It was indeed too quiet. Shun frowned at this while looking around, not sure what to make of this. Nodding to Xiu as she suggested that they be on their guard, he called forth his daggers just in case once more. Not much time had gone by before a figure came rushing at him. Several figures stood behind them, and it looked like the one up front had a weapon of sorts.
Unfortunately, he found himself being unable to move now.
"Kuso.." he hissed before the mysterious figure began to speak. What were they talking about? Furrowing his brow, the Reaper glanced to those behind them, surprised to see his friends standing there. Even those in his group right now were back there. They... were behind him though.. right?
"Wait, what the hell did I take from you?" he asked, though the figure said that he knew full well.
Only he didn't. And right now? It seemed like he was stuck here in place.

At one point there had been no one no matter how Mitsu searched she didn't see or hear the sound of foot steps only the distant sound of laughter. Then all at once the fog came toward them covering them like a wave. It crashed around her clouding her vision of friends close by until it finally settled and began to reform into new shapes. They crawled into existence until the fog finally formed figures, people...
Mitsu wasn't allowed to focus on them for long, a figure stood in front of the rest a little too close for her comfort. She had no idea what he was speaking about. Stolen? What could she have taken? Her eyes dared to dart to the people behind him hoping to get further answers and her eyes only managed to widen. They weren't just people but students....friends. People she recognized. People that...had been standing with her a moment ago. They seemed annoyed with her or frightened. Why? What had happened? Even Shun, Shun was there but he glanced away as if avoiding her gaze at any cost.
There was so much Mitsu wanted to ask the figure before her, ask what she had stolen, maybe how she could return it or if she could at least stand with her friends. She didn't want to be by herself but she...found she couldn't move not even to turn her head to find out if this was an illusion or not. The only choice she had was to remain silent staring forward with frighten eyes before she closed them hoping this would all go away.

There was nothing scarier than being on the opposite side of your friends.
Truth to be told, Xiu wasn't entirely sure what had just happened. The fog had rushed towards them, and she had felt this strange sensation of falling when the figure suddenly appeared. Her first instinct had been to jump backwards or get into her usual defensive position, but she had found that her body suddenly refused to obey her. Instead, the baku was forced to stand there, facing forward and turned towards the mysterious figure.
It didn't help matters when she noticed just who the figures standing behind the first were. They were all familiar faces--Amityville students, some of whom she had known since enrolling in the school. Even while knowing that this was probably an illusion--after all, three of the figures standing in front of her were also standing beside her--it didn't help settle the uneasiness in her chest.
She could hardly even focus what it was that the first figure wanted. Something that they had...taken from them? "I swear to you, we didn't take anything from you! We don't even know what it is that you're searching for!"

Shun's gaze was transfixed on his friends behind the figure. Something wasn't quite right here. That was for certain. He fought for their sake, to try and keep Mitsu safe, and so on. But.. it was still strange to see things like this. He was more than certain she was behind him still. She had never walked passed and it wasn't as if she possessed the ability to shadowstep or anything like that.
Finally tearing his gaze from them, he looked back towards the figure, attempting to size them up. They had a way to pin him down. It was fairly obvious they were powerful. Potentially out of his league. Not to mention that he had no way of knowing if those figures were capable of damaging as well. Attacking did not seem like a very sound plan.
He was thinking. There was no real way of telling what exactly it was that was 'taken', if anything. Perhaps he could find out more if he humored the figure.
"I don't exactly appreciate being blamed for something I hadn't done, but very well, I will return what was taken, if you would just tell me what the ******** it is."

The distant laughter was suddenly cut out by the rush of fog, and Poke spun around only to find she was separated in the others. Turning back, she watched the fog form into a imposing figure, followed by shadowy figures behind it. Upon closer inspection she realized she knew them. Wasn't that...Riyo? And there was Shun, and Mitsu, and Xiu too!
...wait a sec. Weren't they just behind her? This had to be some sort of trap.
Growling, she went to take a step but found her body was frozen in place. And the figure then demand her to return something she apparently stole.
"What the hell did I even take?!" Poke shouted angrily, but he just smiled, saying she knew very well. This did not help things.
"I HAVEN'T TAKEN ANYTHING YOU ******** b*****d! The dragon roared out her answer. It probably wasn't a good idea to antagonize the thing that had her frozen in place, but at the moment she didn't care. The figure had just shown up, froze her, demanded something off her, and even had the gall to not even tell her what the hell it was.

"Stubborn? No s**t sherlock" She responded, tensing when the weapon was raised. But instead of feeling pain, white fog surrounded her once more. She couldn't feel any injuries either. Had she gone unscathed? Something told her otherwise.
Soon enough, the white fog cleared itself, and now she could see the figure was lying face down. Or was it someone else? The shadowy people were gone, and this one had a large injury. How did they even get this injury?
"...Oy, hello?" She said. No response. "Hey, answer me, who the jack are you?!" Still nothing. With a sigh, she knelt down and clasped her hands to the wound to stop the bleeding. She could feel just how weak this guy was. Or ghoul, she didn't know. But if nothing was done soon, they would perish...
"...Well, I can't just do nothing..." Poke grumbled to herself, and tried to heal the figure by tearing at the clothing they wore with her teeth, then typing up the wound. "Can you stand up? I'll take you back to our base so you can get looked at." If not, she might have to carry him. or her, whichever.

There was still noise around her, voices and conversation but when Mitsu finally opened her eyes again the figure and her friends were gone. She could find that she could finally move her eyes scorning the thick fog for the others.
"S..Shun?" She took a step turning slightly. "Xiu?" Another step and she tripped on something sending her to the ground in a rush.
The air left her lungs when she landed and Mitsu struggled to push herself up her hands searching for whatever had tripped her. It hadn't felt like a simple object or a rock. It had been...soft.
What her hands eventually found was a body, weak and injured. She jerked back at first unsure but she couldn't tell who the figure was. Were they friend or foe? From the looks of things they were injured her hands finding their way to the deep wound and pressing against it trying to slow the bleeding. The only problem was it really didn't do much. She could feel the warm liquid of his life force seeping around her fingers and pooling around her knees. This person, whoever they were....was dying.
Normally death wasn't as big of a concern. Mitsu knew it was painful but as a Halloween student the came back. That fate as of late was a little uncertain though. Even if this person was an enemy could she risk facing an insanity creature if they died and came back as one? And what if they were a friend? Could she live with knowing she had let them die?
"H-Hold on." She stammered out, one hand pulling away to snatch one of the two pumpkin pills from her pocket and then searching for a mouth to push the pill into. Mitsu only hoped it would work.

The figure vanished the moment he had spoken. So much for trying to get them to tell him what the hell was missing. Twitching a little in irritation, he turned around to face the others. He only caught a glimpse of them before the area turned white completely.
"Mitsu?"
Furrowing his brow, he walked towards where he last saw her, noticing the route back towards the camp instead. No. He did not want to go back right now. Turning back and away, he ended up stumbling over something on the ground. Cursing lowly to himself, he realized that his hands were now covered in something warm, wet and sticky. There was someone here, though he couldn't quite tell who it was.
One thing was for certain though, they were bleeding pretty badly. The reaper tried to get a better idea of what was going on here, but it wasn't really much use. The most he could tell was that they were horridly wounded. They were dying slowly.
Grimacing, he removed his hands and called forth his daggers before swiftly finishing them off. There was no need to let them linger like that.
That done, he dismissed his daggers once more, then looked around. He did not like this place all too much. He needed to find Mitsu first and foremost. This person had been wounded for one reason or another, and he was aware there were hostiles around. He needed to reach her again.
"Guys? I know you're around. If you can hear me, give some sort of sign," he called out.

And then she could move again.
The change happened so suddenly that Xiu flinched, and she wasn't sure whether to feel relieved or worried that she was now surrounded with a thick white fog. On one hand, the figures seemed to have disappeared...but on the other, the baku was vaguely aware of a strange sensation in her body, as if something had changed after that last encounter.
Of course, there were more important things to focus on...like the fact that her hands were warm and sticky with blood, and that she could feel something pulsing beneath her palms. Who...who was this? She couldn't see them clearly enough to discern anything about them, but she could clearly feel the blood spill over her hands even as she tried to stall the bleeding.
Oh Jack. She didn't know who this was, but if she didn't do something...
Keeping one hand over the wound, Xiu scrabbled against dress in search of the pumpkin pills that she had tucked away, wiping away as much blood off on her dress as she could. The last thing she wanted was for the pill--as they were so very precious in this situation--to slip away during her search.
Finally, she pulled it out, promptly leaning forward to deposit the object in the figure's mouth. Shaking, she moved back so that she could press both hands against the wound again, just in case.
"Aniki! Mitsu! Poke! W-where are you guys?!"

Did he hear something? Shun paused as he tried to stop and listen. Peering through the heavy blanket of mist, he managed to pick out a figure perhaps. Slowly, he began to approach.
"Xiu, is that you?" he called out, sounding a little wary. There were potentially enemies nearby, so he didn't want to simply rush in just in case this was not who he thought they were.

A voice. Was that...Shun?
"Aniki! Aniki, where are you?! T-there's a person, and they're--!"
She cut herself off when she realized that, despite having giving up one of her pills, the figure was not getting any better. Her eyes widened as they reached up to grab her hand, leaning over them in a panic. "Wait! No no no, hang in there! I'll find you some help!" Why hadn't the pumpkin pill worked? Perhaps the figure would make it if she offered the second pill to him as well?
However, just as the baku began to look for the second pill, the rise and fall of the figure's chest suddenly stopped. She stared at the body, dumbfounded, before slowly letting her hands slip away from their wound, closing her eyes.
"...Sorry."
The apology was murmured, and then she began to push herself up to the feet, knowing that she had to keep moving despite what had just happened. As she began to straighten up, she realized that the body had disappeared, and that the pumpkin pill she had given them was simply lying on the ground. An illusion...? It certainly seemed like it now, didn't it?
Tucking the pill into a safe place, she began to look around again, brightening up slightly when she realized that she was no longer alone. "Aniki, Mitsu, Poke! And..."
...And who was that girl?

Yes, that was Xiu's voice. He was certain of it. Though, for some reason he felt on edge. Shun twitched, feeling his anxiety building up for one reason or another. No. Now wasn't the time for this. Closing his good eye for a moment, he took in a deep breath and focused in on himself. Sort of unknowingly, he had also been concentrating his fear and purging himself as he cleared his mind.
A moment later, the strange anxiety was gone. Oh, and he was able to see the others once more.
"There you are..." he said quietly while nodding to Xiu and making his way over towards Mitsu to check up on her.
"I'm not sure what happened just now but.."
He trailed off as he realized there was someone else here. A stranger. Not only that, but there was the sent of cookies in the air. While others might have enjoyed it... it actually put him off a little. Yes. The Reaper hadn't quite gotten over that one cookie incident just yet. There was also a counter here now as well, which had a few black smaller black masses. They kind of resembled minipets in a way...
Furrowing his brow, he slowly looked towards the girls, not entirely sure what to make of this.

Mitsu could hear the voices of those familiar. She wanted to call out but her voice merely squeaked when she tried. Her face scrunched in distress as she looked at the figure waiting for them to get better so that she could get up and find her friends but that never happened. In fact, they only managed to get worse.
Their breathing became labored and Mitsu started to pull back as a hand reached up and grabbed her wrist holding her in a semi firm hold as the figure whispered a thank you. Their hand fell away suddenly and their body grew still and Mitsu knew without a doubt they were done. But...why? Why hadn't the pumpkin pill worked? Were they faulty? And...why hadn't they dissipated?
Feeling a tad more distressed than before Mitsu poked at the person trying to rouse them. Maybe they had just passed out? It was a small and unreasonable hope to hold on to, even as she drew back her hands already stained in blood. Too much, there was just too much. She stared at the crimson that painted her palms, a sort of horror settling into her features as the blood ran from her hands down her arms. Why had she failed so miserably when it came to helping them? Wasn't first aid supposed to be what she was good at? Maybe she should have tried using her fear.
The guilt was pressing in around her a new and she watched in startled disbelief as the blood and the body suddenly vanished from sight. Wait...where.....had they finally dissipated? She looked around for a moment still shaken from the experience. Had it really just been an illusion?
Looking back toward the ground to find any evidence that there had been someone there she instead found the pumpkin pill she had just used. Carefully she reached out and picked it up off the ground and examined it slightly. It seemed to be intact, like it had never been used. So had it all been in her mind?
Now thoroughly confused Mitsu put the pumpkin pill in her pocket once more and turned toward Shun as he approached, looking passed him for a moment to check on Xiu, Poke and.....who was that?

's**t!" Poke swore as the blood continued to flow freely, no matter what she had tried. The makeshift bandaging she was using wasn't helping at all, and she was afraid to move him.
Him? She was beginning to make out details. Though the thing that had her attention was the fabric she was using. White. And sure enough, she could see the rest of the hunters cloak. Of course, she was helping out a hunter. But for now she ignored this fact. "Hold on dammit, just hold on!"
The thank you caught her off guard. She paused in her frantic attempts, hands still pressed tightly on the horrible wound. But even as she applied the pressure she could feel the heartbeat begin to slow, and then cease all together.
Poke did not move, staring blankly at the body now in front of her. The hunter was dead, he would not come back life. It showed her just how frail they could be. She clenched her hands, not knowing what was worse. The fact that she was helping their enemy, the same people who had taken Mitsu, or the fact she had been useless and unable to do a thing.
The dragoness suddenly jumped to her feet, startled by the voices around her. No, they were just her friends, they were safe. As they drew closer, she stepped back. s**t, what the hell was she supposed to tell them?
"I....There was a hunter...He was on the ground, and-" She tried to explain only to turn and see that there was nothing there.
"...But...there was......I..." She looked back towards them only to see a.... ghoul? The jack was a ghoul doing here?! And what was with the the tray of spookies?!
As she tried to make sense of everything, her head whipped around, ears twitching in response to something. "Did you hear that?" she asked the group, only to see Shun was looking at her.
"...Why are you looking at me like that?!" She demanded, suddenly on edge. "I thought i heard something!"

Just who—or what, rather—was that ghoul? She certainly didn’t seem like a Halloween citizen, but she didn’t look to be a human or a horseman either. Frowning, Xiu took a few steps forward, eying the figure warily. ”I think…she—it?—wants us to hand it one of those…’ingredients’,” She murmured, motioning towards the creatures sitting on the counter. There were black, inky blob-creatures with white eyes, but they looked suspiciously like minipets…enough so that Xiu looked hesitant to hand any of them over to the girl.
The fact that the one with tentacles seemed to be reaching out at them for help didn’t help matters.
Despite the fact that she had no idea what was the gray liquid in the beaker was, the baku found herself reaching towards it, sliding it across the counter to the girl before jumping backwards, as if expecting for the strange girl’s creation to explode the moment the liquid touched the batter.
