"I wasn't proposing that we split up -- I was proposing that we span out enough so that we can cover more ground, without remaining alone." Although Lunestra had nothing compared to the experience that Jessica did in military strategy, remaining as a single cell would prove fruitless in a search-and-find mission. They needed to exercise utmost caution, this much she could agree with -- and banding together was certainly the best way, but they would only narrow their search when they should hasten it with as much discipline as possible.
"I'll take to the sky and see if I can find anything on the buildings atop. I won't go far." Is all she offered. Lunestra wasn't going to spend much time planning. Although she believed vehemently in planning each and every move, this situation called for a bit more alacrity. She had read so many battle manuals and plans before . . . Although she never managed to reenact them in any way, it was time to take things a bit more seriously. They needed to find the students, and quick. There was very little time for any dissonance.
With that, Lunestra would take to the sky anyway. It was undoubtedly a good idea to search higher ground anyway. Not just anyone could fly, and Lunestra had that kind of advantage. Although she didn't harbor the farsight perspicacity of an eagle, she could still scan the building tops for any signs of a struggle, any foot prints, any clues left behind. . . Although if these people managed to kidnap three students, no matter how sophomoric in battle ability. . . They were likely not to be trifled with.
And so, Lunestra continued to beat her wings, yet she remained very close. She wasn't going to leave Jessica nor Ivory alone for too long, and she was certainly keeping them at a comfortable enough length in case of anything. Her weapons were still drawn and at the ready, and her aura was alive. Her eyes squinted here and there, cocking her head and migrating from building top to building top, looking for further evidence. . . Yet she never descended onto them. No, that would be a bit too risky.
Tessa looked between her two teammates several times before looking around at the area. Urban, dark , and with plenty of ambush points you wouldn't see walking down the street, not a super great place to be when one was as big and blatant as Tessa was. So it seemed best course of action was to be out of sight... The rhino faunus looked up at the buildings, relatively low but high enough that they could be out of sight and certainly high enough to give them a good lay of the land without being spotted. She was silent as she crouched, placing her fingertips on the pavement, then with a grunt she leaped nearly straight up toward the roof. There were a few light thuds as she touched her boots to the wall toward the apex of the leap, and another as she gripped the lip of the building and pulled herself over onto the flat surface before gravity could will her back down. Against what many would call logic, Tessa , a 7'2 nearly 300 pound (and still growing) girl of almost pure muscle, had launched herself well over twenty feet into the air using only her leg strength, and was currently waving down at her teammates with a smile while pointing in the direction of their destination.
Danaë watched as 2 of her team mates basically jumped up, into the sky, getting on top of a building. It was impressive to see a rhino fly. However, she could not. She would go between buildings, her white heels making barely any noise. She loved her ability to sneak up on people. It made her whom she was.

Ivory nodded his head, understanding what both of them wanted to do. He was fine with staying close with the group. They needed to get some kind of communicator so that they could talk while she was in the sky. It was something that his team had that not many other teams would have. However, they needed to better their communication...However, it might be a better idea to get to know each other first...His mind would freak out at the thought of social situations, however, it was combat time.
"I'll stay within 15 feet of you Jessica." He would then start to go out, trying to keep his footsteps light.
Jessica watched as Lunestra took towards the sky. It was something to keep note of for future situations. "If you need to land pick a roof top. If your weapon has a ranged form, use it." Fifteen foot gap between her and Ivory was a good idea. Keeping within the established range of each other Jess moved to cover their rears. It was too quiet, which was very off for the city of Vale. "Hey Ivory, reduce it to under ten feet from me. The silence doesn’t settle well with me." Following her own command/suggestion she moved to be nine feet from Ivory. Any other night the fifteen feet would have been fine, would have been preferred for a search, but the silence felt unnatural to her. "Ivory remain looking at twelve, I’ve got our six, Lunestra can you scout a street or two ahead from the air?

Lunestra never minded taking orders. As the younger sibling, she had always grown accustomed to following in her brother's footsteps. This grew even moreso when her brother became even more worthy of note, although she never developed any kind of inferiority from it. She had no need to. She didn't wish to. Besides, feeling any kind of envy or disdain for being ordered around was unhealthy for a team. They were a team, after all -- they needed to be willing to listen to each other, and then make reasonable decisions from there.
At least that's what she read.
In truth, Lunestra didn't feel all too well about Jessica barking orders at her, but she gave her the benefit of the doubt. What the old Atlas soldier asked was very feasible -- scouting a street or two away rather quickly would likely benefit the search. "Alright," Was her reply, and she contracted for a moment before sprinting further into the city, her wings fully unfurled.
Arriving a street away from their initial location, she scouted here and there, carefully and dutifully. She kept her eyes peeled, her weapons drawn, and her dour settled. If she didn't find anything there, she'd migrate to another street. . . And then likely circle around and back. She wished to avoid fights in necessary, but she was making very careful mental notes of her environment, and how she could put it to use if a fight did arise.

Lunia Alexandria Yatomura "I'll make you all proud of me one day.."
Lunia had been walking with the group in silence for quite some time. She felt so awkward with her own teammate and friend Jazz after what happened in the room, just looking at him made her cringe with embarrassment. She was made the leader of the team and although couldn't understand why they voted for her in the first place, was now unable to communicate with them because of an innocent yet perverted blunder in their room. "I need to rectify this somehow before something happens... she said. Knowing Jazz he was probably laughing at her overreaction to what happened and was over it by now, thinking about that made her chuckle to herself.
Lunia looked at the others and witnessed them mingling and getting to know each other. She had read in so many books how to socialize but doing it in real life was totally different than what she expected, and yet she loved it so far. She couldn't help but notice the different faunus in the area and especially the huge tower of a woman, Tessa. She was at least two feet taller than Lunia, she looked at her and gulped, never wanting to be on the bad side of her.
She wondered about the missing students, she was worried about them, hoping they were OK. However also found herself wondering if this was possibly a test set up by the headmaster, which brought her attention to Lunestra. Lunia knew Lunestra pretty well, and felt comfortable being on a mission with her, at least they had seen each other training. She watched as she flew ahead to scout, "Stay safe and vigilant, your a pretty big target in the sky.." she said to herself, keeping an eye on the area.
It was finally time to grow up for Lunia, she looked at Jazz and approached him. Ready to have a serious talk and apologise for what happened, Lunia opened her mouth and what came out next would bite her in the backside for the rest of her days. "So, about that picture?" she said, holding her scroll out to tease him.
She tried to laugh but it just came out as an awkward noise, and once she realised she probably shouldn't have made the joke, she sighed. "Sorry about that, I shouldn't laugh. I apologise deeply for what happened Jazz, I had no intention of making you feel uncomfortable and would agree if you wanted me to step down as leader of the team.."
Lunia started to smell something, it was disgusting. She tried to shrug it off while she watched for his reaction.

Team LOJC:
Lunia Yatamura @xLulie Oswald Star @CEOxJOE Jazz Myers @Eddy Soul Charlotte Aoyama @VRIEN/Buingu
The streets of vale were as cold as ice. By the time the students arrived it was nearly morning, but still too early for any citizens to be up and about. The area assigned to this group consisted of an industrial storage area, a city park, and a small neighborhood. The group was too inspect the area as thoroughly as possible for any signs of the missing persons or the possible perpetrators.
As the students approached the industrial storage section of the city, the sounds of muttering could be heard, it was drowned out however by the foul stench that was coming from the area. The smell itself was enough to make ones vision blurred, it was both a smell you wanted to stay away from, but knew something was amiss.
They were waiting in the shadows, they had the prize and they were not going to give it up, not without a fight. The bandits spread out, forming a circle around the group of first year students, after all, first years wouldn't have even began to untap their powers yet, they were weaklings ready for the picking. Still unnoticed, they awaited the students to walk right into their trap, they were completely surrounded.
There were three leaders in the large group, and they were pointed out by their red scarf around the arm. Snipers set up at the back, one aiming straight for the faunus girl who was in the air, the other for the large faunus with rhino features. The larger bandits were formed, ready to attack the smallest of targets while the more agile of them couldn't wait to run circles around the others. These bandits were looking forward to the kill, forward to their ambush.
OOC: I know some conversations still aren't over, so if you could wrap them up and make your way together so that things can get exciting! These bandits are hidden from us all, I want to make sure we are all together so things don't get confusing for everyone!

Lunia was silent for the rest of the journey, it was apparent that his comment had been over thought by her. She has a habit of assuming the absolute worst. I guess we have work to do there. Jazz spent the walk getting to know the others a little, mostly trivial information, names, age, academy training. It was nice to talk freely to people, well as freely as his assumed persona would allow. Conversation wasn't one of Jazz' strong suits yet it wasn't a weakness by any means, he'd keep a backseat role in most discussions, occasionally shifting the conversation if it started to dry up. So, Mr. Oswald. What role will you be taking during our missions? Simple conversation was all well and good but they were on a mission now, their minds needed to focus.
Their goal was to either A) Retrieve the missing student or B) find evidence of their location. We'll have to keep a close eye on everything around us, we don't want to lose anymore students. With that said, we don't want to be too obvious. Who knows how these thugs'll react. Taking in his surroundings he noticed someone flying high above. If it weren't for Lunia's apparent acknowledgement he would've taken aim. Lunestra I gather. Around the area they had been sent to gather were three other students, one he recognised. Jessica. I'm glad we have experience on our side. I wonder if she ever had to deal with events like this back in Atlas? Next to her was a small female faunus, or was it male? It was hard to tell at this distance. It was near impossible not to notice the towering female faunus up on a roof nearby. Well so much for inconspicuous, guess we'll be relying on numbers for this one.
Lunia made her way over to the group. Seems she's finally decided on our course of action. I was hoping I wouldn't have to push her to come up with a plan. What she lead with though put a surprised expression on Jazz' face. Uuuuhhh. Her nervous laugh relaxed him however. Good one. A smile crept onto his face. As she went on he sighed loudly. You know. You're really going to have to learn not to overthink everything. I'm sure it'll save your life once or twice, but it will make becoming friends quite difficult. We all voted for you to be our team leader, saying we got it wrong isn't exactly the nicest of suggestions. Pausing for a moment he wondered what he should add. And besides. What man doesn't like to be drooled over by an attractive young woman. s**t.
As much as he intended his comment to be yet another tease even he could tell it sounded as genuine as could be. Oh god, oh god, oh god. Think Jazz, quick. Looking around he prayed something would save him from this uncomfortable feeling. Her eyes pierced through any defence he tried. Coughing loudly into his fist he looked towards the students on the rooves. Perhaps we should try and gain a height advantage to aid our search.

Narx honestly wasn't expecting to find a single thing. He thought that the day was gonna go by slowly and in the end they would all laugh at the dinner tables about how much time they wasted. Of course getting to know your new teammates was never a waste of time so he had planned to just lazily chat with his new buddy Tessa and his lovely feathered friend. Those plans changed in a hurry when he sensed danger. Somethign bad was happening. He wasn't sure what, but he knew they needed to get out and quick. "Well..I have to say this situation is worse than being forced to eat a Popsicle made of frozen guano."He instantly jumped back towards Danaë and placed a hand on the handle of his hammer. He would be ready for anything that would come their way. His first move would be to try and get an idea of what to do. They would need a strategy and that would be decided based on the first few moves of whatever happened next. Something was waiting just beyond the shadows. He could feel it."Danaë. You have any ideas?"

Lunestra continued her route through the cityscape and kept her eyes trained on any potential leads. She noted that Lunia and Jazz had suddenly appeared, and so her team and the others were no longer the ones present. Although there was certainly strength in numbers, there was also further disorganization. Even so, Lunestra tried not to think about that; she needn't make the situation more negative than it already is. Aside from that, her senses were now plagued by a fetid smell that made her throat feel like there was a sun about to barf out in liquid form.
Disgusting.
Eventually, everyone had migrated towards the storage docks of Vale. They weren't literal docks, but a large macrocosm of storage steel bases, trucks, and the like. The smell seemed to intensify as they all approached, and Lunestra could only furrow her brow. Through all this, she continued to move, her weapons at the ready. At this point, one of her fans had morphed into its fan mode, increasing speed and defense. Lunestra wasn't sure why, but she felt something was certainly odd. . .
Like they weren't all entirely by themselves.
She didn't remain in one spot for long, and further scouted the area for any potential sordid folk. The heiress remained close to her team though, and at this point, she was only twenty feet into the air. Her descent would likely hurt if she were to suddenly fall, but she never truly had to worry about injuries. If she had the ability to heal them -- which she does --, then she never had to. Her aura was also quite strong as well, but not due to any particular training. Some people were just born with quite a bit of it. It was likely another thing attributed to the Krayeths.
Something is definitely odd, though. So many of us. . . The more I think about this, the less I think that Aurtrox may have planned this. This is perhaps something completely unintentional and legitimate. I need to make my options open though. . . Lunestra squinted, focused, at the ready. Something was definitely off, and she needed to be prepared. There had to be little room for error, but just like the rest, she was rather new to all of this -- Jessica likely had the best chance in detecting things that were off, to Lunestra's knowledge.
Another reason why she was thankful that she was on her team.

Ivory watched as Jessica moved closer to him. Something was eerie about how empty the streets were. He made sure to keep his eyes forward. He would keep one hand on the hilt of his blade. He did not want to be caught unawares. Then the smell assaulted his nose. He did not have an overly sensitive nose, however, it wasn't used to such a pungent smell. He almost vomited from the smell, but he kept it down. He would stop moving at that point though. It was all he could do to keep himself from vomiting.
Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me
Level 0 First Year Team DAND Deer Faunus
Donnelly Erlking
Well, this was certainly a bizarre situation. Stolen from his dorm room in the middle of the night while he was sleeping, right under the noses of his teammates, and without any of the school's faculty or staff noticing the mass invasion of bandits. Of course, being Donnelly Erlking, perpetual sleepyhead, he slept right through the kidnapping. Question was... where was he?
From what he could gather, he was in a storage unit filled with boxes and crates. Possibly in the industrial storage section of Vale. He was tucked into a little corner of the unit, hidden behind several of the boxes. His wrists were bound behind him and ankles were similarly tied together. He felt cold due to his state of dress... but honestly, what he wanted most was a nap.
The garage door to the storage unit was closed and four bandits stood guard within it. Two of them had red arm bands and one of them kept sneaking glances between his legs. While his restrained arms and legs meant he couldn't get up and run, and the constant watch from the four bandit guards meant he couldn't pull anything big, he did have one thing as a deer Faunus.
Arranging himself at just the right angle, Donnelly began tapping his antler loudly against the back steel wall of the storage unit. It wasn't just ordinary tapping, either. Ever hear the sound of two bucks ramming their antlers together? It's loud, and he was banging it out to the tune of the opening ceremony's musical soundtrack, just so any students of the school might recognize the tapping and realize he was there.
Granted, the tapping was coming from the back of the storage unit, so they'd still need to go around the building to the front of it. Either that or bust through a thin steel wall...
"What are you doing?" One of the bandits asked him, narrowing her eyes at the deer Faunus.
"Bored," Donnelly answered simply.
This explanation seemed to satisfy the bandit, who turned back away from her captive. She even started tapping her foot to the tune he was making.
Location: Vale - Streets - Industrial Storage Section - Storage Unit Company: Four bandits (two with red armbands) Mood: Calm Thinking: "I want to sleep..." Wearing: Absolutely nothing... neutral
I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize

Lunia Alexandria Yatomura "I'll make you all proud of me one day.."
Lunia heard Jazz's words, she felt like a knife had cut her when he suggested she thought they got it wrong. She opened her mouth to say something back however closed it almost instantly when he turned it around and complimented her, he thought she was attractive? She felt those same damn butterflies again in her stomach, and gulped heavily, Lunia had always been brushed to the side in favour of her older sister Mia, she had never been called attractive especially someone who she felt for like Jazz. Trying to take his words into account she tried not to overthink it, it was a kind compliment and she took it as such. Lunia looked at Jazz and could tell he was trying to think of a way out, was he embarrassed? She chuckled a little at the thought, how the tables had turned.
"Well I suppose your attractive leader will just have to show you why you voted for me then... " she said, smirking at him playfully.
As the group approached the industrial portion of the city, she frowned and winced from the smell in the area. It was worse than anything she had ever smelled before. She realised everyone else making faces at the unbearable stench in the air, and tapped Jazz on the arm just incase he wasn't focusing on his other senses. "The smell is taking away our focus, something isn't right Jazz, keep all your wits about you" she said.
The group of students came to be surrounded by storage tanks, they were a distance apart, so groups of people could fit through. Lunestra was still in the sky, it made Lunia anxious as she couldn't get up there to help if needed. "My father always told me this is one of the most notorious areas for criminal activity, let's just search and get out of here..".

The streets of vale were as cold as ice. By the time the students arrived it was nearly morning, but still too early for any citizens to be up and about. The area assigned to this group consisted of an industrial storage area, a city park, and a small neighborhood. The group was too inspect the area as thoroughly as possible for any signs of the missing persons or the possible perpetrators.
They had arrived, and right into the trap. From all areas around the students bandits began appearing from the shadows, in between the storage containers, behind them from the streets, and in the open directly at the front of them. The sneers and sadistic laughs could be heard as they move in closer for the kill.
They stood, like still figures as they eyed up their prey like vultures on a corpse. They all had their faces covered, but the putrid smell from before was coming from them, where did they come from?
"Get em!" Don't leave one standing!" shouted one of the bandits from the open area, he must have been in charge. Within seconds, the bandits were charging at the students from all directions, it was up to the students to decide where to fight, who to fight and how to fight - it was up to them to save their own lives and that of their team.
Bandits of different sizes seemed to split into groups of four, heading for each group of students, at the back of the group a bandit could be seen running off towards the storage units at the back, where was he going?
From the very far back, a bandit with a long range weapon aimed and fired for Lunestra, their shot was after the others began their ambush and so the aim was potentially a little off. One also shot at Tessa, aiming to take out the largest in the group from fear she would crush them with her pinkies.
OOC: Alright so everyone start your engines! Basically you are trying to fight off the bandits, I will begin moderating this mission when I can clearly see who is posting here and taking part and who isn't. So you are all to start fighting bandits now, no one hit kills - remember you are first years!
