When it came to human death, Shehk wasn't very knowledgeable about it either. Probably something to do research into in the next year, as far as she was concerned. If other students wanted dead Hunters, it would be worth her while to figure out how exactly once pulled those strings. Hmmm.
"Well, yeah. I consider hunter eradication more like pest control than homocide or genocide. They cause all sorts of problems." she frowned lightly. "Problems for individuals, but they're also going to end up contaminating the FEAR pool someday if they keep up. That'll spell doom for a lot of us."

Jericho nodded at what she said. The hunters were definitely an issue for all of Halloween.
"Yeah, no kidding. I mean, I get that dead humans mean no FEAR generation, but I don't think we'll be getting much from the hunters anyway. They're better off gone."
He let out a huff at the thought.

She smiled.
"Exactly. While I'm not exactly a fan of the 'If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem' line of thinking, they're.....part of the problem and definitely not part of the solution." The pricolici's ears twitched before she continued with a further thought:
"I mean, they'll cut down an infested tree to save the forest, right? Same principle, I'd say."

Shehk was certainly on the same page as he was.
"Yeah, something like that. That particular group of humans are nothing but trouble," Jericho said before spotting one more loose piece of paper on the ground. He quickly scooped it up and offered it to the pricolici.
"I do wonder if we have to kill them all or if we can just cut the heads off."

"It isn't like we're out there trying to kill every human we - thank you - see." Shehk took the offered piece of paper and set it on the desk next to her, "Where as they seem to act like that is our very purpose. Which of course is ridiculous - If it was, we've have done it already."
Well, she would have anyways with her bloodlust for them. The comment about beheading earned a small kneejerk from Shehk - she wasn't sure why that was herself, even - as she scratched at the stapling on her face, mulling the thought over in her head.
"Do you mean if we killed the bigger players like Caelius and H?" she asked. "I dunno. Humans seem resilient, but at the same time, they also seem like they might fall apart without those key players to keep them organized."

Jericho let out a huff, nodding to Shehk. They had been going on about acting as if they were all criminals. Yes, they scared them, but generally they were not to induce any actual physical harm onto the humans. It was a little overblown in his opinion.
"Yes. Those two and any other leaders they might have. We don't know how many they have, so it might be easier to try and get rid of them. If that doesn't work, then kill them all."

Why are you doing this?
Because you exist
It was cruel in Shehk's opinion. Being scary wasn't very nice either, but never the less they weren't doing any harm, right? It was hard to try and understand a human when you were not a human. Maybe she didn't want to understand them - to sympathize with them. Not so deep down, she hated them all.
But mostly that man with the scythe and his damn delicious scent.
"That's why you and Riley are gonna get better. You two are strong - a lot stronger than most of the students here are. The adults have no reason to help us either. It's gonna take you two to pull something like that off."

Jericho hadn't been there when Red fell, nor had he heard the hunters' biting comments as they left that place. So he had even less of an easy time understanding what the issue with these people were. All he really knew was that they wanted to wipe them all out. If Halloween was to survive, they were going to have to do that first.
"And we all still have so much growing to do," he sighed. Shehk had stock in his strength, but they couldn't stop here in terms of their power levels.
"We'll need more than just the two of us too. It's going to take a lot more than just us to take them down."

He was right. They were young, and two wasn't nearly an army.
"Based on just who went to listen to the Horsemen's assembly, I would imagine there are a lot of us eager to help. But like the Hunters, we need a strong head, and I know who I'd look to in such an instance." she sighed.
"And I feel like a lot more could happen that way. There are a lot of us who want to help, but we don't know what to do...... I want to help and I don't know what I can do besides the little things I already try to do."

"Even I don't really know what to do. Aside from trying to get stronger. But that's a given," he sighed. It frustrated him. While Halloween probably outnumbered the Hunters as a whole, the amount that could fight them was considerably less. He didn't know which side had the greater numbers in that case. That aside, the hunters themselves had proved to be strong opponents, especially their leaders.
"We'll find some way to defeat them... some day."

Stronger was a bit of a given, but strong in... what way?
"I guess all we can do right now is keep everybody," that we can ", alive. See what information we can gather as a group." he was a part of SEEDs, he knew what information was being gathered without her saying much more than that. Somehow it felt taboo to actually mention or imply the existence of the little group out loud. As if saying it would suddenly make it all collapse.
She sighed as well, but it felt good to be getting some of this out into the air and out of her head. "You're right. We'll find the solution somehow. I just wish it wasn't so...far off."

Nodding grimly, Jericho looked around once more to make sure everything had been picked up. It looked like they had managed to clean the area pretty well. Unless some stuff had managed to sneak under the bed. He hadn't checked under there.
"Yeah... same," he said before turning towards the door.
"I should head on back," he added. He could feel the paranoia begin to work it's way out again. Too much hunter talk tended to do that.

"Only if you want to. I mean.....I enjoy your company, even if it kicks my door in and will probably leave me with a bruise later." she teased as she stood up. After all, she was sure it would take more than that door to bruise her.
However, she wasn't going to keep him there. There was probably other things he could be doing, and she'd need to spend an hour coaxing Hati out from underneath her bed to try and calm the wolf. Poor thing and her fragile nerves would probably be glued to Skoll even after that.

Jericho chuckled nervously before scratching his head. Well, that was good to hear at least, but he still felt that he shouldn't linger for too long. He was starting to get a little on edge again and he figured it might be a good idea if he were at least outside before things snapped.
"Unfortunately, being in my company lately is a bit more of a fire hazard than usual," he said, "But.. I'll try to make it up to you some time in the future."

"Just a little trigger happy." she made an inch long space between her index finger and her thumb in example, laughing a bit before she scratched at the stapling beneath her ear in a nervous habit.
"But...yeah. Some other time would be great." Shehk smiled, "Like um...maybe...." she fidgetted. "Nevermind. Just some other time when you're feeling a bit more up for it."
