It's Lunch at Beacon, while all the students are talking, eating or being noisy the Beacon staff are in their own rec room idly chatting.

Port: And that's how I wrestled an Ursa!

Joshua: Quite the experience it sounds like.

Dr. Oobleck: Mr. Graham I've noticed you are a religious fellow. Mind telling us a bit about it?

Joshua: I'm a Mormon, a believer in our lord and savior Jesus Christ and God.

Ozpin who is in the room stiffens a bit.

Glynda: And who is this God

Joshua: He is Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, he send his only son unto to us to die for our sins. He is ever-forgiving and merciful. We have made and kept covenants with our Lord, God, to honor his laws. In exchange, we are promised eternal salvation after this life.

Ozpin: And what are his laws?

Joshua: They are the ten commandments.
1.Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
2.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
3.Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5.Honour thy father and thy mother.
6.Thou shalt not kill.
7.Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8.Thou shalt not steal
9.Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10.Thou shalt not covet.”

Stacy: So in short be a good person.

Joshua: Correct. I know most of you might find religion pointless, but for me it provides comfort in dark times. Now I must return to my duty of supervising team RWBY  setting up. I shall see you all at tonight's dance.

With RWBY

Weiss: (smiling) I need you to pick a tablecloth. (slides two squares over to Ruby, both seeming to be similar shades of white)

Ruby: (confused) Aren't they both the same?

Weiss: (sighs in frustration) I don't even know why I asked!

Weiss walks out as Yang comes in carrying a massive sound speaker on her shoulder, which bounces her sister and the table she's moping on again to jump in the air when she drops it on the ground.

Yang:  So, have you picked out a dress yet?

Ruby: What's the point? Who cares about the dance if Blake isn't going?

Yang: Oh, don't worry; she's going.  Weiss! I thought we agreed: No doilies!

Weiss: (walks up to Yang, pointing in her face) If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines!

The girls are interrupted by the sound of doors opening.

Neptune: (walking in with Sun) Your dance is gonna have fog machines?

Weiss: We were thinking about it...

Neptune: That's pretty cool.

Sun: (coming into the scene, acting suave to Weiss' ire) You ladies all excited for dress-up?

Ruby: Pfft... Yeah, right!

Yang: Laugh all you want. I'll be turning heads tomorrow night!

Weiss: (addressing Sun and Neptune) What are you two wearing?

Sun: Uuhhh... this? (gestures to his current shirtless outfit)

Joshua appears behind Sun

Joshua: No. You are going to wear a proper shirt.

Everyone jumps at the new voice

Neptune:  Ignore him for he knows not what he says.

Joshua: Clearly.
