Hook gingerly prompted his left arm on the coach back, scoffing as Enj went on. “I don’t know about you, mate, but I didn’t let the snotty leech do shit.” He leaned his flask against his leg, temporarily disinterested in its contents as he closed his eyes. The last room had been a shit show for everyone it seemed, though he hadn’t paid enough attention to the others to have any idea why. It wasn’t his problem...especially now that Myrnin was done bleeding all over him. “Seems a bit biased my ass got dragged through that room twice now,” he groaned. It was unclear if he was trying to start conversation or was just complaining aloud.

"Happens," Myrnin said. He took a shaky breath in and pushed a shaky breath out. It was hard to work out what to say when he was having trouble saying anything at all. "Friends hurt friends. Got to ... get past it." Were his sentences short? He wasn't trying to, but those were the words which were connecting. He offered Nico a smile that was as shaky as the breaths had been.

Hook squinted a bit at the hallway, his nose wrinkled in disagreement. “Refresh my ass, you ain’t the one with a broken rib.”

"Guess it's good we have a mutual friend then," Myrnin said. "Who's good at catching things." He sounded a bit tired. But he was trying. For himself and Nico. "Don't be sorry." He rubbed his hands together, feeling awkward and crumbled and hard to keep together. "For doing something you couldn't know about. If I blamed you ... I would be hypocritical." Oh look, longer sentences! He could do this. A slightly more real smile, albeit a sad one of someone who was hurt. "I don't blame you." He was sorry for scaring Nico though.

“Aye,” he mumbled, not planning on offering a further explanation. He cocked his eyebrow at the comment, studying the hallway for a moment before giving a half hearted chuckle. “I don’t [oops] with emotional monsters,” he explained tonelessly. “Especially when...” he shrugged his head the direction of his carefully elevated arm.

Hook slouched deeper into the coach, turning his head so he could glare at Enj as he spoke. “I hadn’t noticed,” he spat sarcastically, reevaluating his misfortune in the room with a frown. He hadn’t gotten to see what had happened with Shade...hopefully he hadn’t pushed her into something dangerous and then vanished before apologizing. Suddenly feeling a bit disheartened, he went silent again.

Hook continued to say nothing, watching the hallway out of the corner of his eye with mild interest. He seemed incredibly comfortable in the all too awkward atmosphere, not even glancing in Enjolras’s direction as he started fidgeting, probably completely oblivious to it. Given that the chaos was coming to an end, maybe the house would blink him out and let his leg heal up. It would likely keep him in a few minutes more than it needed to...which was an annoying thought. He sighed quietly, breaking the silence only to let it linger heavier than before.

Hook continued to stare blankly, waiting several moments before glancing towards Enjolras to see why he hadn’t finished his sentence. Seeing the man was finally gone, he sighed in relief and immediately readjusted himself so he was laying across the entire coach, closing his eyes in satisfaction.

Juuzou didn’t reply to the hat thing. He was too focused on the details he was noticing about his new companion, now. He tilted his head slightly, watching Myrnin slowly, his eyes narrowed and thoughtful. He couldn’t really tell. That was the annoying part. He couldn’t just tell what Myrnin was, and if he wasn’t a ghoul, if he were human, then...well, then they would be just fine. If he was a ghoul, though? Well, then they would have a problem, wouldn’t they? He considered that answer. It was plausible. After all, Juuzou had just survived a drop that should definitely have killed him instantly. Well…if that was all it was. “I see....” he said, making up his mind. He relaxed and searched his surroundings again, looking for Vincent despite having no idea what he looked like. Well, if they found anyone at all, that would be a start, right? He would keep an eye on Myrnin. There were ways he could tell. They would deal with that if it came to it. “Viiiiiiiiice.” He called, peering around again. He had no idea what they would even do if they found him. He was going to find out soon though, because whatever the reason, Myrnin definitely was going to find him. And since they weren’t ambushing him, there was no use being quiet about it, either.

Vincent - power room - mintedstar/fur ®Hawkpath® (finally,, I apologize) Vincent leisurely backtracked as the voices of the pair approached, his hands on his hips as he waited. He rolled his eyes slightly as Juuzo called out Myrnin’s little nickname, raising an eyebrow at Myrnin as he and the random kid turned the corner. “Vincent,” he corrected the stranger absently, only offering him a sparing look over before returning his focus on Myrnin. He didn’t have a clue what Myrnin had up his sleeve, but that was a familiar sensation. This time, however, he got the impression that the vampire would be eager enough to show off his new abilities without his stir. He gave the vampire an innocent look, holding up his hands in a lame display of his harmless intent. “What are you doing, Myrnin?”

“Oh, it’s nothing much.” Kelsier said lightly, smiling. “That would involve going into some details about my world.” Not that he had ever minded talking about himself. “He’s a nobleman.” He explained, waving a hand. “And that means he’s hurting people. That means he needs to be stopped, and the strategic thing to do now is to go ahead and kill him, to cause a little chaos. We’re messing with them right now, trying to get them against each other, because if we can do that we can tear the whole system down.” He paused, but not because he was worried about explaining things to Myrnin. He wasn’t. He was just deciding how best to do it. “Everything.” He said finally, his tone a bit more serious now. “Absolutely everything. The Skaa are nothing to the nobility, less than nothing. They’re forced to work in the fields to survive, and even then they barely have enough to survive. I won’t put you through the grisly details, but suffice to say being nobility means you hurt people, and being Skaa means you get hurt.” He glanced at Myrnin, wondering what he would think of all that. “I’m a troublemaker.” He explained. “They won’t rise up. They’ve tried in the past, and they’ve never gotten even close to scratching the surface. They’re scared, Myrnin, but mostly they’re exhausted, too exhausted and beaten down to do so much as look their oppressors in the eye. So I’m going to make it so they don’t have a choice.” He fell silent for a moment, considering that. He didn’t know what sort of promise the vampire had just made him, but still, who would he tell? Not like he could blow their cover, after all. “Yes.” He said simply. “That’s exactly my plan. He’s not only a man, is the trouble. He’s been alive for a very long time and he shows no sign of weakening. They say he’s a god, immortal and unkillable.” Kelsier smiled. “The heist?” He said, and raised his eyebrows slightly. “I’m causing a little trouble. Stir up animosity between the houses, make it look like the others did it. They’ve nearly wiped each other out for less. Let them fight amongst themselves, let them clear a path straight to the Lord Ruler.”

Arthur | Living Room | ~∂єѕтιиу Arthur's eyes narrowed even further. Last time? "You seem to be a bit peeved," he noted. "Is there reason for that or are you just going to make vague comments about my current situation?" He assumed that there had to be alchemical design here. He turned away from Vincent and started stalking toward the hallway. He didn't think that this place was normal. There were no windows, to start with. But investigating seemed to be the direction he was supposed to go. "Are you intending to come?" he asked over his shoulder. Vince - hall - mintedstar/fur“Peeved?” Vincent echoed the word with a slight raise of his eyebrows. He hadn’t thought his words had carried any tone, though he supposed his previous statement could easily be misinterpreted as aggression. Irregardless of what he’d meant, Arthur had grown a spine since they’d last spoke. An amused smile worked its way onto his face as the alchemist began to look around, his pale eyes tracing his movements closely. The maliciously interested look on his face softened as Arthur spoke back to him. “Would you have me?” He asked coyly.

Rue shook her head after a moment. “There’s not really much of a plan B available.” She explained, sighing. “We barely have a plan A. And it’s Katniss, not Kindness.” Which was hardly relevant, but she pointed it out anyway. “I’m setting the fires to draw the people away, so Katniss can have a clear shot at the supplies.” She explained. “They’ll be coming after me. They probably already are, because I’ve already set one fire, and I just need to set another one and then wait for Katniss to come find me. If this works, we’ll have a chance. We’ll have a real chance.” Well...Katniss would, anyway. She looked at Myrnin for a second, but she didn’t want to bring that up, not now. Not when he was trying so hard to help her. “Wait, what?” She asked, surprised as he told her not to gather them. “But you just said...oh.” She got it suddenly. “I won’t be near the explosion.” She amended. “Sorry, I should have mentioned that. And it’s too late to warn Katniss about the plants. I guess it still matters because of the fires though, I’ll keep an eye out for them. “Myrnin…” she said quietly. She didn’t want him to waste time trying to save her when she knew, in spite of her brave words at the interview, that it was hopeless. “There can only be one winner.” She said very, very quietly. “I trust Katniss with my life, I do, but we can’t both win. We can’t both go home.” There. It was out in the open. She hung her head. Kelsier | Living Room | Mint! “You can be whatever you want.” Kelsier told the other man, waving a hand. “Suspicious or otherwise.” He glanced at the man's wrist, but he had no way of knowing what had been there before the fire. Was it something that happened naturally, or something that he planned for beforehand? Oh well. He would ask before long. “How so?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at that remark. “You’d think asking questions would lend you answers, which sounds pretty good to have. I wouldn’t want to have anyone think I was giving up, after all.” Not accusing. Just something he was thinking about. “Curious, yes.” He agreed. “More curious about the people that come from them. But I’m not much for investigation. I’m more of an instigator, myself. I suppose you could say that I want to know all the secrets that I can.” He glanced at Arthur, smiling. “And I suppose you’re more the type to ask questions.” He noted, watching him. “You seem eager enough to know about me, anyway.”

“Oh, yeah that happens.” Rue confirmed, blinking at Sol. “Not very often though, not to me, anyway.” She considered the other girl for a long moment, then nodded, taking Sol’s hand. “Yeah, that works for me.” She said, smiling as she headed for the hall. “I’ve never found that the door matters, but you never know. There could be some kind of weird code to it. Anyway, do you want to pick the door?” Sol | Hallway/Memory Room | ®Hawkpath® |"Sure," said Sol with a small shrug, letting go of Rue's hand once she stopped walking and running her hand over the nearest door until her hand closed around the smooth knob. "Well, here goes nothing," she said, and turned the knob, stepping into the room. "Smells like dust in here," she said, turning in a little circle as she oriented herself to the sounds and smells around her. "And dust. Ok," she said, turning to Rue, "so what are we looking at? No pun intended." There was a decent reason it smelled like dust. The House had blinked them into a building that resembled an old museum, with artifacts lining the walls and displayed carefully on pedestals. The room itself looked extremely old but well taken care of, like someone often came by and dusted off the displays, although the insides and corners were still coated in a layer of the stuff. If you looked closely, you might notice that there was something oddly familiar about some of the objects. Maybe, you even remembered them outright.

Steve still existed in the room, no matter how much the only other person in the room couldn’t bear witness to his stupidity. The teen’s self preservation was admirably low to the point he couldn’t keep his mouth shut. “I said you make this,” He waved a free hand to the ever moving stairs, “Whatever place this is easy to handle.” Like any witless newbie he’d known very little of the buttons he was pressing. Remarks aside one quick misstep and he could kiss his ticket out of the room good bye. Instinctively he backed up when push came to shove, his hands reaching behind his back to get the filthy hand off his new polo. “Jeez, that was close” The edge of the platform did become less appealing as did his grumbling when the old captain spoke up once again. Hook’s reproach to Steve left him food for thought, the kind that spoiled quickly. Either way Hook was left with a confused yet useless teenager.

(Got a bit more free time on my hands now, so my replies should hopefully be able to come a bit more frequently. Fhcjdcncj) Little Garden of Horrors | Lark Sησω" H-how does that concept not garner even the slightest bit of worry from you?" The Supreme Primarch stammered, his utter puzzlement no longer being directed at alien, fire spitting plants, but the 'normal' human girl standing nearby. Not this again... There was no point to sit and try to understand the thought process of children. At least the other was treating the situation more seriously. Worlds? The boy must have meant islands, because the only other 'worlds' he could have been referring to were the Crimson Horizon, and the Astral Realm, of which Sandalphon was sure these plants belonged to neither. Things from those worlds all possesed unique, unmistakable auras, something not present in the flora before them. "None I've ever seen." The Primarch responded, shaking his head. Thinking about it however, if they were not creations of the house, he supposed it wasn't impossible that they came from some part of the Skydoms. With how vast the sky was and each island unique, it just meant they simply originated in lands he'd never been to before. Sandalphon cautiously glanced around at the surrounding plants, his own eyes narrowing when he spotted more and more flame wielding flora rising to the offensive. He also noted Azula's absence, although his feelings were of relief that she'd blinked out. In his eyes, it actually made things easier. The way things were going, fighting these plants would have been futile, and if she were still here, so too would have been attempting a speedy retreat. As if the building tension in this room was trying to take on a visable form, the air began to dance from ever increasing heat. It was not unlike watching the fuse on bomb reach it's end. Both children were right, this place was about to 'go boom', and they needed to run, before everything was set ablaze. Moving as fast as his physical form could manuver, the Primarch hopped over to the twins' side. "Hang on!" He said, quickly crouching down to pick them both up, propping each under an arm. It probably wasn't the most graceful way to carry them, but when your group was about to be incinerated by mutated plants, one thought about the fastest way to get them all out of there, not the most elegant. He bolted forward and took off down the path Dipper had spotted, clenching his teeth when he felt the heat at his back reach sweltering. Back behind the fleeing group, A loud explosion rocked the entire area. No sooner after, a wall of flame erupted from the source in pursuit, consuming everything in its way. His full running speed was more then any mortal could match, but Sandalphon knew it wasn't going to be enough when that pursuing fire was catching up. A flash of bright light appeared on his back, and a set of brown wings sprouted from his shoulders. Their tips awkwardly grazed the plants lining the sides of the path. The fit was going to make flying difficult, but the jungle canopy above was too thick to break through without proper force, which might hurt the twins. With no other choice, Sandalphon launched himself into the air mere feet above the forest floor and shot ahead, his speed increasing considerably. It was enough to keep them ahead for now, but ever so slowly, their pursuer was gaining.

Rue stepped in after the other girl, letting the door close behind her. Entering rooms of her own free will wasn’t usually a good idea, but nothing else was safe either, right? It wasn’t like she could avoid danger. Besides, some rooms were good. “Lots of dust.” She confirmed, turning to look at the room she’d just entered. “It’s...it’s a museum.” She said, surprise in her tone. “I can’t tell what it’s supposed to be about, though. All the stuff seems random.” And familiar, some of it. She found herself drawn to them, somehow, not all of them, but maybe around half. She glanced at Sol, wondering whether the other girl felt the same pull. Then a small, beat up doll with one eye caught her gaze and she pulled in a startled breath. “Oh.” She said it softly, her eyes wide. “How did that get here?”

Sol | Memory room | ®Hawkpath® | “What?” Sol moved to join Rue, and reached out to touch the object, but her hand met glass. Quickly, she ran her hands down to the bottom edge of the glass and began to feel around for - oh, there was the button. She pressed it, expecting the case to open, but instead, a tinny voice described what was inside, stopping short of a flowery description but giving a decent idea of what was inside. “Woah, cool,” said Sol, grinning. Then, she turned to Rue, still curious about her odd tone. “You recognize it?”

Rue didn’t answer immediately. Her attention was on the doll, and she was tense now, because the House messing with her past couldn’t be a good thing. She watched as Sol touched the glass, then blinked as the other girl searched for...oh. “Wow.” She said, impressed. “That’s useful.” It was accurate too, which knowing the House, was surprising. Still, she’d take it. “Yeah.” She confirmed as the other girl caught onto her tone. She reached forward, then let her hand fall, not quite daring to touch it yet. “It’s...it was mine. I loved it. Like, really loved it, as much as I loved my siblings. I was little.” She shook her head a little. “It’s not a good sign that it’s here. It means the House is messing with us.”

Archi | Cloverleaf Not too long after, Archie popped in, casually preening his rather long nails then pulling them through his rather short hair. He gave a slow glance around the room, eyes dead and bored until he spotted the Frenchman looking at the sadly useless books. "Good evening.... Or morning, whatever it might be at the moment.... What are you doing?" he inquired, strolling over to peek at the book from over his shoulder. Not difficult, given his stupid height.

"Afternoon in my own world, and here in the House I think we can throw out any attempt at guessing the time." Enjolras replied, his tone light and joking at the comment about the House. He turned to look at Archie, tilting his head up to get a better look at the tall blinker. Enjolras set the book back on the shelf, and picked up another one, shuffling through the blank pages. "Just... checking, I suppose. The books have been blank for as long as I've been coming here, so of course I stopped checking them. But I realized I hadn't given this place a good look in a long time, since I'd gotten so used to coming here. Imagine if it had changed and we all missed it merely because we expected it to stay the same in a House where very little stays the same."
Enjolras looked over as another person blinked in- he recognized the teen from the most recent room, though he couldn't remember his name. He looked like he'd had a rough time, though Enjolras couldn't tell if it was from the room or Steve's own world. "Hello." He greeted him.
