The logical choice after separating from her previous group was to go back to the real Amityville and recuperate...but for some reason, instead of heading back to the (relative) safety of the school, Xiu had decided to spend some more time wandering around the Haunted House by herself. It was definitely not the smartest idea--especially since it had become clear that there were insanity-laced creatures just waiting to attack from the shadows, among other groups--but the baku was hesitant to take a break. Not now, when she knew there were friends "lost" out there.
Yes--despite the fact that they had both been infected with insanity, Xiu was desperate to find Yin and Amrita. However--and this was a question that crossed her mind many times--even if she were to find them...what would that accomplish? She didn't know any processes that could potentially revert her friends to their former selves, and meeting either of them while she was alone seemed more like a death wish than anything else. No, if she wanted to explore further, she would have to find some other students to form a group with.
Now the only questions was where she would find these students. No matter how many rooms Xiu wandered into, there was never another soul in sight. If it really came to it, all she would be able to do was leave. Although...
"...Where...is the exit again?"

After having filled Mitsu in on what had happened at the festival cleanup, Shun informed her that he was going to be investigating the fog. Something was very much wrong.. especially considering he noticed a few students had changed. However they didn't attack them, but had gone into the fog. He didn't really know what was going on, aside from it having something to do with insanity. But he wanted to find out. Perhaps the more he knew, the better he could protect her.
Speaking of which, he was definitely going to need to do that here. She had insisted on following him, which did surprise him considering this was probably going to be dangerous.
Once he found a foggy area, he went on and entered.. finding himself at the haunted house of all places. It wasn't the same, however. There was a thick fog all around, and it was cold here. Did something brush against him? The Reaper frowned as he looked to make sure Mitsu was still nearby. He had gone ahead and summoned his daggers, not really sure what to expect around here.
Certain he didn't expect to hear the voice of his 'little sister'.
"Xiu, where are you?" he called out, trying to see where she was exactly.

Xiu nearly jumped out of her skin at the sudden yell, but she immediately brightened up when she realized that the voice had been an extremely familiar one. "Aniki? Um, I'm--...doesn't matter, uh, stay right there! I'll come to you!"
Turning in the direction that his voice had (hopefully) come from, Xiu made her way through the fog, squinting as she searched for her "big brother"'s figure beyond the mist. She was finally allowed to breath a sigh of relief when, eventually, she spotted the reaper's figure up ahead. However, as she got closer, two other students began to come into view. She eyed the smaller with the two with wide eyes. Was that...?
"Mitsu?!" The baku looked startled to see her friend out here, and she quickly shot Shun a questioning look, her pink eyes round. Her gaze then slid to the other boil, and she tilted her head at him curiously. She had definitely seen him around before, but as for his name...
"Um, hello," She greeted, lips curving upwards in a vaguely embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry, I...can't recall if we've met before. I'm Xiu!" Pausing, she looked between the boil and Shun, cocking her head to the side, "Did the three of you come together?"

It was Xiu! Though, as requested, he stood tight. Shun would have taken Mitsu by the hand, but he had daggers at the moment. He was content to stand close to her, however. Though, he soon heard another voice nearby, causing him to look to the side warily. It was the black ghost dog, however, so he was able to relax. Tybalt, if he recalled correctly.
"You and Xiu are the first ones we've seen upon entering here," he replied with a shake of his head. The Reaper looked to his fiance for the moment to make sure she was alright. It wasn't hard to tell that she was jumpy about being here.
"She didn't want me to go alone," he explained to the baku, upon catching that questioning look after seeing and stating Mitsu's name. He soon shook his head to her as well to her verbal question, "Mitsu and I came together, but we ran into Tybalt moments before you came. Have you been in this fog for long?"
She was further ahead, so it was possible. In which case, she may have some more information on what was happening here. Maybe. Just maybe.

Xiu hesitated for a second before nodding, her expression grim. "I've been wandering around for a while. I was with a group at first, but after we split up, I decided to explore by myself for a little longer." Not a smart--or a safe--idea to be a sure, but at least she wasn't alone anymore. She glanced towards Tybalt, and then looked back over to Shun and Mitsu.
"For the sake of safety, I think that all four of us should stick together. I mean, um..." She clutched her hands tightly to her chest, nervously surveying their surroundings, "Actually, I think there are at least three or students out here who have been completely corrupted by insanity. To be honest, I was trying to look for two of them--Yin Cang and Amrita--but they're...just like the others before. They'll attack anyone who crosses their path." Which obviously meant that, should they run into one of them, their only choices were to fight to flee.
Xiu sincerely wished that there was a third choice of "free", though.

Shun raised an eyebrow at the black dog. He recalled that he had been one of the ones to insist staying behind when he and Danny were having issues at the lab back during the 'rescue'. It was the main reason why he had remembered.
"Shun," he offered before stepping closer to Mitsu. He wanted her to be more at ease but quite frankly, he was on alert as well. It wasn't really good to completely relax here. But still, he didn't want her to be so scared.
"Yes, I thought I caught sight of a couple of them before the fog left the festival grounds," he said to Xiu, "So then they really have become like Riley before.."
They may have a number of statues on their hands when this is all said and done. But.. it was probably good to try and take care of them should they run into anyone like that. He doubted anyone seriously wanted to be in such a state, and as it stood, they were a hazard to have around anyway.
"By the way, you shouldn't have been wandering around alone," he frowned. Nevermind that he would have been here alone if Mitsu hadn't insisted on following him, "But yes, we should stick together. If a threat comes up, we'll have an easier time dealing with it if we aren't separated. We'll keep a look out for your friends too, Tybalt."

Another shape emerged from the fog, forming as it scuttled forward. More invaders, Yin realized with anger. But there, another that belonged, another that was protecting Home. It was already attacking two of the figures, and Yin targeted the other two, yellow eyes glowing as claws reached out to them, spines oozing out into fog. Trying to hook the two figures and drag them in to him. He would stop them from attacking his home.
"Home." Hissing, mandibles clacking, determined to not let the intruders invade what was his.

Out of nowhere, the fog had gathered and there were now two creatures attacking them. Hissing in pain as the clawed one struck him, Shun turned with his daggers ready. One had backward claws... the other was a mantis.
Well then.
"Xiu, I think we found them," he said dryly. Looking between the two, he was trying to pick out a target. They needed to be taken care of now and quickly if he was going to keep both Xiu and Mitsu safe. The mantis had struck them both too, so deciding a target wasn't too hard. Narrowing his eye, he went on the offensive immediately. Something felt like it was empowering him in a way, but at the same time.. .this felt strange.
Was this all happening here?
Shaking off the feeling, he rushed forth to try and get behind the mantis and jumped up. As he came down, he went to drive both his daggers into its backside.
Don't mess with Mitsu.
