Herryk's shoulders dropped and he offered Freya a crooked smile, one that didn't quite reach his eyes. This conversation would have to wait -- the thought frightened him. One pill left. Just one.
He sent a sideways glance to Calder. Herryk would not take the pill over Freya. He only hoped that it wouldn't come to that, but if it did... No. Now wasn't the time to think about it.
Pressing a small, soft kiss to Freya's temple, Herryk turned and made his way to the door.
"Lets get this show on the road," he said gruffly, taking Freya by her hand and threading her fingers through his own.
(Exiting to Group 3 room~)

Calder noticed the first years moving up, and Calder opened the door for them, turning to wait for Barth and Christof. "Hurry up. Whatever it is, I think it's burning. We should go before they overcook." He hoped that whatever was cooking was being served with tea. He was feeling thirsty. All this time without any water.
He waved the group to pick up the pace.

Barth let Christof pull him up, and Calder hold the door. He very much doubted it was, as Calder had suggested, a party. Or as Herryk had suggested, a show (even though it was only a turn of phrase).
The small interlude had been...stimulating. And enlightening. He mostly hoped the next room would be...uneventful.
Exit to Group 3 Room.

Sloth demon successfully hauled to his feet and sent moving, his Igor was quick to limp after while bracing himself for what was to come.
At least now he was feeling a bit better.
Still hoping for things to punch, that was for sure, but better.

Freya's eyes closed when he kissed her temple, and opened when he pulled her by the hand towards the door. Calder mentioned cooking, and the thought lifted Freya's spirits.
"I smell too much sweet, though.. I hope they have a barbeque in there."
((Freya has exited!))

Calder followed behind, thinking of a barbeque. "I could go for a barbeque, but I do hope they have sweets. That or something to drink. I'm parched." He closed the door behind him, following after his group.
((Calder has left with high hopes ready to be squashed.))

(( Entering! ))
Amrita woke up on the floor, and in a great deal of pain. Her body was weak, her mind fuzzy, and her resolve to do anything crashing past zero. The ghoul pulled herself off the ground enough to sit up, looking around frantically before realizing she was safe; that her group was safe. With a heavy sigh she flopped right back over, staying firmly on the ground on her side. It was nice to let her bones relax for a moment, to let her mind go blank...
No matter how hard she tried though, she could still feel the damage done to her body; the impaling wound on her breast, the bone-deep cut in her leg, the torn flesh on the lower right side of her face to match the open skull eye on the left side, all the smaller wounds and cuts, the loose stitches...
All she could think was; Oh Jack, Christof's going to kill me.

[ Entering from Group 5 thread! ]
Xiu groaned as her eyes fluttered open. While she hadn't been too bad off from the not-reapers' attacks, the explosion left her aching and shaking as she pushed herself up into a sitting position. Aside from some scrapes, bruises, and slight cuts, she seemed to be fine, though.
...Her hat was gone, though. It must have blown up with the turkey (noooooo).
When she noticed that Amrita was sitting only a few paces away, Xiu got onto her knees and crawled over, her ears and tail drooping the closer she got to the undead ghoul. Amrita had clearly taken the brunt of most of the attacks in that battle, and her current condition showed it. "...A-amrita, I'm so sorry. If I had been closer to you--o-or if I had been able to block some attacks..." Her lips pulled into an unhappy frown as she wrung her hands together guiltily. She hadn't been all that helpful during that battle at all. She had gotten a couple of hits in, but...really, their opponents hadn't seem phased by those attacks in the slightest.
"Who were those...those..." She wasn't even sure what to call them. What kind of people would be so cruel as to attack innocent students?

((entering from Group 5 room))
Raziel fell into the room with a light thud. Looking around, out of his teammates who had also gotten there already, he seemed to be the least hurt. Amrita looked really bad and Xiu wasn't doing a whole lot better. He pushed himself up and moved over to the two girls, "Amrita, Xiu, are you okay? You don't look so good Amrita..." he trailed off. Would she even accept the pumpkin pill? He wasn't sure, but he figured it was worth a shot. "You should take a pill, feel better and everything, okay?" He looked up forlornly at Xiu, he felt bad for not having been closer to his friends and having done anything to help against the strangers. It was kind of his fault that Amrita was hurt so bad.
Somewhere in the back of his mind, Raziel knew the turkey was wandering around the room. He had let it go upon thudding to the floor in his arrival, and he would remember to pick it up later before they left.

Amrita opened her eye again when she heard Xiu's voice, her head tilting to look at the poor ghoul. She instantly felt guilty, having worried her poor team mate so badly. "H-hey!" She stammered, trying to sound as cheerful as posisble. "Naw, don't apologize, there was nothing anyone could do." In the face of the upset Baku, Amrita struggled to actually sit up, the hardest part being from the lift herself from laying on her side to being somewhat vertical.
"Don't be upset, okay? S-see? I'm fine!" Her movements were slow and aching, but she was wiping off her dirty face, trying to clean the somewhat congealed blood off of her dark skin with what was left of her sleeves. "This isn't a big deal." Though she was pretty sure Christof was going to kill her, and that Malodore would be disappointed. "It's just a flesh wound!" A lot of them, but...whatever she was still able to move! She slowly leaned forward to hug the Baku, but doing so at enough of a distance to not get blood all over her.
"It's okay, Raz! I'm...I'm alright!" She was lying through her teeth almost literally, but she was trying to do it as happy and convincingly as possible. "...Naah, You hold on to that pill, we've only got two left, right?" Amrita shook her head politely, clambering to her feet but still favouring her hurt leg. "I'm just glad you're both okay! Better me than you, I can repair easier." A half-laughed jest, but she still winced in pain.
"Err...speaking of...did anyone see where my bag went...? I...kind of need it." Safety pins, she needed those safety pins! But then Xiu's question donned on her, and Amrita grew solemn again, looking down at the ground.
"You know...I think they were some breed of human." She said slowly, recalling what the girl with the swords had said.

(Entering from group 5!)
If you bothered to look up, you would have seen a particular blue kitsune falling from the skies. Said kitsune was in true form while falling, but a moment after he landed on his rump with a OOMF, he was transformed back into human form.
Unfortunately, the room had not spit his pants back out with him...
Completely aware that he was only in his boxers, the boil felt his face turn a shade redder as he looked down. Quickly making a hand movement, he cast a illusion around his lower half to make it seem like the pants were there. Thankfully people would only be able to tell if they touched his leg that they were fake... and he did not exactly expect anyone to do such a thing here. Thankfully... maybe. Ok he was just damn glad to have pants, if even fake pants (it was still damn breezy) again.
Looking around the Hub, he felt himself breath a sigh of relief... they made it. They were still missing Lacie but she should hopefully fall down here... right? He prayed to jack that she had not accidentally gone with the hunters. "They are Hunters." He briefly called out, hearing the conversation that was taking place. "Riley told me about them. Humans whom carry weapons, and something about mist. She warned me about them... now i can see ill have to tell her how right she was later."
Spying a particular one in the bunch... he pricked his ears and hoisted himself to his feet. Wincing some, he would have a bruise the size of Amityville on his side tomorrow, he walked briskly towards Amrita. "You... i owe you my hide." She had pushed him away and stood her ground, taking the full force of two attacks. He never would have expected anyone to do that for him, but none the less she had saved him. Grabbing the ghoul, he did the one thing he could think of that could show how grateful he was for her help, and for them both being alive. Grabbing her shoulders, Remi leaned over and kissed the ghoul.

Amrita spun around when she heard a familiar voice, though the motion made her wince. "R-remi!" She cried out happily, thankful to see him still standing and...now wearing pants? When did he get those? OH WHO CARED, REMI WAS ALIVE! "H-hunters?! But why are they...?" She wasn't sure if she had heard about them before or not, but...they didn't seem very nice at all. Remi was suddenly in front of her, and she stared up at the much taller boil with her eye wide.
"O-oh...it was nothing, really, just...I..." The weight of his hands on her shoulders baffled her, but it was nothing compared to what happened next. Remi kissed her, and before she knew what she was doing her hands were flying up to hold the sides of his neck, pulling him down closer and squeezing her eye shut. "I'm so happy you're alive!" She gasped out once it was over, but as she stared up at him, realization started to kick in to her little undead brain. Remi kissed her. Remi kissed her! That was her first kiss! And she...did she...she did! She kissed him back! Oh jack what was this, just---what---
"Eep...!" Eye wide again, she released him as though shocked, her cut up face turning all sorts of fun blushy undead colours as she stepped back. "Don'tworryaboutitreallyi'mgladyou'reokayforthemostpart." Amrita stammered out.

The corners of Xiu's lips tilted upwards in a weak smile at the reassurance, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She reached out to return Amrita's hug, being very careful to do so in a gentle manner--she didn't want to hurt the ghoul any more than she already was. At Raziel's voice, the baku bobbed her head. "I'm fine. Nothing serious..." Trailing off, her eyes moved back to Amrita, her hand tightening into a fist as she took in all of the injuries.
Jack forbid they ever run into those not-reapers again. It had been hard to focus while on the field since there was so much going on, but seeing how much damage had come to the vetala up close actually made Xiu's blood boil. It wasn't just Amrita either--Remi had taken a great deal of damage during that battle as well.
As if on cue, said kitsune suddenly fell from the sky. Stumbling clumsily onto her feet, Xiu gaped at the boil and cupped her hands over her mouth. "Remi!" Oh Jack, was he okay? At the very least, she was happy to see that he was alive. For a while there, Xiu had wondered what would happen to them if the battle had progressed. Would they have been picked off one by one?
The thought made her shudder violently. She sincerely hoped that Lacie would follow soon.
Spotting Amrita's bag sitting a ways away, Xiu went to retrieve it for her, concerned that the undead ghoul was in no state to stand up right now. However, before she could grab it, she froze and looked back towards the vetala. "...Humans?" Then her gaze moved to Remi. "Hunters?" What was going on here? Were these humans angry that they were in their world? That's what one of those not-rea--...hunters had said before everything blew up, right?
Xiu's expression was troubled as she bent down to pick up Amrita's bag, but her face quickly switched to one of shock when she turned back and caught the sudden...er, exchange between Remi and Amrita. With a little yelp, she promptly turned around again, acting as if she hadn't seen anything and as if the floor was immensely fascinating.
O-oh, she...she hadn't know that Remi and Amrita were...like that. Maybe a little privacy was an order? They had nearly just died, after all--perhaps they would want to spend some time alone lamenting how fate had almost separated them but they got through it together. Or something.
(Stop reading romance novels, Xiu).

Stepping away the boil could not help but grin. She had kissed him back, so hopefully it meant she accepted the thank you kiss? Well she seemed flustered... that was normal for a ghoul right? Well HE was happy at least. He liked Amrita, and she really had saved him. "Glad you are ok."
Remi himself was not in the best of shape either. Thankfully the bruise he felt forming on his side was not visible, but the cuts and scrapes were. A few ran down his arms in places that stained the parts of his suit that were real red. His trio of tails were not up and flicking around as usual, in fact they looked rather droopy.
A pause as he looked around once again...
"I'm glad we all made it....hate to say it but that blob monster saved our asses. I don't know why the hunters were here but... i do not think Red planned this." That was when he noticed he was still covered in the sauce in places. With a groan he made a attempt to wipe away the cranberry smelling goop. It was persistent, and had stained areas of the cloth.
He was back to hoping that these are not rentals.
It appeared Xiu was not going to get a speech about fate and romancey stuff. Poor ghoul. "Hey Xiu, how are you feeling?"

Xiu might have been a little disappointed.
Just a little.
Jumping as Remi addressed her, the baku whirled around with wide eyes. "H-huh? O-oh! I'm fine! ...What about you?" With a worried frown, she looked him up and down, checking for any signs of injury. All she could see were scrapes and cuts, but judging by the hits he had taken, she wouldn't have been surprised if he was more injured than he appeared. "I...I'm really sorry that I was of little help out there. If I had--oh. You got your pants back?"
Xiu was momentarily distracted by the fact that Remi was donning a pair of pinstriped pants again. But she thought that his previous pair had been blasted off? Shaking her head, she moved over towards Amrita and put the bag beside her before sitting down. And since Remi was close by and she was still puzzled, the baku couldn't help but reach out and give his shin a little pat. Had he brought an extra pair of pants with him?
...Ah. No. Apparently not. That wasn't cloth she was touching.
Withdrawing her hand quickly, Xiu frowned as she pulled her legs up against her chest (skirt be damned). "...We didn't even do anything to those hunters, yet they attacked us."
