She was a bit troubled as she had walked away from the Reaper and the area in general. She wanted to go somewhere quiet, private to talk to Pepin. Lattice risked a glance over her shoulder to see if the other ghoul was in fact following her before she stopped walking trying to figure out where to go but no place seemed more private than one's dorm room unless Pepin knew of a better place. Lattice had reasons for her uncertainty for she had never been involved in such a deep level of intrigue before.
"Do you know of a place where we can talk in private? I think it might be best if we discussed a plan of action before we went scrambling everyone into action," Lattice observed quietly for now the area around them was empty of other bodies or so it would seem but then it could all just be a lie.
Would it be best to just keep it between them? Should they involve others? Who all had a piece of Red other than herself? She knew others took some but Lattice couldn't bring herself to remember all the faces that did so the memory was too heartrending.

"HmmmmmmMMMmeeeehmmmmmmmmm~" Pepin was looking over her notepad after their brief interaction with the boogeyman. Nothing could ruin her day with such a story brewing literally beneath her. This very school was about to become a cesspool of information and secrets that once remained hidden under its tiles would now be uprooted. Almost literally.
She'd been idly following Lattice still and paused when she stopped to speak softly. "A place that's not bugged? Well certainly not the Post ro- I mean... er.." she paused to see if Lattice had caught on and if she did make note of it she'd simply pretend it was never said.
"What about your room?" she asked curiously. "Mine's boring and Redensek and the 404s might bother me for attention." That was of course a statement reflective of her vanity. If anything they feared her and would run at the immediate sight of her returning to the room.
"How bout your place hm?" She'd enjoyed Riyo's room, there was no doubt in her mind Lattice's would be pleasant too!

If Lattice caught on there was no indication other than a minor nod as she continued to walk forward, "I shall lead you to my room, as far as I am aware there is nothing out of place there." Lattice painstakingly checks each time she comes and goes to her room that everything is where it needs to be.
Once it was decided the Engraver waved for Pepin to follow her as she made her way toward the Ghost Dorms. Lattice seemed to be getting much better at finding her way around and to places she needed to go and thus it was a rather short trip when they arrived at her ink smudged door.
Lattice opened the door, "May I offer you some tea or something while we visit?"

"Okay!" Pepin smirked as she followed her fellow columnist through their corridor. When she felt they were no longer earshot of the boogeymen or any students from the retirement announcement she cooed. "Lattice, alot of the students were upset. You even said yourself- OOH TEA! Yes please-" she replied, hovering in and pulling out the eyephone now she had kept with high security.
"Red was the one in this video right?" she asked as she pressed the play, though mainly letting her hear the audio. "The one in the hallway when there was a big fight ordeal..."
Sadly this was probably the last recording anyone would have of the gym teacher. Pepin had yet to realize the weight of it.

Lattice smiled a bit at the response over the tea, "Any flavor you want in particular? I have all kinds," she said quietly and then began to put the kettle on to boil while moved closer to give the recording a listen and after a moment she nodded, "Yes that was her. The one that was...taken from us."
She wasn't sure how to think about this circumstance at all or even what to do with it. The whole thing just seemed to get sadder as time went on and she just wasn't certain how to cope.
"That sounds like quite a situation that you have caught. How did you come by the footage?" Lattice asked quietly.

"Anything's fine I don't usually drink tea but it sounds like a good i- i- i- dea," Pepin rolled onto her back and held up the phone for a little while longer before closing out of the screen that was playing the audio.
"Well you see about a week ago this happened. (If it happened ICly a week ago, whatever rofl)" began the glitch. "I had my Meat Shield- Mot. He's a reaper. Anyway I had him take this when I ran away." At one point in the video she had blurted over the intercom and that was when chaos ensued around the hallway.
"So now what did you mean by a lie. Red died and they are pretending its retirement? That's what I got out of it. What a mess for some wedding gift scandal," Pepin snorted. "Censoring the word to the people is just wrooooong-" she sighed, the last bit of her moping was monotone like the ease of access voices on computers."

Lattice paused thoughtfully as she eventually took out a tin that had the word 'blackberry' labeled on it and when the water was ready she started to get everything brewed and ready for them to enjoy. She paused at the name Mot and smiled a bit, "I know of Mot, he is a very nice boil. It seems he was very helpful to you," she responded to Pepin. Honestly the helpful nature of the cowboil didn't surprise her. Oh that Mot. Helping everyone and everything!
"Yes that is what I mean by lie," she confirmed as she went to bring Pepin a cup of tea, "it is disgraceful how they are treating this and just covering it up. It isn't right. I know...it is ...I guess unusual from what I gathered from the boogeyman back at the ceremony but still that doesn't mean it should be covered up. This seems much bigger than just a simple wedding scandal..."
The ghoul went to get her own tea cup, "I have...a piece of Red's remains in my prayer shrine, if you would like to see it for yourself."

"Very helpful indeed. And did not complain about it at all, he is such a good boil." Pepin cooed as if she were talking about a minipet. What act of helping he did do for her she considered intrusive; that being him trying to get her out of her hideout locker shed stolen the eyephone from.
Pepin tried to be careful taking the tea but even with her flickering image she was still a little unsteady with it. Managing to take a sip or two she hovered in the air with her legs crossed and pretended to be fancy.
"Well its a shame I wasn't there to see it myself," no remorse from the objective ghoul. "Since how can they lie if I had gotten data of it yanno?" she pouted and took a few sips. "Quite ridiculous." Blinking at the mention of prayer shrine she gave Lattice a momentary look of disbelief. "Remains? Oh? Well then what does that mean about their lie? Hard evidence IS hard!"

Lattice smiled lightly, "He is very patient and good, yes," she agreed softly reminiscing for a moment on a talk she had with him back at the Haunted House. Other than getting a small inkling creature it was probably one of her best and fondest memories of the place even if it did happen after a very major fight between herself and Hel but still it was nice to sit and just talk to him.
The ghoul took a sip of her tea and just paused a bit at Pepin's words and shifted her good shoulder, "...It was very ... life changing," she observed as she set her tea cup down for a moment to go to her shrine.
The doors of the shrine open and she went to get the piece of bone, "It is indeed a horrible lie and if this helps us get to the bottom of it then...I am glad I picked it up," she said softly as she moved to bring the bone over toward Pepin so she could see for herself.

Pepin craned her neck curiously to get a look at the bone with wide eyes. "Goodness!" she gasped. "Now.. wait a minute, so is that why the Boogeyman wanted to speak to us? I mean there's got to be a reason, AS ILLOGICAL AS THE FUNCTIONS ARE IN MY HEAD I do know a thing or two about logarithms in Halloween. Dead things are undead or ghosts. There is just no.."
She paused and froze like she was about to explode then with the palms of her hands made a small burst of pixels accompanied with a "POOF!"
"So Red or not ya see what I'm saying? This is just wierd all over!"

She listened to Pepin's words and she didn't understand all of them but she got the general gist that she had apparently blown the other ghoul's mind with her evidence. She cradled the piece of bone in her palms as she nodded a bit sadly, "Yes it is very strange. Professor Red had transformed at some point and became this large creature it is hard to describe for me since I do not have complete sight but...It was terrifying to behold either way. Her remains were very, very large ... Too large for us to take back with us without breaking it to pieces."
...Her shoulders slumped, "Some of the enemy got parts of Red too," Lattice observed bitterly.
Lattice tilted her head, "She said we cannot die, it is often said that we cannot but...I can't help but have my doubts now..."

"Of the enemy?" This was new to Pepin.
"What enemy? What is going on >8" the ghoul pouted now clinging to her tea like a child listening to a bedtime story.

Lattice paused a bit at this, "Oh? You did not know? There are these figures that...are apparently hunting our kind...Some have called them false reapers but I believe they are also called Hunters...They seem to be a group of humans with ... special weapons...From what I gather is ... They take our kind and turn us into those weapons," she explained her brow furrowing a bit behind her mask at the memory.
"I had gotten captured at some point and I ... heard the process from where I sat in my cage," she shuddered quietly, "it is terrible."
