Tomoko had never actually gone to the Haunted House. It was one of those things that crossed the peripherals at the edges of her mind, but overall didn't seem to cement all that much. In fact, she hardly thought about the place at all. All she knew was that bad things happened in it and well...she didn't really like bad things all that much. In fact, even slightly stressful things could have been considered too much for Tomoko to handle sometimes.
So she was the last kitsune in the world she ever expected would walk down that hallway. The hallway that at first she hadn't realized was unfamiliar. Then she'd taken a moment to press her fingers to the walls, her other hand cradling her ball of stars to her chest with a small frown - it wasn't an illusion either. She was going down a hallway she'd never seen before.
As a timid creature, Tomoko didn't possess the type of curiosity that was required to keep going down the hallway. Instead, she whimpered and made a small terrified noise as she tried to navigate her way back down the way she'd come from, just to become hopelessly lost. All it had taken was one incorrect door and she'd become a victim of mostly aimless wandering.
----
Unlike Cassandra Norris who was a hardy and always battle-ready type of creature. A walk through the haunted house was just a piece of normality, after all, in her strange and warped life (she could have written a book on a life that was never normal, yet also was). A little blip on the radar and, as Cass hadn't done a Haunted House Round in a while, she was more than content to make her way into the building that had proven to be the start of a rather interesting adventure.
But she knew to keep Nicodemus summoned at all times, keeping the gunblade close to her body. She'd use it as defense first if it came to that. It wasn't the 'fun' route, but it was the route that kept her alive. The route of 'attack first, ask questions later' had also been one that had kept her rather living as well.
Which was why when she stepped through the door into a room with a rather golden individual in it, she hadn't even thought about it when she'd lashed out.
---
Tomoko had just been trying to find the exit to this strange twisted wonderland of a room, where it seemed like each door was a bookcase (so was every bookcase a door? That didn't but also did make sense!) and up was down and just....
the entire house...
it baffled her. Baffled her, and the hunter had been able to take clear advantage of that with a slice across her shoulders, causing the kitsune to whimper in pain and immediately retreat into a corner, cradling her ball of stars in her arms. This was just bad.
Just bad.
They needed to go home. She needed to go home. She didn't like this place already!
---
And despite the pathetic noise, Cass wasn't about to let up. In fact, she took that ball of stars right out of the little kitsune's hands.
"What's this? Something that shouldn't be in your hands?" Cass inquired. Perhaps it was another strange artifact that the hunters could have used in their labs. Maybe H would know what it was. She wasn't sure.
"Maybe I should hold onto it."
---
And for it, Tomoko made the most high pitched and frantic noise to ever cross her lips. No no no nono!
No!
That was hers! She needed that! The human couldn't have that! Give it back! Ofasj;ldfkdhsf dflksafh;askdfj;lk!K She wrung her hair anxiously, but every time she moved to grab at her ball of stars, the hunter pointed that blade back at her.
And if she dissipated, she wouldn't get her ball of stars back!

It might have been a good thing then that Shun was out wandering about with the intent of training. He was going to work with the dummies in the gym, but actual combat was always something more preferred. And before he knew it, he found himself in a place that certainly wasn't the gym.
But it was somewhere he was still rather familiar with.
Narrowing his eye, he paused to listen for signs of life. This time around, he hadn't been trying to get to the haunted house, so he wasn't sure what it was going to throw at him.
Sure enough, he soon heard a rather high pitched set of noises, along with another voice. There were two people here.
"..."
The last time the house sent him to a room with two others, he ended up taking a fireball to the chest almost immediately. Needless to say, he quickly summoned his daggers and went on his guard, slowly and quietly making his way around to see what was going on first and foremost. It didn't take him long before he spotted a vaguely familiar kitsune along with who could no doubt be a hunter. It didn't surprise him to see that she was tormenting the poor girl too.
Though he intended to remain stealthy, his increased blind spot had him miss something to his left, causing him to bump into a small end table that had been sitting ********.

Bump went that end table, and... well, Cass actually had to shove the Ball of stars into her handy side-bag before she had her blade pointed at the kitsune, and the gun aimed at the reaper. Oh cute, he only had one eye. Okay, that actually wasn't cute at all. It just reminded her of when Marcus had to wear an eyepatch because of that stupid Horseman.
Peh, he was dead now, it didn't matter.
"Oh, so now you two are going to gang up on me? How pleasant." she half smirked, looking to Shun..then to Tomoko, then to Shun again. It only took her half a moment to slice through the little Kitsune's skin again, causing another pained noise and for Tomoko to retract into the corner further. Full panic had set on her face right then. Total and utter panic.
Cass, on the other hand, seemed perfectly calm about the situation.
"Well, it looks like she won't be fighting back for a few minutes. So I might as well focus on you."

"Che," Shun hissed as he saw her suddenly strike down Tomoko like that. The girl wasn't even putting up a fight and yet she had been struck. Hunters. He didn't expect any better of them really. Narrowing his eye at her, he just held up his daggers and crouched down to get ready to attack.
He lost his element of surprise, but he wasn't out of the running because of that.
Looking over the hunter, he took note that she had both a blade and a gun. Interesting. Hm. She had a fuzzy hood too, and was definitely aggressive. As it stood, she sort of fell under one of the entries in the hunter compendium. Minus the fact that she didn't have a male counterpart. But it was possible this was 'Cass'. Or someone else that happened to fit that. It wasn't like him to taunt in battle unless the other spoke first, but this was one easy way to figure out if this was her. Not to mention, it may give him a quick idea to her style to start with.
"Do your worst, Cass," he hissed lowly.

As it was, Cass had noticed the sparkling in her ball, and while she wasn't able to attribute it to the kitsune using a natural ability, Cass was able to quick ascertain that it glowing was part of why the reaper was going to want it back. After all, he had just targeted her bag.
The bag's strap relented, dropping to the floor with a thud that caused Tomoko to wince and make a rather pained noise, dropping to her knees and wrapping her arms around herself.
Well, that was curious, now wasn't it? Cass didn't linger on it for long, however, just stepping back to scoop the back back up, tying the strap back together with one hand while firing with the handgun again.
Damn! She'd liked this bag too!
