Quote: Location: Town Houses: 15 each Houses are cleared individually. Full hunters do have the option of living in a house as opposed to a dorm room, though it is notably less safe to live in the town. Those being promoted to full hunter will need to clear out a house for themselves in order to live there. TALLY:

He stood in the center of town in his new coat, the gun slung over his shoulders as he surveyed the wreckage that spread out in front of him. The town had been somewhat rebuilt since the last time he had been here, and over the past several weeks trainees and hunters alike had been working to clear the area of any remaining Insanity. Now there were still a few houses that needed to be cleared, but at least the majority of the place - including the school - had been worked on.
But Gale was here for an entirely different reason, in spite of "cleaning duty."
"Hunters are permitted their own house in town."
He no longer had to live in the cramped dorm. The idea was somewhat foreign to him, and for a while after returning from his mission Gale hadn't even been sure that he wanted to live in a house. It was not as if he needed much space, after all. He did not have very many belongings, and he did not have a significant other to share the house with.
But it was something different. It was moving forward, just like he had promised himself he would finally do. It had been over six months since the Incident, after all.
It was time to let go.
He moved silently through the town, bypassing many of the larger houses, instead stopping in front of a smaller one. This one was not very large - but, then again, it didn't need to be, with what seemed to be only two bedrooms and two floors. Gale peered cautiously in through the door, pushing it open with his shoulder.
...it was perfect. He pressed his lips together, surveying the place.
What do you think?
<< It's nice. >> came the surprisingly honest reply, Jinhai sounding interested. << I like it a lot. I think, with a bit of sprucing up, it could really suit you. >>
"My thoughts exactly," said Gale aloud - just as there was a wrenching shriek that split the air, sending shivers down his spine. An enormous grey creature, wings flapping, careened into the side of the house, and Gale took several hasty steps backwards, drawing it away.
It did not look as though he could take this one on his own, no matter how hard he tried, and despite the upgraded weapon, Gale pulled out his phone, sending out a few texts to the first few people on his contacts list without really looking at them: Syusaki Meet me in the town, third street to the left. Need backup. LP Meet me in the town, third street to the left. Need backup. Chimarii Meet me in the town, third street to the left. Need backup.

When Wilson received the message, he couldn’t help but note how calm and rational it appeared to be. He had received a few similar texts, but this sounded so ridiculously Gale he just had to crack an amused smile. Shaking his head, he slipped out of bed and headed to the towns. How thoughtful of the fellow death hunter to even give him specifics to where in the town Gale was. It made finding him that much easier.
He raised an eyebrow at the large phoenix. “Just had to find the big ones, didn’t you?” Wilson noted with a grin, echoing Gale’s words from when he had cleared out mobs with Ryan. The man didn’t appear too worried when he summoned his weapon and made sure the mask was snugly fit on his face. “Who else did you call?” Actually, he could hear the footsteps of someone else behind him. That was reassuring to know—assuming it was a hunter and, you know, not another monster. That would be bad.
Both arms were raised and pointed at the large bird, which was starting to become a familiar sight to him—even a bit annoying. “Heads up!” His weapon snickered softly as Wilson released a stream of gas that quickly spread out, billowing around the bird until it squawked and pecked him. Very hard.
Grimacing, he rubbed his head. "Did you call any moon hunters? Some defense would be nice."

Ami would've been there first. She SHOULD'VE been there first. Her darling idol Gale was calling her, and she wasn't there first. She would've berated herself if she wasn't busy focused on the ******** PHOENIX.
She threw Junpei at the bird, missed, desummoned him and returned him to her hand. It was a risky move. Damaging sometimes, but clearly not in this case.
Ami saw Wilson, but chose not to say anything. He was just arriving like her, and didn't look damage. Besides, her focus was more on Gale's beautiful voice. "Gale! Are you okay?!"

Aleister was running to town, somewhere he'd never really been to be honest with himself, he didn't know they had a town. He was counting streets, but somehow got lost on his way to find the others. "Oh great... where am I going?"
<You wanted the third street to the left idiot.> Pookie would've been laughing if there wasn't trouble a foot. <He said he needed back up not lost trainees>
Aleister sighed, "Why are you so grumpy all of a sudden?" He back tracked and finally found the third street to the left. Heading down it he noticed the really big bird. "... how many of these things are there!?"
<I'm grumpy because you always try to run away when someone needs help.> Pookie had a point.
Aleister shook his head, he was going to help someone, pookie should be proud. The blonde trainee took up the blitzball weapon that he'd already summoned and aimed it at the phoenix.

Receiving an urgent text from Gale, Kat snapped her phone shut and moved for the town. She wasn't sure what was going on, but made no attempt to ask. If something was going down, sending him a text could also be bad news for Gale.
Making haste, Kat arrived as soon as she could, allowing Xedis to materialize on arrival. Still unsure of what was happening, the sun hunter glanced about the area before pausing when a loud shriek was hear overhead. "What the hell..?" Looking to the sky, she caught sight of a large gray wing overhead, and quickly took a shot at it. Unfortunately, her reaction time was a little too slow, and she missed entirely.
Cursing her luck, Kat moved to stand beside the group that slowly assembled around Gale. "Hey there!"

The text was stared at. A lot. In fact, he kept checking it to make sure it was from who he thought it was as he made his way to the location. Seriously? Gale needed him? Now tat was funny.
Still, as much as Otto hated the guy, he would come when called. Really the only person he wouldn't go to was Allen.
The small blonde arrived shortly after the others, quickly summoning Tenya and hurling the large boomerang at the bird like creature. It managed to nick it before a mighty wing swung down and knocked the trainee off his feet before he could catch his weapon.

Within a few moments, people began showing up. Gale had not really paid much attention to who he had been texting at the time, slightly preoccupied with the phoenix itself, but he was slightly relieved to hear Wilson's familiar voice calling to him as he stepped up.
"What can I say," said Gale, as he swung the rifle around, firing off several shots. "I like to think big."
There was a flash, and a smear of dark gas from Wilson's weapon spread across the sky towards the creature, which let out an indignant screech. Gale took several steps backwards, his coat curling around his legs, and lifted the gun again.
"Yeah," he replied, as another set of footsteps approached from behind. "I called a few more."
Who exactly those "few more" were, he couldn't say, but the next voice that caught his attention belonged to the girl he had met only a few times before -<< Ami, is it? >> Jinhai murmured in his mind - and then the blonde-headed form of Aleister arrived soon after; then Kat, looking harassed. Gale gave them all a nod in greeting, assured Ami he was, in fact,j just fine, and then finally -
"Ah, Otto," said Gale, in the most pleasant tone he could muster. "A pleasure to see you here, how delightful of you to join us."
How had he managed to text him of all people? He really needed to pay more attention when he had his phone out...
Lifting the rifle, he fired off a few more shots, darting around the side of the phoenix. "Ami," he called, glancing over his shoulder at the moon hunter. "Keep an eye on anyone who might need help.
"Oh, and if you accidentally step on Otto on your way, I don't find that very problematic." [ HP: 46/60 Target: Phoenix Damage: 5 Charge: 1/3

Ami's eyes flicked around the field as she saw more and more hunters show up. She didn't know most of them, but at the moment she didn't need to. The most important thing was that now there were more attackers, and she could at least try to do her job.
She ran back and stood in front of a brown haired girl, one she hadn't met yet, guarding her since it seemed she had a long range weapon.
"Hey Otto, why don't you actually hit the bird a little harder next time?" she taunted from across the way. Maybe he was the type that did better when riled up.

Pretty soon a few other familiar faces arrived and Wilson smiled (not like anyone could see). And unlike some he knew all of the faces. All of them. “Nice to see you guys!”
Wilson shook his head. “As expected of the youngest hunter, always so ambitious. How nice.” He eyed Gale’s coat. It was definitely not his usual intermediate one. He could have wiped a fake tear from his eyes right then and there if he wasn’t wearing a mask and had cannon hands at the moment.
“Stepping on Otto doesn’t sound very beneficial, though.” He eyed the bird overhead before surveying the area around him. Wilson took a few steps back to widen the distance between him and the others. “Alright, heads up again!” hollered the trainee before he fired off another round of gas. The giant phoenix didn’t take too well to the cloud, which was even bigger than the last one. It squawked at Wilson, batting its wings a couple times while it swooped down to claw at him with its talons. He managed to cover his head and grimaced when he heard its claws scratch the metal, but then it decided to push him over with gusts of wind.

"Hah... I got a little lost. I didn't know we had a town." He admitted sheepishly.
Before, turning back to the phoenix, it apparently saw him and as if the death trainee made a good looking supper tried to go after him. "ACK!" He yelped as he jumped back aiming pookie towards the bird to try and ward it off. Of course the death trainee ended up tripping and landing on his rear missing the phoenix all together. Earning a peck on the head from the large bird. "Hey! Stop that!" He scooted back away from the creature.

:Is this what has everyone in such a panic?: I wouldn't say panic, but yes. It would appear that way.
Nodding back to Gale, Kat grinned when another woman, Ami, came to guard her from any attacks that may come her way. "Hey, thanks!" She had no idea who this girl was, but she was grateful for her support. As soon as Xedis had charged for another attack, the sun hunter aimed high and fired two rounds toward the large phoenix as it flew overhead.
She had hit, but it wasn't much. It would take a good charge attack to deal some real damage to this thing--and that was to say if she didn't kill herself in the process. We're in for a challenge..
Scanning the crowd, she noticed a few other hunters there as well. It was shortly after that, that she spotted Wilson among the crowd. Gesturing a quick wave, she returned her full attention to the phoenix. "So, what's the plan then?"

Ami appeared to be defending Kat, which was a good thing - Gale darted around to the other side, the rest of the trainees forming a circle around the screeching - and now very unhappy - phoenix.
"I don't know about ambitious," said Gale, twisting his shoulders as he cast a glance back at Wilson, who was looking at the new coat. Flushing a little, he added - with a roll of his eyes - "but determined might be a better word for it."
<< Or just stubborn as a Jack - >>
Shut it.
"Also I beg to differ," said Gale, as another cloud of smoke emitted from Wilson's arm, followed by a cry of surprise as Aleister was knocked backwards, the phoenix angrily cawing as it flapped its wings.
They still hadn't managed to whittle the creature's strength down much, and everyone was looking a little worse for the wear already. He swung around, the feel of the metal beneath his gloved fingers a reassuring weight as he took aim and fired off several rounds, all within quick succession of each other.
Gale pulled out his phone again. OnionGrump Meet me in the town, third street to the left. Need backup. Random Artist Meet me in the town, third street to the left. Need backup. [ HP: 38/60 Target: Phoenix Damage: 12 Charge: 3/3

Saya rounded the corner, her feet picking up the pace as she heard voices and angry shouts from the road ahead.
"It almost looks like you have a very angry Fearow on your tail." Saya was forced to bring into the conversation, her mind traveling to one of the only older references she knew. But really it did look like a Fearow. Especially that first episode of the Indigo series--An arrow shot at as she rounded the corner, scraping against the spawned monster, without a second look.
Saya was once again reminded by the need to bring more force into her blows. She glanced around, recognizing very little faces in the party that Gale brought together.
No wonder he needed back-up, if the fearow was that big.
