Rep faltered a little at Harrison and gave him a very intense sort of look.It certainly sounded like entertainment whatever it was.
But of course, like everything else that day, it wasn't to be. As they stepped into the room Rep couldn't avoid seeing what lay within, taking it in in a moment of stunned silence.
"It's no me." he said with cool deadpan. "And don't...shine that lantern thing too far ahead of you man. I think we found erm. Some of those maggots Mark was talking about."

The buzzing was getting louder.
Harrison didn't hold the lantern up. He backed up. Maggots didn't make that noise, and he knew Rep was being nice about it.
"Seven rooms," he said, affirming, and now the smell hit him. He'd smelled dead bodies enough to know what it was. "That's...almost double-"
He looked pale. B0nez's flashdrive was flashing. The buzz was almost a roar, and the shifting noises were worse, the shift of flesh, of rotting piles sliding together, of bodies and wings- it was brushing past his leg, now, and he couldn't help but see, in the glow, the brief iridescent shimmer of oversized flies.
More buzzing.
He felt a sharp pain in his calf.
Harrison made a distressed noise that might have been a hell of a lot less dignified if he hadn't clapped his arm over his mouth. They'd get inside him, and then-
The sound of strangled terror, suddenly cut off, echoed ominously down the hall and into the main basement room.

Chelsea gave a half-hearted salute to America, which really was more predatory than it should have been. It was like saying this is my Nevada not yours. But real silent-like.
Returning to the party, Chel grabbed Nevada's hand and twirled her closer. "Shall we dance pretty lady?"

Jordan looked up, frowning a little. That had sounded like Harrison, and it had not been a good sound. "I'm going to go check on them," he said to the room in general, and headed down the hall, calling out, "Harrison? You okay?"

Feel free to follow if you want to encounter horrible flies~
Perking up a bit at the cry, America reached under the table and brought out some sort of item, pulled out a flashlight to clip to her pocket, and then followed. Running past Jordan she saluted him, intent not really alarmed, "Don't you worry, we got this!"
Rep felt honestly bad attacking the flies. Here they were, minding their own business in their festering rot, all adorable and buzzy and wriggly and he'd come to ruin their day. He'd become what he hated. But if he couldn't have bugs and mould, no one could.
Summoning Tracey was a tight fit in the enclosed space, but it left enough room for a swing to sweep a few innocent kid-sized maggots into neat halves.
It was a shame, but Harrison's needs came first, and his needs right now were to not have to deal with a room full of his worst nightmares.

Despite Jordan's ridiculous outfit, Al still followed obediently on the man's heels to assist.

As America trotted past him with a blowtorch, Jordan raised his eyebrows and followed her, a little impressed by her level of preparation. Ferros approved silently of her choice of tool, and Jordan shared a moment of amusement with his weapon. "Is the blowtorch something that gets regular use down here?" he asked mildly. "Hazards of residence in the basement?"
"That guy Mark gave it to me, been saving it!" America grinned happily as she replied. It'd been a sore temptation to try it out after getting her hands on it, but the tag on it had said Only In Case of Emergency. Never let it be said that America Jones didn't follow instructions!
As long as they were in large, bold red print.
Accompanied by little skulls and stickmen dying in various ways.
They reached Rep and Harrison, and she made a face at Tracey's summoned form. And then began to fiddle with the blowtorch, its runes lighting up as she did so. "Just give me a minute to get this..."
When one of the pull-out valves stuck, she began tapping it hard against the wall to loosen it.
Because that's a great idea. "Hold the line until I can..."

Fini snapped her mouth shut, protecting her tongue. Nice try, Finn, nice try! Not that it was any real try. And then she was wrinkling her nose and huffing out a breath, crossing her arms in an adorable pout. "That was obviously just a favor for- " The rest of her sentence was cut off by his kiss, and okay she just gave up at that point.
Her eyes gave him her answer. No torture chamber either, Finn.
She didn't even notice any flinching or slight discomfort at having those cute little ears tugged. Because she was already moving on to giggling at Abbi. Such a cute little bear! And then the sputtering and Fini honestly couldn't remember what she'd just said- oh right. Something about a sexy costume. Wait. Fini gave Abbi a surprisingly stern look... considering her clearly tipsy state. "Hey now, none of those types of thoughts! You are a beautiful and lovely girl. If anyone even dares tell you otherwise," a slight pause because yes, she looked at you, Finn, and Jack (wherever the giant was), "Tell me. I'll kick their a**."
And speaking of a**, Fini got way more of a look of one then she'd wanted. She covered her own eyes as Finn protected Abbi's innocence.
Thankfully, Abbi and Finn got distracted enough being reminded of Ripley - the teen beating on Finn - Fini managed to step away very sneakily to snatch a couple more drinks. There was no telling what was in these ones, and she took a quick sip of each before innocently enough handing one over to Abbi (the sweeter tasting of the two), while using Ripley's own tactic against him, pointing at Finn. "Not true! He's totally secretly a nice guy." Sorry, Ripples! The ladies had to watch out for one another, y'know? Quick, drink before he caught you, Abbi! Fini was so not corrupting you or anything. Nope.

And then the drink was snatched from Fini's hand. Oh look, Jack finally decided to complete the ohana circle show up.
"You're letting the little ones drink?" he asked Ripley and Finn with a raised brow, the drink now held above his head. "For shame. Can I not leave you alone without something happening?"
Speaking of something happening, sounded like someone found more than just an over-sized fly. he tossed a glance down the hallway as others began to traipse down. Siiiiigh. "Guess Power Ranger's right; exterminating, anyone?"

Melvin was more or less using Rin as cover, and staying right beside, if not slightly behind her. The basement was cooler than most places in Deus, who were still recovering to get ac in some of the buildings after the Titan attack. This did not feel great when you were wearing a dress and not the slacks and sweaters he preferred. Melvin was cold.
Grumpy about many things, he then heard someone very familiar call out for help.
"Is that....Harrison??" He turned to look at the dark hallway, and walked off behind the group, gesturing to Rin that - he was going over there to check things out.....even though he didn't want to leave her sights.
He really didn't want to leave her side.
Maybe he should reconsider?
No...no. That was an alarming yell. That needed help.
He followed behind, and when he heard buzzing. Strange buzzing, and as he neared the lamplight that lit up a room, he regretted ever walking down here.
Letting out a scream, he summoned Saliva and fired. BUGS!

Suddenly surrounded by people. Suddenly being called mean while getting repeatedly punched in the ribs by tiny and only somewhat ineffectual fists (they actually hurt a bit, not that he would ever admit that out loud. Suddenly Nevada coming back to shoot him some comment about bugs and suddenly Fini slipping away to go and grab drinks, one of which was for Abbi which he did not approve of in the least...though nor did he really want his woman getting drunk in case she was one of those types that acted like a complete idiot when drinking so he was torn on who to reprimand first.
And that was when suddenly Jack approached and took Fini's drink away, which solved at least one of his problems.
"How do you expect me to hear my phone down here?" He asked, pleasantly enough when Abbi complained that he hadn't gotten her texts.
He was not about to go there at all about the sexy thing though, nope, no way in hell. He let Fini take care of that one and simply averted his gaze with a very innocent smirk on his face when she glared at him like he might say something. He could, however, say something about the mean thing. "I say mean things about all of the people I consider my friends." He let that sit for a moment before adding on. "I say even meaner things about the people I don't." He'd let her decide if that meant he considered Ripley to be his friend or not.
To Ripley, who came to his defense (sort of) he could only say. "See! He gets it. And you don't mind, do you, Ripples? And also he's right you shouldn't be drinking Ab--"
Of course it was at that point that Nevada interrupted and his attention ended up going to her for a moment. "Well, that's a ******** shame then isn't it, darling?" It figured. She couldn't even trip and fall into an open iron maiden or anything. Sigh. At the mention of bugs and being breakable, he just smiled at her as he always did, in that self assured, oh so smug way that didn't show at all how much her words might bother him. "Your beautiful bandaged eye would suggest otherwise, sweetheart." He didn't say anymore then that, though it was tempting to do so.
Wait secretly a nice guy, what? Fini was subject to an eyebrow raise, his smile slipping away. She could not seriously believe that, not even for a second! All he could really do to answer her was say "Riiiiight, you know what, Fini, maybe you should lay off the booze a little bit there. You appear to be a bigger lightweight then I could have imagined" Because seriously one and a half drinks and she was calling him nice.
Something was wrong here.
And then Jack. Hello Jack.
"Not willingly." Was the short answer, though he had to smile when Jack lifted the drink out of Fini's reach, giving him the idea to make a grab for Abbi's as well, though by then she probably could have gotten a good sip or two out of it. "Power ranger?" He questioned, not actually having been paying any attention to who Jack was previously hanging out with. As far as exterminating went....
He scoffed again. "******** no, I'm good right here." He then threw back the drink (if he managed to get it from Abbi) and grimaced. Was that straight fruit juice? Disgusting!

She continued to smile at Finn, bring her hand up to her eye. "Oh right, almost forgot about that. Except it was something bigger then a bug...It was something that took control of your body hun." She looked up, "Too bad the portals are down, I could take you to the haunted house and show you how much it took to break me Handsome..." She laughed, "Oh wait sorry. That'd kill you. Don't want that..." Chelsea pulled her away and she laughed with the girl.
"I am always down for a dance." She smiled over at Chelsea as someone called for more hunters to take on bugs.
Nope. She was tired of bugs.
"You wanna help them? Or we continue this back at our rooms." Nevada smiled again at Chelsea. Whether the girl wanted to or not, Nevada would be leaving. She was tired of fighting.
But it was not her calling you a nice guy. Which she knew you weren't, relax. It's called 'sarcasm' or 'Fini is on the verge of being drunk'. In fact, within the span of a few seconds (the seconds it took for Finn to respond), she was already past that and focused on something else.
Like getting her goddamn drink back.
Why was the rum gone?!
Oh wait, she wasn't drinking rum. Or was she??
"Jaaaaaaack!" Yes, she totally tried jumping up to snatch her dring from the green giant. And obviously failed. Hieght differences and everything. She even tried poking him. GASP! Okay so it was more of a jab, and she kind of figured it wouldn't work. And then Finn was telling her to lay off the booze and being slightly tipsy made her even less likely to behave and do what she was ******** that!" She replied.
So, sticking her tongue out, again, at her man, Fini eyed Jack up before attempting to retriev her drink. By climbing the giant. She was one very determined kitty.
