Lighthouse

Damn, looked like he wasn't going to have any pie anytime soon. Oh well, no time to really think about that right now. Later. Yes.

"Right behind you." He followed along with the rest who charged after the Mist Hunter. Zascha was too curious to turn back now and he couldn't just abandon a fellow peach lover. If she didn't come back then what?

Without reservation, the Moon Hunter charged through the portal. Ready or not there was no going back now.

For some reason, a fair quantity of her human peelers in training found a live, running Hunter from Mist Division more interesting than a dead one. Mimsy rolled her eyes and laughed to herself. Children.

"There is work to be done!" she called after them, hands on her hips, before dropping down to sit on her heels. She stared at the body and sighed a heavy, exasperated sigh, as if it really were a huge pile of vegetables that had to be peeled before dinner. And with all the dignity one might use to handle a handful of carrots, she picked up the beheaded corpse's arm by the wrist, and plopped its hand into her lap.

After summoning Svensyl (who had been previously arguing his merits as compared to a vegetable peeler), she straightened the corpse's index finger by rubbing her thumb over it, then pressed the tip of the dead Hunter's finger to the edge of the blade.

Then, as she hummed something that sounded like an altered version of 'Itsy Bitsy Spider', she began to carefully slide the finger across it.

"Don' think we need to go, ya." Milo echoed Jack's words, grinning a little - heh, she was clinging to him, and she didn't like physical contact. "Think it'd be more fun anyways." He also particularly want to sit there and watch Mimsy, uh... do what she was doing with that corpse.

"And we got Green Giant as a big shield, all will be good, ya?" He maneuvered himself to slide his hand in Noemi's, in an attempt to assure her that things would be awesome and also to make it a little more easy to drag her along and follow after the tall Lifer.

Due to the past memory that the pool of blood triggered, Edgar the prince obtained a shu koala.

Noemi would've sighed in relief. she was about to tell them that she could stay here and take of the body...or something. Maybe go back to her room and hole up for a month from the shock of dealing with a dead thing flying down from the sky.

Instead, she watched in horror as Mimsy started....doing whatever she was doing.

"GO!" She squeaked, squeezing Milo's hand and then tugging him towards the Lighthouse portal, along with Jack and not looking back even at the girl's creepy tune. Oh god, she would remember that for nightmares to come. It overrode everything about personal space invasion, about her fear of both of the taller men. She just wanted to get AWAY.

"Anywhere but here. We go to mission." She nodded and looked up at Jack, "We talk after yes?" She would need too. She really would.

Finn suddenly noticed a lot if traffic heading towards the lighthouse. Eyebrows raised, he wandered in that direction, and simply stood back and watched for a time as many people he both knew and didn't rushed on through.

And then he saw Jack.

"Mission?" He asked, not sure if he really wanted to know what was going on.

Lydia was simply wandering around humming to herself when she stumbled, quite literally as she tripped over several potatoes, onto the scene at the training fields.

"Oh, hello everyone! What's going on he----WHAT IS THAT?!?" She shrieked as she suddenly noticed the body, hands reaching for the glasses on top of her head to pull them on so she could get a better look, though she still squinted even from behind the lenses.

"......Oh!" She suddenly seemed to realize what she was seeing and blinked a few times. "Are you sure the finger is the best place to start?" She asked Mimsy, taking a few steps closer to better see what the other woman was doing.

"Excellent~ Come along, then." And so the potential list of lackeys grew.

"Close enough," he answered Finn without missing a beat "If an impromptu dead body investigation counts. Heading back to the Sahara with some back up." Jack indicated the pair of shorties (relatively speaking) over his shoulders as he headed through the portal.

Sahara?

"You mean fodder then." He smiled in his usual cold way, though a chill went down his spine at the thought of that blasted place. Still, his eyes flicked to Jack's companions, and he sighed.

How badly did he want to potentially die today?

"Ya, ok. Room for one more in your group?" He asked, striding over to walk beside Jack, passing through the lighthouse portal with him no matter the answer to that particular question.

Fodder? Eyesquint to Finn. "Always room for one more," and yet still passed on a smile. Even with that comment. Even with the prospect of heading back to the Sahara with the possible gigantic bugs. Well, hopefully they would be fine. They got the numbers at least.

"Oh hey, we're almost a full Ranger team!" Milo realized with a laugh, still following along. He hung back with Noemi, swinging the hand that held her's up like an excited child as they passed through the lighthouse portal/

Was someone critiquing her work?

With a frown, Mimsy paused her peeling to look at the unfamiliar trainee next to her. She seemed thoughtful, and idly fiddled with her weapon as she considered something.

Then she shrugged, and gave her a pleasant smile.

"I am open to suggestions," she finally replied, nudging her glasses up. "Is there a method that you are more familiar with, that might be better suited for this task?"

Melvin was in the middle of peeling a perfect potato. Perfect. He was even making it nice and smooth like starchy oval pearl, and was rather proud of his work - before a body fell from the sky and splattered blood all over his perfect work.

Startling, he jumped to his feet and looked around expecting a actual titan. His eyes went up, expecting some great bird or something flying, but there was nothing there. Just a poor hunter laying on their carefully peeled work.

Everyone surrounded the hunter, leaving Melvin to look over shoulders and peer in. Seemed like a Mist hunter, though where the head had gone did leave some questions. Melvin half wondered if it was going to drop down like some gory apple any moment, but it never came. Exactly what would you do with a head?

Since the man (?) was already dead, checking them for health or rushing them to the Infirmary was not needed. However, informing that a death had happened out of the blue was. "We should contacts some leads." He said, but found he didn't have a number. "Does Deus have 911?"

He tried dialing # to see if he got Deus customer service.

He was waiting on the phone before he saw a group start taking off, and he looked over to see a Mist hunter, weapon drawn, running to the lighthouse. There was a good group, and while he wanted to go, he wanted to make sure the body was taken care for. This was a person after all. One of them.

As he waited, he realized that Mimsy, who he thought was just inspecting the body, was actually CUTTING IT!

Startled, he went over and yanked her back. "What are you doing?! He is not a potato, you idiot!"

No Mimsy. Bad. Bad Mimsy.

Noemi didn't even know what Finn meant by Fodder, so long as she didn't have to see someone else cutting into a body like you would a chicken dinner.

It seemed though that Jack and Finn were friends, and she did feel a bit better with more people (especially people she barely knew huzzah!). Perhaps with more people, she could selfishly hide behind them and not be a subject of enemy attention.

It was hard though when Milo was swinging her hand between them (which she was also realizing that it was super inappropriate for the situation and was admittedly trying to gently tug her hand out again...), as if happy to where their new path led them. "You are still odd Milo." She said, "I do not understand your ranger references." She was starting to realize that too many people were enthusiastic about this type of work (And holding hands).

It made her nervous again, as if she should be too? Augh, So many things. Once they were through the portal, it would be a whole different matter.

Lydia gave the other woman a large smile when she stopped, straightening up as well while pushing the sleeves of her sweater up to her elbows, as though getting prepared for potentially messy work.

"It all depends, I suppose. Do you intend on attempting to remove it all in one whole piece to preserve or are your intentions geared towards eventual consumption?" She asked, all too seriously before continuing on.

"In either case, you're better off with a smaller blade, to ensure less likelihood of cutting through the muscle as well."

Just a suggestion, Mimsy.

The man that pulled the other woman back received a fairly startled look, before she smiled at him as well.

"Well there is no doubt she can see that! The physical structure of a potato would surely not be confused with that of a human body, headless or not."

She was positively beaming now.
