Welcome to Gaia! ::

What the demon in the net had said was interesting. Very interesting. Were there factions in Halloween? He supposed it made sense; thinking creatures with free will wouldn't all think the same way. It was useful information. He reached automatically to the place in his head where Ferros was, and got only the barest of responses. Dammit. He wanted the dragon's input. Thinking with only his own mind was really ******** weird.

"The ones who hunt humans, they're our prey." Jordan pinned the green, toothy girl with a sharp, thoughtful look. "But if you mean what you say, you're not my enemy. In fact, I'd rather you go home and share that point of view." He paused a moment, then added, "Gotta warn you. Not all monsters are like you, and not all Hunters are like me."

He turned his back deliberately on the monster and the demon and moved away, looking for the Horseman he'd been targeting earlier, or one of its kin. Those were the real threat. The arrival of the Horsemens' reinforcements only solidified his decision. They were what the Hunters were really here for.

Jordan spotted Invictus only moments before Circe sliced into the robed Horseman's chest; he watched with some satisfaction as the creature dissipated. He'd have to pick a new target. Then the particles started to draw back into a shape, and Jordan gritted his teeth - s**t it was back. How had Circe not eaten its Fear?

He slipped around knots of students, looking to get close enough to the Horseman to attack him again.

Luidaeg looked up, surprised but heartened to see some of their instructors from the last two weeks coming to their aide. Better late than never, he'd take whatever help they could get at this point. With renewed enthusiasm, he re-entered the fray. He again attacked the blond with the huge sword, since he'd been having decent luck there... but this time he barely managed to scratch her, taking a solid hit to his side in the process. "Damn."

Excuse me Miss Riley Statue. She was hugging you. Shehk liked it better when things were standing up straight. Easier to hug that way and all. Still, Shehk sighed, looking at all of the hunters about with a small growl, but didn't move from her place at Riley's side, making a point to center the statue firmly in hopes it wouldn't fall over again.

She would be there when Riley got up. When. Not if. When. Because it was Riley. Riley would tell being a statue to go ******** itself and come back like a boss. Because that was simply what she did.


Right?

Still, her ears burned as something happened with the Horsemen, passing a look over towards the Hunters and Invictus. She wasn't exactly sure what was going on there, but it looked like it had been intense - quite the reformation from the sound of it.

The hunters would be the ones to find a way to make that hurt. Jerks.

[[This is a reaction post.]]

"Cymbeline." again, warmth. Invictus brushed some of the hair from the insane-heir's face - though perhaps he too was a little insane as well, leaning in to plant a kiss on her lips as he had with Aisa. "It is quite beautiful." he agreed.

The heir passed a look back towards Caelius for a moment. A silent look - 'I will play with you later' - before he looked towards the hunters attacking him instead. Shame. They were messing with his lovely time with Aisa and Cymbeline and that was simply just not good. So he would handle them, and then he would go play with the master hunter.

That seemed like a fun idea.

He didn't even lift his bow as suddenly the earth began to tremble underneath the weight of his gravity, his attention shifting over towards Rep and Jerry in a way that almost seemed bored of them.

"We were having a moment with my lovely women," the gravity pulled down harder as he spoke, "mind your manners."

Here he had two hunters right in front of him--attacking him--and catching him on fire (yes, that was one of the leads, he didn't care) but when he caught sight of the blonde from his DEATH trial dream Roch forgot about that. He slung his guitar strap over his shoulder and tried his hardest to do his A Chord again.

Jack he hoped it worked. It did. Somewhat. She smacked him hard before it really got powerful. Ouch.

"Nah, she won't be a problem," Jordan said, shoving the capture gun into his pocket and giving a dismissive handwave. "It's the big ones I'm worried about. Those are the ones that can really screw us up." He paused to catch Harrison's eye and give him a warm affectionate smile. "You still with me?"

The ghoul hadn't even noticed the nets until her friend pointed them out, and she watched in horror as the Hunters captured several other students. She had been about to go try to help free someone, anyone, when the promised help arrived.

Mitzi broke out in a grin, as much of relief as anything. Yes, they could do this now! They'd held out. Although... there were fewer Horsemen than she had expected. Where were the rest of them? But really, it was most important to fight the Hunters back, to protect themselves from the immediate threat.

But then, before practically anything else had happened, one of the lead Hunters destroyed one of the Heirs. She felt her breath catch, and after one horrifying moment she saw him reappear. If anything, seeing him come back just assured her, they could win this.

That, followed by Whisper's pep talk, had her determined to do her part. She scanned the Hunters, who had all fallen back, looking for the one who had attacked her earlier. There! She summoned her spear, running forward and swinging it at the ghoul. She was rewarded with a solid hit, and a triumphant smile twisted her features.

Her earlier uncertainty about harming or killing the Hunters was gone, at last for the moment. She would not let them hurt Reiko, or Roch, or Imryn or Whisper or Alex or any of her other friends, she would not let them torture them or murder them or worse. If that meant killing them, so be it.
