The message was short and to the point:

(( Feel free to RP your hunter arriving~ This will be a rush mission and will close, preventing additional participants at some point. What'll it be? IT IS A MYSTERY~~~

GM Prompt Summary:
Page 3 - Trainees have been tasked to form groups of 3-5 members. Mists have been asked to fill in for a Sun/Moon/Life/Death hunter as opposed to standing in for their own faction. Participants can still join and form groups, however the thread will be closed to groups and participants at 11:59 pm Sunday. Those that get their group formed early will get to start early on the mission. ))

Page 7 - OOC Announcement. Check it out~

Page 9 - Part 2 of the mission. Please read it carefully, it contains instructions as to how to properly prep for the mission. The winning group will receive $1,000 dollars cash EACH in addition to some vacation time IF they can pull the mission off successfully...

Page 11 - The trainees discover a printed letter from Aria on top of the research notes they gathered on Day One. Huh. You could've done that? Seriously?! MAN what the hell is it with Hunter Leads being so heartless and making everything difficult?

Page 18. The day's finally come, time to head out on mission! ...Or not. Really, it's your choice. Better take a gander at page 18 and see what's up, yeah?

Tedan blinked slightly when his phone went off, rolling over from where he'd been lounging in bed and picking the thing up to check it. Emergency...? Oh great, this couldn't be good.

He popped up from the bed and grabbed his coat, then headed out the door at a quick jog toward the indicated room. Once there, he went on inside and took a seat to wait for whoever else might show up.

Robert rolled over his phone when it beeped. It was his body's way of saying NO I WILL NOT ANSWER YOU I AM SLEEPY GO AWAY.

But his mind had other plans.

When he fished it out of the crevice of his armpit, not only did it smell, but it screamed EMERGENCY at him. He groaned and rolled out of bed, throwing clothes on him without opening his eyes, dumping his jacket over his head, and zombie-walking off to the meeting room.

When he arrived, he was wearing a t-shirt that said 'Momma Says Knock You Out', two different colored socks, and his jacket was still covering his head like Cornholio. He slumped into a chair and hid under the jacket until somebody started yelling.

...Blocked? Candace stared at the message for twenty seconds before finally sighing and grabbing her scarf and coat after drying her hands of the balm she had been given to use on her legs. Fine, fine. Emergency from a blocked sender? What was even going on?

She was fixing her scarf around her neck when she walked in and looked around. Same old room, same old group..ugh. She sneered at the sight of Robert and walked right past him without a second glance. "Hello, Tedan." She greeted him pleasantly, sitting down and snuggling into her new gold-trimmed coat. So much nicer than the hoodie style one she'd had before.

The tell tale sound of a phone beeping wasn't new to Leon as his phone came to life on the nearly empty white desk and flashed with its text. The boxer took his sweet time climbing out from the lotus position on his bed and sauntered over to the device and gave it a half awake look through, once again expecting it to be a stupid joke from Marcus or the extended ramblings of one Deryk hopped up on coffee and writing in text speak.

What was new about it wasn't the rather direct and curt message, but the fact that the name of whomever it came from was blocked. And it wasn't as if there were any telemarketers calling or texting him out here. Not to mention one that new of the room numbers in this hidden compound. it was an emergency and Leon rushed to get ready to head down there, his dorm door flew open as the hunter trainee began a brisk walk over to the nearby dorm.

"Wait a minute.... 217?" He muttered aloud when he got there. "When has there ever been a debriefing in front of a dorm?" he asked to the few that were already there. "Hey Candace, Robert, Tedan" the last name took some time for the life hunter to get out, but still did none the less.

Robert turned to the side, giving Candace his back even as she passed. He shuddered and mumbled something about a cold, herpes infested breeze passing by.

When he heard Leon's voice, however, his hand jutted out from the curl of his body, flat in the air. "Sup bro," He greeted the man, waiting for a high five.

Wilson had been fiddling with his Rubik’s Cube when his phone rang. He set the toy cube aside so he could reach into his back pockets and pull out the cellphone. The first thing he noticed was the all caps. Emergency? As he stood up to grab his coat and scarf, he noticed the mysterious lack of a sender. He quizzically stared at the blocked sender before shrugging and flipping the phone shut.

When he arrived there were already a couple other trainees. Recognizing Tedan, he walked over and waved. “Hey.” He glanced at Candace before giving her a second glance. Blinking, he took in her new coat. “You weren’t always wearing that coat before, right? Nice coat though, nonetheless.” Wilson couldn’t remember since he’d only talked with her once.

Emergency!

Deryk didn't waste any time upon receiving the text. As quickly as he could, he made his way to the designated room, pausing for a moment as he saw a small handful of people inside.

"Hey guys," he greeted before making his way over by Leon and Robert.

Oh, Candace! Isn't it delightful? This room is just full of your FAVORITE people! Haha! Atropos as cackling at poor Candace's misfortune as Leon walked in and greeted her. "Hello, Leon." She heard something coming from Robert but couldn't make out what was being said. Must not have been anything intelligent. Rolling her eyes, Candace finally looked genuinely pleasant when Wilson walked in.

Ah! He noticed her coat~! Candace giggled and preened much like a proud peacock. "Why thank you! I was given a promotion~! One step closer to a full fledged hunter." She said with a proud smile, picking at the cuff of her sleeve. So excited! She still felt happy whenever she looked at her own coat! She waved to Deryk, sitting up a little straighter in her seat. This was more like it! More people she didn't dislike.

Leon had to stop mid step and was taken aback with how Robert came to the debriefing, and gave the guy a simple high five as he walked past. "nothing much Robert, just came to see what the situation was." he mused aloud and kept silent about the potential illegal substance use that Robert might have been doing beforehand. "You feeling alright Robert?" he asked skeptically and took a closer look at the fellow life squads members pupils. "You feel any sort of hunger pangs or anything?"

Thankfully his sudden interest in the guy's health risks were pushed away when Deryk entered as well and raised a hand to greet the lad. "Hey Deryk, you were free to huh?"

He didn't want to insult the only girl that was in there that didn't even feel polite enough to not gloat about her "accomplishments". It didn't leave much doubt in his mind that Candace was given a promotion not for teamwork but for some other form of.......... one on one collaboration.

The message came just as Gale was laying down for an afternoon nap. Groaning in dismay, he pushed himself up and reached over to the bedside table, glancing at the screen.

...blocked?

It was unusual; the numbers from Caelius, Julie, and Doctor H, even Clarice, were logged into Gale's phone - so who on earth would blocked be from?

He didn't wait to wonder. Instead he swung his legs off the bed, grabbed his coat, and left the room briskly, making his way to the room.

There were already a few others when he got there - Robert, the Hunter whose name Gale remembered to be Tedan, Leon, Deryk, Wilson, and Candace. He gave them all a nod in greeting, giving Candace a slight, vague smile and a "nice coat" as he passed, slipping into the nearest chair and leaning back with his arms folded across his chest, one leg thrown over the other.

Blocked sender? Now that was weird. Jordan studied his phone. Well, to be on this network it had to be a Hunter phone, that much he could assume. Probably someone high-ranked, if they were texting for a mission. Unless it was a prank. Ugh. At any rate, he wasn't going to find out just by sitting here. He pulled his boots and coat on and headed out.

Curiosity killed the hazcat, Ferros commented idly.

Yeah, yeah. You want to know what it is just as bad as I do, I can feel it. There was a small crowd gathering in the room already. In spite of the coat pulled over his head, Robert was unmistakable; Jordan went to stand next to him, propping his elbow on Robert's head. "Hey, Leon," he said, nodding to the boxer.

Tedan couldn't help but snort quietly at Robert's attire, eyeing the mismatched socks mostly. Looked like someone had actually been asleep when the message came through.

He lifted a hand to wave to Candace, Leon and Wilson as well. "Looks like a bunch of us got woken up by that thing, huh?" he murmured. He also noticed that a couple of them had what looked like new coats or something. Promotions...? That was pretty cool.

"Chipmunk~!" Candace grinned, admiring his own fresh new coat. How lovely! He got a promotion as well? "Congratulations to you as well!" Who said Candace couldn't be a team player?

She heard Jordan's voice and paused a moment out of reflex. No! No. It's okay. They're cool now. It's all good. Nothing to worry about. He isn't going to punch you in the face, Candace. You two discussed this! "Hey, Jordan." See? Candace could be nice. Silly men judging her when she hadn't done anything wrong.

Lately.

At Tedan's words Candace gave a slight nod. "Mm. I was already awake but...blocked sender, huh? I wonder who it could be..." She frowned and checked her phone again, reading the message over a second time.

Hearing another familiar voice, Wilson turned around and smiled at Derryk. He briefly waved at the fellow death trainee. “Hey.”

He kept smiling, genuinely pleased for the woman as he listened to Candace. “A promotion! Sweet. That means you can take more difficult missions and such, right? I’m sure that’ll be exciting.” Wilson appeared quite interested by her new coat. It was slightly more ornate compared to his own, mainly at the sleeves and trimmings. “It’s a very nice coat. Hopefully it won’t get too dirtied or tattered—that would be a real shame.”

Wilson shook his head at Tedan. “Woken up by the message you mean? Not really. I was already awake too.” At the mention of the blocked sender, he nodded his head and leaned over to stare at Candace's phone rather than pull out his own. "Yeah, kind of weird. Usually there's a name, but this time there isn't."
