The interest in the team specialization was much more then he actually thought, and he carefully adjusted his budget to accommodate training more hunters then he thought. It wasn't a bad thing, and Dakota found himself in a sort of giddiness. With this many hunters, and with the training, he could coordinate multiple teams and not restrict them to retrieval of one specific thing at a time.
He ran over the name, noting the moon ones and then the others and smiled. This group looked good. Solid.
He spent the next week prepping for the first part of the training, and though he knew hunters were still recovering from their adventure with the ancients (much like himself), now was the time for actions. The longer he sat waiting, the less likely he'd be able to do anything good with his specialization.
After he set up everything large table with the runic items he had paid for. Headsets, bandages, barrier daggers ect.), like he had done for Kat, Ryan, Saya and Wilson, he leaned on it and pulled out his phone. He sent a text message to the interested parties, closing the phone and pocketing it. Once they all showed up (whoever was still willing), He'd brief them and then get on with training! Ah he was so excited!

Text Message to Hunters: If you're still interested in being part of the search and rescue team, please come down to Training field B, Close to the Moon Lounge area! Look for the tall, dark handsome Moon hunter. ;'DDD

WELCOME HUNTERS:
HI! This is a little late going but I've generated enough interest and hunters to not only train one but two teams! Just to recap, The next following rps are intended to train your hunters in the basic skills required for search and rescue. Once we finish, You're officially part of a search and rescue team and can be called out on missions that require such skills! (There is a plot at hand for rescuing kidnapped hunters from horseman as well!)
This thread is mainly for questions, meeting and greeting and getting the IC rundown of what your hunter looks forward too. If you have OOC questions, My aim is Nyxtsuki1232. Feel free to engage Dakota in anything your hunter needs to know! Just quote Nyxtsuki Moon! I hope you guys enjoy.

Dylon was there, bright eyed and busy tailed. He waved to his Moon senpai, a much taller and darker man than he. "Hiya!" The swimmer greeted with exuberance.
Text to Dakota: I am looking at a tall, dark and handsome moon. I didn't realize how good I looked today.
Marcus took a few seconds to admire himself after sassing his moonbro.
Scar issues or not he still could be, well, Marcus.

He wasn't sure about the tall. Or the dark. Or the handsome part of that text. But one thing was for sure Zascha made his was to the indicated meeting place. Not knowing what to entirely expect, except perhaps a good learning experience.
With a short, single wave of his hand he greeted the few that were already there.

Molly arrived, of course, she had signed up for it after all and it was Dakota in charge! Plus, it really was a good specialization, in her opinion, so anything she could do to help was great! She hoped.
Regardless, she appeared with a large plate of--
"I have cupcakes!" She announced. "Please help yourself!" The Mist trainee beamed. Like this was a kids soccer game or something...

"Don't mind if I do," Roland added as he stepped behind Molly reaching aroudn to snag a cupcake. "You really do spoil us Molly." He gave her a pat on the shoulder before taking the time to savor his delicious cupcake before waving to Dakota with a thumbs up.
He couldn't recall the last time they had a big training seminar like this, but it soudned like a great idea all the same.

Zascha's head nearly did a full 360. Cupcakes was the only thing he heard and there was a lady there with a big plate of them. And they could have some? He could have wept they looked too delicious to eat.
Sliiiiiding over he grabbed one off the plate with a large grin. "Why thank you." He spit the thank you out quickly wbile whipping the wrapper off and shoving the cupcake into his mouth.
Heeaaaven~

Finn had spent a while simply staring at the text, because the general overall tone of it seemed to indicate that this was some kind of choice that Finn was getting to make for himself, which was as far from the truth as possible. He didn't really know how the Moon Hunter had found him after the whole tower fiasco, because honestly without desert gear and goggles how was he even recognizable? Was it the one eye thing? God damn this ******** place to hell.
But it didn't really matter now. He had been found, and he had been roped into/commanded/ordered with no uncertain terms, to join this little assembly of trainees and hunters alike, because he was a Moonbro, whatever the ******** that meant.
Finn could only mentally sigh as he pocketed his cell phone without giving a reply. Heading to the training field as told, he stopped when he got there, looked around, and then made his way briskly to where Dakota stood.
"So I was told I was meant to find some tall, dark and handsome moon hunter, and I don't see any of those here. In fact, the closest thing to that description that I see hanging around here is some pathetic a*****e that seems to enjoy throwing his weight around to force unwilling participants to join his cause, so does that mean I can leave?" He said on arrival, giving the man one of his most winning, expressionless smiles.
Dakota grinned as he saw hunters joining! There was still a couple missing, so he waited a bit before starting, instead moving around to introduce to the ones he didn't know. Starting with the new moon bro, Zascha.
"Molly makes the best cupcakes." Dakota grinned as he snagged one, "Make sure to eat breakfast when she is around too, she's got a thing about it. Names Dakota." He reached over to pat the man on the back. "I look forward to training you." his gaze landed on Roland and cocked his head before also moving to pat Roland on the back. "And you as well mysterious member of mist who is obviously not female and in my training seminar."
Marcus's text was annoyed because the man would join them when he stopped primping himself like the weirdo vampire moonbro he was now.
Dylon got a salute, "Good to see you Dylon." Dakota grinned before turning his attention to Finn. Who was so angry, so very angry. HE JUST KEPT GRINNING AT FINN.
"Hi Finn! It's good to see you too! I am so excited you are here to do training, to become part of the moonbro team." Dakota went over to the man, wrapped him in a hug and patted his bottom gently, "It's okay Finn, it's okay. Want my cupcake?" He held out one of the cupcakes Molly made, "Molly made them." He then gestured to the redhead so that Finn understood that if he did not eat Dakota's BFF cupcakes, there would be more hell then this training for Finn too pay.
It was said with a ******** confident sass of a smile.

Marcus would have just arrived normally. Back in the day. Now? Now Marcus was just going to annoy his best friend because he could. And he probably took his sandwich again. It was always Dakota.
Dressed in his usual, the new gloves and glasses included, Marcus walked up behind his fellow moon hunter, a pat to the shoulder including an 'accidental brush to Dakota's neck. "Food's good but I could go for something to drink." He grinned.
"Can confirm, Molly is top tier cook and she spoils us," he aimed this at Zascha as a follow up to Dakota's comment on Molly. When Dakota moved to him he took a healthy bite of his cupcake nodding his head.
"Roland Taft, Ro for short, Candace taught me.... pretty much how not to suck and die when it comes to being a hunter. I caught wind of this and decided to poke in, I think she'd approve of it." He took another bite of the cupcake, "Plus Molly brought cupcakes. Totally worth it."
For a moment he looked at Finn, remembered Cass face first in the pool of liquid, then remembered Caelius melting Finn's eye out.
Yup. If there was one thing that could spoil a Molly cupcake it was the mental image of Caelius torturing a trainee not two desks away from you in a classroom.
He still finished the cupcake anyway.

Sherry arrived, a little quietly, and she busied herself by looking over the things on the table.
This would be good for her, right? This search and rescue stuff. Of course it would be. Fun and helpful and all that good stuff.
Besides. She might learn some other nifty survival tricks.
So, she stood there, with a smiled, making mental notes of things.

Jake was there too, mostly because Sherry was. But also because this could help him for future missions. Not that... pretty much every mission went to hell anyways.

When Hanna heard that there was some extracurricular training going on, she was on it in a flash. Hanna might not be in school anymore, but her overachieving tendencies chased her from one life into this one. There was a reason Hermione Granger was sort of her spirit animal. Pants, shirt, and shoes went on in a flash, her hair still wet from a shower, and the Death trainee hightailed it over to meet up.
Search and rescue? Sounded like some useful knowledge to her.
Arriving just as Dakota began holding out cupcakes to some other hunters, Hanna kept to the side, appraising the dark-haired hunter. She recognized a few of them -- Finn, for sure -- but assumed her typical side off to the side and look relatively blank stance.
Dakota finished his cupcake, licking his fingers and started to move away slowly from Finn. Slowly just in case the other moon hunter wanted to attempt escaping.
"Okay!" He called the hunters together, looking them over. "Hello, My name is Dakota Rainstar, I'm 20 years old, Full Moon hunter and specialized in Search and Rescue. As the name implies, it means that Edith, the moon division leader, has recognized that I can lead small teams in the specified specialization!" He grinned cheerfully. "Once the training is complete, you are cleared as a member of the team, you are not required to accept search and rescue missions but it would probably be in the best interest to do so."
He moved over to the table, "These are some of the basic items that are needed for the team, and if you aren't cleared for them yet, I would recommended doing so that you won't have trouble on the field! Those being the Barrier daggers and the bandages. Both of those are Runic items and you can receive clearance for both by doing the Moon and Life division training courses." Dakota moved his finger to point at the headsets, "These are another basic tool meant for communication. As of recent missions, which I am sure all of you have been on, this is going to be the best way to communicate between each other." He rubbed his hands together.
"The first part of any rescue, and being part of the moon division, is to be prepared for whatever situation comes. The best way we can do that is..." He paused, "By talking to death hunters or gathering information that pertains to our mission. Sometimes we will be dropped in a situation that requires us to gain it in the moment, for this training though, We're going to pretend that the information can be gathered here and used." He made a small sound.
"Please gather your headsets! I'll break you into teams of three for now and send you to different locations! You need to be able to communicate with your team members if you find the information. I cannot stress how important it is to talk to your team!" He waited for them to gather their headsets before moving around and writing names down in a notepad.
"Team 1, I'd like Zascha, Roland and Marcus. Team 2, Jake, Hanna and Sherry. Team 3, Finn, Dylon and Molly." he listed off the people, before flipping the notepad. "For the nature of this sort of training, it's best to elect a team leader. If you would prefer me to do it, then I will but...this is just as much building trust among each other. If you have questions, Please ask me as I will be available. Added to that, each team has a full hunter or a hunter close to full on it, and if you have questions during your search, you can also ask them." He was looking at you Sherry, Jake, Marcus and Molly.
"Team 1 will explore the corn fields. Team 2 will explore the Towns and Team 3 will explore the Lighthouse! I have hidden 3 pieces of information for you to gather about the nature of this mission. Once you have found all three, please report back to me over the headsets and I will tell you the next step of the mission."
OOC INFORMATION
Part 1: Information As teams head out to designated locations, Dakota has mentioned leaving three clues/pieces of information in each spot. Please roll 1d100 and match your results to the prompt below! You need 3 pieces of information to move on to the next stage! You can do this in the same thread, or in a PRP. If you do it in another thread with your team members, please be sure to exit this one, and then when you are finished, enter back in with the link to the rp!
There is no time limit, as this is just a training! Once everyone has finished, I will post part 2!
1-25: You find nothing of importance! 26-39: You find 1 clue! After this clue is found, it cannot be found again! (meaning if you roll any of the numbers again, it counts as only 1 clue for the team.) The clue states: This use to be the location for Argus testing on the field. Thick palms and questionable enemies. 40-59:: You find nothing of importance 60-81: You find 1 clue! After this clue is found, it cannot be found again! (meaning if you roll any of the numbers again, it counts as only 1 clue for the team.) The clue states: It is the only spot in the Island that is uninhabitable. Hunters tend to stay away from it. 82-90: You find nothing of importance 91-100: You find 1 clue! After this clue is found, it cannot be found again! (meaning if you roll any of the numbers again, it counts as only 1 clue for the team.) The clue states:One person was seen heading into the Jungle with training equipment and has failed to return.
