"Much better! My nose doesn't feel like it's burning anymore."
That horrid peppermint scent was still in the air, but is much fresher out here than it was in the theater. The fact that there was no puke out here was also a plus.
"How you holding up, Jove?" He asked, his arm still around the smaller boil as he carried him around the school, while in search of any of the school staff that.
He was hoping that maybe, just maybe, they might have some answers about the sudden invasion of Joy creatures. Though now that he thought of it, he should probably put the wisp down. Last he checked, he didn't like being carried around like this. Something which the black dog could understand completely. He himself hated being treated like a pet.
"Lucky for that fur coat of yours." He said, placing the boil on the floor and grinning at him. "That rat king looked like it could have dealt some nasty damage." The poor pup had been tossed on the floor like a little chew toy because of that very rat king, but thankfully Jove's fur cushioned his fall.
"You were pretty awesome back there. Been practicing?" He asked.

Holding up?
Jove scowled, he was holding up as best he could for someone being carried like a sack of potatoes. Ren did that too, carried him around because he was small and light... It seemed like the gryphon and the black dog were more alike than they would ever admit. Both had some measure of brotherly instinct that kept the pup out of trouble, for the most part.
Although he was able to frown more directly once he was put down, the little wisp was soon starting to puff up with pride. His coat was awfully fluffy, that cushioned tail had broken his fall quite wonderfully. And yes, he had been practising! Jove bared his teeth in an affirmative reply, the missing teeth on the left side of his mouth in various stages of growing back. If Tybalt noticed, surely he was becoming tougher with all his practice!
With an adventurous bristle of his fur, Jove trotted down the empty hallway, his glowing eyes scanning every shadow and his nose lifting for the telltale scent of peppermint. What was going on, to make the place so empty?

After the attack int he school cafeteria by the giant pudding monster, Amphi had found it high time to leave the eating facility and make her way back to her dorm. There was no way she could fight a bunch of Christmas monsters! The mermaid sighed as she walked through the hallways, It was so quiet with the invasion, could she consider herself lucky then?
Her walk through the halls started to wear on her, was she lost already? Part of her wouldn't doubt it either as she got lost often.
As she turned the corner, she saw two figures head her way. More Christmas invasions here! What monster would pop out now?
She ducked around the corner to find something to help her defend against them, landing on a spoon...how the hell did a spoon get here? No it didn't matter, if anything, she could throw it and be gone in a instant.
She waited till she heard them get closer before stepping out, looking at the ground. "Don...Don't move! I have a spoon and I will use it to defend myself!" She stuttered out flushing as she looked up....and into the eyes of an familier black dog. "Ty...Tybalt?" She whispered before looking to the other student. Was it a student? It looks like a fluff. It kinda of reminded her of the boy from the library, the really brave one that had been adorably small but very strong. "Tybalt! Oh I am so glad to see you. Are you okay? Do you know what's going on here??" She still held the spoon up and on realization that she did, dropped it to her side and looked away with embarrassment. Yeah, she would do serious damage with a spoon.."S...Sorry! I didn't mean to threaten...you...with...a spoon."

Tybalt's grin only grew wider when the pup scowled at him. Looks like he made the right choice in putting him back down on the ground. Still, he'd rather have carried him out of there and damaged the wisp's pride, instead of losing sight of him in the crowd. That would have been worse, even if Jove would say otherwise. The last thing the black dog wanted at a time like this was to be separated and alone.
"Don't worry, its not like I'm going to give you a hug or anything." He assured and flashed the small wisp a toothy grin of his own. He wasn't the clingy sort after all.
To be honest, he was proud that Jove had done so well. If he kept that up, people would start seeing that he could look out for himself and hopefully stop babying him so much. Though if Tybalt had to say anything, he would say that Jove had proved himself more times than one.
"Think maybe this is Christmas town's revenge on us for last year?" He asked, looking for conversation as he followed the small wisp through the halls. He knew the most he'd get would likely be an expressive look, but it was better than continuing on in silence. Or for him it was.
"I mean, after the damage we caused them, I doubt they'd just leave it alone like tha---" He paused, ears perked, alert, before they finally settled and folded back lazily.
There was someone there alright, but it was no enemy.
"A spoon, eh? Don't think that would do much against us, but I bet if we find a bowl, we could use it and get some eyescream." He teased, relaxing completely as he nodded towards the mermaid. "Hi Amphi, how's it going?"
A dumb question at a time like this, then again, the black dog wasn't all that bright.

Jove's fluffy ears perked, and his head tilted as he glanced back to give Tybalt curious eyes. Christmas town? Although it felt like he had been there most of his life, and probably had, for that matter, the pup hadn't been attending school during last year's coldest October months. He didn't have the same experience as many of the older students. It would have been less startling to run into the ghoul if he had been paying attention to where he was going, when a taller figure suddenly appeared around the corner Jove leapt back so quickly he nearly bumped right into Tybalt's chest. Then the pup scowled in the black dog's direction as though HE were the one instigating it, and tilted his head yet again at the spoon being brandished in their direction. She wasn't a peppermint scented monstrosity, this one. Wasn't she just another student? A familiar one at that? His ears perked as he recognized the name. She had been in the library! When they were catching bugs!

Amphi flushed at the mention of the spoon before tucking it away. "Well since you mentioned it Tybalt.....If it wasn't for the giant chocolate pudding monster attacking the cafeteria, we could probably get some Eyescream." She waved her hand before blinking. Did he...just ask how she was?
She blinked again, looking a little confused as she cocked her head to the right before hesitating..."Well, I suppose I am alright considering the situation. Not hurt, still walking around and trying to understand why sugary sweets seem to try and attack us." She waved her hand again.
"What about you?" She looked over to the small fluff before smiling gently at him, "Hello again Jove. It is Jove right? From the Library? Or am I mistaking you for a student that looks just like you." She flushed again, "I really hope your the one I am talking about so this doesn't seem so odd. I mean, first threatening you with spoons and then getting names wrong." She wrung her hands nervously together before looking over her shoulder, "Are you guys headed somewhere? Mind if I tag along, I'm worried about getting attacked and....I really can't fight anything." She sighed.

It only occurred to the black dog after Jove gave him the curious look, that the wisp might not have been among the students that had taken part in that little field trip.
"Erm... never mind." He added with a small shrug. "I'm sure we'll learn more soon enough."
Tybalt wrinkled his nose at the mention of the monster. Now that was a creature he didn't want to face. Chocolate anything was nasty. Not to mention, him being a dog and all, one could say he was allergic to the stuff--if he consumed it. Mind you, since he was a ghost it wasn't likely to anything more than make him feel ill.
"That sounds rough." The disgusted look remained temporarily before it faded completely at her own question.
"Us? We're in the middle of tracking down some school staff to get some answers. Though we just left the theater with that peppermint puking rat king--" a pause, "I recommend you don't go back in there anytime soon."
(( Sorry for the late response! ))

 "Yooooouuuu... Loooooovveeee yoooooouuuuu...." the voice, if it could be called that, was a scratchy noise that sounded like an old man that had smoked far too long. It came from behind the students, along with a lumbering noise as the tattered looking troubled teddy limped towards them, arms jutting out, eyes glowing blue. "Looooooveeeee meeeeeeeee!" it demanded, stretching forward to grab the closest one. Giant claws scratched across Tybalt, trying to grab him into a suffocating hug.

Jove nodded brightly, tail wagging. It was definitely the ghoul from the library! He would never be able to forget those compliments, and even the memory was enough to boost his little ego. He was a strong pup, and a gentleman, and it was up to him to keep Amphi safe since she seemed so nervous! The pup reached over and grabbed her hand, his suddenly determined expression saying "We'll keep you safe!"
But perhaps he shouldn't have left Tybalt's side, because the moment he did, the sound of soft footsteps appeared and a rasping voice stumbled out of the darkness. The pup growled threateningly as it approached and grabbed the black dog, and only paused to give Amphi a stern "Be careful," look before leaping to help Tybalt out.
But... how to attack without getting Tybalt hurt?
The pup settled for giving the bear a kick to the shin, but his foot just squished into the disgustingly soft stuffing, causing little damage to the creature.

Amphi blinked again at the mention of a Puking Peppermind Rat king before shaking her head. Just what the hell was going on with the Academy? Really?
Her attention drew to Jove as he took her hand, Her face instantly turned red but she made no move to pull away and gave him a small nod. "Thank you Jove." Her hand tightened before smiling at him, "I feel a lot safer with you guys, especially the one who did such a good job catching bugs in the library." She nodded before her eyes widened. At first she thought she was just hearing things but then, from out of the darkened hallways appeared a giant stuffed...Teddy? And jack did it look like it had seen better days.
Her eyes still widened in fear as she felt Jove tense and growl before he let go of her hand and went to attack. She could tell the pup was thinking of just how to make sure Tybalt didn't get hurt anymore in their attack and had her stiffening. This wasn't a hunter for all she knew....so she could help. Or try to.
"We'll get you back Tybalt." She squeaked as she dug out her spoon, following behind Jove.
As he went for the shin, Amphi moved to do the same, though using her spoon as a weapon instead before tripping and stabbing something with the said eating device. When she pulled back she looked in amazed horror as the spoon stuck straight into the Bear's Eye.
"Oh I am so sorry..." She said at first before moving back. He was bound to be angry now.....

Damage: 6

Tybalt choked back a yelp when the giant claws reached out for him; successfully clawing the black dog before it hugged him.
"Get it off--get it off--holy s**t! GET THE CREEPER BEAR OFF!" He cried out, desperately thrashing about in an attempt to free himself.
Thankfully, the embrace wasn't long. Just as Jove kicked the bear in the shin, followed by Amphi accidentally ramming a spoon into it's eye, Tybalt attacked it also. Unfortunately, thanks to the awkward hug that restrained him, he was only successful in slamming his head back into the creatures face. Otherwise, he would have torn it's head off like he had with that pink plaid elephant during his last encounter with JOY creatures.

Teddy wanted to say something. Giant tears threatened for a brief second before it shuddered and fell, falling into a pile of tacky, slightly shimmery dust, like a retarded vampire, before even the dust disappeared.

The music once again goes quiet all over campus, and in the silence, the turning of gears growls and grinds deep underground seems louder than ever. And then even louder until the air is vibrating with the thunderous rhythm. The forms of defeated foes soon begin to waver and then...not quite dissipate, but rather turn misty, into a fog of sorts. The wisps of their remains travel outward and upward, until the sky above the school is dark with the restless fog.
Some students may find it...familiar. And when the clockwork cacophony shifts and twists, subtly, ever so slowly into a chorus of terrible, dark whispers...it becomes very familiar indeed.
The air is soon full of hundreds of voices, a speaking at once in a maddening hum of confusion, anger, and a crushing, mind-numbing loneliness.
