TEAM IT HURTS
Okay, clearly standing here fuming wasn't getting West anywhere. He kneeled in the grass, then when that proved more awkward than anything else, the boil took a seat, really looking at his net for the first time. If he patched this hole, he wouldn't have it to blame for losing any more bugs, at the very least. West began to slowly tie the ends of the frayed strings together, eventually giving up and knotting them all in a big clump. His net was much smaller, but it was also no longer holey.
While he had been working, a derpy butterfly had landed on his shoulder, amusing itself by watching the proceedings. When West's work was done, he reached over, plucked it off of his shirt and stuffed it into his net.

Team LoudMouth Base: 8/8 Pints Rolls: 7 Siobhan stared at the goop of a base in her cauldron with a blank face. Slowly, she reached for another bottle, pouring in the rusty water again. Maybe her rose coloured water would return? Urp.. no.. now it was just brown and smelled of a sewer. Quote: 7. You splash in a bunch of rusty-looking water. +2 pints.

West employed some form of stealth that lost him two more bugs. The only ones that remained were the ones he'd killed. Something to think about.

TEAM IT HURTSIt felt like ages since Levi had hollered at him to let him know their base was done, but eventually West shuffled back over to their cauldron, his once pristine clothing smudged with grass stains and dirt. "The net," he muttered, holding it out to her, "had a hole innit." He didn't verbally accuse her of anything, but his narrowed eyes and clenched jaw spoke volumes. Total bugs: 7 # of turns: 17

It was to be expected of Yin and Alex to say his and byes so quickly. Whenever they were together it seemed to Mei that she barely had enough time to talk to Alex before they were off in their own world together. It made Mei a little sad. Turning to Leo she grinned and pushed out her prior thoughts. Thrusting an arm into the air she laughed. "Yea! Come on Leo we will show them how to catch bugs and make juice like the pros do!" Tapping her chin she thought momentarily. "Hows about Team Undead Horse for a name? Annnddddd you catch the bugs and I will make the base?" Mei, in all honesty, while she liked all animals had a small issue with bugs. Some were pretty to look at from a far but up close she wasn't all that comfortable with touching them.

Thankfully, that butterfly that escaped him earlier managed to be recaptured. Jericho tried to make sure it was securely in the net this time around.

Just when Jericho was wondering where the hell the other bugs were, he turned over a piece of wood and found three more of the critters. Score. Finally, he had his six bugs. Making sure he had all of them in hand, he turned and went to bring them over to Siobhan.
"Got the bugs."

TEAM IT HURTSShe was mixing and mixing until she could mix no more out of concern for over mixing. With a bit of a huff, Levi settled the wooden spoon over her lap and crossed her legs, sitting back on her tail like it was a portable seat. Jack dangit, boil. I know ya'll heard me. Glancing around for West, Levi spotted the red haired demon fluttering about like a wild bear clawing at butterflies and grasshoppers. There was nothing in Halloween that could stop her smile. Out of respect, the tatzel seriously tried not to laugh out loud. It was an excruciatingly difficult task. If some chuckles made it out, it was completely unavoidable. Bug catching, training in the woods barefoot,... West didn't seem to do these things that often. It was a novelty being able to see the usually so clean cut boil smeared by earth and stains. Her smile just got wider when he walked back over to her. A hole? .. ya'sure ya'll didn't make it yerself? Oh he was in a mood now; Levi would have gladly had a roughing with him over his frustrations but now was not the time. They were being challenged by brewing these bugs and that was what she'd see done. Standing back up, Levi tugged at one side of West's collar, straightening and patting it down a bit simply out of amusement at his appearance. Wasn't like she'd never gone home looking similar before. This was really quite a refreshing view of the wrath demon. When he had to, he'd get his hands down in the dirt; good to know for the farming family ghoul. Nodding her head over to the cauldron of her mixture, Levi didn't take up West's net, but rather offered for him to place the bugs into the bowl himself. Not'a bad job, boil. Looks like ya'got a fair few good ones. Go'on now, put 'em in. We still gotta put some FEAR inta'it n' mix'it all'up. Wooden spoon in hand, Levi placed it into the bowl as well so they'd be ready to stir. Smerdle So what we've got so far: Total bugs: 7/6 likely well mashed prior to mixing# of turns: 17 Total pints: 9/8 # of turns: 4

TEAM IT HURTSHe lowered his arm as she reached up to straighten his collar, his upper lip twitching in a silent snarl. "No. It was there th'whole time." West felt a bit exposed by her easy way with such friendly touchings, and even though he wanted to shrink back and look around, the boil remained still. Eventually, his snarl melted into a particularly nasty little grin instead. "I was blamin' you." As if she hadn't known. He upended his bugs into the cauldron, extra beetle and all. "FEAR?" he asked, grabbing the spoon once she had let it go. West prodded the butterfly carcasses first, then paid special attention to drowning the critters he had left alive. "These gnomelings better 'preciate this crap." Especially if Moira had instructed them to use FEAR. The idea made him a little nervous, and those nerves made him want to get things over with as soon as possible. Nothing... strange... had happened during Malcolm's class all those months ago, but things were different now. He relented, taking a quick look around the area before turning back to the cauldron. No pumpkins. Everything would be fine. West kept his eyes on their mixture as he fed some FEAR into it. He stirred the slop, then rested the spoon back where it had been. nekoluch FEAR FYOOSHAN: 4 no pumpkins

"That would be me, yes," Taima replied, grinning at the mention of their mutual acquaintance. "My name's actually Taima, and it's nice to meet you, too." Team Punk Bird. It was silly, but accurate; she nodded in assent. "That works for me if it works for you." Her gaze wandered briefly to where the other students were stalking and catching bugs with varying levels of success, and then to where others were mixing bottles of random liquid in cauldrons like some kind of science experiment. "I'd rather do the cooking, if that's okay with you."

TEAM IT HURTSWhen West finished his stirring, Levi took up the handle of the spoon, exhaling before taking in a deep breath. Channeling her FEAR had its ups and downs. Sometimes it worked and other times, well, it caused her more headache than grant achievement. This time was no different than one of the latter. There must have been a dung beetle or something in the bunch because, as she closed her eyes, the strangest scent of something dead and/or dying crawled up her nostrils and agitated her throat. Problem? The tatzel's poison glands which activated her vapor release were sometimes easily irritated. The sensation of the stench caused Levi to cough up over the cauldron once as she stirred, eyes opening and watering slightly after the fact. The ghoul blinked, staring up at West like she wasn't sure what to do now. Their juice... might be poisonous. Smerdle Oh shi- might be poisonous but no pumpkins

TEAM PUNK BIRD: Roch & TaimaInle-roo Sorry for the double quote, forgot to add the team nameOTL "Works for me!" Roch said with a grin. He'd actually wanted this part of the job, but he was good either way. "I'll be right back with the bugs," he told her, grabbing a net on his way out to catch some bugs. Or... try to. He blinked as the bug skittered away, leaving him in the dust. "Whoops." Try# 1 Bugs Caught: 0

Er... thinking back, though, Roch thought as he landed face into the dirt, he'd never been bug catching in his LIFE. Maybe he should have stuck with the mixing and cooking and such... oh well, too late now, y'know...
He shoved himself to his feet and dusted off, rather glad he hadn't asked Amphi or Danny to be his partner. They'd be laughing by this point.
