Chance had not followed Jack's advice, as he probably should have, and had gone back to the Haunted House on his own. It was more out of curiosity than anything else, though his duty shift had put him on the roster for patrolling, so really he'd had no choice.
Asher was already summoned when he arrived at the house, Chance's gloved fingers holding the icy bow and arrow steady. He wasn't about to take any chances, regardless of what the others had said, and being prepared was a key aspect to survival.
The first hour was spent just walking up and down the hallways, but the second was where it all began to be more interesting.
{ something is in that room }
Chance took a few cautious steps forward, lifting the bow and arrow so that it was poised and ready as he rounded the corner. The room in front of him was large and spacious, and there was certainly something in the room - or rather, someone.
He smiled.
"Greetings," said Chance mildly. "And who might you be?"

She almost looked human. Almost. But he knew better than to trust just the physical appearance of someone in the house by now, even with having gone on is own. The spear was enormous, and once again it was short range versus long range.
Focus, Chance thought.
"Hel?" he said lightly. "As in 'hell hath no fury..?' "
She had leapt towards him; he drew back the arrow with a sharp snap, aiming for her torso, Chance's feet skidding on the glossy, dusty hardwood floor. It went true, whistling through the air, and he quickly sidestepped, trying to dodge her lance.
"You're a feisty one," he said mildly. "I'd give you my name too, but you can just call me Star for now. It's less intrusive."

"Even one L in Hel still makes hell," said Chance good naturedly. He tried to get away from her next swing, but the spear caught him around the stomach, smacking hard and sending him flying off to the side. He gave a gasp of pain and fell to his knees, dragging himself vertical a second later.
"Ah," said Chance, slightly wheezing, as he tried to thread another arrow, firing it off quickly. "But see, I don't give out my name so easily to those of the Halloween persuasion. But please, by all means, tell me more about yourself, Lady Hel."

His eyebrows rose.
"Is it not spelled h-e-l-l, then?" Chance asked curiously. "I assume then it's only one 'l?' Or maybe, if you want to be dramatic, I suppose it could be something like h-e-l-e, or h-e-l-l-e, if you're attempting to be really fancy about it, but something tells me that's not the case with you, whatever or whoever you are."
His smile was somewhat amused, but there was a sharpness to it as well.
"I've never been afraid of curses," he said lightly. "I'm just one curious individual, is all. Curious, and cautious."
The last part wasn't entirely true, but he at least was rational in his thinking. Hel's lance scraped across his torso, and Chance gasped out a breath, staggering sideways. He pulled his bow towards him and tried to get some distance between them, but his arrow merely flopped a little.
"Well, that's good at least. No one likes underhanded or dishonorable actions."

She was certainly vivacious, this...creature (he wasn't really sure what to call her, exactly). Loud and not really abrasive, but certainly opinionated and confident in her own abilities. The lance itself was not terrifying, but it was intimidating, especially since Chance had only his bow to fight back with.
"I can tell you're not one to be cautious, no," he said with a laugh, but the spear slammed into him, knocking the breath completely out of him. Chance let out a gasping wheeze and collapsed down to one knee. His head spun unpleasantly, and he raised his head to look up at Hel again.
"What are you, exactly?"

Chance was brought to a knee, and through years of battling and training, Hel instinctively knew there was no need to keep going. After all, she wasn't out to harm or maim the majority of hunters now a days, not when the lot of them existed in a heavily gray area. Instead, Hel stood, and she let the blade of her spear touch the floor, and let go of her weapon. It stood upright on its own for a few moments before it dissipated into a black mass, and then reformed into a horse-sized raven familiar.
The familiar ruffled its feathers, letting out a 'wark' as Hel strode over to the hunter, and she offered a hand to him.
"Tell me your name, and I will tell you." She grinned down at him.

Oh ho. So that's how he wanted to be, eh? Hel's grin stayed, even as the arrow scratched her palm. "I admire that spirit, guy!" She replied cheerfully, and pulled her hand back to smack it against the arrow and back towards him. "More honorable to die on your knees, trying~"
The reaper stayed where she was, and her familiar stilled, watching the interaction, as she did not revert it back to the weapon form.
"But I will not kill you. I have no desire to. It is best you use your pendant and port out now, ya? Your shield is teetering."

It was probably stupid, still fighting. Jack had warned him not to go to the House by himself, at least until he was promoted, and yet Chance's curiosity had dragged him along anyway. He didn't believe in regrets, and he didn't regret coming here, but there was a certain sense of wistfulness that he should have probably listened to the warnings.
Still. This whole interaction was interesting enough to pull him forward.
"I could do that, maybe," he said and smiled. "But you still haven't told me what you are, yet, and now I really just want to know."
This time he really did stab her in the hand.
