Enmity before we can proceed with the trial for tomorrow.

Dolan: Yeah, I get it! Just point me in the direction so I can do my thing.

Ozpin sends the information of the Grimm's last known location to Dolan's scroll before walking over to one of the metal pads.

Dolan: Care to give me a boost?

Glynda: With pleasure.

Just as Glynda pressed the button on her pad the panel under Dolan activated causing him to be jettisoned into the air. Dolan often wondered why the fuck Ozpin thought shooting kids off a cliff was a good idea but hey their huntsman they should be able to handle something as trivial as falling hundreds of feet to the ground below. Assuming they have a landing strategy that is?

Jaune: *Achoo*

Just as Dolan was nearing the ground, he uses his aura to materialize strings of hardened energy to wrap around a nearby tree before releasing it just as he's nearing the ground and flipping around in the air until landing perfectly on his feet like a gymnast. He then began to serve his surroundings before spotting something gleaming in one of the trees which upon closer inspection was one of the cameras scattered throughout the testing area. Seeing that the camera was activated Dolan decides to blow a kiss into its direction knowing full well who was on the other end of it. With that out of the way Dolan slowly starts to walk out of view to begin the 'hunt'.

Meanwhile, Glynda is looking through the screen watching as her loveable idiot of a nephew disappears off the camera.

Glynda: ...

Ozpin: He'll be fine Glynda. There's no need to worry.

Glynda: It's not him I'm worried for. Just the Grimm who'll be facing him. -She says with a smile.
