[ENTERING + GETTING LOST IN THE HALLWAY]

Xiu jumped a foot in the air when Vaith suddenly spoke up from behind her, whirling around to face the boy with wide eyes. "WHA--" She promptly clamped her hands over her mouth, cutting off her alarmed cry. Right, they were supposed to be quiet. It wouldn't do anyone good if she revealed herself and the others, right? A few moments passed in silence before she slowly moved her hands, staring up at the reaper with a puzzled look.

"You've...been in there before?" Considering how he was encouraging her to go in, that seemed to be the case. Xiu cast the reaper an anxious look before nodding, moving into the darkness that was the hallway. It didn't take long until she found herself completely lost.

....................Oh Jack, uh. W-where was she going?! "...Vaith?" Maybe she should have asked for directions first.

It took another fifteen minutes of aimless wandering before Rikki stumbled out of the darkness and into the weirdly familiar locker room. Not familiar in that he'd been here before, but familiar in the sense that all locker rooms are generally the same. And in that respect, generally held the same level of unpleasantness. As he eyes adjusted and he absorbed his surroundings, he realized he'd found Danny and walked closer to her. "Why is there a locker room back here?" Not that he really expected Danny of all people to have the answer.

The boxes were probably more curious than the locker room itself. There were everywhere, marked with neat, blocky letters that he assumed made out names. Danny had singled out on one, but before he could find out why, something caught his eye. The name Viviane stretched across one of the boxes, though the handwriting was far too masculine to be hers. He reached out to run his fingers along the edge and frowned. Despite her less than pleasant character, he'd kind of come to know her. Was it any wonder seeing her name would bring him a little bit of sadness?

But maybe this wasn't her box at all. Maybe there was another Viviane and he was being ridiculous.

Calder was utterly lost, but luckily Amrita's calling had directed him, after bumping in the wall a few times, to her. Soon he was out of the dark and staring at the familiar face of the ghoul, and breathed out a sigh of relief. "I saw you go through this secret hallway and followed. It's SO dark. I thought I was lost for good."

He sighed, before looking past her and all around. "Aww. It's not a library at all."

Roch gave up for the day. He had actual work to do, dammit, and this was getting on his nerves. So he headed out, not bothering to even talk to the jackin' teacher that had their eye on them.

Danny nodded and picked the box up. It's not like May would miss it anyways. She was ...

"Not sure," she said, picking up the box. "I was gonna ask Yin, 'cause I thought he was behind me, but ... I guess not." Come to think of it, where had the mantis gone?

The weight of the box surprised her, as she picked it up she lurched backwards, losing her balance for a quick moment until it was recovered and she sort of teetered from side to side trying to hold it. "Who's Viviane? Did you see her in the trance?" she asked, eyeing the box Rikki was looking at. "Blargh this thing is super heavy. I'm gonna try walking it back- you want help with Viviane's er whatever?"

((Exit))  

[DarkHeartedSorrows]

He frowned at the box a moment longer, and then nodded. "Yeah, she was a demoness." He gave his ghoulfriend a bewildered look as she decided to just make off with the box, but honestly, there was no one else around to claim them. He'd stuck around with her to the end, so he supposed he kind of had a right to take it. In an abstract way.

He shook his head and hefted the box to his shoulder with a grunt, leaning every so slightly with the weight. Jesus, had she packed up every bit of gold she'd owned or something? "Nah, I've got it. You worry about yours. Lets get out of here before someone notices we're back here." He motioned her forward, prepared to take up rear. Danny had the tail torch, so she could light the way back. Besides, the view was always spectacular from behind.

[ In the locker room! ]

Amrita couldn't resist hugging Calder when he found her. She couldn't explain why, but she just really, really needed to hug someone. A friend, at the very least. Perhaps it was the room, perhaps it was from finding a box to Sophie, who couldn't ever hug anyone again. It made her appreciate what she had, knowing it could easily be taken from her.

"Y-yeah...looks like they were looking for something. But look..." She hoisted Sophie's box, having kept it closed despite hearing it unlock. "You did the trance thing, right? ...I followed a ghoul named Sophie. This is..." Amrita trailed off, looking down sadly at the heavy box. This was Sophie's, she knew it even more than just the name scrawled across it.

Calder didn't mind hugs, and after being yelled at by a teacher and getting lost in the dark, he was happy to get a little attention from a friend. For the hug she gave, he gave her a tight, monster-hug back. It was good she was an undead since he didn't have to worry about breaking her - well, there were always parts if that happened.

Releasing her, he looked down at the box she held and how she trailed off. "Oh. Yes. I followed a ghoul too. A scorpion monster of some sort. She was very pretty." Nice shoes, and he was very curious about them ever since the trance.

However, just like how Amrita trailed off, he too frowned. "She was a nice person. Do....you think she had a locker here?" The lockers on either side looked very old after all. "Why would Arel have a hallway leading to this part of school?"  

[ramenli]

Yin was not actually trying to get to the lockers, he had been there before. All of the things he wanted that had been Octavia's were in his room. So when he saw a bit of flame go by, leaving the lockers, he just followed it (and presumably Miss Danny) out.

[LOCKER ROOM]

Zar wandered past a few other students picking through the lockers, looking himself for a recognisable name. He had no idea if Sin had ever really existed or if he had simply been some figment of his imagination. It wasn't hard to see his imagination coming up with a quiet, reserved boil who didn't connect very well to his peers. He practically lived it, granted, without the quiet part. He was decidedly more outspoken than Sin was.

It took him some time but eventually he found a box in the wreckage of the old lockers, in a place he was sure he recognised, with the name he was looking for. Opening it, he saw the fleeting glint of gold and closed it tight again, grinning to himself in a way that showed almost every one of his fangs.

Delightful.

LOCATION: EXPLORING THE OFFICE

The Jiang Shi wasn't entirely sure what she was doing back here. For days she had avoided this part of the school. Wary of what might happen if she did return. There really wasn't anything here for her. Except an unfulfilled nagging of curiosity. She hadn't had much time to explore the secret locker room before.

Perhaps this time....perhaps there would be something more. She had flipped through the book she'd found. It was....interesting to say the least.

It seemed like security was busy with some of the other students who had found their way back here again. Tentatively, Mei slipped into the office. It was still a mess as much as it had been when she'd first come here. Her eyes went instantly to the spot where the hidden door had been.

Down there. Down there was where something happened. That was where her memories had left her. One minute she had been standing there in front of a locker, the next she had blinked and it felt like a lifetime had passed.

She payed no real mind to any of the other students who had slipped by without getting caught. Slowly she slid around the mess, heading towards the dark hallway again.

((Heading towards the hallway))

LOCATION: THE HALLWAY INSIDE

Mei felt like she was snooping. This place had no signifigance to her except leaving a slew of questions in the back of her mind. All the other students seemed to have a purpose for being here.

As she slipped into the dark hallway, the ghoul ran her hand along the cool walls. Her eyes were not made for this darkness so it was a bit tricky navigating. She found the trap door and had slid down deeper into the darkness that lead back to the locker room. Her steps quiet and cautious.

((And off to the locker room of curiosity~ ))
