It worked! The damn critters were distracted.
"Agreed!" Mot replied back, bolting after to other two boils and away from the now candy hungry pets.
And so they ran. But where to hide?
Ohey! The demon dorms! Didn't Jericho live here? Demon, so uh, DUH yes. "Here!!" Mot yelled, running toward the building. Anywhere indoors was fine, really. He reached the doors, holding them open so his comrades could run in before rushing in after them, closing the door firmly behind him. "Hooooboi... that was kind of scary."

Seeing where Mot pointed, Jericho ran to keep up as they headed towards the demon dorms.
Wait, why were they going here? Well, at least he had the key to one of those rooms. It'd take too long to back track and run elsewhere anyway, so he didn't object and kept running along until all three were inside.
As with the dragon, Shun had no objections to this choice. Once inside, he looked out the window, seeing the philip mini pets scuttling on towards the building. Hopefully the door would keep them out.
"I'd just like to know what the hell they were doing there in a pile like that," the Reaper grumbled before stepping away from the window, "We better go further in... They might keep trying to break in if they can actually see us."
"Yeah, good point," Jericho agreed, "Well if we need a room to hide out in.. I can get us into Riley's room I guess."

"Good question... I'd like to know too but.." How would you even find out?
A hide out? Oh, good. Riley could keep them safe! "Sounds like a plan?" Why not. Mot had never been to the demon dorms before. The boil looked around, edging away from the window, not wishing to see those horrid little coconut gremlins anymore. "Lead the way."

Nodding to the cowboy reaper, he made on his way through the dorms to reach Riley's room. It didn't take too long, especially since he knew the quickest path to get there by heart. Once he was at the door, he produced a key but didn't go in right away.
"Yo Riley. Shun, Mot, and I need to hide out for a bit," he called in. There was no response so most likely the Mindflayer was out. Oh well. Jericho went ahead and unlocked the door and stepped in.
"Watch your step, it's dark in her living room."
While they were making their way through, Shun looked on around curiously to get a feel for his surroundings. While he was on good terms with Xiu and Lizzy, he hadn't really bee inside of this building before. It.. seemed rather fancy really, but he supposed he should expect none less for the demon dorms.
Raising a brow to Jericho for the moment, he just shrugged and walked on inside, into the darkness.
"Well, we should be safe here. Hopefully those buggers aren't ridiculously persistent or anything like that," Jericho said while he was looking around for the light switch.

Mot admired the dorm as Shun did, even whistling at the fancy surroundings. Impressive.
It seemed Riley wasn't home, but Jericho let them in, and Mot wasted no time walking into their hideout. Woah. Dark. Mot halted his pace to a slow crawl, feeling for a wall. Whoops, that was definitely Shuns face, and not a wall or Jericho. He was not flat like a wall, not tall like Jericho. "Crap..Sorry." Mot yelped, deciding to just keep his hands inside his own bubble while Jericho looked for a light switch.
"No windows here or what?" Thick curtains maybe? Why so dark!
...ohya, the hat.

All of the sudden, Shun felt Mot's hands feeling up his face, which quickly caused him to recoil back. He knew it was Mot because he didn't feel scaley hands. Narrowing his eyes, he just barely managed to keep down his knee jerk reaction of attacking because of that.
"Jack dammit.." Shun hissed lowly while backing away, only to trip over something on the ground, causing him to stumble over. Right then, the lights went on.
"Er... You ok there, Shun?" Jericho blinked, having heard the thud and seeing only Mot standing at the moment. With the lights on, he looked around before looking towards the cowboy.
"No windows in here, but Riley can see in the dark anyway so it doesn't bother her."

The sounds of skittering filled the room as things ran to hide from the light.

"Shun?" He heard falling... then the lights came on. At first he was going to help Shun, but the sound of skittering caught his attention, pausing from aiding his friend to stare into the room. "...." Was... that his imagination? He hoped it was. Maybe he weas still on edge from being chased by coconuts.
Shajking his head, he offered a hand to the fallen Shun. "Sorry about that." He chuckled lightheartedly. "But that's interesting. I didn't know Riley could see in the dark." The more you know!
Still.. he felt... like they were not quite... alone.

Both boys paused in place as they heard the skittering as well. Jericho looked around to see if he could see anything, but there was nothing as far as he could tell. He would have thought that Cam was just trolling them but... that sounded more like one thing.
The Reaper narrowed his eyes as he looked around as well, before looking up to Mot. Taking his hand, he pulled himself up before smoothing down his clothes from the tumble.
"..Does Riley have many minis?" he asked the dragon.
"Not really? I mean there's her fishtank but aside from that she just has her Cthulu and my Firebreathing cat around here as far as I know," Jericho replied.
Like the others, he didn't quite feel comfortable here as he normally did. Something was wrong.

So it wasn't just Mot. The others had heard it too. Mot dismissed his weapon for now, having still had it summoned all that time. "That didn't sound like less than three minis.." Mot commented, walking further into the room.
He stood idly after a moment, trying to listen for any signs of life other than the present known company. "You don't think one of those things followed us in, do you?"

"Doubt it," Shun said while looking around, "It would have already attacked and... that still sounded more than just one."
Frowning, he looked around warily, before turning towards Jericho, "You sure there aren't any others?"
The dragon shook his head, "I don't think her cephalopods ever leave the tank. Even then I don't think they'd 'skitter'."
Shifting a bit warily, Jericho looked around the couch.
"Maybe... there's just some bugs or rats in the walls or something?"
Though, he didn't recall anything of this sort during previous visits to the room.

There, on top of one of the bookcases, sitting quite comfortably on it's haunches and staring at the boils, was a cannon cat.
It's tail swished methodically behind it, and it's eyes followed their every move.

"Well..." Mot sighed and rubbed his neck. "I guess we have nothing to worry about then." With no windows, there was not much of a way to see if the coconut things were still outside, and that was even if Riley's room even faced the proper side of the dorm. Surely they would have given up by now anyway.
Still, he felt uneasy. He felt like if he didn't watch his ankles closely, something might bite. Not that they'd get far with him wearing leather boots and all.
The reaper flopped into a sitting position on the couch. No use going out right away, right? Maybe Riley would show up and they could hang out? That and well, why not rest after all that running.
"Man, do all demon's have sweet rooms like this?" He asked, admiring the surroundings.
...
There he saw... a cannon cat? "I thought you guys said she didn't have any other mini pets?" He asked, pointing up at the feline.

"I'm not really sure. I hadn't really been to any other demon rooms aside from Riley's," Jericho said while looking around, "Though I wouldn't be too surprised. I noticed a lot of demons tend to be pretty loaded."
Come to think of it.. he couldn't really think of any actually poor demons. If he knew any, he wasn't aware of their financial situation in any case. Though, he snapped from these thoughts when Mot pointed up at... a cannon cat.
Shun looked at the cat, frowning, recalling what had happened at the Open House. Wait.... now that he thought of that, he remembered Damien had just come from this very room when he was being swarmed by the lot. Tensing up some, he looked around warily, not sure if he should be expecting more.
"Tiamat's s**t..." Jericho cursed, "The cats aren't hers... they're a jack damn pest that won't leave her the hell alone. We better get rid of it for her..."
The dragon paused there as he tried to reach up for the cat, "And let's hope that for the love of Jack and all that is scary that the rest of the hoard isn't around."

They're a pest? Mot looked back up at the cat from his spot on the couch, raising an unseen eyebrow. He'd never encountered them all that often. What did he know?
The rest of the hoard? All that skittering.. could there be more?
Mot got up from just having sat down. "Better make sure..." Mot did not want to snoop around a ghoul's personal space, so he simply walked around the living room, checking places a cannon cat might hide. "Heeeere kity kitty kitty~"
