Rita and The Trickster arrived in Ormond. Rita felt a bit chilly in this realm, it wasnt as cold as it should be, but there was a definite chill in the area. The Trickster glanced at her and noticed that she felt chilly with how she wrapped her hands around herself to keep herself warm
"Do you need a coat?" he asked her
"I-I'm fine" she said as she didnt really feel comfortable accepting anything from him.
"You are the one who wished for an alliance with a killer. Like it or not, we must work together to progress anywhere. Lack of trust tends to break any bond or connection or whatever is the right term" he spoke from a more logical point of view. Plus he kinda didnt want her to shiver all the time.
"Alright alright, fine" she reluctantly agreed. She didnt like it, but he had a point. What was the point of working together if you wouldnt trust eachother.
The Trickster chuckled softly and took off his jacket and gave it to her.
The two then after that exchange decided to enter the main building. As they neared the area, they'd hear some loud 90's music.
Right off the bat as they entered, they'd see 3 of the Legion members. Frank, Susie and Joey. Julie was missing which meant she was either in a trial or off doing her own thing. When the 3 Legion members saw Rita and the Trickster they quickly drew their weapons.
"The fuck do you want?!" The leader of the Legion asked the two
"Thats Frank" he whispered to Rita and then focused on answering the Legion and put up a very overly friendly and cheery persona "Hey there. Frank! How you holding up? Entity giving you any trouble?"
"Why do you care what happens to us you dumbfuckwad? What are you up to Trickster?" Frank asked, annoyed by Tricksters intrusion but also cautious of any trick
Rita meanwhile noticed the constant cussing. It kind of reminded her of Debra. The Trickster though continued to deal with Legion
"Listen listen, you dont like the Entity" he moves out of the way to show Rita "SHE doesnt like the Entity." he continued "I think we can all work together to kinda get away from this?"
"Dont you like it here?" Susie chimed in and asked
"Well...yes-" Trickster answered but got interrupted by the 3rd Legion member
"So why should we trust you? How do we know you're not gonna screw us over in some way" Joey asked
Trickster sighed "Joey, didnt you absolutely crush it at your last trial?"
"I did. So what you're getting at?" he asked
"Well, we have a survivor working for us. Surely she can get some survivor insight. Like access to a certain alchemists lab that could leave the realm. So even if the Entity catches wind of us. We did such a fine work sacrificing survivors that, I doubt it'd be angry~" he spoke quote unquote innocently
Rita looked at Trickster questioningly. How come he knew about that place? Alchemists lab? Clearly he knew more than he was lettin on. She wanted to know more, but didnt want to raise any suspicion now. She could consult the survivors when she gets back
"I dont know, that sounds like scary territory to go to" Susie spoke as she twiddled with her fingers. Rita noticed that the female Legion member was a lot more softspoken and timid. This must have been the youngest member. Rita then looked at Frank, who had his arms crossed, still holding his knife. Ever so cautious and protective of his group
"Again, what the flying fuck do you want?" Frank asked
"We need your help?" Rita spoke
"Who the fuck was talkin to you woman? Im talkin to your pretty boy boyfriend over there"
"Pfsh, she wishes she could have me. But its fairly simple. You know we can get taken by the Entity at any point in time?" Trickster spoke
"What about it?" Joey asked
"Well, while we are doing our thing and exploring. I could just be called to a trial and she can be left alone and get eaten by Dredge or whatever. I kinda dont want that to happen. So I'd like us to travel as a group. At least a group of 3. Me, her and one of you at least" Trickster said his demand
"And where the flying fuck are you going?" Frank asked
"Hawkins~" Trickster said
"Hawkins? How come you're going there of all places?" Frank was surprised they wanted to go there.
"Demogorgons nest. We need a lighter, the area we found is too dark." Trickster explained
"Then open a fucking window?" Frank spoke
"Oh yes, to let in all that sunlight. Because there's so much of that here" Rita spoke sarcastically. And while she cant see Franks expression because of the mask, she could sweat he gave her a look or a glare.
"She has a point there" Joey told Frank
"Well I aint doing shit. At least not until Julie comes back." Frank spoke. He wanted this to be a vote with all 4. He didnt want to risk anyone on his watch. He was keeping his group safe.
"Well I guess we have nothing better to do but wait" Trickster said and sat on a table as he waited for Julie's return. He looked at Rita "You might as well make yourself at home. We wont make any breakthrough before their fourth member comes."
"Right" she said a bit timidly and noticed the Trickster motion to her to come over to him. She wasnt sure if she wanted, she felt reluctantly 'safe' with him rather than with the other 3 killers she barely knew. And while Susie felt more softspoken and timid. She wasnt sure if the girl was some unpredictable stabby danger.

Meanwhile
The Knight arrived to the survivor campfire area and noticed his target wasnt there. Again he didnt know how to feel. On one hand he was glad, but on the other he was upset. He looked at the other survivors. He noticed Meg was also missing and that coward he hooked first. Dwight. Maybe she was in a trial with them? Hm. He wasnt sure what to do. He didnt even really think what to say even if he did see her. 'hello woman, I am fond of you'. He doubted she'd find that romantic. He wasnt someone who had a way with women. He sighed and wanted to make his leave. But then saw something. He immediately went to the shadows and reached down in the bush and pulled out a Ghostface who was hiding and stalking him. The Knight was holding him by the throat with his one hand and slammed him to a tree
"What are you doing here?" The Knight asked
Ghostface merely pointed to his hand that was holding his neck. Signaling that he couldnt really speak when he was being strangled. The Knight let go and dropped him.
"Oof"
"Speak" the Knight demanded
"I was just doing my job. Keeping an eye on people" Ghostface replied and tried to play it off all casual
"Does that include following me as well?" The Knight asked
"I mean you were spending time with the survivor. And why were you training her?" Ghostface asked a question back
"It was no where against the rules to train with a survivor. The Entity agreed to it" The Knight spoke
"Really now? Interesting!" Ghostface was excited to hear about it. It was like the hottest new gossip to him.
"Hey hey! Knight. Wanna see some nice photos I snatched" he said and reached down to draw some. He showed like a few, but not all
The Knight didnt get a good look at it before Ghostface swiped it away
"Ah ah ah. Cant do a favour for you for free. I do something for you, you do something for me in return" Ghostface spoke as he wagged his finger
The Knight grabbed Ghostface again by the neck, wanting to strangle him. Ghostface tapped his hand again, letting the guy know that he cant make any demand this way. The Knight dropped him... again.
Ghostie tried to brush it all off as if it was nothing, but swears he could feel the Knights glare.
"For the photos? At least all of the Ebony mori offerings you have"
"I have only 2" The Knight spoke
"2 is enough" Ghostface said with a shrug
"I know you demand more than just a right to kill survivors by your own hand." the Knight spoke
"Hmmm... how about a little teamwork for mutual benefit?" Ghostface asked
"I dislike your scheming, so no" The Knight spoke
"Fine. Dont want an easy task? Then get a harder one" he crossed his arms and soon made a harder demand "I want you to find a cure for Blights serum. Because getting your face and insides melted out every year isnt the most pleasant of experiences. And I could do without that. So how about you mosey over to Blight and find a cure" Ghostface said
"I do not believe one exists." The Knight spoke
"Well then make one." he throws one photo over to him "Heres your appetizer. And to spice things up, I will teach you english proper for you and your girlfriend. AND I promise I'll stop taking photos of you two" although on the last part he did cross his fingers behind his back. Clearly not intending to stop stalking the two any time soon.
The Knight merely caught the photo Ghostface threw and looked at it.
