Shun had finished another delivery and was now on his way back to the agency to see if more were needed. However, he paused for a few moments, to look off at the large and dangerous looking structures that were nearby. He still didn't have much of an idea of what this place was. Sure, the area as a whole was a desert, but that didn't say much for what the structures were. They looked old. Ancient even. Something about the area also seemed like there may have once been a tremendous battle here, judging what appeared to be dark bloodstains. He could be wrong on that front, however.

Solia was basically someone who knew she shouldn't be wandering on her own yet did it anyway under the notion that nothing bad could go wrong. Of course bad things happened all the time. They happened regularly. For Solia, the bad things that day included running back into a halloweener that had intended to kill her- and who'd given her little crumbs of the bread trail that was her weapon's past. "I take it things will be much like last time?" Israfel while summoned, remained lowered, and Solia kept her arms open to his sight. "I'm still not really wanting to fight anyone you know."

Shun whirled around at the voice, recognizing it. Once he saw Solia there, he narrowed his eye and his weapons were called out in a flash. Edel had mentioned hunters were present, not that he really needed a lot of proof. It was little surprise, really. "That depends," he started, speaking lowly. He crouched down into his fighting stance, but he made no move against her, "As much as I'd like to leave you as nothing more than a corpse on the sand, I get the feeling we both may have other priorities currently."He gritted his teeth lightly. He hated the hunters deeply, but there was a time and place for everything. Unfortunately, given that they were more or less humans themselves, they may have a better idea of what was going on here. "What is this place and why is there apparently an abnormal amount of human deaths? If you have no answers, leave and I won't drive my blades into your body."

She didn't relax, but Solia did sling Israfel over her shoulder, wincing when some of the flowers caught and tugged at her hair. "Well... aside from the usual you mean?" She looked to the remains. "Hunters are pretty self explanatory- We come in, we fight something, die horribly... that sort of thing. For others......" Solia walked over, foot tapping a skull. "It's a variable. This is some sort in between space as far as I can tell. Insanity and FEAR mixing- Some of these remains might not even be those of humans but rather humanoids as far as I know."

Shun shook his head. "Halloween leave no corpses. But that wasn't why I asked about human deaths," he stated before furrowing his brow. He was at a bit of a loss right now. Here was a chance for more information, but it involved having to apply some level of trust in a hunter. Anything she gave him could end up being false. He didn't relax at all. Nor did he dismiss his weapons. "There's reports of there being bodies everywhere. Reapers are working over time to reap them before the horsemen apparently," he stated lowly, "What do you know of this?"

Solia looked off towards the sky pretending she hadn't just avoided answering a question. Nope. Nope she totally had answered what did you mean that it wasn't true- A sigh she broke down, swinging Israfel back and forth as she tried to give the reaper a straight answer. "Alright to be honest... I don't know." She motioned at the bodies with her free hand a bit at a loss. "We were told it's an S-class, er, thats a really crazy level important, mission. Recovering the bodies and weapon tablets is kind of the go to right now, along with dealing with the various insanity creatures." She frowned, one body looking far to small to have been anything but someone utterly young. "Best bet is that we came to stop something and it went bad. Really bad."

"Insanity?"Shun narrowed his eyes then looked around. From his experiences, Insanity came in the form of a fog of sorts. There certainly wasn't any of that right now. He paused for the moment at the mention of recovering weapon tablets as well. Right. When a Hunter died, they dropped those stone tablets. Most likely they had been killed as a result of whatever was going on here. He wasn't sure how big the organization was, but he had a feeling that there wasn't quite enough of them to be triggering the sort of response for the Reaping Agencies like it did. More likely than not human deaths were happening before the Hunters came in even. He could be very wrong, however. It didn't really explain why he and other students were suddenly brought here. Halloween in general, along with the hunters seem to be trying to clean things up. And who knew what the hell the horsemen were up to. "Ok. So that just supports my theory of something really shitty is going on," he muttered under his breath. The great calamity that was whispered as a warning came back to mind.

She puffed up her cheeks, shuffling in sand as she looked around, wondering if there might have been any other indicators of what had occurred and what might still have been going on. "I could tell you what the exact mission I was given if that would help?" She doubted it would, Caelius's orders vague at best in terms of specifics. "We're told not to engage for starters. Your kind or horsemen. Well. Okay not entirely true." She admitted. "We're supposed to keep you out of 'our' area." Finger quotes. "But outside of that avoid confrontation, which to me means just don't fight. Unless they're bonkers I mean sometimes people are like that and then nobody wins really." Solia stood realizing she'd been running her mouth off. "Er...yeah."

Shun couldn't help but feel some sense of suspicion that Solia was giving him information so freely like this. However, he did recall their last encounter where she spouted off wanting peace and the like. Had it been another, he might have felt more of an inclination that he was being fed bad intel. It was still a possibility here so he was taking her words with some sense of wariness. Still it was something to consider. "I'd rather not wander into 'your' area anyway. Last thing I need is to end up being surrounded by your kind," he murmured before narrowing his eye, "It sounds like you're here strictly for cleanup. More or less."It really didn't help much for piecing together what was going on. "There's a Reaping agency stationed in the area handling the influx of deaths, I suppose," he gave in return. Information for information. He didn't like this exchange, but he would remain fair for the time being. "All I can say is they're ******** busy right now. Might be an exaggeration but someone was complaining that they'd never get the reapings finished."

She chuckled Israfel flicking with a shared amusement at the idea of anyone willing going into hunter hands. No one wanted to, not unless they'd been invited. But with everything as it was Solia doubted that she'd see any hunter risking any common ground with the whole 'S class' thing happening. "Clean up or walking sacrifices. The guy who met up with us to pass out gear flat out called us disposable, so my guess is that they don't expect a high... return rate." Her frown was quick to form from the words though it vanished soon after. Brave face, no need to make herself glum or be a debbie downer. "But that's kind of surprising to hear about the reapers. I mean, we know that reapers usually handle souls and those who've 'turned over' so... why would they be here? Nothing is really coming back once it's been put down and we're disposing the bodies and tablets still lingering... So...." Again her gaze looked to the corpses of various humans. It was Israfel that made the suggestion. "Do you want me to fish around for you? I can't promise I'd find anything but if your kind are here in masse and we're not here to fight and we seem to both be cleaning up..." She shrugged. "It doesn't sit right."

Shun crossed his arms over his chest as he took this in. The idea that a large amount of hunters were called in as cannon fodder sounded nice to him, though his expression never shifted to hint at this at all. It didn't bother him at all that hunters were coming here to die. "I don't know why they've set up here specifically. They have an actual building.. it's not some temporary camp to deal with the death influx," he said with a furrowed brow. They weren't in Halloween. That much was obvious, so it was strange the agency would be stationed...wherever this place was. "I suppose it can't hurt. To say something doesn't sit right is an understatement," he said lowly, "Quite frankly, massive amounts of human deaths isn't good for Halloween either. The fact that students were randomly brought here.."He trailed off and shook his head.

Blinking Solia looked around, trying to find this so called building though there was nothing within her view. Then again, sand and wind hardly helped. "A building? Seriously?" She kept looking and still kept seeing just sand and dead things. "You'd think they'd tell us to keep an eye out and avoid it-" She muttered to herself. "Er, yeah. That's.. kinda news to me. If that's the case then I really don't know why we'd have so many of our dead here. There wasn't any talk of engaging halloween recently at all." The students part had Solia hesitating as she looked to the bow in hand, recalling a few of those who'd been Leary of hunters yet she'd made some gains with. If they'd been brought forward to this mess- Those gains would be lost and then where would she be? "I 'd rather not you guys involved at all. If this is something that doesn't involve you then why drag you here- It's just going to make things difficult down the road."

"Yes. A bloody ******** building. So they had set it up ahead of time or some s**t."Shun rubbed his head, then sighed. "Well it seems like whenever s**t happens everyone ends up involved anyway, one way or another. I truly do not like it. It seems today, though, you may not be the quarry I seek. Personally, I had come here through the Haunted House. One moment I was there, the next... here. The others may have had similar experiences."

Color Solia impressed. She'd never heard of a building or seen one and just- Well done, well hidden. "That's no good." She looked past him, wondering if the building was in the direction he'd come from. "Ahead of time means they predicted this in which case... That doesn't exactly help. Preventive action is better than recovery to me anyway." "Well at any rate, I don't think you're along in not liking whats going on. If the house brought you here-" She smiled. "Maybe it was your destiny? The house apparently has a funny way of helping sometimes."

"The house has also caused a lot of s**t in the past. I can't say for certain if it's helping or just trying to ******** with us."Shun gave a shrug, then began to back away. "If there's no more information, there's no need to prolong this encounter. I'd rather not deal with you lot more than I have to."
