"...So then...we've got to look at the Underground cave?" If that was the last place they were seen, it made sense to do back to the scene of the crime, right? "...Five of them, really? I never thought..." As far as he could remember, five students had never gone missing at the same time. That was a bold move on the Hunter's part.
Christof seemed to be staring at Lizzy expectantly, so he just assumed that they were having a text conversation. With nothing else to do he leaned down, scooping the Death Charm (that was more accurately a slightly warm ragdoll) into his arms, cradling it on it's back.

Lizzy looked down at the text, and then slowly shook her head, "N-no... I was... I was with Mot, and when the hunters came with their nets, it got chaotic and messy and... And..." She teared up, rubbing her temples; even when they were walking into the underground cave, she had told Mot that they were willingly walking into a trap. She should have stopped them there, and pulled them back somehow.
"Amrita can take care of herself," She was reassuring herself more than she was reassuring Christof, "Even if you were there... Even if I was there..."
Turning to look at Mac, she frowned, "The underground cave... Do you think we can go back down there? Medea appeared at the end, and I think... If she hadn't interfered, more of us might had been taken." She wasn't sure if the office was still open, or if they had changed the access codes, or-

Christof gave a frustrated whine, pacing now as Lizzy stammered her worries. Where to start, who to question, who had seen what... it sounded like Lizzy had been there and still hadn't seen anything.
Someone had to know.
He would get his answers.
Maybe she was fine. Maybe she was detained by the faculty to ask what had happened. Maybe the worst she had to deal with was a detention.
In his frustration, he suddenly grabbed the edge of Amrita's desk, flipping it throw it onto it's side with an unnerved howl.

At the first sound of crashing, Mac dropped DC - actually dropped him - and grabbed Lizzy's slight waist, pulling her away from the suddenly raining desk contents. DC landed on his feet by some miracle, but the desk hadn't been so lucky; pens, pencils, books, staplers, desks with hastily scribbled notes in a child's scrawl, various little nicknacks...they all went flying as the drawers flew open and the wooden piece of furniture hit the ground.
"...Whoa there buddy!" Mac almost growled, sounding rather irritated at the whole prospect. "That's kind of rude. Pick that s**t back up!" He scoffed, kicking aside a little note that had fallen on his shoe; it was barely legible, but looked like it had been folded and refolded countless times. Garbage.
"Wait. Lizzy, You're not going down there! What if those Hunters are still there? If everyone else dissipated from there, why would those six still be down there?" Which was his polite way of saying Amrita is weak and should have been the first to die.

If not for the fact that Amrita was missing, and that Christof was flipping a desk that was not his and would take forever to clean up - because Lizzy wanted Amrita to return to a nice, neat room, the way she left it - the demoness might have had a 'my hero~' moment when Mac grabbed her to safety.
"Yes, please," She winced, looking at the items scattered around her. Turning to Mac, she frowned, about to argue against what he had just said before she seemed to deflate, shoulders stumping, "Sometimes, I really hate it when you're right." Before she could say anymore, however, she felt her eyephone buzz with a new message-Quote: Text from Mitsu: asdkalowa;lj
"They have her. Mitsu's been taken by the hunters."
That was all Shun said before the line went dead, not giving her a chance to react. She had gone completely still, the eyephone still held up to her ear while her expression was frozen - eyes widened, mouth slightly open in shock. Then, without warning, she started to shake, tears welling up in her eyes, limbs going limp, barely holding onto her phone, "Mitsu... They..."
She should have stopped them from going... Second time. Second time she smelt a trapped, and allowed her friends to walk right into it.

That was all Christof needed to hear.
The hunchback suddenly dropped to the ground beside the mess, his hunched shoulders shaking as he fumbled weakly with cleaning up the spray of school supplies.
A fist full of pencils snapped between his clawed fingers.
They were plastic mechanical sorts.
