As soon as Titus struck again the fog creature seemed to shimmer once more before it let out a hissing shriek - the kind you'd hear as air escaped from something long sealed. It almost seemed as though it was turning to look at the demon before its faded mouth opened one last time.
Beware.
Was it a warning that more was to come, or was it a warning that they needed to turn back? Either way no answers would come for the creature vanished just as swiftly as it had come, leaving no traces behind.
Damage Done: 0
Target: Titus

"Pssh...beware. Isn't that scaring tactics 101?" The creature gone Titus turned to his 'crew' standing there in his pumpkin boxer glory. "Thanks for all the help. It was mightily appreciated."

When the hissing sound of the disembodied fog finally disappeared, Riyo looked up with her ears folded back. It was pathetic, and deep down she knew full well just how pathetic it was, but she just... Couldn't seem to snap out of the funk.
"I'm sorry..." She was... Sorry? Riyo was apologizing to Titus? What the ********? "I wouldn't have been much help anyways..." Not just probably. Wouldn't have been. At all. "So Jackdamn useless..." The ghoul mumbled to herself, nervously playing with her hair and avoiding eye contact with her teammates. Wait. Who was that? Over there?
The demon seemed to shrink down even more when she noticed they were walking this way. "W-who are they?" she asked reluctantly and pointed in that direction.

"I figured you had it covered." Mot said with some snark, still pouting over his disturbed nap. Riyo received a sympathetic look. He wasn't sure how to help her. Showering her in praise might come off as empty praise. He would have to address the issue at a better time. Riyo was a friend, after all.
He looked to where she gestured, spotting the two figures. "Don't know.. but I will find out." Mot got himself up and jogged toward the pair, tapping them on the shoulder. "Howdy. What is going on here?" He asked in as nice a tone as he could manage.

"Well the fact that you wouldn't be much help was obvious," Titus hissed, crossing his arms and looking grumpier than usual. This place was putting him in a special mood. It wasn't a dream though otherwise he wouldn't have Riyo and Mot together. Neither one were fabricated as far as he could tell. Where they just...kidnapped from their rooms in the middle of the night?
Turning Titus saw the figures in the distance and decided to approach marching toward them right behind the cowboy. He didn't seem particularly put off by the thought he was going to be talking to strangers in his underwear.
"Yeah, what's going on? I find myself in the middle of jack-damn no where in my skivvies when the last thing I remember is going to bed. Not to mention there are these strange things in the fog." Titus wanted answers. He wanted them now.

Sleep had not been Hel’s friend as of late. Between that tiff with Mot, and her horrible performance in the Trials thus far, the girl was in a terrible, terrible mood. It greatly affected her appetite and her sleep. She spent a good portion of the night tossing and turning, and when she finally did manage to get to sleep…
WHAM.
Hel awoke with a start, her face instantly twisted into a deep sneer. She was going to kill who ever did that…but the sight that greeted her was not what she had been expecting. Nearly nothing. Where was her bed, her room? But most importantly, where was Amity!? Hel immediately pushed herself up off of the ground, and just took in her surroundings. A lone tree…and…a drill? Her brows were furrowed…though more movement and sounds caught her attention. She then whirled around to find her team mates. Hel stared at them blankly for a moment. Hmm…if this was as simple as the school disappearing, logic suggests she’d be around Mot, Mac, and Shun right now…but since she was here (wherever here was) with her team mates…was this a trial?
More importantly, why was everyone in their sleep clo—oh.
Hel looked down at herself, noting her simple bloomers, bare feet, and tank top. Ugh. At least her hair was braided. That was the only good thing.
She tilted her head as Mot and Titus then moved up from Riyo and went over to speak to someone who seemed to be surveying the area. Oh…so they weren’t the only one’s here, huh? The ghoul made her way over to them, pausing to look down at Riyo. “What are you doing on the ground, eh? Get up, let us go.” Hel’s tone was snappish, and she wasn’t feeling very sympathetic at the moment as she then continued on to where the others were. “We are in a trial right now, are we not?” She asked, once she was close enough. She didn’t even know of this person knew…she just assumed.

Riyo didn't bat an eye at Titus's words. She just took them. It was what she deserved, after all.
At Hel's snappy voice, the ghoul recoiled. They should go without her. The faster she died, the less they'd be held back. Yes. It was what a good leader would do. A good leader wouldn't hold her team back. Instead of responding with some sappy and pathetic garbage, the feline stayed silent, her tail curling around her legs in an effort to pull them tighter into herself.

Xiu had been here this whole time.
Only she looked like this, which is clearly a completely BSed excuse as to why she hasn't said anything/interacted with anyone but shhhhh.
She had been entirely unhelpful during Titus' meeting with the strange figure, content to simply sit and watch. However, now that they actually had things to do, perhaps she should switch back--oh, what was wrong with Riyo? The cat-sized baku peered up at the bakeneko's face curiously, and finally decided to call attention to herself by tugging lightly on Riyo's pant leg.
"What's wrong, Riyo?"

Riyo glanced towards the strange creature silently, realizing all too soon from her voice that it was Xiu. And while she was adorable, Riyo couldn't really be bothered to respond in any way other than to look in a different direction.
And that direction was where those men were.
The weapons.
Riyo recognized the weapons. The weapons that were pointed right at them. "RUN!" The ghoul screeched, trying her damndest to scoop up Xiu in an effort to get away.
But it was too late.
Of course it was too late.
She was a failure.
All she could try to do was use her body to shield the ghoul from the brunt of the shock, but even that probably didn't do well.
The last thought before she blacked out was a prayer. A prayer to whatever merciful god might be listening in hopes that she'd die before her worst nightmare came to fruition.
Before she was trapped alone with her thoughts.
---
The ghoul was awake... But honestly she didn't want to open her eyes. The feel of her surroundings. The smell...
Riyo could guess where they were.
When she finally gained the courage to peek at the world around her, the feline's heart sank. No. No no no! Oh no no no no no.
Leaving Xiu where she was, the feline stumbled to her feet, limbs still twitching from the shock. "NO!" The ghoul screeched, running towards the walls with as much speed as she could muster, only to be painfully thrown back onto the ground. "Iwontbeoneofthem. youwon'tmakemeoneofthem." She got up again, and tried more to ram the walls with all her might. "YOU WON'T MAKE ME ONE OF THEM."
If it hadn't been obvious before, there was something very wrong with Riyo.

Titus stood there for a moment waiting for an answer but paused when he saw what looked like...a gun? A cannon? He wasn't sure and before he could even bring his hands up defensively nets came shooting at him and the others, covering him completely.
Weighted down the demon fell to his hands and knees trying to struggle free but only managed to tangle the net in his horns. Oh joy. He was just about to let out a series of colorful curses when the electricity coursed through him. Instead of words there was only a yell of pain before he blacked out.
When the world gained clarity once again the demon took a moment to adjust to the bright lights over head. Dear Jack why was it so bright and why did it smell so strange?
"What the..." Blinking a few times as he sat up Titus peered around and found that he and the others were in a room of sorts.
"Sorry if we made you feel threatened, we don't mean any harm really, just checking up on orders."
The voice caught his attention and Titus whipped around, eyes narrowed on the people looking through the glass wall. Standing to his feet the demon began to stroll over. "Didn't mean to cause harm my a**." The demon hissed. "What are you guys a bunch of cosplaying reapers?" They were dressed like some of the characters he had seen in the student's dreams. There was even that glowing weapon.
"Why don't you answer a few of my questions and I might feel inclined to answer a couple of yours."
That was when Riyo began to throw herself against the wall and scream at the top of her lungs like a crazy person. The demon regarded her with a creased brow and an expression that clearly said 'what the ********?' "Calm yourself, Princess."

Mot's heart sunk down into the pit of his stomach as the figures turned. Those weapons were all too familiar, and his reactions came much too late. He had no time to run before the net shot at him. Mot crumpled to the ground, the bolts of electricity rendering him useless and out cold. This couldn't be happening...
It was worse.
When Mot awoke, he was somewhere he had never been before. He sat straight up, taking in what the person on the other side of the glass said with a grain of salt. He'd never give information to a Hunter. Not in his life. Mot would rather die.
Titus seemed to be dealing with them in his own way, but poor Riyo was losing it. Mot got to his feet and scrambled to stop Riyo. Grabbing her shoulders he turned her away from the wall, pulling her away from it. "Riyo, calm down." He tried to keep his tone level, but honestly the boil was terrified as well. "I won't let them hurt you, understand? No one will harm my friends."

Livid.
That would be an excellent word to describe how she was feeling.
Livid, panic, foolishness (she should have listened better when they warned about Hunters taking the appearance of Halloweeners).
Once the valkyrie awoke, in quite the opposite of their last environment, she freaked out, though it was quite in the opposite direction that Riyo did. Hel lunged at the wall where the false reapers were at, snarling and quite the color strings of ‘F’ infused sentences here and there. The valkyrie bounced off of the wall, but rolled back to her feet and went right back at it, banging her fits repeatedly on it and glaring daggers at the figures behind it.
Like hell she’d let anyone or herself get transformed…

Riyo heard what Titus was saying, but as to whether or not it processed, well...
It didn't.
The ghoul was about to slam her body into the wall again when Mot took a hold of her shoulders. "Andwhat'reyougonnado?" Her words were quick, her eyes were intense, and her tone was sharper than her claws. Riyo was shaking. "What. in. the. ********. are you gonna do? The walls. The walls are solid. Mot there are four sides to the enclosure not including the ceiling and the floor. four walls. all sides. They can see us from every angle. NOmatterwhereyoumoveinthislittlebox... They're there."
"COATS." She screeched. "WHITE COATS." Her fingers reached up and practically clawed into her own cheeks. "THERE IS NOTHING. WORSE. THAN A WHITE COAT. You're making a promise you can't keep. A check you can't cash. A farm you can't till. A seed you can't sew. You can't protect me. I can't protect me. WE'RE SO ********. Haha. There is nothing. There was nothing on the outside. Nobody is coming for us. We're going to be alone. I'm going to be alone. I'm going away on a trip. I won't let them touch me. I won't let them touch this body. This prison. I will have my escape no matter how painful."
Suddenly her eyes grew distant. "This is it. This is what she wanted for me. This is what I've been striving for. These are my four walls. That is my corner. Where is my chair? I think I'd like a chair. She's waited for me. She's still waiting for me. She wanted this for me. She hollowed me out and left me with nothing but broken glass and a glue stick."
"I have nothing."
"nothing."
"nothing."

Drifter Jet Enduro Mot looked up from his dealings with Riyo to spot Hel. She was almost as nuts as the feline was. "Hel! Geez, you two. What koolaid did they make you drink?" Both ghouls were acting liked trapped minipets. The reaper fretted. Two ghouls he cared about were going nuts, and there was nothing he could do about it. He felt so helpless. Riyo was losing it big time. However, through her rambling he caught words directed at him that hit home. A promise he couldn't keep. It was true. No matter how badly Mot wanted to protect them, what chance did he have of doing so? She kept going, on and on, and Mot almost felt like his own sanity was starting to teeter. Mot held the poor ghoul tightly to him, trying to at least be comforting, though Riyo's mind was likely lost. "Don't give up yet." He said to her, but also to himself.
