So the place was pretty fucked up, and she wasn't hearing anything else going on inside. Chances were that the worst of the confrontation was over, but whoever or whatever did this could still be inside. The door was already open so she didn't need to try finding some way to get in, and the cops were already here, so there was no point in worrying about people calling the authorities because they looked suspicious as hell. So she could go inside and start poking around, but that's how people got fucking merced in horror films.

The ominous fog, eerie silence, small town and destruction of the Tinder household all had her convinced that was the most apropos genre for the current situation. Nothing anybody said would convince her that those rules didn't apply here. Sure, sticking together with Zoie brought its own dangers, but as long as they didn't go off to play tonsil hockey or mash scissors together, the risk of bloody death was minimized. Mali left the front door to go rendezvous with Zoie when she saw a car pulled up that wasn't there when they did. Immediately, her brain told her to find Zoie quickly. She didn't notice Caesar and Keystone in the car, so her that whoever it was, it wouldn't be good to be caught.

Best case scenario, it would be friends of the Tinders about to have a rude surprise, and to them, it would look like she caused all this. She didn't want to think about the worst case scenario. There was no way she'd be able to sneak her way around. She was too big and not nearly subtle enough to try pulling that off. Running where they could see would just make things worst. Which left one choice. God fucking dammit, horror movies and their ways of forcing you into the stupid situation. Decisively, Mali made her way into the house proper. Perhaps she could find a shortcut to Zoie's location. Or at least some sort of hidey hole that would accommodate her.

"Oh, hello there Peter. Didn't expect to see you here." One minute Gio was busy keeping everything together, the next he looks up and sees Peter's face not dead. He wasn't sure why he was up and walking instead of being a corpse in the ground, having missed James' explanation of Siduri shenanigans. The Watch chalked it up to something about the dissolution of the time loop perhaps fucking with the chronology of events potentially negating Peter's death. Or something. Making sure that the loop didn't snap like a rubber band was way more important than apparently Peter being alive(?)

They were all quite aways from the gate grounds and he wasn't entirely comfortable that everything would hold together long enough for them to all get off the grounds in time, but he was even less confident that attempting to open up a time portal would be the right thing to do at this moment. Not only would attention be split, potentially ruining everything right then and there simply due to not being able to properly focus, but there was also the fact that the temporal situation being so questionable at this point that even if he did successfully open a time portal, it would break time for an entirely different set of reasons. He wasn't quite comfortable with the risks involved with trying to take a shortcut so to speak.

"As we all make our way to the main gate that we must do so with the utmost haste, but do remain calm. Somebody accidentally getting run over because they panicked and ran out into the road because they weren't paying attention would be quite an embarrassing way to go."

"Good thing. The place has been broken into. Whoever did it might still be in there." Mali got out of the truck and followed Zoie to the back. Looking in the case, she noted to herself that she personally wouldn't keep a bunch of weapons on top of silk clothing. That shit was expensive, and she wouldn't want to chance ruining it by having rough metal surfaces and edges on top. The night gown seemed fine, so she was probably just over thinking it, but still. If she was just going to have weapons lying around on her clothes, she'd pick jeans or some sturdy shit like that.

Mali looked down at the gun and knife. The gun scared her a bit honestly. She had never really been around them, being from the Suburbs of New England, which was about as far away as you could get culturally within the continental US. All that said, the paranoid part of her said that if worst came to worst, it would be better to have it and not need it than the other way around. Sighing, Mali took the pistol and the knife, putting the former into her back pocket (covering it with the tail of her shirt and keeping the latter tucked into her belt loop like Zoie.

"I'll check through the front. Could you make sure there's nobody around the sides?" The blade was something she was far more comfortable handling, and in closed off spaces, short melee weapons were superior to their longer and ranged brethren so she fully expected that if a fight were to break out, she'd end up using something other than the gun, but having it as a last resort was sort of reassuring. Mali cracked her knuckles and approached the house. She walked up to the front door and standing outside the frame, gently pushed the door open before peeking inside to see if she could tell what as going on.

Gio sat motionless, not looking at anything as he focused on holding the time loop in place. Or at least letting it slip at a rate he was comfortable with before speaking. Sophia's and Andromeda's voices felt muffled and far away. As if he were hearing them from the inside of a glass bottle. But he still heard them. Just he was not going to answer while he was busy concentrating. As bad as it was to lose the loop unwillingly, it would be far worse if the undoing of the loop ended up shooting them thousands of years into the future, or they end up lodged in the middle of the timeline where they were the automobile was never invented. He hated that timeline. They just used these gigantic trains to get around. They were so noisy you could never get proper sleep, no matter how far from the tracks you were.

"Yes I felt that as well. As for what's wrong? This is the last night of the loop. As soon as midnight hits, time will again begin to move forward. I have no choice in the matter. Right now I'm doing my best just to keep everything stable. Think of it like attempting to land a plane that's falling out of the sky. One wrong decision or slip and you end up crashing into a building, mountain, or worse yet, another plane, but if you remain calm and all goes well, the plane comes to a standstill peacefully."

"I believe it would be best if we went outside as well. The less information we have to share between ourselves the better." Slowly, Gio rose from his seat and began to make his way out behind his fellow Emendator. In other circumstances he may have upped his pace from this even more measured than usual gait, but he needed to make sure the unraveling of the loop didn't suddenly spin out of control while he wasn't paying attention.

"Hey Zoie," Mali said, looking over the scene, "You wouldn't have happened to have brought any weapons on this trip, did you?" She couldn't be sure of it yet, for all she knew, she was just letting her paranoia get the better of her right now and nothing had actually gone wrong. But at the very least she could get confirmation that they had means of defending themselves before going into a potential danger zone. Even something as basic as a couple of knives would at least make her feel more secure. She just hoped her intuition that Zoie decided not to bring anything because Grimm was relatively (compared to Justice) safe and/or that they would actually need something in that house was wrong.

Mali pulled up behind the sheriff's car and parked the rental vehicle. If there was anything that she could say whole heartedly at the moment, it was thank God that they didn't get here late at night like they had originally thought they would. The atmosphere was chilling enough as it was, showing up to a scene like this in the dead of night would have been infinitely worse. Hell, Mali probably would have decided, "fuck it, we'll come back here tomorrow morning. I'm not getting torn apart by some slasher villain now" and just drove past to reroute to a hotel. Alternate timelines aside, they had to deal with this bullshit right now, and she didn't like it one bit.

"How much time does this loop have left? Not very much. I'll say that much." Gio hated being right in situations like this, even if it was only the gut feeling telling him the truth of the matter here. It would have been so much more convenient for them if they were afforded at least awhile longer to try working up some experience before fate hit them with the End of Days, but unfortunately they would seemingly have to make do with what they had. Gio pull out his pocket watch, flipped it open to stare at its face before shutting it again.

As distressing as losing control of the time loop should have been, Gio felt remarkably calm. Maybe the full weight of the implications had yet to hit him, but he got the distinct impression that he should be freaking out. What was troubling was that he couldn't be sure why his control was waning. Of course, the easy answer was that it was this Niburi kicking in. Or that time itself was starting to fall apart. But he knew that his control over time was not absolute. He could not reverse death or go back more than a few seconds. However, their guest had shown herself able to change day to night without much exertion, a task he'd never been capable of; he could easily see this Siduri wresting away the loop as a means to spur them into action. Or mostly Gilbert into action. He seemed most content to rest on his temporal laurels of the lot, although the Watch wasn't going to say as much.

"Of course, Nancy deserves to be aware of everything that happened tonight as well." Although Gio had the most troubling feeling that the end of days would adversely affect Loki as well. Her cards might fail to come up answers for the third time.

"If I hear any banjos in the distance, I'm turning this car around." Indiana was by no means prime hick territory as far as Mali was concerned, but dealing with those types was out of her depth. High class parties and big city freakshows were one thing, but she had to draw the line somewhere. If she was going to end up horrifically murdered in the near future, she'd make sure that at least it wouldn't be at the hands of Big Bo and Ol' Slim.

Judging by the smell of the fire, it was likely that the surrounding area wasn't ablaze, which was a good and bad thing. The good part being that at the very least, it wasn't likely that she'd have to worry about the fire spreading into a massive inferno that chewed through miles of land and potentially Grimm itself. Probably. The bad news was that left a lot of questions about what exactly was on fire. Somebody's house? A factory? A Sprint store because somebody decided to be a dumbass and use too many multi socket plugs on a single outlet?

And on top of that, why was it on fire? Chances were that it was something that she had no business knowing, but the off chance that it did involve her, or would in the near future felt too large for her liking. But whatever the W's of the situation, the fact of the matter was that she wouldn't really be able to learn more about the fire without getting closer to the site. The two of them had priorities to take care of, and she wasn't about to take a detour exclusively because she was curious and paranoid.

Siduri's reaction cemented the feeling Gio had had. The time loop was by no means a guarantee that they had as much time as they could waste on their hands. Moving forward they would need to be decisive in action, but at the same time, he needed to ensure that nobody got ahead of themselves and rushed needlessly into danger, as Faith seemed desperate to do. Still, the Paradoxes were chomping at the bit to progress so a gameplan needed to be laid out. But first, questions must be dealt with.

"Niburi, the point of transition." Gio grasped his chin and concentrated on the term for several seconds before returning with an answer. "It does not immediately call to mind anything, but perhaps it will come to me later when I'm not on the spot. Perhaps Niburi refers to now as we transition towards the end of days. Or perhaps it is some point in the near future. Or the distant past."

"As for the matter of Miss Faith. Yes, of course she's going to have to undertake the journey, that has never truly been the question. It was a matter of when, but seeing as time is short, it is likely that she will have to go post haste. As for the rest of you, we lack the time and attention to be able to undergo more thorough direct tutelage. And as nice as it would be to source trainers specifically tailored to each of your talents, such a pool of teachers is probably out of reach with our current resources."

"I fear that the best option available to us might be having to send you out on your own and let adversity be your master. That said, we still might be able to decide some other path with a bit more deliberation. Putting aside all else, it would be best if nobody left until they've had a good night's sleep. It is quite late after all. Setting out on a journey sleepy is getting off on the wrong foot at its finest."

Roger wasn't too sure entirely of what was going on, chaotic as battle was, but he had a relatively decent understanding on the broad picture. They had managed to inflict significant casualties on the enemy, if not getting out entirely unscathed themselves. But everyone was still in perfectly serviceable condition as far as he could tell. Well the werks were, the mental state of some of the pilots was questionable, but that might as well be called Tuesday with Squad Sigma.

Through the various comms there were a lot of messages, most of them Rooney heard, but didn't really stick in his head. It was bad form, but there was a lot to take in at once, and he had to focus hard enough on piloting as it was. That said, there were two messages in particular that snagged his attention. First was Dietrich's message. Not for any particularly dramatic or important reason. It's just that he heard his name, which pulled his focus in that direction until he figured out that the other pilot was merely using "roger" as an affirmative, rather than specifically trying to call his attention.

More importantly, there was the directive from the boss lady herself: press forward, engage, take out the turtles. Well if there was one thing Yeager was good at, it was pressing forward. Unfortunately, directly in his way was a wall of Cruxi War Machines, and he didn't have the firepower to take on all those combatants at once, nor was he the melee type, so trying to simply bust through (without suicidally ramming into them) was out of the question.

However, Roger directed his gaze down upon the radar once more. There was a spot open he could just make it through if he put the pedal to the metal, figuratively speaking. And once though he'd have a clear line of fire at 2 of the turtles. The drawback is that he'd be in a compromised position, but now was not the time for timidity. He'd need to rely on the help of the rest of the squad, but that's what they were there for.

"Got it. Going to try to maneuver to their rear flank along with Wagner." Roger first directed Yeager to move to his 10 o'clock, moving just far enough to align himself with the break in the cruxi formation. Then he adjusted course to point straight ahead and activated his Overboosters to pass straight through the gap in their offenses.

"We'll go to Tinder's place, first." As much as Mali wanted to say to get the hotel room first, she could feel that if she got the chance to lay down (while waiting for the shower to become unoccupied for example), she wouldn't want to get back up. And there wasn't much use in putting off the reason why they were here in the first place. They had gotten to Grimm ahead of time, so they might as well use it for something. Had they shown up at the originally projected 9pm to whatever, then things would be different. Kind of a dick move to show up at someone's doorstep right as they're probably trying to sleep and then dropping the bomb that their son's dead. Now, they'd be interrupting dinner at worse.

"So Zoie, call me paranoid, but I can't shake the feeling that something bad's going to happen." Her eyes flitted over towards the plume of smoke off in the distance. "Maybe it's the Silent Hill fog coming from over there, running into Caesar at the bookstore, or that we're driving into the cursed town where all those murders happened. But I can feel a wave of bullshit coming over the horizon. Just can't see it yet." She had her guard back up, but Mali wasn't sure if Zoie felt the same way. It would really suck if she got caught off guard when the flood came, so to speak. The least she could do was let her know beforehand about her sense of foreboding.
