The theater teacher had been a watcher. Since he'd been a student, he'd simply been a watcher. He'd watched his friends be taken from him, he'd fled to save his own life and then lived it, wondering if he'd made the right choice. Cold, despondent, Rengath had accepted inevitability. That some things could not, would not change. Red, so passionate, so brash and reckless- of course those she taught would have become the same. Of course.
Flicking open a gold pocket watch, he looked at the time, then at that which they were fighting. "Ever making a mess of things." No better than Pyre trying to set things on fire. No better than Arel melting. No better than gnomes. No better than students. Sneering, Rengath summoned a small tendril of fire on a finger. One finger lit to two more. "Use what you were born with, seek what you want. All for one, none for all. That was a bit like the old motto wasn't it?" Bright red flames cast out to the field, Rengath paid little mind to the creature's oncoming attack.
"I think I've forgotten."
AMITY BOOST The first 3 to claim this boost will feel/see Rengath's red flames go into them, giving them a boost to strength. If they roll odd +1 to attack IF it hits. If even +2 to attack IF it hits. If you take the buff and miss, the buff is USED
ETA: 2 HAVE YET TO USE BUFF

The light from the professor's fire caught Petro's attention, even more so when the flames suddenly formed a barrier around him

She didn't stop, even as she turned to swing again a red flame seemed to twine around her own purple fires turning the purple an off colored magenta as she pulled back for another strike.
As soon as her fist connected the damage burst forth in twisting flames of red and purple.

There was nothing left in her to try and she knew Shun was going to be mad. Her form shifted before she realized taking her back to her smaller student form. She covered her ears to muffle the noise, closing her eyes and trying to imagine she was back in her dorm. This was all just an illusion after all. It would all go away.

No, he is not proud of himself. Given the chance, he would probably be ashamed of himself and facing the corner by now. However, this is not the time for such childish acts. IT IS TIME TO FIGHT...and hopefully survive this whole thing.

The one armed hug got a small smile. "Hey Eva, you making sure Gale isn't getting crazy targeted this time?" Blue eyes went to the gold haired hunter. "Last time- I'll try to keep you from getting the Chills this time round. Eva, you seen any of the other moons? It's been chaos." Blue eyes scanned the battlefield. "I'm worried, this thing- Is it just another illusion backed with Insanity or have we all just fallen so far that we're a part of it as well now?"
Chaos. That was the only was to describe what the wolfos had walked into. Frost in the Storm growled as whatever it was seemed to ready an attack, red eyes narrowing as everyone seemed content to fight it. He bit back the urge to remove his student pin, but- It was keeping him in the form of a student, not a pure beast. Still, his fur bristled as everyone rushed forward, not paying mind to each other, to what might happen. He had his part to play but- Fist curling he struck out before looking to a nearby student.
Hadn't they- "Clyde!" The wolfos barked out. "You alright?"
Norvie had just about given up on his quest for more corrupt pumpkin pills. When the boogiemen had sent them all on the move, he had somehow managed to get lost for a short while. By the time he rejoined the group of students, the Mad Science professor's bag was overloaded with Insanity-infected items he had found and rummaged through, but at the sight of the massive beast....
He had heard rumors of what had happened to ol' Red. Rumors he could barely believe. It all had seemed outlandish, even by Halloween standards, but there was the proof, the QED, the ultimate specimen roaring right in front of them.
The rat-man had known Red while in school, not intimately, but a familiar enough face in his day-to-day life, he couldn't comprehend what could have done this....
Would she be savable? He had heard she was dead. Dead-dead. Doornail dead. Was this really her or some shadow of what had once been?
Only one way to find out. He needed more samples.
Rummaging in his side pouch, he turned to the closest student before shoving the tiny bottle of who-knew-what-sort-of-chemical, "HEY! Drink this, it'll help!" It looked suspiciously like an experimental energy drink.
Or it could also possibly poison the drinker.
But one had to obey a professor, right?

Before was given front-row seats to a new side of Ofelia he'd never seen before. And he found his heart beating faster, his face flushing (though it could have already been that color since the battle began), and his pulse racing in this odd, inexplicable, giddy thrill. He may or may not be happy in the heart-place too. And maybe he simply just enjoyed seeing this particular brand of fire from the girl that he sort of just stood there, transfixed and watching in awe.
Up until Mort slapped some sense back into Ofelia and Before took this as his cue. "Dinah! Shhhhh, shhhhh, it's okay," he cooed, quickly holding Ofelia back as much as he could, maybe even holding Vanna in front of the Sun Hunter to act as a shield.
At the newbie Deather's threat to both Ofelia and Mort, Before was sorely tempted to release Ofie. God he'd love to watch her go to town on him so badly but there were too many people around, too many witnesses to see Hunters turning on each other. It would be a very bad thing. "Don't worry, Bella, I ain't gonna let this new-face do anything to Mort," he whispered to the witch and only to the witch. Ofelia might have heard it, if only because Before was practically hugging her.
"HEY! NEW-FACE DEATHER," Before yelled out to Jake, "Take your own ******** advice and back the ******** away! I promise you, odds are TOTES NOT in your favor!"

BellaxBefore double team Ofie? In holding her back, that is XD
Shun was getting ready to strike again, but then he noticed Mitsu's form shrinking next to him. What? Turning, he saw her go back to her humanoid state. She had closed her eyes and quite frankly she was making herself rather vulnerable out here.
Cursing lowly to himself, he shifted gears and rushed over to cover her.
"Mitsu... why are you doing this?" he asked. He didn't sound angry. He just.. didn't know what to do for her. Did she just not believe him?
If he was a failure at rallying her then maybe in the very least he could try and protect her from what looked like the beast's incoming attack. Though, he had to wonder if he could even do that. Could he do anything for her?

The hunter managed to get another toss of the bolas in, raising an eyebrow at the way the giant monster was glowing; she couldn't help but see it as a bad sign, like it might start firing lasers at them. Or something equally devastating.

He missed again...Clyde had almost hit the creature, but nope, he just had to miss by two millimeters. He was going to slap himself but a voice distracted him.
That voice... Was that...King?
"King?" Clyde blinked staring at the owner of the voice, he blinked a little. "King! Yea, I'm fine! Got nailed in the shoulder by a hunter, but I'm okay. How are you holding up?"

Maybe those little splotches on Mort were doing much more damage than she'd originally thought. Maybe there should be little patches on Ofie too. They were both acting highly unusual, and while the witch felt at any moment she might give in too, when compared to their own actions, she felt just fine. Especially when Ofelia began to cackle (something the witch would have to compliment her on later, because Hecate, it was a lovely thing!) and then began to speak to her fellow Hunter. Unknowing of any prior knowledge before this, Belladonna could only stand and watch as everyone slung angry words and harsh accusations. Things were getting out of hand, even with the giant scary thing above them, but she was mostly hoping that would be enough to distract everyone. Unfortunately it wasn't and the witch let out a startled shriek when Mort slapped Ofelia, but hardly had time to react to it. Already he was off, heading toward the unhappy Hunter. Quickly Belladonna placed a hand on the fellow red head's shoulder and gave it a soft squeeze to let her know this was all for her own good. Another quick and pointed gaze was given to Clover, as he was more adept than either Belladonna or Mort to handle Ofelia's reaction. At his words she gave him the briefest of thankful smiles, grateful to have made such a kind ally. Then she was off, clattering forward in a stilted run. It wasn't the best move, but she still darted in front of Mort so that she placed herself between the opposing males, and accompanied it with a look drawn down eyebrows that presented the idea to Mort that he best slow his roll. After such a look she turned back to the Hunter and gave him an even fiercer one.
"No, you back off." The witch told him with an accusational finger. "Lower your weapon or put it to use fighting that thing. I would so hate to destroy you using a deck of cards." Belladonna's normally sweet voice was gone as she drew the ring of floating cards in closer toward herself in a dramatic move that hopefully got across her point. There would be no fighting between factions, not when they had a much large issue to deal with.
