Welcome to Gaia! ::

The lights begin to flicker wildly, the students gathered up quickly. A bit of debris falls as everything turns dark for a single second before the emergency lights blink back on, everything an odd concoction of dark greys and blues. The rest of the walk continues mostly in peace except for the yelling in the background, the two techs walking at a rapid pace, silent.

"Stay put in here." The first tech stares, panicked, outside before slamming the new containment room door closed on all the taken prisoners. "Don't try anything if you know what's good for you."

The students couldn't do anything if they tried: the rooms were entirely isolated from Fear, not to mention the restraining bracelets made it doubly hard.

Zar really wasn't keen on this being treated like an animal thing. He was however momentarily perturbed by the power going out around them, followed by the embrace of blackness. Something was happening, he just wasn't sure what. For a moment, hope stirred in him.

In the room, he sat down.

"What was that?" he mused aloud.

By the time the Techs had come for them, Amrita had phased through the numbness, through the disbelief and straight into anger. She hated this, she hated them, she wanted to know why, and more importantly, she wanted to express how unfair this was with a good 'ol punch to the nose. No doubt that was Christof rubbing off on her, though.

The sound of the techs fighting brought a smile, a nasty smile. Good, argue. Fight each other, kill each other off so she'd have less to deal with later! That sounded like a great plan. She was all set to give the Tech's a run for their money too, but as the doors slammed open she found herself once more unable to do much but obey.

Ugh.

Their new cell was almost painful. The lack of FEAR in the room obvious. She slumped with the others, taking a heavy seat on the floor to hug her knees against her chest.

"No clue." She murmured to Zar, looking over at the boil. "But whatever it is, it's got them spooked..." Maybe she sounded a little too happy at that. "Did...did you hear them arguing?" Talking was hard, but...she was done with silence for a little while.

Yin just felt...lethargic. It was an odd feeling, one generally reserved for when the cold had gotten to him and he was beginning to shut down. Normally he was hyperactive, constantly feeling the need to move. Now he just...could barely bring himself to care about it. He should have been alert, looking about, waiting for a chance to escape, and opportunity to make a run for it. Instead he just let himself be carried to this new room, barely making note of the debris and noises.

Stay put. What did it matter if they left? The hunters could just use them. Gather information, force them to do their bidding. Maybe the sounds meant something, but maybe it was just another hunter trick. What did get his attention was the sight of a ghoul's tears, and he forced himself into a sitting position. "Miss Amphitrite? Are..." his voice trailed off before he really even began his question. Of course she was not alright, and at this stage he could not even tell her it was going to be okay.

Thanks to the hunters, Mei found it difficult to remain awake. The small talk in the room almost sounded so distant to the doll as she lay on the floor. Their was definitely some sort of commotion going on outside, enough for them to move the five of them into a different cell.

Groggily, Mei's gaze shifted to Amphi when Yin spoke. The mermaid had been pretty quiet for a while now. A side effect maybe? She would inquire further, but the effort to speak was too much for her right now. All she wanted to do was take a good long sleep. Though the fact that Amphi was crying kept her from doing so. "Wha..what is it..?"

Her attention was then drawn to someone else who was brought to the cell. A ghoul she had seen around, but had never really interacted with before. She didn't even know her name. "So..you were our neighbour they mentioned..?"

"Neighbor?" The lycan said groggily. Tilting her head toward the doll on the floor. "I suppose..." She seemed confused, a hand resting against her head. "I thought I was alone."

Crimson eyes darted to the undead coming in her direction when she heard her name but there wasn't much recognition. "I got captured in the Haunted House..." Mitsu explained softly, her head rolling to the side like keeping it up was just too much effort.

"Six..?" Mitsu's voice sounded airy as she tilted her head back up to look around the room. One...two...three...four...five. There were five of them now plus her. "Israfel...What...happened?" It seemed like her body was working over time to keep going, her voice getting quieter and quieter until the undead asked her a question.

"T...tag me?" Her face scrunched as she gave the question some thought. Eyes closing it seemed like she was trying to concentrate...or about to fall to sleep. "I...I don't remember." She said honestly. "Every things is kinda...fuzzy."

When her eyes opened again she looked up at the undead who seemed to be struggling as much as she was. "Y..you seem familiar."

"I...Israfel was ....weaponized?" Mitsu's eyes grew wide with shock for only a moment before they went back to their half lidded state. The worry was evident on her features though, the lycan reaching a hand toward the ghoul.

"Y...you were tagged?" She tried to help brace Amrita as she tilted but Mitsu ended up shifting to the side as well, crashing against the floor with a soft thud. She didn't seem to comprehend what happened, her eyes looking confused as she took in her new perspective.

"Amrita..." She repeated the name softly, her face scrunched like she was trying to remember something. A brief look of pain crossed her features and she closed her eyes. "I-I can't remember..."
