Those closest to Ceres would hear the voice too: calm and soothing. Promising. They were doing the right thing. She was one of them. they were the same.
And after they fought the good fight they could go home together.
What did the other Hunters know anyway, all they knew was how to fight. The fog curling around them was barely noticeable, all that mattered was protecting their own kind.

- All Hunters protecting Ceres/ sympathetic to the Insanity gain +20% Insanity - They also begin to hear other voices, voices that are oddly familiar. - They can hear each other's thoughts and Ceres's, and most of all voice telling them to protect Home

Coming through the fog wasn't meant to be a bad thing. In fact, she was sure that most times, when someone exited the dense fog filled with illusions to trick the mind, they felt relieved. But when Riley showed up at the battlefield, Malodore clutched firmly at her side, and looked at the sheer chaos she'd just walked into - after such tender and quiet moments in the fog..
Well, she wanted the fog back.
Good mood. Over. Riley growled, releasing Malodore just enough to make sure it did not stray. The first thing she did was march over to what very clearly did not look like a natural barrier holding someone inside, and watched her fellow students accidentally each other for a few minutes.
She took a few steps back, moved Malodore even further away, and then struck the barrier herself. Her luck held out a little better than those she'd seen thus far.

Ofelia thought she heard his voice, saw his weapon attacking.
Yes - yes! There he was attacking the other monster. What had happened to the first? It was like it was all a blur now, Ofelia could barely think straight, and she pushed herself upright (why was she sitting down) and started over towards Before. When she reached how close she could get to him she called out his name right before dropping to her knees. "CLOOOVEEERRR...."
Lex gave the blonde Moon a crinkled up nose, cocking the gun. "Ryan, move." He actually hissed the words, taking another shot at the Moon. He needed a clear shot at the Insanity thing.
The shot landed at his feet. He'd pass it off as a warning shot.

Deryk's eyes went unfocused for a moment as he heard something soothing. They were doing the right thing. They were protecting home. The voices had gotten louder in his head. They could all go home if he kept this up. If they kept this up.
"Keep on protecting her.. Yes. Yes. Can all go home this way. No more have to go. Everyone can be safe. At home. Yes.." he murmured.

Arel might have babbled something nonstop but it was entirely nonsensical. He didn't move from his spot, fixated on some nonexistant figure in front of him.

Ryan responded by digging his feet into the ground. No matter how much he asked, or attacked, the moon trainee wouldn't budge. He wouldn't allow them to kill Ceres like they had Bix. Not while he was around. If he had had any doubts in his head, the voices quickly removed them, leaving him with the feeling that what he was doing was right and thoughts of home.
This was the right thing to do, he was sure of it. He would protect her, or he would die trying.
"No." He growled out again, confirming his choice.

Ami pointed her gun straight at Jason.
"You best back up." Her voice was hollow, almost like it hurt to use it. When she deemed him a safe distance away, she shook her head and fished through her pocket for her runic bandages. Only one roll left. She hated giving supplies away, especially to newbies who would probably waste them.
Marcus would've wanted her to. No, worse yet, Junpei would've wanted her to. She sighed and tossed them to the man. "Get away. Just get away."

Ariane blinked, shivering slightly as she continued to defend the monster; she heard something about home, and for once, didn't try to fight it. They were in this together...
Hm, the view of Ryan's butt is fantastic from this angle.
That thought would be shared among everyone, unbeknownst to her.

"Ha. I got a lot of practice, on account of how you keep falling for me~," Harrison said, grinning and playing with the fur on Rep's collar. He leaned right back, feeling similarly blissful.
"Orders are we're supposed to be killing the students, you wanna go take them out? ...Or you got something else in mind?"

Deja vu was not even the proper word for something one experiences time and time again, as this was becoming a cycle. It always seemed the witch's touch brought forth a whimper from her eternally hurt zombie, but Belladonna refused to move her hand. He was here, now, alive and well and she would have to be pulled by at least three people bigger than she before she would give up her tender hold on Mort. Not that it would have been awfully difficult to find those three people... Regardless, Belladonna set about quickly composing herself, her free hand quick to wipe away her tears. By the time she'd finished, though once her eyes had begun leaking they were reluctant to stop, Mort had rose to a sitting position, a hand over his eyes. "Here..." She mumbled as she shifted to his side, so that her shadow fell over him. Speaking of helping... One of her hands moved to hover palm up in the air, where one of her tarot cards quickly appeared. After a second of concentration the card bloomed into a very small full moon, the size of a billiard ball, that hovered above the witch's palm. Sure to still concentrate she held it above Mort, where its little light fell to heal him, if only for a little bit. The glow did not last altogether too long, but before it fully diminished, the witch brought it to her heart so that its little light faded against her skin. "That's only the second time that's worked... You must be a good luck charm."
As for his question, that was a bit tougher to answer. A look at Arel revealed his sudden... Distraction from an unknown source. That was very, very bad, because if he couldn't keep it together, well... At least Seething had gone over to assist him. "Quite a lot, but I don't fully know... Just.. Try to rest for a moment." She flashed him a tired smile, but turned her face toward the battle. So many sides had been picked, odd sides that pitted the same faction against each other. And what about the last student? Now they had a barrier? Hecate, what else could be thrown their way before this was all over? With a start the witch realized she hadn't seen a single Horseman and immediately hope Sal and the others were alright. For if this group was dealing with something so large and odd, it could only mean that something equally odd and unrelenting could be happening to them. As though he might vanish from underneath her, Belladonna let her hand fall back to Mort's shoulder, gently in case it really did hurt, but still there. He was still there.

Man was this thing a Halloween deterent? None of the students around him (except Riley when she edits her post) were even touching it.
His strike once more recoiled and hit Danny. While he knew it really was an accident he was glad it was hitting the one who keeps hitting his ghoulfriend and not actually hitting his ghoulfriend. Maybe Danny and he could recalibrate their attacks by doing so. Hopefully before someone lost an eye. (Oh wait, too late for Mei

"The hell is wrong with people?!" Before exclaimed in exasperation, more to himself than to anyone in particular. He hadn't tried defending Ceres, couldn't have heard the voices whisper their reassurance. He was, at that moment, a little too preoccupied with the fact that BIX WAS DEAD. And they didn't know what became of his body! He was rushing forward, ducking stray blows and wayward weapons as he frantically searched for the pale-haired Sun Hunter.
Then he heard someone call for Clover and when he glanced back he saw Ofelia, "Dinah!" he shouted, "Dinah! HELP ME FIND MY BRO!!!!" he begged, terror and concern and dread dread dread running across his features.

Easy enough. Only, it wasn't as easy as it first looked. Riley's second swipe, far more tentative this time, bounced off of the barrier completely and made her swing around. There was no one to take her swing, but she was beginning to realize why everyone was hurting each other so much.
And she was secretly glad she wasn't trying to hit it so hard.
As well as not so secretly glad she'd moved Malodore far, far away from the barrier and all its assailants.
