Shehk retreated behind Jericho before he lit up to unleash some fire upon TG. It seemed like the Imp had no problems with being lit up, where as Shehk had.. a few issues with fire. Still, she'd appreciated the warning from Jericho.
However, when TG spoke to Jericho as though he was a pet or a dog, Shehk huffed and wrapped her arms around the dragon's shoulder, seeming ready to growl.

That didn't work as well as he had hoped. So the imp was fire based. Crouching at the edge of the spring, a low growl came from deep within his throat. And thus the dragon just launched himself right at the imp. He was going to try and dunk him down. Maybe hold him under for a little bit. That should teach him.

OSHI-
WHEEEE!!! Okay, actually that wasn't as fun as it should have been, Shehk letting go of Jericho about when she was perfectly poised to just...hit the water, dunking in with a loud splash before she surfaced, completely soaked. She wouldn't have mind if it weren't for the fact that the temperature disparity made her really cold.
Okay, not really, she was still warmer than she would have been otherwise, but never the less she frowned a frown.
"Jericho! Jericho, stop!" she probably looked like a gimp splash-running round in the water to go and grab onto one of the dragon's arms.

The fire resistance wasn't the only trick. The growl alerted him that the boil was upset, which he honestly didn't care about. Monsters were known for their tempers. Still, it got him to crack open an eye to look at the dragon, and just in time to vanish in a puff of smoke.
He appeared two feet away on the ground, and looked around before grabbing a nearby taming stick. "Down!" He ordered the dragon. The dragon couldn't pummel him. He was in class. The professor would kick him out for sure!
Oh geez. It was cold out of the water! He grabbed a towel too and bundled up in in. Okay. That was a little better.

It took Jericho a moment to realize that the imp had shifted out of the water like that. With a snarl, he clambered out of the water, and reached out to try and grab him by the head.
"WE ARE NOT SOME PET TO BE ORDERED AROUND!!" he roared.

Shehk immediately moved to lodge herself between Jericho and the imp to try and keep things from escalating. "Stop! Stop it!" she pleaded. Damage control!! She needed dragon-damage control skills!! She was gaining them, but not quickly enough!!
"Jericho! Don't let him goad you on! He isn't worth your attention!"

TG wasn't about to be chewed on by a dragon today, and as the boil reached out to grab his head, he took the taming stick and hit....
....a ghoul's leg.
O_O?
Seems Shehk got in the way just in time.

"Hang on, hang on, calm down!" A headcrab flew between TG and Jericho, making an unpleasant screeching noise that punctuated Moira's exasperated words. "Taming sticks are not to be used on other students!! Gosh!"Fortunately for Shehk and anyone else who got whomped with a stick since the molerat battle, the Taming Solution had been entirely used on the molerats. They were now just ordinary sticks. Faintly glowy, but ordinary."Violence is not the answer. Well, it is sometimes! But not right now," she said, firmly. "Go get violent in the gym if you want, got it? Not here!"

That said, Moira turned back to Danny and Edel, her face smoothing back into its usual smile. "Oh, is that all? This is the Amityville springs, spookies! Plenty for all - DID YOU GET THE OTHER ROOMS CLEANED OUT YET?!"That last was shouted at full volume, focused on the gnomes. The ones who had stopped working to dangle their feet in the pools got up immediately, scurrying out of sight. "Be a pretty terrible school if we didn't have stuff for all the students," Moira said, happily. "Just give them a few minutes."Indeed, there was a sudden bang-clang-crash! of movement in the background, followed by some gnomish swearing - "NOT IN FRONT OF THE SNOTS!!". After a few minutes, as promised, a few gnomes staggered out of two offshoot tunnels and collapsed. Apparently this was a good sign, as Moira clapped her hands. "There we are! Amityville Really Really Hot Springs to the left, Amityville Not-Very-Hot-At-All Springs to the right! And I think there's some Amityville Acidic Death Springs in here somewhere, too. If you like that kind of thing."Quote: Hey hey hey, looks like there's a few offshoot rooms! Really Really Hot Springs: Lava pools and a smoke sauna! Not-Very-Hot-At-All Springs: Ice pools and a pool filled entirely with snow. Acidic Death Springs: What do you think? Each of the extreme springs has a failsafe spell over it to prevent unacclimatized students from falling in and dying (the spell acts like a 'skin' over the top, so students who'd die from lava just kind of bounce off the surface and onto the solid rock again). Possibly the only failsafes on ANYTHING on the ENTIRE CAMPUS. Gosh, these hot springs must have been set up a really, really long time ago...

Despite what Shehk was saying, Jericho was ready to bash the Imp's head into the ground. But thankfully a headcrab got into the way. Growling, he glanced at the custodian. He wanted to crush the little b*****d. And now. Not wait to take it out in the gym.
That was taking priority right now over relaxing in the springs. Lava, water, or otherwise.

Roch got out of the pool, finished untangling his ankle, and moved to another one. Because, seriously, tentacle monster plus spider monster in a hot springs. It was like... more than the poor punk kid could handle.

Stick to the leg.
Stick to the leg. Shehk, despite having been calm..ish... previously looked back at TG and growled, her teeth barely showing. "Watch it." she snarled. She was soaking wet and angry already.
Frankly TG was only being saved by her because she cared more about Jericho at the given moment.
Never the less, she soon turned her attention back to Jericho. "Jericho, please...it isn't worth it....."

Rising up and dropping the disgusting stick he had used, he looked up at her, and then to the dragon boil on the other side. There was a teacher here. The boil couldn't do anything without getting in trouble. "Do you always have your ghoulfriend fight for you?" He said, and then looked to the ghoul. "Don't be angry with me. You jumped in my way. Its not like you can't replace anything you loose." He looked to her leg. Undead.
These hot springs, though a nice temperature, was a bit too crowded. Sharing a bath with other people, now that he thought about it, was rather low of him. He had his own, custom bath in his own room. Well, at least he was clean now. Best to get dressed.

Why bother? Because hot springs were one of the absolute best physical sensations in Halloween, barring the pleasure felt after one had a nice, evenly matched spar...where one won of course. Yin really was a simple boil. Mort seemed concerned about being...vulnerable? But really, wearing a shirt was nothing important. And apparently zombies did not really like water, which just seemed wrong in many ways. A molerat was paddling at Yin, distracting him from thinking too hard about why the hot springs were. They existed, they felt good, and Yin for one was going to enjoy their discovery. So being splashed by a tiny bit of water? Not that big of a deal. But he grinned at the absurdity and laughed before sweeping his hand over the top of the water, sending a nice wave of steaming water at the zomboil, and whatever other creature was around to get hit by it.

Growling, Jericho straightened up, slowly calming down.
"You're right. Damn GNOME isn't worth our time," he snarled, making sure to say 'gnome' loudly to try and make sure the imp caught it.
"They're only good for punting," he added before turning away to go to the other side of the springs. He was nice and soaked now after having launched himself into the water. But right now, he did not give a single... damn.
