Having so many "interns" around was certainly worrying. Edel would have liked to think that most of them were caught up with coffee duty but...
The ghoul stepped out the agency building, staring into the desert landscape in deep contemplation.
...
Stepping through a portal, the frost demon set off to look out for any lost ones.
Even though she might get lost.
Even though she knew full well that there were hunters out there.
Because, unfortunately, she felt like a responsible senpai.

Chel was aimlessly wandering the desert with Chris, a continuation of their dispatching insanity creatures duties.
"Oh, let's play eye spy. Ummmm. Okay, I spy something yellowish."

More deliveries. More s**t to do. Shun had finished sending something out so now it was a matter of getting back to the 'base'. He wiped his brow as he made his way over the harsh sands, and eventually spotted Edel once again.
"..Oi."

Chris pinched the bridge of his nose and tried not to sigh too loudly.
"Chel we're in a desert everything is yellow-ish. I'm not going to point out a particular grain of sand."

"Seen anyone around?" she called back, pulling her scarf back over her mouth as she trekked towards the reaper.
"I mean, any lost students," she turned around to spot two figures in the distance.
"Or hunters," she hissed, arming herself with two ice daggers.

"Ugh. Fine. If you must know, it was that one," she said, pointing to a random spot in the desert. "Number three billion and twenty six."
If there were figures in the distance, she definitely didn't notice them "We have to make this fun somehow." Maybe Chris should have partnered with someone else. "I'm boooooored."

"Spotted one hunter. No others yet," Shun stated before watching her line of sight. Two white coats could be seen in the distance. With narrowed eyes, he called out his own blades. He couldn't quite see who they were from here, but it wasn't hard to tell their affiliation.
"They seem to be crawling all over this damn desert, hm?"

He told himself she was just bullshitting him. There was no way she's counted grains of sand as they passed. It wasn't possible. Still, part of him worried for her mental health all the time.
"There's no way to make this fun. It's just a mission." He dusted at his coat as they walked. It was going to be orange by the time they left if they stayed out in the sand much longer. When he looked up, her noticed two figures in the distance. "Those aren't white coats," he said quietly. "Halloween?"

"Too many, there's something going on here," she replied, counting four hunters they've come across already. The ghoul flipped the dagger in her hand.
"What say you?" Edel had no qualms engaging with these hunters if she had to.

Chel squinted and tried to spy what Chris was seeing. There were indeed two figures, but she wasn't sure about what Chris said- plenty of people had dyed hair, and maybe they took off their coats because it was cold out.
"Well we aren't gonna find out here!" she announced, and then took off at a run. "OY! HEY! YOU GUYS FRIENDLY?"
It was a wonder Chel hadn't been killed yet.

Shun kept a hard gaze on the two hunters ahead, not glancing over at Edel when she asked him what the plan would be.
"I don't believe the hunters are responsible for this. Not this time. Assholes they may be, I don't think they'd be the sort to be slaughtering humans. Unless they're far more hypocritical than I realize," he uttered lowly.
"Stay on your guard. They may have information. First sign of hostility - give no mercy," he stated. And then one broke off into a run at them shouting if they were friendly. Narrowing his eye, he reached for one of his throwing blades and hurled it at Chel's feet. A warning shot.
"Don't come any closer."

Chris started running just a half a second behind Chel. Which, rude, because he was supposed to be in front defending. Jeez.
He grabbed on to the back of her coat as the knife thunked into the ground at her feet, trying to stop her from running any further. "We don't want a fight," he called back.
Which was probably a lie, considering his partner.

Edel stared at the two of them, clearly unimpressed.
Must be rookies.
The ghoul took a glance at Shun and turned back to the hunters.
"What business do you have here," she asked, raising her dagger. She would have been a bit more threatening if it didn't look like the ice dagger was already beginning to melt.

Chel pivoted onto her other foot, casually stepping over the knife near her foot and sort of twirling around it. "Ah neat!" she said, picking it up and putting it in between the strap on her goggles and her beanie- right near her ear. "Souvenir!" She did, however, heed Shun's word and keep her distance. No need to ruffle feathers that weren't undone.
She looked more huffily at the ice woman, who was harshing her vibes big time. "My business is saying hi! I'm Chel and this is Chris. Why are you guys in the middle of a desert. And before you're like "ohhh but why are YOU here," I was told to come here in the middle of the night and I'm not really jazzed about it so I kind of don't care about our duties."
Chel smiled at all three participants in the conversation and said, "So like I said, you guys friendly?"

Shun let out a scoff, but then paused. Chel and Chris were two familiar names. The fact that they were together made for a rather odd coincidence. He regarded them warily before casting a glance at Edel.
"We don't really know how the hell we got here. Just kind of got warped here and apparently s**t is going down," he stated. He didn't lower his blades, "Hunters are not and will never be my friends, regardless whether or not they were a part of Penumbra or not. Keep your distance and your weapons down and we won't attack."
The name drop was done casually. It was just a little test to see if his suspicions were correct.
