Welcome to Gaia! ::

The reaper stood back up, nodding to Johan as he began his work. The reaper in chaps crossed his arms, waiting with his breath held. Would this do anything? Would they learn anything from it? He hoped to Jack it did some good. His gaze turned back to Sammy. She still looked rattled, but perhaps she would come around. Shehk looked better, so that had to mean something.

So Mot stood with his latest group, waiting and watching.

Mandy's faced pinched slightly, breathe hissing out between her teeth, as Shehk mentioned everyone who tried to save anyone at Amity dying. It was true, painful, but true. The ghouls next comment through Mandy for the loop though,

'We had to have been meant to be a trap'

Had they? She hadn't even considered that. Listening to the others discuss she found herself agreeing.

"If we are the bait, that's not necessarily a bad thing... I think we should all know by now what their weapons are... if we're here to help trap these abominations I'm ok with that. Besides, we're clearly not alone, didn't anyone else feel that before? We were healed a bit - who else would have sent that? Someone’s coming."

When Shehk mentioned her bag and supplies Mandy could have hit herself. She still had hers. Pulling it off she quickly glanced round to make sure none of those Hunters took advantage of her inattention and pulled out her strips of cloth and spare clothes.

"Hang on, I've got these - they can be used as bandages for anyone that needs them."

Mandy paid little attention to the talk of runes, she knew nothing about them so left the planning there to those with more knowledge.

HE'S ATTACKING! HE'S ATTACKING!! The axe in Ennéa's hands jumped and began violently vibrating as Baraz frantically beat his wings and screamed in frustration.

Ennéa had to quickly get a better grip as the weapon seemed to strain, eager to start swinging at the horseman girl that Jordan -- wait, Jordan?? Ennéa couldn't quite believe what she was seeing. There was a huge monster abomination circling around in the sky just ready to wipe them all out but instead her squad leader was still attacking the smaller monsters.

Baraz was angrily screeching, making it hard to think. LET'S GO TOO!!! I'LL CHOP OFF HER HEAD!! His single eye was blazing blue and glaring angrily at Ennéa. COME ON!! He screamed.

Ennéa wasn't sure what was going on, but she trusted her leader. She took a step forward to help Jordan when Caelius suddenly appeared, confronting the horse person. Ennéa hesitated. She most definitely didn't want to get caught between them if they started fighting too.

Baraz screeched again to voice his displeasure and she grimaced. "Shut up!" she hissed firmly at him. She glanced worriedly up at the sky at the circling monster. She also didn't want to ignore *that* threat either.

Ennéa scurried over closer to Jordan, almost huddling behind him, and watched Caelius and the horseperson face each other. "Um, what's going on? Do you need help?" She asked him nervously.

It was a good thing that the Death Hunter considered Jordan's careless action to be nothing than the usual annoyance, Eris had his full attention now.

At this point however, he suffered two severe disadvantages: the first being - as he quickly scanned the skies for a second - when Red would make a reappearance, the second being how beaten up he was actually feeling. Though he wasn't going to simply collapse anytime soon - Caelius had gone through worse - it was obvious his weapon was reaching its drawback point. Wasting energy on an old grudge was a costly gamble.

He had no choice but to resort to purely basic attacks to kill time: there would be another time when the Death Hunter would get his revenge.

"Ladies first," Caelius began - and then moved as quickly as he said it, weapon moving in close range for the kill. "Then again, I don't see any here, hmm?"

Attack: (13 - 6) = 7 damage
HP: ???/???

Apparently there was always time for bromance. he didn't bat an eye as the Scimitar swordsman came up next to him, if anything it just made Leon smirk wider in confidence. "Dance? no, my footwork is used for much better things, like punching peoples lights out." he said smugly and waved the weapon at the horsewoman that was nary a foot away.

Well, why don't we show you how to ta-an... hey wait!" he cried out at the monsters sudden disappearance toward their leader. "I think we just got snubbed Marc." he said astonishingly. "The nerve, hit and run. These creatures have no manners."

I didn't belch this time though.

"Good to be back." Shehk grinned at Mot. "Keeper of the Peace then." she corrected. "Jack only knows we need a bit of it right now." She looked as the other reaper, Johann was it?, began to get to work with recreating the runes, the edges around her eyes tightening a bit. Not a leer, but her senses suddenly hiked up. Her ears perked up and her pupils dilated, the light bleeding from her eyes dimming. The glow seemed to be a reflection of how much light she needed to get into her eyes to see at a given time. Her tail twitched and she seemed to be trying to take in a certain immediate surrounding to them.

There was a certain 'bubble' if nothing else.

"It's fine, Sammy. I wasn't exactly the most articulate about what I wanted either. Blind hysteria isn't helpful, even if it is from me. You made a proper judgement call, I flopped around like a fish out of water. It happens. We're making it better now. See?" she smiled, ruffling the ghoul's hair as well (whoops, bloody hand all over! She kinda looked bad). However, it seemed that when Demi patted her back, Shehk's tail puffed up in an awkward way.

"ah-ah! Careful! I got vroom-vroomed back there.." she paused, making a face, as though she was trying to figure out what she'd just said. What..? "..Chainsawed. Might I add those ******** are unpleasant.." she grinned. "I don't recommend it. Trust me on this one." she laughed a bit, though her back still hurt. Chainsaw and fire..she was lucky to not be bleeding through that wound still.

She had enough bludgeoning going on to be honest. When Mandy started to fuss with her bag, Shehk's ears perked up at the strips of cloth.

"s**t son, do we have anybody right here who need to be patched up?" she asked, surveying her group of companions.. and conveniently not touching on the fact that both sides of her head had made contact with rock and turned her hair into a mass of bloody-red and silver. "We should patch ourselves up, then get into as good of a defensive position as we can. The hunters don't seem as...patient with their spare time as we are.."

She glanced over towards where Eris and Caelius were doing battle. Hrngh...

Well damn. After hearing the voice searing through her mind, she wanted to smack Red right out of whatever funk she was in. But her taking flight, well, that wasn't exactly conducive to that plan. She didn't have any sort of long ranged attack, so she'd have to sit this little round out. However, that didn't mean she would do nothing. She made her way of to Shehk once more and hugged the ghoul. "It'll be ok. We'll get her back, and then everything will be ok. We'll fix this, and we'll get an explanation."

She wanted to be comforting, and let the ghoul know with out any shadow of a doubt that she was not alone. Whisper would stand by her, no matter what actions would be taken. That could be said about the entire group, but she knew that Shehk needed it the most.
