Professor Hakoda Fuller looked out over the group of students that had gathered to head to Dunsmuir California to take on the mission he’d initiated. He knew that something wasn’t right with the small town even though he hadn’t walked through it; it was something he could feel from a distance and that scared him. Normally, the instructor would’ve insisted on investigating something like this himself, but Lord Death wanted to keep all his staff on hand and ready for emergencies. Even though Hakoda thought that Dunsmuir could very well be an emergency, Lord Death had insisted that the situation be investigated first. That was what had initiated this little gathering.
“Now, I know you all have the briefing information, but there’s one thing I need to make perfectly clear,” he addressed all seven of them. “This mission is purely investigative in nature. You are looking, sensing, feeling. And then you are reporting back to me or Lord Death himself. Any further action will be determined by us before you move forward further.”
Given that he was a newer professor at the DWMA, not many students had been exposed to his brand of seriousness yet. Now they were getting a simple taste. He was concerned about the mission and that was clear from his tone. Some might even venture so far as to say that he sounded scared for them as well.
“Because we know so little about the situation, we’re unsure of what you’re up against. Students getting in over their heads is not something we want to deal with right now. Work as a team, stay together, and watch each other’s backs. Do not hesitate to contact us back here in Death City if you need anything at all.” Once again, his tone was drilling. No one would doubt that in another life, Hakoda would’ve made a great sergeant. That was his nickname after all.
Before he could go into more details, a bus pulled up and he considered them all. “Unfortunately, that’s really all the time we seem to have. Are there any quick questions I might be able to address?” His eyes scanned over all of them, ready to answer should anything come up. If they had no questions, though, it was clear from his gesture that they were welcome to get on the bus at that moment.
“Hey there!” the bus driver called out. “Here to escort a group o’ students to Dunsmuir. Is that right?”
The instructor merely nodded in confirmation and then stepped out of the way of the main door so that the students could get on board.
Note: It is assumed that all seven students were present for this "briefing." You are more than welcome to write what brought your character to the bus station, but please do not say that you were late and missed this occurrence. I'm trying to expedite things a bit to get to exciting things faster. It is also assumed that all students have at least seen the briefing information that was included on the mission recruitment page although not everyone has to have read it or have a copy with them. Everyone has simply had an opportunity to read it.
