Gem had been dreaming for a long long time. It was probably for this reason that the sudden vision didn't seem to break his stride too much. He'd taken one look at the selections available to him and had duly decided that the crown looked delicious. Then he had woken up. All in all it had been a very strange few moments, and he wasn't entirely sure if it was supposed to happen. After all he'd already seen any number of fantastic and impressive things that day, exciting smells and sounds, even little boxes with lights in that danced like stars in his blurry vision. He'd tried to taste almost everything, even the people who passed them, he'd gotten some admonishments for licking passers by until he'd stopped and settled on the merchandise.
The shadow things did not smell like good news, their quick and erratic movements upsetting. He wanted to stamp on them, they were eating all the good things he hadn't yet had a chance to nibble on. This was entirely unacceptable.
"It's not?" he asked Joe, flicking his tongue in their direction. "What should we do?" It was hard to keep the irritation out of his tone, this shop was one of the more interesting ones, he was not feeling very patient with these little creatures today.

Clueless of what was happening to the weird behaviour of the shadowlings, the missing of her Meowstache pushed her nerves further. Arynek wasn't sure where it went, it just jumped out from her bosom when the crowd began to scream, tears were swinging in her eyes. What should she do?
"Ex-excuse me! Anyone see my cat around?" Creeple would notice a feeble soft voice coming from a cloaked figure even she tried to raise her voice, most of her face was hidden inside the cloak, and the cloak was "waving" restlessly as if it was alive. The cloaked ghoul really wasn't comfortable without holding her cat, she felt nervous and uneasy around strangers, her pale face blushed like a scaremato.

There were more? Great. Just great. Never a dull moment around this place was there? At least when that one disappeared it dropped his crown... Looking around, it seemed that creeple were okay, for the most part. They were getting together in groups, which was good. If one of these things attacked then there was a mob of creeple on it's shadowy a**. He hissed as one of the creatures came close to him, taking a swing at it.

A normal day of shopping at the Maul. Just one normal day, was that so difficult to ask for? As the screams and bellows from within the mall began, the rabbit boy would close his eyes with a sigh. Normal was not an option in the town of Halloween. Standing up from the bench, the boy would proceed to close his newly purchased copy of 'The Starving Games' and place it back into his bag, before hoisting it over his shoulder and casually making his way towards the exit, which to no surprise, was blocked, "Well, now what?"
His question was quickly answered by the ghoul a short distance away who seemed to be searching for something. Being as the polite boy was, he couldn't let a lady remain in distress, especially in circumstances like this. As he casually strolled between the panicked crowds towards the girl, he'd notice the dark creatures around that seemed to be causing the commotion. Ignoring this fact, he continued on towards her, "Excuse me, miss? Do you require assistance?" he asked in a very straightforward, rather emotionless manner as his eyes seemed to gaze upon the ghoul unfocused.

Carrol hadn't been hiding. Nope. He'd just ducked into the middle of a rack of clothes to see if he could liberate any of them for free in the midst of all of this chaos. And fine, he was a little scared too. It was only after a couple of shadowlings surrounded him and forced him out that he made his way into the maul proper. He was wearing a hawaiian shirt that was at least fourteen sizes too large for him, and had a gaudy bracelet or five clasped around his tail.
If he survived, this would be the best day ever.
The boil skittered past a fountain, then past a ghoul in a cloak. He thought she had said something about a cat. "What's it look like?" he shouted. "The cat." There was really no reason for him to be so loud, he just felt like yelling. He waved a hand at the bunny kid who was already speaking to her, giving the other boil a lopsided and slightly manic grin.

Kat looked over at the ghoul asking around for her cat but as she herself had not seen the furry creature she discarded the question. It was not her job to look for a missing cat when she had shadowlings trying to eat her and the other people around her. If anything it was her duty to use her claws to try to stop the creatures. Sighing she tells herself in her head that if she did in fact see the cat in question she would try to get it back to it's owner. Otherwise she would just continue to try to keep herself from getting eaten. Growling slightly as another starts chomping on her off the shoulder jacket she takes a swipe at it causing it to stop and jump back. "Is there no end of these buggers?" She hissed out as she did another attack at the group slowly surrounding her. As it was, she was finally starting to feel winded.

The reaper took note of the introduced names and filed them away for later. Who knows, maybe they'll run into each other in the Maul again next time! She seemed to pause when it came for her turn to provide her name, pressing a finger to lips pursed in thought. She angled her head, slightly, just enough to show she seemed to be second guessing herself when the shadowlings began multiplying like crazy!
And there went Touchstone, taking considerable damage while dishing out just as good. Ruth found she liked it very much and would appreciate it not going away due to shadowlings. While she also appreciated Kari (a fellow reaper to boot) and her efforts, the marlboro monster looked in more need.
She raised a finger to Kari, as if asking her fellow reaper to give her but one moment. And then she was off skating towards Touchstone to plant a great big kiss on its lips. Ruth may have pulled away with the faintest hint of a high. She was certainly grinning wide enough when she skated back up to Kari, giving the ghoul a thumb's up in the process. Whether it was an after-effect of kissing a marlboro on the mouth, or whether it was just Ruth's own twisted sense of humor, she finally introduced herself by lifting her skirt.
And revealing tight, short shorts with the name RUTH monogrammed on the back.

Than's fingers curled tight around Merry's own, clinging to her as though his life depended on it, which it very well might. "Is nevers to be so veryvery easylike..." He murmured, leaving off a few of the usual verys to allow for expedience. Good eye lidding for a minute, he gave the ghoul at his arm a squeeze, and then he stepped forward.
They were coming up out of the ground now, and he was sure as hell that he wasn't going to leave the lady to do all the work. Baring fangs in his best attempt at an intimidating snarl, he began to eyeball the nearest shadowlings as potential targets. "Than is not at all likings the bigger ones..."
And that was the moment that the Fae-Hound nearly kicked the spider.
He'd noticed Estelle, but only out of the corner of his eye, depth perception lost a long time ago, and never mourned. With a yelp he turned, robes spinning about him, nigh-on shrouding the diminutive hound's frame in excess fabric. Thannas had been tensed and poised to deliver an emphatic round-house when violet eyes managed an actual assessment of the situation. Oh OOOOOOOOOOH! HE HAD SEEN THIS SPIDER BEFORE!
His gaze lit up and he momentarily threw his surroundings to the winds, hunkering down but a few inches from Estelle, suddenly meeting the familiar's gaze. Or at least one set of them. "HELLOES! Youses and you!" There was a bit of pointing to Billy as well, the small fey's features turning upwards in ecstatic greeting. "Than saw thee at Halloweenlike, but did not at all be getting to say hi!" He trilled then, slapping hands on his own knees before hoisting himself up to his full, less than impressive height."Thee is a veryveryvery pretty arachnid!"
Than had been wanting to talk to the spider for quite some time.
"Doesn't thee thinklike?" That casually mentioned to Ixel, as he'd noted the Anima demon's presence, and transitioned flawlessly into asking him questions. It was only after the query that a clawed hand was thrust forth. "Helloes. Than is Than. Yous be kicking badlings too...?" And it seemed this guy had friends, as the pup noted Yvette and Vesper as well. Heh. They might actually have a party going on here.
Now. It would probably be good manners to attempt to assist Billy with his Shadowling problem. The Spider would probably NOT be his friend if the Fae-hound allowed her person to get eaten.
So he aimed claws at the one that Billy was currently targeting.

So according to her clothing, the ghoul's name was Ruth. Kari chuckled at her antics and noted the fact that she was a healer as she turned to the two boils that had joined the group. She had to smile at how quickly a ragtag group had come together at a single shout. One appeared to be a quiet, scrawny-looking zombie, while the other seemed to be a playful demon dog. The ghoul stood and tapped her finger to her bottom lip for a moment as she tried to decide how to handle the sudden influx of new group members before finally deciding to take them on one at a time starting with the one who's name she'd overheard.
"Van... was it?", she asked carefully to assure the accuracy of the name. "Judging by what you did earlier, I take it you're a healer?" "And you..." , Kari paused for a moment, debating how to speak to the zombie "Well, a name or alias first would be nice... it would be problematic to not be able to refer to you directly", she finally said, noting the sword in his ragged hand. "You're a warrior, correct?"
Feeling she had a good handle on everyone in the group, Kari then stepped back one pace to address them collectively, any semblance of shyness gone in the face of her strategics. "Touchstone, since you seem to be the only one capable of high-damage attacks, you'll be our frontal attacker, just... watch yourself... from what I saw, you tend to get a bit gungho with your attacks", the ghoul finished with a small chuckle, the previous tyrade still fresh in her mind.
"You... urm...well, you're a warrior like me, so we'll both probably spend most of our time defending the others alongside fighting our own skirmishes", she started with a slightly embarassed smile at the zombie for the stumble in her speech. "Just be mindful of your own health as you're fighting and we should be good to go."
"Ruth and Van, since you're both healers, you're primary objective would be to keep an eye on everyone's health... though I have a feeling Touchstone's going to be the priority healing target", Kari grimaced at the thought that popped into her mind. "Including your own... it would be nice to have another healer or two around to lighten the burden a bit so you wouldn't both have to worry as much about your own health... though I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
As she opened her mouth to say more, her attention was diverted by a shadowling that had chomped down on her hand. "Excuse me!", she growled as she raised her hand up and slammed the shadowling into the ground, leaving nothing more than a blackened stain where it had landed. Blowing on her hand to ease the sting of the bite marks, she turned back to the group to finish addressing them. "So... what do you guys think? Any questions or suggestions?"

Billy was sort of confused by all the commotion but fueled with the sort of teenage machismo that tended to strike when there were a lot of tough ghouls around. The boil had to prove himself to be tough! Tougher than some females at least... The farmboil was red in the face, fighting the shadows and the embarassment of landing only one lame hit with his fist before he was swarmed again.
Estelle on the other hand had decided that Thannas was just the most precious and instead of battling had skittered up his back to hang out for a ride.

Van was rocking back and forth, soles of his canvas sneakers squeaking against the Maul floor. His brain was full of happy images of foods. Foods, and a lot less... mauling. On the inside, his brain was like:
Lifted from his mouth-watering revelry when he heard his name being spoken, Van looked over at the ghoul who was trying to build a battle plan for them-- and he couldn't remember meeting her?"You're not my pack!" he proclaimed, firmly, his voice (again) too loud, ears flat against his head. Van bounded off, and then immediately slinked back. "I'm not here for you," he told her, sullenly, before looking back at Touchstone.
"Let's try this again," Van suggested, his face looking distinctly downcast. He had an ET moment, reaching out one finger towards Touchtone. Well, at least it did something this time.

The bat-wielding reaper's head tilted left then right then left again as she listened to Kari speak and come up with a battle plan. Oooh things were getting organized and put to order, something that normally made Ruth skittish and uncooperative. But as the wave of shadowlings seemed endless, she figured there was enough chaos to overwhelm what little order this small group managed to muster. Which was why she tucked her bat under her arm and flashed a smile as well as demonstrated her opinion:
She also winked but since both her hair and the bill of her cap tended to obscure her eyes no one would know. It just seemed relevant it be pointed out and Huni likes being this sort of harmless meta.
Ruth was about to skate after Van but he came back of his own accord. The reluctance in the boil had Ruth gliding on over and reaching out with her free hand as if planning to ruffle the canine boil's fur. As she skated towards him, the loose hold on her weapon allowed her to give the undead boil a passing wave:

Taken aback at the sudden outburst from Van, Kari couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at the demon dog. "Well...", she mumbled while fighting back tears, her confidence broken from being yelled at so suddenly, "Touchstone made it clear that they wanted us to be part of a group, so... I'm not sure what I did to offend you... but... we need to figure something out if we both want to make it out of this alive." She finished with her vision downcast towards the ground as she wondered what she'd done to make things go so wrong.
Kari caught movement out of the corner of her eye, Ruth was gliding over to Van while waving. Was the ghoul actually going to say something? Was she going to attack him? Kari paled as Ruth put out a hand to pet him. Kari hoped with all her might that Ruth didn't come back with a stump.

And all of a sudden Than had a giant spider for a backpack. She wasn't sure whether to laugh, nudge the spider off her friend, or just roll with it.
The latter won out as the chimera noticed Billy was left to his own, and she moved to his side, knocking a few of the fat bodied shadowlings away with wing and tail, but receiving a bite to the ankle when she failed to notice one of the beasts creeping towards her. "Jack damn! These things are everywhere." She aimed a kick for the one that'd bit her, but it skittered away back into the crowd.
