Jove struggled, his poor little puppy mind starting to panic, but it was over almost as quickly as it had begun, and he found himself lying on his back a couple feet away from Ren. He was slower to get up, but he noticed the bright pink marks on both his brother and the other kitsune almost immediately. He sent a cascade of glitter falling from his hair with how abruptly he looked down at his own hands. There were pink kiss marks. Jove's face screwed up into the most horrified, disgusted look possible. He had been kissed. By lots and lots of things. He tried to scrub the marks off with the sleeve of his sweater, but made no headway, and finally glanced towards his brother with a pathetic expression. Although he couldn't see them, there were pink marks on his cheeks, nose, the corner of his mouth, and even his neck hadn't been safe from whatever had been in that pit. Apparently they had liked cute things. Jove could only hope he didn't catch any cooties, or ended up molding away from a FEARinfection.

((Staircase)) Mitsu's ears drooped a bit at Shun's tone. It was understandable that he was upset his tone was just often...intimidating. The situation didn't improve either as the reaper started to move and a random student? visitor? walking up and took hold of his shoulder. Even Mitsu knew this wasn't a good idea. Taking a set closer to Xiu in the meantime the lupine reached for the girl's hand again to have something to hold. Mitsu wasn't exactly sure what might happen but thankfully nothing happened at all. The new canine released Shun's shoulder and the reaper had remained calm...ish. Hearing her name being mention Mitsu fidgeted uncomfortably looking at the visitor as they started walking. "W..where are we going now?" The question was to any of them really, though Mitsu wasn't entirely sure she was excited about getting an answer. They were going only deeper into the maze of pink and cute. Was that the sound of desu up ahead? One couldn't be sure.

(Staircase)"Well, what do we have here?"
Fuaire's lips curled slightly in disgust at the...dazzingly pink and fabulous structure before him. It was just so, so pink. He resisted the urge to gag; the facade seemed to disturb him far more than frighten him. That being said, he hadn't entered just yet. It was soon to change.
The Frez Drah scratched the back of his head as he advanced towards the doorway. His bare, swollen feet thudded against the ground as he took loping, somewhat uneven steps. He wore a simple pair of loose black pants and white button-down shirt. Over both, his patchwork coat flapped open; he hardly went anywhere without it. As he walked, he idly mused on the fact that he didn't know a soul in this entire place.
Not that it matters, though. Nobody of consequence here anyway, I'd bet.
Creaking the house's door open, he could hear the faint yelps and voices of those who had come before him. Admittedly, it unnerved him more than he'd care to share. Instead, Fuaire licked his teeth and set his face into a suitably sour expression. After a quick once over of the disgustingly sweet interior -- was that a picture of a turtle and a raspberry on the wall? -- he noted the presence of several figures arranged on the landing at the top of the stairs. He placed a tentative foot on the bottom step and found it suitably creaky when he applied his weight. As he ascended the flight, he cast suspicious looks on the others already there. They all looked...so strange. What haunted hodgepodge was this? He couldn't even name what most of them were. One seemed too delicate to believe which struck him the most. Though, a thought striking Fuaire has maybe the same effect as hitting someone in the side of the head with a crumpled up wad of paper. He narrowed his eyes at each Halloweentown denizen, trying to place who everyone was. In the end, though, he knew no one; though, the thought didn't trouble him too greatly.
(Fuaire is located here. I'm a bit late so apologies. 8D)

Taking Mitsu's hand again, Xiu gave it a reassuring squeeze followed by a smile. That had been pretty scary just now...but at least their little group was together and safe now, right? If only for now, but the Baku quickly pushed this thought away, emitting a small laugh. This place was set up for the festival! It was set up to seem scary! Nothing in here was real or actually threatening...right?
...
Right?
She certainly hoped so. She stood by with Mitsu, watching silently as Shun and another boil--a prospective student, it seemed?--spoke. She offered him a polite nod and a smile, but couldn't manage much more than that, especially since her friend's question suddenly made her tense up again. They were going to venture even deeper into the haunted house, weren't they? This was only the beginning.
Hopefully she wouldn't pass out halfway through.

((Staircase)) Poke couldn't help but smile at the way mitsu returned to [ Shun's side, seeing her tail wag was especially cute to. Not as bad as what was around them of course. She stood on the sidelines until Xiu Offered her hand to her in a way of greeting. "The names poke. I'm just a visitor here hoping to check out the festival. It great to meet you Xiu" She gently shook the others hand, then watched as shun just walked past her looking pretty annoyed. Well, she couldn't' blame the guy considering it appeared as if he had been molested by balls. She then blinked as another canine boil bumped into shun and then held his shoulders in a panic. She shrugged it off, looking back to the two ghouls whom appeared to be worried about going deeper into the house. "Well, I guess we should just keep going on the path we're on now. And we should be all right if we stay together, not many things would want to attack so many of us at once" Besides, if something did, she would just punch it. Punching always worked, right? She then heard someone approaching from behind, turning around to see a guy with a patchwork cloak glaring at her and everyone else for a reason she couldn't fathom. It was quite annoying though, considering she was already dealing with shun already. "Can I help you?" she asked the newcomer trying not to sound annoyed.

Krovi's tail swished lightly as he watched the Gyrphon until he was spotted. He pulled him up with ease and gave off a light smile. "Tis no problem. You seem to be unharmed, but where is the little kitty?" Asking as his ears drooped lightly as he looked around for the little foxfire. "Jove? Is that the kitty's name?" Asking as curiosity grew as he looked over the other boils wings with envy. Oh how he wished he could have a pair of wings of his own to do as he pleased. "I'm Krovi, a kitsune. What might your name be?" He said as he waited 'til he was done yelling. "Jove could still be in the pit where those creatures were..." He said as he looked down to find the little foxfire. He held out his hand to him to see if he could reach.

Not really wanting to linger in the same area for too long, Shun eyed Cuinn a bit warily before glancing at the girls around. Out of the corner of his dark eyes, he noticed an undead coming up to join them as well. Things were slowly starting to get crowded here.
"Come on. Let's keep moving before something else happens," he grumbled before turning on his heels to continue on, "Standing around isn't going to get us anywhere."
The Reaper paused after taking a few steps to glance behind at the others. It was about then that he noticed that Mitsu's ears had lowered some though he just put it off as her being intimidated by their surroundings (rather than being his fault).

(Staircase)Fuaire stared steadily at Poke now; he didn't seem well-trained in social graces. It was unclear if he was zoning out in her direction or actually focusing on her. His blue eyes were glazed over and cloudy -- it was a wonder that he could even see at all. Now in the company of others, his disgusted face shifted to one of general apathy.
"Got a problem, there?"
Yeah, Fuaire was quite the charmer. He kept his hands shoved in his pockets and maintained a healthy distance from the other boils and ghouls. He gave a quick once over to Shun, regarding him with a sharper glare than the others. Something about him gave him the impression of a bad attitude, but the Frez Drah didn't really reserve the right to think so considering his own poor disposition. There was no blaming it on the environment -- though part of it could be held accountable -- at this point. He was just a sourpuss.
The undead glanced over at Xiu and Mitsu briefly before shifting his weight, shuffling from one bare foot to the other. Regarding the reaper he had glared at earlier, Fuaire spoke up with an arrogant tone.
"I don't really get it, but I think Skull Pin here is right. Not that I care, though."
Even if he wouldn't say, the cheeriness and flowery aroma from those who fell into the ball pit previously (though he didn't know the origin of the perfume as he had missed the stair shenanigans) unsettled him. However, the company of others unnerved him even more.

[StaicaseCuinn picked up on Shun’s reluctance as the Reaper shook his hand. Wordlessly he withdrew it. The cu sith was back to his normal self at this point. His mind conveniently had blacked out most of his time in the ball pit, and he was happy to forget about the rest of it for now. He nodded in response to the other boy’s answers and turned his gaze to the ghouls present. Oh great. This was the type of situation Cuinn hated the most. Here he was a visitor, an outsider, and a loner surrounded by a bunch of students who all pretty much knew each other and had no reason to take interest in him. He was intruding. Even worse, he had just done something humiliating. They probably did not want him around any more than he wanted to stick around and feel awkward, especially that Shun character. He should probably duck out of their little group now with grace. If he wanted to explore this Haunted House, he would have better luck doing so with a fellow newbie. Maybe Rykier? He hadn’t seen the familiar hippogriff since the stairs collapsed. The cu sith was juuuust about to excuse himself and run away when he spotted one of those embarrassing kiss marks on his arm. That horrible stain… it wouldn’t rub off. Once again it reminded him of a scar. Scar, scar, scar… scare? All at once, a revelation struck him. This “Haunted House” attraction was supposed to be scary. The stuffed animals, the pink, the glitter, the perfume… all of it was specifically designed to creep people out. He huffed. There wasn’t a ghost living here are all, was there? The dog was very miffed. He had been deceived! This house was not haunted. They should have called this attraction a “Horror House” or a “Cute House” or a “Creepy House”, but not a “Haunted House”! Then he might have understood what he was getting into when he set foot inside. Somewhat indignant, Cuinn decided that he would not let himself be made a fool of again. Now that he understood this house’s evil nature, he was determined to conquer it, even if it meant attempting to get along with strangers! ”I am,” he finally replied to Shun. ”Nice to meet you, Shun,” he nodded towards the females. ”And you as well, Mistu.” He eyed the two who had not spoken to him and flashed a smile that was juuuuust the right balance of shy and friendly. ”You ladies are Xiu and Poke, yes?” The dog had overheard parts of their introductions to each other. ”I know I’m new here, but do you mind if I tag along with you guys? I came to this place alone, but… Maybe if I stick with some others I won’t get dragged to the bottom of a pit again,” he laughed weakly. The canine even wagged his tail slowly. He could play this game if he wanted to. Oh yes he could.

Damien enjoyed ruffling the Were tigers fur, even good naturedly. He wasn't trying to piss him off, just playful boil jostling. Sure he'd admit that he still was mostly covered in glitter and if they put a lamp next to him and asked him to spin around, he'd light up like a disco ball. But in contrast, there were a lot of others that would be worse.
"I glow in the dark anyways faint, the better to see you with my fear." he said eerily at him, quoting one of the old scareling stories he used to hear often, little black frightening hood.
the talk of tattoo's caught up to his ear with quirked over and his body moved afterwards and pointed at his green glowing markings on his face.
"Tattoos are cool yo." he said with a simple conviction that is was the only truth in his mind. it was the first thing he did on his own choice that wasn't mandated by the clan and he knew that it wasn't going to stop there.
Both the tattoo's or his independent choices.
He yelped as the other boil known as Merope grabbed his wristband,
rudely if he might add.
to prove the point that fur was indeed AWESOME.
"Yeah, fur is sexy and a multipurpose tool, wha cha' getting at bub?" he asked curiously. He hoped they weren't going to try to spontaneously grow fur, it just didn't work that way.
Maybe, but the idea of furry tentacles just seemed...
Wrong. very very wrong, to the hellhound.
The grand conclusion that Merope was getting to was suddenly cut off by a giant yellow bear giving him a crushing hug.
Must have heard the talk about fur, he figured. Demi let out a bit of laughter at first, thinking it just wanted to help them all get rid of the sparkles. cept it was just adding more to them.
Oh no, he was not going to have that.
As the bear continued its rather extreme hug, demi went after its feet as the mindflayer took to its arms, trying to gnaw on the giant atrocious thing and drag it off to be torn to pieces.
"Hey let him go ya giant walking shag carpet!" he barked out before nipping at its ankles again. "Lets hope it don't have glitter in it too Mindflayer!"

"Nice to meet you too, Poke." She murmured in response, smiling. Considering the other ghoul's words carefully, Xiu sighed, though the hint of anxiety still remained on her face. "Y-yes, so long as we stick together, right?" Who was in this group now, anyways? Mitsu, Shun, Poke, Cuinn, and--
Jumping, she jerked her head around when Poke suddenly addressed a newcomer, shrinking slightly at their exchange. Well, he seemed...friendly, didn't he? She eyed Fuarie warily, wondering if she should address him--just to be polite, at the very least--or remain quite. Maybe it was best if she left it to Poke? Xiu turned to look at Mitsu for a moment, before turning back to the undead boil, taking a deep breath, and smiling meekly.
"H-hello," She greeted, raising her hand to offer a little wave. However, before she could say much else, she was addressed by Cuinn and--after a moment that was spent wondering how he had known her name--Xiu turned to incline her head to him. "Y-yes, I...I'm Xiu. Um...I'm glad to make your acquaintance."
Goodness, there was certainly a lot of people here now, wasn't there? Looking a little uncomfortable, she slid closer to Mitsu, her grip on her friend's hand tightening slightly. "...Are we all going together then?" She asked, directing the question at everyone but specifically looking up at Shun.

((Stairs)) The glare from the undead boy did not get past Shun and it quickly warranted a sharp glance in return. He didn't know what caused the glare but at the same time he really didn't give a damn. His eyes only narrowed further as he was apparently called 'skull pin'. What the hell was that even supposed to mean? He wasn't the only enrolled student in this group so it might not have been referring to that fact. "The name's Shun, Blue boy," he hissed, not so much in the mood for this sort of thing. The fruity scent was burning his nose and it was really grating at his nerves. Regarding Cuinn's question, he merely shrugged. "Just don't grab me again," he murmured. As long as the Cu Sith wasn't being too noisy or touchy feely he could care less if he was tagging along or not. Glancing at Xiu once more, he just nodded and started to walk off again.

"..." Faint didn't really have a comeback for that, except for a murmured, "Touche, pup." If the dog glowed, he glowed. Now he just glowed with a dazzling dash of glitter.
As the undead boil's plan unraveled, the weretiger's tail subconsciously wound it's way around his waist in fear. Nomoreglitternomoreglitter. He would not become the victim of a cleaning spree! No matter how furry his tail may be. Luckily, the boil hadn't seem to come to that conclusion yet.
Better yet, he was stopped all-together from reaching that conclusion by a giant yellow teddy bear. Good Jack it was ugly... Joining in the effort to save the boil, however, Faint leaped on it's back, digging his thick, sharp nails into it's fluff. If he could just tear it a little...

Being unfamiliar with the Undead boil and his lack of social graces, poke wasn't sure what to make of his unfocused gaze. Was he ignoring her, or was he just trying to be a a**? His question though made her think the latter, and she wasn't impressed. This continued when he began to act like a arrogant jerk around everyone else. It was grating on her nerves "Yeah, I'd like to know what your problem is" she remarked to him before turning to Cuinn whom had started talking to her. "Ah, yeah, thats my name. Nice to meet you too." As for his request, she glanced back to the other three then scratched the back of her head. He was asking permission? Well, it wasn't like she could say ya or nay since she was pretty much the same as him, just tagging along because she felt like it. She didn't know anyone else, and Shun, mitsu and Xiu were probably the only people she 'knew' or she was starting to. As shun began to walk off, she followed him keeping a eye on Xiu and mitsu Whom were starting to look a little afraid again. Poke wasn't to sure about what was making them scared, as she had no problem with being in a large group. Although this 'blue boy' could possible be a bit of a pain.
