Normally the semi-annual Mist Division meeting would be held within the Mist Lounge, the exclusive communal area that only Mist hunters were allowed to venture into. This time those expecting the meeting to be held there would find a notice taped to the door (someone had finally gotten around to patching up the large hole in the wall, likely due to the Death division using it to abscond from the lounge with their couches).
The directions (if followed properly and for the purposes of this exercise we're going to assume that they were else we'd be slowly creeping along for two weeks following prompts only for the event to never be finished) lead the Mist trainees on a merry jaunt through the abandoned down through the cornfields and all in all it was a round about way to get to the Lighthouse and through a portal to a particular address goddamnit Lance why couldn't you have just directed everyone to the Lighthouse --
The portal lead to a cabin in a forest perched on a hill, complete with trees cut away enough to offer a pleasant view to a lake. A pier could be seen complete with boats tied up against the pier. The pleasant calmness of the area was broken by the loud baying of dogs along with the rattle of metal as the canines pawed at the chain link fence that made up their kennel, eager to greet the new arrivals.
Another sign directed the Mists around the cabin to the other side, where a large assortment of mismatching tables and chairs had been cobbled together to form an outdoor dining area. A line of tables against the cabin wall boasted an equally assorted mixture of both simple to complex to nautilus-looking food. Someone was even thoughtful enough to add little tags to the dishes, ranging from "Energy drinks courtesy of the Sun Division" to "Bacon macaroni & cheese with apple sauce, peanut butter, and Sriracha courtesy of Edith NOTICE: WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONSUME THIS AND NO EATING IT WILL NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM THE SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING. Those that do not heed this warning and eat it will be expected to survive on their own. And for extra fun, this dish has been reheated in a runic microwave!"
Once most of the Mists had grabbed their food and taken a seat, Lance stood up from where he had been playing with a dog that bounced eagerly at his feet. "All right, hope you guys have been thinking about what you want to do." The division leader announced, pausing a moment to throw a dog-slobber tennis ball out towards the woods. The dog at his feet took off, disappearing into the underbrush. "And yes, I am standing. Yes, I am the new lead. And no, you can't play with any of the dogs here or specialize in working with them. These are my hunting dogs and this is my hunting lodge, and no you can't come back here without my permission."
"With that said, who wants to go first? Either propose a new project to me or give me an update on your latest gig."

Every Mist Hunter and trainee on the island is assumed to be here at this picnicDivision get-together meeting. If you aren't able to post right away, you don't have to RP them as late unless that's IC for them.
These meetings are an opportunity for your hunters to ICly propose new projects that they'd either like to run themselves or join, and get the resources (funds/equipment/space/minions) needed for said projects. The amount of responsibility and resources they get depends heavily on rank, with new trainees getting very little for themselves.
If your hunter is making a proposal, be sure to post quote me!
The RP does not have a definite ending so don't panic about writing a proposal asap!
This RP is worth: + 1 rp point for going over 800 words + 1 rp point for making a proposal -OR- giving an update on your hunter's current project (if they have one)
For more fun, why not go against your better judgement and try some of the bacon macaroni & cheese with apple sauce, peanut butter, and sriracha that has several warning signs posted around it? Eat some and doom yourself to 1d6:

Dakotas very first meeting which he totally vacated moon to come was awesome. He resisted the urge to coo at puppies...sorry Lance. HUNTING DOGS. He already was aware not to eat Edith's food, and thus took a spot somewhere in the middle to get a feel for his new division.
At one point, if Lance looked over at Dakota. He'd get a finger waggle, raised eyebrows and cheerful guess who invaded your harem Lance.

Noemi was there as well but standing far far in the back. And making herself as well blended and hidden as she could.
The new location for the Mist meeting was a bit of a surprise, the walk around town and to the portals to get to it however was not. Lance it seemed didn't want to let them have it to easy when it came to getting there. Still the location was what caught his attention, he couldn't help but stare at the lake, the thought of fishing or going swimming crossing his mind.
More signs lead them around back only to find Lance standing about with a dog. It was odd seeing him out of his chair and, well, honestly it caught Roland entirely off guard and he might have been staring for a few minutes.

Molly didn't mind the run around to get here, because the location was absolutely worth it. Like others, she stood in awe for quite some time at the beauty, and oh so badly wanted to play with the dogs too, but alas, no. She made her way towards the table, looking around curiously at all who had gathered so far--
Oh. There was Noemi.
As soon as Molly saw her, she looked ready to burst into tears. Noemi hated her cupcakes. She thought they were the worst. Molly ducked her head and quickly skirted by her, lowering her gaze towards the ground until she deemed herself safely out of Noemi's distance. She then looked up once it was safe and found--
"Dakota!" Molly gasped, surprised. She approached the other Hunter, and stood next to him. "What are you doing here, silly? This is the Mist Division!" Oh that Dakota~
Noemi's eyes met Mollys and she had a horrible moment where she regretted her life because...BECAUSE SHE HAD SAID SUCH TERRIBLE THINGS TO MOLLY. And she wasn't sure how to apologize and she should go over there but it looked like Molly was going to cry and instead she just stood in her spot and looked ashamed...
At the ground in shame. Thats where she looked.
Dakota on the other hand made grabby hands for Molly to sit by himmmmm.
"Hi you Hi." He pulled her down to him and hugged her tight before laughing. "I transferred to mist today." He nodded, "Just came from the moon meeting to see what Mist meetings are like. I'm now Dakota the mist hunter. Ah yeah."
For a moment he sat there blissedly.
"Oh s**t!" Dakota stood up and looked at Lance, "Sorry sir, transferred from moon. I was specializing in search and rescue training for moon and was wondering if I could continue in that path/specialization for mist? Most of the training gear I use had been bought with my own money, however room cost and runic gear are a little more expensive. Should I write up a proposal for a budget cost to you, if I am allowed to keep my specialization?"

Arorangi was at the meeting, bounding in cheerfully and patting a massive hand onto Noemi's shoulder in greeting (gently and lightly so as to not knock the poor girl over) as he plopped himself down in the nearest chair, helping himself to a bit of food.
"Greetings, everyone!" he said brightly.

Well that certainly was fun.
With this being her very first division meeting, Nellie had no idea as to what to expect or what was expected of her and others like herself, making sure that she set off from her room with plenty of time to spare so that she could find her way there without running the risk of being late to something as important as this. When she eventually arrived at the meeting, albeit a little shaken from being startled by Lance's hunting dogs shortly after arriving at the lodge via the portal, she paused for a moment to study the set up then quietly moved to one of the chairs way at the back.
Just as she was about to sit herself down to observe the interactions between those around her, she spied a redhead female who looked as if she was deep in thought about something two chairs away from where she intended to sit. Clearing her throat lightly in an attempt to get the other's attention, she gave the other girl a small smile as she posed her question as to whether the chair was still available.
"Nellie wonders if these seats are already taken..?"

Nellie says hi Noemi? ^^;

Finley was excited. Her first division meeting! Even the convoluted path the instructions had led her on couldn't get her down - a bit of sightseeing was never amiss, after all; especially when it lead to a picnic. And in such a scenic location!
She took a seat, staring admiringly at everything in sight. So many people she'd never met before, adorably enthusiastic dogs (one could have pets while being a Hunter? Sweet!), a beautiful setting, lots of food; the Mist trainee was absolutely sold. This meeting was awesome before it'd even started!
The long-winded, winding, wild-goose-chase-y directions weren't really a bother for Before. Admittedly he was relieved that the reason he felt like he was going in circles was because the directions were meant to lead him in circles. Seeing other Mist hunters only bolstered his confidence and as he stepped through the portal, Before sort of wished he could bring Ofelia with him. His mood darkened, slightly, at the thought of the female Sun Hunter but he forced it away by the time he emerged from the portal.
Only to have his bad mood turn outright stormy when he heard the dogs.
Before did not like dogs. Actually he did not just dislike dogs. He ******** hated them. >8[[[[[[[
Added the fact he still wasn't all too happy that Lance took over the position of Mist Lead, or that Aria was actually some sort of traitor, well, Before had to remind himself he was loyal to the Division. Not its leaders. Leaders were not to be trusted, in his rather biased opinion.
He kept as far away from the dogs as he could, his expression one of unmistakable distaste. And it wasn't to hide this fact that Before took some of the food left out for their consumption. He wanted something on hand to distract himself with, because admittedly, he didn't know jack s**t about the other Mist hunters around.
Which led to him taking a bite of the food. With less-than-noticeable effects because Before and emotes totes go waaaaaaay back, yo! ^w^.

Noemi jumped as Aro's hand came to rest on her, even though it was gentle. She actually managed NOT to squeak out in fear that she had done something wrong or that Molly had a group of bouncers or hunters to come get her because she said very naughty things to to the deus mom.
When she saw that it was Aro, not just Aro, because he was not a just, he was still a terrifying mountain man, she gave him a very weak smile.
"H..Hello Aro." And then she was back to staring at the table.
That that was until another somebody came up and she actually managed to squeak this time, putting her hand over her heart. This girl was asking for her and her friend?
"Um, no these seats aren't taken. If you and Miss Nellie want to sit here?" She scooted a little to accommodate two people.
She heard the squeak that the other girl gave and almost immediately she became flustered, her eyes growing wide as she lifted and waved both her hands at the same time. "Nellie didn't mean to scare you! Nellie is so so sorry..!" This was just great. She should have just picked another seat instead of startling the other like this. So much for first impressions and working on her social skills.
It took her awhile before she finally recollected herself somewhat, a sheepish expression on her face as she timidly let her gaze briefly meet Noemi's. "Nellie... would like to if you don't mind." She remained rooted to her spot for now, wanting to make sure that Noemi was really alright with her sitting beside her before taking the seat proper. "Nellie is just one person. Nellie is sorry for confusing you..." She eventually attempted to clarify for the redhead's benefit.

Noemi was totally waiting for that other person still. She felt terrible that this one seemed flustered as she was. "Soo..Sorry. I easily get flustered. I'm sorry. So Sorry." Oh my god all the sorries popping out.
"Oh..Oh YOU'RE NELLIE." Oh jeez, how did Noemi miss that, she pulled out a chair, again apologizing. "Please, no, it's no bother, please sit. Sorry. I didn't realize, I am not used to uh..." She laced her hands together.
"My name is Noemi." She whispered in a very small voice.
It was hard to tell how long Stormy had been there or when exactly she had appeared as she hadn't made a sound before her entrance, but there she was: bright, bubbly, and slightly bouncy as she floated about and greeted everyone with a smile. In her arms was a basket of cookies she had scrounged around—some chocolate chip, some sugar, a couple of pecan and white chocolate, and several coveted M&M cookies—which she offered with gusto alongside the options for food. For the moment, the hunter was more a cheerful force of nature than a person.
"Everyone doing okay? Need water or something?" She was in less of a rush to report to Lance (not that he didn't already have an idea of what she had been up to thanks to their last meeting) than she was making sure every trainee was comfortable for their first meeting. Dakota was given a curious look alongside the smile, but she figured an explanation would come eventually. Maybe Candace had gotten to him!

No Hug Cupcake Hater Noemi.
"Hi!" Molly chirped back, Dakota's radiance making her, for now, forget about Noemi and her hatred of cupcakes. She hugged the Hunter back, and sat herself into the seat beside him before gasping loudly. "You transferred to Mist!?" She cried, utterly surprised. Not in a bad way, just shocked. "But you loved Moon so much! Oh, wow!" What was the right thing to say in this situation? Congratulations? Hrm...no, that didn't seem right...
Molly was caught up in pondering what one said for a division transfer.
Dakota's arrival prompted a sharp glance from Lance, followed by the quick jerk of his head. Moments later a hunter slid up to him, exchanging a quick whispered discussion before the hunter strode off, slipping away from the meeting.
"Hm? Do I have something on me?" Lance asked Ro before glancing down at himself, checking the collar of his shirt for an errant lipstick stain.
The division leader looked up as Dakota looked his way and shouted to him. "Hey!" Lance snapped, interrupting him. "What kind of manners were you in a division with? C'mere and hold a proper conversation with me, 'less you have something to announce to everyone." Lance jerked his chin up, indicating the gathered Mists, "Then by all means shout from where you are, but if you need to talk to me, then I'd appreciate it if you'd approach me instead of shoutin'. Molly? Could you talk some sense into him?" He added upon seeing how friendly she was towards him.
Arorangi's enthusiastic greeting was met by a glare from Sandy before the division assistant put her head back down on the table, her hand tightening its clutch on the half-empty can of beer nearby. "'s too earlyyyyy and you punks keep setting the dogs off."
Something cold and wet touched Finley's hand before a tennis ball thoroughly soaked with dog slopped was dropped at her feet. The huntress would find a dog looking up at her hopefully, tail swishing back and forth while it panted heavily.
"Oh my god are you seriously going to eat that?!" A hunter stared in horror as she watched Before take a bite of the Food That Should Not Be Touched. She blanched, pressing a hand against her lips but unable to look away.
Near Nellie and Noemi, another hunter couldn't help but to overhear and start laughing. "Just sit down, 's not like the chair's going to rise up and bite you or anything. Or that anyone'll kick you out of a seat. If they do, just try to kick'em back in return! And speakin' of YO STORMY! I see you with those cookies over there bring'em here!"
"Oi!"
"Oi yesself! You're the one who told the former Moonbro over there to stop shouting sir! Fine! Stormy would you please bring me an -- ow!" The hunter flailed as a second dog-slobbered tennis ball pegged them on the head, the ball bouncing up before landing on Nellie's lap.
For his part, Lance look pleased with his aim as he wiped his hand on his jacket.
