Tybalt's ears shot up at the various sounds coming from the office. It sounded as though there was hurricane raging through the place. Though the muffled yells told otherwise. Just what was going on?
Unsure of what to do, the black dog remained in place, ears perked, trying to catch any possible bit of the words being yelled. But shortly after the noise began, it was silent again. Whatever--whoever had caused that, had either stopped, or left, and Tybalt didn't care to find out the hard way. He would keep going, or as far as he could go and perhaps wait it out in the cave for a while. Besides, he was most curious about that trap door.
On the bright side. Now they could be pretty sure how the office had gotten into such a state.

"A ghost would be a good idea." And quite handy, at that. Like the other ghoul, she rested her eyes on the glowing ghost boil from earlier, smiling slightly, once again trying to make the expression encouraging. "Wait, go through the edges?" She turned to the pricolici, perplexed. She turned back to face the kumiho with the splintered pieces of wood, though. "Er, that doesn't look all that sturdy. It's worth a try, though?" She wasn't really sure what she could do to help; none of her skills particularly lent themselves to opening things or passing through obstacles, and she wracked her brain for something to do. As she did so, she nearly missed the entrance of the new boil, but only nearly. "Oh, hello."

"S..Sorry I panicked I didn't know what to..." Mitsu tried to explain to Loud but quickly went quiet.
The bookshelf had been slide over the entrance and Mitsu stood rigid against the wall staring at it as terrible noises erupted from the other side. She flinched trying not to let out a loud yelp as the bookshelf rocked in place leaving them a small window of a view into the office as things went quiet.
It seemed like they were in the dark cramped space for a long while before the students began to venture out once again into the office that was now in ruins. "W...where is Arel?" Mitsu had followed to the edge of the entrance not sure she wanted to venture further out into the room.
Now that things were quiet again Mitsu pulled the journal back out of the top of her dress. She held the small object in her hands for a moment before she flipped through the pages of the journal looking for anything of interest. Arel had come in so quickly she hadn't gotten a chance to figure out what this was.

Shun had remained in the tunnel, but he heard what some of the others were saying. They had taken Arel..?
"Kuso... He really must have been talking with a Boogey. In the bathroom, the other had threatened to put him in jail. The bastards," he hissed under his breath. Frowning, he looked towards Mitsu as she started to flip through the pages.
"Do you see anything interesting?" he asked while wandering down the hall to see the trap door on the other side.
With a frown, he tried to listen to what the arguing voices were saying.

"I see...numbers. 45 dash 52 dash16 slash 188." Mitsu mumbled, her eyes suddenly nervous. "Should we....tell one of the other teachers about Arel?"
She had no idea what the numbers meant or if the notebook held anything else of use. The werewolf just managed to glimpse the note that had been left behind, frowning when Shun said that Arel had been talking to a boogeyman. Would the same boogeyman have taken him?

Looking down at her splintered wood, Lumikki's ears fell slightly, the ghoul had a point. But she wasn't sure what else they could use. "...well...it is worth a shot...right?"Blinking a few times as her tails swayed, it wasn't really the right place but that never really stopped her. "By the way I'm Lumikki."She said grinning, yeah there might be something wrong with her, before looking back around the short tunnel wondering what else they could use to help pry open the door.

She felt a little better with the reassuring pats and words of encouragement. Even still the darkness and closeness of the ways made her a bit edgy. Clutching her bottle of cider with both arms now, she watched as the other students started feeling around the walls as floor with a curious look. Sticking her toe out just a bit it tapped against something metal on the floor. A trap door? Perhaps it was a way out . "Does it not have a handle to pull on or something, Lou?" She was unsure if that splintered piece of wood would do any good. And perhaps Lou had missed a handle or something in the dark. From the other side of the wall she could hear muffled, angry voices again.

With a loud rusty groan, the trap door swung open almost of its own volition from simply being approached, revealing a simple corridor below - one that had no lighting to guide the way. There was nothing of interest in the corridor other than that it seemed to taper off into a sort of unnavigable distance.
Mitsu would notice that the entire journal was only filled with numbers:
100 - 12-25-23
101 - 13-22-11
102 - 25-55-03
103 - 43-09-44
104 - 12-19-28
105 - 15-26-22
106- 01-04-35
107 - 68-10-21
108 - 20-40-21
109 - 22-24-11
110 - 39-17-05
111 - 37-23-20
112 - 24-21-02
113 - 35-34-33
114 - 23-12-41
115 - 16-26-21
116 - 53-21-06
117- 58-22-02
118 - 02-27-21
119 - 51-45-22
120 - 23-34-53
121 - 55-33-44
122- 25-05-12
123 - 34-56-15
124- 22-16-01
125 - 13-23-52
The voices now had long disappeared, taking with them also the general direction of where that unknown room could have been,

Jove's ears perked as the door swung open. With his prior embarrassment forgotten, the pup dropped his scarf from his face and trotted down into the newly revealed hallway. He was not deterred by the dark, not with his glowing eyes lighting the way!

"Mort," he greeted the multi-tailed ghoul with a nod, watching with surprise as the trap door opened itself up. So much for prying of phasing. And with the voices now going away, they had no real heading save to get down and see where the dark tunnel led.
Much like Jove, the dark didn't bother him, and the zomboil dropped down by the glowing ghost and motioned him with an adventurous grin to move forward, the thud of his landing punctuated by the sloshing of cider inside the bottle. "Lead the way, sir~" He clenched a hand and began to produce a crackle of electricity within, brief sparks that did little to help the light but certainly showed he was ready to defend the pup if need be.

"Leo, nice to meet you." Lumikki seemed to be fairly happy, despite - or perhaps because of? - their situation. Leo couldn't quite share her enthusiasm. "I don't think there's a handl--" Loudly, the trapdoor swung open, interrupting her in the middle of a sentence. It hadn't been addressed to her, but she'd had a close look at the trapdoor, so she figured she might as well answer Mei. But wow, the revealed corridor was dark. Almost re-thinking her decision to see this through to the end, she smiled happily as the ghost boil went in. Of course, they did have light! "Wait up, please!" They'd be stuck in the darkness there if he went too far. "We'll join you." Grin back on her face and sense of adventure re-established, Leo didn't even notice that she'd gone ahead and volunteered the others without their consent.

Shun's threats would only illicit a shrug from the vampire. "Just because a ghoul is 'taken' doesn't mean she won't be interested." And apparently she was, because she just passed out cold from takin' an eyeful of his six pack. Awwwwwright. He'd take that as a compliment any day. Was he gonna help her now? No, prolly not.
Oh, and then bug boy comes up shouting at him while he's trying to find another way out. "I never claimed to be a ghoul, Mr. Termite." The boil started. "Further more, shouldn't you feel bad for considering a masculine figure effeminate? It was your fault the confusion happened in the first place. Neither my tone nor my figure indicate anything ghoulish." Either way, Lou didn't seem particularly bothered. "But please, continue to lecture me on how I treat women wrong when you apparently don't even know what one looks like." Zing.
Whether Lou could see a glare being shot his way or not, the boil didn't seem to acknowledge. "Oh yeah, and there's the part where you're talking so loud you might get us-" And then s**t started going down.
Lou immediately shut up and stopped what he was doing when a number of sounds began to fill the air.
In fact. He was so taken by the sounds he almost didn't notice when the trap door swung open. Then silence. "... Oh." Well would you look at that. A little corridor. Maybe it lead somewhere special. Like the ghoul's locker room.
"Whelp. I think I'm ready for my daily dose of adventure." And with that, Lou climbed down into the corridor to see where it lead.

Clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth, Mei certainly was not going to be left up here in this dark hallway all by herself. Shuffling over to the trap door she dropped down quickly. Perhaps a bit too quickly as she stumbled a bit to keep from falling on top of someone...or something. She squinted again, following the faint glow from boil. The Jiang Shi shuffled her way over to where Lou was, keeping close but not too close this time. Her small hands still clutching her cidar bottle to her chest. "I wonder where this might lead to."The thrill of mysterious adventure was starting to out weight the nagging red flags going off in the back of her head. Ever one else in dis hole

"It's a mystery!" Leo's enthusiasm was going through the roof, suddenly adventurous where she'd been slightly nervous before. They were a quite large group she reckoned, and anything coming up against them in this hole would surely regret it. "But I'm sure we'll find out soon enough." She said as she continued to follow the dark corridor.

The voices had died down. Frowning, Shun went back for a moment to prop Lizzy against the wall so that people wouldn't step on her. Why the hell had she fainted? It was beyond him. Looking up towards Mitsu, he furrowed his brow as she listed off a few numbers. "Hellma's office is the nearest one right? We could slip a note under her door..."Though, he wanted to know what was going on with the voices on the other side. It looked pretty dark in that tunnel, and it had him a little wary. "Perhaps we should see about this path though.." he murmured before glancing around at a few of the other students in the area, catching a couple names here and there.
