This time, Shades was actually screaming from distress as Boxer came into the room and began beating him up. He shoved Boxer away and leaned over nearby mortuary cot as he rubbed his back. It was only now that he was questioning whether or not he should keep up his little shenanigans. Of course, we all know he won't stop. This is about the only time he gets to be mean.
He looked over to Boxer, well, more like glaring at him.
"I literally could not make it any more obvious that I was faking it. I know I deserve it, but Jesus Christ. At least check what you're attacking first. I mean, look at the mess you caused..."
Sukafu gave Sapphire a small smile...not that she could see it with that helmet of his, but he's giving her one.
"If it comforts you, you may keep holding my hand. I can see how this place, with the power off, can be unnerving."
He glanced around, trying to pick up anything through infrared light before he turned his attention back to Sapphire. She really wasn't liking that smell, huh. Guess he should count himself lucky that his nose doesn't work properly anymore.
"I guess in situations like these...perhaps I am lucky."
The light that Sapphire mentioned did catch his interest, turning to the direction she was looking on to.
"We probably should. If it's the ghost, we can easily contact everyone to come aid us."
Hairpin returned the hug, it certainly has been a long time.
"Oh well, you know," he began, "I managed to sneak in a little vacation at some point. So I feel all rested up."
The bags under his eyes say otherwise, but he swears on his mum that he did get adequate rest.
"Let's head on over to the second floor. Don't feel like there would be too many people there."

"I suggest we check in out, Brother Strappon. But we need to be careful" Father Crucifix said as he got out his weapon and activated Holy Weapon just in case. Then he slowly goes over to the room with Strappon. Meanwhile with Raincoat, she was checking around the area and looked over to Gloves. "I don't see nothing odd but i did see this" Raincoat said as she shows The door on Floor 4 that had been shot to death now hang helplessly off its hinges, slowly creaking open. In the room, the equipment seemed to have been shoved into one corner, but not piled up. There were scrape marks littering the floor, one obvious set being three parallel scrapes that lead out the door. "But that's all, want to continue to the Fifth Floor?" She ask Gloves.
"I'm really sorry, Shade" Boxer said as he look down. He didn't mean to attack Shade it just he got spooked.

"DAMN IT!" Demon Brothers said in their heads together out loud as they were so close!

Monocle tensed as he heard footsteps. He really should've stuck to tea instead of coffee. Sneakers held his staff higher, squinting at the darkness.
Polo just observed Monocle and Sneakers, with Flannel in one hand and one hand on his hip, he smirked at the two. Then he turned to Flat Cap and said, "We've got company"

"Company, eh? Fan-fucking-tastic." Flat Cap said with a smirk as he exited the room and cocked New High, ready to open fire on the source of the approaching footsteps. If they're hostile, of course.
Ruka listened carefully to the footsteps in the hallway. "Sounds like we're getting close to the fucker. No time to waste! Let's go, you maggots!" He said as he placed the flask in his back pocket and started running again.

When Gloves and Raincoat were about to investigate the room, Flat Cap runs out of the office and was aiming his New High at them. Gloves eyebrows raise in surprise and react quickly, "Whoa! Whoa Whoa!" He said while raising both of his holy gauntlet hands up. "Ease with the gun, man! We're not enemies! We're Angels!" He said while showing Flat Cap his Holy Red Virtue Gauntlets.
Sapphire listen to Sufaku response and look at him, "Okay." She said while nodding. Looking back at the light and they approach the office.

Ribbon, upon catching a whiff of the pungent stench, immediately covered her nose and mouth with her free hand, her whip held up in the other as they approached the source of the awful smell. She made a muffled reply, fighting the need to gag, "Gotcha covered! Hrk..." Despite her appearance of being unready, Ribbon at least kept an eye on things, not that much was happening in the hallways. The dissipated whispering made her visibly uneasy.

Strappon moved forward cautiously, trying to make very little sound as he continued forward. It was slow, and he was quiet. As they approached the office, there was a faint whispering from within. Because of the gloss over the window on the door, they couldn't see in, but Strappon put his ear against the door.
"There's a male voice within it." He whispered, glancing at Crucifix briefly over his shoulder, "We should be the only ones here... If this is the ghost, we've got to be very careful. We could fall victim to its powers. We're only human."
He backed away from the door and sighed, thinking.
"We should open the door and check it out. What do you think?" He asked, eyes scanning over the door again.
Blazer thought for a hot minute before turning back toward the stairs where Vampire Collar went.
"Yeah, whatevs. We'll check out the third floor on the way up to the fifth." They said, "Maybe if I find my bro I can scare his stupid glasses off his face."
They smirked to themselves, affirmative that was their plan. What about finding the ghost? There was no reason not to have fun. They looked back at Summer and Mary Janes.
"Let's head up."
Blazer lead the way up the stairs, cautious since the surroundings were still dark. They made sure to stay close to Summer and Mary so they didn't get lost. They shone their light on the "Floor 3" sign briefly before trying to open the door, but they stopped and seemed to shift uncomfortably. There was an oppressive feeling in the air that filled their gut with dread. They turned to look at the two.
"Do you... Feel that? I think there's something behind the door." They whispered, getting closer to the others so they could remain quiet. "I don't like this feeling. It's like something evil is here..."
--
Shroud had made his way to the third floor in little time, caring less about his surroundings. He opened the door to the third floor and walked into the corridor, turning to look at it briefly. He was stopped by the sound of water and smell of copper. The threads of his cape seemed to spread out around him as he looked around, the faint glow illuminating the area more like a deep red flame than anything. He turned to look down the corridor, ignoring the whispering behind the door he'd gone through, and proceeded forward.
Hearing voices down the other corridor, he hid himself in the shadows. He watched intently as he saw Sapphire and Sukafu. His eyes narrowed behind his mask, backing into a dark room so they wouldn't see him.
Fundoshi walked along, basically carrying Etch, as they went down to Floor 4. He could hear voices and backed into another room, pulling Jokki with him. He scoffed.
"Of course the Angels are here. There's a lot of them. We need to concentrate on finding the ghost." He said.
--
The smell of sulfur remained, and the smell of feces dissipated on Floor 6. The whispering died down, and now it was completely silent.
Nothing else of note happened on Floor 5.
The smell of copper came wafting through the ventilation system on Floor 4.
On Floor 3, the light from the office went out as Sukafu and Sapphire approached. The sound of rustling papers filled the office, faintly. The sound of water stopped.
In a room on Floor 2, there was a very faint red glow coming from under the door.
As Strappon spoke to Father Crucifix, the whispers behind the door stopped. It became completely silent- dead silent- and the air became oppressive. The door in front of them flew open, and in front of the two men stood a Lost Soul who looked no older than them. He stared at them for several minutes, completely still. It was like he was a statue. He stared at them both, almost through them.
Strappon stood almost frozen. This was, in all honestly, the creepiest thing he'd encountered. He spoke in a very low whisper.
"Don't... Move, Crucifix." He said, completely still, "I didn't think there was a Lost Soul. It may make us sick if we remain too close..."

"Gloves!" Polo exclaimed, relieved, he and the others sighed in relief, Polo went towards the pair and patted the Virtue on the shoulders and nodded at Raincoat's direction. "Let's group here now, eh," Polo said, his voice a bit shaky, "better chances of finding the ghost than being alone, plus we can defend each other, right?"
Monocle's heartbeat thumped faster, it felt like his heart was trying to crawl out of his chest. Holding Eyesore tighter, he looked at his comrades.
"Let's do this as fast as we can." He said shakily, "As soon as we get the fuck out of here, the better,"
Then he sniffed the air, something was quite not right, the smell seems too metallic.... is it iron? No... Sulfur?... Can't be...
"Copper," Sneakers said quietly, as if confirming Monocle's thoughts. He met Sneakers' eyes, whom was holding his staff with both hands now, Monocle grimaced. Why would the air smell like copper so suddenly?

Collier pouted as Strapon denied his offer, of course, he only made it to tease but now the other was just being rude. Following him around Collier put his hands on his hips and clearly not trying to be quiet or subtle about his actions, he didint care if he screwed things up.
"Maan you're such a downer Pinkie Pie, why you gotta stab my heart so effortlessly."
He crossed his arms and tapped his foot, looking at the door they were at.
"Why the fuck we bein' so careful, all we gotta do is barge in and deal- Oh shit thats a lost soul..."
--
Etch was being carried now, rest in peice. His little bird tail on his uniform twitched as it is now an excellent way to draw emotion with him. And he squirmed his way to standing again, walking along with Fundoshi and Jokki. His little heels clacking against the ground.
"Angels... well I mean, as long as we don't get in their way they won't get in ours... unless its that weird priest or his punchaholic friends... but if we find it first we'll have a really good chance at beating them to the punch... right?"
Oh yeah flannel is still a thing. He had found himself with his boyfriend on floor six, following bowtie for some reason. He spoke up to his boif gently.
"So why you bothering with all this fancy ghost hunting shit anyways? I mean why do this when you could like... do anything else, im sure there are other jobs out there and personally this shit bores me."

As Father Crucifix saw the Lost Soul too he froze like Strappon this is not good. "I understood, Brother Strappon but if my calculation are correct then that must mean that Demons are here too looking for the Lost Soul" Father Crucifix said to Strappon without moving but sweating a little. He started to think then came up with a idea. "I have idea and it is crazy but hear me out. What if we try to talk with Lost Soul?" Father Crucifix suggest his idea to Strappon. "I know it's crazy but if we show it no harm it will not harm us" He said still without moving. Meanwhile with Raincoat, She and Gloves have now meet Polo, Monocle, Sneakers, and Flat Cap. "Oh hi guys and hi new guy" Raincoat said very chill as she waved to them. Boxer and his Group were still looking around the Fifth. "Hey Guys, should we head to another floor" Boxer ask his group that was in the Fifth Floor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Tank Top and Dress Shirt were following Ruka, Tank Top notice one of the rooms glowing red and he tapped his Brothers shoulder. "What is it?" Dress Shirt said as he looked at his Brother. Tank Top pointed to the room and Dress Shirt smile. "You go check it out, i'll get the Absolute" Dress Shirt said quietly as he goes to 3rd Floor. "Hehehe, this is going to be fun" Tank Top said as he gets his weapon ready as he slowly goes to the Red Glowing door. As, Dress Shirt made his way to 3rd Floor, he looked around called out "Absolute" quietly so the Angel wouldn't hear him.

Flat Cap lowered his weapon upon seeing Gloves' holy weapons. "Sorry 'bout that, lad. Thought you were the ghost or one of them demons." He said before his nose caught the smell of copper. "Where da fuck is that smell comin' from?" He looked around for the source, the smell getting stronger as he closer to one of the vents and looked up at it. "There! The vents!" Flat Cap said, pointing at the vent.
Unaware that the two brothers had left his side, Ruka continued to run through the seemingly endless hallway after the footsteps. He couldn't tell if he was getting closer to the source or if it was getting further away from him and began to annoy him so he picked up the pace.

Vampire Collar stares at the lost soul and he quietly whispers,"I see dead people." He slowly blinks,"He's pretty cute though.." Vamp this is the wrong time to be gay.
Mary Janes waves his teddies arm,"Hi Mr. Ghost guy."
Foxstole facepalms in slow motion.
Virgin Killer looks around her with her brows furrowed,"Ya hear that..? Of course you don't its the sound of nothing..too much nothing. So much nothing the whispers shut themselves the capital fuck up."

Letting go of Mary’s hand, Summer got closer to the door, putting his ear up to it. “This is definitely starting to get creepy now…” He was in serious dad mode now. He looked at Mary, and gave him a reassuring smile before saying “Stay behind me, and if something pops up, I’m gonna need you to be brave and go back down to where Strappon is, okay?” He didn’t want Mary getting hurt so this seemed like the best option. Summer nodded at Blazer, and slowly opened the door, not really sure about what they were going encounter.
Diadem’s little twink hands were starting to shake. He didn’t feel too good but he had to push through it. He looked up at Flannel, and managed to give a weak smile. “I promised my family I’d do well on this job. It might seem silly but I want them to be proud of me.” Diadem tried his best to not start hyperventilating on the spot. He was pretty freaked out by everything. It didn’t help that the entire floor smelled disgusting. Or maybe it did since this was another reason to not start hyperventilating. He was holding on to Flannel’s hand so tightly that he was pretty sure his nails were digging into his boyfriend’s hand. But he couldn’t help it. He used his free hand to cover his mouth and nose. This was going to be a long night.

Mary Janes raises a brow,"Uh..mister Summer I may be thirteen but I've quite literally ridden a ghost. Ask you can ask Mr. Strappon if you don't believe me." He raises the voltage to his teddy, once again on max. He was a brave boy and sure as heck didn't need to hide. He's a lil man damn it, burying your moms does that to you.

At this point, Shades was leaning on to the icy steel doors of the morgue to dull the pain in his back. He wasn't budging until it went away and he's was making sure everyone knew that.
"Guy, hang on. Give me like ten more minutes for my poor body to recover, then we can go."
While recuperating, he browsed his phone. Maybe...some acquaintances were posting their adventures for the night, vital information for him and his group to avoid bumping into Demons, but no dice. With a sigh, he figured that his back was rested enough and began walking. He suddenly found himself hanging on to the cot for dear life as he nearly slipped on a book on the ground. Cursing to himself, he regained his footing and picked up the book. The least he could do was clean a few things up for the employees in the morning. As he was putting the book back, he couldn't help but notice how different it was from others on the same shelf. Like it was more a personal journal than an actual book. There wasn't anything outside of it to hint to it's contents, so Shades decided to open it up and skim through a few pages.
"Huh...Whoever's journal is this, they're definitely a poet..."
One entry in particular stood out. It wasn't structured like a poem at all.
" 'I have found myself entranced by the beauty of this mirror.
It speaks to me and my creative soul on a deep, spiritual level. I cannot find the heart to part with it, not even for a moment. I feel so alive in its reflection, but so dead and tired. My mind is a mess of riddles and words that do not come to me as clearly as they used to, and my parents plan to relinquish the mirror from my possession. I am unwilling to part with it.
I will bring this mirror to the grave with me. It's my most prized possession.'
-Bloodgood H Cutter."
Shades stood there staring for a moment, trying to process what he just read.
"Man... This dude's as bad as Narcissus!"
--
Seeing the light turn off intrigued Sukafu. He released Sapphire's hand, gesturing for her to wait outside of the office.
"Stay here in case of an emergency. I'm sure there's...nothing bad in there."
He'd be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. But he wasn't nervous as to what was in the office so much as the sudden oppressive energy that permeated the floor.
He stuck his head into the office, turning on night-vision on his helmet in hopes of spotting something.
"Oh great..." Jokki whispered, "They're the rowdier of the bunch too."
She tapped her chin, thinking of their next course of action, then snapping her fingers.
"Let's evade them for now, keep ourselves a hallway away from them. If we bump into them, I'll talk them into leaving us alone. They already know I'm...'pacifistic' so they'll ignore us as we're not worth their time."
At least she hoped that was the case. It probably wouldn't be with that new Angel they're sporting.
She then gestured them to follow, moving swiftly along the dark walls to gain distance. If she's spotted, there's always her pulling a cat trick to distract them.
