Ceres opened the pod immediately.
She clutched at her throat, gasping for the air she felt her body needed desperately. She forgot just how much it felt like an actual death once inside those creatures. Her heart was racing, sweat beaded on her forehead. A shudder started up her spine as she looked around at where she once was. The pods... thankfully.. these were different. Yes... Golem pods. They only meant sleep while in the halloween world. Some people were getitng out of the pods, but a lot were still inside. Still fighting.
She wondered if they twitched while in them.
Only when another pod opened, right after her own, did she stare in disbelief. "Oh you HAAAAVVVEE to be shitting me!" She growled at Otto.

"SUNNUVA----OOOOW GODDAMMIT" Came the muffled yelps of Otto before opening his pod, rubbing a fresh goose egg on his forehead. Yeah, he bonked his noggin inside the pod. He winced and turned to see Ceres looking at him with extreme disappointment.
"I'M SORRY!" He grouched back, actually meaning it for once. "Right after you left we got our golems back, but then some ninja in a leather jacket did a ******** blitz attack on me and I practically EXPLODED!"

"NO EXCUSE!" She barked back too, approaching him looking rather cranky too. Her skin still felt weird to her, tingly, but that did not stop the poke that went right to the other mans chest. "I died back there to make sure at least ONE of us survived! I thought that would mean, you know. You LIVING a little longer?" Not popping out right after she did! I mean, GEEZ, even a few more minutes would have sufficed!

Otto was riled up, fluffy hair underneath the beanie prickling with rage. He hopped out of the pod just as Ceres approached, staggering back a bit at the jab to his chest.
"HEY, I tried, okay?! I almost trapped one with the gun but that ninja dude was all over me! You just got lucky that all the people who attacked us before were WEAK PANSIES!" He said, jabbing her in the arm with a pointed finger.

"Not ALL of them were weak pansies!" She grumped back at him, taking the jab to the shoulder with a slight since. Yup, skin still felt odd. "BESIDES without me being there, those 'weak pansies' would have gotten to you even faster. Maybe my helping you, actually, prolonged your OWN demise."
She gave him a flat stare.
"For a whole 5 seconds."

If Otto were a Fugu fish, he'd have been puffed out with prickly bits sticking out. He was put off, and very upset. "You don't know that! You didn't HAVE to be my meat shield! I never asked you to! Hey, I even told you to watch your own back, remember?!" His face went red, little fists tightly clenched at his sides.
That damn ninja! This was all his fault! He never even had a chance to try and shoot a second net. Maybe if they had given them decent golems they could have done it. But noooo~. He got a 3 foot fairy princess as a golem.

"Thing is, Otto, i WAS watching my own back!" She shook her own head, taking a step back from him but crossing her arms. "Only ONE of the creatures that came for us, actually targetted ME. That one? The little...zombie thing, tripped all over herself. I did not need to really WATCH myself for that one. I was too busy watching YOU!" A pause to catch her breath. Wow really.
More calmly this time, she felt her temper starting to recede. Ceres never could hold her temper. "They all seemed to target you, Otto. I dont freaking know why, but they did. Its a wonder that 'ninja' did not target you sooner. You were like... i dont know maybe they just like blonds."

Otto's face went redder and redder as Ceres yelled back. He had half a mind to flip a pod over and storm out.
Ceres suddenly seemed to calm down, although Otto was still sour and butt hurt. He held the hem of his beanie on either side and tugged it down some. Blondes? Did they target him just for something so petty? It's true though, five people in total seemed to have it out for him. "Assholes.." He muttered miserably, feeling useless and victimized.

The anger she had still buzzed the back of her senses, it was STILL THERE so not entirely gone. It just showed more on the way she held her body than her voice now.
"Agreed. Assholes, the lot of them." She nodded once, shrugging her shoulders. "I believe you about the ninja thing, i mean heck those golems dont even have a lot of wear and tear on them anyways." She paused. "Or maybe we should dye your hair. Though it might be a good thing, being in your division, if it gains attention. Bad for my division though." More work, Sigh.

"Life Division's gettn' lazy.." He murmured, crossing his arms over his chest. He leaned back on the pod. No point in leaving yet. The mission was still going on, so he'd simply wait for orders.
Otto glared at the girl, his arms folding tighter over his chest. "I don't wanna dye my hair." He muttered. He wasn't sure if she'd been serious, but he needed to make that clear. ho knew Otto even gave a s**t about his appearance? "...every other hunter in this damn place is blonde. Is it a genetic thing? Blondes are 50% more likely to carry the Hunter gene?"

"Apparently so." She frowned, coming to think of it blond WAS a dominant hair trait...hmm. "Maybe theres something wrong with the blonds of the world." She grinned, teasing.
Then a lot of the pods started to open up. "Oop everyones awake it seems." She moved to go and join the group.

Something wrong? More like something awesome, am I right?
Otto blinked and looked around as others began to wake up, then followed after Ceres as they all left.
