Her brows knit together in concern as Lacie draped herself over one of the beds, but her expression became a little puzzled as she turned to glance towards the statues. "I don't know why they're speaking." She eyed the two statues with a small frown, and then glanced towards Amrita as she spoke. "Picking one of the doo--ah, don't apologize! I'm sure we can figure out what to do after!"
That was, after some rest. Catching the look that the undead ghoul gave her, Xiu smiled a little sheepishly and head over towards one of the beds. Yes, she could agree with getting some rest. Now that the experience with the hunters was done and over with, she could feel her adrenaline fade, replaced by exhaustion. Sitting down on her chosen bed, the baku paused so that she could stare up at the larger bed.
"So there's a ghoul sleeping up there, hmm?" Would there be a reason for her to try diving into that ghoul's dream, she wondered? Would they learn anything special by doing so? ...Well, perhaps that decision could wait until later. Laying down, she curled up and closed her eyes.

Raziel walked in slowly. He held the turkey in his hands, ready to fwap it across someone's face if necessary. Breathing a small sigh of relief, Raziel was glad to see all of his teammates in the room already. With his eyes half closed he ignored everything that was in the room and going on to take his place on one of the open beds. His teammates were all napping, it would be rude of him to wake them up, so he might as well join them!
Completely forgetting about his destroyed clothes, Raziel layer his head down on the soft pillow and pulled the blanket up to his chin. It was so comfy and warm he was asleep in seconds.
He would probably be forced to put on one of those dresses he hadn't seen when he woke up.

Xiu awakened not long after, sitting up as she drowsily blinked at her surroundings. How strange, this didn't look like her room--aah, right. Perking up slightly, she turned to glance at the other beds, noting with relief that Raziel had joined them. She had been getting a little worried, but it was a relief to see that everyone was together! Since the others were still sleeping, the baku slid out of her bed as quietly as possible, deciding to take some time to explore the room.
...Well, by explore the room, she meant that she wanted to climb up to the large bed and see if there really was someone sleeping up there. Whether there would be any point to try dream diving was debateable, but Professor Red had said that these rooms would cater to everyones' strengths and weaknesses. The least she could do was give it a go, right? Of course, she would have to wait until at least one of the others woke up to give her a hand.
Casting another glance towards her sleeping teammates, Xiu snuck closer to the large bed, taking hold of the locks of hair and trying to make her way up. It was no easy task--Xiu never claimed to have good upper-body strength--but she managed to make her way up very slowly. Phew, that was a pretty long way to climb! It's pretty high up here, She mused, peering down at the others.
...Hopefully there would be no reason for her to have to jump off from this height.
Shaking the thought away, Xiu slowly turned around. Let's see what this sleeping person looked like.

"A ghoul .. How terribly boring. I was hoping it'd be rather interesting here." The heir of death was behind the baku demon on the ladder, one hand hooked to the hair that held them both up, swinging easily on the makeshift rope. It appeared that she lacked Xiu's lack of body strength, her torn red dress and long flowing black hair intertwined with purple phoenix feathers standing out in the midst of colorful ball gowns. Her legs hung limp, red skirts billowing protectively around her legs, body deceptively relaxed.
She stared idly at the owls and book shelves .. Her eyes slanted in what could easily be interpreted as something along the lines of boredom. But there was something that made her stay or she simply hadn't found herself bored enough to jump into the next room.
Perhaps it was simply the wardrobe that kept her here. And her intensive desire to see the group dressed up within them. The haunted house certainly had humiliatingly genius ideas for such a surprising place.

exclaim ((I'M LOOKING AT YOU, YES YOU.))As Xiu turns, she notices something extremely, extremely odd. The ghost on the bed looks exactly like her.. but something is a little off, though she can't explain it. It's sort of like looking at a hologram of yourself.
Should Xiu (or anyone, really) attempt to prod the ghost, though, she'll find that the ghost is, in fact, real, and not a hologram of some sort. But why does she look like Xiu...?
The sleeping ghost tosses and turns, clearly unable to sleep well...

Oh. The ghost looked like her.
...
Okay.
...
Jack, that wasn't creepy at all. Gaping at the figure, Xiu instictively moved back, trying to gain some distance while keeping her doppleganger in view. What was going on here?
Before she could spend too much time musing over this, a vaguely familiar voice suddenly met her ears. Glancing down, the baku's tail bristled in alarm as she realized that Team Mafia wasn't the only one here. "...! Who are you--...?" Her question trailed off as she stared at the ghoul with furrowed brows, confusion evident in her eyes. At first, she thought that this ghoul was another hunter, but now that she took a closer look at her...
"...You're the one who was in Cricket's Sex Ed class!" The one who blew up some pumpkins, more precisely. The memory cause Xiu to shudder, but there her tense shoulders had begun to relax. That meant that she was a Halloweener--an ally--right?
"What are you doing here?" The sleeping ghoul was, for the moment, pushed to the back of Xiu's mind as she focused on the Horsewomen instead.

Lacie woke up to Xiu's voice rather groggily. She felt marginally better, although it was still a sorry state. Her dress and bed had been stained with blood, several people faring a bit better or a great deal worse. Looking around, she saw Remi, Amrita, and Raz sleeping in their beds. Amrita certainly was pretty in her new dress. Although Lacie would later question why they were torn. Putting that fact aside, she soon became aware of another presence that was not her teammates.
....... THE TURKEY HAD FOLLOWED THEM. O_O
.. and then there was that pretty lady near Xiu.
And the turkey.
"Who are you?" She rubbed her eyes as a person who just woke up and was still not yet awake. Perhaps she was imagining the turkey and the feathered girl. Or not. Which led the reaper to the conclusion --> "A-are you another turkey?" After all, she had feathers. And in Lacie's mind, feather equaled a turkey. In that case, Lacie was finding the turkeys to be a bit disturbing, and rightfully so in her head. She tilted her head to look at the 'heir of death' swinging around on the hairpiece like one would on the monkey bars on the playground.
The fact that Xiu was not wary of her, unlike the hunters, was reason enough for Lacie to stand and look up at them.
"Xiu and M-miss." Turkey? Lacie, unsure of her name asked, "Is being up there fun?" She questioned the two of them, wondering if perhaps .. she was missing out on something that she shouldn't be? From her unsure tone, she wasn't exactly sure where she could venture.

It was difficult to say exactly how long they had been there. "They" being two statues made out of copper, standing on raised pedestals set between two doors. The statues had the bodies of dogs and the heads of lions; they were Fu Dogs. Each one wore a different collar decorated with skulls; one had a collar that was red, the other a sky blue. Each Fu Dog had one paw raised, resting on a sphere. Or is it a skull? It is difficult to tell. They move, their paws tightening around their treasures as you approach. "Well met," they greet in unison. "Your trials are almost over, Students of Amityville. What you have gone through is a sample, a mere taste of what is expected of some on a daily basis. But you are not here for that." They fall silent, looking down and studying each student carefully. The one with the light blue collar speaks first. "Your last trial awaits you. It will not be easy." "You will get to choose," the red collared one says, "This is a choice for each of you to make." "Not as a group." "Not together." "But individually," the two say in unison gravely. "You may only go through one door. Once you have made your choice and gone through it, you cannot back out." "The doors are locked for now," the one with the red collar says. "They will unlock when the time is right." "For now, consider your options," the sky blue collared one says. "You may change your mind before entering, but once you go through a door you cannot return." The statues fall silent as they exchange a glance with each other. "To determine which door you pick, please tell us... Would you rather help someone out, or help yourself?
Help someone else out.
Help myself out.

"Oh, Lacie, you're awak--" Xiu gave a start at the new pair of voices--had those statues always been there?--but she immediately perked up as she heard them refer to them as Amityville students. Was this a part of the test? So it seemed, and it was the last part to boot. The last trial.
Though she didn't want to awaken Amrita, Remi, or Raziel (and perhaps not the mysterious sleeping ghoul either), this sounded like something extremely important. Pulling herself up onto the large bed, she perched at the edge and cupped her hands together around her mouth.
"Amrita, Remi, Raziel! I think there's some important information we all need to listen to! ...s-sorry, guys."
Dropping her hands onto her lap, she peered down at the statues and listened intently, her brows furrowing in concentration. Depending on their choices then, Team Mafia may or may not be split up...but the statues had emphasized that they were to make their individual decisions. The moment the options were given, Xiu blurted one out without really thinking about it.
"I'd rather help someone else out"
Of course she wanted to protect herself as well. Of course. She had wanted so very desperately to get away when those Hunters invaded their room, but at the same time, she had chosen to remain behind. Her thoughts were the same as before: while she wanted nothing more than to flee, she never would have forgiven herself for leaving anyone behind.

Amrita had been out cold the moment she hit the bed. It wasn't that she was tired, it was that she was completely and utterly drained...so technically yeah, it was because she was tired. Somewhat. Her FEAR on its own was only just enough to keep her body together, and once all of the training's events from the stress of FIRE to the brutal attacks on her person, well, her entire being went into lockdown mode. She didn't move during all the talking or during the arrival of the horsewoman, not even a sleep-like flutter of her eyes; no breathing rise and fall of her chest (wait why would it do that she's undead anyway well whatever it still didn't happen). Nothing.
The intermission was enough for her to get her FEAR levels to something more stable, and the Vetala started to come to on her own. Sadly, her body had already started the process of rigor mortis, so when she awoke, she awoke stiff and still in a great deal of pain. Luckily though, she woke up just in time to hear Xiu call her name, and then to hear the statues - where the jack did they come from?! - speak. She stayed laying on her bed, her head turned to look at the statues.
"I will help someone else out" She said almost immediately, almost in unison with Xiu. Hah, she should have known; the ghoul was stubborn, even in certain danger! Giving a strained laugh, she started to sit up, easing her muscles back into working no matter how they strained and no matter how her bones cracked from rigor and stress. She still hurt. She still hurt a lot...but it was a little better than when she laid down.
As it became easier to move she strode over towards the Baku, still in the dress that Remi had so nicely torn for her and still covered in open wounds and dried/congealed blood. "No matter what happens, right Xiu?" She smiled with what was left of her lips.
Sorry, Roch.
....
Her only remaining eye turned back to the beds, spotting one Demon in particular. He...slept through that whole thing?! Seriously? This only seemed super important! "Um. Excuse me..." She murmured to Xiu, walking over to the beds to stand beside the one with the sleeping Kitsune on it. The Undead stared for a moment.
"Remi."
No answer.
"Remi?"
Nothing.
Leaning over, she braced herself on the bed with one hand, reaching out with the other to shake his shoulder. "Remi!"

Name being called? NOPE. No response. Just a very faint snoring, his chest heaving up and down softly as he stayed in his slumberland. Even the talking pair of Fu Dogs was not enough to wake him.
Rolling over once, his arm hung off the side of his bed, trio of tails swaying back and forth lightly. You would think that meant he was waking up....
Grumbling, the boil batted at Amrita with a hand, and rather childishly, rolled over again and took the covers over his head to face the other way.

...Did he just ignore her?!
Amrita frowned. Normally she wouldn't have bothered trying to wake him, but right now? Waking up was kind of important. Her wounded arms folded across her stomach as he turned his back to her and hid under the blankets. She wasn't sure what to do, but she knew she did have to wake him up...so it required some tough love, right?
Biting on what remained of her lip, Amrita leaned forward to put one knee on the bed just behind Remi, placing both backwards hands on his shoulder and back...
And Promptly shoved him off the bed.

"JACK DAMNIT" He followed the words with a yelp that was more canine than human as he tumbled from the bed on to the ground. The floor, WHICH WAS COLD BTW, underneath him now... he paused for a moment, silencing himself... sort of like a predator awakened and looking for danger. The fur on his three tails was puffed up, which they always did when he was frightened...
Then his lazyness kicked in, and he let out a loud groan in effort as he sat up. Head just taller than the bed the kitsune was just sleeping in, he turned his gaze towards the ghoul. Ears pinned backwards, he was scowling. Remi was such a grumpy s**t after sleeping. "Whythehellyoudothat!!?!??"
Mumbling, his male pride dictated that he HAD to tack this last part on, "Usually ghouls want me to REMAIN in bed." Not shove them out, he added mentally.

Just so Remi couldn't get back on the bed, Amrita flopped onto it after she shoved him off, laying on her stomach and folding her hands under her chin to look at him over the edge. Did she feel bad for shoving him off? Yes she did. Was she going to apologize? Probably. Was there any chance of him getting back on until he made his decision? None.
"Because we have a question to answer!" She informed him, staring down at him with her single eye. Her hands unfolded just long enough to gesture to the now silent statues. That last part made her look at him oddly, and she just stared in confusion for a moment. "Well...after you answer it, you're more than welcome to get back on it?" Her words were completely serious as she lay on her stomach in a revealing and torn ball gown.
"You need to tell them if you'd help someone else out, or help yourself out." She explained to him, turning her eye to look at the statues, and then back to Remi. "Your answer...it's your choice to make on your own, er...we can't make it as a group, I guess." Her hands dropped, fidgeting her patched and cut fingers together. It would ultimately be up to him to get more details out of her, but that was all she was going to give him right now.
