One of the great mysteries of life would be that Mengyao Miao would never quite fully understand what the purpose of the Haunted House was, other than to bring discord and a ruination of one's best robes.
Though, if he thought about it, it was probably not the most intelligent idea to wear such things into a place where he had only seen negativities, so perhaps the latter was more of his own fault. Still, he had dressed accordingly this time, a plain black tunic and a pair of black pants his only set of clothes (and, of course, a black coat thrown over so that his layers were still there), Mengyao wandering aimlessly along a dark corridor. There was no particular reason he had come here today, though perhaps because over the course of several weeks he had been rather idle with his time.
He heard a noise from somewhere behind him. Mengyao turned slowly and took a few steps in the opposite direction, turning around a corner to find someone there - a Halloween student, by the looks of it, one that was vaguely familiar.
"Are you lost?" he asked her, in a not entirely friendly sort of voice.

The air about her was confusing to him, because it was partially tense, partially familiar in a way that Mengyao did not understand. He smoothed a graying hand down the front of his robes and flicked his fingers; an almost idle gesture, but the ghostly shape of a long, elegant bow appeared from thin air, solidifying against his palm. He felt the familiar weight of it against his skin, Mengyao gently brushing a finger along the wood.
"Are you the gold king?"
He froze where he stood, shock reverberating throughout him. He had not heard that title for quite some time now, but here it was in front of him, as tangible as day. Mengyao turned slowly, the bow still clutched in his hand, though now that he thought of it, now that he remembered, he wondered whether the weight of a sword would be more familiar to him.
"...I once went by that title, yes," he said quietly. "Why do you ask?"

Being so close made it hard to dodge air born projectiles, so when another arrow was fired her way, Poke had no choice but to take it. Holding her arm up, she cursed as the shaft buried deep into her arm. She ignored the pain for now, using the same arm to swing wildly at the horsemen. Her attack then paused, the ghoul staring at him incredulously.
"I think you are mistaken, gold king. For my allegiance is to the white kingdom. No, I'm pissed off for other reasons." One hand clenched, the sign of the four clans hidden from view for the meantime as she considered her options. "The main one being that your kind are arrogant pricks. Especially Medea."
Probably not the best idea to make jab shots at a priestess with mysterious powers, but she wasn't thinking about that right now.

"I do not shove," said Mengyao, bristling a little as her foot connected with his ankle. He stumbled back several steps, flinching, and leveled a look towards her, the bow gripped tightly in his hands as he said, "That is both an unfair assumption and a rude one at that. I am confident and whether or not you are offended by that is on your shoulders."
He rolled his shoulders, scowling. "Offense is a choice that is taken, not given."
Taking several steps to the side, Mengyao lifted the bow once more, and a shiver of FEAR ran down the wire, glowing a faint golden color. Two more arrows appeared beside the first, slightly translucent. He pulled back, fingers tightening on the string, and there was a look of clear disgust on his face, the gray stretching half across the bridge of his nose now.
"I do not worship a woman who expects us to follow her like creatures to the slaughter," he said disdainfully. "Just as the humans do, they serve their own accord and provide no information, but there are those that follow blindly without care."
He clenched his teeth together but didn't shoot. "I am not blind."

The water had the effect that she wanted - Mengyao would find himself slammed to the ground, crushed into the floor, and for several seconds all he could do was give a little gasp of pain and hold onto his bow, willing it to not be washed away.
Afterwards he lay there, dragging in a hoarse breath. He turned his head to look at her, his dark hair damp across his forehead. "Everyone has a choice," Mengyao said quietly, chest rising and falling slowly. "Including yourself. You act as though you have the upper hand, as though you're the ones that have been wronged, and yet you speak to me of arrogance and offense?"
He gave a little shake of his head, turning away. "You should look in a mirror before you cast judgement upon the rest of us."
The bow was lifted, and this time not three, but four arrows were notched into the wire, Mengyao pushing himself up with his last bit of strength and pulling back, firing rapidly.
Then he promptly lay back down, exhausted.

"Since when did I act like that?!?!" Poke asked, irritated by the horsemen s tone. She was struggling to comprehend the full meaning behind his words, as well as keep her temper in check. "Do I look like I know everything? That I have all the answers?"
His next barb though cut deep, deeper then she wanted to admit to him or to herself. She stomped towards the horsemen as he turned away, ready to shout her mouth off, but was met with a volley full of arrows. Pushed back by the blow alone she struggled to stay on her feet. Arrows stuck out of her shoulders, lower stomach and legs, but she wasn't going to stop.
"The ******** are you talking about?!" She closed the distance, one hand slamming a punch in his face while the other grasped at his robes, pulling him to face her. "I can assure you I have no upper hand in anything. I'm struggling along trying to make sense of the chaos just like everything else. It's you guys who have all the jacking cards around here. You act all mysterious, showing up at the most opportune times knowing things that no one else does, then disappear with all your secrets."
Staggering as she tried to keep her grip on his clothing, she continued, wanting to find out all she could "What the hell is with the hunters. What have you done to them? Have you been the ones attacking them? They're so ramped up and ready to kill us, theres got to be a jacking reason for it!"
