On the highway is a massive pileup of cars that seem almost eerie with how high they are stacked. They provide a decent warmth away from all the cold, so at least that is good. There's also random supplies in the car, nothing edible or really usable, but they could be fun (pick something that you'd see in a car often, your character can Icly play around with it. KEEP IT PG13 SERIOUSLY).
Pokerus normally had no use for cars, considering she just flew to places if she needed to travel. But the fog was making that difficult, in more ways the one, and she had to keep her human warm So upon stumbling onto a massive mess of the human made machines she proclaimed one for herself.
It was extremely difficult to open a car when your forelegs weren't that dexterous, but she managed to get a side door open without denting the car too much, and placed the human inside. There she moved to the front of the road and plopped down, tail curling around her feet.
She then took out a small orange box like thing (being careful not to break it), a human version of a radio. The dragon had managed to find one lying about in a heap, though she kept it turned off most of the time. Maybe she should start listening more, keep on the lookout for other halloween students.

Ryan might have left his civilian in the trunk of the car, while he explored the area. Not so much out of cruelty, even if he was still angry at the nameless man, but because the likely hood of one of those undying or shadows showing up and attacking the unconscious man was all too possible and since he didn't have an endless amount of strength and was already feeling weaker from just being here... The trunk was really the best option he had, at least while he scouted ahead. Of course, he hadn't been expecting to see... was that?
"Why are you sitting in the middle of the road? Something's going to attack you if you leave yourself open like that." He pointed out, walking carefully up beside the dragon.
The closer he got the more familiar she looked. Did he know her?

The fog made it incredibly hard to see more then a few feet, while also muffling sound, so when Pokerus heard someone suddenly talk behind her she was quick to jump up in alarm, turning around to face whoever had spoken.
She could see right away it was a hunter, compete with white coat and those strange symbols on the back. So there were hunters here too? It made perfect sense, there were humans involved, and they were supposed to protect said humans. Though this one looked very familiar to her...
Her eyes narrowed, looking him up and down, trying to place where she had seen him...
".....Corporal?" She said the word slowly, testing it out, her mind making the mental link between this hunter, and the one from the white kingdom, and her face brightened. "CORPORAL!"
Another white kingdom person this was awesome

Corporal? The voice was familiar, and Ryan screwed his face up in a look of confusion when it finally dawned on him. That mission with the white kingdom and rescuing Wilson and-- "Poke?" He asked aloud, surprised to actually encounter her here. He wasn't personally familiar with many from Halloween, but among them, he knew Poke to be a kind and gentle soul.
"You look, uhh... different." And by that, he meant that she was a very tall, blue dragon. But there was a definite familiarity. "What are you doing here? Sitting in the road, I mean." She must have come with a group of others, he had seen quite a few Halloween denizens by now, but they all looked

"The one and only." Poke grinned, flashing a set of dagger like teeth. She then raised a foreleg and placed it against her head in a mock salute. "Lieutenant Pokerus reporting for duty, sir!"
Since Ryan had to strain his neck just to see her she made it easier, shimmering back to lay on the concrete, head resting on her forelegs, tail wagging back and forth like a excited puppy. "Just the usual; resuming poor humans in distress" A claw pointed towards the dented car. "I was supposed to drop him off at a human friendly portal, but got stuck out here instead. Fought a giant horse thing, but then the fog closed in again, it's almost as annoying as insanity fog." Almost.
"Are any other hunters about?" A pause, then she spoke in a more...concerned voice. "...Any hunters by the name of Ami?"

To be honest, if it had been any other creature, other than Poke, that grin would be really unsettling. Look at those teeth!
There was an amused sound as he sat down on the ground in front of her, crossing his legs and looking up at her with a tilt of his head. "No need to call me sir anymore, I'm just of normal rank here. Just Ryan is fine." To be honest he preferred it. He was never really fond of being addressed by rank, even in the white kingdom.
When Poke talked of the humans, he couldn't help the small smile that appeared on his face. Of course she'd sympathize with the civilians here. "Thank you for helping them. Should they awaken, I'm sure they'd appreciate your efforts. Too bad about the car though." He added jokingly, leaning back and supporting himself on his hands. "I saw the horse thing too. Not a fun experience, might I add."
As for her other questions, Ryan gave a slight shake of his head and gave an apologetic look. As much as he liked the dragon, sharing information was not something he was permitted to do. So instead he redirected the conversation. "How you holding up?" It felt like ages since he had last talked to her, which really, had been more in a dream like world too. He was honestly surprised she even remembered him.

"Righty-o!" Pokerus may of had a afterthought that showing off her teeth to Ryan may have been seen as threatening, but he didn't seem phased. That was good. Sometimes she would get confused, making gestures in either form that were not appropriate to the situation.
Being thanked for her was kinda embarrassing. "Aww, you're gonna make me blush" She couldn't blush in her nat form, but she did look away from Ryan. "It's no biggie. Playing the hero is fun. Don't think they appreciate my efforts much. My human woke up and then ran off." Which most humans would do if they were faced with a big black shadow thing. "They can't see me. Though even if they could they'd still run away. I'm a pretty scary beast."
She turned back to face him, but seeing his expression and the shake of his head, she tilted her head sideways. Why was he being sorry. Pokerus didn't quite realize what he meant and continued on the conversation as normal. "Pretty well, though I'm still pissed off at the horsemen. Jack dam ******** messing with everything."

Ryan laughed at her response. Even if she blushed, he wasn't sure he'd notice it in her current form. "I'm glad you're at least finding enjoyment in your task. I can't quite say I'm feeling the same though. It is providing an excellent work out, at least."
When she announced her civilian had woken up and ran off, Ryan wasn't that surprised. "Yeah, I had something similar, only mine attacked me. Guess its more than just a dragon problem, huh? Though, hey! I suppose that also means your doing well in Halloween? I heard scaring is a profession there."
Of course, when the subject of the horsemen were brought up, Ryan found himself nodding in agreement. "You can say that again."

"Really? Thats strange, dunno why they'd attack you." The dragon raised her head, pretending to look proud and regal. "I do consider myself to be quite skilled in the act of scaring. But it's hard these days, these strange creeple in coats keep trying to stop me scaring. Ugh! So rude. How does a dragon make a living these days."
She shook her head in displeasure. "The last one I met not only threw me in a cell, but decided to paint the floor with my intestines. It was aggravating, as much as It was excruciating. " Briefly she wondered if she should mention Dakota and Ami were with her, not sure if he would be comfortable hearing his allies being imprisoned. Because hearing about her guts being torn open was totally a better thing to talk about.

At Poke's question he gave a light shrug, not really sure about it himself. "It could be a number of reasons. Could be fear, or that they're delirious, though I'm assuming trauma is also a major factor. There's no real way of telling until they wake up and can talk." After all, who could survive this long in this sort of situation without enduring some kind of stress?
Coats? Was she referring to hunters? He could see that happening, but that didn't stop him from feeling sorry for her. "Sorry you're having it so rough. Is there any other line of work you can do to make a living?" He hoped he wasn't being rude by his question, but honestly, he imagined it would be better, not to mention safer for the dragon to find a different line of work. Hopefully she already had found one such job.
When she told him of her experience in the horseman cells. Ryan sucked in a sharp breath. Really, to have gone through that and still be alive? Halloween denizens were resilient creatures, he had to give them that. "Hope you paid them back in kind. Or at least got some form of revenge." He had been in a similar situation. Not once, but twice. So he had an idea of what she talked of. Only fortunately for him it hadn't ended in having his entrails ripped out, or anything quite so severe.

Oh, well if she thought about it like that then it made sense. Just looking at the state of the city made her feel sorry for the humans, as well as curious. "Do you know what caused all...this?" Poke sat up, indicating to the rubble that lay around them.
Ryan's reaction to her complaint was adorable. "I was joking, silly" She poked her tongue out playfully. "I haven't gone scaring in...well I don't think I've gone on a 'official' scaring run. You need a passport for that, and I...I'm getting around to it. Students aren't allowed to that unless they're supervised."
"Besides. You needn't apologize, I understand." What sane creature would just sit there and be frightened without putting up a fight?
Her expression darkened, and it was a effort not to snarl and freak out the hunter. "I wish. The horsemen bailed soon after, I have no idea who or where he is, but if I do find him...ooh is he gonna pay." She still had that nagging feeling that if she did find him, she'd just killed. She hadn't even seen him attack until it had already been done, the guy had some insane speed.

"Sorry, no." He answered honestly. He had no idea what was causing this, in fact that was part of the reason they were here. "I'm still trying to figure that one out myself, but I'll admit, information gathering is not really my forte." He was in moon division for a reason, after all. As for that tidbit on needing to have a passport? That was honestly relief. It was one thing having to deal with full grown and fully trained creatures from Halloween, but fighting kids? He wasn't really keen on the idea. Though he always wondered why their school constantly threw them into such dangerous situations before they were ready.
"None I know of, but I imagine some do." It was a sad thought, but it happened. Some people just didn't have the will or strength to defend themselves. Which he guessed is how hunters came to exist in the first place.
However, when Poke's expression darkened, he gingerly gave her a pat on her foreleg. "Just don't let him get you first, okay? Its not worth you getting yourself killed."

"Damn, even the hunters are lost on this?" It was a concerning thought. "I don't know anyone in halloween that would be capable of this kind of destruction either. I'm in the same boat as you though; not a big information gatherer." Though it wasn't like the teachers or professors gave them any information in the first place. She was used to the 'fend for herself' mentally, her own parents having left her by herself many times to figure things out, however they still were nearby and gave guidance when needed, not just ditch her and hope things worked out for the best.
"I'll try not to, thought horsemen tend to be sneaky bastards." She stood up, shaking herself out a little. "Do you need help carrying your human? I can help you carry it to a hunter base, or wherever you need to go that isn't super classified."
