The town was most likely a place very few trainees (if any) ventured. It was mostly abandoned with houses in various stages of decay, neglected and often overrun and attacked by either invading forces or by escaped creatures from the labs. There were some hunters who chose to live here, as noted by the better-looking houses. Some of them had broken windows, others were unfortunate enough to have missing walls that one could peer into and loot if they so desired.

Aria stood at the entrance to the town, looking at it thoughtfully. "Considering the Mist Lounge is in the main building, nyan," she began as the Mist trainees showed up, gesturing towards the town. "I think it'd be easier if we picked a house and moved it there, nyan. That'd give us a kitchen and one or two bathrooms, plus more privacy nyan. Only downside is... well, look at this, nyan."

"It's kind of isolated, and not very easy to defend, nyan. But it might be a nice place to go in order to get away from everything else going on, nyan. If you guys are interested in helping, we'll need to pick a suitable place, nyan. It'll need to be big enough for anyone wanting to drop in, and be something Lance can get around in since the house'll either go under his name or mine, nyan." As much as she liked her room, there were times when her neighbor's karaoke parties were too much for even her and her earbuds.

Aria grinned and gave them a shrug. "Well! Let's see how many we can clear out before we run out of nyan-power, nyan~!"
PostPosted: Tue May 08, 2012 9:04 pm


Location: Town
Amount to be Cleared:
School: 33
Houses: 15 each <-- We are focusing on HOUSES.
Until then:
The school may not be used for hunter's personal and group projects. Alas your basketball in the gym, ping-pong matches, and musical aspirations.
Houses are cleared individually. Full hunters do have the option of living in a house as opposed to a dorm room, though it is notably less safe to live in the town. Those being promoted to full hunter will need to clear out a house for themselves in order to live there.



Prompt Rolls

Roll 1d100

1: Grey feathers fall down and a terrible cry echoes throughout the area. A miniature version of the Phoenix swoops down, agitating the fog wherever it goes.
Boss Stats
HP: 99
Auto Damage: 10 (hit or miss)
Extra: Use a -8 modifier. For every missed attack, another insanity monster spawns inside the area. You do not need to fight this spawn, but instead ADD it to the area's tally in this thread.

2-10: You find the body of a fallen hunter, their weapon tablet lies on the ground but crumbles as you reach for it. The pieces quickly shift and expand into a large, insane creature. It's form is not very solid, and more cloud-like than anything.
Boss Stats
HP: 50
Auto Damage: 5 (hit or miss)
Extra: because of it's form, use a -8 modifier for accuracy! This does not count with charged attacks!

11-32: A small, semi-solid creature snatches at you with painful claws and teeth.
Mob Stats
HP: 5
Auto Damage: 2 (hit or miss)

33: A very solid form attacks you, it's species is recognizable despite the desaturated form and flowing eyes. It's attacks are powerful and relentless!
Boss Stats
HP: 99
Auto Damage: 10 (hit or miss)

34-65: A large, semi-solid creature barrels into you! It's slow-moving but a bit more powerful than the smaller ones.
Mob Stats
HP: 10
Auto Damage: 3 (hit or miss)

66: A bunch of smaller, semi-solid forms attack you in a large group!
Boss Stats
HP: 66 (collective health)

67-89: Nothing happens.

90-98: A small, fairly solid creature swiftly begins attacking you!
Mob Stats
HP: 15
Auto Damage: 5 (hit or miss)

99: A creature that skillfully shifts from solid to fog-like, it's incredibly dangerous and difficult to handle.
Boss Stats
HP: 99
Auto Damage: 10 (hit or miss)
Extra: because of it's skill with its form, use a -8 modifier for accuracy! This does not count with charged attacks!

100: Grey feathers fall down and a terrible cry echoes throughout the area. A miniature version of the Phoenix swoops down, agitating the fog wherever it goes.
Boss Stats
HP: 99
Auto Damage: 10 (hit or miss)
Extra: Use a -8 modifier. For every missed attack, another insanity monster spawns inside the area. You do not need to fight this spawn, but instead ADD it to the area's tally in this thread.

Cat-Ear Bonus!

Go here to read the RP! You can still join in even if you weren't in the previous RP! If you grabbed a pair of cat ears, then here's your effect:

YOU FEEL A SURGE OF ENERGY AND


- If you haven't made a post yet you can still join in! Just have your character pick up a headband!

- BBZZZT. You feel a strange odd tingling sensation coming from the headband, but otherwise, thankfully, as you look at your hands and feet, etc etc, you haven't turned into a cat, or fox. Or a pikachu. Phew.

- You also for some reason, feel oddly empowered, holy crap! Your attacks are now hitting for 2x the damage. All attacks now have no modifiers (that means you don't subtract 6 or 8, you just roll the 2d8/10 and apply direct damage to forehead)

- Okay, well the bad news is that. Well, its just a minor side effect really. Really. Its just see, whenever you open your mouth to speak, at the end of each of your sentences, you feel a strange and uncontrollable urge to tack a single word at the end of each of your sentences. It seems to vary from person to person. Oh yeah, and the um, headbands seem to be stuck. Very well clamped on. Whoops.

Mist: - You feel an urge to tack on "Nyan~!" to the end of all your sentences. Kind of cutely. Something a fully grown adult male should never have to say really




THROUGH THE POWER OF NYAN
All Mist hunters participating have been restored to full HP, nyan!

Their walkie-talkies began to crackle. "Yo! Ladiesss, nyan~" Lance's voice purred over the air. "Just got the word that the main building's cleared, nyan! Headbands'll last for 24 hours, and after that... No idea, taichou's singing drowned it out. More importantly? Time's ticking, so if you ladies wanna kick some a**, the time to do it is now, nyan~ I'll be heading down there shortly, so start countin' kills! I'll see if I can wrangle up something nice for the one who's killed the most too, nyan~"


UPDATE!
OOC


- For an IC 24 hours (ooc 24 hours as well!) trainees who have completed this mission can choose to continue to clear mobs in other areas. They are still under the influence of the headband (2x damage, no modifier minus) until after the 24 hours are over (from this post). After that for an entire IC day the headband will fall off and well, lets say if you're a trainee and not used to Runic Fear-crunching effects, all you will feel is extreme excruciating pain and agony, similar to having cramps ten times over or perhaps being kicked in the cajones repeatedly for the next twenty-four hours. After that you will feel extremely sick, nauseus, tired, and, well, kind of feeble. Oh yeah, your attack power is cut in half, and your HP is halved for the next IC 48 hours following.


So let's get to clearing! 8D

Candace was quick to follow Aria, especially when it came with the promise of seeing the town. She hadn't even seen the town during her trial, she had never been there before. What was it like? Was it nice at all? Was it cool? Was it a ghost town?

..It was a ghost town.

She was somewhat unsurprised by what she saw, though at the same time a little..confused. Why protect this place?

She gave Aria a look like she was crazy. Move..the lounge here? That did have its advantages. More rooms, more space, more privacy. She looked out toward the town again.

"...I'm in, nyaaaa~." Candace grinned, trying to ignore the nyan desire still. She scratched at her ear, her hand curled much like a cat's paw. Well, s**t. That was awkward. "Nyaaaa, should we look for a two-floored one or a single floor?" Oh, wait. Stupid question. Lance couldn't get upstairs. "Let's see if we can find a nice one that's not crumbling, nyan!" This would be fun!

Lance's voice crackled over the radio, and it only took a couple seconds for Candace to nearly double over with laughter. It was adorable and high-pitched like any respectable cat girl, just accept it. "NyaaaaaaHAHAHA thank you, Lance~!" She sobered up a little at that promise, however. Something nice? Candace liked something nice! She grinned. "Yes please, nyan~!"

Allan's singing might have been stuck in Cass's head forever as it was, and she was quite happily following along after Aria as they headed out towards the town. As sad as it was to say, Cass had never actually been out in the town, but the knowledge that there were houses to clear out?

There were houses hunters could live in? She might have just kirakira'd a bit. Yes, it was a ways out there, but it was very secret agent special, and - "If we get a house out here for the Mist Lounge, I can get a coffee machine that won't be in danger of Jerry, nyan~!" she sounded very excited about this idea. A coffee machine that would live!

"I think a house would be a great idea, nyan~! A bit more work, nyan~ but trainees could do defensive rounds for it for practice and training, nyan~ Plus some of us older Hunters could help out on occasion too, nyan~. It'd be nice, Nyan~"

Even if Cass was half-eying houses thinking I want one. Little did she know......

"I'm ready and raring to go, Miss Aria, nyan~!" she pumped both fists, nearly throwing Nicodemus before the voice in her head went UM, EXCUSE ME STOP THAT, HOLD ON, AND DON'T HIT ANYBODY. "We will clear out all the houses, Nyan~! Then we can all pick out a good house for us and Lance and Nyaaaaaaaaaaaan~!!!!!"

Cass was about as excited about a house as she'd been about Beau, but that was the nice thing about being young.

As the walkie talkies crackled with Lance's voice, Cass grinned. "A contest, Nyan~? Sounds like fun!"

Aria considered Candace's question, the bell on her headband jingling as she nodded towards her. "Wellll~ A second-story house would give us more room, nyan~ But it needs to have a door for Lance to get in and out. And have stuff downstairs he can use too, nyan. He's going to be the one there most of the time, nyan~"

She should feel guilty about moving Lance out here. It was her idea; he went with it. It wasn't like she was pushing him away or anything after their -- Focus, nyan! Now's not the time to be thinking about that, she told herself sternly, taking a deep breath to steady herself.

And then Lance had to radio in. Her face flushed darker on its own accord, prompting her to turn away from her kittens to fan her face. God damn it, nyan.

"Your enthusiasm is great, nyan!" She told Cass, grinning at her. "But there's a few hundred houses, nyan~ I'm not sure how many we can clear out, but we should try to find one that'll fit our needs, nyan! It'll double as a sort of Mist-house for all of us too, for when we want to get away, nyan. Also, a couple houses here are owned by other hunters, so if it's locked it means someone's living there, nyan~ Please don't kick down doors or break into any locked houses, nyan!"

Wait. Did she teach them how to do those yet? Aria shifted uncomfortably. She didn't remember. "W-well anyway, nyan! Let's go!" She turned and headed into the town, walking quickly in order to retreat from that particular topic.

"Nyaaa~! Come on, I haven't even picked a house to go into yet!" Aria meowed, summoning her flamethrower and preparing for battle.

Candace heard that squeal and her attention immediately turned to Cass. She grinned again, moving to drape her arms over Cass' shoulders from behind and rest her head on top of the younger girl's. "Let's go, Cass! Nyan! We have this in the bag, nyan!" She'd keep Aria's advice in mind. Space, things that would be good for Lance. Kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms. If there was no easily accessible entrance they could make one.

She couldn't help but laugh. Poor coffee machine! "Good coffee, too nyan~!" Not whatever s**t was in the cafeteria. She'd provide quality coffee. It would be good and--why was Aria turning around? Hmmmm? What was this? Did Lance say something? Candace raised a brow, making a curious little purring sound as she tilted her head to one side. The little bell jingled. "Aria, nyan~? Are you okay, nyan~?" She sounded more amused than actually concerned. Kawaiiiiii~!

..Where the ******** did that come from.

Candace moved off Cass and hummed cheerfully as she practically skipped along to follow Aria, pausing when the woman mentioned breaking into locked houses. Wait..did that mean...she knew how? She gave the woman a curious look, seeming to ponder something. It'd be handy to know how to get into a locked place undetected, especially with a certain challenge Lance had given her. "And how do we get into a locked place anyway, nyan~? That sounds like useful information to have, nyan!" She'd really like to learn that, yes.

Candace didn't get much more time to wonder, the creature came at them and she actually...hissed. Like a cat.

Why did she hiss. She wasn't sure why.

Nevertheless she summoned Atropos and ran in, jumping and just..slicing the thing in half.

It was very dead. Candace grinned. "One down, nyan~!"

"Well, we'll just have to make it a few houses less than that then, nyan! Not going into locked houses will be a good start. I still need to learn to pick locks, nyan~" Cass frowned. "Alright, Candace! Let's get started, nyan! If we can't do all the houses, we can clear out at least some of them, nyan~!" Really, she couldn't help but stay enthusiastic even when there were all the houses to clear out and then some.

She leaned back against the older trainee as she draped over her, grinning. Physical contact? Cass was not shy in the least! "Yes, Nyan~! Real Coffee, Nyan!" Cass had never really been a coffee girl, preferring Soda and milk over it, but it was nice to have in the morning before a mission. She'd gotten the original one for that reason, and well...... Her appreciation had been short lived.

Still, it looked like it was immediately time to be jumping to work, as Candace literally already did. She grinned as she cut through the thing in a nice clean swoop. "Very nice, nyan~! If we keep up at this pace we'll clear out a place or two in no time, nyan~!"

However, she'd barely opened the door to one of the unlocked houses whe- "********!!!!!!" and then a grey Phoenix flew out of it and right into Cass.

"I'm fine I really am nyan!" Aria quickly reassured them, waving them off. She was fine! She wasn't thinking about what Lance said to her over the possibly public walkie-talkie signal earlier or anything like that and -- nope, there went her face again. If Allan was here, he'd probably sling an arm over her shoulder and pinch a cheek leering about how "ka~wa~iiiiiiiiiii!" she was being, and how she was finally getting out of being tsun tsun and into the dere dere. And then shove more pocky at her. Speaking of...

"W-well then," Aria began, glancing over her shoulder at her "kittens." "If we find a locked door, I'll show you how to unlock it, nyan~ But some of these places are the homes of other hunters, nyan. Do you want people breaking into where you live, nyan?" She shrugged. "I can show you once, but that'll be it, okay nyan?"

Aria reached into her coat pocket, withdrawing her hand quickly when the phoenix appeared. "Gear up, girls! We've got ourselves a new playmate, nyan~"

A lock picking lesson? Awesome! Candace grinned, clapping her hands and squealing with excitement. "Yes please, nyan~! We don't need to go inside, but it'd be nice to see how it's done, nyan! Will you give a more extensive lesson later, nyan~?"

A phoenix interrupted their bonding moment. <******** phoenixes.

"On it, nyan~!" Candace called out, waiting for the flames to clear enough for her to hurry in and strike at the phoenix. It wasn't the hardest hit she'd ever made, in fact it...almost felt like her average strength. That was just disappointing. Grrrrrr!

"I feel like this thing is stalking us, nyaaaaaaaan! Molly found one of these earlier, too! Nyan!"

Even after being hit full force by the thing SUDDENLY FLYING OUT OF NOWHERE, Cass seemed to recover rather quickly, brushing the flames off of her shield with a brush of one hand as she stepped back to give herself some space, bringing up her firing hand and pulling the trigger firmly three times.

She needed to take care to aim. Guns didn't do more damage based on how beefy her arms were, she needed to focus. It was a hard balance between the two halves of Nicodemus, but the Phoenix seemed to at least take some decent damage from the trio of shots. Still, she knew she'd have to fire better than that.

"Man, Nyan~! Today is just a day for birds, nyan!" Cass seemed to pout, "Sure are a lot of these lil' guys around, nyan~." But that just meant they'd have to kick its trash and show it why the Mist Division was the best division. Okay, maybe she was really biased about that, but still. Best Division Ever. She had all her division pride.

She'd wear a 'Mist and Proud' t-shirt if they made them.

Aria maneuvered until it was very unlikely that she would hit either trainee with her attack. Trigger pulled, and the gray phoenix now had some lovely blue flames to go with it. "Nyan! After we get this all cleared up, I'd like to have an open meeting," Aria explained, stepping back to give the other two more room to attack. "I haven't been that good of a leader, nyan, and I bet a lot of you have questions you haven't found answers to~"

"That's not true, nyan~! I bet nobody in the other divisions have gone duck hunting with their Division Leader, Nyan! I think you're doing great, I've learned lots, Nyan!" Cass said as she made a point to duck from the blue flames of Aria's weapon. After all, being crispy was bad!

Sure, Nicodemus would have covered her to some extent, but probably not for too much of that! It looked painful, just the way it was probably meant to be. In fact, Cass definitely wanted to contribute to that as she opened fire with a few more shots again - which fortunately seemed to ring a bit more true than her last set had.

Good! She'd hopefully made a dent in it this time.

"But all bonding time is good bonding time, Nyan~!" she chimed. "There's never such thing as too much time together with us girls, right, nyan~?"

She laughed. "That is true! Not many hunters like to hunt, nyan. Most like to throw things in the microwave and cook them, nyan!" Like herself. Aria preferred to have her food right when she was hungry rather than wait to cook things. Not to mention Deus wasn't exactly the best place to do some hunting, and when you factor in how long hunting could take... She was quite spoiled by how "instant" those "instant meals" were. Though lately, she could pass on the MRE's that were the only thing to eat on island.

Wait. Main building was cleared, right? They could get the kitchen ba- no, wait. Said kitchen was probably being mobbed right now. Damn!

"Nope! But they probably will complain once we have all of you help us move into a house, nyan~" Aria replied cheerfully. "I guess it's a good thing we've gotten a few men in our division to do the heavy lifting, nya!"

And the phoenix went up in flames. Thankfully unlike its non-Insane version, it didn't come back. Aria lifted her flamethrower and blew the tip as if it was a smoking gun. "Good work, girls! One down, nyan~ Go ahead and pick a house, we'll see if it's unlocked nyan~"

Cass laughed. "I kinda liked it though, nyan~. Might have been because the kitchen is probably still broken though, nyan." Though Cass would have confessed that she too liked the easy quick meals a microwave would supply, but knowing how to hunt was good. It made her feel all rugged and authentic.

Still, Cass took a moment to survey the houses that were within immediate view, thinking first on what would likely make the best 'base' for them. They needed something that would probably have a bigger first floor than second floor, and maybe no steps up to the door itself. Didn't matter how it looked on the outside.

They could always paint the house a bright neon obnoxious green if they wanted to later or something.

She headed on down the way to survey the houses to the best of her ability until she found something that at least looked suitable from the house build point of view, seeming to frown at the little front step, but never the less taking a moment to find a suitable piece of wood to drag over to makeshift a ramp out of. Just in case they'd end up needing Lance to come in and snoop as well.

"Let's see if this looks any good on the inside, nyan!" she suggested as she jiggled the doorhandle Hm. It was locked. But a glance in one of the windows seemed obvious that nobody actually lived in the house, though. It looked like nobody had been in there in quite some time, in fact.
