Arel? Out of the office? Eh, no matter. There were certain applications the hunchback had in mind for their new technological development. Sound feed. Right. Obediately, the hunchback reached forward to fiddle with a knob on another board that had been plugged into the laptop. Immediately, static blared only to be replaced by a muffled array of nearby voices. The Slowbot seemed to be getting the better picture, but the Doombot was picking up nearby sounds well enough. "Hrm," Christof grunted, turning off the second camera so they could concentrate on one picture.
A few more buttons, switches and control fiddlings and the quicker machine twisted it's bladed mantis-like appendage to scoop up the slowbot until it was at least a foot or so off of the ground. It's little "head" folded down until he could set the other robot on the flat of it's psudo-neck and shoulders. That was the best he could do about higher vantage point. Right. Onward, to the lockerrooms...
A proper tiny mechashiva, the Sloombot rolled forward.

Oh ho ho! Convenient sidekick in the stalking, get! Shehk grinned, tilting her head in a slightly adoring manner to look at the ghost ghoul who had come to join her, her tail perking just a bit as she smiled.
The pricolici's voice dropped to a low whisper; "I don't know. Sounds like something that may be juicy gossip though." she mused with a light smile. "Besides, this should be pretty amazing to listen to...if we don't get caught." Shehk didn't even glance towards the walking pair of faculty, simply playing innocent instead.
She could hear if people were quiet though.

Danny let out a squeak as Calder pulled her closer and hushed her. She nodded furiously as he explained the faculty's love for each other. How ... romantic! (This was romantic, right?)
She listened adamantly as he pointed to each one and madlibbed for them. Wow! Kelpie Calder had amazing hearing! Danny smiled and followed him forward in his quest for eternal romance stalking. It was a good thing she had friends with such good hearing. How else would she hear the confession?
"So ... does this mean they'll get married and stuff?" Danny said quietly. She hadn't the first idea about what "romance" really was. Perhaps Calder could clue her in.

Oh there were so many smells!
Normally Damien was never assaulted by the overbearing scents of multiple people in one section of the school, but his tail went absolutely rampant when multiple scent trails came rushing downwind through the hall. "Oooh, something big is going down." he growled out lowly before doing something that would have been peculiar if he wasn't trying to be stealthy.
He slipped off his boots.
It was much better to dash down the hall barefoot than to stop through with his donk stomping footgear. But it didn't take long for the bushy tailed boil to come across the pile of students slowly amassing behind the faculty.
It didn't even cross his mind when Damien crept up behind the Pricolici's ear. "Are they going on a date?" he asked in a hushed whisper, which was a new thing for the boisterous canine student.

What the HELL are you two doing? Riley shouted into their minds. It was loud. It was pointed, and it was... definitely not stealthy.
...
Lucky for everyone involved, she was saying it to Barth and Christof, who were hunched up together in the Mad Science room - which meant only they heard it.
Seriously. What's with all the secrecy? She had been walking by the room with Jericho when she heard Barth's quiet voice, and peeked inside - was this now their personal playroom? She didn't get a personal playroom..
But this was no time for jealousy. She was too busy wondering what the two of them were planning without her - oh wait, guess there's always time for jealousy!
She walked in without really being invited, and stuck her neck out to get a better view of their little project. Are you guys playing a video game?

((proxy post for Huni Pi))Huni Pi The hallway was crowded, oh so wonderfully, perfectly crowded, like it always was. It was the ideal place to hide as far as Legs was concerned. She'd managed to give her upper half the slip, acting on her impulses to explore and experience the school for herself now that she was free from the well.
She hid amongst a group of first years, too engrossed with chatting and walking to notice an extra pair of legs had joined them. And Legs stayed with the group until she spotted (despite having no discernable eyes) Red and Arel. Ah, she recalled the Gym Teacher from the memories she managed to share with Tess and felt the same level of gratitude for her help. Arel, on the other hand, Tess had only... unpleasant memories as her upper half always saw him just before terrible things happened. Like detention.
Was the demon secretary really that troubling to the pair of legs' upper half? It seemed to warrant further observation. Legs tried as inconspicuously as possible to stroll up to a group of students loitering about. Hopefully, the two faculty members would be too preoccupied with each other and keep their line of sight above the waist.
So to speak.

Now, THAT is what Bea liked to hear. She giggled a little before straightening out her face and leaned towards Shehk, still whispering, "Juicy gossip, you say? Sounds good to me..." Bea grabbed a lock of her hair and wanted to make small talk to be nonchalant. Problem was, she wasn't quite sure how to be sneaky... She's glance over to the professors, unsure who they were or the relationship between each other. Judging by how Shehk was playing innocent, Bea just copied what she was doing. "So, who are they anyway?" she said softly, making sweet faces and continued to walk along side her.

"Ah, there we go. ...Well, hold on a moment," Barth said. "Don't go off so quickly. And turn the sound up just a shade. They might be talking about the Election-" He cringed, the word results interrupted by a mental assault.
He looked up to Riley, then back at the feed.
"We're conducting an experiment," he said civilly.

"Anyway, think we cou--"
Pausing, Jericho glanced as Riley had peeked into the Mad science room, asking what was with all the secrecy. Raising an eyebrow, he peeked in after her, noticing Barth and Christof sitting there with some controllers in their hand. It actually did look like they were playing a game.. only he didn't recognize the controllers they used.
"An experiment?" the dragon repeated while looking at the feed, "... You have a camera set up somewhere?"

Shehk laughed, as though Bea had said something interesting - though technically the inquiry in general was very interesting; "Well, the one in blue is Arel - he's Hellma's bi-...the school secretary. The one in red is.....Professor Red.." she felt really redundant for a moment. "She's amazing. Werewolf, Gym teacher.. chased us around the gym as a giant wolf a year ago. Was awesome.
Would take the class again."
Even if she'd been chased around by a wolf bigger than she was. Alas. However, Shehk nearly jumped when another voice crept into her ear, looking over her shoulder with a wide-eyed look on her face just to see a not-very-familiar-but-still-somewhat-familiar hellhound behind her, elbowing the boil lightly, a grin on her face. "Hey you. I don't know if they are or not." she said, before she held up a finger knowingly, continuing to talk.
"Now, the gossip says that Arel and Cricket had a thing going on.. y'know, the school nurse..and the three of them have student history together of some sort too?" Shehk grinned. "I haven't looked into it, but oooohhh... might be interesting."
she paused.
"Might be nothing."
She made another face before whispering; "Don't get caught. You might end up in the other bathroom." she shuddered at the memory of it.

Before he could actually figure out where he and Natalia stood, Ren felt a familiar warm hand slide around his arm, followed by an equally familiar voice.
"Hi, baby," he whispered, ducking down to kiss LW's cheek before motioning towards the two professors ahead of him. "We're following these two - they're acting suspicious."
Now that he looked around, Ren could see very clearly that there were equally suspicious students all milling about, looking almost unnaturally innocent. Calder and Danny, Bea, Lizzy and Xiu, Mot, Mandy, Barth's running partner in the student council elections...
And, of course, he and Natalia LW. Not to mention Ren had the sneaking idea that there were probably more around.
"Come on," he said quietly to the two ghouls beside him, taking LW by the hand and following along casually with the rest of the students. "Just act normal."
...well, as normal as one could be when eavesdropping.

Mistress! We were just- his mind scrambled for an excuse once it had settled down from the jolt of fright the mental barrage had sent, the Sloombot out in the hallway jerking as he flinched. He quickly steered it back to where Barth directed, though, brows furrowing. The Election? Well maybe there was a chance but he had- well... alright. He wasn't about to go snooping while Mistress was right there. Flushing, his mind regathered itself as he pretended to be deeply absorbed by the series of controllers and panels and wires covering the bench in front of them. Er. Yes. Experiment. I thought- I thought it might be er... interesting to... to... what would happen if... ah... he glanced to Barth, still blushing, if it would work. Cameras I mean. For... spy- no, look- no, er... reconnaissance? He thought, hoping she would buy it.

An experiment? Her thought echoed Jericho's question, and her eyes raked across the controls, looking first at Barth's, then at Christof's, setup. She paused, and then exhaled slowly.
I love experiments. She sounded just a touch more interested than usual, but still trying to hide it. Still, they were using electronics to spy on people.
On faculty.
On Red.
Riley plopped down between the two of them, her eyes widening in rapture. Can I watch?

Damien let out a snicker after the light elbow prodding for position and flicks his ear in amusement at the ghoul. "Well for the sake of argument, let's say they are." he grinned out with a devious chuckle.
The ghoul was indeed very good at keeping quiet while she filled the hound in with all the juicy meaty bits of delicious gossip, because really what was important in school or anywhere social?
Grades? Homework? No it was gossip.
he gave a level eye over the ghouls head at the duo. "So red and this Arel dude huh?" he mused out softly, already familiar with the brash instructor of gym. "I wonder if she'll act timid around him, that would be a laugh eh?" he managed to say without busting out in a belly laugh. before turning around to both of the ghouls he trailed behind.
"Right, silent and sneaky, got it!" he whispered back and gave a salute with his boots that rested on his shoulder.

"Oh, it's alright with me," he said, with no idea that Christof had mentioned anything close to either spying or Reconnaissance. He adjusted the focus of the Slowbot's camera, slightly.
"We were just testing some spare equipment."
