Mission Name: Missing
Suggested Level: Apprentice-Mage
Format: Free Form (Note that you WILL be skipped if you do not post much)
Sign-Up 1.________ 2.________ 3.________ (When you sign up, please also post yourself in the Briefing Room.)
Scenario: In Renshire, England, recent reports of disappearances have been circulating. At first the Academy brushed it off, probably just some killer on the loose... But when Sebastian Arete, the local Academy agent there, reported magic in the air the Academy swiftly mobilized.
Now, the Academy has decided to send down three students to investigate the problem, before sending down the Tracers to clean it up. Your (If you Join) Mission is to rendezvous with Sebastian and investigate what is going on.

OOC: Sorry for the sloppier than usual post, I had to rush cause I gotta go super super soon.
Sign-Up 1. Seeker 2.________ 3.________
There he was, at the briefing room ready for his first mission to accomplish. There wasn't much of a motive toward him signing up, but he heard something about these missions being able to prove to be worth something later on. With that said, it was only natural that he jumped onto the chance to give it a shot. He was new, he needed to get himself accustomed to the new ways. With that said, there was no reason for Seeker not to join. Perhaps he would get in the way due to this, but he found himself to be quite a resourceful person when it came to handling situations.
He was wearing his white muscle shirt and ripped up jeans, no weapons on him as usual. He had on his glasses of course, and had a cloth inside his pants pocket in case he needed to clean them for whatever reason. With that said, he was ready to go, he just needed to find out who would be there with him.

A mission?...That was new to Tristan. Apparently the school accepted missions regarding to magic and the preservation of its secrecy...interesting enough. Eh go ahead...it's not like we have any thing better to do. Igneus offered mentally, eying the sign up sheet. Nodding in agreement, the hunter put his name down.
"Now to find the briefing room." He said to himself. Igneus took off to look for a directory, and Tristan looked the other way. Tristan hadn't paid too much attention to detail when he was looking about the school though he couldn't explain why. Found it...This way. The black dragon informed as he zoomed past the hunters head. Tristan broke into a trot to keep up, following his partner.
When they rounded the last turn to the breifing room, Igneus had landed on Tristan's shoulder and the pair entered. Tristan saw a desk and a couple of seats and settled in the one farthest to the right. There he waited for others participating in the mission and or the one who would be leading the mission.

Sign-Up 1. Seeker 2. Tristan Knightrhode 3. Train Volaere
Arm still in a sling but, ready to get into the nitty gritty of things Train Volaere the Rocket Alchemist was ready to help out with everything that he could. Wearing a jumpsuit that had been tooled to be an excellent survival outfit in any terrain while molding into public looks (Ghost in the Shell 2nd GIG Uniforms for Russian Mission) he was prepared. Train met up with two others new faces that he hadn't seen before in the Academy but, then Train didn't know that many faces to begin with. Still he gave a friendly smile to both of them as he tossed his blond hair back and tied it back with one hand. He picked out a lighter from his pockets and began to open and close it slowly as he looked at the others. He wasn't in the mood to say much so he would let the other two do the talking first as he tagged along with them.

The Staff member who was leading this missions was Byron, a rather well-respected war veteran who did not seem like one. Regardless, entering the Mission Room the man stared at the three students before he sat down before the three. Taking out his glasses, Byron smiled at the three before he slowly began to speak.
"Recently, there have been mass kidnappings in Renshire, England. To our agent there, these kidnapings are magical in nature, and therefore we must act. At the moment, we do not have much to any info on this, as most of your vitals will be briefed to you by our Agent Sebastian Arete. Currently, he is located on top of his high school with portal connected to the Academy. The entrance way to that portal is actually in the next room, so without further ado please head to the next room to teleport to Sebastian's high school."
With that, Byron let out a heavy sigh before he turned to face his students. He did not like the idea of sending out students with such little information, but Sebastian has proved trustworthy in the past. He is, after all, a Earthside Resider and seems to able to keep up both his regular and supernatural life.
"Well, we'll just see how this mission goes" The Teacher thought quietly to himself.....
Objective: Go through the Portal and Meet with Sebastian Arete

Tristan nodded to the third student who came in and waited. After a while he started playing mind games with his companion telepathically, while seeming to be doing nothing but staring off into space. They both snapped out of it when Professor Byron or something similar walked in. The hunter had been in a class or two of his and he was one of the few people in the academy, strangely enough, who was older than Tristan himself.
He listened to the slow speech though slightly bestranged that he'd said highschool. Unless it was a teacher, Tristan would be surprised to hear that a highschool student was an agent for Babylos and the Academy. Nodding, Tristan stood and walked through the door way without bothering to take note of the other students. He looked at the portal, a glimmering round window with what looked like the front of a building inside of it. "Why do I have a feeling this isn't going to be pleasant?" The hunter asked sarcastically.
With that, he jumped through the portal. Indeed it wasn't a pleasant ride. Instead of the usual bone chilling cold he felt with his dragon, this was a wrenching feeling of going at a high g-force level without having there be much of any movement. He emerged on the other side, stumbled slightly, then moved out of the way for the other two to get through.
He looked around to make sure no one was around to see it, and saw that it was relatively dark out. Other wise it looked like your typical british town, lighting style, cars, everything. He didn't particularly like england and the whole british style, no reason to it...Just didn't. Once the other two would come through, Tristan turned around and looked up. They were on the ground next to the school instead of ontop of it. Why they didn't put the portal ON the roof I'll never know.... Igneus projected.
Agreeing, Tristan took an approximation of how tall the building was. Figuring it to be about three stories, he glanced around to make sure no one was watching and lept straight up, throwing it a little unseen wind element to propel him right up to the roof. He landed as quietly as possible on the tile roof and waited for the others before adressing the figure a short ways away.

"I'm going to get myself killed one day, walking into crazy things like 'portals' without questioning at all..."
Yeah, Seeker wasn't one to go walking through a portal every day, so obviously he was a bit freaked out about the whole thing. Still, he didn't show it, he just let someone else walk in first. That made it where Seeker would at least have someone else fall with him before he did, and when the person walked in, Seeker followed after, adjusting his glasses with his right index finger. He was like the classic cool guy, just walking into danger with his perfectly aligned glasses, and ready to deal with the times ahead of him.
And so Seeker disappeared from the room, stepping into the portal where he ends up right now. Talk about an awkward experience, was that real!? It was so crazy that Seeker couldn't even think of words to describe it, in fears of accidentally describing it in a wrong way or something! Anyways, after being confused like none other, Seeker began to look around to make sure that he was actually still alive, and he didn't just die and get his soul ripped out of him or something. Pretty much meaning, he was going to look for the other dude again.

"Roger," Train said calmly in that ready stance that D-13 troopers were always trained with and he listened to Bryon give out the mission objectives and situation. He was worried though about the kidnappings wondering what could kidnap so many things without being spotted yet. He frowned softly at that not saying much else other then that single word answer he would ask questions of the agent when they got there. That was the only thing that could really be done. Panciking and acting outraged right here several thousand miles away wasn't going to do anything good. He gave a nod and walked with the other three through the portal. The mission was already starting fishy from the start but, it was something that they would have to deal with tot he best of their ability.

Sebastian stared out of the darkness of the night, his red eyes glowing unnaturally as the portal he connected to the academy seemed to be stable. Slowly moving toward the Portal, the boy checked his watch to see the digital lights flicker to 7:15, right after sunset. School had been over for a few hours now, all of the students and staff heading home to relax as the next day would sink in. For Sebastian, however, he had to do other things. No one knew who he was, and no one cared if he stayed a bit after school. Sebastian was the type to keep to himself and remain quiet, passing through the cracks of the student body without really being noticed. He was the boy you never really knew who didn't really had any friends or anything, even if he seemed nice and kind to you. He was that stereotypical nerd who got good grades and sat in the back of the class room, not saying a word or making friends with anyone.... If only they knew why..... As the night air began to converge around the roof, it was a sign that a student was coming out of the warp hole. Moving back, Sebastian formed a smile to greet the agent when suddenly the student instead appeared in the courtyard of the school. In the next moments, two other figures came out of the portal to stand on the roof, darkness converging upon them. Sebastian, meanwhile, was standing a good distance away from the three, his slow footsteps making echos as he approached the three warriors. Peering out from the darkness, Sebastian smiled to the group as his foot steps echoed down the roof top. He stopped a few feet away as he bowed to the students, his red eyes flickering in the street lights. "Welcome to England" The boy said, his tone not British in the least however. Objective: Greet Sebastian and listen to Briefing

Tristan looked to his side to see the other two standing there, ((I'm assuming here...))[What the....I guess being with Igneus the portal put me on the ground.] Tristan thought to himself. He then looked over at the figure who had stepped forward and bowed. "Your Sebastian I take it." He responded, nodding his head in acknowledement.
"We weren't given alot of information, what exactly has been going on here." The hunters deep voice came, putting emphasis on the 'exactly'. Gathering information was the first thing someone needed to do in any sort of prearanged assingment. This mission shtick wasn't so different from being a demon hunter. Gather information, carry out the assignment, kick ass where needed.

Seeker said nothing, he just stared at the kid with a dull glare letting the other guy do the talking. Right now Seeker was just gathering thoughts on everything that was going on, looking around, noticing every small feature. If this was dealing with kidnappings, Seeker knew he didn't want to be taken away! He was going to let the other two do the socializing, but he was going to make sure that he did the whole, stand guard, think things through, be the smart person role. Besides, nobody else was volunteering, so he assumed it was only right to do it himself.
The dull stare only glanced at the guy for so long before he began to look around again, his ears remaining open to the conversation, though his eyes looking away didn't show it.
"So this is England? I wonder if we could sight see later..."
Yes, Seeker was fascinated was foreign lands other than his own, and it was quite a perk to be in this place at the current moment.

"That's the thing, I don't know much as well" Sebastian calmly replied, his eyes still flickering in the lights. "I was only able to detect magical energy on a random encounter."
He then paused, perhaps to recall his encounter or build up a dramatic pause. "When I walked home a few days ago, I walked near the scene of a brutal, bloody fight in a ally way. Police were swarming everywhere as bystanders quietly watched. There, it seemed a body was dragged off and then...disappeared. While peculiar, I didn't take it for much. That was until I suddenly sense a foul aura coming from the ally. As I looked around, I kept on sensing a supernatural presence, confirming my beliefs."
With that, Sebastian slowly turned around as he began to walk toward the roof. "Come on, we'll first investigate that scene. It's located down at the docks, and the police investigation are following another trail so there'll be no cops around to question us."
With that, the boy suddenly jumped off the roof.... Only to nimbly land on the ground before casually moving toward the school gates and into the city itself.
Objective: Follow Sebastian to the Docks

Tristan listened carefully. While he may have not looked it, he did have quite a bit of brooding intelligence that came from being a hunter and having to memorize technique in physical arts as well as now remembering spells. He stored away the fact that there was a supernatural presence in the part of his mind that Igneus dwelled in. Tristan could sense auras, but, being a dragon, Igneus was much better at it.
After Sebastian finished explaining and lept off the roof, Tristan jerked his head at the other two indicating a 'let's go' the fact aside that the hunter had seniority in both age and rank in the three-man-cell, it was somewhat natural for him to take the lead. He then hopped off the ledge after the informing boy, and followed him at a quick pace toward the docks. I don't really like this.... Igneus thought, [Me either....] Was the projected response.

Seeker followed behind, not being the one to lead first due to not having trust toward the boy. It was only natural to not hold trust for someone you had just met, and this was a 'mission', Seeker couldn't take stuff lightly. He was the cautious one, he would let his allies take lists, but he was going to make sure that he stayed on top of everything. People could do that when there was team work involved.
He let a weak sigh escape his lips, the sound not going very far, and his foot steps were slow keeping a good distance, even away from his partners. It was hard to open up, that's what Seeker was displaying, and his eyes continued to dart around like they were ping pongs, looking around, memorizing every single small detail there was. He was not going to let himself get screwed over this early in. The mission may be for the weaker people, but Seeker knew that something could always go wrong, stuff like that usually happened.
And so, there he was, still playing cautious, following along the others into the darks. Not too far in the back, but not too far in the front either. He was well protected, it may of been a selfish thing to do, but it wasn't like these guys were willing to risk their lives for him either, right?

OoC: No Train? Well...SKIP TIME!
Sebastian slowly walked down the streets, sounds of birds in the distance as the cold, chilling air of England began to fall upon the three (Four if you're there Train >.>) agents of the Academy. Slowly Sebastian's eyes darted tot he left, as waves crashing up against the seas could be heard. Motioning himself left, the boy moved through the echoing darkness of the city of Kenshire, waves in the back with only the pale moon as their guide.
"We're here" Sebastian said, a smile stretched across his face...
The Agent then stopped, his feet stirring up the dirt along the ground as pale, piss colored yellow street lights illuminated the docks. Sea gulls could be heard off in the distance, as the shifting waves crushed against the cement edge of the docks. Smiling to his companions, the agent moved toward one of the back allies surrounding the docks. As the boy moved deeper and deeper within the alleyway, light slowly began to lose it's hold, letting darkness fill the empty void of the street....
"Look around for evidence" Sebastian said swiftly, as he began to mentally scan the area for any strong magical resonances...
Objective: Investigate Alley of Magic
