Shun's eye narrowed at Poke as she seemed a little frantic.
"If there was a hunter on the ground, I hope you finished them off," he muttered before frowning as she practically snapped at him, "And calm the ******** down. It was probably that weird girl or one of her blobs."
He shook his head, then moved a little closer to Mitsu to wrap one arm around her somewhat protectively. The Reaper didn't know this girl and so he didn't exactly trust her. Xiu was right. It seemed like she wanted help. Though.. .wasn't that batter she had? In which.. it likely meant she was baking. Minipets or whatever those blobs were in baked goods did not seem particularly appetizing.
But you know? It wasn't like he'd have to eat it and it seemed like they couldn't leave until they helped. With an irritated sigh, he just grabbed the closest thing, the black fluffy thing to pass off.

It took a moment for Mitsu to push herself to her feet, her arms wrapping around herself as she looked at their new surroundings. There were counters full of...things and the air smelled warm and sweet. Kinda like spookies. Why wasn't that at all comforting?
Mitsu pulled a hand around to look at again but just like the ground where the figure had been the blood was gone. There was no evidence that they had ever been there but the illusion had been so real. She could still feel the warm sticky liquid between her fingers.
Her eyes darted to Poke as the girl spoke, mentioning something about a hunter. That was all it took to put Mitsu on edge, looking around for the potential danger despite the fact they had yet to figure out if this girl was a danger herself. Huddling close to Shun as he put an arm around her, the lycan did her best to be small and stay out of sight. She wasn't interested in helping though from the looks of it...there was no where to go. If they helped this girl would she let them leave?
The 'ingredients' on the counter were a little unsettling with their void like white eyes. It made her think of her FEAR when her shadow manifested into a wolf. It was hard to decide what to hand over since so many of the things looked like pets but Mitsu finally picked up the fish like creature and scooted it over.
It was hard to ignore the squirming masses on the counter tops and Mitsu tugged on Shun's jacket before pointing toward one of the black creatures that seemed to be reaching out toward them imploring them for help.

Feeling the tug of his jacket, Shun glanced down towards Mitsu, then over towards the blobby tentacle thing that looked like it was trying to call for help of sorts. He stared at it with a little bit of disinterest. The Reaper didn't really know what to make of the little black blobs, or the black blob of a girl that was talking to them. Then again, this whole place had been acting a little strangely since they had gotten here. The only violence that he was aware of thus far was him finishing off that figure in the fog, but aside from that there wasn't a whole lot.
"Just stay close," he murmured to his lycan. He wasn't sure what to expect here but he was trying to prepare himself in case something blew up.

Calm the ******** down he says. What a brilliant suggestion! Because she could totally calm the ******** down surrounded by voices and fog and black blob girls. Totes.
The black mass the ghoul stood in front of was disturbing, and the tiny blobs with their white eyes even more so. She stared back. Were they saying something. Rehardles, the ghoul would not shut up. She would have to pick something or face standing around with her here.
Her tail lashed behind her as a sign of her unease, and she pushed the beacon of grey liquid closer to the ghoul.

Xiu automatically put her hands up when the strange concoction was offered to her, shaking her head rather furiously. "No, that's alright, I don't want...any...?"
The baku suddenly fell silent, dropping her hands as a strange rush of warmth flood through her. The panicked look on her face a moment ago had been replaced by a small, content smile, and she slowly reached out to take the offered cup in her hands. Despite the fact that the area around her had been completely gray, there was suddenly color...
How strange. When the figure laughed, Xiu found her smile growing, a small laugh escaping her lips as if she was sharing the girl's humour.

Poke was alarmed when the drink was offered to Xiu, but her alarm quickly faded away at the happy expression on the baku's face. It didn't...seem to be poison, or insanity for that matter,
The cup was then offered to the dragon, who held it warily. taking a small sip, she then felt...warm. Yes, she felt warm. As if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. The paranoia she felt was subdued, at least for the moment.
"Hey guys, you should try some!" She said to Mitsu and Shun. "It tastes pretty good, and you feel great afterwards!" She couldn't help but laugh herself and at the color that had appeared in the place.

The blob screamed and such but Shun didn't seem particularly bothered. Neither did the figure. Though afterwards, he found himself feeling on edge once more. Grimacing, he shifted in place a little uncomfortably before looking at Xiu and Poke. They seemed a little.. .cheerful for whatever reason. Laughter. What was so funny? Not that he'd get it.
"I'll pass," he said flatly. The area had gone to white once more.
"Let's keep moving. I still don't like this place," he muttered under his breath while starting to walk through the fog. His one arm didn't leave Mitsu's waist. So he was sort of urging her along as well as he began to move.
He thought of trying to clear his mind again, but decided to hold off in the meantime.

The ...whatever it was had been made and Mitsu wasn't sure if it was good or bad. The smell certainly seemed familiar it was just hard to place it. Mitsu might have tried some but looking at Xiu and Poke she was reluctant to do so. Why were they so happy all of a sudden? Xiu was even laughing.
Taking a step behind Shun Mitsu hid from view. This was just a little too strange to deal with. "Odd..."

The baku's sudden good mood slowly trickled away when she found herself in a new setting...or rather, when she found suddenly found herself in front of a large door that seemingly appeared from out of nowhere. The ghoul stumbled backwards in surprise, managing to catch herself just before she fell. Eyes round, she turned to look over at the others, partly to shoot them a questioning, "do you see it too?" look, and partly to ensure that they were indeed still there.
"Where did this door...?" Trailing off, she carefully reached out to touch it, first by gently resting her fingertips against it, and then applying more pressure with her whole hand. Unsurprisingly, it felt just as solid as it looked, and when she tried to move around it, she found that the door moved with her, ensuring that she wouldn't be able to get past. So the only way out of here was to go through the door then, huh?
Just before her fingertips could brush against the doorknob, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling for her to wait, followed immediately by a large, warm hand firmly wrapping itself around her wrist and pulling her back. Xiu didn't even need to look up to know who it was--she would recognize that voice anywhere--though her unreadable expression from a moment ago had been replaced by confusion.
"Uncle Hayate, what are you doing here?"
She stared up at the dark-haired baku, flinching slightly when her puzzled eyes rose to meet his deeply troubled ones. That look...it was once quite unusual to see her uncle without his characteristic, kind smile, but she had been seeing that worried look from him for quite a while now. He had given her the same look when a number of Amity students had been kidnapped and she insisted on cutting her trip home short to return to the school. It was a look that always made her stop and reconsider her choice...but in the end, she usually did what she believed had to be done, and no matter how concerned he was about her, her uncle would always let her go.
The corners of her lips curled upwards in a soft smile as she rest her free hand over Hayate's, carefully loosening his fingers and pulling her wrist free. "I'm going, uncle. After all, weren't you the one who always told me to work towards a bright future instead of dwelling on a dark past or present?" With her wrist free, she slowly let go of him, turning to eye the large door with a sheepish grin. "I'd be lying if I said that I knew what was beyond that door...but right now, it's the only path forward. I'm nervous, but..."
Trailing off, Xiu clutched at the front of her dress, pressing her lips together in a thin line. As she stood close to this door, all she could feel was a sense of foreboding, a feeling that the end of something was near. However, despite this, Xiu was intent on continuing forward. For all she knew, she was walking into a deathtrap, but if there was a chance that there was something beyond those doors that would cure everyone of this insanity...
...Well then, what other choice did she have? It wasn't going to do anyone--not herself or her friends--any good if she remained lost in this fog of insanity forever. She would just have to take a chance and hope that something behind that door would be of help.

Well. Shun tried to move on but a door had suddenly spawned before him. Furrowing his brow, he reached out to touch the door, and it was rather solid.
"Yes I see it," he said while trying to walk around it. That didn't work. The door ended up shifting to get in his way. With a frown, he looked it over some more. Alright, so if they wanted to proceed, they'd have to go through one way or another. The Reaper was about to walk after Xiu, but stopped as he heard someone shouting for him to wait.
Turning around, he saw... Mitsu? Wait. But Mitsu was...
And now Xiu was talking to some phantom or something.
"Xiu, I have to ask. This isn't a dream, right? Because it is really starting to feel like one," he asked a little flatly. The way things were happening made things rather surreal. Of course if this was a dream and that wasn't the real Xiu, she wouldn't know any better. And if this was a dream, it was one hell of a strong and crazy one for sure. In any case, he found himself a little confused here.
Mitsu was beside him... so the one that had grabbed him must be an illusion.. right? But then again, the words she said.. it was rather fitting of her. Did she know something about this door? But then if that was the case, was he wandering with an illusion all along?
No. Something wasn't adding up. And this scenario was starting to make his head ache. Whatever the case, it seemed like the door was important. One way or another. Especially with what Xiu said.
"What the hell is even going on?" he muttered with a sigh before looking towards the lycan before him, then to the one next to him.
"Someone has to do this. If whatever's behind this door is causing all of this.. I have a feeling it'll only mess with us in the future. I will protect you.. by any means necessary," he said softly while looking between the two... just to be sure that she got his message. If she didn't want to follow him, that was fine.

And in no time at all Poke's good mood was spoiled. The scenery went white, and she was now standing in front of a door. Where had the door come form? Probably the same place the rest of this whacked out s**t was from. And not only that, but more people were showing up. She heard Xiu refer to the older baku as 'uncle', but she had to do a double take when Mitsu showed up...twice. That was a sure sign these things were illusions, or she really was losing it.
So, if the illusions were showing up when they approached the door...who would show up for her?
The question was answered once she stepped closer. A voice called out to her, and she froze on the spot. No..no, it was a illusion, she was sure of it.
But, to hear her mothers voice in a place like this...
Slowly, Poke turned around to face her. It defiantly looked like her, with the same brown hair albeit much shorter then hers. She looked very much like her mother, however the similarities were only skin deep. she was a water dragon, taking after her father, while her mother was a dragon of the earth. It showed in the way her horns curled back to the sides of her head, and the brown tail that slowly swayed to and fro. With her arms folded and the stern expression she frequently wore, it could be no one else.
Right now she was telling her to not go inside. There was another way. But what other way? Looking at the door, she could feel the sense of a conclusion, as if everything would be done and dusted on the other side. It was not promising.
A glance around, and she could see Xiu and Shun had made up their minds. There was no way in hell she could turn away now, not when they were going forwards.
"I'm going. whether you like it or not. She turned her back on her mom, or more precisely the illusion of her mom. "I refuse to let my friends go into danger by themselves. I wont abandon them. " Her words giving her strength, she focused on calming herself down, letting her energy flow and ease the paranoia that plagued her thoughts.

They had continued onward or at least as onward as they could go until the door suddenly appeared in their path. There had been no warning or heads up that it was going to be there it just...was there. It also seemed to be troublesome to get passed. No matter where Xiu moved it followed her every step making sure to stay between her and the path ahead of them.
So if they couldn't go around that meant they were supposed to go through right? Either it was the right path or it was a set up for a trap and considering how the haunted house worked Mitsu couldn't rule out either as a possibility. It was a scary gamble but there was something inside her that told her it was the right path to take.
She stepped a little closer waiting for the others to walk through but suddenly they were speaking to with people who hadn't been there a moment prior. Even Shun was talking to another...her. Shifting uncomfortably Mitsu backed away from the second version of herself feeling the fur on the back of her tail bristle. She backed up closer to the door but as she did she felt the soft brush of a hand against her shoulder and she spun around to find someone she never expected to see again.
"G..Ginji?" Her brother stood there looking no different than the last time she had seen him four years ago. His blind eyes stared unfocused but his attention was clearly on her as his hold of her shoulder tightened. He seemed so worried about her, telling her there was another way and that she didn't have to go. There was a small part of her that wanted to believe it, that wanted this illusion to be real. A hand even reached up to touch the one on her shoulder. Ginji felt so real, so warm to the touch, but so had the blood she had seen earlier and it had turned out to be nothing more than her imagination.
"Please..." Mitsu spoke in a whisper her hand tugging against the one on her shoulder. "Let go of me." He wasn't real and if he was he wouldn't keep her here if she didn't want to be. As important as Ginji was to her she had someone else she needed to look out for now. Someone else close to her heart that she couldn't let wander off on his own. Shun didn't necessarily need her but she wanted to be there and he had chosen to go.

More phantoms had sprung up. Another dragon for Poke, and.. a lycan of sorts for Mitsu. He was certain the ones that had sprung up now where indeed illusions. Turning towards the male that had appeared, he paused as he heard the name his wolf uttered out. So this was what her missing brother looked like. Blind, just as she had told him.
Though, even so, Shun's eye narrowed for the moment, ready to take action should the blind lycan refuse to let go. Nevermind that he had a phantom latched onto himself right now too.
He wasn't sure if these could be harmed.. but they were currently solid enough to grab on to each of them after all. Thankfully, the doppleganger of Mitsu ended up releasing him. Letting out a breath, he turned towards the others, reaching out to take the real Mitsu's hand for now.
"We're all going in then," he said quietly, "Stay on your guard.. there's no telling what will await us on the other side..."

The troubled look was replaced with his characteristic grin. The fog-Uncle released his grip and gave Xiu a gentle push forward before vanishing.
The sudden change in her uncle’s expression surprised her, but then Xiu smiled, taking a small step forward at the encouraging push. ”Thank you, uncle Hayate.” She reached out then to touch the knob, taking a deep breath before turning it. The next thing she knew, the door disappeared.
The baku turned back to look at the others, smiling wryly at Shun. ”Yes, it looks like we all decided to go. And as for your question…” She trailed off, furrowing her brows in thought as she surveyed their surroundings, head cocked to the side. After a moment of silence, she gave a slow shake of her head. icolor=palevioletred]”I don’t…think this is a dream? At least, it’s definitely beyond my power to bring so many people into a single dream like this, but if there’s someone out there that can do such a thing, then…”
She trailed off, shaking her head again. ”Though in either case, I supposed we’ll find out soon enough. You felt it too, didn’t you? That sense of finality.”
