"Well, I imagine nobody will be respawning from dissipation in the Nurse's Office, anyways." Invictus agreed, however.... "I would say that these trials have been watered down for the sake of the students here. Not everybody here prepares their entire lives for these, after all." With that, he nodded to the undead boil.
"I am Invictus, Heir to the Clan of Conquest." he introduced in turn. Polite, but slightly stiff. It was a hefty introduction, at all - a Horseman heir. "They will fare fine, as this is simply a..formality by with the clans of the Horsemen will look at the student body and ponder over them. I have already spent much time pondering over Amityville since I came here, so...it is their turn to see what I have seen already."
He pondered if the others of his clan would hold the same ghoul in particular interest as he did. Yes, a fine specimen of ambition, Lady Mindflayer was. Even if they had their own spats about. That was simply how it went.
The fact he was being flailed over was not missed, but he did not address it in particular. It wasn't the first time.

King was dazed for a while, up there, in front of the bleachers. It was surreal. He was lost and confused and cat. Cat. Cat. CatcatcatctacatcatIn his bid to cat just... try and ignore it, he'd begun to cat dig in the sand. Except... that cat didn't work. He was a cat white wolfos who usually melted into cat snow. Now trying that cat in sand and cat nope. Just got into his cat clothes. Grumbling the cat smell was still cat present. He just- he needed to get over it. It cat was going to cat be there and cat he'd cat have to cat deal. Huffing as he made his cat way over to the scent source he got ready to cat force himself to just get used to being so cat close. Only thing was- another cat scent. A familiar cat one. He didn't recognize cat it before but now up cat close? He knew it. "Tomo-chan?" The tails were more than he remembered, but it had been a long time. Her companion was the one who smelled very... interesting. This was.. yes. Interesting. CAT

Mitsu furrowed her brow a little as Shun told her what to type but went ahead and did it anyway. After the message was carefully made she sent it to Xiu Kaiyumi Text from Shun:I believe so, unfortunately. But that isn't to say you can't get him at another time. He'll get what's coming to him soon enough. This is Mitsu btw. Also look look look! Immediately after Xiu would find a picture accompanied with another text. Text From Shun  Isn't he so cute! His name is Lafayette. OuO After having used Shun's phone for her own purposes she turned to the tiny alligator in her lap. " Yes, texting is like writing in a way. You can send messages to other people that way. Look. I also took your picture." Mitsu turned the phone screen so that Lafayette could have a look at himself. Never mind that Shun now had a picture of a tiny gator on his phone. Mitsu would have to send it to herself in a bit. Ol-j-man I had no idea exactly what Lafayette looked like so I just winged it 8D;

"Sludgesticks!" That was all Shenny could say. Lumi was correct: that boil was really... really... well, he was handsome, and he looked powerful; one couldn't determine his age, but nevertheless, there was something appealing to her very nature in the atmosphere around him. Shenny took a deep breath, and looked over the boil again, now paying more attention to the details. "Quite strange outfit", she noticed. "Stylish.. but unusual. He looks like a reaper, but there's something strange about him.. could he be.. a horseman? May be even a noble one? At least, his clothes look brilliant." "Hey!" Shenny elbowed Lumi. "Let's go and get acquainted! There might be no good chance later."

" Invictus, a weighty name for a weighty title." this boil had been an observer to the happenings of the school for almost the entire duration that Valentino had been in his lab. This was more than just useful information, it was a chance for Valentino to find out what had happened since he had last been in class. " You've been an observer to our academy? I'm not surprised that you never saw me. I've been... Occupied in my lab" Valentino had heard from this boil that there was no one that he was rooting for, but something about how he kept on looking into the distance made Invictus' words seem a little hollow. There was somebody on this Horseman's mind.
"tell me, is there someone now that you are still observing?" he'd asked, hoping to pry a bit more out of Invictus. He knew nothing of the new intrigue at the school, and Sally wanted the latest gossip.

"I am watching your Student Council President." Invictus didn't mince his words in the least as he nodded off towards where Riley and her group were working. She may have been one of few he could say he regarded...fondly... in any which way, as the others were mostly neutral to him, thus he was more willing to speak that he was indeed observing her.
"The Lady Mindflayer should do well with these trials, I would hope. I would hate to think she would.... disappoint me." He weighted his words carefully as he spoke, the implication clear - he wasn't one to be disappointed willy-nilly. He was like his father in that way, though he had less of an opportunity to suddenly destroy all of existence like dear old dad would have.
A shame, really. He would like to try it.

"Xiu is one of the contenders in the trial," Shun explained. The rest, Mitsu said, so he didn't bother repeating. Falling silent after that, he looked around for the moment to see how things were going. The teams were building away at their structures. And quite frankly, this was a little dull to watch. Off to the side though, he spotted the Heir to Conquest, who seemed to be drawing a bit of a crowd to himself. Considering the nature of these trials, he supposed that was bound to happen. Just looking around, he didn't spot the other three just yet. Perhaps they were hiding from these crowds.

" oh the mindflayer, yes, I've always admired the illithid's ability to take a brain alive and whole in a single bite. Would do wonders for my research." Valentino couldn't help but smile. His sweetest dream was for a room full of brains in jars. " I'm sure she knows the stakes of this contest. If you'll forgive me for saying so, I doubt that anyone has ever disappointed you twice." Valentino chimed before Sally could shush him. Valentino wondered if there was a dungeon that Clan Conquest kept those who disappointed Invictus. Thinking that it was time to change the subject, Valentino ignored Sally's advice and asked the question that had begun to eat him up as he talked to Invictus and realized that he was a horseman, " for my own curiosity's sake Invictus, as a horseman, how long would it take for you to end everything on this beach? I've always been a sucker for efficient slaughter" "

Dangerous territory? Oh, he lived in the danger zone. Danger was his middle name. Oh wait, no it wasn't. His middle name was Cedrick. Well. Danger could be his second middle name.
Ooooh, text messages? "OH. OH. SHE'S TEXTING YOU?" He asked as his new lady friend started to drag him away. "TELL HER SHE CAN HIT THIS ANY TIMEEEE~"
Alright. Now back to the matter at hand. Literally. "Yes. My name is Loucious Cedrick Ferre, but you can call me Lou. Hell, you can call me whatever you want, since that's what I'm going to do to you." At least he was honest. That was about the only redeeming quality the boil had. "Oh, you know. Shootin' the s**t, browsing and carousing. Plenty of lonely women on the beach, I'm sure. Maybe I'll be able to get with a human chick. Wouldn't that be something? Not that my standards are that high. I assure you, I have low to no standards if you're thinking I might be too good for you. There's too much love I need to spread to be contained by standards." Ah... Hahah... ahh... Honesty... Not always the best policy.
"So what's your name, my chocolatey friend? I'll probably forget it later, unless you plan to stick around." Lowering his shades slightly, he gave the ghoul another wink. There would probably be a lot of that today.

"Loucious, hmm?" She drawled his name out a bit, dimples revealing as she smirked. "Lou's good for me, unless I find something better. Forgot, your head was in da sand, so lemme clear it for you." Her other hand came up, brushed aside any hair covering his ear, and she leaned in to whisper conspiratorially. "Cameron Maveaux, cher. You wouldn't hurt a gal's feelin's by forgettin', now would ya?"
~ ~ ~
OuO "Whoooa . . . I've never had a picture before. Are those good?" He apparently thought it was a food source. "Can I see yours? Or did you eat them too? Also why d'you have a fluffy tail? Are you like Mistah Marroc? Also why're they having trials?" he added to Shun with a tiny frown. "Did Xiu get in trouble? Cam told me something about horses, but I don't see any . . . And why're they making stuff with sand? Sand tastes bad. I tried it once, believe me. Gets stuck in your teeth, can't get it off your tongue, it's so nasty."
He faked gagging, in case they needed visuals.Sexy Cocaine If Lou's visited bars before he might've heard the family name. Maveauxs tend to set up shop around bars telling fortunes, selling ouangas, and in some cases be dancers in certain clubs.

Well, that certainly wasn't a mincing of words, now was it?
His face remained unchanging, almost blank as he was asked about slaughtering the entire beach, giving the contestants a long look, then how many adults there were, then across the way where the Horsemen were watching, as if evaluating the potential of it all.
"Not as quickly as Father would." he finally answered. It was an honest answer, though a very unspecific one. "However, I imagine the Nurse would not like them reforming in her office." he added calmly, "and I do hate needlessly annoying people like that."

Lumi nodded as she regained composure. If nothing else striking up a conversation with such an...well interesting boil might do her some good. And if he was a student even better. Grabbing Shenny's arm she looked at her, "So, shall we go introduce ourselves as...proper ghouls?" She had to giggle slightly at the idea seeing as how she was dressed no one would ever mistake her as proper. "And we never know...maybe he can help two helpless ghouls figure out who to root for. You know if we're harmless enough that is."Every so often turning her head to peak at the contestants. She wasn't completely sure of what exactly they were doing but it seemed as if this boil was very interested in it. Perhaps it would do her well to keep an eye on the trials.

Sally was screaming at Valentino to stop trying to win the contest's idiot award. Here he was talking about the end of everything using a tone normally reserved for discussing afternoon tea! On the other hand, wholesale slaughter had the effect of bringing a smile from ear to ear to Valentino's face. Even the talk of it brought a twinkle into Valentino's eye. " oh Nurse Cricket wouldn't really mind, I bet right now she wishes for more company, I'm sure that in the past she would have far more visitors during the trials." Valentino wistful mused. It was unlikely that Invictus would even raise a finger today, he seemed to be a traditionalist when it came to the apocalypse. " I'm sure that an afternoon apocalypse would probably spoil the spirt of the games." Valentino conceded. " besides I doubt you could do it with all the other horseman here..." Sally was sure at this moment that Valentino must have left his brain back at the lab.

"The Boil", as Shenny named him for herself, was still standing there chatting lazily with another boil. His companion looked as a typical nerd with a violent bloodlust well hidden in his eyes. "You need to be on guard with this one", she thought. "One wrong move, and you're trapped". She elbowed Lumi again: "Come on! Let's hurry". It might not be a good idea to interrupt their conversation, Shenny thought, especially if they are friends, or if they're plotting something. On the other hand, if they're plotting something.. it sounds like a promise of an adventure. What could she possible do to look interesting for this Horseman? If he is a horseman, of course. She took another quick look on him: arrogant, he probably knows his place, and this place is high enough he got used to be satisfied and get what he wants. At least, being a new face here can be her advantage, nobody knows her, so she can pretend to be mysterious and important. "Arrogance", thought Shenny, "we have it ourselves". She only hoped Lumi won't ruin it for both of them, but Lumi looks trustable. Shenny put the most bored, lazy and cocky face she could, and went straight to the boil like a big diva. "Hello! Enjoying the contest?", she asked as carelessly and charmingly, as she could.

"You are severely misinformed. This is the first time the trials have ever been held outside of the coming-of-age ceremony for Horsemen in our homelands. Nurse Cricket would have never had participants from it reforming in her office. We watered it down for that reason." As horsemen, they held themselves to a standard higher than that of any other group, really.
In a nutshell, the Horsemen were the crazy asians from their islands at the end of the world.
However, it seemed like their little conversation was to be joined by some strangers - something that seemed to be the start of all conversations for him, however. He was used to it by that time, after all.
His answer, however, was blunt and his face remained blank even as he gave it; "So far, no." He wasn't impressed. This wasn't impressive. He could see why he would have been encouraged to participate alone if he'd chosen to.
