[HH 4 vs. ??] Search Party (Danny, Rikki, Roch, Demi) [FIN]

[chiickadee]

Danny hadn't thought this through at all. Running after Yin with no provisions was feeling pretty stupid by now, but she was still doing it. Yin was her friend- one of her close friends. He couldn't be infected with insanity. He just ... he just couldn't.

"Yin???" Danny shouted, teeth chattering as she rubbed her arms vigorously to try and warm up. It was colder than usual even, and although Danny was a flame demon, she still felt freezing cold. Too cold. Was her heat aura not working or something?

She turned back to the people that had followed her in, feeling somewhat bad that she'd led them into this. "It's r-really cold in here. Are y-you guys o-okay?" she asked, exhaustion painting her tone. Maybe running had worn her out a bit? Yeah, that was probably it.

Roch wasn't there to find Yin. Roch didn't give a crap about Yin, and the colder it got the less he cared. In fact, he was walking behind Danny, holding his hands up to where the tail could possibly warm up his hands. The last thing he needed was frozen hands.

"Why am I here again?" he asked. Yes, he was being a jackass about this. He didn't do well with cold.  

[Bloodlust Dante]

Damien made a promise to himself, and to phos and Melas that he wasn't going to step foot in the foggy hallway of the monster dorms. Nope nope nope and nope, he was going to stick to it. Probably dig more tunnels and pop in to levi and see if she was staying out of trouble.

Probably read a book and play with his bone, the one with treats in it in the corner with Regal and Tsar.

Instead he spent his time, texting a storm to see who was still here and who went into the misty land of the cloned amity. Except that Tsar wanted to see the squeaky toy that he stole from Roch again and nipped at it from the table and sent the item bouncing out the door. "Aw no wait,come back!" He couldn't lose it now, not after defending it from the reapers request for so long.

Why he high tailed after the stray and the squeaky toy right he had no clue. Thrill of the chase he mused to himself absent mindedly as he made a sharp turn after them.

And tripped right over the mini that he loved and into the misty portal that lay before him. he couldn't evade the place in the end, as he picked himself up from the ground quickly and circled around to find the way back. Said entryway was lost in the drafty, creeping fog and curled around the hellhounds form. He was in here, alone. A shiver ran through his form as he stared up at the unmistakable familiar building and wandered around, the cold air seemed to cling inside him, enfeebling him as he ventured around, listening to the strange, ghostly whispers of home. the constant request for Home that he knew meant nothing good.

Especially for one that was currently by himself. The hound knew he had to find company and fast, before unwanted company found him first. "hello?" he called out carefully, tucking the tiny bouncy toy close to his chest as he wanted with scarling steps forward. "is anyone here?" he gathered his courage again, projecting his voice farther this time, green eyes darting to and fro for signs of a darkened shadow in the fog.

Until his ears perked at a sharp clang from the building, and the hound took off like a lighting bolt. careful steps tuned into a blinding stride as the pup took to the wind. His coat billowing with the air he left in his wake as Demi put all the skill that he had in running to the test.

And barreled into someone, right into their back with a solid "oof!" a certain Purple haired boil's back at the looks of it.  

[DarkHeartedSorrows]

Rikki didn't like the sudden frigid air all that much, though he was far less concerned for himself and tenfold concerned for his ghoulfriend. Such was the give and take of flame demon ghoulfriends, really. He didn't answer her question, just slipped out of his hoodie - why had he worn a sleeveless one today? - and draped it over her shoulders to offer whatever extra comfort he could. It was minimal at best, but he hoped the added friction as he ran his hands up and down her arms might help.

It was a bonus that focusing on her left him no room to dwell on the hollow ache in his chest.

He wrinkled his nose at Roch, a little disturbed that it was so cold that it took his skin a moment to remember how to undo the action, and shrugged. "You don't have to be here, we'll find Yin on our own. Speaking of, isn't Yin like, allergic to the cold or something? That should slow him down, right? We'll find him." He tacked on the last as a reassurance to Danny, because it was obvious that Roch gave zero ********.

He reached out a hand to steady Roch in the center of his chest automatically as the boil lurched forward with sudden impact. He gave a wide-eyed, bewildered stare to the newest addition to their group. Roch was like a neon sign with his hair, how do you just run into something like that?  

[chiickadee]

Danny's wings sputtered angrily at the cover of a jacket, but she slipped it in between the black expanses and tied it around her shoulders. It would have to do. She didn't want to rip holes in it after all- it wasn't her jacket to rip.

Rikki's logic made sense and she nodded. "You're here to look for our friends!" Danny said helpfully, too stupid to catch the venom in Roch's voice. "I hope Amrita's okay too ..." she mumbled, looking at the ground.

Then Demi bumped into Roch and made a great show of himself. "Demi!" Danny said, actually smiling. "Wanna help us look for Yin and Amrita?" She sagged against Rikki's arm, propping an elbow onto his shoulder for support. She wanted to curl up and go bed, but ... but they had to find Yin!

Suddenly the mist lurched forward, forming a figure. One she knew, but didn't. It looked like Mei. Was the insanity messing with her head? Oh no. No Mei had to be fine. She ... She had to right?

"Mei?" she said, voice cracking a little. "Is that you?" It came forward and scratched her arm, leaving the flame demon to recoil.

She didn't know what to do. It had clearly hurt her, but that ... it looked like Mei. How could she hit her friend? When had Mei even been attacked by insanity? She'd looked fine in the parking lot ...

For the moment, Danny just sort of stood there stunned.

Roch had been ran into, shoved slightly, and was wondering what in the hell was going on when something he COULD understand happened. They were attacked. Okay, he was cool with that! He summoned his guitar, slamming it into the creature decently hard--

"Wait, what about Amrita?" he asked, turning to the fire demon.

All the time damien spent playing bruteball, it left its mark as he shoved against the lanky boil that was Roch and quickly found his own footing away from the boil, after recoiling and shoving him away, for half a moment there, he could have sworn the boil was gray just like the others. But after blinking and rugging at his smoky green eyes and the puffs of wispy green began to flow again, Roch still looked like Roch. Thank jack for that.

The hound visibly loosened up as he slumped his shoulders and took a more relaxed pose when Danny bounded up to him, chattering about the search they were on. "Amrita and the Jimminy Cricket were out here?" he asked stunned. of all the people he expected to run into here, the two of them didn't seem right, whether they did it for their own reasoning... or..... no, he wouldn't think of that as he shook his head furiously at the mere idea that they were one of them. "Ill help sure" he hound said as he stared as his feet.

Help? how? the pup began to ask himself. Was there really a way to save the others? how would he of all creatures be able to figure it out.
-Ther's always a way alpha, you could get a hint about it- Phos chided in quickly, optimistic about the chances. He could pratically feel the mental hug from the other personality as Melas began to ruffle from all the sappy feelings.
the drawling hound ushered out, crass but direct.

He didn't know how long he was stuck in the mental debate when the pup founds his senses rushing back to him, after a cry the had his ears perked up in alarm. he snapped his head up in time to see the figure approach.

Far to close for him to be comfortable as he instinctively recoiled back. the chipped face of the assailant, slashing at his face. The haunting blue eye that held nothing in its depths as the other half of the attackers face fell into view, a face he knew far too well. "Mei?!" he cried, startled by the ghoul and her sudden lunge. What was she doing, why wasn't she with Bul. A hundred question buzzed in his head as the voices began to symphony of confusion that began to grow.

Until his ears pricked up at the lone word she said, everything fell into a lull after that.

"Home." and the bottom of his stomach fell through at what it meant. "No, no, you can't be-." the hound began but chocked on his words, the answer was clear, clear enough that he wished it would part this horrid sea of white around them all. His friend had lost his ghoulfriend to the madness, and now she was going to defend her newfound home from them.

And the grim realization that he didn't know how to save her sank in. Cold, bitter and Unsatisfying. it was a hard pill to swallow, but the pup wasn't going to take it lying down as he clenched his jaw and tried to stand in front of the stunned fire demon. "I'm going to do something foolish." he whispered to the demoness. "But I have to try." and took off like the regal Canine he was, hand outstretched and foot rising to the full extension above him.

And brought it crashing down at the ghouls shoulder blade.

He learned a long time ago that there was a time for shock, but also a time for action.

Haha nope.

Nope you do not touch Rikki's ghoulfriend when she's cold and miserable.

You do not hurt Rikki's ghoulfriend (or friends, thinking of Demi belatedly) while he is already aching and frozen.

He summoned his chains with a scowl and snapped the blades towards the ghoul without compassion. Perhaps he'd regret it later, in fact he'd definitely regret it later, but he couldn't be forced to care right now.

"No!" Danny shouted as she watched Demi and Roch both pound on Mei. She even reached up and pulled on Rikki's arm to prevent the chains from hitting her, but it was too late, the blades were already rushing in Mei's direction. "Guys, no, it's-"

Bits of the insanity's struck out to attack Rikki and Roch, and Danny flinched as it hit her two most important people. She pursed her lips, worry stricken across her face. She couldn't hurt Mei, but ... but these were important people.

She looked down some what shamefully and shot a series of fireballs at Mei, hoping at the least it wouldn't do too much damage. She felt horrible, so horrible. "I'm really sorry!" she shouted, as though Mei could actually hear it.

No, Mei probably could. The broken doll had to be in there somewhere. Danny convinced herself they were just knocking her out.

Roch jerked as he was hit--but more from surprise that it was so light. He was about to do something in return when another showed up--and this one didn't hit light at all.

His mind was starting to feel heavy... foggy. Like it wasn't quite clicking. He cursed, shaking his head to try and clear it, then brought his guitar strap over his shoulder, aiming at what he assumed was a male. The one that was hitting harder.

He summoned his FEAR, bringing his fingertips to the strings--thank Jack he knew how to play even in his sleep, he thought as the chord ripped through the air, slamming into the insane horseman.

The sickening thud of boot to living doll parts was hollow, and did nothing to make Damien feel better about the attack. he was not sure how he was going to explain it to the half beast, who was sure to say something about the distinctive boot mark left on Mei's visage.

He was pretty sure that "hey Bul, I hit your ghoulfriend because she came at me." wasn't going to fly well, no matter how close they were.

But thoughts of that flew far, far away when another figure decided to make itself known with a strike that wrenched all thought away from him and left a hollow pain along his shoulder. a deep emptiness began to grow as another ally turned for came up to stare with his mismatched eyes, deal and lifeless where the pup was sure the emotions once thrived.

With a grunt of pain, the hound struggled for good footing, clutching at his pained arm and winded at the pain that blossomed from the tender area. It did nothing to stop the flurry of kicks that followed after Roch wailed on it. each strike left the hellhound gasping for air. the act of moving was so tiresome.

"Guys, what are we going to do?" he called out breathlessly, unsure of what plan to take, was there even a plan to begin with?

he didn't want to disappear here, not like this. Not to become one of them. He knew where his home was deep down in his heart.

Rikki did manage to wince a bit as he realized just how difficult battling this thing was going to be for Danny. That through him off enough that combined with the sudden appearance of yet another thing, Rikki's next his landed a bit weaker than his first.

And would it kill someone to turn up the heat? Jackdammit.
