Jordan gave Ennea a quick smile, and let himself give in to the urge to ruffle her hair like he'd used to do to Andy when the little booger had still been shorter than him. "Good. You'll do fine." He flexed his right hand. Ferros, would you?Happy to. The slight weight of the ring on his hand was replaced by the solid heft of the hammer; Jordan swung Ferros up to rest across his shoulder, reassured as he always was by the weapon's presence. "Time to go, Phoenixes," he said, deliberately using the name. "Let's do this." He turned and headed towards the portal. [Exiting to Hunter Group 4 thread]

Ennéa giggled and ducked her head away from Jordan's hand. She then took a step back as the older hunter summoned his weapon.
She looked around at her follow Phoenixes. Despite the small fluttery ball of nervousness in her stomach, it felt really cool to be a part of such a team. She gave Maddie a grin and waved to Robert and Petra. "You heard the boss, let's go! We can do this!"
She extended her hand. "Baraz?"
Coming, coming.
The bracelet around Ennéa's wrist glowed for a moment and the glass bead charm detached itself and gave a small flash. Ennéa gripped the solid wooden shaft of her axe and effortlessly swung it around.
And then realized that she had been perhaps a little careless with her swing, judging by the reactions of the hunters standing nearby. "Oopsie! Sorry!" Thankfully it didn't look like she had hit anyone.
In her mind, Baraz sighed the sigh of the long suffering. Ennéa could almost see the ahriman's single eye rolling.
"I said I'm sorry, geez." She muttered to the axe. She then shouldered Baraz and quickly followed after Jordan to the portal, trying hard not to feel flustered.

Madison took another deep breath, and stepped f-HOLY GOD WAS THAT AN AXE COMING RIGHT AT HER FACE WHAT?! "Ennea!" she yelped, stumbling backwards, nearly tripping and falling in the process. Her eyes were wide as she realized that the young pink-haired Hunter had somehow ended up with a really big, really dangerous looking axe.
... Wonderful.
"Be more caref... oh nevermind," she grumbled as Ennea vanished before she could get in her entire lecture. Still, she figured the younger girl and Jordan had the right idea, at least broadly speaking; a brief moment of concentration was all it took to call Kouki from mere beads into blades resting at her sides. Having them come with scabbards and a belt was actually very convenient indeed.
Can we go, can we go? Kouki said, shifting in her mind.
"Y-yeah. We can go." She glanced back at Robert and Petra before walking forward again, one hand on one of Kouki's hilts. Hopefully she wouldn't regret this...

"Cass, right? I remember you." From the other training groups; but her voice still sat with him, it was so familiar! Where had he heard it, or something like it before. He was blissfully unaware of what was going on and it was probably for the best anyway.
"No doubt, I'm real good at being a meat shield." Jeremy laughed, brushing off his front-line faction with a laugh of non-chalance. "It'll be good workin' with ya'll." He slurred, giving a half-salute before standing on his own; Jude was making a quick getaway.
"Done and Done." Jeremy agreed with Jude's basic GTFO comment, following on his heels.

Turning to survey the trainee, Dr. H drawled, "Oh, looks like your little friends went on without you. Well, we'll call them your friends, but...hmmm. Must be difficult for you. I can only imagine the sense of loss you must have." He might have continued on in that vein for quite some time, had not a mutter expletive caught his attention. "Clarice?" "It's nothing, sir!" "I see fire, Clarice." "It's the physical manifestation of my passion for Science, sir." The doctor paused, sighed, and returned his attention, "You see what I have to work with, Mr. Brant? Really, these assistants keep me busier than a one armed man in a..." he paused and seemed to consider something, "...well, what do you know? You don't look very busy at all! Let us remedy this, shall we?" Opening up one of the larger crates, he pulled out 3 odd metal boxes. "I've heard some odd things from the initial investigation teams. Something about rotund little ghosts that aren't really ghosts. I'd like you to go in, and catch me at least one. You may have to weaken the creature, but you are well-armed for battle, hmmmm? When the time looks right, just hit the button on the side of device and toss or slide it toward the creature, and it should suck it right in. However, there is a chance of failure, as this is Clarice's design..." "Hey!" "...and not my own." Dr. H went on, ignoring the dire mutterings of his assistant as she went back to minimizing the damage created by her passion. "She did make a handy utility belt to carry them around with, though, so be grateful as, in all honestly, I like to watch the challenged try to...oh pardon. I mean, I love to watch trainees rise to meet a challenge." The OOC Here's Davey's thread! Davey must capture at least one boo. You can summon them from here. Battle Notes: - a boos HP must be between 1-3 to be caught. - 0 hp means the boo has dissipated. - battling a boo does not mean Davey has to try and capture it - if a boo gets captured, their player has the choice to have it escape if they don't want it taken to the hunter camp's temporary lab - Davey can capture up to 3 boos, but can settle for just one When you're done, just send Davey back here. You can also send him back here at any point, outside of battle.

Oh, Davey saw what the doctor had to work with. He also saw what Clarice had to work with. Above all, he saw what he had to work with, and decided that he was clearly the most badly done by of them all. The doctor and Clarice frankly deserved each other.
With a sigh, Davey reached for the utility belt. A small amount of fumbling and he had it on, then went about attaching the strange boxes.
"So, basically," Davey repeated, while glaring at anyone who caught his eye, "go through the device like the others, capture you a ghost and bring it back here. Check."
Hey, anything to get away from this pair for a while. Had he ever complained about Caelius during the VR test? He took it back - all was forgiven, Caelius, just please stop leaving him with this pair.
Davey headed for the device, at least reassured that it was working due to the non-deaths of the other trainees who'd passed through. "I'll be back." Unfortunately.

((belated but better than never~))
Robert was watching his group one by one, summoning their weapons and heading off into the portal. He'd already fallen into the comfortable role of watching their backs, but there was something unnerving about how his friends had this visible camaraderie between themselves and their weapons.
He didn't like it. It left a bad taste in his mouth.
The four of them had already walked in before he'd even considered summoning his weapon, so he plucked a coin out from his pocket, and placed it on his thumbnail, ready to flip.
There were no words exchanged, nothing but a feeling of do not want coming from both of them. But, his finger finally flicked, and the coin flipped up into the air, turning, and turning, and turning until it reached it's apex of flight. Shafts of light broke the surface, and the long and elegant blades of the batleth were silhouetted in the light of its summoning.
He plucked Jezebel from the air before she even finished materializing, and stormed into the portal with a sour face.

Petra had given Madison a reassuring look as she'd looked back at she and Robert, extending her hand a little to ghost over her teammate's lower back as she'd headed into the portal, leaving only the two of them left standing there.
Robert, it seemed, was waiting on her, easily slipping into his role of 'protector.' Giving him a brief look, she turned back towards the portal, reaching up to tug off the pentagram pendant around her neck, the silver chain slipping through her fingers. Before it had completely left her hand, there was a flash of light just as there had been with the other three weapons which had been summoned before hers, revealing the glimmering silver of her mace. Giving the black grip a tight squeeze with one hand, she swung it onto her shoulder just as Jordan had, the weight familiar and comforting. Then, with one last brief look back at Robert, she walked confidently through the portal to meet the Phoenixes on the other side.

[Tikaanis and Gale warping back in from hunter/student battle]
Tika and Gale were now reforming back where it all had begun. The teen had Gale slung over her shoulder. That didn't last too long though, as the weight from Gale was something she could only hold for a little while.
Carefully, Tikaanis laid his knocked out body on the ground and knelt beside him.
"I won't leave you alright kid." And she meant it as it showed in the way she held his hand. Tight.

[ Gale and Tika warping from hunter/student battle ]
He knew he was no longer in that room, with those creatures - that much, at least, was obvious. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, Gale could hear muted sounds, muffled voices.
He wasn't dead - thank heavens - but at the current moment he wasn't very much alive either - a feeling that wasn't quite as pleasant as the relief he felt at not being fully dead.
It was a strange sort of internal confusion, Gale's thoughts twisting and churning until he could no longer make heads or tails of them.
Not that he really could anyway, since he was swimming in some sort of blackness that wasn't really all that bad to be in. It didn't hurt here, at the very least. In fact, it was kind of...nice.
Or maybe he was just going crazy. Either way, Gale Gentry was still lost in the land of unconsciousness, laying motionless beside Tika.

It was only a brief fifteen minutes later following the last of the Hunters that Caelius strode over to the trainees, still wearing his hooded garment. He did not bother to shrug it off as he glanced over at Tikaanis and Gale, gesturing for one of the Hunters on site to help them "move that useless body over to the makeshift infirmary".
Gale was quickly retrieved from Tikaanis's grasp, as as one of the Hunters reassured her that the wound was more psychological than physical: nothing a night's worth of rest would not cure.
"We're not done here yet, trainees. Follow me." Caelius's voice was curt, a little impatient even, as he stalked over to the furthest of the tents in the backyard. OOC Gale is recovering: after 12 OOC hours he is free to come join his group again with recovered health, either in the Tent (being redirected there once conscious) or back in the rooms, basically wherever his group is. - Everyone else involved in the capturing exercise is assumed to be already here and has heard what Caelius has just said. Please make your way and begin roleplaying/interacting with other Hunters/Tihers as you see fit here.

[Exiting to Back Tent]
Gale was taken so there really was no point for Tika to stay at this point. She crossed her arms and watched as he was carried off. It was when he was out of sight did she turn her back and head for the back tent.

This is the biggest sense of deja-vus I have ever had in my life was the first thought that Gale Gentry had upon awakening.
He was lying on his back, in a tent, on a little and somewhat uncomfortable cot - and he was alone. Tika, who he had known was the one who had brought him here in the first place, was gone. There was no one else in the tent, but he could hear voices - muffled, muted voices that were vague and unfamiliar - moving about outside.
He pushed himself upright.
<< It's about time, idiot. >>
"Excuse me for getting stabbed with an ice blade," replied Gale, wincing a bit as he glanced down at his hands and arms. He had no visible injuries, from the looks of things, which was a relief (those flames really had hurt, dammit). Everything seemed back to normal.
"Thank heavens," he muttered, and swung his legs off of the cot.
<< I thought you would never wake up. >>
"Aww, were you concerned about me?" Gale tugged on the ring around his index finger, his voice teasing as he pushed back the tent flap and made his way towards the farthest tent, across the way - it had the most sound coming from it.
<< What in Jack's name would I do that for. >>
"Don't lie, Ginny, you were wooorrriiiieeeedddd."
<< Good grief >>

THE GAUNTLET PART 2It was pure and utter chaos. Or at least, for the most part (as Dr. H seemed to be having the time of their life). Students scrambled left and right, as Hunters simply eyed them, waiting on the kill.
The chains themselves surrounding the Soul Harvester seemed to power down, she shook, and the earth quavered, a tremour that knocked the entire battlefield occupants down to their hands and knees. The efforts of those who had made it past the trainees was paying off. It was just a few more traps a few more and-
- "<******** pests" Caelius snarled and lunged, even as the Soul Harvester screamed in protest - the scythe leapt into the air like a signal - and the ground twisted in the wake of the shockwave, hitting some of the rescuers before they had time to blink. He viciously brought his weapon back up, ready to finish any remaining stragglers -
- and then the Soul Harvester screamed, the very molecules in the air vibrated, the world seemed to turn pure white, everything unbearably bright, the sound a roar echoing in everyone's minds -
- and then a silence as she finally stopped, body loosing its brilliant colour, chains still strung tightly around her.
The entire battlefield was silent, Hunters and Amity students alike half-collapsed, half-lying on the ground. Some of them began stirring: it was far from over.
GAUNTLET ROUND 2 RULES:HALLOWEEN STUDENTS (INVITED BY RP ONLY):-

- If your HP hits 0, you will dissipate regardless of the situation and end up back in home base, where you can return to your rooms accordingly as per rules but you cannot return here.
- You can post more than the requirements, but please keep them minimized as to not overwhelm the GMs.
- Pins are a little wonky, thanks to the Soul Harvester's Fear: you are free to rp out your students Natural form or regular student form (but the rolls and results are still the same). Make sure to clearly mention in your third post what your character looks like (natural or sealed), or a brief idea of it so the Hunters know how to explain it while they are targeting!

IF YOU WERE DISABLING A TRAP LAST POST:
- Roll a 100-sided dice. If you roll less than a 60, you have been INSTANTLY KO'ed. Your character has dissipated and gone back to home base.
