Before Amrita could leap to her own defence on the subject she was being pulled away...and apparently pulled into a fight. Not that she was of any use, but she did manage to feel her heel go through something.

So Lizzy shoved it, since it was being so insistent on bothering her.
"I think the universe clearly does not want us to go there," She sighed, dusting her (Mac's?) shirt off before looking around and then pointing at a rather huge rock, "Let's wait there instead?" And by wait she meant hide, clearly.
a) Hide behind the rock out of sight to wait for the two unfamiliar Halloweeners to leave

"Hoooo..."
The creature didn't get a chance to finish its words as it dissipated into nothingness.

Amrita only had enough time to grab Christof's arm and give Calder - not Barth, because he looked like he wasn't going to be needing it - a motion for silence and a point to the rock before Lizzy drew them down into safety.
Day 2 CYOA DAY 2:
**IF YOU CHOOSE OPTION A: YOUR THREAD IS STILL MARKED OPEN**
a) Hide behind the rock out of sight to wait for the two unfamiliar Halloweeners to leave The sound of the footsteps stop. There is a pause. "Did you hear something?" Another moment of tense silence. "Nothing, we should keep on going, I still have another two mission reports to fill out, and I'd rather do it when you know, the sun is still up." "I hate b***h sentry duty." The other reaffirmed after a second, a voice that looked really disjointed with the size and shape of the body. "There's nothing here anyway, not even a sign of a freaking-" air quotes "- survivor group. What are the higher ups planning anyway?" The first didn't say anything in response to the question. "Let's move on. They said they spotted sightings at around 25°22"N, 72°32'33"W." A pause. "That's the remains of the old city hall, genius. Let's get a move on." Thankfully, a few seconds later, the footsteps retreated. The students had avoided disaster, it seemed, and interestingly enough, gained some valuable information. The question was, was it really information or a trap? As they take a better look at the landscape, dull, and bleak, they would notice something fluttering in the wind, pinned to the back of the tree. A notice: " THIS SECTOR HAS BEEN CLAIMED AND IS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DEUS EX MACHINA AS OF 12/31/1999." There was also a path extending around the tree, the only path that seemed even remotely used, though the fog was making it hard, if not impossible to see which direction it extended. It looked like if the students wanted to get out of here alive, or at least figure out what was going on, they would need to choose a path. a) Follow the direction of the ??? figures as they walked off, which goes directly to where The Town Hall would be. c) Question the remaining status of Amityville and head towards where their homes would have been, not the dorms, but their actual relative homes in The Town Heightsc) The students are at the edge of where they had seen Horsemen leave that one time, perhaps they should check out the remains of the Weeping Forest instead?
When it felt safe, Amrita was one of the first to move from the hiding place, keeping her body low while managing to crawl on her toes and fingertips just in case she needed to get up quickly. When she heard the fluttering paper she almost ignored it, but curiousity got the best of her and she snuck towards it, smoothing it out to read it easier.
"What does this mean?" She asked her group quietly, pointing to 12/31/1999.

Calder had dragged Barth with him until he was hiding behind a rock, quiet and ears up as he watched the figures. They didn't care about the drill or seem to flinch as it continued to tear up Halloween, and their speech was strange. Peculiar. Suspicious. He didn't like it. What was this about missions, about survivors, and higher ups. The mention of the old city all- the remains??!!! What happened to City Hall?!
When all seemed clear, Calder gathered Barth in his arms and carried him. "I don't like this." He whispered. "They didn't even care about the drill, and they are talking about remains of City Hall? What happened to City Hall?" He watched where the figures went.
"I think we should get away from here before more of those guys or the fog things show up. Jack! I'm so tired of all of this. These attacks. The fog....THINGS! Always asking us about going home? IF I knew where home even jackin was, I wouldn't be standing here in nothing but a shirt. Who even knows if we're still in the trials anymore? None of this makes sense, but so help me, if the horsemen are still playing around with us, I'm punching someone. I'm TIRED of this! All of it!" Why couldn't ANYTHING be easy for them? THEY WERE JACKING STUDENTS?!! What the HELL were he adults even doing anymore?!
Huffing and frustrated and wanting to just kill something (maybe he was still a tad grumpy from waking up early or maybe he was being stretched too thin these days), Calder looked to Amrita. She was reading something on a tree, and walking over, he read over her shoulder. "DEUS EX MACHINA? What is even that?" He looked around but knew that no one else would know. He did notice the path.
"We should take cover. It's too open here. We should hide in the woods and see what we should do next. Maybe we can find some help in town or something? We seem to be trespassing either way."

Christof huddled behind the rock, peering out a bit to watch the figures wander off, his brows furrowed in a scowl. "Should-follow," He signed back to his cohorts. "Find-out-what-they-are. Stay-discrete." Lurking and hovering in the shadows was something Igors did well. It might have been a dangerous move but it was all... surreal. "Could-find-more-danger-in-forest." He added to Calder pointedly. "More-shadow-fog-creatures. Could-be-bad." It might also be bad if they were spotted following the mysterious figures but how else could they find answers when no one else seemed to be around?
Pursing his lips, he glanced to Amrita, a growing look of concern on his face. "What-ever-you-all-think-is-most-safe," his hands were timid as he added this. He didn't want any of his friends in danger... even Lizzy.

"I don't know... And Deus Ex Machina?" She frowned, peering at the paper that Amrita and Calder were looking at, "Right, right... We need more information... I pick the woods. I mean, when the school was... Around-" She sighed a bit at this, looking worried, "All the weird things seem to happen there, and since the city hall is apparently 'abandoned' and what not, it might not be a good idea to follow those people there...?"

"Calder!" Amrita hissed out as the Kelpie rampaged, pressing her index finger to her lips while her eyes darted towards where the figures had disappeared. She was frustrated too, she really was; but at the same time, she didn't want them hearing them and coming back! That would be a disaster, and they were already at somewhat of a disadvantage, what with those drills around and things attacking them.
"I don't know." It was a rather ambiguous response, considering it could have been to anything that was said after Calder's comment on Deus Ex Machina. The term did sound familiar, though...very, very familiar. Movement out of the corner of her eye told her that Christof had something to say, and she obediantly turned her attention towards him, reading his gestures and thoughtfully mulling them over.
"Christof thinks we should follow them. Quietly." She informed Lizzy more than Calder. "There might be those shadow-things in the forest..." Her gaze moved towards it, unsure of what to do. "But whatever we think is safe, he says." With the translating done, she leveled her gaze on Christof, considering his suggestion and then looking down at her heels to ponder them both.
To her there was no option B; she didn't consider going to check if her home was still around. In her mind, it was either follow the figures or potentially get lost in the woods.
"They said...they said sentry duty, r-right? Maybe...it's just the two of them? We...we could take two of them, I think..." Sadly, she didn't sound convincing...or even convinced she was right.

The gravity of the situation hadn't quite reached Barth, who come hell, high water, or the apocalypse, very simply did not do mornings.
The longer they lingered in one place, though, they gained their own cover in the form of some very slowly-growing thorny shrubbery.

"You can understand him- Wait," She stopped, looking at Amrita and then Calder and then the sleeping Barth, "Wait wait wait. All of you understand him, don't you?" She pulsed her lips before sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose, "N-nevermind, that's not important right now... Alright, if the figures are hostile and somehow hunters - since I can't think of anyone who might want to destroy us, it would mean that this 'Deus Ex Machina' must somehow connect back to them - I don't think we should... Follow them. Just in case, even if it's just the two of them... They could have nets or have set a trap. It's the same in the woods, we'll have to be careful."

Christof's face flushed at Lizzy's frustration. He rubbed the back of his neck, watching the figures wandering off. Maybe... there was no harm in taking a look in the woods. There could be some sort of danger there but... honestly... he looked around. Everything seemed dangerous. He gave a shrug. He would go wherever they all went. With a sigh, he reached to haul Barth up onto his hunch to carry him. If they went into the forest, he'd trust Calder to lead the way. It was much more his element than the Igor's.

Something seems to have separated from the mass of fog, staring hungrily in your direction. It tries to talk, but instead, hisses lowly, though you can make out a single word as it speaks.

"I'll send you home right now," She muttered, giving the fog creature a shove on her way to the woods, determined not to stop, "Seriously, out of the way please! We have things to attend to! Places to go! Information to find out!"

"Um...yes." Amrita nodded, fidgeting with one of the old buttons on her borrowed shirt. She learned Sign Language for him - they all did. But now Lizzy could learn too, right?! The suggestion was on her lips, but not only did she have the decision to contend with, but it appears that the fog has it in for her friend!
Once more she can feel her heel connect with something, but it didn't seem like a hard hit; oh well. At least she was helping!
"I don't care where we go, so long as the fog doesn't go with us!" These creatures made her uncomfortable; it made her ponder her own mortality, which was a big deal for an Undead.

With Barth slung over his hunch, Christof spoke in a language hopefully Lizzy could understand- beating the s**t out of the thing attacking her with his free fists. It dissipated around him, and his nostrils flared. Where ever they were going to go, they needed to go soon, before those things attacked again. Damage: 4 HP: 40/40
