The council had spoken. Jericho had a bit of work to do, but first and foremost, he needed to go speak with Cricket. There were some things that he needed to find out from her, regarding Red. Along with that, he needed to find out if it'd be safe to let her on board with what they were planning on doing here. In the case of the latter, he didn't plan on letting her know just yet.
That would be Riley's job, for whenever he got the information back to her.
At the very least, it wouldn't be hard to find the school nurse. The dragon made his way over towards the office where she was supposed to be.
Stopping by the entrance, he knocked lightly on the door before stepping on in. At first glance it didn't look like there were any injured students around, but he could have overlooked them.
"Nurse Cricket?" he asked while looking around, "If.. you're not busy right now, there's something I'd like to speak to you about."

Almost immediately Jericho had a familiar visitor - the little green dream scareon that had been present at the FEARhealing tool workshop. He barked and chirped and bounced about in excitement at there being a visitor, but the nurse didn't seem to react to the noise immediately. In fact, she was in a very familiar place to find the woman:
At her desk.
She was looking over a picture she had sitting on it, seeming to sigh from time to time with it before she turned it face down and instead turned her attention to the boil who had just walked in. Outside of a few scrapes, bruises, and other 'follow up' visits from the med tent, the ward was relatively empty looking.
"Your leg seems to be fine." she noted, her eyes immediately looking to it before she looked up at the dragon with a sort of usual disinterest. "So I'm going to assume that what you would like to speak to me about is something unrelated to your health."
Quick to the point, if nothing else.

Seeing the little scareon bound up to him, Jericho smiled at the mini, but his attention was soon shifted over towards the ghost in the room. He couldn't really tell what she was looking at, other than it being a picture of some sorts. The first thing she said was certainly to the point.
It was slightly disconcerting in a way, but that didn't stop him from getting onto why he was here.
"Ehe... yeah. My leg is fine now. I actually came here to see if you'd be willing to talk about Red at all," he said after rubbing the back of his neck a bit nervously. He wasn't really sure how she would react to the request. Either she'd go along with it or kick him out, he supposed.

A brief look of.. something flashed over the nurse's face at the dragon's request, but she didn't seem like she was going to immediately throw the boil out of her ward for it, so perhaps things weren't completely disastrous.
"I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to say." Cricket answered, the scareon jumping up onto her lap and curling up contently, the woman reaching down and running her hand over his flickering fur, seeming to react to her touch in a symbiotic manner. It was..interesting, if nothing else. Nothing really of note.
"But if you need me to play counselor, I guess I'm available to do such."

"Well.. I guess that could work. I was wanting to know more what she was like," he said while stepping further in. Jericho wasn't too sure what that look on Cricket's face was a moment ago, but things seemed to be fine for the time being. He figured he'd just have to tread carefully. Though, he did keep the note about what she was allowed to say in mind.
The boogeys must have all the faculty on some sort of watch on what they can reveal and whatnot. But as far as he was concerned, digging a little into the past shouldn't tread into the recent incident. While the info he found about Red posing as a Hunter and getting eaten by her own weapon was... curious to think about, that wasn't why he was here.
"Whatever you're comfortable with revealing at least."

That look flashed over her face again. The past, hmm? It was...interesting, if nothing else, to see how many people were prying into that ghoul as of late. Not that she blamed them, a lot was going on and it seemed it all tunneled back to the werewolf.
It had always sort of been that way.
"Red always got into trouble when we were younger. The Princess Corner served as a secondary home sorts to her. In fact, she had an unofficial Princess Hat to go with it." Cricket seemed to laugh a bit, as though remembering some image of a younger werewolf wearing her silly little hat. "Definitely a rule breaker of the highest degree... though we all were back then. I think I may have gotten into more trouble with Red than with anybody else. I don't think she ever quite grew out of it."
She paused.
"Or were you looking for something more specific?"

That answer was a little bit of a surprise to Jericho. Red was always kicking people into detention it seemed that it was hard to imagine her in a similar position when she was their age. It was also a little strange trying to imagine Cricket getting into trouble with her too for that matter. It showed just how much they knew of their professors and whatnot.
"Heh.. never would have guessed, but yeah I was kinda looking for something a little more specific," he replied, shifting his wings a little while looking at the nurse.
"Like.. what were some of the things she liked. Maybe any goals?" he started before smirking lightly, "Aside from maybe keeping out of the princess corner."

Hm. It seemed the smallest amount of suspicion was aroused by the inquiry about 'specifics' on the werewolf. Specifics, hmm?
"Well, Red has always been a bit of a healthy drinker, though I think the biggest surprise of all things would be Keean." Cricket took a moment to pet Ginko again, the scareon preening in his master's lap approvingly with the affection Oh, loves from the mom-mom-mom!
"Red had a pet for a while, though I was never really quite sure what happened to him. She wasn't as...pet-open after that. One of those things I just never pried into really." Goal wise, that was...questionable. "I think if Red ever had any 'goals' it was to get into trouble without being caught for as long as possible. But that was part of her charm, I guess. She had enough trouble in her for everybody." Cricket seemed amused by the memory.
Siiiigghhhhh.
"She was the kind of ghoul to talk you into sneaking out in the middle of the night to go to a 'no monster' club, pose as a reaper to get in, and then get us all in trouble when she got drunk and werewolf'd it up before falling asleep on the counter."

Listening quietly, Jericho nodded while taking in what was being told. The bit about Keean was something he wondered about but it sounded like Cricket didn't know too much of that herself. Something tragic must have happened, or perhaps the pet did something that she really didn't like that turned her off to them as a whole.
Even so, it sounded like Red really was quite the rebel. To the dragon, that just went along with what they were planning here. In a sense, they were rebelling against this whole 'cover up her death' type of thing. They could easily get into trouble if they weren't careful.
"Sounds like that last bit was from experience," he chuckled.
There was something amusing in the image of a young Red, Cricket, and whoever getting chased out of a bar. Actually, he kind of had to wonder if that looked anything like the Truth or Dare game he sort of heard about.
"I never would have really thought she'd be such a rebel, considering she used to be a boogey.." he murmured, though the comment was more towards himself than an inquiry for Cricket.
