(( Entering from Hub ))
One second there was an empty space between LW and Mei. The next, there was a rather curiously positioned zombie between them. Certainly he had his fists up as if ready for a fight, but his expression upon materializing was one of anxiety, worry. And, well, he was as sturdy looking as a stick. A thin, green-glowing-uniformed, undead stick.
It didn't help that upon arriving, Mortimer was bombarded with enough information to cause his brain to buzzzzzz audibly, like an old PreC that was downloading something at the slowest pace ever.
First off, the group of reapers (?) off to their far right. None of them he had seen at the beginning of the field trip, but apparently not a lot of the students seemed to like them. Second, the cloaked figure who had frozen them in place, commenting on something about arrangements. Third, the mention of people being taken - he only recognized Freya's name, as they had talked a little on Groanspring before the trip, but . . . Wait. Someone had taken them? The reapers? The cloaked one?
Fourth, Mei had a boilfriend. This was news.
Fifth, said boilfriend was explaining these reapers were "hunters". "Humans". "Armed, malevolent, and bitter". The zombie's eyes widened as a mixture of different emotions went through him. He had been a human once, his mother had told him, and it was only through a friend's IOU did she find him and bring him to Halloween Town. Could he have been this terrible in a former life . . . ?
Too much information, not enough time to process it. Mort's bewildered face towards his teammates said it all.

Okay. So..They were not reapers, they were hunters? And human even? Not only that, but they had taken some of the students? Well--that explained the insults and such dislike for them, but..why did they take them? What did they want with them? Ugh..humans..
As soon as she was able to move, she stretched out her limbs, thankful to be moving again. Never again, did she want to be stuck like that. "Thank Jack..I can move.." Brushing her hair from her face, she glanced about the room, and watched as her fellow classmates filed through the door. "Okay, I can do this." With that, the doll exited.

[[Entering from Horseman Hub...]]
As things came to a still, another figure stepped into the room, pacing himself without much trouble. Conquest walked with as much purpose and stance as he usually did. However, it seemed that even the Horsemen was put off by the appearance of the hunters when he entered, his mood seeming to foul up ever so slightly. For a moment, one hand held out in front of him - he was going to attack without a word.
But it seemed even he was to be a victim of the phantom of time, frowning in disapproval as his line of thought was interrupted. Only when he was relinquished again did the Horseman move again. They were to be herded, mm? He didn't like that at all. Instead he seethed as he walked towards the door they were being asked to exit.
Good luck? He did not need good luck. He would simply walk on his own and see what came of it.
Yes, he'd see what came of it indeed.
[[Invictus is going to go mess with some people!]]
Cass crinkled her nose at all the quips from the abominable creatures about smell and stink. Peh. They were all disgusting..though she probably did need a shower when they got home, so that much was attributable to just working too hard.
Like these things knew anything about that, though.
It seemed after some time, however, they were relinquished to be herded on.
"Looks like it's time to bring this on." Cass grinned, also heading towards the door as well, her hands on her chain belt. She'd just whip that thing out the second she got outside.
[[Cass is heading outside as well!]]
