The mission report gives you the location of a high school, a class schedule, and a profile. For those who look young enough, they get the opportunity to pose as a student. More mature hunters have to pose as substitute teachers. Instructions detail odd occurrences and at least one missing persons report. It's up to you to blend, investigate, and remove whatever is preying on the school.
Day 1 : Blending
The school is mostly empty, except for those who are attending summer school classes. There's a certain eeriness to the empty halls that make the one's filled with students all the more jarring.
Roll 1 d4:
1. You're cornered by an aggressively inquisitive student: they want to know who you are, why you're showing up out of the blue, where you're from. You can accept them as an ally of sorts, to use in investigating the school. If you don't, they will continue to appear the rest of the mission anyway.
2. The principal calls you into his office and gives you a speech about how recently there have problems at the school, but that there is no need to worry. It becomes clear he suspects you are an undercover reporter. You see him periodically throughout the rest of your mission, nervously checking on you.
3. A teacher grabs your arm as you pass them in the hallway, pulling you into an empty room. They give you a hushed ultimatum: if you're here to make things worse or are just indulging morbid curiosity, then you can just leave. You can either play innocent and they will be constantly nearby and watching you for the rest of the mission, or you can give them some variation of the truth that will have them helping you.
4. Within the first few hours, you find a love note in your pocket. You being to feel watched and followed the rest of your mission, and other small notes and even gifts appear. They may be simply cute and innocent, but they may also have a sinister quality. This presence may help or hinder you.

- You notice a student who's seems a bit "off."
- In the locker rooms you find the remnants of something likely not human, be it hair, scales, slime, or some other substance.

Roll 1 d4
1. The student doesn't come to school today. After checking their records, you find out where they live and go to check on them. What you find is a very quiet house, filled only with the buzz of flies as they gather around the bodies of the family within. After several minutes, several of the bodies being to move, and then stagger to their feet. Beetles crawl out their mouths and wounds, and you see small shapes moving underneath their skin. They move toward you.

Auto Damage: 2 per remaining attacker.
Special: If you miss twice in a row, you feel something enter your body, either through your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or an open wound. Add 1 to your modifier every time this happens. (-7 instead of -6 and so on.) This does not affect charge attacks.
2. The student doesn't come to school today. After checking their records, you find out where they live and go to check on them. The house looks normal at first, but when you pass through the gate, you're faced with a family under attack.

Mob
Bug Swarm
HP: 30
Auto Damage: 5

Should the potential hunter survive, you have the option of recruiting them. If they refuse you need to call for a memory blank for all surviving members of the family. A security watch will placed on the family, and their records will be sifted through for bloodline information, but your job there is done.
3. The student shows up at school, and with some encouragements, begins to talk about the things they see that other people don't. You have the option to either recruit them then and there, or leave if for another hunter to do later. If they refuse the offer, you need to call in to have the memory of this day erased.

Roll 1 d4

Kimberly looked again at the display of her phone, reading once more over the details of the mission ahead before filing it away in an encripted folder. She was heading today to a preppy high school and had woke to find a uniform hanging from her door. Why the heck did she have to go to a school like that. Ick. It was like someone was out to get her. Thank goodness no one could see her like this. Then again she did of course take a photo of herself in it so she could possibly use it... who knows there may be SOMEONE she would show it to... later.
Okay think of the mission. She is an exchange student. The school she is going to has has issues with things happening that were not normal and someone has gone missing. She has to solve what was going on and report back after taking care of the situation. It seemed easy enough, she just had to try to keep a low profile. Hence the reason, for this mission she had dyed her hair back to it's... um not normal color but a nice auburn that would blend in. She had no idea what he natural shade was anymore.
Her student ID card said her name was Kylie Thomas. A nice bland mundane name that most would not remember. It worked well.
