Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kill? Caelius wanted them to kill the students? Whatever happened to simply capturing them? And as per usual, the Death Division Head didn't seem inclined on providing them any more information beyond that single order.

Eva grit her teeth together, grudgingly summoning Chara and spinning the staff so that the blade was pointing upwards. Her fingers curled tightly around the weapon, knuckles turning white as she looked around. Just how the hell was she supposed to choose who to attack? None of these students were being particularly aggressive towards them. In fact, most of them just looked ready to defend themselves, a perfectly natural response when they were suddenly being attacked.

Though of course, whether she liked it or not...orders were orders, and if the group of reinforcements wasn't an indication that Halloween had decided to fight, then what was? When she saw Jude attack, Eva took a deep breath, steeling herself before swinging her blade out and at the closest Halloween creature.

Pushing her way to her feet again had not been easy. Even less so when Mitsu realized where she was. The canyon. Had it already been a year since they had been here? Her thoughts were muddled and distant, the voices around her muffled in the fog. Staring almost blankly she wondered how they had gotten here all over again. Was it the Haunted House's version of a cruel joke?

Her eyes glanced around lazily. This didn't feel real. It was like she was sitting back at her dorm watching this all on a skelevision. Boogeymen were still running passed even professors were storming out to meet the hunters head on. This really wasn't real. This had to be a dream.

Mitsu's eyes finally focused on Shun and she could see his mouth moving but the words were lost to her. Her expression seemed a little dazed but she managed to catch the end of what Shun had said.

'Together. Do you hear me?'

She didn't react, not at first. Not until a familiar Hunter's face broke away from the fray to attack her reaper. It was like reality came and slapped her in the face, the sensation not unlike coming up for air after having been underwater for too long. At first there was shock that quickly clouded over with fear, the memories this hunter brought back were sufficating. And then....then there was anger, white hot anger that had Mitsu baring her teeth and ready to lunge.

She came in fast the next second, teeth snapping at the Hunter's arm with the intent to clamp down and not let go.

Stats:

Shun's attention was on Mitsu as she seemed dazed. No. He needed her to focus. Before, he could try anything else to snap her out of it, he realized something was coming at him and fast. The Reaper moved out of the way enough to avoid a deep hit, but it wasn't enough to not get hit at all. Narrowing his eye, he got ready to retaliate, pausing for the moment as he saw Mitsu come on around. She had snapped out of it in a huge fury.

Quite frankly, he wasn't sure if he had seen her so pissed before, but right now it worked in their favor. If he had known the reason behind her seething fury, he would be pretty damn pissed himself. But for now, just the fact that this was a hunter they were dealing with was more than enough motivation. Ever since Mitsu's capture, he had been wanting to cut them all apart.

Gripping his daggers, he pressed on, moving to flank the hunter that made the mistake to come after them. He went in for a strike, but that pause he took a moment ago seemed to have been too much.

Also it was probably a good thing that he didn't catch sight of Mot fanboying in the distance.

Stats:

Xiu stared down at Mot disapproving. This was not the time! What was he--

The next thing she knew, there was suddenly an axe buried in the spot where the cowboil's head had just been a moment ago. How in Halloween he had dodged that (and had not even realized that he was being attacked) was beyond her, but if there was a time to attack, it would be now, preferably before the Hunter tried to get in another hit.

Unfortunately, she was a little slow. Casting a quick look downwards to assure herself that the boil was not too badly injured by the strike (and would, with luck realize that now was not the time for fanboying and get up), she struck out at the large hunter, managing to somehow land a decent blow. Her attention, however, was focused more on her friend than on the opponent at hand.

"Mot, GET UP."

Having up gotten up from the floor, Clyde did not see Eva’s blade coming. However, dumb luck seems to be involved when he only received a not very lethal attack from the hunter. Yeesh, this is ridiculous, WHY DOES EVERYTHING END UP WITH DOOM AND FIGHTING? Q H Q

He tried to attack the lady hunter who had attacked him...but Clyde missed miserably...AGAIN.
HE JUST SUCKS AT AIMING DOESN'T HE.

The stairs had gone on forever, and Sherry had started to wonder if taking them had been the right idea. Just as she began to think about turning back, new sounds (the whispers had started to fade a bit), and suddenly the stairs were no more. She was somewhere new.

And from the looks of things, there was a fight going on. "Same old, same old," she said, summoning her weapon.

Stats:

Both sides were attacking now, which meant that he should as well. That was, if he wanted to stay alive. So after spotting another hunter summoning their weapons, the black dog lunged for them. Unfortunately his claws only caught air as he raked them across, aiming for the hunters face.

"Che! Don't think we'll just idly sit by and allow you to dissipate us." He growled out.

No way was he going to dissipate and risk turning into an insanity beast again. Not this time.
