Nixon made an urked expression as Kate pulled the spear out of him. "Ow..." The vampire gasped, holding onto his chest where the spear used to be embedded in him. After a couple moments, he let go and stood a bit straight, hiding his pain. While Kate and Mason spoke, Nixon tried his best not to smile. "Oh so you are...never mind...I get it it's a wolf! Uh, sorry, but really it's hard to tell the difference these days!" Nixon folded his arms. "Now on why we're here. Do you remember me at all? I know it's been a year but I did bring you guys here. Remember? At all? Anything? So, after looking in the forest for a year Kate and I found it. So, here we are! You guys the welcome party?"

Hammond grinned as Zhalia fell to the ground, putting his trigger back down his sleeve. He picked the siren up and hefted her over his shoulder. Judging that she came to the town, Hammond figured there should be the members coming soon as soon as they noticed her disappearance, but he should be long gone by then. Hammond began whistling "Drunken Sailor" and waved his arm, creating an image illusion behind them that should conceal them until someone walked through it.

The Manager sighed as Hebi asked to go outside again. "I know this place is getting bland but you know I've been trying to fix that," he explained. "My investors have mostly dropped and many of my contacts for human resources have been compromised. I can only assume the same man who made everyone disappear last year is responsible." He hated to make his daughter unhappy but the Manager had nothing to fill it. He worried about having her go outside, and he couldn't accompany her because of his work duties for trying to reconstruct everything.

Anthony sat up in the stream, breathing heavily. The hunter quickly looked around, not seeing any of his weapons, not even his sword. How long had it been? To him it had been three months of repeating the same day. "Time loops, Trickster..." He muttered. Anthony still couldn't remember how he even got out, but he never wanted to live that day again, and now he had about 100 times. The hunter looked around, not seeing anyone or even hearing anything other than the stream. [i]Right, I need to find the town...[/i] he thought, getting up slowly and keeping watch. [i]But, where is it?[/i]
