*As the scarecrow hits her wings she whips then towards the wall in an attempt to hurl the scarecrow away.*

----

*Walter stands up and follows after Jill*

*Lecter sighs and unholsters his pistol*
Lecter: Let's get there and help kill whatever else showed up.

*The Scarecrow gets thrown into the wall, but angles itself so it doesn't get that severely hurt, not that it shows any pain anyway*
*It keeps laughing as it rolls back at Hanna, practically doing cartwheels to move*

*Zeta stops for a bit to listen to the commotion in the other room, then uses that as a distraction to the current subject, which she doesn't really want to explain.*
Zeta: There's trouble. And a lot of footsteps going towards trouble. Come on.
*She starts walking towards the scarecrow with significant speed, not overly worried about leaving Xan behind.*

---

*Vaseraga doesn't speed up at all at the sound of trouble, and continues his pace as to not overly hurt Sasha, though if he did, he wouldn't give half a shit.*
Vaseraga: Perhaps this room was the right choice for me. I like the amount of trouble it brings so far.

*Hanna is disturbed by the way that the scarecrow moves but she doesn't let that distract her to much. She hisses and shoots off a volley of shards at it.*

Hanna: Iris get up!

*Iris scrambles clumsily to her feet and staggers back. Her vision swims as she moves and she feels dizzy*
Iris: H-hanna! Be careful!

*Horus looks towards noise of the commotion*
Horus: That doesn't sound good! Iris!? Hanna!?
*He jogs towards the sound of the fight*

*Xan nods, frowns and follows Zeta. She wonders about her reaction, seeing there's obviously something wrong. She worries that Zeta dislikes her, as most humans have in the past. Her worry weighs heavy on her mind and as she follows her shoulders slump slightly*

*Jillian walks into the main room, and frowns at both the scarecrow and Hanna. Looking closer at the scarecrow gives her a clear idea that this is in fact a demon. She fires a quick shot at the cartwheeling scarecrow.*

---
*John frowns at Vaserage, and takes on a readied stance as he approaches the room.*
John: Gotta admire the positive outlook.
*Sasha growls.*
Sasha: Put me down already.

*Lecter pulls ahead of the group, ready to kill something*

*The Scarecrow gets hit by the shards, let's out one last burst of laughter and promptly slumps forwards, unmoving*

*Hanna's wings remain out and she watches the scarecrow. She thinks it's dead but she doesn't want to take any chances and waits a moment before looking back at Iris.*

Hanna: A-are you alright Iris?

----

*Walter looks over Jillian and frowns at the scarecrow.*

Walter: How disturbing.

*Horus enters the room in time to see the scarecrow go down. He immediately thinks of Iris and Hanna, but mostly Iris*
*He looks over for them, finds them both and rushes to Iris's side just as she slumps against the wall*
Horus: Iris! Are you alright?
Iris: M'fine... Hanna...
*Horus nods, knowing Iris would worry about Hanna over herself. He doesn't like that fact, not one bit, but understands it as it's the same way he feels of Iris*
Horus: Hanna? Are you alright? What the hell happened?!
*He shouts over to her, wanting to know what exactly the scarecrow is*

*Tiaz leers at Be'Lak*
Tiaz: Not a Devil? You clearly don't know me then. I am as devilish as they come!
*He doesn't back down as Be'Lak walks towards him, instead reaching for a item hidden within the folds of his cloak*
Tiaz: One step more and you shall surely die!
*He grips something in his hand, still hidden in his cloak*

*Be'lak laughs as he keeps walking towards Tiaz, not even hesitating at his words*
You were crippled by a mortal girl. That you dare to claim to be of the same blood as me is disgraceful at best, Tiaz.

*Two trees behind Tiaz suddenly begin to creak and groan, And tbey sway more than any wind could do*

*Hanna looks at Horus and shakes her head.*

Hanna: I have no idea. T-that thing just burst in a-and tried to attack. So I dealt with it.

*Hanna's head snaps over and looks at Walter.*

----

*Walter walks closer to the scarecrow and inspects it. Hmmm. Very odd.*

*Tiaz growls and raises his hand. Held in his palm is a human looking skull, however something seems off about it. It doesn't seem quite human, perhaps slightly misshapen. From the eye sockets glow a pale blue light. He raises it so that it faces Be'lak*
Tiaz: YOU DARE!?
*At the mention of his injury, his rage is ignited. A blast of blue fire shoots from the mouth of the skull, scorching all in front of it with fire hotter than dragonbreath. The woosh of the flames drowns out the sound of the trees moving and he doesn't notice them*

*Horus nods and helps Iris up*
Horus: Come, we need to get you some warmth.
*Iris nods weakly and leans heavily on Horus, her scales cool to the touch. Horus nods to Hanna to follow them if she wants*
Horus: I'm taking Iris to get something hot, come along or stay here Hanna, it doesn't matter to me.
*He looks at Jillian*
Horus: I meant what I said, if you'd like to sit down and talk, maybe we can both learn a thing or two.

*Hanna nods to Horus but stays put. She watches Horus and makes sure to pay close attention to everything he says. She is unsure of how take Horus' lack of care. But she is more interested in what Horus said to Jillian, tho she knows better than to try and talk to Jill about it.*

Hanna: I-I'll wait here...

----

*Walter looks at the leg blades on the scarecrow then moves it around to see how it connects the the rest of the scarecrow.*

*Zeta sees the scarecrow on the ground, and just assumes that the problem is over. She does an about turn, and goes back into the kitchen cause she can't be fucked talking. She still doesn't feel comfortable making herself anything, and definitely doesn't feel like she deserves a personal room to herself cause she DID blow a giant fuck off hole in the ceiling of the kitchen, which she still needs to fix, btw. Instead of eating(cause she's semi-starved again), she lies down on the ground where she slept a couple days ago after the fight with the clones, and falls asleep.*

---

*Vaseraga carries Sasha a little bit longer until they're closer to the room, then he puts her down and finally gives the room a once-over.*
Vaseraga: What is the point of being negative, after all?

*Belak's back tendrils curl around him and absorbs the blow, glowing bright red as they take the heat*
I was forged in the depths of Hell. Yet you claim you can kill me. I cannot even die.
*Belak's laughter increases in volume as he curls a hand into a fist, and the trees behind Tiaz swing towards him*

*Lecter strides into the Room, leaving Vaseraga, John, and Sasha behind so he can investigate. He sighs when he sees the Scarecrow's body, and he immediately looks for others of them*
Lecter: How long was it here?

*The Scarecrow's leg is basically that of a regular scarecrow's, until it's knee (which is a metal cog), and then the rest is a prosthetic ending with the fuck off sized blade*

*Jillian frowns at Horus, and shrugs.*
Jillian: I guess. We may palaver later.

---
*Sasha grunts as she is let down, and sits waiting for whatever is in the room to be cleared by John.*
*John peaks into the room.*
John: Everybody okay?

*Lecter looks back at John*
Lecter: A Scarecrow got here, it looks like. Anything we saw in the forest could have killed this.

*Walter looks at Lecter and John.*

Walter: It was here for mere moments before it was taken care of. And nobody was harmed. Thanks to Hanna over there.

*He points over at Hanna who is sitting on a couch.*

----

*Hanna's head perked up when she heard her name and she looked over. She waved a little before going back to watching TV.*

*Lecter nods and walks over to the Scarecrow. He just holsters his pistol after smelling the air, and looks down at the Devil*
Lecter: She did good. But someone wasn't as fortunate.
*He nods to the blood coating it's blade, and sighs*
Lecter: Be careful for others like it. Can't say I've ever seen one by itself. Anything else show up while I was gone?

*Vaseraga nods to Sasha once, then pushes his hulking form through the doorway and looks around. He laughs at how homely the entire place looks, apart from the scarecrow on the ground. He nods once to Hanna as he walks, though he pauses slightly as his scythe blinks purple several times. He looks over towards the kitchen, and starts making his way to it like a man on a mission.*

---

*Zeta's spear goes bright red, which wakes up Zeta. It takes her a few moments to learn who's here from her spear, and is barely able to stand up in time before she gets kicked straight out of the wall. Vaseraga follows her through the hole, holding his scythe like one would imagine the Grim Reaper to hold it's scythe.*
Vaseraga: You took something from us, Zeta. Now you pay the price for your insolence.
Zeta: OhshitohfuckowowowowowfuckoffSpiky!
*She scrambles backwards to avoid the swing of his massive scythe, and only narrowly avoids getting her leg severed. The entire fight is Zeta narrowly avoiding Vaseraga's swings, before she finally makes some distance and gets ready to fight back. The ensuing fight is basically what would have happened if The Mountain had the upper hand in the fight between him and The Red Viper. So Zeta is losing ground and blood by the time anybody can figure out/see what's happening.*
