"So..." the brunette squinted as he looked about the empty camp grounds. It looked akin to a ghost town, except in camp form and in the middle of being revamped into a scare-the-crap-outta-you camp for thrill-seekers. "Nice place." Sarcastic as it was, Rhys wasn't too surprised. Most of Deus facilities weren't exactly in tip-top shape.
What he was surprised by was the bit of white he saw in some bushes up ahead, so like the stupid guy or girl at the beginning of every horror movie...he walked straight toward it.
"Hello?"

"My! This is depressing. Not a single soul here." Toki looks around, not finding even one shiny object. Truly unfortunate. (Also, just the slightest bit creepy, but she tries very hard not to think about that.) "Perhaps I will find something in the bushes. I have seen this in video games..." She dives in, rummaging through the foliage. (She's also seen video games where lone characters get killed off immediately, in horrible ways, but again tries very hard not to think about it.) "Surely there's something here--" "Hello?""YYAAAARRRGH!" Shrieking, she crashes out of the bush and rolls to the ground, ready to flee. Dissipation is only temporary in Halloween, but it does not mean one should rush headlong into certain death-- "Oh! Ohh. Why, we have met before! It is so nice that is is you, and not a rampaging serial killer. How lucky for me." She gets up, brushes herself off, and makes a beeline towards the human. "Having at least one more person here certainly increases my chances of survival! Yes. We should stick together. Are you scavenging as well?"

He winced at the shriek and crash, not quite poised to strike since Zephira was still in her totem form, but ready to if it was needed. Which it didn't seem to be--he recognized that student.
"Oh, the one with the camera," he murmured to himself before nodding to greet her as she came over. Her greeting sent a bit of a chill up his spine, and subconsciously he looked over his shoulder at the expanse of empty forest and soulless campgrounds behind him. The chances of a serial killer wandering around in these woods were...maybe higher than normal, he had no real way of knowing. Which unnerved him, but at least he had a sword of his own in case there was a madman roaming around.
"Mine, too, I guess," said the brunette, smirking. Sticking together didn't sound like a horrible idea.
"And no, just walkin' around, patrolling. You scavenging for some shiny things or somethin' else?"

"Well. That is such a relief! This is not some abandoned, murder-filled area after all, if you are patrolling it. I mean, death is unpleasant, however temporary--" --Oops. If memory serves, humans don't respawn. How unfortunate. "Oh! I forgot. It is not temporary for you. Do not worry! Worst come to worst, I can always distract any insane clowns or chainsaw-wielding lunatics while you get to safety." Shuffling around, she peers over his shoulder. "I WAS scavenging, but as you can see, this place is somewhat...empty. It is most unfortunate...oh. Your friend is not here! Patrolling alone seems somewhat risky. Poor Seren! Did you leave her behind? You know, I met her again not too long ago. She is so very nice and sparkly."

The idea of death not being permanent was something not totally new to the trainee, so her words didn't surprise him at all. In fact, the fact that she thought it applied to the human world was actually a little funny to him, so he huffed in amusement.
"Nope, not temporary for us. Which is why a serial killer roaming around here would be pretty bad for me. So yeah, if you could be a distraction if there is one, that'd be pretty great of you." He smiled rather gratefully and offered his hand for a handshake to make the deal official You know, in case there really was a chainsaw-wielding lunatic running around. The campgrounds definitely had that look and feel, after all.
"Yeah, place is pretty empty," he said with a sagely nod. And then she mentioned Seren and he cleared his throat, expressions a mix of confusion and amusement and embarrassment.
"No, I didn't. She didn't come with me, I'm here on my own as far as I know. And...uh...I guess?" With that he pulled his phone out, remembering again that Toki was rather fond of pictures as well as shiny things. "She's nice, not sure about sparkly." He moved so he could show her the picture he stole of her sleeping. "Promise you won't tell her I have this and I'll give you two shiny things the next time we run into each other."PyroGoth lol I nearly quoted Toki...

"Hmm. Alone, huh? You know-" Toki opens her mouth to say something about how it does not seem safe to come alone, realizes she did just that, and hastily switches topics. "--Ahem. Yes, yes, I would be happy to distract any potential threats! It is so nice not to have to fear complete and utter destruction. I mean, the actual dying itself is still unpleasant, but there is no helping that..." She trails off, distracted by the photo. These two certainly spend a lot of time together. And taking somewhat voyeuristic photos of each other. She certainly approves. It is such a pity they haven't tried dating. "Wow, that is so cute! It's funny, because when I met Seren she had almost exactly the same--" Did Seren ask her to keep that a secret? Toki devolves into a coughing fit. Just in case. "--GAAGHKKK. I do apologize. Something, uhm, caught in my throat. Y-you know how it is. A-anyway! This is merely guesswork, but you probably don't have a printer or anything, right? I can take a photo of that photo for you. If you want. It may sound strange, but it turned out quite well the last ti--I mean, I have a good feeling about this!" She smiles in what she hopes is a "don't-ask-any-questions" kind of way, and resolves to try that whole "think before you speak" thing her family keeps suggesting. _ p a o cx SJKGHSKJGH OMG HEHEH THAT'S SO CUTE THO QVQ

She really had a way with words that made Rhys more than a little unnerved, but her cheerfulness when she said it still amused him so he couldn't help the smirk on his face.
The coughing fit was suspicious, though, and he was tempted to ask because she mentioned Seren for some reason and something being the same, which...could have probably been anything, based on what he knew about the both of them, so he tried not to jump to conclusions and just gave an amused little huff.
"I don't, and if you could that'd be pretty...awesome." The pause was because he wondered for a second what she meant by "last time," like if that had been with Seren or perhaps another hunter or maybe one of her fellow student. Again, it could have been anything so he left it alone.
Rhys moved to had her the phone, a little unsure about what the process involved. "Here, did you need me to hold my phone while you took the picture or how's this supposed to happen?"

"Yes, hold still! Just like that. Give me a second, taking a photo of a photo is somewhat more difficult..." She grabs his hand. holding it still for a moment. The camera rattles once more (when will it finally die?), and a new image is produced. Toki grabs it, hastily waving it in the air (this does not actually help the polaroid dry, but it certainly is fun to do.) "Phew! Oh my. It seems like it's been a while since I took a photo. I should really continue building my album. Here you go!" She passes the photo to him, wondering (not for the first time) why humans are wealthy enough to afford fancy weapons, and yet too poor to afford a printer. Well! She is always happy to do someone a favor. One good deed, and all that. _ p a o cx //AVOIDS GLASSES anyway who sleeps with them on kjadfhkjdsg ALSO FEEL FREE TO FINISH IF UVE HIT 600 WORDS OK

"Oops! I nearly forgot." She digs through her voluminous sleeves and drags out a heavy stack of flyers, handing (forcing) the topmost one into his open hand. In cheerful, bright lettering, it says "HOW TO LOSE UNNECESSARY LIMBS IN 10 EASY STEPS.", complete with an adorable how-to diagram that covers tentacles, wings and other appendages. "I took a part-time job during the holiday season. No better time to earn some side income!" She hopes the flyer doesn't disintegrate immediately - but even if it does, hey! She did her job.

Rhys glanced at the photo and, despite himself, blushed a very light shade of pink at Seren's expression in it before tucking it away. "Thanks, Toki. As promised, next time we meet I'll have two shinies ready for you, in exchange for keeping this a secret." And he always made it a point to make good on his promises, so he made a mental note to make a note on his phone to remind him to just keep two small shiny objects on his person at all times.
He was about to say goodbye when she suddenly handed him a flyer, mentioning a part-time job. He could related so he took the flyer and glanced down to see what it was about. Despite the bright lettering the content wasn't so bright, but before he could hand it back to Toki to tell her that he didn't plan on using the tips because...well...he needs all of his limbs, the paper sort of just turned to ashes in his hand.
"Uh..." he started with a bit of a frown. "Well, you did do your job if all it is, is passing out flyers."
"Anyway, thanks for the photo. If you still wanna tag along on patrol that's cool with me." And with that he turned to keep on with his job. He kind of hoped she would stick around, but even if she didn't he could defend himself against any crazy serial killer (or crazy serial killer-type creatures) just fine.PyroGoth I'm not sure if that's a closer at all, but I mean here's a tag still. >__>;
