Welcome to Gaia! ::

Personally, Vaith thought it was too soon to make a definitive answer on the matter. Sure, they had the hunter now and this question pertained to this hunter .. but it also pertained to every other hunter in existence. Vaith was tempted to agree with an eye for an eye but the thought made him uncomfortable ..

It was annoying, how he didn't know the answer. Even though he should have.

He texted in "no stance."

The hunter sighed, actually sighed, and gave them a sardonic look, "Just because it's against your laws, doesn't mean that your people don't do it. If you don't have the power to prevent them from going to the Human world, you hardly have the power to vouch for each and every being within this world. Besides," he eyes slid toward Hel. "Even if it they don't kill, not all methods of instilling fear could be considered harmless."

He laughed softly, "You ask me about Insanity, a new and terrible affliction among your kind. But your mere presence in our world can cause insanity among humans."

"Or future terrorists, yes." His lips curled, "And if you think they're the only ones to betray you then lets hope you never inconvenience those in power here." He cocked his head slightly at the questions, "As long as we need them, and the ability to customize depends on the hunter."

Stacey just smiled, "Let's just say its done on both sides of the law."

"We're beginning to think that the mere presence of you hunters is what's causing Insanity among us," Jericho snapped.

The other information was worrisome as well. They couldn't trust anyone is what it boiled down to. New students were not to be trusted. Most of the faculty, and certainly not strangers outside of the school regardless if they were of authority or not.

When Shun had hissed in pain again Mitsu did what she could to sooth him, gently rubbing at his shoulders knowing the pain was out of her hands to treat. Crimson orbs glanced up and about at the other students, staring at Israfel in confusion, turning to Hel, Mot and Mac with concern, looking to Lizzy still trying to process her in admin mode. There was just so much going on. They really should have compiled their questions before this adventure when they could have thought with a clear mind.

The lycan's ears perked again when Stacey made mention that the Kuroda family had not been the only ones to betray their kind. There had been others. Others in power. While everyone seemed to be taking this in it didn't seem like anyone was going to ask. "W..wait if the people you were going to meet today haven't been the only ones...who? Who else has betrayed us and handed our kind over?" In desperate search of answers Mitsu actually moved to Shun's side so that she could face the hunter directly and not just peek at the being from over the reaper's shoulder. Crouched on all fours the lycan looked at the Hunter's face expectantly wondering if there was a way to shut off the threat from the inside at least.

"We...we really did mean to never cause humans harm." Mitsu tried to explain hoping it would ease the hunter into answering with more detail. Though the passed tense might have caught some curious suspicion. "We need the human world as much as our own and I am certain a balance of fear is needed in your world as well." Without the humans they had no FEAR without FEAR they would slowly fade into nothing. Not going to the human world wasn't an option but perhaps a compromise could eventually be made. The probability of it starting here was slim but there was hope.

Also...."Why...are you so calm?" It was a little unnerving. Mitsu would have been frightened out of her wits by now to be captured by a bunch of strange creatures not knowing what they had planned and the Hunter didn't have the luxury of dissipating back home.

It wasn't so much a voice, as much as simply a thought that occurred to Jericho of his own volition. Even in his bloodthirsty state, there was something suddenly telling him that perhaps killing the hunter wasn't the right choice. They were being played for fools, the voice told him. They should leave the hunter where he was, and leave.

Now.

Perhaps, if he didn't listen, then new questions began to crop up in his head. Where was the pendant? Was it really safe holding foreign technology in the hands of students? Maybe it was time to get them to safety, and mull on everything they'd learned so far. Or maybe it was just time to get away from that hunter, as quickly as possible.

But Jericho's stronger, more powerful thoughts warred against this desire. He wanted the hunter dead, and he wanted to do it with his own hands.. perhaps that smaller voice in his head wouldn't be listened to at all. It was up to him, in the end.

One last question bubbled up quietly in Jericho's mind. Calder had mentioned being in that chamber, once. But something had gone wrong, with him. And in the trials, those hallucinations the Horsemen rendered had Hunters proclaiming only some of them acceptable. Jericho himself had been tested, and thrown away for incompatibility. So then, the question remained, why weren't they ready?

But this question came as an idle thought, a passing fancy, and overall, the little voice in Jericho's head returned to focusing on telling him to Run. Now.
