Rep took whatever chances there were to get out of the bunker lately. It was still cramped and horrible, it was still devoid of privacy, and the golem excursions only did so much. The fog wasn't much better either, it got into the senses, permeated the thoughts. It was like ******** Silent Hill up there, and he really didn't like going up alone. It was dangerous, way too ******** dangerous.
So when the chance popped up for some haunted house duty, he took it. The haunted house was a lot safer, pendants were to hand, an escape, a way to get the ******** out of there. And the only threat was students, students could possibly be reasoned with, students weren't even a guaranteed thing.
He was expecting a quiet patrol for a change, just a chance to unwind and breathe some clear air that hadn't already been breathed by half the population of Deus or that was filled with some ******** monster.
He knew that all too ******** well, he grouched a the fallen angel.
Even as he spoke, movement further along the corridor made him freeze dead in his tracks. Just his ******** luck, they didn't have a jacket so he immediately assumed trouble.

Her FEAR still didn't manifest, her hands remained tucked in her jackets pockets as she slowly cocked her head to the side. Empty sockets full of purple burning FEAR staring at him as if trying to decide what to do.
"First off, you can call me an Undead, or by my name. Usually I break the jaws of people who call me a corpse." She eyed the weapon in his hand with casual interest before looking back at him.
"In my defense your friend with the glasses insisted on continuing to try and attack me. He asked for it. You, where laughing at the genocide of a race just after I had to drag the frozen remains of my now dead friend. So please, forgive me, I was just a bit pissed the ******** off."
"Besides, cheap shots? This coming from one of those little hunters who won't dare fight unless they have a net gun and their precious little master Caelius around to save them? No, I think I'll take every shot I have when I damn well please."
Perhaps just to piss him off more, she turned to pluck a book from a near by shelf flipping it back and forth a few times, a book about mating rituals. The same one from the library room she had first been trapped in. "As for why I'm here... I'm looking to pay respects to an old friend." Her eyes shot up, the FEAR clearly focused on him in a strange way. "Tell me; where you here when the dragon attacked? Or where you off somewhere else?"

He was surprised she didn't attack him outright, surprised and somewhat curious. Though he didn't dismiss Tracey for an instant, poised to defend himself, even as she seemed distracted by the book.
"Where I come from, you are dead, you are a corpse, and you definitely don't look ******** alive. So." He wasn't about to give even an inch to one of the monsters. Granted, thusfar, Amity fell much lower on his scale of hatred. It was horsemen who'd maimed him. The students bordered on more of a curiosity than anything else.
"I was laughing because it was ******** hilarious. They almost killed me twice, and my entire species ******** knows how many times. They had it coming." he waved the hand not holding Tracey's handle vaguely. "That s**t's irrelevant though. Its over." He did laugh however at the mention of Caelius. "Cael? Cael's a p***k, he's as dangerous to us as he is to everyone else. He's no master."
Rep hadn't really heard of tactical keeping his mouth shut, he never held his cards close to his chest. "I've never seen a dragon in my ******** life so I'd say no. Why? A friend of yours?" he smirked smugly. Dragons lived here right?

"And where I come from you technically count as a glorified food and energy source now would you like me to start calling you cattle Flower Boy, or would you like me to at least acknowledge you're something more then a stepping stone on the food chain?" She noted his weapon was still summoned and made no move to get closer other then sticking the book back into the shelf.
"While I would hate to see humanity completely dead leaving us without a source of FEAR, I despise both sides for thinking genocide is the solution. Frankly, the only people who should be dead, are Hunters. Nothing personal, but Human's FEAR created us, and it's what we feed on. You wouldn't be so happy if your food and life source suddenly decided to try and kill you now would you?" Of course she didn't know a lot about humans and how absolutely stupid a series of walking cows with weapons would look, but the point was still made.
The topic of Caelius however caught her attention, she actually paused mid way through plucking another book from the shelf. "Oh well if you feel that way do me a favor and stick that axe of yours through his back for my friend Riley and just about everyone else who wants to see him dead." She finally moved to finish plucking a book from the shelf, it was blank inside, void of a story or knowledge.
"... A mentor actually, and someone who damn near killed Caelius and the whole lot of you and us as well." She pointed towards Rep, though not at him directly, instead it seemed she was pointing just off towards Tracey, "One of those killed her. Or she killed it, the details aren't clear but she fussed with a weapon and nearly destroyed everything dying in the process." She held up the empty book tossing it at the hunters feet, "Take notes Hunter, you might actually learn a bit of history today if I don't get the urge you break your hands."

It wasn't that she tolerated or hated humans, it was more she acknowledged the need for their survival and growth in order to sustain her own unlife. The problem to her was how hunters acted like they all had to die for the crimes of a few, that the whole system was slanted to destroy them all. Still, this didn't make her words any less rude or dismissive.
Humans where, after all, very fragile it seemed, and thus far below even the basic Halloween citizen in regards to power chain.
"But did I kill anyone? I've come close, but Hunters don't exactly count. Murder, kidnapping, turning us into weapons and your latest trick genocide make you pretty easy to justify the death of."
"Oh people go crazy, the question is why. To be honest I think you're the ones at fault for it with your weapons. They aren't natural, what you do disrupts what in theory is a normal system."
What happened next might have taken him for a spin as she openly turned her back and started to walk down the rows of books clicking open doors to side hallways before shutting them again to continue moving. "Your 'Master' is less stable then most of the people you want dead on our side. I've seen him lose it, I've seen him angry, I've seen him scared. He's dangerous and you agree, so kill him and give us all some peace of mind. Or let us do it if it doesn't settle well with you."
She nodded at his statement on weapons, "They eat FEAR, maybe that's why you don't generate any. What ever you fear about us, those toys of yours just eat it up before we even notice it." The theory made sense, if they drank pure FEAR from a creature made of it, why wouldn't they drink on the natural FEAR of a human counterpart?
"Not advisable at all, no, but have you seen what happens when Halloween and a weapon work together? When they have what ever 'bond' it is you have?" She turned around eyes burning with a bitter look on her face. "That power... that power could destroy all of you in a blink, but the cost is great."

"I'm not sure I can accept you as innocent, hunters arrive on the Islands, islands explode horribly. It seems like you all where involved so I would think you are partially to blame."
"I would hardly call you're ilk natural." Her eyes narrowed, eying the weapon in his hands, "Especially when you have the warped idea that doing that to one of us is normal or an improvement."
She stopped her search of the doors crossing her arms giving him the most skeptical of looks, "Really? Being an ever hungering tool for someone elses use is an improvement?" Her head shook slowly side to side, "No, when I was shown, when I felt what it was like to be turned into that during a trance. No I could not want that. I wouldn't wish it on the most arrogant scumbag of demons I've ever met. That isn't improvement, it's enslavement to a series of delusional short lived humans."
Cutting off the excess though? That caused her to laugh, "Cutting off our excess?" She spread her arms out wide, "This house grows and shifts holding whole other dimensions in it, our world grows to give us room to thrive. You live on a rock! A big round rock, humans fight each other, kill each other, and fill up your big round rock more and more, and then say WE need to be culled? How stupid are you?"
