Al winced looking scolded... but still obediently pulled his hand back to scurry over to Zar. Awaayyyy from the tree. But right next to Zar.
"Ohh-kayyyy~" He mock-whined as he flopped his head on Zar's shoulder. Face first. Trying to look defeated but his ears perked and twitching tail giving away his true playful mood.
"I was hoping this fight would have been more... well.. more." He sounded almost disappointed as he rolled his head back to have his chin propped on Zars shoulder as he idly gazed at the side of his face with an unreadable expression.
"What now?" He mused thoughtfully with a very soft tone.

Zar gave Al another one of his now-fairly-common scandalised looks, still to this day startled by the faun's complete disregard for his little bubble of personal space. And it seemed no amount of do-you-realise-what-you-are-doing stares would alert Al to this horror either, the other boil was apparently immune to hints.
"More what? Bloody? Painful? Terrifying? Because you know, those things I could really do without. I'm still having nightmares about the last fight and the chaos a bunch of rebel students can cause." he liked to rant. Ranting always made him feel better, and at the same time let him pretend his startled yell from before had really just been some sort of irritation rather than panic at Al getting potentially ambushed.
He gave him a slooow sidelong look. "And you do realise you are on my shoulder?"

"Noooo~" He cooed affectionately before quickly adding to clarify, "Just... defended itself a little. Yanno?"
He quickly griiiinded his chin against Zars shoulder lightly as if to make a point before going with the change of subject.
"Yeah? So what of it?" He replied with a huge stupid grin.
He was risking getting a good back hand and he knew it. Just didn't quite care right now. They still couldn't escape. They still couldn't avoid the obnoxious music or that awful stench of peppermint. But WORST OF ALL he was still oh so very hungry and couldn't exactly remember the way to the food court from here.
"What should we do now?" He asked idly. Somewhat concerned at this point that things still seemed... well... he couldn't put his finger on it. Still, it seemed odd staying right nearby the big scary "dead" tree like they were.

"I like it better that it didn't send its legions of horrible little things after us and that all my limbs are still attached, albeit a bit bruised from that fall." He did give Al another serious look as he continued to keep his chin right where it was and even had the audacity to rub it on him just to make a point. He went from scandal to looking utterly nonplussed.
"You know how I feel about being touched" he emphasised the word as if it was some manner of horrible illness. "Besides, your chin is surprisingly sharp, I'll end up with another bruise."
He flicked his tail but still didn't actually shove Al off like before, even though negotiations seemed to be going at an unimpressive pace. "Well. I err..we could....I don't know. Move. Away. From this thing. The smell's making my eyes water."

"From what I've heard it's hetic here all times of year. You should read what the paper has to say about the town around the school and the school it's self." He glanced back towards the tree, it was no longer moving and Sharpie was happily trotting his way back over with a rather obvious spring in his cat walk step.
"As for burning the tree..." He reached down picking Sharpie up for once gently placing him on the shoulder. "We can make that happen." Sharpie said finishing up where the Reaper started. Together they walked towards the tree waving Poke to join them.
Slowly they weaved between another two Boils, Zar and Al. "Pardon gentlemen. I'm here to prune a tree." Once near he set Sharpie down. "Get to work cat, around the base if you will. Let the rest of it fuel the fire. Too much Ink and we'll have this thing burning seven days and seven nights."
With a quick nod the cat started to hop around the tree's base clawing its way along dragging ink from its tail all around the base.
False turned to Poke now, "You're a dragon, how come you aren't setting the thing on fire?"

Lou had about readied another bulb into the fabric cup until the tree froze. "... How queer." Looking down at the bulb, he shrugged and tossed it anyways, probably hitting something entirely different thanks to his piss poor aiming skills. When Zee happened to flop all her weight down on his head, Lou literally was blind as a bat, thanks to the opaque set of sweater muffins hanging in his face. "mphrahrrasljr" Hey, this was pretty much motorboating, wasn't it? Well alright then. Since his arms were free, he used his hands to free his face, if only long enough to speak clearly.
"Ah, yes. You were about to buy me something, no?" Hell, if she was going to forget it, so was he. The vampire didn't rightfully give a ******** about the fact that there had just been a throw down. If the lady wanted to shop, so be it.

"The paper, huh?" She might have a read at the paper, but for now she just followed Faint towards the tree, the prospect of the seeing it going up in flames making her excited.
"Hello to you good sirs!" She said to Zar and Al as well, giving them a brief wave. "we're gonna burn this here tree down" Okay well, the boil was gonna do i, not her. But at the moment she didn't care. Grinning from ear to ear, she watched the cat familiar start to draw a line around the tree.
Poke's grin faltered when Faint asked her why she wasn't doing it. "Well...I don't have any flame powers. I'm a...aquatic dragon, so to speak. I'm more inclined to water then I am fire... and I don't think water would do us any good here. Besides making it grow bigger."

Al watched the mage walk around them towards the tree. Keeping his chin still on Zars shoulder despite Zars best protests. He looked on thoughtfully as he watched the strange cat-thing drawing around the tree with what appeared to be ink. Frowning at the dragons talk of burning at this point.
"Do you guys really think it's wise to start a fire. In a place where we're barred up?" An idea that had long since occurred to him after last time it was being discussed.
"I'd really rather not choke to death now that it's finally stopped spawning things." He finally sliiiid his chin from Zars shoulder to bob his head at them.
He turned his gaze back to Zar with a little playful smirk, "If it's bruised you can just tell all the other boils that the most popular ghoul in school gave you a hickey."
He chuckled boisterously before returning his thoughts and gaze on the others. Hoping they don't let their guards down either. Granted.... he was still sooooooooo hungry and really hoped the food court might at least be up and running again... or maybe one of the shops nearby sold rat jerky? Either way his tummy was ga-rowlin' and the result was a pitiful stare in Zars general direction.
((not sure if I should quote. Pretty sure you lot are a loomin.))

...and then... The Giant Tree exhales, and a thin wisp of fog escapes from it's mouth. The color begins seeping out of it's face and body, leaving a spreading tracery of grey. One eye opens, and then the other, this one a bright shining blue. It lets out a slow, grumbling moan, and it's branches begin to shake and sway once more. O CHRISTMAS TREE
Status: The tree thrashes about violently causing 9 damage to everyone in the area!Not only is this like a new round, it's like a new fight altogether. So Cumulative damage is reset and your FEAR abilities are refreshed!

It was....over? That quickly? Ralph eyed the offensive foliage, thinking someone should really destroy the thing before it possibly came back. He was kicking himself, thinking how earlier he hadn't helped the ghoul that had helped him, ashamed of himself. Though she was pretty tough, fending the thing off by herself. And he had to admit, it was kind of funny watching a full-out poke war. Oh, they really were gonna set the thing on fire....COOL~! He grinned. He wanted to help, but it was always uncomfortable when his metal heated up too much. Spotting the ghoul that had helped him, he sauntered over, making sure not to get in the way. " You, ah, feeling alright?" He asked her, nervously shuffling his feet. Suddenly the tree came back to life. JACK-DAMN~! He growled as he was flung back slightly, cursing the tree once more. My HP: 21/30 Damage dealt: --- Collective damage to the boss: --- Notes: Ralph is a flying hunk of cursing metal~

Zar realised that Al actually..really had a point about setting the tree on fire while they were locked up here with it. He was particularly flammable himself so he really didn't want to get hit by flaming leaves. Still, he didn't so much as nod, his entire posture incredibly stiff the whole time Al insisted on keeping his chin on his shoulder.
Still, he did blink and gave Al a baffled look at his statement. "What's a hickey?" Was it some sort of confectionary?
He was about to demand even more details, and inform Al that the most popular ghoul in school would probably eat him alive for implying such things when the tree came back to life. And with serious vim and vigor too. He was even caught by a stray branch and sent rather harshly tumbling to the floor in another undignified clatter of hooves and horns, this time however, desperately trying to seize Al on the way down and possibly dragging the faun with him.
My HP: 14
Damage Dealt: N/A
Collective Damage to Boss: ?
Anything attacked/attackers should note: Smacked with branch.

" Well." Al started to explain. " Y-you see.... uhh... it's like... you... suck on the skin or k-kinda bite it 'till it gets all bruisy." He was oddly flustered by the prospect of EXPLAINING such a thing. Part of him thought Zar knew and was just toying with him. He WAS an incubus after all. This moment though however awkward and embarrassing was shortly lived as the tree not only erupted with life - but slapped Zar to the ground with a stray branch. Zar, whom grabbing a horn - took Al down with him. Al was tugged down so harshly he was not only swept off his hooves but landed upside down on his back at Zars side. Letting out the most pitiful bleat of agony as he tried to rub enough brain cells together to figure out what bus just hit him. His hooves were held aloft in the air as his knees drew tighter to his chest. He couldn't even begin to utter his bafflement at what had just transpired.  My HP - 21 Damage Dealt - NA Collective Damage to Boss - ? Anything attacked/attackers should note - Hes stunned. On his back. Bleating pitifully.

"....ah....." Poke hadn't thought that far ahead, and thus had not considered that starting a fire inside a closed area were they could not escape. Damn. She was really looking forward to the tree burning down. But she didn't want to get stuck in a fire herself. "I guess you right..." She said to Al, then hearing someone behind her turned to see Ralph was back. "Yeah, I guess I'm alright." As alright as she could be at the moment. And then, the boils weren't there anymore, and the dragon ghoul looked up at the huge tree that had come back to life. She had but a few seconds to try and get out of the way, but was instead smacked a good few meters away, landing in a heap on the floor. "...s**t..." At the moment, she could only manage to roll over and sit up awkwardly. Had she broken something? It sure felt like it. My HP: 8 Damage Dealt: 1 Collective Damage to Boss: ?? Anything attacked/attackers should note: Poke is now on the floor, not able to get up yet.

Ralph groaned and clutched his head. Was this jacking tree that powerful? He took personal stock. Nothing snapped, only a few dents and some bent pipes on his arm. He could feel some of the gears in him grinding awkwardly, and it took some effort for him to stand up on wobbly legs. Looking around at the aftermath of the tree awakening, he saw a few boils scattered about, but he was really searching for the ghoul...Poke he thought he remembered her tell him. He found her laying a few feet from him, obviously hurt. Anger boiled in him, and he turned his attention to the tree. Reaching for his Key-merang, which had miraculously landed close to him, he launched it at the tree, vengence on his mind. And he missed, but he'd care about that later. He was scrambling over to Poke after he caught his key. "Are you okay? Are you hurt bad? Do you need help?" He desperately wanted to help this ghould...who would possibly become his only friend. My HP: 21/30 Damage Dealt: 0 Collective Damage to Boss: ??? Anything attacked/attackers should note: Ralph's trying to be a medic
