October: All Hallows Eve

[Matrim Gallagher]

"I don't know about the doors, but I'm sure there's somewhere here we can find to hide out. But I'm hungry to... Did they have food set out here? That would have been smart --" Sara said, as Matrim nodded along. He agreed that if they hadn't had food there, the should've had food there for them to eat. After all it was a dance and you needed energy to keep dancing. Not to mention if the punch was spiked it was probably a good idea to have something to fill you up along with it.

Then the lights went off, and Matrim's whole body switched into being alert. Adrenal glands starting doing there job, his eyes focused on what appeared to be... well... nothing. His mind cleared up slightly, the buzz coming down with the sudden rush.

"What's going on?" Sara said, tightening her grip on Matrim. Matrim pulled her in close, looking for the lights. Sara let out a scream as some came on. Matrim was completely alert now. Not completely functional quite yet, but at least he was alert. This allowed him to control some of those pesky emotions like fear and panic. After that Sara managed to start making her way to a section of wall without a door.

"Don't panic," Matrim said, looking around trying to see people. It was all very red, and then a scream outside of the gym. Matrim gripped tightly as he heard the sounds following it. He then yelled out, "EVERYONE AWAY FROM THE DOORS!"

He was taking charge, or attempting to, they needed to think this out. Matrim looked around for those who he knew were stronger. Even if they didn't get along, "Sara, we need to find out what's going on.... David Blaze are you around? Gabriel, any other Black Knights? Katsuri? Does anyone know what the hell is going on here?"

He said once he and Sara had reached a wall. He tried to get the attention of these people because Black Knights were at least organized and David Blaze seemed to be the helpful guy who wanted to help the school. Right now Matrim was only worried about Sara and his own preservation, but in the end helping others could help himself. And it was best to do things in a group then split apart.

[Amber Dawn]

Amber sat up in her chair as the lights in the room went out completely. Raising her brow slightly as she reached up, pulling the headphones out of her ears. It was just about then that the emergency lights kicked on. The room filling with that horrid red glow. At first, she simply thought the idiot messing with the sound system and the lights had blown a fuse or something. But then the sounds started, causing a shudder to run down her spine as she pushed back from the table. Moving now to stand. Oh great. Now what? Could she not get one freaking NORMAL day? Heh..This from the girl who had voices in her head that she talked to. Classic. But speaking of the voices...they were not saying anything. This realization distracting her from what was going on for a moment as she reached up and tapped the side of her head. What the hell? Did she break or something? Another chilling sound, almost unearthly in nature, drawing her attention back to the matter at hand.

Guys, I could really use you now....

Whispering to herself this time as she backed away from her spot near the wall. Yeah, so not the place she wished to be right now. Moving to tuck that MP3 back into the waist of her skirt. If the voices ever came back they were never gonna let her live this down. They had told her to go home, but she had not listened. Well, now she was going to pay for it wasn't she. Sighing softly she took a few more steps back, moving more toward the center of the room. Though making sure not to get too close to everyone else. It was like second nature to her now.

W..What is that noise?

She almost whimpered out in relief at that familiar sound bouncing around in her head. Closing her eyes lightly as she drew in a relieved breath. For a minute there she had thought they had left her completely. That was a scary thought, more so to her than the sounds coming from outside.

I don't know...

Once more answering herself as she lifted her hand to push back her hair from her face. Those eyes going toward the door now. Not sure what was happening, but sure that whatever it was, was not going to be good. She was never going to deny those voices again. That was for sure. Finally finding a spot to stop which was a safe distance from any walls or doors she crossed her arms over her chest, little hands gripping tightly to herself.

[Drea]

Drea was almost relieved when the tall man turned and picked her up. First, she was off her feet, which was always a blessing. Second, the fact that he'd picked her up meant it was Katsuri... Or she'd just be point-blank weirded out.

"Mm. Rea. I was wondering if you were going to show up. Jenna, this is Rea, Rea, this is Jenna."

Yep, this was definitely Katsuri. She hadn't, after all, introduced herself to anyone else just yet. She let herself lean against him, the length of the red dress being obvious as the fabric dangled beneath her. The dress itself was almost an entirely appropriate descriptor for her, easily revealing her small size, and her obvious inability to defend herself. Most others that fought wouldn't have chosen something to wear that had quite so many layers - or even so little use but to be decorative.

"Hello, Miss Jenna." she said politely to the other girl, unsure of how to act. She felt as though she'd interrupted something. She probably had.

As she waited for the other girl's response, though, the lights went out.

Suddenly, Drea was very relieved that she'd found Katsuri.

The red emergency lights came on, but instead of relief, Drea became more nervous. In half-light such as this, she wouldn't know what was coming at her - she'd only know that something or someone was. The problem with that? She wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

She figured she could just hide behind Katsuri or whatnot if that happened. Maybe find something like a chair and try to help.

Then came the scream. A shrill, pain filled shriek that had Drea caught between sympathy and fear. Sympathy for the pain. Fear of the cause. She was trembling, but as soon as she realized it, she clenched her teeth, and clasped her hands tightly together, doing her best to control the shaking. She... She wasn't used to things like this. Having been sheltered for all her life - well fed, well dressed, well educated, and whatnot - this was scary. It was the kind of thing you typically only saw in movies... But having not seen very many of those, Drea was scared.

The sound of blood had her closing her eyes and wishing she could close her ears, too. This... she wasn't sure if this was an event planned by the school or not, but if it was, she really didn't like it.

The growling sound, though, was the worst of them. She sincerely doubted that any machine could imitate such a disturbing sound and ensure it's emulation in a high school quite so thoroughly.

"K-Katsuri...? W-what was that?" she asked quietly, doing her best to keep her voice level.

[Charles Bass]

(OOC: I give myself permission to manipulate Mischa :})

Chuck smiled as Reira hugged her friend and they both jumped up on the table and started...grinding. He stared up at them, biting his knuckle. This was too much to handle. But as things were getting interesting, he saw a fist fly at him. Lucky he had that mask or it would have hurt and done major damage... hopefully it would have hurt the fucker's hand. Chuck stumbled back, but caught himself on the table Reira and her friend were dancing on. It was sore, and his face grew annoyed, not scared or mad, just the same expression he would get if a fly flew around him.

"That intimidated?"

Mischa jumped off the table and just stared at Gabriel.

"What the fuck, Gabe? You just punched Satan..." Chuck shook his head and shifted his jaw a couple times. Gabriel sucker punched him, because he is scared his girlfriend would cheat on him. Shame, Gabriel wasn't confident enough...

"You know... You have a problem. Commitment issues?"

The lights then cut out. There was no sign of light and he couldn't ever remember being in a place this dark before. Chuck protectively grabbed for Reira's hand, searching for it in the dark. He felt that lasso in her hand and that is how he knew it was her.

Then the lights came on... a red tinge...

"What the hell happened?..." he looked down at his and Reira's hand and he let go.

[Gilgamesh Magnius]

Gilgamesh tried to get people to get away from the doors.

"Guys! get away from the door!" He started to yell at people and push them back, he pushed a couple people down by accident and and heard loud banging on the door.

Gilgamesh froze.

".... We arnt alone here!" Gilgamesh turned to the door and cracked his neck. "Everyone! when the doors open and what ever is out their comes out here, try and make an escape."

This school is FUCKED! (OOC:All who agree say "aye")

But Gilgamesh loved it.

Gilgamesh wasn't afraid to die to have people live. he wasn't a hero, he was a fool.

Gilgamesh slowly walked to the door, trying to figure out what was going on.

[Reira DeMorvick]

Reira danced crazily away with Mischa, the actions bringing back fond old memories. Chuck just watched them, biting his knuckle. What a little pervert. Winking at him, she wrapped an arm around Mischa’s neck, brought her forward, and was just about to kiss her…just for the hell of it…when a dark streak came jumping out of no where towards them. All dancing stopped as she saw Gabriel throw a powerful punch at Chuck’s face. Ouch. Hopping off the table, she stood between them, ready to stop a fight if one ensued.

“What’s your probleml?! Do you always just randomly punch people?! It was just a dance, calm down. Chuck, enough with your smart ass mouth.” she said in an alcohol induce rage. Shaking her head at him, she turned around to see if the damage on Chuck. She knew that he was a little touchy, but that didn’t mean that he deserved to be punched. He didn’t do anything to her that equalled a punch..yet. “You okay?” This was most definitely a kill-joy. And wasn’t Gabriel sharing a pretty close dance with Alexis just a few minutes ago? They had gotten as close as her and Chuck did. Reira knew Alexis loved Gabriel, but she didn’t go up deal her a blow to the face.

She sighed. “Gabe let’s just---Whoa!” Just then the building was swallowed in darkness. Reira felt her whole body tense. She couldn’t see anything and it was more than a little creepy…she was really scared, but would never show it of course. Feeling someone tug on the Golden Lasso around her waist, she grabbed onto the person, holding their hand tightly. The red-tinged emergency lights turned on and she saw that the person she was next too was Chuck. Upon seeing this, she let go of his hand and hugged herself. Awkward.

“I don’t like…this feeling…”

As if on cue, a curdling scream could be heard, and Reira freaked then. She covered her ears with her hands and willed it to stop.

[Gabriel Seran]

(ooc: Aye!)

Gabriel rubbed his knuckles the brim of skin at his knuckles split and bleeding from what the mask had done to them but he was sure the little prick had suffered some damage. Good, he felt the scales were evened out at this point.

"What the fuck, Gabe? You just punched Satan..."

A small smile lit his face, "I know.."

Then Reira seperated the two and started tending to the prick who had treated her with such disrespect. An almost confused look lit his face. Why? Looking to Mischa for an answer he'd probably get nothing out of her before Reira turned to reacknoledge him once more.

“Gabe let’s just---Whoa!”

With that the lights went out, he felt himself consumed with protective energy. The fight or flight syndrome kicking in looking around as the red lights returned.

“I don’t like…this feeling…”

Gabriel moved forward in a protective stance holding her around the waist resting his head beside her ear. "Don't worry I'll stay here okay..."

Gabriel's eyes searched the dimly lit room as a sense of panic seemed to consume them all. Old enemies seeking out refuge grasping some sort of union. Trust however was a fleeting thing.


"David Blaze are you around? Gabriel, any other Black Knights? Katsuri? Does anyone know what the hell is going on here?"

Gabriel would remain still his grip still firm at Reira's waist making sure she'd stay with him all the while.

"Not a chance... The only way in is through the doors lets stack these table's up against them...Just in case..." Gabriel would say acknowledging a temporary truce.

"Rei, hey you all right?" He would say slipping his hand to her cheek noticing the flushed expression on her face. The sudden smell of pot on her made it all too clear what was going on.

"Stay with me okay, well get through this.." He gave a calm smile kissing her gently as his hand seeked for her's in return.

Garbiel would then move to the punch tables moving them aside. "Students of #259, we have to work together here... Move these tables to the doors quickly.." Gabriel would say taking it upon himself the role of leader.

[seishounohana]

The moment the lights had started flickering, Emily stopped dancing and pulled away from Ryuu. Yup, something wasn't right.

What a time to have the lights go out, right? It was either indicative that the electrician sucked majorly, or there was something strange afoot. It was a classic event in horror novels; or at least, Emily theorized that it was so.

There were few things that Emily feared; very few in fact.

The darkness wasn't one of them.

It was strange though, how dark it became. "Ryuu?" She said, hoping to affirm if Ryuu was still nearby. Maybe it was a bad idea to let go of him considering what had happened. Meh, a bad choice.

There would be little to do right now, but to wait.

Funny how late the emergency lights were, and the color Red made her worry even more. What? Emily wasn't really a fan of the said color, especially one that flashed around like a siren...

Everything was a bit creepy; and Emily, being like any other normal person in the world would not necessarily be afraid, but a little worried. Maybe something might happen? If this was someone's idea of a Rick-roll, then someone would have to lose their head.

Really, REALLY badly.

"... This is creepy." She noted, just as the scream coming from outside the Gym. "... Yeah, really creepy."

Then a low, almost fiendish growl...

...

Oh god, please let it not be a Dog.

For the love of God, no Dogs!

[Mitsukai]

"Me? Blow it? I'm a Captain dressed up as a clown. What could possibly go wrong?" he laughed and then released her, inviting her to take the lead this time. Mitsukai had never really danced on her own before and didn't even know if she could dance. All she knew was the type she saw in the hip hop music videos that she had seen on TV. Focusing on the song she began to move, her hips swaying to the rhythm of the music. When the song finished he lead her to the snack table, pouring two drinks for himself and then offering one to her. Mitsukai took a swig, for punch it had quite a strange aftertaste to it. Her head was already feeling funny after one cup. It'd probably best if I don't touch this again. she thought to herself. Taking her hand again the two were about to head off for another round of dancing when the music stopped. What the? she looked around to see what was going on. Only to find three guys standing near by the now destroyed lighting and sound board. Well that was short lived.

Suddenly the lights were cut off plunging the entire room in a eerie suffocating darkness. Within seconds the emergency lights switched on, and noises could be heard from just outside the room. Someone screamed.... What was going on? was this some sort of sick joke? Deep down she knew that this wasn't some sort of practical joke, something terrible was happen in the school and now everyone were trapped right in the middle of it all... she looked up at her partner and spoke in a low soft tone "Is there any other exits besides the way we came in?" If they could find some way out of here soon they might just be able to make it out alive.

[Mischa Badoer]

They were dancing and of course the Devil liked it. Reira was close to her.. sooo close to kissing. They were friends and all...buuut there was that little bit of her that made Mischa somewhat attracted to her... C'MON MEGAN FOX?!

THEEEENNNN Gabriel returned the favor of blue ballsing and joined the group.

Mischa watched as Gabriel punched Satan. Now that was uncalled for. Mischa jumped down from the table and she could only stare at Gabriel....and of course re question his drastic measures. He smiled at the fact he had done that and Mischa's face was like...

Violence D=?

Reira stepped in and wanted to help Devil... And Gabriel gave her a questionable stare. Mischa didn't have Reira's mind, so she didn't know what the hell was going on... she didn't even know why he punched him... it was a dance.... people dance? And then the power went out Instantly, Mischa ran.

Though it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything therefore...

"Ouef!!" She smoked right into someone..and fell on her ass. The lights turned on, but they were red and creepy. When they turned on, they would see Mischa's tears. One thing you can learn about Mischa... it is only one word; Pussy. Yeah, she was a hardcore mafia chick that loved guns..but deep down she gets scared easily. She looked up to see the being she had bumped into and it was Victor. She was hella embarrassed and stood up, in a frantic matter. A scream was heard and people were making plans and such. That only made Mischa panic more and she clung to Victor. If he was her entertainment..he was gonna damn well be her protector.

That and because Gabriel was holding on to Reira D:<

[David B.]

David's eyes shifted.

They said fear sobered you up quick, and this was oh so true. He was terrified, but with it came strength and reasoning. Still, it had an effect, but he could initially act himself. He clasped the hand of the girl and waited, charging his Qi almost immediately. He didn't like this. It was strangely similiar to a horror film, and he wouldn't be letting it happen. Not in his school. He whispered in her ear.

"You stay close to me, and dont touch that stuff."

He wouldnt leave-not yet. He looked around, seeing Gabriel and Emily, and listened to people calling out.

"This is David Blaze." He stepped forward, swiftly removing his hair piece and nose, dropping them as he reached the edge of the light pool. What the hell was going on? He looked up at the sounds stage and noted the few people up there. He spoke loud enough for everyone in the light circle to hear him clearly.

"We need to remain calm. The light above us seems to be our current point of interest. Being that everything is black as hell, we probably don't want to go anywhere." He turned toward the crowd. "I want the following people to step forward. Matrim Gallagher. Gabriel Seran. Katsuri Katashi. Emily Del los Santos." Once they all came forward he spoke to them directly, though loud enough to be heard by everyone. "I want you divided up among the crowd and-" He was cut off by screams a loud growling. The sound of tearing meat. "Keep order. Keep everyone together. You are the strongest in the school. Make sure to help keep control."

He hoped he wasn't making a bad decision.

"Now i don't know whats happening, and if its some sick joke by students i WILL find out. Until that time, i suggest you don't touch anything unless you have to. Alex Hikari, step forward too." He looked between him and Matrim. "I want both your Qi activated at all times. Help to give people support and warmth. Everyone stay together! Just because you can see the rest of the gym by the red light doesnt mean something isnt going on..." He let the rest hang there, then activated his Qi.

"Any questions?"

This wasn't going to be fun.

[Alexis Seran]

Gabriel agreed to what she asked. She smiled, feeling somewhat at peace. Though...He left. Alexis just watched as he approached the man in a mask and punch him for doing what Gabriel was not too long ago. Was it that hard for him to be in her presence long enough?

She wanted to be his friend... but if he kept ditching her like this, was it worth it?

Then the lights turned out.

And now she felt alone...and his voice rang in her head. Not leaving and only tormenting her.

"I will always want you..."

Yet again, he said that to her before Reira. He would always want her if she wasn't here. Obviously he didn't have a zombie girl in mind when he said that. Alexis was scared, though she was always bad at showing it. Her expression came calm and she just stared as everyone panicked and settled out plans. Her green eyes staring at Gabriel protection Reira.

I need a hug D=

[Kazuya Hikari]

Alex's eyes flashed in mild surprise as he heard Emily yelp the moment he had placed his hand on her shoulder, as he quickly pulled his mask off, to show her that it was only him, and not some mad axe-man attempting to hurt her. His eyes returned to calm as he heard her heave a sigh and look around, probably to see if anyone had heard her yelp a moment ago. He then asked her to dance, as he held his hand out to her, which she took, excusing herself from the guy she had been talking to moments ago. He then led the way through the crowd, making sure he didn't step on anyone's feet, which was rather challenging, considering how many students there were around. "Don't worry about it," He reassured her, as all around them, the students danced to the music playing, "It's hard enough seeing with this mask on." Reaching the middle of the ballroom, he began to dance, but just as he got into the music, the lights flickered, and before he knew it, the lights shut off.

He felt Emily pull away from him, as all around him, he heard shouts and a few screams too. "Emily!" He called back as he heard her call out his name, affirming that he was nearby. He clapped his hands together, and tried to make a flame appear on the tip of his finger. Unfortunately, it didn't work, which meant one of two things: His Qi was broken, or someone was nullifying his Qi, and he bet his money on the second option. The emergency lights then came on, red, why did it have to be red? Alex spotted Emily, and quickly moved over to her, taking her hand in his own. "It's me." He said quickly, as he heard David's voice ring out through the ballroom, attempting to keep order, calling out the names of a few people, including Emily, but Alex didn't let go of her hand just yet, his gaze shifted to look behind him, as he heard a scream issue from outside the ballroom. And then came a low, fiendish growl. "..." He gently squeezed Emily's hand, to let her know he was still with her. He then heard David call his name out too, as he made his way through the crowd, gently pulling Emily behind him, maintaining a firm grip on her hand. Just what the hell was going on here?

[Victor "Break" D'Armond]

(OOC: wow I suck at keeping up, sorry everyone)

Victor smiled as the girl blushed... she was so cute, and deep down inside that was a heartmelter, Victor so much prefered cute to hot girls... the way she fumbled her words in that drunken manner... Victor's mind got carried away with what he'd do to her in bed

He smiled and was about to continue when reira suddenly grabbed her, and they began grinding... damn cockblocked... come on reira share the wealth

Victor was about to jump on the table with them when he saw gabriel approaching, a certain look in his eye. dayum...

*PUNCHES SATAN IN THE FACE*

Victor: O.o

*whistles*

Victor couldn't help but smile as gabriel proved his youth by fighting over a women, the fellow player handled it like Victor would have... play the victim for a bit of sympathy, show you're the bigger man, and most importantly, never fight over a woman, there are much better things to fight about! !

then suddenly the power went down, Victor's earlier observance of the sky being blotted out came back to him as he realized there was no moon or stars or anything of the sort. just darkness. Victor had never felt fear before... this was no about to change. however it did peak his curiosity, he tensed, waiting to see what happened

he felt someone run into him, his fist raised but he could tell from the girl's voice, the cuteness of it, the simple lack of real force behnd th blow that it was just some panicking girl who ran into him.

Then the lights came on, red flooded over everything. Victor smiled, he loved horror movies. and seeing that the really cute girl was the one who bumped into him was also a plus.

Victor smiled at her and she wrapped herself around him. dayum... this was gonna get good fast.

"No worries, I got you" Victor said with a smile, he was incredibly curious what was going on now. David blaze was shouting orders for people...

oh come on, Victor was a strong fighter too! fine ignore Victor, see what he cares...

he's got the cute girl to protect anyway!

Gabriel however, he commanded the black knights into action, great idea.

"Stay close to me mischa, you just got the deluxe entertainment package" Victor would say with a laugh and a smile looking her dead in the eyes, the red light playing off of the light blue, almost white hue of his eyes, hopefully his confidence would help calm her down. he took her hand begining to help push tables against the doors as a barricade.

[Purr-Moi?!]

Eris was enjoying herself but while swaying her hips she noticed someone from the past. Among the almost naked girls she saw a white haired girl dressed up as something cute. Halloween was the perfect excuse to dress up slutty for a change but some choose to be cute instead..like Emily~chan.

"my my, this is a surprise "

The Harlequin moved toward her and didn't care that she was dancing with a guy, Being eris she'll just steal the cutie pie away <3 But as she moved through the crowd she noticed some were having problems with the door and when she was almost near the Shugo Chara the lights began to flicker and then ...darkness.

Eris immediately pulled down her mask and shot her almost glowing white and golden eye at the ceiling and doors.
Instead of panicking , she grinned and put her mask back on. She didn't worry about it since now it was easier to surprise the little cutie <3

"Ryuu?"
"... This is creepy."
"... Yeah, really creepy"

By listening to her voice she located the position of the girl and suddenly she hugged her from behind, wrapping her arms around her tiny waist, pressing her twins against her back. Eris traced her tongue across the young girls neck, all the way up to her earlobe while her hand slightly groped Emily's chest . With her sultry voice she whispered into her ear..

"Konbanwa, Emily-chan~"

She hoped Emily would still recognize her since she didn't change much, except for her hair and sultry voice but she still wore her peachy perfume with a faint ocean smell. Just when she wanted to let her go she heard a growl and other strange noises. Being overprotective of her in the past she tightened her grip.

"It seems this won't be such a dull party after all~"
