Both arms off and the coat was handed to Shun. If anything it just meant she could get a new coat later.
Ironically Rep echoed in her head; something about giving all the information to the enemy. Which she was. She also didn't care; Shun was good people and he had a reason for needing to stay in disguise. Most hunters would kill him on sight; she couldn't say the same for the reverse.
"Yeah. Blue blue scythe, always got a stick up his a**. The other one's Mark- he's the guy who kept bein' like "ahhh is this thing on??" and that's pretty much his deal. Real hobo lookin'. Dunno his weapon honestly." She thought for a moment. "We were called here on ... somethin'- I didn't read the mission statement. Just know we're supposed t'be out here rescuin' civs. Probably means they got potential for bein' hunters f'we're dedicatin' this much time to 'em. Or somethin' else."
She looked around for a moment and the vines reminded her. "s**t that's right you don't know."

Shun took the coat, somewhat begrudgingly. He went on and tried to put it on, pulling the hood over his head. The arms were a bit tight. It felt a bit restrictive.
"I must look stupid."
He took note of where she was looking, then slowly tilted his head.
"About what?"

Chel rolled her eyes. He looked a little silly, but there were much worse body coats. The boob window didn't look nearly as nice on him though; no titties.
"Few months back, island got hit. Hard." Chel had a somewhat glassy look on her face. "People went crazy, attackin' everythin' in sight. Heard there was a little kid found or somethin'- Jack got some words burned on his arm and he attacked me." As in, he hadn't had sense of who he was attacking. None of the green eyes had. She pointed to the vines. "And there were vines, just like that. Creation caused." She waved her hands clearing the timeline. "Month or so ago, Merlin and Protection. Full out war on the island. Didn't see the dudes themselves, but people were gettin' black and blue crystals on their weapons, in their bodies ..."
She ran a nervous hand through her hand. "Startin' t'think that book was wrong man. War's not comin', war's here."

The Reaper narrowed his good eye as he listened to all of this. The war was already here... Well, this city certainly looked like a blasted warzone.
"In which case, it means it is us against the Legacies, basically. Well that is just ******** great." he said irritably while running a hand through his hair.
"Creation... it wants to consume us. Its body is likely made up of former Halloween creatures it has... devoured."

"There is a reason why I mistook it for an Insanity Beast. It was made up of hundreds. No. Thousands of different fear based beings. They have no sense of self, from what I can tell. They just all make up that one entity, now. When it spoke to me, it... it was painful."

That ... made a lot more sense. Chel had also seen the amalgam of sensations, she just hadn't thought to piece it together that way.
"Knew this wasn't gonna be a routine civ drop," she said with a sigh.
She started walking elsewhere; no point in standing in the middle of two undead waiting to be attacked by more. "Startin' t'get worried. Heard from just about everyone on the radio but Jack and Chris. Sure it's nothin' they can take care of themselves but just ... keep an eye out," she said anxiously.

"The only reason why I have access to the radio is because the big a*****e over there had one on his person," Shun stated dryly while thumbing towards the Boss.
He soon shook his head.
"If I run into either, I shall let them know you are seeking the-- What the hell does Jack look like?"

"Same, but because of that chick over there." She gestured with her thumb to a girl ducked behind an alleyway. She was still too wary to walk with Chel, and instead just creepily stalked behind her. She hadn't left though, and Chel wasn't the type to put someone under heavy surveillance.
The question gave her pause and she let out a snort of laughter. Of all the things- he had never seen Jack. Wow.
She pulled out her phone and flipped through the images until she found one that got his visage across without embarrassing him (Chel had many embarrassing photos; true love came in the fact that she didn't use them).
"We're gettin' married," she told him absently. "Well not yet he hasn't proposed ... It's a long story. I'll bring you pictures." How the tables had turned.

Shun stared at the picture, taking in the guy's appearance. Once he had a good look, he nodded to her.
"Very well... And ah... congratulations on the engagement, I suppose."
The Reaper shifted a bit with the coat. It wasn't really that comfortable. He considered cutting the arm sleeves off.
"Now to hope I do not end up blowing my cover... I may not know quite enough about your world, but in the least I know more than most of the students bumbling around this blasted fog."

"No s**t. I'll try and cover your blunders f'I can." She gave him a look and said, "Also? Don't touch the vines."
HOPEFULLY that was obvious by now.

"Yeah, I got that, now."
Yeah, this jacket wasn't quite working out right now. Shun removed it, then swiftly sliced off the sleeves on both sides. He then slipped it back on. Much better.

Chel really should have been more upset about the sleeves being gone. If anything, she was impressed with how badass the ragged edges looked. She'd just have to get new sleeves sewn on later or something.
"Just don't take off the hoodie scarfy thing. I like that."

"I shall not. The hood and scarf may help keep my face hidden from those who have seen me."
He let out a sigh.
"Thank you, by the way. I will have to find a way to return this later on. For now, you should probably try and find your fiance."

"Boyfriend. Let's stick t'boyfriend." Despite being fully ready to marry, Chel wasn't ready for that word yet. It had taken her long enough just to get to boyfriend.
"Anytime grumpy. Just keep it f'it keeps you safe. Don't get why hunters get boners over causin' you guys harm anyways."
She gave him a pat on the back and raised her phone to snap a picture. Just for the memories. She did it so fast that Shun couldn't stop her so there.
