Mitsu eyes flickered around briefly at the students that had gathered, though Shun immediately took a step in front of her. That action alone had her on edge...he was being protecting.
It almost made Mitsu jump when she heard Pepin's voice, her eyes searching for the ghoul though it took a moment since she kept moving. It was harder to pick up on Pepin's movements, Mitsu came to find out, she was so quiet. "Hey, Pepin."

Xander had pretty much just been wandering around aimlessly, bored and with nothing better to do with his time, exploring the halls of the Academy. The place was now his home for as long as he stayed there, and he wanted to know his way around it.
As he made his way slowly around, he noticed other students passing him, and heading towards the gym. Many were entering through the doors, some entering in groups, and some going in alone.
Well, obviously something was going on. Maybe it was some type of student club that was meeting? The instinct to follow the group overcame him, and he changed course, following others that were going in the same direction as students before them. His skeletal toe scraped along the floor with every step that he moved forward. He followed them as they made their way to a hallway just off of the gym. Oh hey...isn't that where the co-ed washroom is? He thought to himself, before stopping where the group of students was gathered.
Most of the students he could immediately see just looked very confused. Xander looked to where most of them were staring and saw a figure in a red cloak, who had just finished saying something, but Xander had missed it. Having a good quick look around he only really recognized a couple of the others in the room. In the end, zombie called to zombie and he made his way over towards the undead boil, Mort, and the others standing around him.
"Hey.." He hissed, "What's going on? This some kinda weird club or something?"

Hearing a voice address him, Jericho turned around to see Israfel there, flying towards him. He couldn't help but smile to see the siren flying. There was a bit of pride that swelled up in him whenever he saw him do that.
"Nice flying," he said before hesitantly nodding. His gaze went over towards the cloaked one for the moment, "That was what I came here for but... I don't know if now is a good time. I'll gladly take you up on that later on though."
The guy in the cloak was making him a bit uneasy, due to how anonymous they were. That, and that thing he had said was a little.. ominous in a way. It sounded like he knew something about Red. That sort of made all of this a little more serious.
----
Shun glanced over towards Pepin and nodded.
"It's familiar. I can't quite pinpoint it right now though. I've a bad feeling about this, however," he murmured lowly. He was wondering if they should leave.

Willow had been on her way to see if she could catch Eris alone when she noticed the group of students, it was a bit large however the tigress was wondering what they were doing standing in the doorway of the gym. "Uh...."
She tried to see and stopped when she saw the red cloak. "Isn't this taking things a bit extreme?" She questioned. "I mean in the school really?" She wondered if the ghoul under the cloak actually wanted to get in trouble hanging around the school dressed like that. Her ears were down and see seemed a little wary that they might attract... unwanted attention.

Vaith strolled out around the gym, where the horsemen meeting had taken place days earlier, with a yawn, his hand raised partially over his open mouth as a familiar color of Red flashed in his vision. At first, his heart nearly stopped for a beat .. until he realized that time did not rewind itself so conveniently.
But why was he wearing red again?
Perhaps the mysterious figure just really liked apples. Or that human red riding hood story .. Something about a hood. Vaith wasn't sure. Maybe she had matchsticks or something? He wasn't entirely sure at all. Students were gathering around and quite frankly, Vaith had so little to do with his time at the moment, it was nearly pathetic.
And Vaith was pathetic enough to sit against a wall, his eyes closed for a brief catnapping posture but ears awake to listen to all the conversation and sounds around him. Huh. Not the most interesting-- but what did count as interesting in Amytiville? If it wasn't interesting, at least it didn't mean bad news.

Roch had gotten distracted. But seriously, was that any surprise? He was almost out the door when he noticed the jackin' group of people gathering where Danny had wandered off to. He'd just wanted to go back to his dorm and relax or something, maybe hit the streets later-- Jackdammit, did things NEVER STOP around here? He hesitated, seriously tired of the jackin' drama, then reluctantly turned, heading for the back of the crowd. He couldn't see the fire demon, and he didn't hear her question. But even if he had, he wouldn't have been able to answer. He had no clue.

Familiar voice but bad news? Mort gulped and grimaced. What now, he wondered. Was their rebellion going to get put to a stop? But they weren't doing anything wrong technically . . . Still, Mort made sure Mitsu was also part of his little barrier, shifting a tad behind her until he could find a suitable window behind the four upperclass men to still see the red-cloaked figure.
It would have been five but, well, Sparrow was off to the side and ahead and therefore a moot point to try and go behind.
"H-Hey, Dance Ghoul," Mort greeted Pepin (failing to have a name), "Xander. N-Not club, long story. But red-cloak is strange. B-Bad news." AS Shun had put it.

Chuppi neatly dug her claws into Mort's body as she continued to move and stay hidden behind him, the increasing number of students a bit...much. Were they all here because they wanted to know the truth as well or was it something else that had caused them all to come? Either way she knew a good deal of them - perhaps that was why she was trying to stay hidden.
"Are they...are they going to tell us the truth about Professor Red? Mort?" Chuppi didn't even acknowledge the other zombie who had approached, it was rude but sort of needed. Mostly because she couldn't see him, though, nor did she greet any of the others who were speaking. If Mort said the red cloak was bad, she was going to believe him.

Poor West. Savior still remembered him and, thanks to him having her emblem, he smelled just like her and was far enough away from the undead for Savior to decide he needed to presence. Now. "Wesssst." Without any further warning the Marrowstripe decended upon the boil, her arms wrapping around him from behind in a orangey hug. "Misses youse."
'Misses' was a new word and was still used incorrectly, but hopefully she'd gotten her point across.

Shehk's tail pricked up just a bit when the figure in red spoke, her tail flicking back and forth, the faintest trail of light following after the tip of it. Secrets about unfortunate incidents, hmmm? That was...tempting, but still there was something unsettling about someone who would walk around wearing Red in this school with all of the scandal going on.
Then again, maybe she was just on edge lately, as though there was someone who would be able to read the conspiracies she was working up in her mind at that moment. She really did hope people couldn't mind read, or else she was in for a world of hurt, but she didn't say anything, just folding her arms across her chest and aiming to look..authoritive, if nothing else.
"Yeah? Alright, you've got my ears then." she said after a long moment, and she wasn't the only one who's attention was gained...another being in the hall was listening in, though they didn't really make themself known to the general populace of the gathering going on.

Shhh.
The sound filtered through minds, hissing it's request for silence, as Riley pushed through the crowd and made her way to the figure. She folded her arms steadily in front of her chest, and spoke her piece to the figure in red without any delay.
State your intent quickly. We don't have time for a run around.
She hated that this figure was forming a crowd. She hated that so many students were milling about in one spot, so easily targetable. She wanted this figure in red to speak it's piece and leave, as quickly as possible - the group looked like a sitting target in her mind.
Lambs, waiting for the slaughter.

Ash had heard of some strange things over the last few days. He could not see much-- but he could hear. Murmurs of things strange-- he wasn't the most observant kid, so he really didn't know who this "Red" was. Or...what happened at all, actually. So, he was wandering. Or, well. Shambling, would be the more apt term. Or creeping. Like so: (f ▲)f Sliding closer to Thackery, he wrapped a big hand around the boy's arm. "I'm...confused. Who is this Red the others speak of?" He was, to say the least...out of the loop. He had been for quite a while now-- sort of wandering from class to class without a purpose, without any sense of direction. Even though he wasn't allowed to wear his helm to class-- he sort of saw without seeing. It was like some sort of haze he just couldn't shake. The kid probably needed to see a doc or something, but he was stubborn, ignorant, and had his dignity, thank you very much.

There was totally a crowd forming. Did she miss an invite to a party or something? Never one to miss crashing a good party, Freya snuck over, looking for familiar faces as quickly as possible. The easiest to spot was Roch (he was so unique looking!) and she snuck up behind him, trying to look over his shoulder while hiding behind his back. As she did so, she caught sight of Mort nearby, and tiptoed like a sneaky sneak over to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and grinning like a cheshire cat.
"Caughtchoo!" She whispered, eyes wide as she put her finger to her lips. "What's goings on around here? So many peoples-" Oh, the red figure. Who was that? Everyone was staring at it..

Danny's eyes flitted behind her, towards the place where she thought Roch had been standing the entire time. Guess what? Turns out he hadn't been there at all. Or maybe he had just disappeared part way through. He had a habit of doing that. "Rooooooch," she whined.
Still, Danny wasn't embarassed, nor did she think it awkward. Instead, she spent her time moving around, trying to get a better view. A small crowd had formed and was totally invading her spot in the front.
That is, she was looking until she spotted Mort. She was about to wave and go talk to him when the blonde ghoul from the Haunted House pounced on him for a hug. Freya, right? Well since he was obviously preoccupied, Danny would just assume her spot in the front.
Shehk had begun trying to converse with the figure. Just who was this person?

And then Riley arrived. Bul snorted when she hushed the group but remained near Jericho tapping his foot. Not like he had much to say intelligently to the figure but he figured nobody was going to silent themselves either. It was making him anxious awaiting further information from the cloaked one but as soon as enough of an audience was around surely it'd continue.
Quietly he sinked back into a squat. It didn't really matter if he could see or not he was getting tired standing on those scabby legs.
--
In an attempt to avoid disturbing the couple before her Pepin avoided leaning on either Shun or Mitsu by reclining in midair on a fake chair, her legs kicking to and fro child-like. She did however give a wave to Mort.
"Hello there," she replied with a smirk.

Zar glanced over to the figure briefly as they.. he spoke. He didn't know why but he found them incredibly sinister, an impression that seemed to be shared by the crowd to varying degrees. Most people he'd met so far hadn't simply stood ignorant. An unfortunate incident. He had no idea what was meant.
Still, he kept his peripheral vision on them.
