"CANDY" It's Close to Midnight!!!

[Draven]

As he followed Harue, Godric could hear the creek of the floor boards underneath him. Sure there were some shamblers slowly chasing them down the stairs, but his floating sword kept them at bay. The trick was, not letting them fall down upon them as the decended. So the floating sword simply cut them at the knees then sliced and diced so they simply were a puddle of mush. The slapping of flesh falling to some sort of floor, then the sound of dripping as the blood falling through the cracks. As indicated Godric was none to happy about the smell either. Foul blood for sure.

As Godric was making his way down he made a scan with his telescopic vision and he noticed something. "In the far back corner there is a well. It seems a catacombs is underneath this wretched place..." it seemed the caretaker was busy indeed, robbing graves from underneath. Such a wicked man doing wicked things. But no matter, this was a play land, and nothing to fear....he told himself...

As soon as Godric names what lies beneath, Harue understands that very distinct smell. "Ew!" she exclaims, devastated by the fact they'd be trudging through that kind of setting. She looks back towards where they came from, hoping that Yuri and Tomomi would join them soon. Who knew where Ōmo was, but surely he was entirely red now.

"Alright," Harue says as she moves through the sea of bodies to the ghoul, who seems to be stuck under a horde of dead bodies. Seems he was trying to get them all out of here so that he could free himself from under the weight of a mountain of dead. Alas, he was incapable without his head, which Harue took with a sloppy chop of the side of her sword. This one was fairly easy.

She turns to Godric and rests on the hilt of her katana, the blade wedged between the the ribs of a zombie that sits on top of a pile at her feet. "Should we head in then?" She nods to the far corner he speaks of.

Godric had to grin a little. The blood bath was euphoric to a certain extent. It was not fresh but he couldn't complain too much this all hallow's eve. He was almost exctatic as he roared out "IT HAS BEGON" to any whom may be listening. But then he looked Harue right in the face with a toothy grin and poked her in the forehead. "Tag!" and he paused for just a momment waiting for the right time where the idea sunk in. Once he seen it he was gone as he shunshined away.

Down the well one could hear Godric echoing "You're it!!!!" and then a cackle as he went all the way down. Indeed it was a catacombs. The Kage tower wanted them to investigate the source. And what better to find the source then underneath the graves. Yes that's why he was down here. Not some silly tage game. As he ran through the halls, slicing up any mundane moving zombie he could find trying to lash out at him he took a series of turns. Up,up,down,down,left,lef,right,right.... Then he turned incorporeal and went into the walls. Perhaps the undead could smell him yet, perhaps not. But he still used his Byakugan to track the leader of this undead group down here. He still needed to complete his mission. But by damn he was going to have fun at it.

Yuri finally caught up with the two of them, she had caught herself day dreaming therre for a bit, about what was completely irrelevant. She gladed towards the two of then with as smile on her face, "Nice to see you 2 have been taken care of business. I guess there really is no need for me to have come along at all then." Yuri shrugged her shoulders, and she wondered if she should just head back to her office, away from all this gross stuff? It would do wonders for her sanity, not having to worry about undead pieces of crap failing into he hair or anywhere around or on her person.

She looked over at Harue, and forgot the idea of leaving, she knew it would make her rather sad if she left her here with Godric and Tomo. Yuri folded her arms and then looked at the two of them, "So which way?" She head scratching the back of her head. She'd help them look if she had any idea, what exactly she was looking for.

[neko bo beko]

Harue couldn't help but continue to grin at Godric's exuberant ways - she'd have to get to know him better. He was a delight, but Harue didn't know if she could handle that handful too much at once. Despite being "it," Harue didn't follow Godric down into the catacombs because she saw Yuri approaching. She smiles and crosses the body-riddled basement to take Yuri's hand in her own. "It's better with you here," she tells her, implying that her unspoken conclusion was right. If Yuri left, Harue inevitably would too.

"This way," Harue says, leading Yuri down into the tombs by the hand still, her Tasukeru activated. She tracks Godric's movements and follows him distantly, but not specifically. She could see that there was something in that direction, and they were of course both headed for it. They had to be careful. Who knows - maybe there was more down here than just ghouls.

Godric waited. He waited some more. He wondered what mite become of him if he waited to long. Though he did notice Yuri coming along. Ya know Byakugan and stuff. But besides the point of waiting he stuck his head out of the wall. A few undead were there staring him in the face. A few Headbutts later and they would stop their staring. Aside from that he started to whistle. It was an odd tune, old tune. Kind of creepy as if someone from a hospital would whistle it.

He was waiting for the two to come find him. Along the way of course dispatching the undead. They prove nothing this night, though their numbers have become a bit annoying. Speaking off he could already see a horde coming toward him. He was a bit disheartened as he waited. The horde coming closer. Looking from left to right. He let his floating katana twitch a bit before blasting each side with a mix of fire and acid. They called it the Hades breath. In this moment he thought it apply named.

[DJ Loki]

Yuri rised an eyebrow as she looked over at Godric and his happy mood. "Godric seems to be in fine spirits today... it's rather creepy." Yuri said out loud as Harue seemed intent on holding onto her hand. Yuri looked a head a the undead stood before them, and she began to wonder, "Godric... you're super old. How often those stuff like this happen? Is it every few years around the same time? Or is this sort of a... weird occurrence?" If it happened often than Yuri would worry to much about it. It would just be something else for her to add to the list of the world is crazy and weird.

If this was something out of the ordinary, then that meant that they would need to look into this a little more carefully than she had intended to before. Sometime it sucked being the Kage, everything had to be thought out before even one thing, got done.

[Draven]

Godric was found his game ended. coming out of the wall he grinned. "Perhaps it's a full moon or time of year. Or perhaps Something had happened in my life to show me a path. But I feel elated." he said as he took a deep breath of the old air. He actually coughed because who would love this environment. Shaking his head and becoming solid again he looked around. "I have no doubt I am older than these fools around use, yet look at them and look at me. I am drunk with superiority. THAT'S IT!!!" as if Godric figured it out himself.

Yes indeed, the dead somehow kin, but these were...Well there were kinda of close to what he was. Yet they were far, far less than what he was. He looked at the two and could not give a good explanation because the simply could not understand. "Ah but isn't there the leader of this crypt somewhere. I wonder who took care of the graves hmmm?" he took a passing probe of information. Perhaps more answers than just nonesensical slaughter could be had tonight. A mystery was afoot!

[neko bo beko]

All Harue could hear down here was Godric whistling, and then his head popped out of a wall as they came down an adjacent hallway. They stroll to a stop outside of his wall, watching as he comes out. Harue snickers a little when Yuri comments on his weird mood, one side of her mouth turned up over her teeth. But when Yuri brings up the oddity of the occurrence, Harue's expression flattens and she looks over to her, then back to where Godric was. It was odd that this kind of stuff happened like clockwork, but erratically. But then Godric assumes she's referring to his mood, and gets awful defensive. Harue snorts.

Harue's hand is still laced with Yuri's and she refuses to admit it's because she simply likes holding her hand. She perks up a little though, something in the peripheral of her doujutsu alerting her to a possible ghoul. Instead of talking about the avoided topic, Harue changes it. "We should keep going this way," she says.

Yuri stared at Godric blankly as nothing he said really gave her an answer, "A I don't know would have been plenty." She said as she shook her head, what an odd ball family indeed. Yuri felt a tug of her hand as Harue seemed to pick up the scent of something moving out of the corner of her eye. Yuri did not have her Byakugan active, because why would she? She had two perfectly capable people around her who could do all the looking for her. All she needed to do was follow their lead in this instance. She tilted her head to the side, and then used her thumb to tickle the inside of Harue's palm. There was no reason behind it. Was just something to do, beside Harue's reactions were always so adorable.

[neko bo beko]

Harue makes a noise half way between a laugh and a choke, becoming actively conscious again of their hand holding. Yuri's hands were so soft, and her fingers... so slender! Harue returns the small gesture with her own thumb then closes her hand tighter over Yuri's, leading them down the hall now. If not only to avoid addressing the hand holding. If there was a faint red tint to Harue's cheeks, she ignored it.

"This way!" She says in a forced singsong voice, trudging forwards toward the ghoul. They were definitely getting close. Ish. She was.. slightly concerned by the distinct lack in zombies though, and feared that whenever they did start swarming again, she'd have to let go of Yuri's hand.

Godric produced a Bunshin clone. The clone went incorporeal and soaked into the wall. Godric himself started to walk backwards in front of them as he started to sing, "I can slaughter this world!!!" he started off, while facing them, as his Bunshin clone threw a zombie body into their hallway. There may be lack of them but a Hyuuga like him could easily snuff out the hiding ones... And indeed with his augmented singsongy soothing voice, "Down here in a crypt 'of deeeeaaaath..." yet more moans can be heard with splatters as he serenades the two while they walk down this path.

"Tell me princess, your heart's Eneemiees, and I'll en'sure that they DIIEEEEEE with peaceee...!!!!" he continued to walk backwards, the catacombs ring with his voice. The Kage bunshin clone producing more splat sounds from hiding zombies. More path clearing as pools of blood start running underneath their feet."To slaughter this woOOORRRLD!!!" he continued as he could feel the thudding of the walls behind him. More mayhem and blood shed, from unknown parts, not knowing what the scene may look like now. "Down inside.... a dirty crypt, where peace should reign a supreeeeeeme.." his babbling, if not hearing the context, actually quite melodic as he continued to keep pace in front of the two...

Of course one could only imagine the context of the rest of his song at this point. To be able to unleash his talents on beings that actually deserved it. It was uplifting and perhaps that was why he loved this night. All Hollow's Eve, where he was the thing that goes bumb in the night. The ones close to him, a passage through this mystical world of wonder...should one have the right perception of it... "A thrilling place! That they give me chase! A world where we three can slowly....paaacee..." thus his song ends as perhaps they were nearing their destination.

[DJ Loki]

Yuri looked over at Godric as he continued to sing like a mad man. Yuri shook her head, "Wow... what a lovely song." Yuri said with a sarcastic tone. She looked ahead, as she tried to ignore Godric, singing about death and destruction,, even though it was about killing her enemies, she'd be lying if she said it still wasn't a bit off putting. She shrugged her shoulders and just continued to move forward. She might as well roll with it. Her beautiful song would pick up, singing in the cord identical to Aladdin's "Show you the World".

"I can slaughter this woooooooorld!!! Shining shimmering blooody. Paint the paths red with bleeeeeeding! Make my enemies squirm toniiiiiight! Slaughter this wooorld. Watch them shiver in feeeaar. Show them the fragility of their mortal coils! Hear them beg for death, curse their god, and have it fall on deaf eaaaaaars tooooniight... "

Yuri raised her hands into the air while still holding onto Harue, and then pulled herr in to sing to her face, a while hold her free hand on the small on her back " A world of fire!!!!!! Don't to dare look away. Watch all the death and Mayhem!! Doesn't matter where you go, the blood will flow, and you will meet your end, tonight. Slaughter this woooorld!!!" Yuri continued to sing, and admittedly, it was rather fun, if not a bit insane, though it did help a leave the drabness of all of this.

-nyoooOOOOOOOOMMMM CRAAASSHHH-

A flying object made its way across the air above the graveyard at frightening speed before colliding with the entrance of the house. The ground shook, and the rumble could be heard from several meters away. The steps leading up to the porch of the building were... no longer standing. What remained of the porch was a small crater. Dust cleared while small pieces of wood rained down upon the destination of what had revealed itself as... a person.

-COUGH COUGH WEEZE- "I TOLD YOU I CAN WALK, FUCKERS."

Tomo yelled to nobody in particular, brushing dirt and debris off of his formerly immaculate clothing. He'd returned for more zombie killing. The construction Tomo had commissioned wasn't going especially well, what with lacking permits and whatnot, but he'd cleared the matter up at least temporarily. As he looked around, he noticed that he was at some kind of house in the graveyard, and... didn't know where to go. Hopefully one of his teammates would show up to help guide him.

Godric's Kage Bunshin noticed something quite easily. Ya know Byakugan hack and all. The Kage Bunshin was incorporeal so it simply floated up toward the commotion. Of course it already knew what it would find. As it seemed to rise up out of the ground in front of Tomomi, it had a rather large grin on it's face. "Oh! Come to join the fun!" it asked enthusiastically.

The door of the house was still kind of on it's last hinge, but this did not stop the incorporeal kage bunshin Godric from holding it open. The irony of him not actually holding it, or the fact that it really didn't need to be held was not lost on it, but it was still very polite, "After you Sir Tomomi..."

[neko bo beko]

At first, Harue blubbers when Godric begins singing. There's just something about this kind of showmanship that was so... embarrassing, to Harue. It's not shameful at all, but it does create a hollow feeling in Harue's chest, a nervous laugh and smile painted on her forcefully. She would brush off Godric, turning to laugh softly at Yuri as she begins, but her face falls as soon as she realizes she's serious. Harue's lips tremble, threatening to break into a smile.

The smile finally does break when Yuri starts dancing around with Harue in tow, first with hands connected and ablaze, and then a very intimately close dance. She wanted to keep steering them back to the ghoul, but now she's sort of lost herself in Yuri's serenade and the carefree atmosphere, despite the zombies out of sight being pummeled. She lets Yuri move them around freely, her eyes hooded and her expression a little dumb, watching Yuri constantly. For a moment, she forgets about everything else.

-COUGH COUGH- "Oh, hello again Godric."

Tomo responded, still brushing dirt off of his red kimono. He looked up to see the man holding the.. broken door open for him. Gee, thanks... he thought to himself. It was a funny joke, but Tomo wasn't quite in the mood yet. Instead, he inclined his head slightly, acknowledging the ironic gesture. His ears were still ringing from the explosion as he went through the door and quickly made his way downstairs. It seems he has some shit to catch up on.

The Kage Bunshin Godric ghosted through the walls and followed in tandum with Tomomi's movements. There was still some lingering zombies, but as Tomomi made his way, the kage bunshin simply reached out with chakra needle, claws and a wrestling move called claw hold. Popping the heads of zombies as they went. Tomomi's path would be clear but the Godric Clone noted as the basement stairs came close. "Be careful, that first step is a doozy!" And indeed a pile of zombie...parts and blood all heaped up at the entrance to the basement. Climbing over them could be very slippery with all the guts and zombie fluid.

[DJ Loki]

Yuri stopped singing as Tomo entered in rather loudly. She glared over at him, as she had Harue in a very deep dip at the moment. She then quickly pulled her up out of the dip with an annoyed expression on her face. "It was just getting good." Yuri said with a smile as she continued to hum the nonsense song that she had been making up with Godric up to this point. She used her free hand to at as a conductor of sorts to no one in particular as she continued to hum the song to herself. It was time to get rid of this Ghoul so they could move on to their next target.
