Often times missions are sent to the military that they believe are not worth their time. These missions are usually just wealthy elites pulling strings to get some business done. These sorts of missions are usually dangerous, but not too dangerous for students to take. You must deliver some precious cargo, dust barrels, to the outskirts of Vale. Why? That is none of your business. Defeat any Grimm you see, but if there are too many retreat. Protect the dust though as it is incredibly valuable. The drop off point can be found deep into the outskirts of Vale. Start from there and move south west. You will eventually stumble upon a a small opening in the forest with a large pole. Under this pole is a vault where you can store the cargo, and then leave. The Cargo will need to be pulled on a rolling platform by two members.
Level One
You enter the outskirts. Forests and lush greenery is all around. As you hike out into the woods everything seems pleasant, but as expected the birds suddenly stop their cheerful chirping as you get deeper into the woods. You hear growls of Grimm rummaging about in the nearby brush, but nothing leaps out and attack you. The forest is definitely a grim(m) place. The ground beneath the [third teammate to post] collapses under them. They fall into a pit that is at least 15 feet deep, and full of thick sludge.
Help your teammate out to continue on.
Level Two
You continue on after saving your friend. The forest didn't seem like it could get any darker, but it did. The trees grow thicker by every mile, but the map says you should be there soon. That is when you hear it. A high pitched screeching sound. Something is not right, it sounds too artificial to be Grimm. That is when you hear a loud snap! Your cargo platform was being pulled by robes attached to the front. One of them must've been weakened with years of use and finally met its end.
Fix the platform to continue.
Level Three
After a few hundred meters you finally reach the clearing. A massive, blood stained, standard stood in the center of it. You can see a hatch door directly beneath it. After you unload the cargo you must flee back to Beacon as the daylight is dying, and you can hear the sounds of Grimm activity around you ever increasing.

Tsuki had spent the day with her team, making sure not to berate them for the chaos they had been ringed into by the mischievous cheetah faunus. Her more lawful side had thought to at least tell her before they ever did something like that. It was something she would rather know about honestly; not that she would be involved with it though. The day before had also proven to be...interesting as well as relaxing for the tigress to enjoy before such an intense day.
They were all probably in knots, but she had confidence in her team. Even if they didn't have much in themselves. As agreed before they had split-up two hours prior, they would meet up in the courtyard before heading out into the outskirts to the destination that was sent to all of their scroll maps. Tsuki being the leader and the most responsible as it seemed, headed to the Beacon Academy's courtyard after picking up some medical supplies...just in case and arrived about ten minutes ahead of the agreed upon time. The moon was almost full and only few wisps of dark cotton floated in the starry night above. A fortunate night for such a mission.
And of course, she had changed into a more appropriate outfit. Seeing as they were going to be heading into the wilds of the forest, the tigress sported both arm and leg bracers over knee-high leather boots and leather gloves. She wore white shorts under a long-sleeved top under her green and gold tunic and a waist cincher to keep it in place. Long hair was pulled back into a braided bun for now. Her rifle was strapped to her back as her fans and ammo were also snug in the backpack. All-n-all, she felt rather prepared."So, where are the others."This the tigress pondered aloud as her tail swayed slowly."Such a beautiful night,"She thought to herself absently.

Ryker had spent a long day with his team for once, not being able to sneak off for some mischief or good old fashioned flirting. It had been some time since his fun at the flirt off, in his extra credit training with Azura... though not long enough from the day prior with Tsuki and her new friend. That had been an...eventful day to be certain. But it was... oddly nice spending time with his team without really plotting. He didn't have the fun or exhilaration of doing something he was not supposed to, but he enjoyed his time with his team. They spent time relaxing, training, talking, strategizing... it was a lot but at the same time everything passed quickly. And their mission was going to be an interesting one as it was a night mission. 'The start of a good old action movie... or maybe horror...' He thought to himself with excitement initially and then horror. It could either go great or horribly... so his thrill seeker side was excited. Even if he knew the main reason they did this was for Tsuki's semblance... not that he knew what she could actually do with it. He had never seen it before, but then again no one had seen his either after all. So he didn't exactly feel like prying and figured he would see it on this mission anyway.
He had spent the last two hours mostly relaxing and packing his stuff. It was his standard gear pretty much; he saw no need to bring dust honestly, figuring he should save it, and wanted to relax so he would be better prepared for the trip. And the best way to relax was with a nap! So he had set an alarm on his scroll that woke him up about fifteen minutes before the time to arrive where Tsuki had told them. Yawning, and winking the sleep from his eyes, he would get up from bed and get his bag. It had his special soccer ball, darts, and baseball bat. As he kept his scroll in his pocket for easy access. "Alright Astra, Rowan. Best get there before Tsuki kills us all. She wants us there in 10 minutes, so we should have just enough time to walk there." He would say with more energy than he actually had at the moment. He was excited for the mission honestly; if also a bit terrified. It was his first one and who knew what would happen on it. So with that mix between anxiety and excitement he would exit the dorm and head to the meeting place Tsuki sent the location of earlier.
Ryker, despite his excitement, forced himself not to rush to Tsuki. While he could get there pretty fast as a cheetah faunus, he wanted to save his energy for when he really needed it. Never know when you would have to outrun a beowolf after all, since their mission did take them to the outskirts. While it seemed a simple delivery mission, he saw enough movies and cartoons to know something was bound to go wrong. Nothing was ever easy or simple. Which was why he would appear in the courtyard right on time in a relaxed pace, waving to Tsuki as he approached. "Early as always I see. Wouldn't expect anything less from my lovely team leader." He would greet her in a casual flirt and close the gap between them, seeming mostly relaxed despite the excitement he felt on the inside. "A moonlit mission. Never thought you one for setting the stage, but I do have to say I like it. Plus it is a nice night too for it." Ryker would say slightly teasingly, knowing full well the time of mission was for her semblance but feeling like playing around a little. A way to ease the edge for himself and potentially her, though he wasn't sure if she was feeling any. He really wanted to get it underway despite his calm appearance.

Team: TRRA ///// Racoon Faunus///// Student///// Ex-thief What's up?: Meeting up with awesome people~! Where am I?: Outside! Courtyard! Who are my peeps!? Tsuki and Ryker! Ooc; <><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Woot~! Team Terror mission time! How excited Rowan had been he had problems sleeping for 2 days. He was just that happy he could go on a mission~! Something different! Something away from the academy! Away from the city! A little lack of sleep despite his normally punctual sleep patterns would hopefully unfaze him! He needed to get motivated! He needed to get his mind away from troubles. Troubles affecting him even till presently.
Ever since the day three of them had pulled off something exciting... His itching hands of his past had been creeping up on him. So much the secrets were becoming hard to hide.. Too much identity hiding for comfort. For his team he wanted none to know. Since getting to know them they were the diamonds in his life. Telling them his story would surely make them perhaps hate him. It was a fear dragging him down. He had been trying to control himself.. How much change had he stolen this week from other students though? He lost count after the ninth person. Small bits of change no one would miss though! Surely there was no harm in that. Surely that would have appeased his skeleton in the closet? No such luck. So far no one knew. No one could know. There was hope this mission would have cure him of his one man problem.
The whole morning Rowan had spent it packing up for the mission. Rykers' alarm had been extremely helpful waking him up from slumber, at least having a few minutes to get his hair brushed and himself to at least smell better then usual. The change he had stolen, mixed with the little he had... He had spent it on an item called "Deodorant." The smell was a bit strong for his nose, but he had been bearing it for the courtesy of his teammates. "Plenty of time~!This time of the day is perfect!! I want to use my night vision in the woods!! Think we will see a deer? Think the school would let me bring one here!? I will tame him... Or her! I will call them Phillip!! Maybe McAntler! Some sort of fun fun funniness!" With a chattering laughter, Rowan would double-check the condition of his naginata, polishing both blades on it. He proceeded to focus on the rest of his things, envisioning himself on top a deer in the woods frolicking through the trees. He only knew about deer from other faunus talk. The had antlers! Hooves.... Never had he seen one. His vision of them was a nevermore sized creature with a tiny head and huge antlers. This was indeed about to be a fun mission for him. He was honestly confused as to why his leader arranged for night time... He had no complaints! After all the night was truly his home. He merely hoped he would be able to use his abilities~! "Smoke bombs check!.. inventory... Got the light and camera! Binoculars and all our basic needs should ya drop stuff~!" He could see the whole team was as excited as he, and he was raring to go. Rowan had awaited the other two for their preparedness, settling down onto his bed to take a few minutes to relax. It was only at the point both were good to go that he would proceed to the meeting point. -----------------------
"Hi Tsuki~!!!" Making way to the courtyard, Rowan had energy to his steps. He was all too happy once everyone seemed to be preparing with the same enthusiasm, he himself practically hopping in place. Having no idea what Ryker and Tsuki were speaking of on the matters of her setting the stage, he counted it as a faunus thing for the team in a whole. Having no idea the ability Tsuki possessed, that was another secret. It was at least was a mystery. Rowan could barely contain himself. "It is one awesome night! Look at all of them stars! Do you think they may be laughing at us because we must look like ants? Oh oh oh! What do we do if we have to use the bathroom through this!? In the woods is it like in the city? Gotta pee let it free??? Oh oh oh! Will we see normal animals!? I told Ryker and Astra I wanted to ride a deer!!!"

Astra enjoyed the time with her team. Sure they weren't doing things, but she had like 5 raves that day. At least what she called raves. She had never been to an actual race before and she really wanted to go to one! It would be so much fun!
Tsuki split off from the team like 2 hours before. What did they have to prepare? They were just gona stuff all the things in her mouth. Which was now clean thanks to Rowan! No more smelly meat was in there! Astra had gotten him a piece of cake as a thank you, and totally not because she threatened to eat one on his bed if he didn't comply.
Oh, maybe there was one thing she had to do. She had to empty out her mouth, so now there was a doll house, completely set up with dolls and furniture on the floor in the room. Astra hastily stuffed all the socks into a drawer, cause they were all totally hers! She scooped everything out of the room, leaving it clean. She felt kind of empty inside, Oh well!
Rowan then to rest up, and not party with Astra. However, that didn't stop her from watching his very long tail go back and forth with his thoughts. Wait...if Ryker or Tsuki saw this, would they pounce? Her own tail would twitch back and forth. She would then whisper to Rowan "We shoudl see if Ryker and Tuski will follow our tails if be move them on the ground!" Her hushed voice was excited.
Then they traveled to the site that they were supposed to meet to pick up the goods. Oh dust, were they gangster's now?! Oh, this was gona be so cool! Oh, maybe if she did a good job, she could even pet Tuski! She wanted to see how fluffy the woman was. It was going to be so awesome! She would then turn to Rowan. "I hope we do see some animals!" She would reply. Sure they had a mission, but where was the fun in life if you couldn't enjoy the small things.

☆☽Miya Tsukiko Tora☾☆ ☆═━If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cub?━═☆
The young tigress did not seem to wait long before she would turn to look towards her tall teammate. Tsuki merely nodded."Well someone has to be,"She replied with a smile. Her tail swayed slowly still as she tried to contain her excitement. Her ice-blue eyes fell on Ryker for a little while longer as she listened to his comment of the night."Well, lets hope it stays that way,"She prayed.
Mya's attention then turned to the approaching raccoon faunus with a friendly smile. His excitement only made her more excited as well. She would then sigh as she remembered the seriousness of what could happen. Tsuki would also wave to Astra as she made it into the tigress' sight. Seeing as they were all there, she would take a deep breath and smile slightly."I am sure we will see many animals, but we must respect and allow them to stay where they belong,"She replied, gently refusing the idea of a pet deer."It would not do to take an animal from their home."She reasoned then turned to all of them with a calm expression.
As she had spoken, she took two metal bands from her backpack and slipped one on each wrist."The mission seems easy enough as a dust delivery, but remember there's still Grimm out there. So keep your guard up. I know all of us will do great and watch out for one another,"Tsuki then turned and started walking towards the outskirts."I just hope I'm right,"She thought taking out one of her folded war fans as she led the way to the pick-up destination.

As she replied that someone had to be with a smile, Ryker's smile only grew slightly. It was such a Tsuki thing to do in his mind at least. But he had to agree someone had to do it. And it sure as well wasn't going to be him. 'Glad I didn't end up as leader, too much responsibility.' He thought to himself contently. Sure he was a talker, instigator, mastermind in heists... but he preferred not being a leader. Close second in command was something more suited to his tastes. If he filled that role in the team, he wasn't quite sure. He hoped to at least, and was going to try and do so in an unofficial capacity. 'Though if my heists would not be allowed... Am I a traitor?' He wondered to himself, though quickly dismissed the thought. Sure, he aligned the more susceptible team members to his not so pure plans... but he wouldn't out them or betray them if he had the option. Hence why he tried covering Rowan's a** the last time Tsuki was going to murder them both for him getting into her stuff. But he did love his team, as chaotic and dangerous they were. He was content just to wait in relative peace with Tsuki till the others arrived, though he did not miss the fact that her tail was saying a lot. Even if it was only slowly. His eyes had subconsciously rested on her tail because of the swaying movement.
He was quickly interrupted from his focus on her tail as he heard the loud voice of Rowan greeting Tsuki. Turning his gaze to him he saw him as energetic as ever. And of course he launched off into talking a mile a minute as Ryker tried to make sense of the craziness that came from his mouth. 'Never a dull moment with them, that is for sure.' He thought to himself amusedly as he heard about peeing in the wild, and about the deer riding he wanted. He certainly had lofty goals for the evening, but Ryker loved the craziness from him. He could only chuckle a bit in response to all that, and decided he would only comment about the peeing. "If you need to pee you're going to need to find a tree to go to." He would simply say in response to him, assuming Rowan knew probably not to pee too far or close to the group. It was then Astra would appear as well and say she would like to see animals as well. 'Well at least Tsuki said no to the pet deer idea. I don't want to have to worry about cleaning up after that kind of creature.' He thought to himself with slight relief. Or any other woodland critter for that matter, as he did not want to find out first hand if they were naturally house trained.
It was then that it appeared they would be getting down to business now that they were all here. Tsuki taking out two metal bands and putting them on and seemed about to say something. As she mentioned how the mission seemed easy but to be wary of Grimm Ryker smiled slightly. Even as she said she knew they would do great and have each others backs. "If it is anything like the movies it won't be that simple, but we can handle it. Just make sure to yell real loud if you see a grimm and don't play the hero; I want some of the spotlight too." Ryker would say at first serious. He knew things, from movies, were never simple and always screwed up somehow. So he just expected it honestly, unless he was given a reason not to. As for the second part... it was pretty obvious he was saying it in jest. It was likely no surprise to the team Ryker was not a fighter by most stretches of the word, and it was more meant for the others to rely on their teammates rather than just themselves. Ryker would follow after Tsuki to the edge of the outskirts where the dust barrels were placed, seeing a decent number of them. He wondered why he saw no guards around them there if they were worried about them, but figured they must have people watching from afar just in case. Smiling to the rest of his team, he would look to the forest of the outskirts then back at the dust barrels. "Well we're burning moon light. Don't know about you guys but I wouldn't mind getting back a bit before first light; wouldn't mind getting a bit of sleep before dawn after all. Need any help loading Astra?" He would say, eager to get underway with the mission. He didn't know exactly how Grimm worked at night, and wanted to go through this as quickly as possible. He was only half kidding about getting sleep after all this was said and done. And seeing as Astra was their number one storage, he wanted to have the dust barrels safely in there. She was pretty much made for this mission, and it would be turning from a transport to escort mission pretty much. If she said she needed help, he would do so. His hands subconsciously went to his pockets as he felt something there. 'Huh? What is- ohhh.' He thought to himself confused at first before realizing what it was. He had found Tsuki's old sock Astra had stolen the first day they met and had yet to return it. Mostly because his mind was wrestling with somehow using it for a plot or as a gift back to her... or both. He was thinking of potentially studying it today regardless though on the off chance it would be useful in the future. Hand lightly brushing it he would feel the texture, to study that part lightly at least. It did take him forever to learn how to become something after all.

Team: TRRA ///// Racoon Faunus///// Student///// Ex-thief What's up?: Meeting up with awesome people~! Where am I?: Outside! Courtyard! Who are my peeps!? Tsuki and Ryker! Ooc; <><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Astra's idea about tail dragging had been taken too literally, as Rowan had changed his pace. Stuck between his wishes to stay moving and to actually keep still in order for him to behave himself... Both options were in high demand. Imagining his team leader and Ryker following his fluffy ringtail though... Why wouldn't they follow? It was an awesome tail good for both looks AND sleep!! There was no fun on having it get so dirty though! He would of course be the team player, having agreed to such interesting tactics. ”Perhaps in the woods we can try this out!!!” Snickering under his breath, the raccoon would pay attention once more to the team, missing the small talk between the two. His attention had been set towards them only after his daydream of frolicking through the woods had changed in his head to the made up deer literally joining him on future heists. Oh! He wanted the deer even more now!! A Phillip!! Well, the horns would be a bit much… So what about a hornless one!? He could help remove the horns as they were detachable right? His little cloud of imagination struck down into flames by Tsuki’s advice about wildlife. For a moment he was saddened by the idea, his ear flattening, even about to pout, but the moment didn’t last, as he pipped back up again. ”Oh! Makes sense!! I am sad I cannot have a Phillip, but that’s okay!! Chattering with an idea, he would kneel to the ground a moment, setting the book bag down to rummage through stuff. He would smile bright up at Astra, almost giggling as he had pulled a camera out of the bag. ”Don’cha worry!!! We see any animals I can take photos for us to look at and pretty our room with! In fact…” With a little bit of aim with the camera, he only just managed to catch a photo of Astra smiling. ”I can start the photos now~!! Smile here Tsuki!! Ah!!” Before Rowan would take another photo, his jaw dropped at Ryker. What!!! ”Pee at a tree!? B-but the trees don’t need to see me relieving myself against them!!! What if a squirrel sees me relieving and thinks I is food!?!? GASP…. There will be flowers present!! Tsuki and Astra don’t need to remotely be hearing such words!! That could make someone uncomfortable!! Noooo!!! I will hold it!! That is it! Or I’ll go when you go and it will make things less awkward around the trees!!! Yeah!! I’ll do it that way then. We can make the trees embarrassed together!!” Taking a photo of Ryker then while he had been mid-speaking, Rowan only just remembered this was their mission and not a field trip! Sobering up on the theatrics, he would tilt his head to the side, awed by the mission they were stuck with. Delivery and grimm swatting!! Oh joy!! ”Click!” A photo of Tsuki with the tiger faunus putting metal bands on her wrists had been taken. He wanted to capture every moment for this!! ”This doesn’t sound so bad! I am sure we will all do sweetalicious together!” It had only been to the point had they neared the outskirts towards their destination had Rowan been a bit surprised. What he had expected to be but a suitcase had ended up being barrels… Barrels!? Those looked SUPER heavy!! Would Astra be alright with those in her mouth!? Her semblance was amazing, but Rowan knew almost nothing about it, despite him having been in her mouth himself once. That was a fun day for him! The cake had been awesome~. He couldn’t focus on the thoughts of cake at this moment!! Adjusting his glasses, he cleared his throat, finally putting the confounding camera away after a few more photos of everyone. ”I can also help as well in some way if you need another set of hands~! The sooner we can get this all done the more time we can have to go look for animals too~!!! Will you be alright with them barrels though Astra? They won’t be too heavy??”

Astra followed everyone. Tuski said they had to be worried about Grimm. "It's ok! We are the hero's in the story, and we will always win!" She would exclaim. Was it her first time fighting grimm that weren't on the farm? Yeah, but this was fine. Sure, she didn't have the turret style machine gun that was on top of the barn, that had the high explosive rounds. Oh, the rounds made the heads of the grimm explode in showers of blood. Sure, it made the field's nasty, but as the second best shot, she got to shoot the grimm, and her brother's had to clean it up. She missed 'splody. She would have taken it with her if she could have.
Back to now, she kept her head on a swivel. No Grimm to be seen. However, they saw the barrels. However, a conversation was happening. She turned to look at Ryker and Rowan. Peeing on a tree? That wasn't possible was it? She would look to Tsuki. "Wouldn't they pee in their pants if they tried that?" She would tilt her head. The look in her eyes was one that was confused. Everyone had the same bits right? Right?!
She would then go to the barrels. "I can't see in my room, so if we want the best organization, then we will need to work together!" She would then get ready to open up her portal. When the boys started to get them ready, she would open up her portal, leaving the trolley behind.

☆☽Miya Tsukiko Tora☾☆ ☆═━If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cub?━═☆
Tsuki would look to her teammates as they had made it to the pick-up area in the outskirts. Her thoughts of her teammates did not change, even if they were quite silly. Shaking her head at Astra's comment she giggled softly."We shall discuss that another time...Or possibly with Yuki,"She answered, mumbling the last part. She was unaware of Rowan taking pictures until she turned around to look over her shoulder. Icy-blue eyes looked to the ten barrels that rested on the rolling platform of a cart, and then to her petite squirrel teammate as the others offered to help her load."They should be alright,"She told herself.
Taking two daggers from the front pocket of her backpack, the young tigress sighed and took to scouting the clearing's perimeters. Luckily, as a faunus, they would not be hindered by lack of sun's light. She preferred the moonlight, personally. As the boys assisted Astra with the weighty barrels of dusty, Tsuki carefully scanned the forest outside of the ten-feet diameter of the clearing for any sign of trouble, keeping a calm demeanor as she did so.
Once they were ready and the barrels were in...wherever Astra kept them, she would walk back over to her fellow teammates. After they were done putting the barrels in the safe location, she headed over to the tall cheetah, the rifle at her back was removed with care as she then held it out to him."Here, there's a scope, I want you to use it to keep an eye out for threats. If you need to, then shoot,"She advised her teammate. Though, when telling her that he didn't know how to handle a rifle, she would sigh."I have to remember that not everyone trained with weapons from the age of 8."She smiled softly and, making sure the barrel pointed Away from any of their teammates, showed him what he needed to do. Once she was sure he understood how to aim, shoot and reload the weapon, she left him to check on their treasurer.
Temporarily sheathing the daggers against the metal bands that seemed to act as magnets, Miya walked over to the girl. Smiling kindly, she stroked the girl's head lightly, careful not to harm her teammate."Ready for some excitement, Astra?"Tsuki inquired before looking around for their other energetic companion."Oh dear gods, where is Rowan?!"Her icy-blue eyes would scan the clearing once again with a bit of concern.

Hearing Astra's declaration of them being the heroes of the story and that they would always win made him smile. It was a stark contrast to Tsuki's tone in her warning. While Ryker was not on the same line of optimism as Astra was in terms of never being defeated, he wouldn't comment on it. He wanted her and the others to feel like they could do this. Sure, overconfidence could be a bad thing at times. But it was a strong motivator at the same time. It had helped lift his spirits a little from the nervousness he felt. Because one thing he hadn't told any of them was that he had never fought a Grimm in his life. He hadn't found himself in many fights either. Ryker was the type that used words over actions most times. Or every time unless he had no choice. So if he never fought people... he for sure never fought Grimm. Its why his weaponry was so...simple. 'A baseball bat, a soccer ball (admittedly a cool one), and throwing darts... All normal things you can have without necessarily being a weapon.' He silently did an inventory of his own stuff in his mind, and almost comparing it to most others he had seen at Beacon. He had the most...plain and simple weapons, except his soccer ball. And to most his soccer ball didn't even seem a weapon. So... he needed Astra's optimism for his own confidence if they had to fight Grimm.
Then Rowan chimed in...and boy was that something. The raccoon was as excitable as ever. He at least accepted the fact he couldn't have a deer pet, though seemed to have named it Philip. A name Ryker found more hilarious by how plain it was rather than an exaggerated name would have been. But the part that made Ryker chuckle the most was him pulling out a camera and begin taking pictures. Ryker had no clue Rowan even had a camera like that, but just found it all the funnier seeing him catch a picture of Astra with it. He wasn't sure why but he just did. He was even about to take one of Tsuki before he heard what Ryker had said about peeing on a tree... To which Ryker just got this partially amazed expression of how far Rowan was taking this. 'Unfair to the tree and squirrels going for his man bits...' Ryker wasn't sure if he was being serious or joking... but had a feeling the wild raccoon was being fully serious. He even mentioned peeing at the same time to make the trees embarrassed together. Ryker didn't have time to prepare for a picture from his onslaught of words, being caught in a surprised expression by everything Rowan said. He tried to think of a response... but found himself unable to. 'How do you even respond to this?' He wondered to himself before he just laughed softly. It was all too ridiculous to even attempt words or anything but.
Getting onto more serious matters though, Rowan had volunteered to help load the barrels in Astra as well. Looking to see ten dust barrels, all very heavy seeming, Ryker sighed. This was not going to be easy. He thought briefly on how to do it. One was to both go in and out carrying it, but it would take a bit and he had never been in Astra before. He had no idea how it worked to even fit in there. However Rowan had experience. Looking to Rowan he would smile as an idea came to mind. "Alright Rowan, I got a plan. You go inside and wait while I move barrels to Astra's mouth. Then you get them as they come in so we can set them down nicely. We have limited space in there from what i've heard, so we got to fit them." Ryker could say, and with Rowans along with Astra's consent the plan would begin in motion. While Ryker had been eaten before... it was strange to see it happen to someone else. As Astra quite literally just ate Rowan... Ryker hoping he was ok. And that her semblance didn't involve cloning whatever she ate while killing the original. But... Seeing as he had done so willingly and they had a job to do, Ryker would begin loading the barrels into Astra's mouth... It was not fun nor easy. He was not the strongest person so he struggled a bit to move all ten, but after a decent amount of time he finally found himself finished. Thinking for a second as he saw what they were supposed to use to pull the barrels with, he would look to Astra. "Don't let him out quite yet. I need to find out with Tsuki what we want to do with the trolley or if we need anything else in there." He would say simply and in a neutral tone. He meant nothing malicious for Rowan, but didn't want to waste time.
"Alright Tsuki. the barrels are loaded!" Ryker called out, not having seen where exactly Tsuki went to while they were loading. She had been scouting, at least he thought so with her absence, to make sure they weren't ambushed as they loaded Astra up. Tsuki, unlike Ryker, was not the type to slack off. Soon enough, the beautiful tigress returned to them and carefully took the rifle on her back...before handing it to him? He was confused for a moment on if she wanted him to expect it or something... before telling him to use it to scout because of its scope and shoot with it. "Uhh Tsuki... I've never used a gun before." He would say genuinely and looking confused on how to even grab it, though knowing to keep his fingers away from the trigger. He had never touched a gun in his life, going back to his nature of almost never fighting because he liked solving things with words. As she smiled softly, she would begin showing him how to hold, aim and shoot the gun. Him experimentally taking one shot with it, not expecting that level of kickback as it almost flew from his hands as Tsuki laughed. He glared a little before taking aim again and bracing himself this time... Managing to brace himself for the recoil that it was a lot less worse and his shot was fairly accurate. He also learned about what part was the safety and what had it off/on. Which, after his experimental fire, he made sure safety was on. Smiling to her, he would speak. "Thank you Tsuki." He was being genuine in his thanks. He at least had the basics of using a gun now in mind. As Ryker messed with it a little more as she went to Astra, his mind pre-occupied with this deadly machinery, he entirely forgot about Rowan. He looked through the scope experimentally while Tsuki was with Astra to see what he could; it being mostly trees though.

Team: TRRA ///// Racoon Faunus///// Student///// Ex-thief What's up?: Arranging barrels in Astra's semblance! Where am I?: Outside! Courtyard! Who are my peeps!? Tsuki and Ryker! Ooc; <><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Hahahah~! Did he just render RYKER speechless!? The man who could flings words out quick and have a comeback every time? That of course, had surprised Rowan, and he was tempted to point it out but resisted like the good boy he was to his friends. "Is something wrong?" Having no idea how weird he had been sounding, the faunus only awaited a response from Ryker. When Astra spoke up, there was a clear miscommunication happening that made it clear he said something she was still to innocent minded to learn about. Uh oh! She didn't know these things and here he was speaking of it!? For shame! Redness would take over his face entirely by this notion, jaw dropping open. uh oh! Quick quick!! Rowan had to play it off fast, bursting into a flustered amount of laughter, facepalming the side of his head. "Of course! Yes!! I am wrong! My bad! We don't stand no! How silly of me! Eh Ryker!? We crouch like them right!? RIGHT? ahahahha~!!! Of course the trees would still feel bad either way but I guess I am the only standing person and made a booboo!! They'll be relieved once we get some grimm down for the count! Save the trees! Save the trees!!" Little did the group know Rowan had never truly seen a real grimm in his life. There was no combat experience under his belt that could show he knew how to fight one. His only experiences were against people, and majority of that had been fleeing from those he had stolen from before they could see him! He had the multi-purpose naginata, and the smoke bombs to assist in the most dire of need. He was geared, he was a pro with boomerangs, and he was agile... There was no telling though how well he would do against a grimm.
All joking aside, Rowan kept himself occupied towards the barrels. They wanted to work together and work together they shall. "I can be on the receiving end to pull in the barrels!" As the only one of the bunch who had been in Astra's semblance before, volunteering again was no problem. When the barrels had began descending into her portal, Rowan jumped in with them. The minute he had entered he could see with his nightvision she still had everything empty aside from him and the barrels. One by one they had come in, and Rowan did his best to move them into a properly even bundle. Phew!! They were heavier than they looked! It only had taken a few minutes to at least adjust it all, before he would plop down to a sit to catch his breath. "All set!!!" Though no one would hear him, Rowan didn't care much. He would sit back against a barrel, wiping his forehead, pausing when he grazed the scar over his his eyebrow. "Ick." With a shudder, he used the nearest barrel as a support to help him to his feet, quickly exiting the moment he was able. It was a mater of waiting for Astra to give him that chance. They were probably wondering if he were sleeping in there!!

Astra tilted her head. What did Tsuki mean by they had to talk about it later? She wanted to talk about it now. However, she knew that soon she would have to keep her mouth open, otherwise things wouldn't be loaded. "Can later be when we are moving to the drop off point?!" She wanted to know what Rowan meant by scaring them. Then Rowan turned red. Why was Rowan blushing? Then he said that they had to do the same thing as girls. That's what she thought it was like. She was still curious as to why he was blushing though.
Then Rowan would present himself in front of Astra. She would put her hand in front of her mouth, and the portal would open. She beckoned him to come inside of her. On the outside, it looked like he was jumping into her mouth. However, she didn't swallow. He was there one moment, and gone the next moment. Then she would get as close to the trolley as she could. They would then load the barrels in. It must have looked Surreal. If Ryker stopped half way through loading one, he would be able to see the fact that they were shrinking down, and then going in, right in front of her face.
After the first 3 barrels went in, she would stack one on top of the others, Rowan would see her hand be giant compared to him. She placed it on top, and they eventually loaded them all up. When Ryker said that they should find Tsuki, and ask about the trolley, Astra would get behind it, and start to push it. She wasn't that strong, but it was empty, and she finally felt full! Like, had too much turkey dinner full. She actually wanted to nap, but no, that wasn't a good idea.
As they walked, she would open up the portal every few minutes, she didn't want Rowan to die! He was her bestest buddy. Oh my goodness! They should make friendship bracelets! Wait, they would need beads for that...hmmm....Then they got to Tsuki, and Ryker was handed a gun. Wait, was she giving out shooty presents?! She wanted one too! Tsuki would then touch her head, and give her light pets. Omg, pets! Astra couldn't help but wiggle in happiness. "I'm ready for anything!" she would exclaim out loud. They were the heroes afterall, they were gona kick some asses, and take names. Wait, did grimm have names? Astra was curious, she would have to ask the Grimm studies teacher.

☆☽Miya Tsukiko Tora☾☆ ☆═━If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cub?━═☆
Tsuki smiled, glad she could help her friend in firing a gun. She just hoped she made the right choice. Only time would tell, she figured."Welcome. Just don't shoot anyone but Grimm,"She told him before walking away. Though she kind of worried that the practice shots would get some unwanted attention, she also knew they were needed.
Walking up to Astra, the tigress was glad to see her teammate so filled to the brim with positivity. It was almost infectious, if not for the sobering thought of what Could happen."We need to remain focused on our goal,"She reminded herself and looked around with concern before smiling to her squirrel companion. Now...Where the ******** was the racoon??"Um, where's Rowan,"Miya inquired, worry visible in her voice as she looked around. She then turned to look at the trolley where the barrels once were then to the outline of the clearing."Goddammit that boy is in so much trouble if he ran off."She scowled, even if her expression was one of upset, if actuality she was just really worried for her teammate. Taking time to help their racoon teammate out of the squirrel's portal with Ryker and Astra's help, Tsuki would smile and dust Rowan off."We shall move on foot. Keep your eyes open. Rowan, up front with me, Astra in the center. And Ryker, take the rear,"Tsuki instructed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As their leader, she just hoped she was doing the right thing. As a fighter, she was ready for almost anything. The moon shined above them, thankfully lighting their path through the forest. After some time of traveling deeper, she felt a chill down her spine."Something doesn't feel right,"the tigress thought, icy-blue eyes absently scanning their surroundings as she placed her daggers in either hand.

Ryker gave a sheepish smile when she said not to shoot anyone but Grimm. While part of him wanted to say of course he wouldn't... he was already worried he may shoot himself, even if he was getting the hang of it a little. Part of him wished he had gone to the gun ranges before instead of just practicing with darts. He would do his best to not shoot anyone though. As Ryker heard Astra exclaim that she was ready for anything, he couldn't help but smile even though he was not looking towards the other two. While Tsuki was more a realist, if that was even a word, the rest of the team was very much pure optimism. Almost like kid level of being invincible as far as he could tell. It was why they needed Tsuki as leader to balance that out; because Ryker himself was in the middle. He knew what he was and wasn't capable of... Which when it came to combat, he knew he was pretty screwed. It also gave him some relief that Tsuki was very good at combat of almost any form, as he felt she would be there to help keep them safe. Hearing Astra talk about using a gun to blow up Grimm also gave him a bit of a confidence boost for their odds. Rowan he honestly had no clue, but he figured he would at least be better than himself. So with a team that seemed overall good at combat... He felt Astra's infectious optimism and welcomed it. 'Worst comes to worst, Rowan can talk the Grimm to confusion while the others go behind them and finish them off.' Ryker thought to himself with slight mischief. Rowan had completely lost Ryker earlier when he mentioned about peeing like girls, as Ryker had almost fallen over laughing.
Ryker was broken from his internal thoughts as he heard Tsuki ask where Rowan was... as Ryker got an embarrassed look on his face, however he was facing away from them. But... He didn't completely erase it from his face as he turned to look back at those two, making sure to have the safety on the gun and have it aimed at the ground. "Well... He is sort of still in Astra's portal... We don't need to put anything in there?" Ryker would ask before being told no... and proceeded to help in getting Rowan out of Astra's room. It thankfully was a very quick thing to do, as Ryker felt slight guilt for forgetting him... But pushed the thoughts from his mind as Tsuki helped Rowan and laid out how they would travel. Apparently Ryker was taking up the rear. He was confused if he was supposed to look behind them or in front for a second... before figuring since the others were faunus anyway he should probably focus on looking behind them. With the occasional glance up front, mostly because he did not want to risk aiming the gun in anyone's general direction. A mischievous thought did pop into his mind as he thought of his position within the group. 'Rowan is up front... both the girls are in front of me... Most importantly, Tsuki is in front of me.' Thought to himself, only being about a yard or so behind them. He could see her lovely tail beneath her green outfit...and with the skirt, could roughly see the outline of something else that was a little distracting. If attractive. He did steal the occasional glance there, but for the most part did his job of watching around and behind them. The most distracting thing was not even her rear; it was more her tail. He wasn't sure why but he was easily captivated by it. And oddly only feline tails; Astra's had no such effect on him.
As time progressed, their path being lit by moonlight, Ryker felt completely relaxed with his team. So far he had seen nothing with his eyes or through the scope, so he did not feel anxiety or anything. But seeing Tsuki pull out her daggers in either hand made him feel like he missed something. "What's wrong Tsuki?" He whispered quietly to her, eyes now darting all around them. He had the gun ready if anything were to appear, his ease disturbed by Tsuki's own preparation. He had no clue if she saw or noticed anything, but given he was not the combat person he trusted there could be a reason for it. Then again, he may be getting worked up for no reason. Either way, he liked to live so he would scan around them (carefully keeping the gun pointed away from his team) for any sign of danger.
