"Umm what if his arm vanishes, you know, since you just tossed it past where I nearly vanished?"
Simple question; serious question. Aymet might have just lost an arm for the remainder of the trip?

Bartholomew was fortunately not fast enough to go very far, and didn't need much tugging either.
He found himself sitting back in the graveyard with an audible "Whoof!" He looked up at Lilith, giving her a slightly goofy grin, then smothered it and cleared his throat. This was not the time for that! At least he was going to be trapped here forever, Lilith wasn't a bad person to be stuck with.
"Err, hi, Lilith. Came along, too, did you? ...Not as safe as advertised? You know, about those transport device things, I don't think they would be impossible to figure out. To make one, I mean."

Hearing Lilith's voice shout out Barth's name, he glanced over to see what was going on. A brow jacked up at how she clung to him like a limpet, as always. In a way, it made him feel incredible gleeful that she never took notice of him. In all honesty, it should irritate him, being as he was, but for some reason, it didn't. Not sure when this had started, this dis-attachment to Lilith, but he was happy with it. Maybe it had to do with time or something, he didn't know anymore.
But the more he watched the other students, the more he noticed that things seems to be caught in a... loop of some sort? He had to make sure Lizzy and Amrita were close by, so nothing happened to him, but he had to keep an eye on what was going on. Luka, however, had other ideas and was running around, yapping excitedly about the new surroundings, loving the fact that he could go through what should be solid things.

Frowning, Jericho sighed as he couldn't grab a hold of the dirt or even really move it. It seemed that Aksaja didn't have much of a better time either. There was a slight glimpse of hope as Christof went to tackle it with his shovel however.
Looking up towards the others, he furrowed his brow as Riley launched Aymet's arm into the street. He had missed the bit of Mal getting its blade back so he really didn't know what the Mindflayer had in store here.

Aymet looked away from the makeshift arm-a-rang to stare at Sammy with the lifeless eyes in the skull sockets. "Wait, my arm's going to WHAT-"

While Christof's shovel indeed did go INTO the ground, did not actually move any of the dirt itself. In fact, Christof would probably find himself rather itemless, as the shovel went into the ground with no resistance at all.
Aymet's arm began fading fast, as it sailed over the road, disappearing until there was only a hand, then a finger, then the tip of the finger, and as it arced over the middle of the road, it faded entirely. However, something odd happened. The pendant at the other side of the road suddenly hummed loudly, as if resonating with that little bit of Fear.
It looks like they would need a bigger object...
Astra would find, a couple of moments later, a brand new - or slightly used - arm right at her disposal, a couple of feet by her.

Holly shrugged. She had no idea what was going on now. Metal boxes on wheels. Now what were the other students even doing? She went up to someone (anyone god please). "So what's going on??"

"Well I just nearly vanished into thin air, so yes your arm might have an-" she stopped. "Well it's gone, or wait huh?" She turned again glancing at Astra. "Hey dude, I think your arms just fine, but did you all feel that? When it got close something started to happen...." She frowned for a moment eyeing her own arm, no no, she wasn't THAT dead she could remove it, she would prefer to keep it fully intact. "Your call bone dragon, toss me your other arm I have an idea to add to Riley's maybe if we can get enough parts over it'll make the pendent work again."

Lilith had seen Vi, but lately the envy demon had been so distance and disinterested in her. She didn't want to get in his way, and now was not the time to poke around. She gave him a look though, a concerned one that said 'please stay safe' before she turned to Bartholomew giving him a not so friendly look. The look to the sloth demon more or less said it all: why would you stand there and disappear!
Whatever though. The reaper found herself falling to her knees beside him, her orb gently in her lap.

"It looks like it loops around. What flies there... ends up here..." Malodore looked at the students and steeled itself. "I propose we throw one of us over there. As far as possible. Whoever is smallest... while radiating FEAR, if you know how. If no one else will volunteer, I am both bird-boned and lightly bodied," it added, nodding soberly. It didn't like the idea but it liked this place even less.

Christof gave a muffled yelp as his forceful ram of his beloved shovel just kept going until he hit the ground forcefully above it. The alarmed noise was then replaced by frantic whining as he frantically tried to dig after it. Trapped in a graveyard with NO SHOVEL?? Panic had taken hold now, but no matter how much he clawed, the ground remained firm and unaffected by his trembling frantic hands.

"Wait wait wait," Aksaja said, holding a hand up. "Just to be safe, why don't we try a whole lot of uhm. Stuff." He looked rather pointedly at Cristof at this point.

Rubbing his chin, Jericho saw the shiny grow brighter before looking around to see that Aymet's arm had reappeared around here. Letting out a huff, he inched towards the edge of the street once more. He had the same idea as Mal for the most part.
"Here goes nothing!"
With that said, he charged head on into the street towards the shiny.

Ren slipped his fingers through Alessa's, tugging her closer. "This isn't right," he muttered, confusion making his brows draw together as he glanced around the cemetery. The ghoul in question, the one standing a few feet away from them, hadn't even reacted to the shout from the dragon boil, hadn't even batted an eye towards them. Instead, after being greeted by another boil, she had turned away from where they stood, talking loudly with him and seemingly totally oblivious to the crowd of Amityville students.
"Well," said Ren. "I think that makes it obvious that they - whoever they are - can't see us."
Alessa's voice cut through his internal musings, unnaturally high, her words coming out faster, as if tripping over one another. She's frightened... Ren thought. Understandable, considering the circumstances - I'm definitely a little weirded out myself. He leaned over, brushing his lips against her temple.
"Shhhhh," he murmured. "We're not dead. It'll be all right. Just...stay with me, okay? Don't wander off anywhere; I've gotta keep track of you - especially you - and Miss Wolf here (and okay, Snakey too), and I don't want to lose either - any - of you."
Squeezing her fingers, Ren let his gaze sweep out across their surroundings, eyes narrowing slightly as he took in what exactly was going on. A few of the students had started to run off, but others pulled them back - a good thing too, considering that they had started to disappear.
Ren glanced down at his own body - his left leg was considerably paler than his right leg, and Alessa's left arm was visibly see-through. It startled him, his fingers automatically tightening around hers as he looked at LW, Gabrian, and the dark haired girl who had joined them - Alcy, was it?. All of them were beginning to fade in and out, various parts of them disappearing. That, and the pendant across the street had begun to resonate loudly, thrumming audibly.
"Uh," Ren said, his stomach twisting. "...what's, ah...going on? We're throwing someone?" He looked around, searching for the smallest person until his eyes landed on Tybalt.
"He looks pretty small."

"Well Malodore, at least in the name of science you can tell me if we try what it's like to completely va-"
She paused watching as Jericho blitzed on by, "Or we can ask Jericho what it's like?"
