............... Damien shot upright hearing the loud thud which was even worse with his naturally heightened senses. The quick movement caused him to fall off the chair and land on the floor, which was rather confusing since everything was all blurry when Damien didn't have his glasses on. He already knew who it was, he was just wondering how many ways he could escape dealing with whatever Cordell had found for him to do. "I thought you'd have retreated back to hiding wherever you hide when you're needed?" He grimaced as he picked himself up off the floor, rubbing his eyes with one hand as the other searched for his glasses on his desk. Once the glasses were found, Damien put them on and glared at Cordell. "Really? What's so urgent you have to wake me up like that?" He yawned tiredly and pushed his glasses back as they began to slip off again. A part of Damien's brain that was still functioning told him coffee was needed, so he pressed the button on the coffee machine as he waited for what had better be a rally good answer.

..............."Are you sur-" Castanet cut off and pulled her headset off with a hiss as the headset started buzzing loudly and the monitors went down. She rubbed her ears in frustration and checked the cameras. Perhaps talking to a kid who could send electrical shocks was a bad idea. She grumbled and watched Ethel very carefully on the monitors instead of trying that again.

............... When Cordell began talking about how the council had given him some of Damien's work, Damien didn't say anything in retaliation, and took on the attitude that he tended to take with people who aggravated him. The attitude of 'I may look calm, but in my head I've killed you three times over.' It was an attitude that Damien tended to use more than a lot in this school. "It wasn't amusing. I now have a ringing in my ears I'd prefer not to be there." He would've added more to his mini-rant, but someone had messed with his coffee machine as pointed out by Cordell. He sighed quietly and looked at the possible blood. "Can we ask them to come back later? I need sleep." He set the cup back down and started rummaging through the shelf next to the coffee machine for the book that had been used to fight the last Fade that had come to the school. Hopefully this one wouldn't see fit to shout 'puny mortal' loud enough to burst his eardrums again... Though he had actually been able to sleep when that had happened... He lifted the book off the shelf and started leafing through it while he thought. "Turning coffee to blood is a cheap trick to get attention. What else has happened?"

...............Castanet watched quietly as warning lights flicked over the controls in front of her as Ethel's tracker went down. She turned them off however, as long as she had Ethel on camera and in the eyes of thousands of snakes that were now heading in her direction, she'd be satisfied that the safety of one of the students wasn't compromised and that it was just a case of Ethel being annoying. She'd let Trinity deal with it when the teleporter came back from wherever she was hiding. However, when Ethel began exploding canisters, Castanet started checking her files on the computer. Harrisons weren’t meant to have exploding powers... She then slipped her phone out of her pocket and typed in Eli's number before pressing it to her ear. Dealing with a kid who's somehow managing to shock anything in radius was not what Castanet wanted to deal with, so she took the easy route of getting the parents to sort it out. She didn't give the person the other end of the phone line a chance to talk, "Is that Eli Harrison?" She tried to keep the natural hissing from her snake tongue as she spoke down to a minimum.

............... Damien was completely aware that Cordell was looking around his office, and he had no problem with that since all the important stuff was hidden out of sight. Once he'd found the page he was after, he left the book open on top of the pile of already opened books on his table. However he picked it up again and slid out the book that had been underneath it, then placed the ghost book back down again. He passed the book that had originally been on the top of the pile to Cordell, the page open on an angelic curse mark that Damien had found when Cordell had asked about them. "It should deal with your shadow problem." He listened to the part about the ghosts in the tunnels, and grumbled quietly. He then turned back to his desk to pick up the book about ghosts, "Right... Let's go check the tunnels then." He rummaged through a drawer on his desk and took out two of the witch stones, one he threw to Cordell, getting it to land on the open book that Cordell was holding. The other witch stone was put into Damien's pocket since for him an effect of witch stones was his powers kicking into action. He could only deal with that for as short a time as possible.

Lars had been following the river the whole time by now, he frowned hearing explosions noises, he could tell by the smell of the air that he was closer to the sea and stopped trying to get someone's smell, he smiled, he knew this smell well enough, 'Ethel' he thought, she was the person who had first helped him around and yet the first one he got to meet on the school. The wolf made it's way silently over and sat down on a place he could see her, he tilted his head to the side.

'Since when she explodes things?' he frowned looking at the girl.
"My happiness starts at their death."

............... Damien watched Cordell's reaction to the angelic curse mark in the book, though he was distracted when he realized that the spell he used on the Fade last time required a pre-drawn symbol on the floor. He continued flicking through the book as he followed Cordell out of the office, which he then locked behind him. He led the way to the nearest entrance for the tunnels, slipping a ring off his finger and pressing it against a crack in the wall to open up the tunnels. It opened as it usually did - with a very loud 'thud'. Damien watched as the stone wall moved out of the way to reveal the rather dimly lit tunnel, and then he stepped inside and rubbed his hands together as he muttered something under his breath. A globe of light, that was simply angelic energy, floated from his palms when he pulled them apart.

...............Castanet pulled a face when it turned out not to be Eli Harrison on the other end of the phone, and waited in boredom and impatience for the whole of her name to be said. "You missed out Princess, and of the High Court of Druids. Just stick with Castanet or Casta though, I swear my parents were being awkward when they named me. I realized it wasn't Mr. Harrison when it wasn't a man's voice on the other end of the phone line." Like Trinity, whom Casta hung around way too much than was good for her, Casta had developed the need to talk. "Councilor Esme Kane, I haven't seen you for ages... Ever since... Actually probably not a good idea to bring that up." She flipped the camera angles on whatever Ethel seemed to be doing at that moment, and seriously hoped that Ethel wouldn't see fit to explode an actual person. "You're Miss Ethel Harrison's carer aren't you? Can you please explain to me, how she managed to short circuit a bunch of electrics and how she exploded a water canister? Because I'm pretty sure unless she's magically become a druid over night or something like that, that it's impossible for her to do that. Oh, nd you haven't seen Trinity have you? She's pulled a vanishing act and left me in charge of an arena full of kids..."

............... Damien stood still when his shoulder was grabbed, though he stopped for the reason that he'd recently been shot in that shoulder and it would've hurt to try and move. The brief pain that had shot through his shoulder was soon forgotten once he heard the footsteps however, echoing around the tunnels. Once his shoulder had been let go of, Damien covered it with a hand. His free hand caught the floating orb of light and split it into two, one leading the way for Damien while the other proceeded to float about near Cordell's head. He had no idea why he was leading, if he came across a monster he wasn't going to be the one that hit it. He ducked down slightly as they passed underneath a low ceiling part of the tunnels, and the continued onward wondering what this Fade thought it would achieve by terrorizing an empty school.

..............."Casta." Castanet corrected, trying her best not to hiss in annoyance at the woman who was beginning to wind her up, seemingly on purpose. "The matters of Demon Hunters concern me when I'm teaching at Horia. This was agreed by you and your fellow council members after you all threatened to have me shot because you all thought I was attempting to poison you all. Regardless, I am not worried about my own life, but Ethel is in the middle of an arena with thousands of students. What if she decides next time to barbecue a person? Personally, I think the trial for that would be rather amusing but best avoided." She raised her eyebrows hearing the last part. "Stop rolling your eyes, it's not Trinity's fault she's that way. Personally I blame the council." Which was most definitely the start of Trinity's horrid life in the Otherworld, but the council didn't know that because the old council had all been killed to keep the experimentations a secret. Castanet found it amusing that she knew more than the Kane councilor did about her own family. "Anyway, since Ethel could be a potential danger to the other students and I'm authorized to shoot and kill potential dangers. When can I expect you to be magically appearing?"

............... He had stopped when Cordell had asked him to wait, and wondered why exactly he was here, surely Cordell could've walked around stopping and starting by himself? While Damien could've continued sleeping soundly on his desk. He blinked when he saw the lion, and had to take a second look to check he'd seen it properly. As five more lions appeared around him and Cordell, blocking the exits, Damien began to doubt they were real. Unless there were five escaped lions from a nearby zoo, these lions were magically made. Probably work of demons. Then he got his answer to his earlier thoughts about why Cordell had made him come along in the first place. It seemed the person who could turn themselves to stone, needed a human shield. "I am not walking over there and checking to see if a lion is real. Simply because, if it is real, I'd loose my arm. Unless you've forgotten which family you come from, perhaps you should walk around poking lions. I personally would prefer not to have an early death."

...............Castanet had had enough of listening to Esme, and had taken to miming out what Esme was saying on the other end of the phone line. She could only stand demon hunters who didn't act like they knew everything, which explained why she and Trinity got on so well. When Esme had finished, Casta dunked the phone into the glass of water that was on her desk. The last time she'd used her phone she'd been blasting magic at a troll with it, so the druid magic still trapped within the electronics sent a trickle of water pouring out of Esme's phone. As the phone disconnected and went to the dial tone, Castanet realized that destroying her phone had probably been a bad idea since she didn't have the powers to dry it out. With a shrug she knocked it into the bin next to her desk and picked up Trinity's phone from where it had been abandoned on the desk.

............... "Some people tend to treat me like I'm five, yes." Damien mumbled, "I'm a Stave, correct. I also have incredibly bad eyesight because of - stuff. Angelic-demonic-council-and-Trinity-related-complicated-stuff." Damien still hadn't told Cordell about being half angel, simply because Cordell would probably use it as material for annoying him. "Heightening my senses only brings my eyesight up to just above normal while my other senses sky rocket to the moon." He was wondering why Cordell was telling him to go towards one of the lions, when he too realized one wasn't growling. Trying not to think about being eaten alive didn't tend to help in these situations since Damien found it made him think about it more. He sighed quietly, going the way pointed out to him by Cordell towards the lion.

...............Castanet had given up on the Ethel situation, and had simply set the cameras to record whatever Ethel happened to be doing, while she played a game on Trinity's phone. There was also now a bunch of snakes not far away from where Ethel was, instructed to keep an eye on the girl to make sure she didn't get up to too much funny business. Casta would let Caia and Trinity deal with the situation whenever they decided to come out of hiding.

... "How's mum?"
... Now that was one awkward question Angela was going to have trouble answering. She looked to Kage for help.

Kage blinked, looking at Aiden as he asked the question. Aiden had said their mother was, well, dead hadn't he? SHe looked to Angela, seeing her look to her and noticed the 'help' look. She gave a small shrug, blowing a strand of hair from her face. "I believe that's a question still on death, Aiden." She murmured, and looked sideways at Angela, "And don't look towards me for help. I can't exactly help with that question..."
