Pleased to see them slowly pile through, Mei pushed herself up into a standing position, clasping her hands together. "Anyone up for more exploring? I figure this school is pretty big. It was kind of hard to tell with the fog and all.." Rubbing the back of her neck, she dropped her hand to her side again. "How are you feeling?" She asked Bul, curious if any of the pain had subsided yet or not. Probably not, and it was probably a dumb thing to ask as well. At least Seiji was there to help, and well, she could always help be a second crutch for him.

West let out a yelp as Holly smacked his cast that quickly degenerated into laughter. "What? Thas'swhat she said! Horriiee," he taunted again, hopping back out of the fox ghoul's reach. Upon the entrance of Mei, who he recognized from that poker game he had gone to what seemed like eons ago, West sobered considerably. If he had been looking for someone who was hurt, the boil that entered next fit the bill. Damn. Maybe they should all see what was in the infirmary after all.
"No, 'm'not givin'er piggyback ridesat school," he muttered, even though the likelihood of that actually happening was fairly high. No matter how docile Savior seemed now, West still saw her as an unpredictable deadly force who it was better to keep content than die at the hands of. If piggyback rides kept her from killing him in his sleep, then piggyback rides Savior would get.
He looked at the map again. "We could splittup?" he suggested. "Which door y'think we're'at?" One of the ones on the outside made the most sense, probably the one at the bottom, but he would wait and see what the majority of the students gathered here said before he voiced his own opinion.

It had been a long and harrowing trek to get up to this building, it was a school though...abandoned perhaps but a school. What better place to look for missing professors after all? Sin ignored the graffiti on the walls, it was so tasteless and juvenile. She entered the school building with Rosc & Alcyone and paused at the threshold.
Sin blinked and picked up a scrap of notebook paper reading it and then passing it to Alcie. "Does everyone everywhere have to complain about how hard school is?" She shook her head with a wry smile, it seemed some things were universal. It didn't occur to Sin to think ominously of the note combined with the writing on the walls. She already in fact felt sort of safer here, a school setting had become familiar to her.
"Oh look a map that's useful..." She walked over to examine which way they ought to go. "Hmm..quite a few of these doors seem locked or blocked, better steer clear of them." She pushed her hair back and looked at her companions for input.

Bul smiled to Mei weakly and shrugged. "Not as bad as I was out there..." he said, glancing over at the Succubus that just entered and then to West, neither of whom he knew. Well, hopefully they'd all get to know each other soon anyways, since they were wandering around an 'empty' school together- there weren't TOO many places to go, right?
"Think we could find some bandages or something here?" he asked Mei though more to anyone in general. "I'll feel a bit better if I'm not grazing s**t with these.." he said looking down to some of his dagger scars. Well, it was better than getting his head sliced off by a scythe or axe cloak that was for sure- not that Bul knew that.

Alcie wasn't exactly thrilled to realize that the building in the distance was a school house. Going from one school to another one wasn't great news especially considering the fact that she was sure that this town or the fog was responsible for her momentary insanity.
Following Sin and Rosc, the water demoness entered the school house. She glanced at the piece of notebook paper that Sin had handed her and chuckled slightly. "Seems like the writing of a depressed student. I wonder what kind of school this is..."
Alcyone took a look at the map too and made a mental note of all of the blocked doors though she would probably quickly forget. "Yeah, they're probably blocked for a reason... You think there's anything lurking in here?" Or worse... something that could induce insanity... Though she wouldn't be surprised if there was something that wanted to harm them lurking in these hallways...

Her eye's wandered over to the wrath demon, while her mind struggled to connect his face with a name. "Errr.. W..es..t? Was it..?" Or something close to that. She remembered him from somewhere, though she couldn't recall---THE POKER GAME! "AH! You won my HP Doll!" Pointing towards the boil, she dropped her hand once more. "Your at least taking good care of it, right..?" She hoped so, they were family to her. Ah well..
Nodding, she couldn't agree more with Bul. Anything was better than outside. "I don't hear or see anything anymore.. Er--the hallucinations that is." Was it the fog that caused them? But then.. In the building before..? Whatever. It was something of the past now, it was time to move on.. or at least try too. Spotting the succubus passing by, she gave a small wave to Sin, in case she had looked her way. She hadn't seen her since before the whole shipwreck.. Thankfully, she looked to be fairing well.. better than they had anyways.
Looking over Bul's wounds, she reached for a piece of her dress, tearing large strips from it. "We can try, but these will have to do for now. I'm not sure how clean they are though, considering everything that's happened.." Wrapping them around the worst of his wounds, she stood back to examine her work once finished. "There!"

The monster boil looked down to his newly covered wounds and furrowed his brows, extending an arm out, though not considering how filthy he was, and offered the living doll a hug. It was the most he could do for now. "Thank you Mei, I really appreciate the help," Bul said running a free hand through his now scraggly hair.
"So wait.." he turned and noticed that the others had been examining a map on the wall. Of course a school would have a map! This was fantastic! It was about time they got some.. er... sort of direction. "Should we take a look at the map? Course, I don't really wanna split up too much again.. Jack no. "

He heard voices that he wasn't aware of before, they didn't sound familiar, not at all. Damien did freeze up at bit as the other tones danced into the air, was it in front? No, it was behind them, he turned around and saw a few students wandering into the school, not much different than how the group he was traveling with did.
Except that there was a boil covered with wounds. He couldn't help but cringe at how bad the damaged looked from where he was. maybe if they were lucky, they could stumble across a medical supply closet in their search and stock up on the essentials "Is he going to be alright?" he spoke loudly to the group that was a little ways back, pushing himself away from the wall in case the boil wavered from his position.
Of course he was concerned, the teachers that traveled with them didn't seem to, considering they still haven't found a trace of them anywhere. "Wait, you want to split up in here? He asked West with a confused tone. "Considering what happened not to long ago, it doesn't seem like a very safe idea." He told the grumpy red head as he checked his flashlight to see if it still operated by giving it a couple of taps on the wall. Still Kicking, not bad.

To be honest, she was a little taken aback by the hug. It wasn't exactly a gesture she had become accustomed to yet. She more used to snide remarks and other of the like---usually brought on by her actions. "Oh.. Well, your welcome." Returning the hug, she took a small back after letting go. "Though.. It would probably be best to find you some clean material.. Wouldn't want an infection.." The school was bound to have something of use. She doubt that the infirmary would have been cleaned out of supplies.
"Map?" There was a map? Turning her attention towards the students gathering before the map on display, she gave a nod at Bul's question. "Probably, it would be nice to know where we're going for once. We can also find the infirmary that way." Spiting up was a last resort she would take, and even then, she wouldn't want to. "I think its better to stay together for now. No telling if those cloakies will show again." Glancing over at Seiji, Junko and the others, she was unsure of what decision they would come to.

Fortunately for Holly, Savior wasn't watching her little interaction with West and so the aggression went on passed. The Marrowstripe was far too interested in a rather small creature that had come through the doors, something rather skitterish, and so it was with great curiosity that she found herself having followed close to Jove and was watching him. She didn't exactly approach him, instead she made a rather hollow sort of whistling sound, and then her interest was gone. It soon passed to the others around her, all students dressed so funny and, most importantly, not smelling of Marrowstripe. If any of them had come into contact with a Marrowstripe, even just a slight touch, Savior would know. It was possible that one of them had been marked and she wasn't certain of it and that thought made the monster quite. . . paranoid. It was actually a little amusing to see that she was thinking at a level far higher than she should but it was all basic instinct actually taking over.
Should she find a student, any one at all (except maybe West, that dog-person-thing, and Holly) she was going to break their back and toss them outside as a warning sign. The smell of their dying bodies would likely attract the males, if only for a moment, for the second that the person died the group inside the schoolhouse would have a blocker to prevent the front entrance from being used. Of course then Savior also couldn't get out even if she tried, but she wasn't thinking that far ahead.
"Together. No. Groups. No." It was the first time Savior had said anything since she started doing her little circle around the students, each one having very much had her poke them at least once in the side. Even the most injured boy, who smelled of death, wasn't free from Savior's exam. Of course she had no idea what was going on so she was using what limited vocabulary she had to speak, knowing full and well that whomever wanted her with them should easily take her. "Marrowstipes, maybe. Hurt youse, protect."
In a roundabout way Savior was offering her protection to whomever wanted it. If she wasn't claimed, she'd simply go with West and/or Holly (or maybe even the dog-person thing whom she didn't remember their name). The monster wasn't sure how much use she'd be to anyone, they all didn't seem the type to just reach out and want something, but things had to happen. There weren't any whistles at the moment but Savior knew that they would be returning soon.
Marrowstripes never gave up on a hunt.

Rosc followed the ghouls in a little more slowly, once more using his tree branch as a sort of cane. It really was just easier for him to walk with it in that fashion, rather than trying to carry it over his shoulder or something, but when it all came down to it he was still feeling that fight with the reaper with the whip. By now, the hand the whip had wrapped around at one point was throbbing slightly, but there was nothing he could do. He hadn't brought pain killers with him, stupid as that sounded coming from someone who got frequent headaches among other things. Sure, he could have just stayed outside, rested a bit. But that meant leaving the ghouls to fend for themselves, leaving Sin. Yeah, when HalloweenTown froze over.
He glanced around, letting the ghouls look at the notebook paper while he focused for a quick once-over of the map. Classrooms were all open, Infirmary, Boil's bathroom. Everything else was, he was assuming, unable to enter by the sloppy x marks.
"What do you think?" he asked the ghouls, looking off towards the sound of voices. Other students, perhaps? Or more reapers? Or could it just be his mind playing tricks again?
((Poor Rosc, 11 HP XD))

Junko was feeling much more comfortable, though she still worried about certain things. She was doing her best to ignore anything that would make her twitchy again. At least she wasn't hearing as many voices, and she felt less watched.
Bul didn't look so good, how did he get so bad anyway? Maybe Mei did it. Heh. No! Bad Junko! Bad thoughts! Stop that! She shook her head as if that would make any negative thoughts she may have go away, digging for her flashlight in her bag and pointing it toward the school. "Weird...'detention's a real killer' yeah...it is." She sighed a bit at those memories, reading over the rest of the graffiti. Kill the teacher before the teacher kills you? That didn't bode well.
Despite all that... "I want to go inside." Junko told the others, looking up at Seiji and then toward Bul and Mei. "Maybe it's not so foggy inside, and Bul could maybe use a place to rest, right?" It'd be safer inside! At least that's what Junko thought.

Sarias washed the blood from her hands; the puddle was filthy but anything to get the liquid off her palms, anything to stop the memories from shouting in her mind. Was it her blood? Was it Raziel's? Colette's? They were both fine though. She couldn't remember...couldn’t even tell if it was real. This place was freaking her out - never before had she doubted herself so much, she was so strong and now? What now...
"Get a grip Sarias, your not weak like these fools."
The back of hand pushed across her eyes, the smudged eyeliner running away in little black trails across her cheeks. Standing up she looked up at the school, daunting and dark it echoed everything that was wrong with this place. Bewitched eyes followed the other students making their way inside, making their own fate.
She would do the same; least these losers have all the fun.

Stage 1 Its such a still, dead building that the echo of your footsteps seem jarringly loud. But overall...the building was nothing special...it may be better than the fog, but maybe you were mistaken. Maybe there was nothing significant here afterall. Then again, if the only choices were to explore the school or go back out into the fog, it wasn't like there was any more promising options. Your ChoicesExplore the East Wing The boy's bathroom is open. Those who've ever visited the other bathroom would feel a wave of nostalgia at the crusted and crumbling walls, broken mirrors, sinks that spew red muck, and the empty stall that always feels like it has someone in it (but only because the toilet's full of bugs.) The infirmary has no useful medical items, no matter how hard you search or what logic you try to apply to the situation. The bed looked nice until someone sat on it, and dirty moisture started seeping through the sheets. Room 104 looks like it may have been an art room of sorts. Mannequins, busts, and odd sculptures litter the area. Room 105 was definitely a science room, but its sinks and lab tables very much resemble the boy's bathroom. The walls are covered in dissection posters covered in grime and faded with age, but what you can see looks awfully... familiar. Once again, logic may tell you that a useful health item or chemical weapon hides here, good luck with that.
Explore the West Wing Room 101 has been stripped bare except for its neatly arranged desks and the podium at the front. Out of all the rooms in the building, this one looks the most recently used. The corner of a piece of paper sticks out slightly from one of the desks. It looks like it had been taped there. The various equations and proofs that line the wall indicate that Room 102 was for math. Though erased, you can tell that the last picture drawn on the blackboard has been fairly...lewd. Room 103 is completely empty.
Explore the lockers The lockers that line the hallways are seen in varying stages of abuse. Some almost look normal, while others are missing doors, emit odd smells, and/or look like something very solid was bashed into them very hard. Near the western exit, you can hear a soft crackling sound coming from locker 110. sssst.....sss.....pop! ssssssstttt......shhhh.....secured....the gymnasium...sssshhhhhhhhhhsssttttt
The locker itself is locked firmly.

Sin smiled as she caught sight of Mei and returned the wave, oh good others were here and they were alright! Then she heard Junko and whirled around smiling at her friend. This place was MUCH better then the fog! Here there were lots of other students and if they were all over the school together exploring then the odds of getting hurt were far less right? Of course! Sin looked around again and then back at Rosc and Alcie.
"I think we should try and open some lockers, someone may have left something useful behind. I would suggest a cafeteria cause I'm starved but whatever food might have been left behind has probably gone bad by now anyway..." She didn't sound too pleased about that, Sin was used to her gourmet meals.
She walked down to the first locker and then glanced at Rosc. "Think we can pry it open with your branch?"
