Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shun had still been primarily avoiding the Black hall since he was told to get out. Time had since passed, and he wondered if it was worth poking his head back in just yet. He lingered by one of the doors, watching it intently as he considered his options. Perhaps he should wait a little longer. Of course, he could always go off and try to find another of the masked doppelgangers.

But he handled Beel oh so spectacularly. There was no way trying to take down another on his own would go wrong.

Useless.

He shook his head to himself, uncertain. Time was still ticking. Ticking away. What did he have to show for it? A bit of blood on his attire, for one. While Algernon had done away with the wound, evidence that it had once been there still persisted.

Just as Shun decided to back off for now, someone had come on through. Autumn, to be exact. And she didn't look entirely happy, if the tears upon her face was any sort of indication.

"Perhaps it is I who should be asking that of you," he noted with a tilt of his head, "You seem rather distressed."

While he wasn't too good at reading people, even he could pick up on that much.

Shun blinked as he was handed several masks. He guessed she was talking about the doppelgangers. The masks did look familiar.

"Well... you have certainly done more than I. The only thing I managed to do was get my a** kicked by Beel, twice. The second time, Mercer had to save my a**," he stated quietly, shaking his head to himself.

"But it is not as if we can really leave this place anyway. Not yet."

He needed to find a way to be useful for once this night. Not much luck yet.

Shun shook his head slowly.

"Not much unfortunately. I know that the masked ones are here to witness death and that Ascension is to ascend if we allow her to do so."

He was being a great detective tonight.

Shun stared, blinking at Autumn, "Well ********. That is some seriously messed up s**t."

He drew in a deep breath.

"There is still a few hours before dawn comes upon us. I feel like we have not really gotten that much closer to figuring out what to do about the tithe. Someone is going to die tonight no matter what we do... but maybe we can at least make it worth something."

He really wouldn't mind somehow getting rid of Melany. Though... the information he received about Sunny still bothered him.

"Honestly, if we could somehow get Melany as a candidate, I would be all for that. But I do not think that is entirely plausible as things are right now. Letting one of us die would be far from ideal, but I am not certain who the ideal would be."

Autumn was apparently in a similar boat as his own. She said he was smarter, but she apparently managed to take down two of the bloody doppelgangers and take their masks.

"Also these masks say otherwise as far as what you are doing here," he stated, waving them lightly.

"And Beel is Shiloh's," Shun added. She must have really managed to reign them in if he could name drop her around them. That was impressive all on its own.

"So what will you do now? There are still so many pieces of this puzzle that I lack."

"losing your senses will do no good for anyone. You could very well still be needed. Drink in moderation if you must resort to alcohol," he warned. Closing his eyes, he looked on down the hall in which he came.

"Thank you for the insight, though. If I see Alois I will attempt to keep him from doing anything too stupid. "
