Meanwhile, Lilian serruptitiously expands each overlay to its first level and flicks through it. 

Schnee dust company heiress? Daughter of one of the founders of the White Fang? Sable sure does meet some interesting people. She guesses that's Huntresses for you.

Sable grins and leads the way to the group of three teams. "Everyone, meet Violet Morning-Glory. Violet, meet teams RWBY, JSMN, and JNPR. She's still reeling a bit, so try not to overwhelm her with too many questions at once."

Everyone waves and variously says hi.

Sable points out the open spot next to Maya. "We'll sit there, but we need food first." And she leads the way to the counter to collect trays and load them down with food. There are lots of options: salads, sausages, hot dogs, pizza, corn dogs, cornbread, chicken tenders, fries, brownies, and a few more options besides.

She has literally died and gone to heaven.

Whoa hold up what's with that thought. This isn't a storm giants thing is it?

No, she just means... The food is really good. And it's on top of... mysterious powers, a seat at Beacon, a whole tide of welcoming presents...

You're staring at the food, girls.

Yeah, uh, she's going to take a little of everything except maybe the salad.

The floating windows are still there and it feels kind of surreal. 

We need to go sit down. Now. And have less things happen to us. 

December kind of dazedly follows Lily's instructions.

Sable notices the slight dazedness and helps make sure the girls make it back to the seat okay.

December settles in her seat and looks around at the teams.

Okay, the popup nametags are useful but they're not helping her feel okay right now. She's just gonna quietly dismiss them. 

"Give me a minute and let me focus on my food, please," she says.

Everyone nods and eats, and conversations pick back up ambiently.

"The funniest bit," Yang notes a few seats down, "is that when we're leaving detention, after Cardin rushes out, Port raises one eyebrow at me and says he's partial to green over blue."

Weiss sporfles despite herself.

Neo leans back to catch a grape on a much higher ballistic arc.

All in all, people just continue with the business of eating lunch.

Okay, she can do this. 

Corn dog. Corn dog sounds like a good start. It's been forever since she's had a corn dog. 

... It's just a cafeteria. 

Yeah, you can do this. It's just food.

You know, this is a pretty good corn dog. 

... gradually they loosen up a bit. Not enough to want the floating nametags back but enough to try and say something. 

"So, uh, hi, I'm Violet." She looks around at the table. "Jade, Maya, Sable, Neopolitan?" 

Neo waves and nods, them catches another grape. Nom.

Maya nods, a sandwich bite in her mouth just then.

Jade nods as well. "That's us. Still reeling from all the changes?"

"It has been a lot really fast, yeah." Violet takes another bite of her corndog. "Lots of new people, both inside the head and outside, weird soul effects, instant transition, becoming a Huntress trainee..."

"Oh?", Maya asks. "Sable hadn't mentioned weird soul effects."
