Zar pleased Riley infinitely. It was almost palpable in the air, how cozy she felt. He reminded her of home. All the venom in his voice and suspicion in his words, he could have been a mindflayer in another life. She snuggled into her seat, and patted the one next to her other side, giving Jericho a fond expression.
Come, Jericho. Sit down and meet my new, dear friend Zar. And Nuru, who is getting to know Shehk apparently. Growling at one another was a sign of affection in the canine culture, much like her own, Riley assumed. Zar is very interested in the intended outcome of the battles we wage. He goes so far as to suspect me - ahh.
The sound that left her was an audible hiss, as Invictus came to join them. She held her hand out for the Horseman, palm downward, and her eyes flashed brightly as she rested them on him. My dear, sweet Invictus. I was wondering when I would see you again.
She stood, her entire body stretching to it's full height, and dipped her head slightly to him. Her eyes slit thin. You and I have much to discuss, at your earliest convenience, of course.

Tybalt seemed to be shrinking down smaller in his seat, though that could have been Ren's imagination.
The black dog really was very short.
"Only because I couldn't reach your little head," Ren deadpanned, then gave Tybalt a withering look, scowling as announced, with a smirk, "That was LW."
"Mmhmm," said Ren, and quick as a flash his tail snapped out, knocking the phone clean out of Tybalt's hands, where it flew a foot and landed neatly within Ren's fingers.
He flipped it open, only to read another message from one Fell Nevermore.
"Riiiiight. What didya do, tell him about our 'date'?"
....what.
Ren quickly typed out a response.Kyrieko A date already? My my, little wolflove, why didn't you invite me to all the fun?
"JOVE!" called Ren, waving an arm. "Jove, over here!"

Nuru was equally unaware of Zar's presence in the face of what he deemed to be humiliation. He didn't like being poked or prodded let alone being called what he saw as a terrible name in the process.
Still, despite it, he wasn't rude. He kept his eyes fixed on her but still managed to drum up a calm if a bit stiff reply to Jericho.
"Nuru." He said it in a way it almost sounded like a single syllable grunt.
"Hunters? Dangerous how?" This though he asked a bit more softly. Quickly shifting his gaze from Shehk to Jericho and then back to Shehk again as if she where going to attack him if he took his eyes off her for too long.
He didn't seem the slightest bit moved by her apology but wow that scolding look she gave. If he weren't sitting his tail would have duly tucked just then. Floppy ears lowering just a smidgen as he looked over at Merope and saw just how troubled they seemed. Oops. At least the boil looked sorry.
He was too distracted by all the chaos to really even register Jove's passing stare in the moment. Unlike those he tries to watch, he's rather oblivious to being stared at himself.
But at least Riley's words gripped him. Making him raise a brow at Shehk with an accusing glare.
"Shehk huh?" At least he assumed that is who the remark was aimed at.

Zar shot Jericho a cold look for his comment, a look which he hoped would get across the fact that he intended to mess with whosoever he wanted to. He crossed his arms and his hooves at the same time, leaning back in his chair, his posture somewhere between in control and defensive.
This didn't last long however. There were some students in the school he recognised vaguely, there were some he didn't recognise at all. But there was four specifically he found it very difficult to forget. As such he couldn't miss Invictus as he approached.
He felt like there was ice in his gut, uncertain which he felt more towards the other boil, actual honest fear or dislike. Somewhere along the way Zar had convinced himself that the ones at the heart of events at amityville, the individuals running the show, were the four students he saw time and again, often at direct odds with other students in battle. And almost always these altercations ended badly for Zar and amityville as a whole. So he had unfairly cast them as the enemy. It was for this reason he gave Invi a look of malice as he was examined, only holding off on a scathing comment by that terror that wouldn't release him.
It was impossible now for him to deny that Riley had something to do with the very inner circle of the plots at Amityville, wondering if she was the means of connecting the four to the student body at large. She was in a position to be a mouthpiece - what a pun for someone with no mouth - to the student body.
"I'm a little past suspicion at this point." he muttered coldly in an undertone as he watched her outright conspire to further plots no doubt, right under his nose. He let his claws bite into his palm all the more as he observed. "And it seems that the others are either numbed or oblivious. Bravo. I would be congratulatory if this whole situation didn't set me at mortal peril"

Merope stared at Shehk. He raised a hand and stared at it, taking a moment to give his lack of a glow a meaningful look before ticking off a list. "Let's see. My own minipet nicely flayed a good portion of my skin, I was mobbed by two grayed-out things that not only crushed and shattered my ribs but also made sure that I was also flattened to the point of dissipating. Except when I respawned I was still injured and the nurse wasn't there. Next thing you know, there's something big going on outside the school. I drag my tail there, and guess what? Dissipated again. I don't even remember what happened." His voice rose as he spoke, tightening with a hint of panic. Merope shook his head and slumped forward, resting his bowed head in his hands. After a moment, he spoke again. His voice was normal as he said, "So. No, I'm not exactly doing alright. How are you?"

Israfel turned his head sideways, "Maybe. I am around here lots. Did you run for a student office? I did. Sort of but not really. I like your coat. Can I sit next to you? It is very nice the snow is gone and things will go back to normal. I'm Israfel by the way. Do you like the snow? I find it much too cold and wet." BLAHBLAHBLAH

.......... Jackdammit, he was doing it again. Roch's expression went blank as he realized what he'd just done. The situation had taken him right back to the argument with Herryk in the middle of the battlefield, and he'd jumped before he was jumped this time. Candlewax, he'd thought he'd gotten over that when he kicked the big man's a**, but it seemed he still had issues with possessive boilfriends/friends. "Sorry," he said quietly, running a hand over his face. "This... jack, I was--" He gave Lark a little grin that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Actually, he's right. I'm being an a**." Then he turned and dropped down in his seat.

Shehk gave Nuru another innocent look.
"Don't look at me that way. Seriously, I said I didn't mean to offend you." she frowned, her ears drooping as the glow in her eyes dimmed in a sort of pathetic sad way. She leaned in her seat and offered him a smile and her hand. "Yep, I'm Shehk Iordanescu, I'm Public Relations on the Student Council." she didn't try to emphasize that too much at Zar's back. Whether or not he'd remember that she had been the one kidnapped by the Master Hunter was up to him. Then again, he may have set it up as being a plan and that she'd been kidnapped on purpose.
Even if she couldn't get that scent out of her brain, it tormented her, making her crave food in a way she normally didn't, especially after catching a hold of it again and trying to catch it, just for him to get away from her.
Damn Hunter.
"And you're Nuru, based on how you just introduced yourself to Jericho you're...adjusting." she nodded and offered him another smile, before she looked back to Merope who...
...
She made a sort of nasal whining noise as she moved from her seat, moving to sit closer to the boil and put her arm around his shoulder and leaning her head against the side of his gently, her ears in a passive position.
"I'm sorry, Merope." she said, patting his shoulder and rubbing her hand down his back with a very sympathetic look on her face. "I have to admit everything that has happened since......" she trailed off and she took one shaky breath before she shook her head. "It seems like it has been too long since anything made sense around here. We'll figure it out." she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "Alright? You just keep your chin up. You keep your chin up, and I'll keep my chin up, and we'll both end up alright." she tried to sound encouraging, but there was a small hint of sadness in her voice.
----
Invictus knew that hiss wasn't too pleased, and he was well aware that Riley probably had half a mind to berate him for his decisions.
"We're fortunate that we have such luxury as conveniences at this point." he answered in turn, lifting to kiss her fingers before he relinquished her hand back to her, his formality complete. "But I will always make time for you whenever you should require it." He purposely turned his attention to Zar now, his expression still as unreadable as it ever was to the public, before he looked back to Riley again.
"The uninformed often make foolish assumptions when they lack the bravery to face the truth. However, I know you are better than that, so I will face what concerns you may have for my actions, but know now that I will make no apologies for them."
He paused as he drew away, "I will speak with you later, then." Invictus's eyes went back to Zar again, "and you as well if you wish to make those muttered accusations more public. I will say now, if you do find problem with the heirs, bring it to me. The girls are...less forgiving than I am."

He nodded to Herryk. "Yes yes, got lotta games! Should show you n' Freya s-sometime." What better way to catch up than over a competitive game of Scario Kart? But then his friend began to speak to someone else he didn't see.
"Mrr?" Letting his head fall back against the chair so that he might see who Herryk was talking to behind him, Mort caught sight of a pair of cataract eyes and a bright smile. "Oh! Hai there." Herryk introduced them all already, so the zomboil nodded when his name popped up. "I-Is new here?"
And then - ah, Freya! Mort grinned as she slid into Herryk's lap and the pair went, er, googly, or whatever the term for it was. Sometimes it was strange to see a boil as large and muscled as Herryk melt so quickly. "Is g-good see you too!" he managed to comment once there was a lull in their conversation. "Herryk s-said should play video games sometime together."

Junko had been busy trying to convince Seiji to leave his room and stop being a lazy thing avoiding any conflict he could, and it was apparently a losing battle. She loved him too much to give up. She would get him out of his room.
But she wouldn't allow herself to miss an assembly. She was the student council vice president! She had to go to things like this! Plus it was nice to know what was going on...
She was quiet as she slipped into the auditorium, eyes wide when she realized there were suddenly quite a few students wandering around that she did not recognize. Junko swallowed hard, ignoring the nagging feeling in her gut telling her it was just like when she first arrived. No, Junko. You've gotten better. A few new faces is no big deal. And it isn't like you can exactly hide in the background anymore even if you want to.
Someone save her. QQ

"Little..? You're still going on about my height!? I'm not that short you know!" He fumed, his anger only growing when Ren successfully smacked the phone out of his hand.
"Ren--hey! That's mine! Give it back!" He growled, holding his hand out and waiting for the item to be returned. Which of course, didn't happen. Just as soon as Ren finished typing in a message of his own, he pocketed it.
"Seriously Ren, give it back!"
- - - - - - - - - -
Fell read the response, followed by LW's own text reply and snorted. Just watching them bicker a few rows down was proving it difficult not to laugh, but reading the text messages while watching? Now that was asking the impossible.
With a small grin, she held out her hand for the phone.
"I don't know what its about, but," Her eyes got a mischievous look when Ren's text message arrived. "lets experiment a little."
She took the phone, typing in a quick message of her own before she hit the send button.kuromeez Text: My~ Little wolflove? That's a new one. Might I ask, who are you and how did you get my number?

Freya felt like she was on cloud nine, looking up into Herryk's eyes with absolutely disgusting adoration. She reached up and started braiding his hair into little braids, when Mort spoke up. She squealed and almost vaulted out of Herryk's lap as she reached all the way over, and wrapped her arms around Mort. "I missed yeh, where has yeh beens! I haven't seens yeh in foreverrrrr. Yeh should comes and visits me more oftens, or I'm goings teh thinks yeh don't likes me anymore." Inches from his face, she gave him her most dedicated pout. "Yeh don't likes me anymore, does yeh Mort?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Jericho turned to see Invictus joining their little party here. He as more trusting of Conquest now, having gotten to know him a little better than the guy who forced Riley to bow down and hap-hazardously flung them across a room full of traps. "Of course," he nodded to the heir of Conquest, before looking to Nuru, "Nice to meet you. And.. yes. Let's just say their existence isn't very healthy for Halloween."He didn't know how much he should say in public, but hopefully that would give the canine somewhat of an idea. At least he seemed more open to it than the demon was. Though he didn't voice it, he had to agree with Invi in regards to his comments towards the guy. If he kept up that thought, he may end up 'joining' the other side. With or against his own will.

Hel meant to greet the new student who approached, she really did, but she got distracted. “ Freya!’ She cried happily. “ I have not seen you in forever, and yet you are my sister and we live right next to each ot—“ Then she went and draped all over Herryk, and Hel’s mouth instantly pulled into a frown. Wait…wait…Hel knew her sister…she could read the unspoken language. Her brows furrowed as she placed a hand on Mort’s shoulder to steady herself as she leaned over the zomboil so that she could rightfully glare at her sister. “ GROSS!” She cried, pointing an accusing finger at her sister. “ You need to be paying attention and taking matters more seriously, sister!”

Christof had limped his way quietly into the assembly, looking ready to lurk in the back recesses of the room as usual until he spotted more and more of the student council all assembling.... curious what he was missing, he made his way over timidly only to spy an increasingly familiar pale face and equally pale set of horns. Zar. His eyes narrowed. First he was elbowing in on Barth. Now sweet talking his Mistress? No. No. There was only room for ONE secretary in the student council, thank you! Mistress, are you in need of anything? He kept his thoughts level although it was difficult to suppress the growing anxiety, his eyes locked on the demon everyone seemed to be atwitter over.
