He hadn’t heard him, he didn’t even realize he was there until Matt turned around the buzzing growing louder in his ears as he felt something heavy thud against his back as a few others brush past his coat.
“Kyle?” He gave him a puzzled look at the expression on his face and then to the thing he was holding in his hand as it wiggled to get away. That was when something smacked into his own it’s limbs getting entangled into his fingers as pain shot up his arm as it stung, or bit, or whatever the rat size insect was doing. There was a hiss under his breath as he threw it free from his hand ignoring if it was dead or not as screams of others hunters started to fill the air in confusion. s**t… Of course there was something lurking, he thought summoning Kasi to his hand trying to bat a few more out of the air.
“Kyle you ok?”

[ PRISON ROOM ] - Ace (Helping prisoner 9)
The shackles couldn't withstand the force, and before he approached the sleeping beauty, Kimberly went to prod the girl in the next cell. The word to tell her stay away was interrupted by loud banging sounds. Like wild beasts awoke from hunger, all ten of the prisoners roared and screamed, including the one in front of him.
She seized his long braid for attention and then sank her not-sharp teeth into his arm. "Ah, I'm not juicy meat, you know smart girl." He sighed and told others to check the rest of the decaplets. "I'll handle this one." The yelp from Kimberly made him frowned but the crazy girl didn't let go of his arm. "Sorry friend, rather occupied to help you at the moment." He watched with a smile as the little beast's mouth persistently dug into the fabric covering his firm muscles. "It's not that tasty, right?"
"Jason, any good idea? The damn cage door's infrangible. We need the key." Ace shouted since his hair was in hostage and upon spotted October, he waved. "Oh great, another helper." Then used his free hand to point at the untouched cells, "Do something and see if you can spot something like a key." before resumed the laid-back petting motion of the girl's head.
His demeanour suggested he was soothing a pet when she was literally a human teenager."Chill out lady, we'll get you out here." He said gently, not really minded the pain she granted him while searching his surrounding for the cage's key.

Prisoner 10: Since it's a bit confusing, gonna have Ace deal with another girl
Maybe it was Liam's hug, or the realization that Mimsy was standing up for herself to a man on her own, but Caroline found a pleasant surprise in being pretty content in spite of the grotesque imagery surrounding her. Her eyelids drooped until they closed, and she smiled as she hugged Liam a little closer--then felt him pull away, a flash of darkness where he should have been.
That wasn't Liam.
With a sharp scream, she tried to push it away from her. It must have anticipated her actions, because it seemed to move away by itself, as if to mock her for the futility of anything she could do. Panicked, she turned to Mimsy - which was an embarrassingly idiotic mistake, she remembered too late - and unsurprisingly found a shadow creature in her place. Not the same creature that she occasionally saw when she looked at her, but at the moment the distinction didn't matter; her children were monsters, and the paranoia she'd been working so hard to smother began a deluge of 'told you so'.
"Stay away from--go away," she snapped, dizzy with drowsiness and disorientation, lowering herself to the floor without any fight. She tried to cover her head, and ended up pathetically curled between displaced jars and body parts. "God why--go away, go away--"
It had been a long, long time since she felt just like this, caught somewhere between the warring emotions of comfort and terror. There had been plenty of times that she had been terrified since the day that she finally left that house, and most of them had been over things that weren't even real to anyone else. But with true freedom came the ability to mediate and fluctuate between the two, letting comfort take the place of her fear. It wasn't like the years and years of comfort only coming in the form of exhaustion when she cried herself to sleep - or it hadn't been, not until now. She hated it.
She kept her eyes squeezed tightly shut, hands pressed so forcefully over her ears that the headset almost hurt, and tried to hum along with the tinny music to distract herself between her frightened sobs.
Already it was difficult trying to find each other and their way around the claustrophobic darkness that was the tunnels, but battling a swarm of locusts that were as huge as rats? That was tantamount to asking for the impossible. But Kyle still had to try his best nonetheless, even as the screams of his fellow hunters that echoed throughout the tunnels were jarring to his senses and the majority of his punches were met with nothing but thin air.
"I think so... What are these things? There's no end to them."
As if on cue the women in the cells lashed out, launching themselves at the cage doors as if a sudden madness had taken hold. One of them started to scream, and sadly Jason was caught of guard, shrieking at the sudden noise before the screaming lady grabbed hold of his ponytail.
"Ow ow OW!" At least he wasn't shrieking anymore, but now he had someone tugging on his hair while Ace asked what to do. "I-ideas?!- Ugh! one sec-"
'How about some advice for once instead of your commentary!' He could almost see the fallen angle shrugging. < I can't tell if they're legitimate or not. Obviously it could be a trap to keep you distracted, or a spell of some sort. Or something else entirely, they do love to screw us over in so many ways. Ultimately you'll need to make a choice; save these people, or try to find the others.>
He cursed under his breath. He didn't want to make any choices, yet he felt they were running out of time. Again he felt the woman pull him towards the cell doors, so he turned around and reached through the bar doors, grasping at her wrists.
"Please, you have to calm down!" He pleaded with her, desperate eyes bearing into hers. "Hurting us wont help you get out any faster. You have to tell us if there is a key around, or something else that can free you. We want to help you but we can't do anything if you don't help us in return. Please, please calm down for everyones sake!"

[ THE DISSECTION ROOM ]
Finally, and much too late to do anything useful about it, Mimsy's mind made the correct connection between Sherry's utterance of 'moths' and the unreasonable lethargy that had begun to overtake her. She struggled once again to prevent a yawn, suspecting that the act of inhaling more of their toxins so rapidly would only make it worse. Though she managed to avoid the additional lungful of air, she failed to keep her eyes open.
When the room returned to focus with relative clarity again, she discovered that she was no longer surrounded by her family and fellow Hunters, but by a comparable number of Horsemen instead. She was fortunate to generally feel more at home with the appearances and proximity of FEAR-based entities than humans, at least, and simply hugged her arms around the hand-jar, not frightened at their existence. Not frightened, but thoughtfully curious.
She remained almost entirely still nonetheless.
"They would not have abandoned me," she murmured with a confident suspicion, sluggishly blinking at the shapes of the creatures around her. "This is illogical. The conclusion is false."
More perplexing than the sudden disappearance of her family was her awareness of how fine this illogical set of conditions felt to her. Though she was not fond of participating in the practice of identifying impossible things, feeling so content with something so illogical was almost as close to 'impossible' as she could fathom.
Just tagging the room!

The Dissection Room - Kai (Dice roll to see who he attacks)
Kai was having a hard time trying to find a place in the room to look that didn't make him want to make a cross about his chest and was taking breathes through his hand to keep the smell away - which it didn't. Regretting his big breakfast, he moved slowly with the morbid draw of someone seeing something unreal and yet also not wanting to see it.
He didn't know when or how it happened, but one moment he was with strangers but hunters and next everyone had turned into black shadows. Since being on the island, he almost forgot about the Creepers - the shadow beings he called in real life before the island. It had been a nice break not to pass them on the street, but being in the room now with them sent a instant grip on his senses that said he either needed to run or fight.
As he s**t back past a table, jars jostled and glorped full of murky ooze before he saw one crouch low to jump him.
The creature was dark and tall, bent low amounts the pieces of dead people that bobbed in their jars and looked back at him. Typically he wouldn't ******** around with 'em, but he had little choice when he was in a gang of them.
With all the force he could give, he threw a punch down. "You ain't takin me!"
Tunnel It didn’t take but a few good swift hits to the locusts for them to begin avoiding the older hunter, they started to keep their distance from him as he tried to look at the few bites he had received making sure that nothing more life threatening appeared from them before trying to help the younger hunter fend them off.
“Not entirely sure, something likely cooked up from the depths of the horsemen there are a few of them who seem to enjoy insects, could even be some new rat breed just living in the middle of the desert but doubtful that the manage to just grow this size on their own.”
HP: 48 DMG: 2 CHG: 2/3 Total DMG to Swarm: 14 - avoiding him
He did not want Tempest to be here anymore than he wanted to be here. Gale opened his mouth to say something - he wasn't entirely sure what, at this point - but they did not have the time, and this was not the place. Not when there were things beginning to ooze towards them, not when there were things multiplying with each shot of a gun and each swing of a sword.
Tempest's sword. Gale caught his sister's eye, and the deliberately pointed look she was giving him.
"Keep fighting," he muttered. "Overwhelm them."
The rifle appeared in his hands within a second, a glowing white and then gold and then it was a familiar, cold weight in his grasp. Gale hoisted it up, resting his cheek against the icy barrel, squinting through the telescopic lens with his good eye as he picked out his mark.
One more came upon the heels of the first two, although his second had been marginally better than the first. Gale's head was starting to swim, his vision blurring, the scenery around him distorting unpleasantly.
Melvin stepped in beside Gale and fired alongside him. The place felt more and more connected, the dripping of leeches melting bloody red in his visions like pus-thick wounds.
Each shot caused a sickening pop of pale-flesh bodies. "Lets get to the door."
Well that was a fine gift. Trying to be nice to someone only to have the suddenly attack. Kimberly figured it actually served her right though, who the heck would like to be poked at with the blunt end of a whip...
Annd... that was when the girl started biting at her and clawing. Kim's eyes went wide and she glanced around. "Holy crap they are nuts.." She looked over at Ace and winced for him, his hair was being pulled, that was just low fighting anyone with long hair knew that.
"Yup, see you got your arm filled.... with teeth." She sighed and tried to pin the girl on the ground while doing her best to avoid any potential damage, with her free hand she started pushing around in the dirt on the ground in the hope there was a key to the room. Ugh this was annoying.
"Look girl, in your position I would be pissed off too, but let's face it, killing the ones that have come to save you is a stupid idea, calm the F*** down.." Nope, that wasn't working, big surprise. She looked up and noticed that some of the others were trying to crack their heads open on the walls. "Holy... If anyone is free, they may want to stop the other prisoners from killing themselves. If by chance only one of these is a REAL person we don't want them dead."
She grunted as the one she had pinned finally managed to get in a good scratch, running nails down her cheek. "OWWW.... That was rude!"
It frankly didn't matter who you were, if you struck Lawrence on the face, his patience ran right out. He didn't want to pick a fight with the horsemen, but if they were going to pick a fight with him, he would absolutely retaliate.
There was a flash of blazing white runes as he summoned his claws, narrowing his eyes as he picked himself up from the floor where he'd stumbled when struck.
