Thick clouds of smoke nearly obscured the area near the groundskeeper's shed. It smelled kind of awful, but something about the stench was also strangely appealing. A large robot was chilling at the center of it, it's rider only partially visible through the smoke filling the hatch. Music played from it's speakers that did not quite go with what was blasting all over the school. It seems pretty satisfied with it's situation. Maybe it'll attack some stuff in a bit, but it's cool. Whatever.

Israfel knew what that was. Israfel knew what that was. He'd fought one. One that had been yellow. "SANTA SCOUT." he gasped. They were here. Revenge. This was for last year when they had gone into Christmas to do the things and punch trees. It smelt bad around here, and- was the robot malfunctioning? Flying over, he warily tapped on the glass. ".....I wonder if it's suffocating." Who knew.

......It didn't kill him. A grin. Maybe it was like that nice rescue reindeer! Not mean at all! "Hello!"
OvO
His face was almost pressed up against the glass. "What are you doing here?"

Alwine tried to swat the smoke away from her vision as she floated near the shed. She had left the theater in hopes of finding out what was going on, or even teachers to help out. Everything had gotten strange, stranger than before. Someone had mentioned something called 'Insanity'. Unfortunately, Alwine had no idea what they were talking about. Alwine had been absent for most of that horrible field trip on the island, so to her that mist had no name. She thought she noticed a lovely pair of wings, but the smoke made it hard to tell. What a strange smell that was, too. "Are you all right?" she asked the siren. Then she saw the source of the smoke, and that familiar mecha. "Oh my..."

The scout exhaled a lungful of smoke with a wheezing cough, "Just...you know. Chillin. What're you guys doin?"

She remembered fighting a robotic monstrosity, though the fact that she remembered most was its odd obsession with their Headmistress. Ew. I mean, not that she would ever judge oh-no. That would be mean. People probably thought that her taste in others was odd... it's just... it seemed to the haunt that adoring Hellma was a whole 'nother level.
"I'm not sure about others," Alwine said, very softly-- was the Scout just talking with them? He wasn't attacking them or anything. He was just... sitting there in the smoke. "I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Do you, perhaps, know what's going on around here?"

This loud musicy business was quite unsettling to Shine. After the fiasco that resulted in her being forcefully removed from her nice, quiet dorm room, this noisy annoyance was just too much. Just too much. She was going to have to seek better accommodations, apparently.
She wandered the grounds, hands pressed firmly against her ears. She still held a half-chewed lollipop in one of her hands, which was becoming stuck and tangled in her strawlike hair.
Then she came upon the giant candy machine. There was no other explanation for what she was seeing. It even had a real, working creature inside!
The zombie shuffled up to the candy machine and moved the hand that was holding her own candy, pulling some hair out with it. It didn't seem to bother her either way.
"Candy?" she inquired, "Candy like this?" She offered the lollipop in the candy worker's direction to make sure they were on the same page.

One very disheveled looking Drop Bear came sprinting past the shed, heading in the general direction of the theatre, when she spotted a certain Haunt and with a skidding stop that almost bowled them over changed directions towards her. Panting slightly she gave her ghoulfriend a wild grin, "Hey! Sorry I got separated, what've I missed?" It was then she noticed the colorful Santa Scout and gave a long pained groan. She remembered. She remembered. Seeing as it didn't seem to be in attack phase she decided to ask something that had been niggling at the back of her mind since she saw the first signs of Christmas, "I don't suppose a certain Ninja called Jingleberry came with you lot?" Jack she hoped not.

Oh there was a ghoul! Looking down he smiled. "I am good yes!" Looking at Rosie, Israfel waved. "I have not seen ninjas! I think this one is nice. He is not all stompy like ones one I met last year."
Israfel just perched on the robot. OvO faces for everyone.

"Oh, good," said Alwine. "I was afraid maybe the smoke was because of an explosion or some other horrible situation."
The smoking robot looked like a pirate with Israfel perched on his shoulder, and Alwine might have found it comical had the school not been trapped in a barrier and overrun with JOY-fiends.
"Jingleberry," Alwine repeated. She liked the happy, bouncy way that it rolled from her voice into the air. He had been so noble, so honor-bound to protect his land. Plus, she heard that he had punched some horrible creature to death. With his FISTS.
"How... frightening..." she said with a shiver. "I wonder what will happen if he's here. Will I-- we-- see him again?"
She glanced over at Mandy and her shoulders drooped guiltily. Her torch for the ninja that had insta-killed her really should've been put out long ago.

The elf just bobbed his head for awhile, and then realized that people were all talking. To him. About stuff. "Nice candy scary dude...dudette. Oh Jingleberry? Dude's been all like...missing and shit since last year. But maybe he hasn't. Because. You know. Ninja."

GASP! Ninjas! Israfel was immediately interested. "There are ninja pumpkins here. They hide and unless you have a protection charm bad things happen. Like mold." This was clearly a cause of concern for the siren. Cocking his head to his side the siren was curious. "Why are you all smoky? Are you smoking special things like the third years do sometimes when they think no one is watching?"

Mandy sent Alwine a look as she got all bouncy at the mention of Jingleberry. It was a look that said, what have I told you about inter-holiday romances? No. Just no?
Then the elf answered and Mandy found herself vaguely intrigued. All year? Hmmm.... Barth never had expanded on whether Jingleberry got away after appearing in their exam. She filed that away as someone to contemplate later. The elf could be right, it could just be a ninja being a ninja.
Then Israfel spoke up and Mandy found herself giving him a long hard look of bafflement. Nurse Cricket really needed to do another Sex Ed class. Soon. (She wasn't even going to comment on the third years.)
As he finished speaking though Mandy pulled her attention away enough to ask something else aside from the smoke that had been bugging her about the Santa Scout, "What's up with your paint job? Last time I checked you guys did all one color... not half rainbow half plain."
Then she hastily added so not as to offend and start the inevitable fight, "Not that theres anything wrong with the color scheme. It's just different."

Sammy had ran, the last time she thought of running from a fight had been Red. That was impossible then and the guilt of thinking to do so was bad enough. Now she ran again out into the snow of the school grounds skidding to a halt spotting students gathering around.
A Santa scout?
Slowly she trudged over, her body still in no shape to fight since the Rat King got up. "What, now you guys are here too?" She sighed turning to Israfel. "How long has this guy been here? He hasn't been wrecking the place too has he?"
She glanced to the scout, "I also don't suppose you would mind stomping on a rat problem we've been having would you? You guys are supposed to save people and stuff right?"
