fifteen minutes huh? Fifteen minutes before he would be running into a real life version of hell. Or at least, thats what he thought it would be on the other side of the portal. Damien was never able to sit still just before a mission. While everyone else was socializing, or arguing as he thought he heard, he was pacing around the area, preparing himself mentally for the mission ahead. He even took his gun out, swinging it around and aiming it at imaginary targets. Even now after so many missions, he felt nervous. Nervous about going in there, knowing that with everyone around him, many wouldn't make it back alive. He might not make it back alive, there was a very good chance of it. His dismal thoughts were disturbed, when he herd something nearby virtually yell out for someone to shut up. Celestine offered. The sun hunter looked towards the direction of the shout, and saw a group of hunter smiling about. He ventured over, able to see a fellow sun hunter, a small mist hunter, and not to mention the leader of the Life devision herself. Velda seemed rather focused on her current job of...taking apart those weird toys kids were playing with lately, so he moved his attention to the mist hunter sitting down.
The kid looked...well, petrified. And considering they had just announced it was fifteen minutes before a mission, he assumed that was the cause of his concern. Although he seemed a little confused when the sun hunter started laughing.
"Hey...kid, you alright?" He asked. That was before the velda gave him the toy.
...Yeah, he had no idea what was going on.

Dave nodded. "I hear you. I'll watch out for your wrath." The silences were odd to him, in all the time he'd known Jess, there'd never been cause for...lingering silences like these. Heavy with a lot of words between them he imagined that would never be said. It would be awkward if he wasn't so at ease in her company.
"And likewise missy, if you go off getting yourself killed, I'm going to be very annoyed with you."

She closed her eyes upon hearing Liam’s announcement. Fifteen minutes. The speech hadn’t fooled the woman for a second. As soon as the words had reached her ears Flair knew. She reached into her pockets, fiddling with the bracelets inside while her gaze cautiously drifted over to her division leader. Her opinion of Velda was mixed. The slightly-older woman aggravated her, but at the same time she couldn’t deny Velda’s genius. She admired Velda, but the words would never leave her lips.
Flair silently eyed Velda as she huddled even more over her toy and fiddled with it. She strode over, fishing out the jewelry from her pockets. “Ma’am,” she called out. Her expression appeared unusually uneasy. Comforting and farewells were not her forte. “I got these for you.” She didn’t bother to say she thought it was cute—like her—or that it would suit her or other cheesy words. She didn’t even bother to say anything else when she heard Aki calling out Nico’s name. The corner of her lips twitched. “Hold on.” The bracelets tumbled out of her hands as she walked away (but not before throwing a confused look as Damien received the toy).
“Aki. Aki.” She hissed as she reached for the young sun hunter and tugged at her arm. “Stop. Don’t worry. He’s here and we’ll find him.” Her brows furrowed. "So lower your voice."

Fifteen minutes? Had he said fifteen minutes? The cages! She tried to get through past people towards the cages looking for a creature her weapon could get a charge off of. She didn't have enough time and she did not fancy going into the fray completely unprepared. "Excuse me, excuse me!" She sighed a bit her voice was so faint compared to all the hustle and bustle. Well...the Life leader was close by maybe she ought to ask her about a creature she could use to charge her weapon. She moved a bit closer and lightly tapped Velda on the shoulder with her longbow.
"Excuse me, but you wouldn't happen to know if there are any creatures left for me to charge Arina? I mean my weapon that is..." She had forgotten that she was only one who was rather intimate with her bow. The annoying howling was starting up again, a hungry whine that wouldn't likely go away until the bow was satisfied.

 Gabby nodded at the compliment and was about to ask something when Lars arrived. Gabby remembered him and the time she made the mistake of thinking he'd be someone bearable and tried to invite him to just chill, seeing as how they were both Mist Hunters. She got a faceful of insults for her offer and decided he wasn't worth anyone's time. A poisonous attitude only spelled trouble.
And boy was he trouble. Outside of missions sure, there were endearing troublemakers. During missions? No. Bad move. But it looked like things were under control now... Or were they?

Caelius was still busy fastening the bandages to his arm, when he finally looked up-
- Wasn't that his division leader Ferdinand accosting some- yeah he had no clue what was going on. Not to mention Velda having more gifts than a kid at their tenth birthday party.
The Sun Hunter tried to casually fall back in line between two somewhat-familiar faces. "What is going on?" It was curiosity and confusion more than anything else.

"Yeah yeah. I know." She bobbed her head distractedly before shifting her gaze in Velda and Pigpig's direction. Just in time to watch her hand him something with a peck on the cheek. Perking her brow before casting a gaze at Dave.
"What do you suppose that was about?" She just assumed he saw it too. As if he saw everything always and before she did. She didn't mention though how stupidly mush it made her feel inside. Fleetingly. Only for a minute. If even.

Fifteen minutes. C was visibly growing increasingly nervous. She released her hold on Mark and Selena and began to... dance? Her monster-holding duty was interrupted and taken care of, Velda had her gift, and the FEAR hunters seemed to have things under control, for the most part. If she got in trouble for this, so what? The way they spoke in hushed voices around them wasn't too promising either. Though the din of the preparations, her voice went in and out of audible range. "...gonna party like...1999...~"

Heidi had been content watching Velda work, and when she made it clear she wanted her present she smiled, reaching into her pocket and procuring two colorful sticks of rock candy. "Here, Vel--" Suddenly she found herself grabbed by the waist and lifted, then turned to face someone. Before she knew it there was a pair of lips pressed against hers and they did not belong to the man she was in love with. These were not Julio's lips. What. The hell. Was happening. It took her a minute but she did eventually gain back enough sense in her head to growl and realize her mouth was just raped. Unfortunately for Jared her first instinct was to grab him by the front of his shirt and quickly raise her knee up; deep down Heidi hoped it connected with his stomach, not his groin, but in the heat of the moment she couldn't be sure. She then took advantage of being dipped to spin around and throw him over her shoulder onto the ground. She nearly pulled her daggers out of their sheath at her hip but remembered this as a hunter, not some random thug or a monster, though she did have a foot on his chest. "...What is your freakin' problem?! You don't just walk up to people you barely know and--UGH!" She pushed away from his chest and turned back to Velda, sighing in irritation. "I'm sorry about that ma'am. Here, I figure you might like these." She reached into her pocket again, grabbing the same two colorful sticks of rock candy. Hmm? Heidi looked Caelius' way when he actually came to her with a question. Her eyes widened. "Um! Liam said we've got fifteen minutes until prep period is over...and then we're going into Halloween for.." She frowned. "I guess everyone is getting in their...their last...um.." Her hand shook a little and she forced herself to laugh it off. "Everyone is taking preparation into their own hands until we're called to duty. Candy?" Apparently she had a third stick of candy in her pocket which she also offered to Caelius.

Lucas had a stupid grin on his face as he backed away, hands up in an innocent gesture. He shot a look over at Remy. "I think you've got the right idea. Little miss Mya is going to turn him into an itty-bitty baby," he crooned. That said he decided maybe he ought to start teasing the poor fellow, obviously something was horribly wrong if he was going to screech like a little girl. That decision made he made a strategic step away from the couple. One never quite knew with Mya, and that boy was crazy enough that anything could happen. Still, he probably wasn't thinking about the mission ahead. At least had given him a break from that stress.

Dave on the other hand hadn't noticed, he was too busy watching the tensions that seemed to be building over in the direction of the Sun division leader, so blinked as he followed her gaze to Velda's direction. He hadn't really registered the Life division leader's precence nearby. "What was what about?" he asked looking baffled.
He was actually tempted for a moment to ask her if she'd actually found Caelius the day before, but thought the better of it, spotting Henry nearby and not too sure with a front line charge about to go over, he wanted anyone's rapt attention, especially not a division leader he could have possibly sent on a wild goose chase.
"Did something happen?"

Adam's expression had gone attentive and somewhat pleasant as Zoey spoke. After the mission... would there be an 'after the mission'? No, he couldn't think like that, even if he knew it to be true. They'd might as well plan in case somehow they survi--
<< There's been as escape!>>
Oh?
He had just charged off of that damn thing...
"One minute!" Adam disappeared into the crowd suddenly, raising Petia so as to not beat anyone over the head by accident. Thankfully this creature was not too large, it was dispatched quickly... just as Zoey had, he returned to where he had been last. There was the girl and the apparently confused Isaac. Had he missed something? He'd caught only the a**-end of their argument as he'd arrived. "Kissed you!"
<< Like you're surprised... >>
"Well... well, no, it's not a surprise really, just a bit odd..." The Life Hunter had a habit of speaking back to his weapon aloud, rather than simply thinking back to it. It was a habit he'd tried to break to no avail. "I really don't think that's an accidental kiss, I'm not even sure such things exist, right? You have to want to lock lips with someone if you plan to make contact. Hell, I've missed before, but I think he might have done that to frustrate you, or, uh... considering the way he walked off, maybe--" Beat him up?! Hopefully Isaac didn't mean that. "I'm not beating anybody up. You should go talk to him, though... fifteen minutes. We'll be gone by then and who knows if we'll be back."
Woops. He'd said that aloud. He turned to Zoey then and smiled reassuringly, giving her shoulder a little squeeze. Of course he'd be back, and Isaac too, and they'd all live to do whatever it was Zoey had failed to finish mentioning, and they'd go on another 5 years sharing information and--
<< Optimism will only make the fall harder. >>
Give us our time, Petia. Let us be happy.

Jared, unfortunately, was just at the right height to receive a knee into his groin. Worth it? Yes. Oh, and Caelius had just arrived, with bandages fastened to his arms. How wonderful for him.
< I take my former statement back. >
'Oh, shut up.'
After Heidi got off, Jared pushed himself up and dusted himself off. Bygones be bygones and all that. He used Cael as a support for a bit, trying not to give away that he was dying on the inside from man pains.
"Yeah, pretty much what she said. Oh, and I need one of those bandages, if you don't mind, bud."
He turned his head to Heidi then, giving her a small smile. "Sorry 'bout that... figured I may as well get one good one in, and you were the first woman I saw so... yeah. Nice moves, by the way." He coughed, man pains still excruciating. "Name's Jared, by the way. You?"

Mercutio held the monster down with his gun as instructed until the little one in the fifth cage broke out. All hell went lose after that. Hunters were attacking it, running around; causing a great muck of things really.
A few of the leaders came out and started tossing shouts around. Merc was just happy he wasn't in the Sun division. The leader would've clashed with him so badly it'd almost be sad. Yeah, moon was definitely the better choice.
15 Minutes eh? Mercutio spent the time readying himself, not particularly speaking to anyone in general. Not that he wasn't open. He just didn't have anything to say.
Glancing over he saw some of hunters goofing off. Didn't they know this was serious business hunter time? Merc shook his head. This was no time to be throwing dirt.

Flair caught Megan's attention as she gave Velda a gift, and she also managed to catch what the other girl, Aki was asking. Nico? Nope. Sorry, hadn't seen the guy. "Looking for Nico huh?" Megan gave a smile. "He's probably getting ready. Not much time left before well-" Before the mission would really begin. A look a Flair and Megan's eyes flicked to Velda. A test of fate perhaps. "If anything are you guys ready? I haven't seen the Mist Division Lead around, so, kind of curious what we're supposed to do aside from the usual fill in where ever." The ruckus not far off got an eye brow raise. "Heidi...this..isn't the time to be eating junk food." What were you doing? "Besides, I think the time would be better spent beating that face rapist up but then, that's just me."
