The Haunted House always had a way of turning up unexpectedly for students. Freya, Remi, Shun, and Aymet may have intended to go different paths today, but they all ended up in the overgrown grass outside the house. Coincidence?
Yeah, probably.
For those who explored it today, the front door opened onto a set of cold, damp stone stairs leading into a deep basement of sorts, definitely large enough for even several sizable natural forms to have room to move. Massive carved idols leaned against each other in the corners of the room, staring with empty sockets robbed of their jeweled eyes. A few smaller ones were smashed, as if they had fallen from a great height - and looking up would reveal rocky shelves of them like an audience, curving up toward the domed ceiling. The only source of light came from an oculus far above, dismal light from an unseen source, glinting off the many dead eyes.
The beam of light struck a huge green granite slab in the dead center of the room. Something glistened there, dripped off the side, still fresh. It looked like blood. And in fact, when eyes adjusted to the dark, they would see it everywhere - there was blood on the walls, on the idols, smeared up the stairs they just came down.
There was an oppressive feeling in the room; it seemed to crush any attempt to use FEAR or FEAR-charged attacks. As if taboo, somehow. Physical attacks, however, were much more effective...

Remi had indeed intended on spending the day actually doing something, but for once he had actually approached the haunted house willingly. He thought to himself this was his own willingness leading him there, but maybe it was something more. This... hell hole, had some rather painful memories for the kitsune. It was a place that he would have rather avoided, but if the silly little idea he had were to work... he would have needed this houses powers. Regardless as to why he was here did not matter at this point.
Cerulean tails flicked some as he found the trio of other students also mysteriously close to the house. Why? Coincidence? Call Remi a skeptic but he was starting to wonder. He actually did not know any of them. Not being one to shun formalities, he introduced himself before walking through the doors with them.
It was always safer in numbers, yes?
Dual toned eyes flicked back and forth as they finally entered the room, not really understanding what the hell was pulling them down in to this place. It was almost as if there was a master puppeteer above them, cackling their names and breathing down their necks as they descended down the stone stairway in to the room.
A quick glance was enough. "...Who else votes for going back the other direction, yes?" A pause, he narrowed his eyes to look at the walls as something caught his attention, hell even the FLOOR they were standing on was giving the same vibe. It was all covered with blood! "Oh now THATS just wrong." Gross, actually.

Freya had absolutely loved finding others like herself looking for some adventure. She had clung to Remi the moment she met him, but as soon as he suggested they turn back, she let go and rolled her eyes, trampling forward full speed ahead.
"What kinds of sense of adventure is thats, friend? We has teh goes and sees if we can finds some trouble, and then.." She slammed her fist into her hand. "WE SQUISH IT!"
She was a little over-excited about it. Clearly, Freya didn't get the real danger they were in - or perhaps, deep down, she did, and refused to accept it.

Jordan was almost certain that there hadn't been a door in that particular end of the hallway when he'd first checked it. He tested the doorknob; the door swung open easily, revealing a narrow, dark set of stairs that spiraled down into dimness. This hallway was otherwise a dead end; he coul go back, or he could go down the stairs.
Stairs it was, then. He trailed one hand along the wall to help keep his balance on the steep steps, and held Ferros rested across his shoulder with the other. The weapon's runes provided a red glow by which he could make out the next few steps. The stairway spiraled down improbable distances; he'd only been on the second floor. But this was the Haunted House.
When the stairs finally ended, he almost tripped as his foot came down harder than he'd intended on the floor. Just ahead, light glowed through the cracks around another door; he moved to open it, squinting at the glare of light in the room, even the dimness brilliant to eyes that had adjusted to near-dark.
The door swung shut behind him; when he turned to look, he couldn't see where it had gone, a squatting idol leering at him from stone eyes. The idols were everywhere, lining the walls. They dripped with blood, and the slab in the center of the room, so neatly spotlighted, was wet with it. "Sacrificial theater? Great," Jordan muttered.
Movement caught his eye, and he realized that there were other Hunters across the room. Otto and Deryk? Their patrol wasn't scheduled for another two hours. Or, at least, it hadn't been. There were freaks here as well; Jordan stayed close to the wall, in the shadow of the idols. Ferros dimmed his glow in response to Jordan's thought.

After the time he'd helped Jericho find the place, and the time a hunter had been killed here, Aymet didn't loathe or fear the Haunted House. He relished it every time the way opened again. A chance to make the hunters pay, what could be better than that?
"Yeah!" Aymet liked the way that reaper thought. A lot of them could squish a lot of hunters. In any sense of the word. Shun was more experienced with this sort of thing, and he seemed to be doing his best to stay hidden. And the blue guy? Aymet recognized him vaguely from the most recent trance, as everyone had flooded out. Aymet had walked in last and scampered over to one of the fallen statues to investigate, as if it was some kind of clue. He was hard to miss - a nightlight in the dark, two burning eyes and an orb floating in the shadows, an insult to everyone else's camouflage skills.
"I'm not turning back now. They're always in this place, like mold. I saw - we saw - what they've done. To the school, to the islands, to us, students. They won't stop unless we stop them." The dracolich had gradually lost the ability to dissociate himself from the memories he picked up from trance, until it all flowed neatly into his reasoning. There was no stepping back to be objective and wait when they lied and cheated, when they herded, kidnapped, weaponized, killed a teacher, blasted a civilization into Insanity, tore Halloween itself apart -
Aymet caught a flicker of something - red light, perhaps, or movement, on the far side of the room. He bristled inasmuch as a skeleton could, rising slowly up to a fighting stance. "Hunters."

Personally Remi would rather have just been napping somewhere, but it seemed to him that he had gotten dragged in to something much larger. Something that, in reality, he could not hide from. Even if he did run away he ran the risk of getting lost in the haunted house, alone. That was something the boil REALLY did not want. "Squishing...yes, squish things." He nodded towards the ghoul once more, saying he agree'd with her.
Still though his OWN instincts were enough to make him want to flee, it was just part of who he was. Thankfully he was recently learning to hold back some of that feeling. With the hunters around looking for such weakness, it was necessary to learn to cope. They would win otherwise.
Plus the kitsune REALLY needed to start looking in to his family roots, his heritage. He was a kitsune, evil little things in a adorable package. It was about time he lived up to it.
A blue ear flicked towards the dracolich, a single word was enough to cause him to pull up his guard. He went towards the ground, making himself a smaller target. Eyes glanced around the room, he sniffed the air... "Smells like them, cant tell how many but more than one for certain." One of the scents in particular was there, but faint. Was it who he THOUGHT it was? If so, bring it on buddy.
