Christof tensed as he felt someone grab the back of his jacket, but relaxed a hair when he saw who it was. Ah, that first year... Lattice, her name was, right? His lips pursed in concern as he wiped the tears from his eyes, turning to gingerly (considering the needles) pat her shoulder. As Calder approached, offering out his bag, his expression faltered again, waving a hand that no, it was alright. Ultimately, he signed to his friend for him to translate: "Dangerous. More-danger-to-come. Especially-for-weak-first-years. If-afraid-should-go-home-right-now. They-will-not-have-our-fear."

The sight of that angry, red scar slashing against the pale skin of Freya's stomach ignited something in Herryk that was primal, furious. With a gentleness that belied that rage building deep in his gut, Herryk traced a thumb against the scar.
"Herryk will break him in two."
His voice trembled when he spoke, full of rage and brutish fury. What Herryk would give to have two seconds alone with the weak, feeble beast that had done this to his Freya. He would pay.

G was quiet for some time, though eventually, his tail began to thump with open affection. Roch really meant it, didn't he? "Hokay." The monster rumbled, nudging at the boil with his head for a few moments. "G believe Roch. G ready... but... but where rest of team?" That was what he wanted to know, and as the reaper suddenly spoke up, Gargantuan's fins wilted quietly. He wasn't sure they were going to make it.

Bul didn't elaborate meaning either this was relatively sensitive information or he didn't know much more on the subject. Either way, Shun didn't try to press for more.. yet. He wasn't entirely certain what was meant by becoming a weapon but ti certainly did not sound like a kind fate. In fact, it kind of sounded like one of those things that was far worse than death. While he was no friend of Barth in any way, he did not wish such a thing for the sloth demon. It would be best to get him out of that situation if possible.
The comment regarding a human also caught his attention. Were these false reapers.. human?
He would have to look more into this later on. Right now wasn't the time. In any case, he kept the half-beast's warning in mind before looking to the boogeyman.
That was... an odd message to bring. Most likely it was some sort of code for one thing or another. Tucking that away, he turned his attention back to Mitsu as it was time to head back into the house. These false-reapers were incredibly dangerous. Grimacing at the various possibilities, he took in a breath and stared down at her. This was the real deal. He could say that he wouldn't let anything happen but he knew better than to believe that nothing could happen to them.
"I don't know what lies ahead of us but I'm sure we hadn't seen the last of those people tonight. No matter what happens..."
He wasn't sure how to finish that sentence. Things were whirling about in his mind to the point. What the hell was he trying to say? Rather than trying to say it, he leaned in and lightly pressed his lips against hers, doing just what came to mind instead.

"They're here," Roch said, memorizing the message absently. "But I think they should choose for themselves whether they want to go in or not. But just in case--" He turned, raising his hands to cup around his mouth. "G and I are goin' in! My team come if you wanna, or go home, it's totally up to you!" he bellowed before heading through the door.
((Exiting into the house))

Mot was oblivious to the chaos of his team. He'd been rather preoccupied, staring at the boogeyman. If he could help, even a little, he would feel so much better about everything. Was there anything he could do? Anything that he could do to make things better. Or better yet, something only he himself could do?
Alas, they would return to the rooms. How mundane. What next? A room made of trampolines?
...Actually that sounded awesome. Still, it was less like training than he thought. And he still felt like a hamster in a wheel. What was his presence even doing for anyone?
"The sun is rising.." It must have been a code, as Mot stared up at the early night sky. Must be. It was easier than relaying what had happened. Short and sweet. Easy to remember.
The door was opened, and Mot turned back to his team. His eyes widened. MITSU! Mot grinned ear to ear. When did she get back? It didn't matter.She was safe. She hadn't been left behind. The reaper trotted back to the...oddly dismal looking team---
...
Mot stopped halfway there, staring, before bashfully turning his head away. Did... Shun just kiss Mitsu? Wow.. he didn't realize how close they were! Goodness...
He.. did not wish to disturb them... but...
Mot slowly made his way a few feet from his team, clearing his throat. "Ahem... uh--um.. Come on guys. One and a half rooms to go, and this nightmare ends, right?" He smiled uncertainly. "Um, good to see you're safe Mitsu. I'll head out first." Awwwwkward.
Mot left his team, and headed inside the house.
((Mot is Exiting to the house))

Danny looked at the ground where Roch had just been standing. She could've gone home, he was right. She could leave, and never die again. Go home, sit in a fireplace. Eat some snot corn. She could do all of it.
And yet ...
She too wanted to save Xiu and Amrita. Honestly, she didn't know that they were missing in the first place, but now that she knew she wasn't about to give up. Dying was scary, but ... well there were more important things!
Danny cleared the memory from her mind for the time being (which, really, wasn't hard for her to do. Not thinking was a natural habit) and headed into the house chasing after Roch.
((Exiting to group room~))

Calder looked a tad crushed that nothing he offered was useful, and slowly placed the strap about his shoulder and adjusted his saddle bag, frowning. When the undead began to sign, he paid attention and then nodded. Then he remembered no one else had 'heard' what the boil had signed.
"Uh...It's dangerous. It will get worse.. And .." He didn't mention weak first years. It was insulting. "....and first years should go home. It's too dangerous for you all and you all might get really hurt or worse. We don't want them to take your fear." Calder looked to Christof, frowning. He signed back. 'Sorry. Used-Own-Words. You-Will-Upset-Them.''

"We-will-not-let-them-take-it!" Christof clarified with a glower to his friend. At least fighting with Calder was a welcome distraction. It felt like... like normal. Like nothing was wrong. Like Barth wasn't potentially being tortured somewhere.

Team Awesome
The sun is rising.
How poetic…
Hel easily made note of it, and cast a gaze to the sky as well. Huh…it didn’t seem like it was late into the night…her brow furrowed. Oh well…
The reaper hummed to herself for a moment, looking around at the groups of students around her, musing on Shun and Bul’s conversation for a moment longer before glancing over at said grim reaper. Here, the valkyrie had no shame as she openly stared, a bit wide eyed, at Shun kissing Mitsu. Woah. The ghoul’s arms hung limp at her side as she just stared. That was…so…touching…were they…
Ah…Mot’s awkward arrival and announcement broke her out of her thoughts.
“…Ah…I am doubtful of that, friend.” Hel replied a bit distracted, “But I want to see what’s at the end…I’m right behind you.” She glanced back at Shun and Mitsu before trailing into the house after the cowboil.
((Exiting!))

Freya felt the fury that ran through the draugr's body, as though it were some sort of palpable electricity between them. It made her breath short and rasped, and it made it hard to look at him without swelling with painful emotion. Herryk was doing something.. so terrible to her. So wonderful, it was terrible.
When she managed enough breath to speak, it was only because she tore her eyes away from the draugr to look at Christof. He was making funny hand gestures, and she had no idea what they meant - but his gentle gesture for Lattice was enough to make her smile. She also caught a certain someone finally gathering up the strength to kiss the ghoul he wanted, and her lips pursed in a knowing smirk at Shun.
"Right. We goes. Ja?" She turned back to Herryk, but as soon as her eyes met his the tightness in her chest returned. Even her smile faded, and she put her hands on his shoulders, lifting herself up to her knees so she was eye to eye with him.
"Together." She whispered, then turned her head to Calder and Christof. The fire in her eyes was back. "All of us."

Calder wasn't emotionally stable to have the Igor glare at him, and cowered under the glare. It didn't help that the undead had tried to tie him several rooms ago and that image was still fresh in his mind.
Nodding, Calder looked about to everyone. "Wh...We Will not let them take it!" Calder announced. "That's what he said." Calder said, pointing to his friend to clarify.

Lattice took in the message she must take to the appointed persons as she stood behind Christof.
She felt Christof pat her shoulder and slowly she let his jacket go and her head lifted away from his back it seemed enough comfort for her for the moment that he simply did this. The Engraver paused when he made movements and then the other from his team translated for him. Lattice listened intently before she shifted from foot to foot.
"I might be first year but...I must go on. I said I would deliver a message and I will. I will become stronger from this, I must," Lattice replied as she stepped away from Christof and his friend smiling a little, "Thank you both."
For many things.
Lattice moved to stand near Lizzy again, "Vee...Where is she? I still have not heard her..."
She would come away from this stronger than she was earlier. She go into this stronger than she was earlier.

Riyo finally managed to sit up after spending a short time with the rag over her nose, allowing it to collect blood until the flow slowly stopped. Okay. At least there was that. Her nose hurt. A lot... But at the very least it wasn't bleeding anymore.
Alright. Time to go back in the room. Two more rooms. What happened after those rooms? Who knows! At least by the end of the day, she could say she did it and they could all go home nice and safe...
... As long as they didn't see those false reapers again. Which they probably would...
"I'm going ba-" The ghoul started as she turned to see Shun and Mitsu... Then quickly looked away. Okay. Well. Uh...
... Wow...
"... Bye!" And with that, the feline made a beeline for the house.

"All of us," Herryk echoed. He placed his hands on Freya's hips, digging in his fingers just the slightest -- almost as if he needed to remind himself that she was here, that she was whole. She was his.
Herryk glanced at the house, his gaze contemplative. Who knew what horrors awaited them, but in order to find Barth... well, they would face it as a group. Hopefully they would be able to find Red or Cee for the boogeyman so that the cryptic message could be delivered.
"The sun is rising," Herryk whispered to himself. Rising to his feet, Herryk took Freya's hand. "We should get moving."
