"Vieve..." She muttered with a sheepish smile; the ghoul was pretty set in her ideals, she would give her that, "I think most of us agree with you... I just don't want us to be caught off guard again. Somehow."
She frowned, shuddering at the feeling of being trapped, of being so close yet so far from her friends... Of fearing that at any moment, one of those people would point at Lattice or Vieve or Edel to be next, and there would be nothing she could do about it, except to watch and hope that they would be 'incompatible' and spared the fate of turning into a tool for them.
She really did not want history to repeat itself, but she wasn't sure how, seeing how capturing them took no effort on their part, "Bul told me to beware of Dr. H, someone you should kill on sight - you should have seen him on your way to the tent. He's a man in a hood of mid height and built with a female assistant by the name of Clarice." Telling someone to kill another on sight made her feel odd, and she winced; violence was never her way of solving problems. Every time she got into a fight, it was because someone - a friend or herself - was in danger.
Noticing Riyo look her way, she offered the ghoul a smile and a dip of her head before mouthing 'thank you'; as far as she knew, those people who respawned out in the field were part of that battle to try to free her group... And she was both grateful and touched that they would risk their lives for something like that.

((Entering))
Lattice had shuffled along behind Lizzy quietly her mind felt heavy with what had just happened. She stood close to the pink haired demoness (but not too close of course). She had nothing to say as everyone chatted about the time in the cages. Really Lattice had nothing too say that wasn't being said already unless people wanted an adequate description of the sounds she heard (or thought she heard). Lattice wasn't particularly proud of the way she'd lost herself.
She couldn't help it.
Quietly her she just held her tongue as her fingers started to pull at each other anxiously waiting for the next shoe to drop.

Soon, several others had entered the hub. Looking up at them, Shun nodded to them each in acknowledgement before listening to the information being passed around. It was confirmed that they were indeed being turned into weaponry. It was a sickening thought and he felt a little bit of pride in knowing that he had his own weapons that weren't the result of something twisted like this. Unconsciously, he pulled Mitsu closer in a somewhat protective manner, thinking about all of this.
"From what I've gathered, Barth was taken. They must have done something to him to prevent him from joining the rest of us," he replied before looking to Lizzy as she spoke of killing one of them on sight.
"He must be one of the ones responsible for this whole thing I'm guessing," he said darkly, "In which case I'll be sure to slit his throat should I'm given that chance."
His eyes shifted over towards Bul.
"You mentioned something of humans earlier. Are these false Reapers, Human?"

((Entering from the Haunted house Outside))
Team Cuddlepile is it now?
Wandering back through the house after nearly getting captured and Jack knows what those Hunter things would do to them, Damien didn't expect to feel so sluggish. Like all the energy was slowly ebbing away until the group of them came across one of the more familiar rooms of the place, the resting grounds/hub/ boo stalking area, whatever they all wanted to call it.
The hound stepped past the area that still had a fine spray of oil on its surfaces to recline against his fellow animal members,enjoying the small intermission between the madness and switching back to his four legged form.
"I could do with a small nap, till we're all assembled again." he grumbled out in a low series of keens and wedged himself between the lizard and the tiger and had one of his heads keep watch while the other had its break.

Mot's eyes drooped to the floor as they discussed the goings on. Such a depressing topic. His head lifted when Lizzy's team entered, barely able to concentrate on the conversation at hand. He could barely keep his eyes off Lizzy. His eyes would watch her, look away shyly, and return again, hoping not to get caught.  Why? For one thing, she was alive and well. She wasn't captured. And he hoped by keeping an eye on her, that she would stay safe. Another reason? The more accurate one? He simply couldn't help himself. Seeing Lizzy made his heart flutter. It was so much nicer than thinking about what had happened. Being turned into a weapon.. those humans.. it made him sick.

Hel listened quietly and intently to Vieve as she spoke, and could sympathize with the ghoul’s rage and anger. A bit of information really caught her attention though, something else she had been wondering about. A machine that…turned the Halloweeners into weapons. A machine…maybe it was…that large one in the back? Possibly…Hel hadn’t focused much on the machinery as she was too focused on the caged students and the Hunters. The reaper looked over at Lizzy when she spoke up as well, blinking at yet even more new information. Her lips couldn’t help but pull into a slight smirk. “… Ah…death…I would happen to agree with you there, Lizzy.” The ghoul happened to be in the same boat as the others. She didn’t want to be turned into a weapon, she’d rather stop existing. Period. Her gaze stayed on Lizzy, and her eyes widened as she told them to… kill one of the false reapers. “… Kill on sight?” Hel repeated a bit incredulously. She’d never heard of such a command before! To have such a thing issued against one self…that must be bad, really bad. Hel looked over at Mot, to see if he had any further input on the topic…only to find him not being so subtle about where his focus was.  The irritation was back. They were discussing something rather serious…and was he really? Really? Hel couldn’t bite her tongue. “ You know, Mot.” The reaper started, and to her credit, she wasn’t speaking loud about it, but she wasn’t whispering either. “ If you’re that concerned over Lizzy, I do believe there is a spot for one more on her team…a shame that Mac isn’t here to look after her, yes?”

Nervously nodding to Lizzy as her silent thank you was given, Riyo's eyes returned to the floor.
You know, no matter how bad a situation seemed, there was always a small beam of light to make things bearable. Riyo had sunken into herself with thoughts of becoming weaponry and what that might mean, until a certain tone caught her sensitive ears.
Her eyes slowly turned upwards to Hel, pointed feline appendages perking on either side of her head. Ah, what was this now? Oh goodness, there Mot went again, fawning over the pink haired demon while Hel stewed in her own jealousy. Yes, without a doubt, it was jealousy.
But what made it even better was that she actually SAID something this time. Ohohohoho! The feline, however, had not forgotten about how sore her nose was, so instead of saying a word, she simply stared at the valkyrie.
Stared and smiled.

Lattice's brow furrowed a bit when she heard Hel's tone toward Mot.
More tension. Always more tension. The Engraver quietly shifted her weight again and tried to ignore it as her head tilted toward the ground.
Stopstopstopstopstopstop.
Just everyone get along make it stop. Why couldn't everyone just, "JUST HUG JACK DAMN IT!" Lattice suddenly shouted out. "Stop being so ... So ... angry and nippy with each other."

All this chatter was not good for napping. Bul's natural form lifted its ugly head and let out a low key growl before he morphing back to human and leaning back against his soft comrades once more. Inclining his head he looked to Shun first.
"Yup. They're human. Vindictive little bastards," he replied with a shrug. "Can only imagine all the reasons why. Haters gonna hate Halloween, yanno?"
"Kill only one, they said. I can't fathom how... DIFFICULT that is going to be. That's why it'll be a team effort. They also said that. There was no way one student could possibly do it." 'They' still remained a mystery that Bul would never reveal.
As for the ghouls taunting his cowboil buddy, Bul simply rolled his eyes.

Mot had gotten a little out of hand it seemed.He'd meant to pay attention, he really did. Somehow his mind wasn't all there. So when Hel addressed him, he held back a squeak, realizing he'd been caught, and shifted his nervous gaze to the Valkyrie. His jaw stiffened at her suggestion. She was being.. awfully mean.
He furrowed his brow, looking at her for a while, before averting his gaze. He looked.. hurt. And he felt hurt. This whole place and situation just sucked. His people being turned to weapons. His friends almost meeting the same fate. His friend making fun of him...
Mot jolted in place as Lattice yelled at the group. Poor Lattice. After all that hardship, to come to a group that always seemed to be at war with each other. His eyes stayed on the floor now. There would be no hugging.

Willow licked at a paw before pausing when Demi came in and leaned against her she gave a small murr before looking towards the others that were being a bit loud her ears pinned back.
"Do you really have to yell?" Willow asked Lattice, she was half tempted to go give the ghoul a hug if that'd stop the yelling. However that'd require the displacement of her team members, and something she was a bit too lazy to do at the moment.
The tiger sighed and looked back at Bul. "Maybe we just have to find something to distract the others?" She asked watching as he leaned against her and Demi. "Distractions always work don't they?"

Shun's eyes narrowed at the response. Well at least now he had a better idea of what they were up against. Though, he had to wonder how these humans came about with the ability to turn them against their own kind. In any case, that ability had made them incredibly dangerous enemies.
Moreso for this Dr. H character, if they were given the order to kill on sight. They were, in general, forbidden to kill humans after all.
"Well, seeing how dangerous he is to our kind, I'm sure the big heads wouldn't mind us bending the no killing humans rule for his sake," he said before pausing as he caught what was going on between Hel, Mot, and Lizzy. What the hell was up with that?
"Hel. Stop antagonizing Mot," he warned, "You're nearly as bad as Riyo when it comes to that."

Damien let out a tiny yelp at all the shouting that was ruining his naptime and rolled over onto his back, pawing at the air and at the half beast that was using him and willow like pillows. "Some people just have odds ways of coping Willow." he replied back to the ghost tiger next to him, he himself just wanted to pounce on the gunslinger just to make him feel better.
"You all should just hug it out ya know." he growled out loud to the others, the use of speaking was rough and throaty in animal form. "Do we really have to use more distractions?" he practically whined to her, not wanting to remember the last time they tried that and what had happened.
And there was that faint line of blush again, thank jack for a dense layer of fur.

Bul let out a long, nervous 'aaaah' with a crooked smile in response to Willow. "Yes uh.. I would say they do. But humans are so different what they think is cool is probably... really ******** stupid," he said. "Not to mention we would need everyone's help in the end. A distraction may cost us that extra edge."
Nodding once more to Shun Bul grinned. "As far as I'm told? We are allowed. Perhaps there will be consequences but a murderer is a murderer in either realms. They have their punishment as do we. If Doctor H is the one... you know... to students then that makes him a murderer. Especially if its not successful." Eyes wandered to Lizzy and Lattice. As captives they saw way too much than they needed to.
"I am curious though. Who in fact was that ethereal ghoul? The one they had captured? The... one that felt magnificent," he said then sorta blushed. "That's really the first thing that comes to mind I mean er-"

Hel’s gaze swiveled back over to Riyo as the ghoul decided to taunt her with another smile. “What’s that, Riyo?” Hel hissed, “You want me to break your teeth next?”
There was no action to try and do so though, Hel remained where she was seated, and startled at Lattice’s sudden outburst, staring at the Engraver now for a good long moment, before suddenly leaping to her feet. Sitting just wasn’t cutting it her for agitation at the moment. “Hug?” She echoed in an incredulous tone. “ Hugging is useless right now! Hugging will not stop those false reapers, hugging will not bring back Halloweeners who are weapons, and hugging will not help us reclaim the student who was captured!” Hel stomped a foot, swiping a hand through her air as she spoke. She looked down at Mot as the reaper went quiet, and she didn’t miss the hurt expression on his face but…she couldn’t feel remorse for her words and actions right now.
The ghoul had a look of disblief on her face as Shun told her to stop antagonizing him though. “What?” She snapped. “If I’m antagonizing, you tell him to get serious and focus! Now is not the time to be fawing!” Ugh. The reaper couldn’t sit back down here right…
Hel marched over to an unoccupied side of the room and immediately dropped to the floor. She tucked her legs underneath her as she rested her palms on her knees, and let out an aggravated breath. She could continue to listen to the conversation from her new spot quietly for the moment.
