She wanted to sit with Lizzy really, really badly. To hold her hand and to just be close to her to soak up some comfort from the other ghoul but this was the best that all of them could do while everyone scurried to attend to the matter of the 'intrusion'.
Lattice hoped the Hunters failed.
After everything they had done to everyone she wished nothing but ill on the Hunters.
"I believe in them too..." She murmured brokenly as her hand reached out but stopped short of touching the bars. Lattice learned by now that touching them was bad. "We'll be okay...?"
The last part came out as a question rather than a statement of confidence and absolute certainty.

Glen was much less optimistic, even as the sounds of battle began to rage outside. He was born one of life's pessimists, and even though his captors seemed very naturally flawed, as flawed as anyone, he'd begun to believe they were powerful. It was easy to feel small and weak in comparision to the guy outside the cage.
He moved to lay on his side rather than sitting up, the ear not against the floor perked, listening to the sounds drifting in from out there. He didn't dare to hope the conflict might swing in their favour.
"Knowin' mah luck, the other guys oot there will jist want tae kill me tae."

Now was not the time to be sitting back like a helpless damsel in distress, but that was really all that Lois could do. Still, there were the newer arrivals, and now she could speak to them somewhat freely with the chaos that their tormentors had left them for.
The frog monster turned until she was facing the girls and moved as close to the bars as she dared before speaking up. "So, do any of you happen to have anything with you that might disrupt the electric bars?" It was a long shot, but when all you were doing was waiting to be turned into a weapon or killed, long shots seemed worth it.
Leonard suddenly his world turning upside down...and then a chance at freedom! He left the little box of horrors and flew angrily toward the tent's opening. His entire life he had just wanted to stop pain, but now? Now he just wanted to headbutt the first thing that he saw, and if that one-armed freak crossed his path maybe he'd finish what he'd started earlier

Lizzy felt the same way about lattice, but with more hugs; the rationale part of her - yes, Lizzy does possess rationality - knew that sticking her hand towards the ghoul would just cause her to be hurt. Inhaling sharply, she forced herself to smile and sit up straight to portray a look of confidence.
"We will," She nodded; sure, she was partially convincing herself, but nobody needed to know that!
Turning to face the one with the odd accent - she had trouble trying to understand him and had to take her time to process the words - she shook her head, "Call it intuition if you will, but I'm pretty sure that those outside the tent are our allies, so we best put our faith in them!" Unlike the boil, she was born an optimist, "My name is Lizzy, by the way! I wish we could have met under more favorable circumstances, but... " She trailed off, looking sheepish before turning to the other stranger - a monster?
"If we couldn't disrupt the cage with our natural abilities-" And she had seen Vieve try, before one of their captors did something to lock down their abilities, "I doubt anything else would work..." She frowned, looking away for a bit.

Ariane hardly got the time to reply before Caelius ordered for everyone to take up arms... And who was she to disobey? Besides, she had a feeling that they were about to meet the superiors of those young ones they had captured; taking one last look at the creatures in the cages, she yanked Kintama off her neck and made her way out.

For a while, the frost demon had been restraining herself from revealing the emotional roller coaster ride that was racing within her. No, she wasn't about to let those Hunters have her dignity. Edel had to admit though, that it had taken a toll on her emotional well-being, to be feeling simultaneous surges of guilt, apprehension, indigence and resignation. Part of her wanted the hunters to just get it over and done with, the other half hoped that they would take a long time to deliberate the next victim.
Diece's unfortunate passing had at least brought up the fact that not every Halloweener was compatible. Edel was morbidly glad that there was at least the option of being dead – rather than becoming a tool for those hunters to use against them. Huh, it seemed that the frost demon had quite a lot of pride.
It was an unexpected reprieve, when the chaos came from outside the tent. The flashes of blue and hunters flying about – someone on their side perhaps? A double relief now that the hunters were gone – for now. There was a little skepticism in Edel that she simply could not help but to feel.
Lizzy had theorized that their schoolmates were here – were they? Edel got up and approached the bars of her cage, being careful not to touch them. From those instances the hunters opened the flap to leave and join the fray, the frost demon could see quite a number of people outside, Halloweeners and Hunters alike. She was right! Flashes of a few familiar costumes here and there – those were students alright.
Rather than rejoice the possibility that they might just be saved, worry crept over the frost demon. What if.... She certainly would hate to see any more of them taken.
Edel wasn't about to crush the optimism Lizzy had – she too would have to believe in them now. Furthermore, for Lattice who had been so terribly broken and tormented, this glimmer of hope was for the better.
Was there something they could do though? Well, escaping would be impossible, now that their natural abilities were on lockdown. But now that the hunters were gone, now would be the time to get a clear view of the tent, what was around them....information that could come in handy should they ever get a chance to escape. The control room with all those weird gadgets would the place to start.
“Lizzy,” she finally spoke with a low voice, “try to look around for some clues that might help us get out. For our schoolmates, or whoever, should they come bursting in” Edel turned around to face Vieve, silently motioning for her to do the same. She wasn't about to let herself just sit pretty, not now. Never again.
Who said she wasn't being optimistic?

[ENTERING JUDE FROM HUNTER GROUP THREAD]
It was an odd sensation to one moment to be standing and then the next moment to be falling, falling, and finally hitting nice firm ground face first. Jude let out a muffled outcry of displeasure before he righted himself again and rubbing his face vigorously, a bit of blood slid out of his nose but he ignored it by rubbing the arm of his sleeve against it and a small sniffle.
He wasn't going to show weakness to anyone that was here - wait where were they?
He gazed around. Huh. Okay. Cages with creatures in them as well as other things. Alright he could deal with that he was on home turf so to speak.
"I guess...we wait...?" Jude asked out loud.

(( Leon enters from H Team 3 thread))
Portals, Leon could never understand why people enjoyed that game, real portals was not as fun as that software claimed it was. Leon let out a sharp grunt as he was thrown out of the luminescent hole in the fabric of space with force, his massive arms was at least able to soften the fall. After a minute of stretching to see if all his limbs were still working and that they were in the proper place, the brunette boxer got up and took a look at his new surroundings.
"Well isn't this peachy, we're at the zoo." he drawled out, taking a casual walk near the cages, but still a foot away, he was always warned at a kid never to get too close and the sage advice still held its ground to this very day. It was difficult not to notice that a small amount of the cages were unoccupied. The others may have had some.... THING in there, but it had seem like those creatures had better days-nights, whatever.
Green eyes widened in surprise at one of the familiar faces stuck behind its iron bars as he idled in front of its cage, the one that offered him a pet like creature when he went by the alias of Leoward. "My my, so what brings you here, little spider said the fly?" he grunted out mockingly before turning over to the Cowled wonder that finally pulled himself from his make out session with the floor. "I guess we do little guy, best not to leave the pets unattended for too long." he said back, jerking his thumb over to a nearby cage that was filled.

Tikas team mates had left. And there the teen was now, almost alone, except for a few hunters who had fallen out of the tent. The teen didn't say a word. She left the new arriving hunters to join her team mates out side.

((Cass's a** was dumped here with her group! GASP!! ))
Cass liked Portals, unlike Leon. However, the game was much more fun than the whole 'dumped out of one room suddenly and without warning' thing that had just happened, resulting in her landing in the tent, sprawling out and then rolling for a while. She grumbled as she sat up, stretching out. Oh man, her back hurt.
She looked up when Leon commented on the zoo, getting up to look over things as well. However, there was one cage she lingered on as she passed it, her nose curling up as she looked inside at the ghost.
"Another ********' ghost, eh?" she growled, the anger coming back in a surge, tempted to kick or shake the cage. "Never going to escape you. It seems like every step I take, you ******** are just forming my life for me." she huffed a bit, shaking her head. "Shouldn't even exist - abominations, all of you." She took a look at the other cages in a quick survey, before seeming to use any will power she had to turn away from it and walk to the other side of the tent, keeping her back to the 'zoo' instead, seething. She looked over to Marcus with an almost pathetically angry look to her, unsure if she should beckon him over for complete clingfest or if she should just...
seethe by herself.

"Ah," She nodded in Edel's direction, her eyes scanning the tent; there were all sorts of weird contraptions laying about and there was no telling what each one's function was. She knew that the cylinder shaped one was to convert Halloweeners into weapons - her stomach churned a little at the thought despite being empty - or to erase them if they proved to be 'incompatible'... Which actually sounded like the kinder option.
Perhaps if they could somehow ask any successful intruders to destroy that-
A familiar voice made her frown as she bit down on her lower lip; there were more of those people coming in and they held that same expression when looking at them... They looked at them like they were something not worthy of their time or respect. It made her uncomfortable but she was trying her best not to squirm.
That familiar voice though... It was coming from an unfamiliar figure who had stopped outside her cage. She stared, wide-eyed, her head tilted to a side as she tried to recall where she had heard that voice before.
"Leo..." She blinked, suddenly hit with a sense of dread, "Leoward..." Perhaps they just sounded alike? There was no way - one was a vampire, and this guy looked... Like a reaper. A false reaper!

THE GAUNTLET: ROUND 3b: (PLEASE READ P 15 TOO) The few students who had made it through the gauntlet burst into the tent first. Even though the Soul Harvester had projected already what to expect, there was still a moment of stunned silence as noone dared to move. A small gathering of those strange garbed Reapers stood there, shocked at the new arrivals.
And then, as the cages began to rattle, as the occupants, the prisoners began to gibber and shout excitedly: it was chaos all over again. GAUNTLET ROUND 3b RULES:
- Please note: your student/Hunter is only here if they made it through the run HERE
- You MAY NOT USE PUMPKIN PILLS ANY MORE FOR THIS ROUND
- If your HP hits 0, you will dissipate regardless of the situation and end up back in home base, where you can return to your rooms accordingly as per rules but you cannot return here.
- You can post more than the requirements, but please keep them minimized as to not overwhelm the GMs.
- Pins are back to their normal working order: the Soul Harvester's Fear is almost entirely drained and she cannot help anyone.
FREEING THE PRISONERS:
- The electricity surrounding the cages looks really painful. A prisoner hisses to the students: don't touch the electricity, look for a key. What kind of key? There are all sorts of strange cards lying around, but which one is it?
- Roll a 100-sided dice looking for the key. If you roll above a ninety your student has found the correct key. Even if the key is incorrect, edit and roleplay out your post, with your student grabbing one of the many card keys and trying it out against the cages. YOU CAN ONLY LOOK FOR A KEY ONCE THIS ROUND.
- If your student has found the right key, the cages will snap open, but only the assorted ones on the right hand side. The thirteen cages on the left remain sealed.
- ONCE/IF someone has opened the cages with the correct key roll all prisoners within the cages are free to rp exiting the cages. NOONE IS ALLOWED TO EXIT THE TENT YET, please wait until the next round.
- TiHers are too busy trying to free the prisoners/dealing with them to fight back against the Hunters, DO NOT POST A BATTLE POST
- Freed prisoners have a default of 5 HP (weakened from being in the Tent for so long).
For Halloweeners IN THE TENT ONLY:
[b]ROLL NUMBER HERE[/b]
[b]Rped out post:[/b] Rp it okay.
[b]HP:[/b] List your HP pool and keep track of it. IF YOUR HP IS ZERO YOU ARE DISSIPATED, MAKE SURE YOU CALCULATE YOUR HP ACCORDINGLY FROM LAST ROUND.
[b]KEY ATTEMPT STATUS:[/b] PASS/FAIL For PRISONERS ONCE FREED:[b]Rped out post:[/b] Rp it okay.
[b]HP:[/b] List your HP pool and keep track of it. IF YOUR HP IS ZERO YOU ARE DISSIPATED, MAKE SURE YOU CALCULATE YOUR HP ACCORDINGLY FROM LAST ROUND. (Please keep in mind your default HP is 5). If you are disposable THIS IS THE END OF THE LINE FOR YOU if your HP hits 0, otherwise your student ends up back in the main Hub to respawn.
[b]CURRENT STATUS:[/b] JAILED/FREED HUNTERS:
- ANY TIHER IN THIS TENT IS FAIR GAME. If the prisoners are not freed (jailed in status) yet, don't attack them, obviously. If they are freed, you can target them as well.
- Please refer to the battle guide! You will need to post your status with each action post!
- In this thread, battle will proceed in ROUNDS. If you have a successful roll, one attack per round please.
- DAMAGE MULTIPLIER: All attacks this round by Hunters are super effective. ADD FIVE DAMAGE to your damage roll.
For Hunters who are in battlefield (ROLL THE DICE FIRST TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE):
[quote="Target Username Here"]QUOTE THE USERNAME OF YOUR TARGET, with their characters name in BOLD within it. [/quote]
[b]Rped out attack:[/b] Rp it okay.
[b]HP:[/b] List your HP pool and keep track of it.
[b]Fear/Charge Attack:[/b] List what type your fear is and what it does, along with the charge status of your weapon!

[Entering from Gauntlet thread]
FIRST (?)
The tiger had managed to remove a trap and it seemed that when they got to the tent after following the Soul Harvesters directions they were suppose to enter and help those inside or something? Willow was curious about that tent though.
So she entered the tent and automatically started looking for a key when she heard the whispers of needing one, and she had found herself back on two legs. That made things easier thankfully, hands were always a good thing when dealing with keys. She grabbed one key up and swiped it across the pad looking thingy. Amazingly the doors on the right side opened. She looked around, wondering what next.
Rped out post: Rp it okay.

ROLL NUMBER HERE FIRST Rped out post: Just as suddenly as she'd started tugging (well, eating) the chains came undone and...The something was freed. Cady shivered as she felt the air around the tent ahead subtly change. What was going on? Suddenly, she was stumbling and pinwheeling on two legs, and a shrieking, insistent voice urged them forward. She ran ahead, barreling into the tent flap and nearly running headfirst into...Cages. She hissed and shied away from the dangerous-looking exposed wires they were wrapped in. Heeding the warning whispered by one of it's denizens, she tread carefully but quickly. Key? What? Cady dug around, looking for something that would work. She wasn't even sure what the key should LOOK like. She grabbed a likely looking object - a coffee mug that read 'World's Best Boss' - and went to rub it against a door. It, however, had plans of it's own, as it swung open and hit her in the face. "ARRRRGH!" She yowled. The tip of her nose was singed. HP: 28/30 KEY ATTEMPT STATUS: FAILUREQuote: Cady/Arcadia is currently in her studentl form - that is to say,average height girl with a mane of red curly hair that falls limply around her face in a rather unflattering fashion, and a fairly impressive set of horns. Two cat ears crown her skull, and she has a tawny tail to match that sports a wicked looking scorpion stinger at it's end. Feathery brown wings sprout from her shoulder blades and are currently held closed and against her sides. She has formidable looking teeth an claws, and a vacant stare. Oh, she's also inexplicably in a one piece bathing suit. A loofa dangles from her wrist. Don't ask.

Freya hadn't looked back as soon as the traps were torn free by the remaining students. She couldn't. She knew, the moment she did, she would falter. And she promised him..
She surged through the tent flap, only to see the cages snap open as one of the students she'd never met had unbelievable luck finding the right key. The cage doors slid open, and she stumbled to look through them.
It felt cruel, looking in a cage and then leaving without stopping the help whoever was in it. But she had to find her.. Freya was on a mission.
And when that mission was at it's completion, and she stepped into Lattice's cage, her entire body, still pumped full of adrenaline, sank in horror.
"Lattice? Sweetie?" She whispered at the shell of a ghoul she'd once known.
Was this even Lattice at all?
