@Inkarnate You're awesome.

The Hunters Club

Saito Ryuuji

Saito cringed and rubbed the bridge of his nose when Akira made his entrance. His profile described him as a delinquent, but Saito was beginning to dread just how much collateral damage this boy was going to cause. He debated going over and chastising him for vandalizing whoever's property that sign was and for throwing the notion of discreet out the window, but Suzue beat him to it. Though she was more worried about his well-being than the damage he was causing, it was at least good to see him getting chastised a bit. He would have to knock the cockiness out of the boy before he caused some real trouble though...

Saito was so lost in his thoughts, that he barely noticed Alice approach him. "Oh, hello there," he said, giving a small chuckle at her enthusiasm. "Glad to see you're still in high spirits after all of that. Me? I'm seventeen, but I've been trained to do this stuff since I was a little kid. Family business and all that. My first adversary was actually the little fella you'll be hunting today." He smirked, but didn't want to reveal too much right off the bat.

It seemed everyone had shown up so he stood up and cleared his throat. "Alright everyone, listen up. Your first assignment as members of the Hunters Club is to enter the woods and capture the creature that's living there. For the record, I know exactly what it is you're dealing with, but we don't always know exactly what we're hunting, so I'm gonna keep you in the dark for now. Oh, and before I forget, there will be one special rule." Saito pointed to his throat. "If you get ink here, you're out. Come meet me back here and wait for the others. Now, let's see..." Saito rubbed his chin and looked all the club members over. "Suzue, you're the captain of this mission. I want you all to work together, but Suzue will have the final say on all strategic decisions, so make sure you listen to her. Happy hunting." With that, Saito sat back down on the bench and took out his newspaper, waiting to see how they would do.

@FurFox It couldn't hurt. I'll look into making one later tonight. They're pretty easy to slap together. Haha.

The Hunters Club

Saito Ryuuji

Yume Park wasn't a particularly bustling location. It was popular among joggers, or people looking for romantic walks alone; people went there for the peace, quiet, and natural serenity that the place offered. The entrance of the park had a fountain and a few benches, but the majority was comprised of paths leading into the woods. The paths were occasionally adorned with lucky statues or bits of flowers, but for the most part, nature was given free reign.

Saito arrived at the park, bag slung over his shoulder, newspaper folded beneath his arm, and smiled when he saw that two club members had already arrived. Their flame manipulator, Nova, was reading a book, presumably waiting for everyone else to arrive, but Saito was particularly happy to see Akio practicing his telekinesis. The boy was concentrating very hard on his task, so much so that he didn't seem to notice Saito walking up to him. Saito was about to chastise him for losing his sense of awareness, but then he saw the task he was working on. The intricate knots, the fine control... it was exactly the kind of training newbies hated doing, and yet here he was doing such a strenuous task of his own accord.

Saito watched Akio practice for a few more minutes before finally speaking up. "You're doing good," he said in a soft voice, hoping not to startle the boy. "I know it doesn't seem like much right now, but refined control like that is the foundation of real power." He smiled and gave Akio a pat on the back. "Stay diligent and you may even save the world one day." He laughed and started heading over to the bench to wait for the others. Akio seemed like a shy kid, so he didn't wanna disturb him too much.

Ayame Masahiro

Ayame listened to Sora's explanation and then shook her head. Things were a bit different for me. Apparently I don't have yokai blood or anything like that. I've just got one inside me... or something. I'm still not completely sure how possession works. But, the weird things didn't start until I met this dying fox. I started having strange dreams and seeing things out of the corner of my eye. I felt like the people around me knew what was going on more than I did. People would just avoid me, but now I guess it was really the fox that they were scared of. I guess it's kind of a relief." It felt strange talking so openly about these things. If she told anyone else, they would just look at her like she was crazy, but apparently people like Sora thought everyone else was crazy for not believing.

Ayame then looked over at Alice who seemed to be following them blindly as she didn't know where the park was. "I know where it is. My mom made me practically memorize the city map before I walked to school. She didn't want me getting lost. You can follow me." And so, Ayame led the others to Yume park, a smile forming on her lips as the four of them slowly became friends. When they finally got there, it seemed they were not the first to arrive. Two of the club members, as well as the president, were already there.

Ayame Masahiro

Ayame packed up her things quickly, and decided to join Aiden's group since he had offered to walk with everyone. It would definitely feel nicer walking with a group of friends -- well, perhaps not quite friends yet -- instead of walking by herself after her first day of school. "I'll join you guys," she said eagerly as she fell in with Alice and Aiden. "So, what do you think of all this?" she said, trying to make a bit of conversation. "I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and it'll all just be a crazy dream." She gave them a friendly smile, and then turned to see Sora running over to catch up with them.

"Oh, Hi Sora! You're coming with us too? I heard you say that your parents already know about this stuff. Does that mean you know what's going on, or are you still reeling from this too?" Ayame gave him a friendly smile as well, but she was also legitimately curious. If he knew about these kinds of things, maybe he'd know what they were going after in the park. There was so much she wanted to know, still, but she didn't want to bombard him with questions. Yet.

Gonna throw up a post tomorrow and have Ayame join you guys at the park.

The Hunters Club

Post is up, and we've got a little starter mission. Feel free to make your way to the park at your own pace. You're free to interact with each other however you want now. No need to wait for every single person to reply if you want to have an interaction.

The Hunters Club

Ayame Masahiro

Ayame flinched as the basketball went flying across the room in a smoldering mess. She looked at the president in awe. If he ever hit a person like that... she shuddered even thinking about it. But, it seemed his demonstration and further explanation had won over some of the more skeptical members. Ayame was certainly convinced that this was legit, but the prospect of fighting monster was still pretty scary to her. However, as her fellow club members went up to grab talismans, she began to feel excited. After performing the instructions, everybody did something amazing. A plume of smoke, a gust of wind, levitating objects. Saito sat at the desk, undaunted by all of this. Were these things seriously normal to him? Either way, after seeing everyone around her, Ayame couldn't hold back any longer. She took a breath, marched up to the desk, and grabbed her talisman.

Kitsune are crafty foxes that can be either benevolent or mischievous. The longer they live, the more power and wisdom they acquire. There are legends of kitsune growing as many as nine tails, denoting its great power. Kitsune use a pale blue flame called foxfire to create illusions and ward off their enemies. It is also possible for kitsune to possess a host...

Is that what happened? Was she possessed by the spirit of that dying fox she saw? And it didn't say what kind of powers she would get from the spirit. Would she wield foxfire? Well, she had the means to find out right in front of her. She pricked her thumb, smeared a drop of her blood in the center of the talisman, and held it to her chest. The room went quiet. She couldn't hear or see anything around her. She would have panicked were it not for the calming warmth blanketing her body. I will protect you. The voice boomed in her head, coming from nowhere in particular, and then just as quickly as it all began, she was back in the classroom watching her classmates experiment with their new powers. She held her hand out in front of her, wondering how she would even go about using her powers. Then she felt a nip at her ankle.

Ayame jumped and looked down at what bit her, and she saw a tiny orange fox looking up at her. Her eyes widened. She stared at the fox; the fox stared at her. "Oh my gosh, he's adorable!" She went to go pick it up, but it nimbly leaped just out of her grasp. "Wait, don't run. Are you the voice I heard? We'll be working together so we should try to get along." She reached out to the fox again, but it hopped to the side. It looked up at Ayame giving her -- was that a smirk -- and then darted about the room, hopping from desk to desk, showing off its speed and agility. Then, it disappeared in a puff of blue smoke. Ayame stared at the now empty air with a bewildered expression.

Saito Ryuuji

Once everyone had a chance to try out their new powers, Saito cleared his throat and called for everyone's attention. "Alright, you guys got a good taste of what you can do. I'm glad to see you're all on board. I think it should be obvious that you are not to use these powers to hurt humans. If you're having trouble controlling them, by all means ask for help, but anyone who deliberately tries to hurt another human with their powers... well, let's just say it won't end well for you." He looked over at Akio, who seemed to have no shortage of questions. "You're free to tell your parents whatever you like. But don't go flaunting your powers needlessly. Basically, just use your heads and try to be discreet. However, there is one more thing I had planned for today." He hopped out of his chair and looked around the room. "You guys are gonna take your powers for a test drive."

"We've let something loose in Yume Park. It's a harmless little thing. It has no interest in hurting anyone. However, it should give you rookies a run for your money. We're gonna go to the park, you guys are gonna try to catch it, and I'm gonna watch. Sound like fun?" He gave a small laugh, packed up his things, and then headed out the door. "I'll meet you guys there," he called over his shoulder as he left.
