Vale Eastern Wall
Rheia checked Werkzeug, cycling between multiple different blade forms on the way over. A tanto knife, a katana, and a pike were all made, then ejected outside of the airship, before they reached their destination.
As they landed Rheia realized that there were some border guards - equipped with an electic complement of weapons. Some laid down suppressing fire with machine guns; others used assault rifles to try and place precision bursts, and she spotted at least one person utilizing a fairly hefty battle rifle to put holes through some of the young Grimm, dropping them in a single shot.
She constructed a bow, with an extra-thick arrow, then ran her hand across the shaft. As she did, she glowed orange with Aura as her Semblance activated; where her hand ran, the arrow glowed white-hot.
"There we go. Nothing like the smell of a frag round to put a kick in your morning commute," she quietly quipped to herself.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."A Little While Earlier...
Rheia looked over towards Hope and Ayers, then headed over.
"My teammates aren't responding to my texts and you need an extra man. Or... woman, as the case may be. I offer my services," she made aware.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Another Children's Card-Game. BAH.
Blinking in surprise at Imuka holding out the cookie, the air-head hesitated before giving a cheerful 'Thanks' as a reply before sitting down.
He wasn't about to speak up about the message. ...He didn't really get one. And the other from Hope, well, that was probably deleted to oblivion.
"Uh...I'm probably gonna sound like an idiot for askin', but..."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Highlands
Glen recognized the Tartan of the Clansmen in front of him immediately. Just his luck that he'd been summoned to aid a rival clan instead of a neutral one (Though being banished from his own clan meant he wasn't exactly going to be welcome anywhere). To those around him, Glen quietly uttered "Be on your guard, but keep your hands away from your weapons an' try tae avoid sudden movements if you can, dinnae ken if they've got friends hidin' around us." before stepping towards the three.
Approaching the trio with his arms crossed across his chest, Glen began addressing them in his native tongue <"Well met, Warriors of Clan Glendwyr. We are here to aid you with this Grimm problem of yours, assuming our aid is welcome in your lands."> Glen did his best to keep his tone even and respectful as he spoke, doing dealings with an enemy clan did not sit well with him. <"Please excuse my companions, they do not speak our tongue. However, I am able to translate if you so desire.">
Right now: Damn it, you're late
" Incoming text from Remus Cerulean."
"Huh?" Lucas said, opening up the scroll and reading the message.
They've been waiting how long? There's no way I've been up more than half an hour...
He pulled up the clock app on his Scroll.
"The time is 9:01 AM."
"Shit!" Lucas yelled out, quickly turning around and running towards the meeting area.
A few minutes later: Ducking Fone.
Soon enough, Lucas made it to the others.
"I'm sorry Remus," Lucas said between attempts to catch his breath. "I don't know how I managed to lose track of two hours..."
Novus 1: fite
Come on, fight back, you bastard.
Ai advanced a few steps forward and leapt into a Superman punch, flashy and highly telegraphed, but with the weight of her Semblance-enhanced upper body behind it. If that failed, she would simply try to use that weight to land on him—grabbing his shoulders—and attempt to knee him in the gut and topple him over.
Novus 3: Morning
Ai shrugged. "Whatever you're comfortable with," she said.
Novus 3: Mia's Birthday
After leaving the hallway outside Goodwitch's office, Ai went straight to the dorm kitchen to check on the cake. Luckily, it hadn't burned. Five minutes to let it cool and application of frosting later, Ai sent Charisse a scroll message:
cake's ready! come and get it! :)
Novus 3: Northern Invasion
In preparation for the mission, Ai dressed appropriately for the cold northern Winter climate in a thicker hooded coat instead of the lighter vest she normally wore into combat situations. She disembarked from the airship, taking a gust of cold wind to the face, and pulled her hood up.
"No, this is fine. I'm not cold," she said, stubbornly. She looked at Charisse. "Hold me, though."
Novus 3:Highlands/Northern Invasion
Al was used to much colder climates than ones present in the highlands, and so he was pretty much unaffected with its temperatures. Retaining a calm expression and posture. He moved out of the airship and waited for his teammates to do the same before speaking to all of them.
"Alright, all three of you, we don't want hostilities with the locals, so keep your mouth shut and don't do anything stupid, don't get in fights over anything, just keep your weapons down, let Glen do the talking, and when we're needed to fight Grimm be prepared to fight. Got it?"

Biiiiiiiiiiirdssssss
Medus scratched the back of his head, yawning in boredom. "Yeah, yeah, we got it. No need to tell us how to do our damn jobs, Tin Man." The rocker replied somewhat irritably. He shifted his focus over to Ieria, not waiting for a response from Pius.
"First one to spot one wins, Loser pays for dinner?" He offered as a gamble to his girlfriend.

-dramatic music ensues-What Am I Doing Here?
Hope's mood was... lackluster.
Not only were her plans seemingly smashed apart, she ended up on a one specific mission that she didn't want to go to. Ayers' presence was a consolation price at best.
...it's like fate itself was trying to fuck with her. Granted, the very moment she became an Anomaly - something very much undesirable - Sophie departed. She was also seeing Yun less. She did try to fix her troubles with her teammates, but... well, seemed like there was no middle ground for her.
"Seems to be." She tried to smile, but the expression came out as somewhat strained. "...just hoped we can take another mission. Well, no matter." With a sigh she tapped in the combination, then once Anima manifested itself changed into the car form. "How about making this into a competition? It's 1500 Lien for a guy each, so... whoever kills the most Grimm gets the other 700, how about that?" Honestly, she was just trying to lighten the mood, suppress the urge to just blindly charge in and start slaughtering the Grimm left and right.
Twin Bird Strike
"Ummm...we shouldn't try to turn this into a competition..." Alexia spoke up.
"We can't really afford to let our guards down. I mean, these are completely new Grimm after all..."
Alexia drew Serena from its place, nodding at Pius to show she understood his orders.
As for Pius scanning the area, nothing yet.
"Should we ascend?"
Northern Invasion
The smiling warrior looked at his father for a second. The old man nodded stiffly. The smiling man then stepped forward to greet Glen.
<"Well met, ah, mighty Hunters.">
Those last words had a mocking tone to it.
<"We are honored to have your help, loathe as we are to admit it, the monsters are, shall we say too much for us in our weakened state.">
<"Only because those Whorple bastards killed so many of our warriors!"> spat out the other twin.
The smiling man ignored his brother. <"I am Finn. This is my father Fergus and my brother Don. We welcome you. Although we will not allow your flying machine to near our village. Come with us, the chief wishes to speak to you and the beasts are almost upon us.">
A Grimm Reminder
As soon as the students landed, an entire pack of Beowolves split off from the main group and headed straight for them, snarling and baring their fangs.
There was a good thirty of them...and an Alpha as well.
Highlands
"Alright, alright, Alfred.", Stormer said to his team leader. He looked on at Glen talking to the other Highlanders, curious as to what they were saying.
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Remington Mood Shift
"Tch." Hope didn't feel like playing with these Grimm. Steadily, she drew Deliverance and primed it at the group before firing it, an explosive projectile heading the pack's way. Shortly after she sped forward, the launcher now in its mace form, ready to bash the survivors' heads in.
GRIMM ASSAULT IN PROGRESS
As the airship touched down, Rheia saw at least thirty Grimm split off from the group and head straight for it. She looked at Hope. "If you're willing to part with 700 Lien..." was the only thing she said before she jumped out of the ship, aimed the bow at the Alpha, and fired.
The loosed arrow sailed forwards. It would likely strike the Alpha if it took no action to dodge - and then the shaft would explode, showering both it and any Grimm nearby in superheated plastic shards.
Waiting until Deliverance's explosive went off she then formed a halberd with Werkzeug and waited for the Grimm to impale themselves on her weapon.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp.""Fite"
His jaw taking the brunt of the punch, Glen staggered backwards a few feet before checking to make sure he hadn't lost any teeth and his jaw wasn't broken. With that out of the way, Glen once again beckoned for his second to come at him, this time growling "C'mon, you can do better'n that!"
Highlands
Biting his tongue to keep himself from saying anything stupid, Glen simply nodded in response to the trio before falling back and rejoining his allies.
"They want us tae meet with their chieftain an' they're expectin' another attack any minute now, so let's hurry along after them." Said Glen, addressing both teams "Any questions before we get there?"
Mia's Birthday
The message had barely registered on Charisse's phone before she came running to the kitchen. She then let Mia take over during the actual "party" itself.
Northern Invasion
Charisse was slightly less bundled up than Ai was, though she also regretted it immensely. Having such a high metabolism as she did meant that she also radiated more body heat than normal, which was good for Ai but a horrible experience for the faunus in question.
These highlanders didn't particularly look like Glen, which disappointed her. If they did, she would have probably still wanted to punch their leader, who she assumed would have been Glen's dad. Sure, he had mentioned that that would be a horrible course of action, but she still wanted to do it.
"Yeah, just one question: These guys aren't your family, right?"
Just to make sure.

"Gimme your pants.. and now your other pants"FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHERE JACK WAS!
Jack lowered his ax into an aiming position, took a moment, and fired. Out of the top of the ax launched a streak of crimson light, exploding into a ball of fire, hopefully incinerating at least a handful, he swung the ax around so he could hold it and charged forward to meet the beowolves.
Good to be backSilvia landed as gracefully she she could and then scanned the area.

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Novus 1 fite
Ai leapt off of Glen and landed only a few paces back. She paused to face him with a look of at first suspicion, then indignation. She quickly flared up.
"Fine!"
She attacked with increased fervor this time, doubling the Aura behind her last attack, feinting with a leg kick not intended to hit, then going for a very heavy high kick to the chest. The nerves were gone now, replaced by fiery anger.
Novus 3 Birthday
They held the party in the kitchen, just by the counter. Ai drew up the curtains and switched off all the lights. It wasn't exactly dark with a little light filtering in through the gaps, but the candles on the birthday cake were the brightest light source in the room. Ai had a stool waiting for Mia right in front of the cake.
"On the upside of this just being the three of us," she said, "you get almost all of this cake to yourself."
Novus 3 Invasion
Ai huddled up closer to Charisse and shoved her hands into the pockets of her coat. She thought she caught the word Whorple somewhere in that exchange. It would be just their luck if these guys were clan enemies of the Whorples.
"Did they say bad things about us?" she said, quietly. "It sounded like they said bad things about us."

Fishing for teamates
"N-No...", It was at this point the fox nervously scooted away from the bird she had just offered a cookie, her previously friendly demenor turning to pinned ears. "Y-You will just get us killed... I-I cant heal death C-Cant do machinery on a mission involving LUNA, h-hurts himself all the time... n-not belle", while most of her mumbling was hard to hear, that last one made a tear form in her eyes, and for her to look significantly sader, one could begin to question if replacing her partner with some one she did not know, the same day said partner left was really the best thing for the poor girls mental state.
Birds
"Duck Hunt"
"Sylvia, Yun, please join spotters duty," Rufus rumbled, "Sechs, you're with me. If we spot one airborne, you're taking a ride on the vorpal sword till I get you on its back." He turned to Sechs, rubbing his chin, high up enough he could rub his explosive side burns, "Unless you wouldn't mind us trading weapons and you try to land me on the beast back." He growled and choked a laugh through his nose, showing he much preferred to be the one to get up close and personal.

Go Fishing for Teamates
Imuka went to draw her next card but stopped as her hand hovered over them, "W-We can't draw something like this out all day, and I have already sent multiple messages out.... 2 hours ago.... I-I.... umm hate to suggest this...." she began to trail off before she could suggest they look for replacements.
She did her best to ignore the obvious replacement standing right next to her, aside from offering him one of the cookies she has made about an hour ago for snacks.
