Welcome to Gaia! ::

A very grumpy zombie boil was juggling three skellphones, grumbling to himself in a very feminine voice as he checked each of them. They worked. Good.

Stupid ********' zombie golem. Not only was it short as hell it was male. She'd been so good about getting females lately! Why did she suddenly get a male!? Ugh! This was going to suck. She was not looking forward to being male for a week.

And a rotting zombie.

If it weren't for the fact that they had more important matters to be concerned with she would have deactivated her golem the moment she found it had an..uh...'extra appendage' and demanded a new one. A female one. Maybe a demon. She always got the ******** undeads. Candace looked up, making sure Gale and Madison had joined her. "Okay. So here are your phones," Candace began, handing each of them a skellphone. "Mitsu is a white-haired wolf ghoul with red eyes. She's very quiet, very cautious, but very friendly from the sounds of it. Her hair is long, she has a fluffy white tail and ears..and she was wearing a mask last time I saw her. Like, on top of her head. She has a boilfriend named Shun, an asian reaper with an eyepatch. Thank you, Stacey. Watch out for a valkyrie named Freya...she's ******** annoying." Candace rolled her eyes--er..eye. The other eye was simply an empty socket.

Great. She didn't even have an entire face. She was pretty sure her golem didn't even have a stomach. Candace didn't want to check.

She really didn't want to check.

"If you need me I already input my number into it, and put your numbers into each other's as well...any questions before I set you loose~?"

The first thought that ran through Gale's mind as he emerged in Halloweentown was thank the bloody stars he was still male.

This thought was closely followed by the inevitable I am still bloody short.

Something thick and heavy was settled on his head and shoulders, draping halfway down his back, and as Gale's new eyes adjusted to the slightly darker setting, he craned his neck, peering over his shoulder and found some sort of odd fur pelt. From the looks of it, it was something along the lines of one of the bigger game of cats - black panther, perhaps? thought Gale, eyeing the rounded ears, the sleek, blue black of the fur. He couldn't really tell, however, not from this angle, and he was dressed in a pair of what appeared to be slim fitting black pants and a tight black teeshirt with a high neck, his skin several shades darker than what he was used to.

After making sure that Jinhai was settled, he glanced over at Candace - or who he thought might have been Candace, since the zombie...whatever it was...was the one that was taking the lead.

Gale reached for one of the phones, tucking it into the pocket. "Yes," he said. "What sort of rumours are we spreading, exactly again?"

"Hmm..." Madison frowned, the expression feeling strange on that unfamiliar face. "Call me... uh... Kouki, help me out here."

... Junpei.

"... uh, Junpei?" She wrinkled her nose. "Fine, Junpei. Whatever. That's fine. Wait, isn't someone's weapon named that?"

Her only response was a low hum, as if she were being studiously ignored.

"... ugh, weapons. Okay." She took a few steps forward, then backwards, testing the golem's paces. "So we need to spread rumors... yeah, there's no way in hell you're going to get past the boyfriend if he's that suspicious. I know the type. Clingy." Madison flicked her claw-tipped fingers as if trying to shake free a piece of lint. "Best bet is getting them both in, then taking him out..."

Derykion. Really? Geez.

"Who's this Freya chick? What's her type? She hover around your target?" Oh, Madison knew types. Yes. The jock, the prep, the loser... oh yes. Her tails lashed in glee before she scowled at them.

"Hah." She grinned, wryly. "I told Derykion - and god, what a horrible nickname that was - "that I had a major in 'high school'. It's the only bit of my past life that might do me any good. And, well... I can ******** with these guys. ******** with Deus just gets you dead. This s**t is pure fun." The grin took on a very definite predatory edge, only enhanced by the golem's pointed canines.

"Okay, so. Dispose of helpful chick- ghoul, yes Kouki, I can speak Halloween. Ghoul." She rolled her eyes. "Here's the thing: my little bird told me a bunch of 'em went into the Haunted House. They know there's Hunters in there, and dangerous s**t. Suspicious Boyfr- Boilfriend - he's gonna be on to that. And I don't even know how you get in there from this end... we gotta have a plan. Free agenting this s**t isn't going to work. We need targets, or we might as well just grab her out of her dorm and drag her there ourselves."

They had a point. She rubbed at her chin until her jaw seemed to pop out of its socket, hanging from her face by one hinge. The zombie blinked, grunting unhappily and popping it back in place with an unhappy noise. Stupid ******** zombies. "I know they know we can get in there. Horsemen can in there too, I fought against that Conquest boy...and lost..a plan is a good idea." She fell quiet, looking away with a soft hum. They needed multiple targets, hm? That..

...That could work.

"Her friends? People who know her? It..actually may be fun if the more people who see her taken the better. I'll grab up some Suns to help fend them off when the time comes. Mitsu gave Deryk her phone number, so I'm going to send her texts as Derykion when it gets closer to time for her to be at the house." A pause. "The three of us are friends of Derykion, and we haven't seen him in awhile. We're worried. He went out for a walk with Mela and hasn't been back since. He told us about Mitsu, talked about her a lot, and that's why we're going to her." That sounded reasonable. Mitsu knew Derykion, no doubt she'd be concerned, right? "I have a feeling she won't come alone now that I think about that. She'll want her friends to help her.."

"I like that. Gale? What do you think?"

Candace grinned, though she stopped when she heard a pop in her jaw. Was it still settling from falling off before? Ehhhhh.

"Good! Let's go make some friends, yes. Remember, we have a week! In case of emergency, don't forget the code to deactivate your golem is the name of our home. All three words." She nodded her head to both of them, not saying it herself because really...it would be a hassle to wake up and get a new ******** golem. "Stay safe, call me if you need me. You're free to go if you don't have anymore questions."
