Sorry for the delayed reply watching tv with my roomate!

Once he regained his composure Bul sassily retorted- "You think?"

He could feel his spines lifting but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't shift to natural form. Hits didn't sting as much then... course they did hurt a bit later on. "And should you try it again I'll be bludgeoning you in the face, tater tot," he sneered.  

[Toshihiko Two]

...No. Definitely could not budge. Sitting was the most he could do. "I'm fine where I am," he told Mandy, tone short. Even he got up, he very much doubted he could stay up.

"...Did you see me starting anything?" Barth asked, grudgingly, thorns thickening but having trouble with their verticality. "Yes, yes, we're all lucky. I understand about the luring us with the children thing, that was viciously clever, but what in seven hells was the gender swapping bit about?"

Calder stepped closer to Barth, standing up front and slightly to the side when the hunters started to collecting around them. This was bad. This was VERY bad. He almost wished now that he picked up Barth and had walked into the fog. Was this better than running into the fog? It was too late to think of that now. He couldn't well leave when all the other students were here not to mention there seeming to be no help in sight. There was no faculty members here. In fact, no one probably knew they were gone!

He swallowed hard.

"We never started a fight with you. You came into our territory." He huffed back, feeling territorial just thinking about it. They had killed their professor. They had kidnapped Barth and many others. They made weapons from them.

His eyes went to the weapons they were holding. They were them. How ...how?!!

He ducked as he saw a strange object sail overhead, trying to hit Barth, and moved closer to his boilfriend, possessive and protective of the demon. "Back off!" He shouted.  

[Kaiyumi]

The look on Xiu's face flickered, changing into something a little softer and more solemn looking. A part of her was touched that they wanted to keep her in sight, but at the same time, she was clearly worried. This place unnerved her--she almost expected for the monstrous Red to show up again any minute.

Xiu ran a hand through her hair, biting down on her lip uncertainly. "But..but I...it's dangerous." She put extra emphasis on the last word, frowning up at the two boils,
"Since the Hunters are attacking, I won't hesitate to fight back. I certainly don't want to carelessly drag you two into danger." Forget about boils protecting ghouls. It wasn't even a matter of Xiu being a knob while the two of them were still in their first year--she just didn't like the idea of pulling her friends into a dangerous situation.

She took a deep breath, and had opened her mouth to say something else when she noticed movement a few meters away. It was a little hard to see because of the fog, but...were those three Hunters seriously ganging up on that one student?

The petite ghoul bristled, murmuring a quick, "excuse me" as she suddenly moved away from Yin and Alex, closing the distance between herself and the group of Hunters. "You...you cowards!" How dare they gang up on a student like this? She swung her leg out at the one who was closest to her, but to her confusion, she realized that her balance was...a little off? No, it wasn't that. She felt heavy for some reason.

Though the attack managed to connect, it hadn't been nearly as impressive as she had hoped (and it was probably because of her heels that she had hurt him at all, rather than her kick). Still, it was something. Her tail was lashing behind her as she turned to look at Tybalt. The corners of her lips turned upwards in a small, weak smile. "Sorry to interrupt. Are you alright?"

Alex nodded at Yin. It would be a very good idea to grab ahold of Xui's hand indeed, so that they could stay together. Except that she was not letting Alex do so, and was continuing to move, forcing Alex to try his best to follow her, and not lose her in the fog.

It was actually more likely at this point that Yin was dragging Alex behind him, really.

He frowned at Xui from behind in annoyance. "Of course we aren't going to just let you go off on your own to fight them! What kind of boils would we be if we did that?" He smiled, though it was a dark thing, as already he could sense the hot blood of fresh, human meat not far away from where they currently were.

As it turned out, Xui saw the group of hunters first, that were attacking a fellow student in force. Alex admired the way she didn't hesitate, and moved in to the attack without a second thought.

Alex attempted to do the same, his gaze turning towards the lone female hunter of the group. He knew that Yin probably wouldn't go near her, and so it was logical that Alex try to stop her himself. However, his movements seemed heavier and somehow even slower then usual. Not to mention the fact that he hadn't let go of Yin's hand yet. Oooops! He quickly attempted to disentangle himself from Yins warm grasp, as he glowered at the female hunter in front of him.

"S-Said yes, am Mort." The reply to Angerona was soft, dreamy. FemMort wasn't even looking at her, poor dear.

This was so perfect, like Jack-in-the-o'-lantern perfect; no sarcasm detected. She had been swooped up into his mighty arms like they were living out the description of some cheesy 50% romance novel. Now all that was left was to get the blond boil out of the picture so Eris could have both hands free, perhaps try some sort of pickup line or two, or maybe ask what s/he would've liked for Christmastival -

- and then it went dark, and FemMort's words were drowned out. She landed with a whump and sat there dazed for a moment before realizing that the scenery had changed. No more purple monster thing, no more gold, no more . . . boobs.

Well it wasn't as if he missed those stupid nonexistent things anyway.

Most notably, however, was the fact that Mort was in his old team uniform, glowing green accents and everything. Taken by surprise, Mort couldn't help but grin a bit as he touched the fabric. This was the first gift he had ever been given upon entering Amityville, and by (at the time) strangers even. And to think, the zomboil who wore this months ago was different from the one who currently wore it . . . Amazing what two holidays did to a guy.

But he had to think about what was going on now, had to make a plan. Hunters were on the prowl now, and with narrowed eyes he looked about in hopes of seeing either of the two figures he would just love to get to know better. But neither Caelius's nor the pink-haired ghoul's faces or voices could be heard or seen in the ensuing battle. "Mrrrrrr." A growl. He stood back up and brushed grass off his pants.

Mort then located Eris once more and briefly, still riding on remnants of bravado from his more feminine form, touched her hand with his cold one, looking up at her with determination. "Do n-not like, will stay with you," he declared, like he could promise nothing would change it - even the things beyond his control. "Owe you. Kn-Know Hunters will come for you. Will stay."

And Mort was going to . . . protect her? As if the heir had shown any evidence pointing to her needing a bodyguard. But he wold wait nonetheless until Eris had recovered from the sudden shift of environment before plunging into that infernal fog once more. He did feel pretty bad, however, when he remembered that the new student Gerona had been about when this all happened - where was she? In place the zomboil glanced about, hoping the poor ghoul hadn't been snatched or attacked by one of the damn Hunters.

The idea that Yin would not protect a ghoul was not completely unheard of, but to not protect a ghoul that was a friend? It did not matter that she protested, he was determined to help her out. While Alexander did not speak for him, in this case he had nothing to add so he stayed silent. He was even more determined to assist Miss Xiu-Ying when he saw her join in a battle that had been three against one.

He was trying to take a moment to figure the situation out when Alexander moved forward, tugging his hand in one direction that let him slightly off balance. He drew back his hand as quickly as possible and when on the offensive. There was no time to waste thinking too hard about the situation, he would simply attack the one that Miss Xiu-Ying had attacked, hoping to encourage it to target him instead of the ghoul.

"Greetings," he said coolly, arm lashing out to punch the male. His movements were sluggish, he felt his arm connect and could not ask for more at the moment.

Genora watched at the room go dark then fall onto her butt in front of what looked to be a haunted house. She shook her head as she rose only to find that she wasn't a he anymore. She gave a sigh of relief then realized the children weren't children, but hunters. She looked around for the horseman and the zomboil as well. She watched as the two were close to each other and began to head towards them. "Mort, Eris! You two alright? Nice threads." She said then added as she admired his new outfit. She moved her gaze towards the horseman with a smile. "Now I can see the horseman of war in their real form. Strong and beautiful." She said with a slight giggle. She looked toward the house that had a thick layer of fog around. "We should stick together!"

Honestly, Lizzy wasn't sure what happened next; when the room started to shift and collapse, he tried to tighten her grip on the picture frame, only to hear a cracking sound a moment later. On instinct, he hugged the two minipets close and squeezed his eyes shut, unwilling to let them go even as the picture frame came loose and he fell into the darkness below...

... When all was still again, Lizzy opened her eyes- Wait, she was a her again! As she tried to make sense of the events that had led up to the present, her conclusion was that it must had been a dream - a very weird, messed up dream. However, feeling something warm and furry moving about in her arms reminded her of Aymet and the familiar-looking student she - he? - had decided to put into her/his ribcage for safety, as well as-

"Hunters," She muttered to herself, climbing up from the ground quickly. It didn't take her long to realize where she was, and what she was wearing - which was good, because that meant that the two minipets left with her could be stuffed into her backpack, after she had emptied it of its contents. With the minipets in relative safety, Lizzy looked around at the chaos around her as hunters and students clashed; she would normally stay to help, but catching a glimpse of the hunter with a scythe, Lizzy followed, stumbling through the fog as she tried desperately not to get lost.

Mac'll probably be angry at her for putting herself in danger... But she had to follow! She had to!

... Not that she was successful in her attempt to follow after the Master hunter; she just found herself back where she started.  

[lizbot]

Attention still focused downward, Clarice began to softly sing, "I've got a lovely set of coconuts..."  

[danse-hexe]

There was more than just a moment's disorientation when everything shifted- and they all fell through the floor- and Reine found herself in her normal body, in a place that was completely unfamiliar, and honestly, just a little bit intimidating. Everywhere around her they were there; she didn't need calculations to tell her that she could not take them all down, and even with the help of her fellow hunters, possibly, it would be tough.

Instinctively her hand moved to touch her ears, but Alynthe's voice in her head was enough to let her know that she hadn't lost her weapon. Reine summoned the swordbreaker, and ran one finger along the flat of the blade. If it came to it she was prepared to fight, after all she was a hunter.

A rustle in the bushes behind Reine had her turning to face one of the monsters, a boy with.. black doggy ears and a fluffy tail, in pajamas.

Thackery.

She swallowed, nervous, unwilling to attack, but the swordbreaker stayed where it was in front of her. In the past, the monsters had threatened her; she still remembered Mac's words, and the viciousness with which he'd said them, but Thackery was.. different. He'd protected her from the others, for whatever reason. She owed him her life.

And yet, what could she do? It was her job to hunt them down, to destroy them. If she stopped here, would she hesitate to kill the ones he loved, would she stand by and let her own friends suffer at their hands? A quick glance around told her all she needed to know; her kind were fighting his, there was no compromise, no middle ground. Sooner or later someone else would attack her; sooner or later, someone would come after him.

We're friends, right?

Reine stared at him. She shouldn't have needed to think for so long; the answer was right there in front of her.

"Maybe." No, they weren't friends, not quite yet, she didn't know what they were, but they weren't enemies. In a different situation perhaps she would not have hesitated to say yes, but not here, when you didn't know who was watching, or what would happen the very next minute. She did not lower her weapon even as she turned away from him to watch the battle, but she trusted that he had her back.

"Stay behind me."

It was her turn to protect him, at all costs.

Nothing Yet

 

[Manda]

Then the world went crazy again. Tiny-Tedan was suddenly not so tiny anymore and they were somewhere else entirely .... somewhere completely unfamiliar to the Sun trainee. It looked like some kind of haunted house. Also, he was wearing different clothes and his coat was gone.

"Okay, what the hell," Tedan muttered. Looking around, he frowned and called to the closest two Hunters he could see, "What is going on and where the ******** are we now?!"

"Hey I may be a brute flea bag, but don't mess with someone who can put a cone around your scrawny neck!" leon bit back, flashing his teeth at the dark doglike creature. did all the dogs in here have such a nasty attitude?

and then he got a heel to the leg. the slight know was enough to keep the boxer from punching tybalt again and had him stumbling when a green skin figure came up to punch him.

he punched him. HE. punched. HIM.

the blow didn't have as much force of a featherweight spar but the premise still rolled around in the life hunters brain like it was a uppercut. The hello didn't even register as he stumbled back a few more steps and snarled at the duo, but mostly to the antennae one.

"if you want to punch, then i guess i'll have to take more drastic measure." he muttered in a low angry snarl, eyes glaring daggers while nid roared to life in his hands.

-Nid. that jimminy cricket ******** there. I want him dead.-
So it shall be done, you have the dragon's rage in you now.

"Well if you're sur-" Mandy barley got her reply out before everyone (ok two Hunters) decided it was clearly Mandy Season as she suddenly found herself slashed and engulfed in a plume of something.

She was a bit too busy trying to sneeze and cough at the same time to figure out what exactly. Why is it that senstive senses was always a down side. It was not suppossed to work like this.
