[ THE CO-ED WASHROOM ] HERE BE HORSEMEN TERRITORY pg 10!

[demon_pachabel]

Like Aisa, Invictus was not one for technology. It was more trouble than it was worth to fiddle with buttons and 4G connections and fiddly pictures of the inside of your pockets. Pointless. Word of mouth was simply more effective and had less of a trace that could come with it. He'd had some hang ups about the use of texting in that sense, but there was nothing he could do to prevent it from passing by that way.

Still, Invictus had a sense of irritation to him. Not..irritated visibly, yet not seeming to be entirely calm for their little..gathering, as it was. Perhaps he was hiding a tantrum about Eris having the throne. Yes, he'd had it last, but it was somewhat natural for him to take a shining to such a position. He'd only reneged after fire and gravity and some fussing. There was possibly char somewhere on him, but not enough for him to have been set fully on fire.

And yet, he couldn't help but be playing the entire scenario that was going down at that moment through his head. He knew things wouldn't go as smoothly as he would have liked. There was a mixed variety of students. Methods would be different for each, and some would require baby words.

The reward would be nice, but the process was not as exciting to the only 'man' of the Horsemen there as he waited for the assembly.

Unlike the other three, Cymbeline wouldn't have stayed in that thrown even if she had won it that day. She paced with an almost frantic eagerness near the door, hovering around as she waited for the first students to arrive. Those little morsels of the school's ever buzzing food-telephone chain, so soon they were to arrive like a swarm of bite-sized crustaceans...

They had so eagerly gobbled up the tidbits of information spread by herself and her siblings, and soon they would appear. Swimming straight into the angler's mouth, even! Her chuckle held a mildly disturbed tone, as though she simply couldn't wait patiently like the others, and each minute stretched her towards her breaking point.

The students had better arrive soon, who knew what she would do if that door took too long to open!  

[Blade Kuroda]

After receiving the rumor, Jericho just couldn't ignore it. When it was time, he made his way over towards the co-ed bathroom, a place he had ventured to once before. Granted, now his reason for going was slightly different. He had suspicions on what this was all about, but there wasn't really anything that acted as a confirmation. Not yet.

Let's just say he had his doubts that the horsemen were the type to be throwing parties in their domain.

Entering, he glanced around, only seeing the four thus far. His gaze lingered on Invictus a little longer than the other three as he looked at them each.

"Hey," he greeted as he moved out of the doorway.

----

This was certainly a curious thing.. To be meeting at the famed co-ed bathroom. It also sounded like quite a few people have received the same word, more or less. Something big was definitely happening, but Shun couldn't be completely certain as to what it was. He just felt it was something he should look into.

Silently, he stepped in, glancing to the horsemen for a moment. The only one he hadn't really had any sort of interaction with was Famine, though things had been brief with the other three. He nodded to them briefly, then moved over towards one of the walls to stay out of the way for whoever might be coming in. He was expecting Mitsu to drop by, so he was keeping an eye out for her. There were others, he had a feeling, who would show up as well.

Arms linked they walked at an unhurried pace down the gym corridors, chatting pleasantly.

"You where right, the outdoor arena does make the perfect picnic spot."

They turned down one hallway seemingly at random, just wandering the grounds.

"Oooh hey look, want to be naughty." Mandy wiggled her eyebrows pointing towards the co-ed bathroom, for all purposes suggesting something quite scandalous.

She didn't give Alwine time to reply before tugging on her ghoulfriends hand and pulling her through the crack in the door way.

And immediately dropping the smile and laugh, assuming a serious expression appropriate for what she thought may be going on. She hoped that pleasant ruse had been enough to throw off any watchers.

(Actually not entirely a ruse. They had been on a date, it just ended with going to this secret mission.)  

[Bittiface]

After all the rumors surrounding the Horsemen reached Mot's ears, he barely allowed time to unpack his things before heading to the mysterious Co-Ed washroom.

The cowboil walked carefully, his spurs always a dead giveaway for his location. He slipped through the large doors, making his way toward the center of the room. Woah... this was a bathroom? Why was it so fancy? Why couldn't all the bathrooms be like this?

His gaze fell unto the Horsemen, lined up ever so precisely. He's seen three of them before, two from his field trip, and one from Sex Ed. The other was new to him.

"Uh... Howdy~!" He called out with a grin.  

[Kaze Taco]

Alwine was a terrible liar, so there had been one rule that she had given herself: do not say anything on the way there. She was certain that the Drop Bear would take care of all the important details.

So she just swung her alligator purse (containing her pumpkin, of course) casually and gave flirtatious glances towards her ghoulfriend. Of course, given that she had no head, said 'flirtatious glances' were really only a slight tilt of her neck. While Mandy chatted, Alwine just giggled (and occassionally apologized for no reason-- that, at least, was normal).

"Oooh hey look, want to be naughty." her ghoulfriend had asked.

Alwine's giggling halted and she started to stutter out of embarrassment, some of her bandages tinting pink from ectoplasmic blushing. However, before really anything could come out of it, the two of them were in the co-ed bathroom.

Anything Alwine might have heard about the Horsemen came from rumors, and if it weren't for Mandy she would have had no idea where their 'lair' was. She looked at the four of them and wrapped a hand around Mandy's arm, unsure of how to react.  

[moonlit-raven]

Rumors were rumors, and ordinarily, Myr would have ignored them entirely. Something about thesse ones, though, just made him curious, and he snuck down to the washroom, slipping inside when no one was looking. He didn't know much about the horsemen, nor had he really had a chance to interact with them, but this was jut something he felt he couldn't miss.

He was, thankfully, not the first one into the room, and he grinned brightly a Jericho, before looking around. It was much less of a bathroom than he had expected it to be, in fact, if not for it's name, he certainly wouldn't ahve labveled it one at all. Perhaps that was the point.

He moved out of the way of the doors, over towards where Shun was standing. He had the right idea, to be out of the way, and Myr was interested to see just who all would be coming to this liltte gathering.  

[Pepzilla]

Arriving in his not-so-peak condition the boil was ready to hear what his superior peers were up to. Though he'd only briefly spoken with Invi and Eris and the last interaction with Cym was on the island, he had officially met all four of them.

Naturally when he arrived he tried to stick closest to Aisa though the two from the haunted house were given gracious looks every now and then. They did stop the kyubey's torture after all.

With his game face ready and despite looking worse for wear Bul was READY for whatever they had to offer.

---

Pepin on the other hand didn't know a single one of the horsemen and appeared only through Neil's instigation. Naturally she caught on to rumors fast anyway so for the glitch ghoul not to show up was completely out of character.

And lookie there. Meat Shield had already arrived! All was good in the world. All was good.  

[Inu-Mitsu]

As Xiu had asked her Mitsu had come to the co-ed bathroom and she searched for the baku but instead found Shun and even Mot already inside. Her crimson eyes scanned the area spotting the horsemen before she moved a little closer to her big brother and Shun. She had heard some of the other rumors but still didn't know much about what was going on, just that there was a movement of sorts.

"Big Brother, have you seen Xiu?" Mitsu asked before she moved closer to Shun figuring it was best to stick close for now. "She was the one that asked me to come..."

"What...exactly is going on?" That question was directed at no one in particular. It was just something she was curious about.  

[bobaTJ]

Taryn entered the washroom quickly, hoping to avoid detection simply by being casual about it. Once inside, though, her eyes went wide. Horsemen? She hugged herself close, lingering at the back of the room to listen but hopefully not interact all that much. She didn't know these ghouls and boils, although she had seen them.

What was this all about...?  

[kuropeco]

Sparrow Heartreed stepped into the co-ed bathroom with an expression of enormous curiosity on his narrow face. He wasn't entirely certain what was going to be going down in here, but after receiving the invitation from Asia he hadn't exactly thought to decline it. Besides feeling as though it would be rude to do so, something told him that saying no to the horsewoman would result in something...well, unpleasant, perhaps.

He just hoped Wren had gotten his note.

Tugging idly on the gloves pulled over his fingers, Sparrow's gaze flickered from horseman to horsewoman, starting first with the only male one and moving down the line until he saw each one. He only vaguely recognized them - except for Asia, of course - and they all looked rather...well, intimidating, standing lined up like that (though the one on the end who seemed to be half made of only her bones had a wicked grin on her face, as though she were enjoying something for her own personal amusement).

"Good afternoon," said Sparrow pleasantly to those that were already in attendance, nodding politely to those he both knew and didn't know.

"And good afternoon to you, Asia," he added, giving the horsewoman a tilt of his head and a small smile, standing a little ways off to the side.



--------------------------------------------------------------------



Ren was not really sure why he was here - or rather, ever since Bones (as he had started to refer to Cymbeline as, at least in his head) had dropped that note into his pocket and made him write another, it had been on his mind - what exactly were the horsemen intending, inviting them all to their "lair?"

It was a conundrum, certainly - if he decided not to go, he could miss out on crucial information. If he decided to go, he might regret it later.

Needless to say he decided to go anyway.

His hands stuck in his pockets, hair pulled back into a loose ponytail at the back of his head, Ren stepped into the washroom behind several others, his expression unreadable. He had not come with anyone; he could have gone with several, but he had still not been feeling himself lately, jittery and unnerved.

Maybe LW or Jove or Gabrian would be there - even Haze, to whom Ren had texted about the meeting, since he had heard LW mention it and knew might already be coming.

Already his eyes were searching through the throngs of people, looking for his ghoulfriend - or even just a friend in general that he could stand with.  

[Ice Queen]

Now, actually, Roch was probably one of the closest watched of the students in the school. He knew it. Some might say he was being paranoid, but they hadn't seen his jackin' record. The good thing about this meeting, though, was that it took place in the gym. That meant they weren't that worried when he headed for it, because, well, lets face it, the kid loved to BRAWL.

Casually he typed on his phone, as if summoning someone for a beat down, heading into the gym without even glancing at the boogies, and through the entrance of the co-ed washroom as if he was only getting ready for another fight.

"Yo," he said to the room at large. "You summoned?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

Every now and then, Shun glanced over to Aisa, but then his attention shifted as more people filled on in. In came Mot, Mitsu, and many other students. It was going to be a little crowded in here pretty soon. He could tell that much. Moving a little closer to the wolf girl, he shrugged lightly at her question.

"I'm not completely certain. We'll find out soon enough, though," he replied to her before nodding to the cowboy, "Though I believe it's safe to say that the four have some big plans for us."

--

One by one, more students were entering the bathroom. Jericho had to wonder how many would end up showing up to this thing. Probably a lot. He waved to a few people here and there, but for now, he kept more to himself. Well, until he spotted Bul, that is.

"Yo," he greeted to the lizard. It had been through him that he found out about this gathering after all. That, and he was there when Riley and he met up with Nox to figure out more of the Hunter business.  

[Pepzilla]

Upon Jericho's approach Bul nodded his head a bit. "Thinking this will be rather important after all that.. before the trip," he said in a hushed voice. "I'm honestly shocked you-know-who isn't here.." he said referring to the trick or treater.  

[Kaiyumi]

Clearly word had spread fast. By the time Xiu had slipped into the bathroom, there were already plenty of others who had arrived. Her baku's gaze swept over the other students, her expression lighting up as she picked out Mitsu among the group. She promptly head over towards the small group that the lycan ghoul was with.

"Mitsu, aniki, Mot!" She greeted each of them in turn, and then her voice became a little hushed as she glanced nervously towards the horsemen, "This must be important if it's spread to most of the school." It didn't look like this would be everyone yet either--students were still trickling in, one at a time.

She waved to anyone that she recognized--Sparrow, Ren, Roch, and Taryn--and wondered if they knew anything about what was going on. Considering how everyone looked somewhat confused, she assumed that everyone was in the dark about what the horsemens' plans were.
