It had been a day or two since the incident in the hall where two faculty members got into a vicious fight over some strange pendant. Pepin had managed to blurt about the object to the entire school via the Ickycom but it held little relevance to those not there.
After bailing the scene she'd left her 'volunteer' reaper cameraman behind. What was to become of the boil at the time was a mystery but Pepin was reluctant to leave him and her evidence wandering about. It was her story and she was going to have every last detail written out.
The hallway she'd been in before had seen better days but it was important that she scan the original scene. Doubtful she'd find him here, Pepin lurked away towards the reaper halls but did not proceed further. Her foot tapped the air as if she were on the ground and she tapped her chin gently.
"Meat Shield?" she asked tentatively, eyeballing any reaper that walked by, not that Mot would be hard to identify without a crowd around. Maybe she'd need to fit herself in a locker and just wait...
That wasn't a bad idea. In fact, Pepin sealed herself inside a hall locker and giggled as she waited.

Loud whistling could soon be heard further down the hall, accompanied by the clicking of spurs in time with footsteps. Despite all that had happened a couple days prior, he seemed okay. A good days rest helped.
However, his happy tune ended abruptly, stopping in the middle of the hallway.
He sensed a ghost.. a familiar ghost. His head turned slowly, staring at... a locker. A locker. Was it really her? He needed to talk to her anyway but...
Mot moved and opened the door to find the glitch ghost inside. "Do you make a habit of hiding in lockers?" He inquired, completely deadpan.

"HELLO." Pepin chirped when Mot opened the locker door. "I knew I'd find you this way! It's good to see you alive my dear cameraman. Did it get pretty bad? What happened? Where's the eyephone?" Two claws hands reached out to grab him but this time she pulled herself out rather than him close. Now standing at hardly 5 feet the ghoul smiled to the reaper.

Mot was at a loss for a moment as Pepin prattled on. He took a step back without breaking(hidden) eye contact with the ghoul as she emerged from the locker.
Hopefully this would be quick. He was sure to get a kink in his neck from talking to a ghoul so short. She seemed even shorter than Lizzy.
"Yeah, it got bad. I got it all on your phone." Mot reached into his pocket, pulling out the eyephone in question. "I barely made it out of there alive. I got lucky. Some students weren't so lucky.." He held the phone out for the ghost to grab.
"This was for a story? Are you some kind of reporter now?"

"My phone? THAT WASN'T M- I mean..." Pepin exclaimed as she floated upwards quickly to grab the eyephone and inspect the condition it was in. She was lucky it survived the ordeal!
"Wait so some students DIED?" she asked the enormous grin on her face becoming concerning, so happy. "Daaaaaaamn." She couldn't wait to see some of the footage he'd caught. "All this over some wedding... sheesh."
At the question she puffed out her chest and did a sort of heroic pose. "Yes actually I AM. THE editor in chief for the Paranormal Post! Coming soon to Amityville Academy."

Wedding? Oh right, the glitch had said something like that over the icky-com before bailing out on him. "I don't think it was about any wedding.." Mot said with slight irritation in his tone. Perhaps the ghost's misunderstanding could be endearing, but to her he was 'Meat Shield'. Hardly endearing.
"Paranormal Post? The school has a newspaper?" Mot asked with interest. So this ghoul was the chief editor. Hopefully she would get proper news details, lest every front cover read like a tabloid.

"What are you nuts of course it was about a wedding didn't you see the pendant they had? They had to be talking about a student and a teacher!" Pepin was quite adamant that she knew what she had seen and hovered around the reaper excitedly, vulture-ing for the footage.
"It will soon. I haven't started our meeting yet but I got Allllll the supplies together I'm waiting till I have this story ready to go." She nodded. "It'll be the first headline when we release it." As sadistic towards Mot she was, she seemed very tentative and caring for her project.

The reaper didn;t even try to maintain any eye contact with the vulture-like ghost circling him. Had Mot not seen Lizzy previously he would have just went along with Pepin's outlandish assumption. "Print what you want, I guess. Red kept saying that the students are too weak to handle the dangers ahead or something. Go ahead and watch the video for yourself." Mot insisted, pointing to the eye-phone.
"It's an even bigger story than any forbidden romance." He attempted to say this with some sort of excitement. Maybe an incorrect story was none of his business, but it was also a good idea to get the student body actively aware of the dangers lurking ahead of them.

"Dangers? What the JACK are you-" Pepin looked down at the device in her hands and began to play the video, her hands causing it to flicker some but since it wasn't recording it'd be safe to use later.
The footage ran through and Pepin tilted her head curiously. She hadn't heard any business about students being in danger before nor did she have any inkling that they were in serious trouble. The only time she'd done anything that resulted in bursting into fear was playing that stupid plumber man game at Trial By Fire off campus.
"None of us are prepared for what lies ahead- What is even this crap?" Pepin raised a brow looking up at Mot but took a moment to absorb the idea of... possibly an even BIGGER story?

There was a dangerous look now in Pepin's eyes. "Students.. getting killed..? Not prepared... this is clearly a big thing! They're saying we're in for a surprise aren't they? What could the surprise be? OH I'M SO EXCITED."
Excited for redeath?

Well, Pepin may have finally given up on the wedding story, but having her so excited about students dying was a little off putting. However, mot wasn't up to fighting with this ghoul much longer. She got the general gist of it. Sure. Why not.
Mot slow clapped. Just for Pepin.
"Whoopie~." The reaper shoved his now free hands into his pockets. "I'm not really sure when any of this stuff is going to g down, but you best get this newspaper business of yours up and running soon, yeah?"

Narrowing her eyes for a moment the ghost ghoul gave him a very long stare before releasing the mean look."I'm WORKING ON IT," she pouted then turned the video clip off and held on to the phone carefully.
"When it gets distributed you won't know how to handle yourself. " Pepin turned and fiddled around with the locker she'd been in. Backpacks went missing all the time, right? Placing the phone in a small pocket she removed the bag and slung it over her back.
"Gotta protect the evidence man."

"It will be that amazingly fantastic, will it?" Mot asked with a smirk.
Mot stared at Pepin as she rifled through the locker like it was hers. He assumed it was hers. That was her phone, her bag, her locker. Was the last locker she went in hers to? Maybe she just liked hanging out in them, or perhaps all lockers were linked by a fancy vortex?
Ooooh...
"Of course, right... did I ever get your name?" Come to think of it, she'd just been known as that one ghost that calls him meat shield. "I'm Mot, by the way."

"Mot? Wow that's like.. short for Meat Shield! How convenient." Pepin grinned. "I'm Pepin Molyneau. I'd be honored if I could commission your assistance again in the future eh?" she winked deviously then proceeded to pat him on the back.
"You did well reaper. You did really damn well."

"Y--..yeah sure." Mot resigned to his fate. He was Meat Shield. He supposed he could deal with it. It wasn't as if the ghoul was blatantly cruel about it.
Her proposal made him laugh. "I suppose if I'm not too busy with anything else, I could try and be of assistance." Mot did love a good adventure. While the incident in the hallway had been close to danger, it didn't put him off of the idea.
Oh? Praise? Coming from the glitch ghost no less. Mot grinned, rubbing his neck bashfully. "Well Shucks, little lady. Thanks a bunch." It was a nice reward for managing to tough it out during the whole ordeal. He'd managed to get it all on camera after all.

Pleased to hear that Mot was so easy about his given job, the glitch ghoul thrust herself forwards into a hug with the reaper. "Yessssssssssss!" Pepin hissed excitedly. She had her high-profile-situation cameraman. No job would be too tough for them now.
"No problem. NOW." Pushing him away from her own hug Pepin sneered and started skipping backwards. "I have to go re-analyze this for the story. You take care now Mr. Mot!"
