Welcome to Gaia! ::

Angenora noticed as more horseman began to appear on the school ground. She felt a bit ditzy as Invivtus had appeared. She bowed lightly in honor of the Conquest's Heir had graced them with his presence. "Your Highness!" She said aloud as she waited until it was right to look back up towards the heir. "I'm more than willing to help! I'm Angenora Jewels. Angenora or Jewels is just fine." She said to Mahir with a toothy smile. She just loved to help a broken down clan go back to it's glory days.

She noticed that more students began to show up as well. She saw the Cerberus and waved lightly to the boil. "Hello there!" She said with a light giggle.

"Oh." Thackery's ears drooped a bit. "I didn't mean it like that. And--wait hey, playing pretend?" He bristled in brief frustration, favoring the other conversation...if only for the sake of diverting the attention away from his apparent lack of kingly credentials.

And it wasn't as if this was a boring chat on its own: something about research! He'd enjoyed scientific studies the past few times he'd had to do it, but didn't quite make the connection that the more pleasant parts of those experiences came from a) the company of Ash and b) said companion's willingness to do his research for him.

"Yeah, interesting, he repeated, sounding pleased with himself. "I can help with whatever! Just send me a..." His eyes narrowed. He hadn't seen any skelephones used by the horsemen. "...let...ter? To the demon dorms." He offered an uneasy smile. Maybe he was making sense.

As the rhythm began, he couldn't help swaying cheerfully to the beat, tail wagging at their impromptu little concert. There was not even a moment of hesitation as one of the others reached for his hand to dance; he gave a small, polite bow to his partner, and, laughing, danced with her to the crescendo of sound.

"This is fun! Can I live with you guys instead?" Nothing was going to stop him in the middle of his dance party, but he did manage a wave in response. "Hiii, did you come to dance too?"


[ahhh sorry for such a sub-par post, I just didn't want to hold you guys up any longer while I waited for my brain to be sensible again ffff <33]

It was a little strange now, how Invictus was now taller than him when not too long ago, he had been the shorter one. He had received a rather quick growth spurt after Caelius had struck him, to put it lightly. It didn't bother him, but it felt slightly jarring due to it being a sudden change rather than a gradual one.

"Understandably so," Shun nodded quietly. Secrets. People had them. As it was, he was in a similar thing with Seeds. There were things from there that was not public knowledge and all. If someone were to pry, he probably would have acted in a similar way that Invictus did when he was trying to find answers regarding one thing or another.

That said, his gaze went back towards the others around, watching them as they sifted through the trash. He then glanced towards the ground, moving something aside with his foot to see what was there.

It was probably a bit more jarring of a sudden change for Invictus, given the circumstances they had risen from. It was hard to not be thrown off a bit by a scythe that was literally chest-deep.

"It is hard to balance your loyalties when they begin to conflict with one another as well." he noted, as if knowing Shun would understand that particular strife. Though perhaps not as on large of a scale as Invictus had come to understand it. The entirety of the last year had been a bit of a learning experience for him, after all.

Still, the gravity field he had created to help move things was starting to get quite the interesting little stash of things, Invictus looking at a thrown-out metal desk before passing a look to Shun. Unreadable, yet it was obvious that he was thinking '... Really?'

Oh, he wouldn't complain about being able to dredge up some nice things to take home, especially when he found another wooden door - good material. He was very much sure with how resourceful the Famine Horsemen were, they'd find a very practical use for all of these things. It was strange to think that his own people would be using their talents when they were used to a lot more structure.

"We would hope not. We will say now that I have no plans for that to happen." he added. Which with his given position said that the Protectors of the clan would at least be 1/4th against battling Halloween. Especially given how much hospitality they'd been given after the destruction of their home.

Still, it was strange to think someone was just...tossing desks and doors out like this. They almost seemed planted in some way.

What Shun didn't know was that the Horsemen had technically done that damage by their own action. If they hadn't been so predictable it wouldn't have ended as badly - and by extension, Invictus felt a need to plan some sort of counter attack. It would take a lot of effort for him to not ponder anything outside of the destruction of the hunters.

But years of otherwise did have some conditioning to break.

"Should the hunters move in Halloween again, may we make a small request? Only inform one of the Protectors. We believe that my people have enough on their plate to handle than needing to react to them while they are trying to make a home for themselves."

It was strange to realize he would now he entrusting that sort of request onto Shun now, rather than the Lady Mindflayer. Certainly he could have asked Hel, but he somehow felt Shun's level head was better for such things.

Even if he did get some amusement out of the ever expanding gravity field

"As it stands," Invictus explained, "the clans do not have as wide of an information web as we spun while we were at Amityville. We will not be learning of things happening as quickly here as we did while we were living at the school, and as such we would like to find ways to stay involved between the two as much as possible."

Especially on the front of hunters. It was kind of a selfish request, really, but it was what he had to do to try and keep it so that the clan could adapt to a new level of threats. Especially when so many of them were likely to become aggravated with word of the humans who had destroyed their homes.

He wouldn't stop them from going if they had to, but he would have preferred to leave that sort of burden off of their shoulders.

"It seems like there is quite a bounty of things to find." Invictus noted out loud as he added another item to his little solar-system of house. "Fortunate for us, at least."
