The room Otto found himself in was less of a room and more of a little garden.
Amrita had found herself in the same room some time before Otto did, which gave her enough time to scope the place out...as she ran from tentacled vines. It caught her mid-run, tripping her as she dove though some bushes in an attempt to escape. Her landing was much less graceful than she intended it to be, and it ended with her landing hard on her back, the vines wrapped around her shoulders like a cowboy's lasso, pinning her arms to her sides.
"STUPID JACKIN VI---" She paused, trailing off as she caught sight of something white behind her. When she tilted her head back to see who it was, even upside down, she felt a cold chill run through her. It was a Hunter...and what was worse, it was the Hunter she had tried to kill not to long ago. The one who put her in the hospital for a week.
That kid.
"...NO!" She shrieked, both out of dismay and complete fear; there she was, helplessly caught by wriggling vines, practically at the feet of a Hunter she tried so hard to finish off.
Jack.
Jack Jack Jack.

WHY WAS HE STILL ALIVE HOW COULD HE STILL BE ALIVE SHE EVEN MANAGED TO ALMOST KILL HERELF IN THE PROCESS BUT SHE WAS UNDEAD SO HOW DID HE---
AUUUUUUUUGH
She struggled hard against the vines, making a lot of very upset and dismayed noises, and if she did say something it made little to no sense. Mentally she was a mess of outrage, and luckily she had the vines to fight against since, you know, it stopped her from taking it out on him. How dare he not die, after everything she did to him!
...Wait, he was leaving?!
"NO, WAIT--" Amrita cried out, desperate to figure out how in Jack's name this human survived. "Help, please!" So then she could kill you again! It was very important!

"...I guess." Amrita agreed slowly, a bit grudging the fact that he had a point. "I don't attack the seemingly good Hunters though." Except that one time with this kid but...well, we all see how that ended up; he was still alive, at least. "And I'd be less inclined to try and put you in the infirmary if you were nice to me from the start!" Which was true for the most part...again, except for this kid. Whoops.
"Then maybe you should reconsider your lot in life?" The ghoul said innocently, her deadpanned face turning into an almost sweet little smile, though she was still upside down. When he called her ladyface though, her expression fell, lips pulled into a thin line.
"Amrita." She said instantly, practically cutting him off as a reflex she had whenever someone called her something weird like 'babe' or 'doll' or 'ladyface'. "I don't make blind deals, but..." The ghoul struggled for a moment, then stared up at the boil again. "...I've got time to hear you out."

"Right. Amrita." Otto obliged, just to help build that dumb thing people called trust, or a bond or whatever. "And no. My lot in life is pretty damn set for me." He was finally starting to maybe get the hang of it. And besides. He still hated Halloween, but more importantly, he hated Horsemen. The only way to destroy them was to be a Hunter.
"But alright. We got ourselves an agreement. I'll set ya free, but if ya try and skitter off like a dirty lil' squirrel I'll---." He paused, humming shortly, seeming to regret saying that. "Or uh.. let's just be civil for now, aight? I be nice, you be nice. I ain't in the mood fer a fight."
Otto raised Tenya high up, the jagged edges gleaming, "Name's Otto, by the by." With a short grunt, he cut down the vines.

"Oh. Right. You work for assholes who won't let you quit." He sounded like Deryk there a little bit, and for a moment she considered feeling bad for trying to slaughter him in cold blood. The consideration fled when he started to threaten her, her expression narrowing to tell him off; she wouldn't stand for that, caught by vines or not. It didn't fade as he took it back to make his comments on being civil. "I give what I get, Hunter." He raised his weapon and a very real fear shot through the ghoul, a rising panic that set her mostly dead nerves on edge, shocking them back to life with survival instinct. Last time she was on the ground and a Hunter raised his weapon, it wasn't to free her.
Her eyes squeezed shut, waiting for the very real pain of both attack and betrayal that would never come. Instead the vines let out an inhuman shriek, echoing through the very bushes around them. What wasn't severed withdrew and the ghoul was quick to struggle free of the rest, being very quick to put a distance between them, but not making the moves to get up and run away completely.
"Otto." Well, now that he had a name she kind of felt bad. Kind of. He wasn't a nameless evil thing to her any more; he actually had an identity past 'blonde hunter who isn't Deryk or Robert'. She was very careful to keep the distance she had set, sitting down to show she was true to her word but in such a way that she could get up at a moment's notice, just in case.
She didn't trust him yet.
"What are you looking for?"

Oh good. She didn't run. That would have put him in a very bad mood, even if he was half expecting it. Otto sat back down too, de summoning Tenya to be a little more unthreatening.
"Lookin' fer a weird a** creature I ain't never encountered before. I know nuthin' about it cept what it looked like and what it did to me. Now I ain't sayin' I'm gunna go off and hunt it down'r nuthin', in case its a buddy of yours 'r sumthin." The teen leaned back on one hand, eyeing Amrita carefully. Geez, these Halloween things were freaky. He felt uncomfortable conversing with one. Maybe if she didn't look so dead and have half her face peeled off she might be pretty.
"I just need to know what it is, for now." He tried to picture the nightmare again in his mind, a deep grimace forming on his face. "It had.. detached limbs, almost floatin' seperate from the body 'cept they still moved like they were still attached. Glowy orbs fer eyes, no mouth, just a weird venty thing. But what got me all in a fright about this thing is what it does. It fought me, got me real beat up, then it took over my body." A shudder shot down his spine, the memory still so fresh and eerie.
"It made my hands and feet twist 'round, broke my ankle, and stabbed me in the ribs. If I hadn't been found when I was I woulda...." He held back the urge to throw up. "Now tell me what the Hell kinda monster has the power to do that? Are there a lot of'em? Tell me anythin' you know."

...
A sense of dread started to set in as he started to explain what he was after. He was looking for a creature that did something to him. Probably recently. That feeling grew as he started to describe the creature that had attacked him, and it was around that time she started to consider attacking him again, if only to get him to shut up and to perhaps actually die this time.
He was asking her to give him information...on herself.
"...Huh. That's a..."
"...Hrm....w-well..."
She looked down - rather, glanced down - at her backward hands, trying to nonchalantly shift to hide them, while changing the way she sat to hide her backwards feet as well. Hopefully, with any luck, it would come across as a fidget to make herself comfortable. Hopefully.
"C-can't say I've ever h-heard of something that can do, uh, that, but uh..."
"...That sounds pretty terrifying. N-not being in control...or something..." cough.
