In a burst of exasperation, Bul had managed to lose himself again. He'd arrived somewhere in the middle of a foggy mess panting and gasping to catch his breath when he'd realized that he was yet AGAIN alone. "********.." he hissed. If he had a choice he'd have stayed but challenging a horseman at their campsite with just two hunters was suicide. But was it strategic to run? Was it even intended to run? Was he WRONG to run? The horsemen had a grip on the half beast's courage. Fighting them in theory was one thing but being thrown right into their court on those circumstances right off the bat was terrifying.
It wasn't until he caught he breath that he realized he was shivering. Shivering in FEAR. At the first sign of trouble he actually ran. No, he slithered away. It was disgraceful. What would Nox think? What would Riley think? What would.... GALE think? Bul was swallowing lumps of guilt in his throat after having cast aside Deryk despite his utmost willingness to help. Jack, why couldn't he just..
Stayed.
"F....fffuuuuuccck..." Bul groaned as he circled the same paneling, the same flooring, and the same banister he'd climbed three times now. Bul leaned against the wall opposite to the iron spokes and slowly slid down it. The coast was clear but he felt like he still had to be on guard. Unfortunately he was now susceptible to anything this demon house had to throw at him.
Bul reached up and rubbed the sweat from the back of his neck but then left his hand. Wait why was any of this happening anyway? Fright Night was fantastic and there were no signs of trouble going on until the cleanup... for what reason did it happen then? He pondered quietly to himself in an attempt to hold back his feelings of woe, tail tapping the staircase irritably.

When Mei awoke, she could no longer here the voices that plagued her mind. Whatever, or whoever they were, they were gone, as were everyone else, even the taint.
Sitting up, slowly, she pulled herself to her feet, scanning the area for any sign of life nearby, only two lights. How did she even get here? She could barely remember anything that had happened, except.. "Jack.." What had she done? Vaguely, she recalled attacking her friends, and even the hunters, whom she was trying to prove herself too. Now, that might have all been for nothing. "Dammit..!" What was she supposed to do now? She couldn't go back to her friends--she tried to kill them! Not intentionally, she was a little crazy at the time, but still.. how could she even face them? The horsemen were the last people she wanted to cross paths with right now, and the hunters.. it was likely they were ready to kill her on sight after what she had done. Which brought her to Bul. He was with her when they ran into Gale and those other hunters.. was he..? No! He was fine! He must be! Gale wouldn't have let them do anything to him, surely. She could only hope for now.
Feeling light headed, she tenderly rubbed the side of her head and carefully stepping out when hearing a loud crunch under her feet. Glass? But from what? Their was also a liquid of some sort, but it was unknown to the doll. For now, she didn't consider it to be important, and carried to ignore the lights and walk in a random direction.
Despite seeing two lights, one warm, one cold, she found neither of them welcoming, and decided to keep walking for the time being. With any luck, she would find-
"B-Bul..?"
Was that him? It looked like the halfbeast, but could she really be that lucky?

And when that loneliness started to really sink in, Bul heard that soft meager voice.
GREAT. The insanity was BACK.
Bul let out a whine of defeat and buried his face between his bent knees. "Take me away fog, take me away and bring me to Mei-"
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2012 8:27 pm
When he didn't answer, she took a hesitant step towards the boil. There was no telling what had happened while they were apart, what he had been through, so she should approach him with caution.
When she finally did reach him, she paused to listen as he spoke before wrapping her arms around him in an embrace. "I'm sorry, Bul. I'm so sorry.. I messed up." It wasn't like she had intended to become insanity infected, but even so.. some of the things she had done, were unforgivable, even for her.

As the "fog" took him Bul felt a warm, homely feeling. So THIS is why they kept calling for home. That is, until he slowly looked up, finding his nose right between Mei's breasts. Okay...
Okay. This was real.
"Hmnfgmf.." Bul sputtered and looked up to meet Mei's eye. "M-Mei.." his face was twisted in disbelief. She looked normal!! She wasn't grey, she wasn't crackled more than usual, and she had her normal eye color! "Mei!" he exclaimed and quickly returned the hug, nearly sobbing with joy. "You didn't mess up!! No! I messed up!" he said rocking back and forth hanging on to her by the waist. "Are you- are you okay now? What... was it like?? I went back to the hunters' tent and I was hoping to find some help but... but they were kinda useless and kept getting attacked outside." he sighed.

Oblivious to the fact that she was almost smothering Bul with her chest, she held onto him still. It wasn't until he spoke that her hold on him loosened a bit. "I..I'm not sure. I don't know what happened. Jack, I've done some awful things. I was.. aware of what had happened, but I had no control over any of it. I even attacked friends!"
The doll froze when he mentioned visiting the hunter's tent. The fact that he was still alive and in one piece was a little reassuring, even if she did just possibly ******** up their chances of allying with them.
"You..they didn't hurt you or anything, did they?" Loosing a sigh, she only shook her head. "Well..considering everything going on, I think everyone is feeling a little useless at the moment. But I'm glad your okay."

Its okay man! If we have to we can always like go back and keep rping it after the meta ends! xD If we don't get removed from guild at least HAHAHA
"Awful things? W..what do you-" Bul's mind went back to what the hunters had been saying then blushed. He actually blushed for his ghoulfriend. She had ******** whooped their asses twice. "heh... heh.." he couldn't help giggling and snorting a little even in her distress. "You sent that red headed loud mouth packing his bags. We gotta talk to Gale about him-said some awful things.." Bul growled scratching the back of his head. "But you attacked friends too.. I'm sorry. You.. didn't attack me? If that makes you uh... feel better?" he said returning to the seriousness of the situation.
His tail swayed against the wooden steps and tenderly wrapped around her feet. "And the hunters didn't attack me either a couple freaked out, and what's even weirder, Caelisumfin totally didn't slice me in quarters. He knew I was there cause I'd followed him and nobody touched me," he shrugged. He also couldn't believe he'd talked reasonably to to them but he figured that was all over now. Well.. unless something else developed over the course of this nightmare.
"So I just.. I don't understand where we are now. I was walking with that Deryk guy and we went for a light but found it was the horsemen and I just bailed out as soon as I knew. Ugh. I feel like a jerk that kid prolly hates me.." he sighed. "I don't know where anyone else is now either so.." he frowned sadly.
For a moment he remained quiet.. that was until the sudden sound of laughter and amusement shook the silence. Bul immediately froze up, his spines sticking up and his body going on the defensive. But it was rather uncalled for when the reality of it was more of a... gentle fog sentient, unlike the centipedes and otherwise unpleasant creatures Bul knew lurked in the milky mist. "Mei... you're seeing this too... right?" he asked pointing down the stairs at the hallucination of the Fright Night below.

To his question, she only nodded. She had attacked, and hurt--possibly worse--to her friends, and even some hunters. How was she going to be able to face them again? After what she had done.. it was inexcusable, even if she had been infected by the insanity plague. "Who..?" She paused, realizing she already knew the answer to her own question. He was talking about the large hunter with red hair. The one that had been there when she was in confinement at the hunter base. If she wasn't so distraught over it all, she would have laughed as well. But now wasn't the time for that. "Awful things? Do I want to know..?" Probably not.
If there was any good news from any of this, it was that Bul had been to the hunter tent, and came out unscathed. Normally, most hunters wouldn't listen to reason, save for a small few. "Even Caelius didn't attack..?" Jack damn! If it wasn't enough for her to hear about the hunters not attacking, to hear that the death lead even stayed his blade..
"I don't think so.. From what I've seen of Deryk so far, he seems like a decent boil. Besides, I think this place and this fog has everyone on edge." Speaking from experience.
Startled a little by his laughter breaking the silence, Mei struggled to see what it was he was looking at. Blinking, she stared at what appeared to be fright night. "Wha..? I thought that fright night was over?" Surely this was.. maybe it was all in their heads.

It would have been super nice to stay and get on the hunters' good side, as shady as it was, to further sort of seal the deal that Bul was having a hard time making. Now even, after what they'd done (or in this case HADNT done) he was beginning to get back into the state of mind where he wanted to be out of their picture for good... but in order to do so it would require that schmoozing.
But towards the matter at hand-
Bul had near pushed them out of his mind completely when the haunting Fright Night figments started to play out around them, creeping up the stairs and forcing them in. For a moment it felt as though the stairs had removed themselves from beneath the two, and Bul struggled to stay balanced even as he sat there. His arms clung to Mei's and his tail now twisted around them both.
The figure that proceeded out of the fog now seemed to be addressing them and for a brief moment in time, Bul was certain it was Cael. Unwinding, he steppped forwards about to speak to the 'hunter' when it addressed him first. Now he was plenty uncertain. "I- I fight for us..." he began and was about to step closer when he realized he was completely paralyzed by... something? "Hnngh.." he wanted to look back at Mei, and clearly had trouble doing so but spoke to both of them the best he could. "We want to return to the norm you know... when we weren't ******** fighting for ANYTHING we were learning how to be better ghouls and boils..." he sighed unhappily.
Past the figure walked Seiji, Demi, Levi and West, Riley, Jericho, all of the people he'd come to know for whatever reason. Riley was leering next to Jericho, Seiji was shaking his head. Levi and West seemed worried, the anger swapping between them. And Demi looked frightened.. accusing. The boil swapped through each of his other personalities and none had something 'good to say'. Mei was still behind him.
The figure then continued to speak.
"I am not an unreasonable person. All I ask for is an exchange, and return of the things you have taken from me. You make your own choices; the choice is always yours to make."
"I dunno what I took from you man, but I always return favors. It's in my monster code- I ain't a demon-" he tried to reason with the figure but it seemed to be of no avail.
"Look, I never stole anything! Otherwise I woulda repaid you! For real I'm serious.." Bul frowned in dismay. Had he forgotten something? A promise maybe? Oh Jack now was NOT a good time for snot-antics to bite him in the a**...

This couldn't be real. She clearly recalled closing her booth, and assisting in cleaning the aftermath of it. "What do you suppose..?" Asking was kind of pointless, as Bul was just as much in the dark as she was.
She didn't struggle or anything when he held onto her, in fact, she was grateful for it. This place was starting to creep her out more and more by the second. Dealing with the original haunted house was one thing, but this--it was insanity.
Watching Bul step forward, she cocked her head to the side, curious as to who he was talking to. That figure with the weapon in hand, perhaps? There was a strange air about them, but somehow, she found herself respecting them. Why? She had no idea. She hadn't even seen them before today. "Pardon..?" Power? And for who? Maybe they had the wrong person? Staring at the figure in silence, she listened without interruption until they finally demanded that they return something stolen--something she had stolen? "I'm not sure--No this is crazy!" Placing her hands over her head, she instead decided to ignore them altogether as she squeezed her eyes shut.
Close your eyes and wait for the shapes to go away. (Do nothing)

"Stubborn, aren't we? No matter."
Bul really wished he could get Mei to back him up on this one- but she too was being plagued by the figure's influence. And either way, how the hell would she know what he owed and what he hadn't? For some reason she seemed like she would know, she was a lot more organized than him he.. assumed. Already something didn't feel right. From the moment the weapon went through his head in an ICY blast of air, he felt a little off. "Uh...
That... was the weirdest.." he began to speak and looked around from his hunched position, finding himself able to move again and turned to see Mei trying to fight out something in her head. For a moment he felt the hairs on the back of his neck practically quiver like his spikes. "Mei it disappeared-" he said also realizing the fright night displays had done the same. Where were they now? It was as if they were outside the range of matter. The fog was just SO WHITE and blinding where no longer the shapes of the house could be defined even by the blurriest silhouette. It took an idiot to not know there was something boiling below.
Slowly but surely the smell of blood was filling his nose and Bul instinctively reached up to his own in case it was bleeding. His Fear was spiking and ebbing, convincing him it was totally normal. What he wouldn't notice on both he and Mei was blood starting to stain their clothes and skin- blood that seemingly came from nowhere. "Uh... Mei...?"

How rude! To accuse someone of stealing from them, when they hadn't done anything of the sort! With her hands clamped over her ears and her eyes still shut, she tuned any further sounds out with a slightly louder hum, not that it worked. Raising her hands when Bul announced their departure, Mei stared at where they once stood. "Where did they go?" Did it matter? They were done! Finally!
It was a moment before she would realize the smell of iron in the air, her gaze fixating on Bul as he spoke again. "What?" Blinking, she realized that not only was she kneeling and pressing down on something wet and sticky, but there was a mangled body in front of her as well. "B-bloody Mary! Bul! You see this too, right? I'm not crazy, right??"
In any case--crazy or not--if this was real, she needed to do something! And Quick! "Bul, help me patch them up!"
Attempt to heal whoever (and whatever) it is.

If only it had been a nosebleed. Why couldn't it have just been a nosebleed? Bul would have rather had a little FEAR cold than... this. The monster boil stared his his ghoulfriend, wild-eyed, when he'd made the realization that he too was doused in the crimson liquid.
"oh ******** oh ******** oh ******** oh ********-" he panicked.
Wait
WAIT Wait wait wait wait.
Why were THEY panicking? The thought couldn't linger with the half beast for long though. Mei needed his help! They had to rescue this... body. Whoever it was. "J-just don't remove your hands okay? Don't remove them or it'll make it worse!" he stammered, though truth be told had no ******** clue why he thought that. The urging fog had nobody else to offer, no context, no clues, nothing just this body that needed their help.Healing this figure proved to be utterly useless in the long run.But something about the urgency kept Bul scrambling around in the fog, looking to find something to help, handing her instruments out of the mist that merely disappeared once touched. It was driving him BATTY.
"NNghmm.. gnghgm.." he stressed out over the body as it clearly started to lose lucidity. "********.. ******** I'm sorry-" he said, whether it was to Mei or the body was a mystery but his scrambling ended as soon as the figure coughed and turned its head to the broken doll. It was a horseman who thanked her. Bul was taken back, already squirming backwards away from the corpse. Was it... the guard he'd run into earlier? How did this happen? How were they before a horseman's body?? HOW??
Bul legitimately started to tear up, eyes stinging red. "What-is-happening-" he gasped. He didn't even know why he was crying!

Though they struggled to keep them from dying, it was pointless. They were too far gone, their wound was far greater than she had expected. It would take an extreme amount of healing to fix them. They were broken.
Shaking her head, she removed her hands from their wound when they failed to move any further. Whoever they were, they were dead now. Standing to her feet, she placed a hand over Bul's back, rubbing lightly. "At..at least they're no longer suffering. Come on, we should move." Staying around the now lifeless body was only going to make her go crazy. She felt terrible for not being able to save them. She was all about healing, so why?
The smell of something sweet blocked out the smell of the blood from the body, as she caught sight of someone or something standing a little ways off from where she and Bul stood.
"Oh, here again? Oh, well, I would love the help!"
"Now..I'm confused."

As the cooky scenario played out Bul was growing increasingly nervous and paranoid and the sudden dosages were noticed- but only responded to with more fear. While Mei wanted to press on, Bul couldn't help trying to stay behind until it faded into the fog, at which point he really did cry. Even with Mei's comforting hand, the snot monster was shaken. "I.. we... did we... do that? Mei please... please tell me we d-"
A major shift in senses occurred once again.
"H-help what- why didn't you help-?" Bul just naturally answered the figment before them. Whatever it was, female he presumed, the boil approached with complete suspicion... as he should. Okay lets step out of this particular moment in time for a second to talk about the fact that Bul had a secret love for making spookies. Didn't make them often, nor did he ever really /share/ that information but he did. Usually with bugs and stuff and after his incident with Cricket it was a challenge to do so in his right mind. But here... right now... he was no more inclined to reveal said hobby as he was to trust this figure. In fact his first inclination is to look for a way out of the room. Suddenly he knows she wants to show Mei his secret. He became so self-conscious that he began blushing wildly and turning away from Mei any chance their eyes met.
"No no she-" he muttered like an idiot before he backed up to the counter and landed his hand on afishy sort of object. Again he blushes. Oh no, this fish would add a perfect flavor to the mix! DAMN HIS INSTINCTS!! "Mei wh-what do you uh-uh-uh think would.. would help her out?" he asked grinning cheekily when really he was ready to puke from the nerves.
