Difficult capture: Similar to the series, the relics are found somewhere in the forest. However these relics are not clumped together in one area at ground level. They are located in the oak trees near a waterfall. Once you hear the roar of running water start looking up. Be mindful of the Nevermore. It's a relentless vulture-like Grimm. It's nest isn't to far.

Daniel Redmond Crane  Danny carefully began trotting through the forest, helmet fixed firmly upon his head. He and his teammates needed to be in top form today, as this was going to be one hell of a challenge. The horse faunus was eager to get into a fight, but the relics would be hard to find, he guessed. He was terrible at finding things. Hell, he managed to lose a corndog somewhere in his room at home once, and found it three years later. It almost had hair as long as his by the time he found it. However, he couldn't afford to lose here. "C'mon, relics! Come out, come out!" He called.

"The winds in the free-tops
are the winds in my hearth.
The stars are in blossom
And so too my heart!
Overfilled with jubilation.
Let the dance begin!
Hand in hand,
we take a ride;
A romantic spin.
The rivers are now silver
but the shadows all flee.
Merry is our merriment.
Marry is me.
Moths add to flames
as your words do too.
Don't let me be burned
when I say;
"I love you"."
A happy island girl sings in the forest, alone, as she skips along picking certain flowers and levees from all the lush flora around her. Her voice, as soothing as velvet, attracts a few canary of different shades and with utter delight the island girl smiles and claps her hands together. "Oh, do you all like my song?" Taking their curious hops and light mimicry of the songs rhythm Iris took their body language as a yes, and continued on with her little friends following her. She soon found herself a river, not still but not rapid either, with the birds delighting in a crisp tiny pool caught between a few rocks. "A bath in the morning is amazing, isn't it. Especially outside on such a sunny day." Iris smiled at them as she filled her water bottle by the river's edge. A click of the top and Iris slipped her bottle into her hidden utility belt; disguised as her lovely sash wrapped around her tight waist. From left to right, the island girl checked out to see if any danger was around. Seeing the cost was clear she shrugged and began taking off her armor. The heavy clunks her armor made when they'd hit the floor would cause her little bird friends to hop here and there but with her easy going aura they did not feel the need to flee. Kneeling down by the river, a stone mortar bowl in her hand, the island girl began singing her song once more, her feathered friends also singing along, as she washed her long and sleek hair with the anxiousness of meeting her new team; even if she recognized one of the names displayed on her scroll.

-  Can you see the light?
As far as the eyes can see
From this point above the world
Where mortals dare their destiny.
As it radiates
May I witness open-eyed
Let me remain where there is light.
It was a happy day for Cora to hear, or at least to come to the understanding, that the new test really had nothing to do with spiders. She counted herself lucky and blessed as she stepped into the woods, this time in search for her team with a little more zeal and a little bit less of a frantic rush than she had felt before. She was glad that she knew a few names this time around.
She stretched out her shoulders by slowly reaching her arms above her head. On lowering them, she released a slow breath and took a moment to crack her neck, which had managed to become a little tense in the transition from school to this part of the woods. They were just going in to get some shiny things and they were going to be out of there and safe back at the school. Simple right?
Cora picked up her feet and began to jog, going in search of her team-mates. She listened as she went and moved through the trees, listening for voices, and managed in enough time to hear a familiar sound. Well... a familiar voice anyway. She turned her course and approached the noise that came from close to a river. Song? Who sings in the middle of a grim-heavy forest?

Daniel Redmond Crane Danny couldn't help but stop and listen in confusion. "Whoever that is, she's got some nice pipes, but who the hell would sing out here?" He asked himself out loud. Perhaps the mystery singer was one of his future teammates. He began trotting once again to find his teammates. He only recognized Cora from the list, but having a friend on the team was a plus. Besides, she was also easy on the eyes. Danny was more than happy to be the only dude on a team of girls. His last team was made of three guys with swords. Basically, one fourth of the Super Smash Bros. roster.
Trotting through the trees, Danny got closer to the sound of the music, removing his helmet for a moment. He didn't wanna scare the singer. "Hello? Anyone there? No need to be afraid! I'm just your average, everyday human-horse hybrid! Wow, the level of contradiction in that last part is amazing." He called out, mumbling that last bit.

As the island girl finished washing her hair she looked over to her three near by canary friends to make sure they were still there. Even though they are her friends they are also indicators if danger nears by. Confidently, the island girl began undoing her cute obi, or sash, and then began lowering her keikogi when she stopped about half past her shoulders; and her tattoo on the middle of her upper back slightly showing. The island girl had heard something approching but by the time anything could happen it had spoken to her. "Hello?Anyone there?"
The voice sounded friendly, in tone and in speech, and the words chosen by the masculine voice made her giggle a little. You average, everyday human-horse hybrid? Ever since she's been off the island, The island girl didn't see human-horse hybrid as being part of the norm. But then again, discrimination out in this big world wasn't the norm to her. Just before the island girl would answer the centaur of a man came out into the open and meet eyes with the island girl. Her bright sapphire eyes reflected her curiosity as she looked behind her but then red boiled up from toe to head and she gave a quick scream with her hands quickly fixing her clothes. "Get out of here, pervert!"

Daniel Redmond Crane Danny had found the source of the music, a very pretty girl close to his age, but the circumstances of their meeting could have been so much better. Turning away, he blushed profusely. "I'm not a pervert! I'm just an innocent centaur looking for the relics! And for the record, why are you singing nude in a Grimm-infested forest, anyway!?" He yelled in a panicked response. He had to admit, this was the last thing he'd expect to see in the wild. He figured she was going to bathe in the river, but he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. "Ye gods, I feel like the unlucky protagonist in a harem anime." He muttered, hoping the girl wouldn't try to wound him.

The singing came to a close and then was curiously replaced by screaming and then frantic response. Cora recognized the first voice as one that belonged to Iris. The second.... definitely masculine, which would have to be Daniel. They must have found each other.
Cora sped her path through the trees, hoping to reach Iris and Daniel, hoping that they weren't in trouble. Though, for the noise they were making, it seemed unlikely that they would go unnoticed by the local grim. She wanted to be there before the creatures were. She did find the small clearing and broke through the trees. She saw the impressive form of the horse faunus reeling back. She saw what he was backing from and saw Iris just finishing to put herself back together.
Cora hid her face behind her shield and tried to hide her smile. They weren't in danger. It was just a misunderstanding.

Daniel Redmond Crane Hearing footsteps, Danny looked over to see a familiar face. Hopefully, his friend would be able to protect him...and possibly vouch for his innocence. "Cora!" He cried, galloping to hide behind the girl. Yes, the 400 pound horse man was hiding behind a much smaller human girl. "If you have any human kindness in you, hide me! For the love of god, hide me!" He begged comically. "Oh, and please tell this girl that I'm innocent! I was just searching for the relics, and my team, when all of a sudden, I hear a beautiful singing voice. I got curious, and went to investigate, and then this happens!" He explained. Even with a near unbreakable helmet, Danny wouldn't survive the wrath of a woman scorned.

Iris Kenmasutā
Oh, why was this the first way to meet her new teammate! Iris was embarrassed but luckily she had only drawn her clothing half way down her shoulders; and her lower half protected from view. She tied her obi back on, her short tights under the skirt like outfit, and then sheepishly walked up beside her new teammate. "......."
As if to make things even more embarrassing her bestie, Cora Duncan, had arrived. She must have seen what happened or something because she was quite as a field mouse with her shield hiding her face almost like a niqāb. "H-hey, Cora...." Iris stood sheepishly stiff as she felt like a rain cloud had just hovered over her and stormed up something fierce; but only on her. Iris sighed, for she knew she couldn't leave the elephant in the room unattended; even if he cheekily hid behind her friend. "You're Daniel Redmond Crane, correct?"
Iris shyly turned to face the much taller guy, her eyes glinting from the view of the sun, and squinted at him with a little pout. "I'm gonna let you off the hook this time, but for the record I was nude because I was going to bath! It's norm to do so in a river if you're a warrior on a journey...and because it's kind of a ritual of mine from back on the island." Iris' pout then vanished, but not her blushing red cheek as she openly admitted to something to Danny; as well as Cora who was in earshot. Isis did begin to seem more lax about the, now funny, situation and then sighed to release the slight irritation; "And I was singing because...I like to sing in the bath." She said, reviling another little fun fact. "I should say I'm sorry too. I don't know why but I trust it was an accident and that you won't do it again." Iris, reflecting on the innocent mishap, suddenly giggled and then nudged Cora. "But if Cora here would have been the one to have seen me I wouldn't have freaked out as much. I'm betting you're rethinking your luck on getting a mostly female team now, huh Danny Boy?"

Active::BGM::For some odd reason, she was walking awry towards the platform, but then the moment she was launched off, she wouldn't know what to do. With her quick thoughts, she twisted her body a bit and swung the hammer to use the momentum to fling her hammer out off the side.
It added a bit more on the meter, but surely not too far. However, she fell down like a klutz and fell down her butt. Crashing down on the forest but only a few yards away from the rest of her team. The ground shook due to the several thousand pounds worth of weight. painfully, she rubbed her butt, "Ow..."She then looked up where she was. The forest was verdant green, somewhere it seems where she was used to in her travels."Where... am I?"

Iris Kenmasutā "Hush!" Iris suddenly snapped as she pointed her ear towards the direction of the platforms which shot them into this forest. Iris kept her ear out, holding her breath, and then a smile cracked as her suspensions were confirmed; something was near. "Come one you guy!" Iris cheered as she sprinted off, dust kicking as her shoes spun out like wheels. "It could be our other teammate, or a Grimm!" Now, most of the time Iris wouldn't be that glad to possibly fight a Grimm but after the mishap she was glad for any excuse to move on.

Daniel Redmond Crane Danny listened to the explanation, still blushing a bit. He had to admit, this was kinda funny, now that the awkwardness had passed a bit. He then calmed down, letting out a chuckle. "Eh, not entirely. Being the only dude lets me stand for reasons other than the obvious." He joked, pointing at his horse legs. "Besides, it was just an accident on both sides, and it won't happen again." He told Iris. "Not to mention, as far as rituals go, singing in the bath isn't too bad. Hell, you've got a way better singing voice than I do." He said, trying to make the situation a little less embarrassing. She really did have a lovely voice, though, he had to admit. Iris did seem nice, especially since the mood was more positive, and he was on good terms with Cora already. The only one he had yet to meet was Rose Valentine.
Speaking of which, as Iris heard something and called for the team to investigate, Danny slipped on his pumpkin shaped helmet and broke into a full gallop after Iris. Hopefully, they'd find their new teammate soon. It would take all four of them to finish this little test.

She agreed with Iris and lowered her shield, letting a bit of a smile be seen on her expression. If it had been just ladies, perhaps there wouldn't have been as much panic, but the situation being what it was... the rest was history.
To say the least, this was already turning out to be an interesting day. By this time she had managed to reset her face so that she wasn't so very unsettled by everything. She picked herself up and followed after Iris, who ran in the direction of the newest sound. Cora disagreed with the thought of it being grim, at least for the sound. Grim had a tendency to growl or to cause their surroundings to rustle. They didn't favor making any more noise than they had to.
She turned to follow the lead of the other two. The sooner they met up with their fourth team-mate, the sooner they could move on to their objective.

::Heartbeat::
=Weapon form
: Chainsaw=Weapon status: Active::Valentine
=Aura status: Active::BGM::She dusted herself off, hearing some chitter and some noises afar from her location. The wind around her area seemed to flutter and flow by, as rose petals surround and gently gust through. Hunching herself over, she positioned vigilantly, glaring at the direction where the area the chitter was coming from. She heard slight giggling noises along with it. Unknowingly if its an enemy or not, she readied her hammer aside, and the spikes started gyrating, spinning like a chainsaw unhinged from its slumbering state. A sweatdrop formed from her temple, and licked a little bit of her lips, waiting for anticipation. "...I'm not gonna be taken down that easy...", she thought.
