Night of Horrors (Jean/Eduardo/Ryung)

Ed was quite a night owl usually. After all, he had the duty to make sure the ship was watched whenever they were on it. And that meant replacing the sleepy frogs every now and then with fresh ones from the aquariums. Of course, this didn't mean he didn't need to sleep. He slept a plenty! But it did make his daily plan quite boring to somebody outside of it looking in: Taking frogs outside for a while, feeding the frogs, Swimming with the frogs, Teaching the frogs tactics, taking in the sun... with the most choice of friendly frogs... grooming Rosita, Making sure she is as big and chunky as ever. Very one note... However, for him, this was the most fun and energetic that he needed to be to enjoy life.

Which is why when he was scrubbing Rosita with a toothbrush, mumbling little cutesy words into its non-existant ears... Savage proceeded to slam into his room and Ed freaked out. "KWAK!" He threw his toothbrush into the air in a panic, with Rosita hopping into the air! Then the toothbrush bonked him on the head, as Rosita followed to dunk his head against her seat. "OOF!" With his head a bit dizzy, he proceeded to turn his head towards savage with mild murder. "What are you doing here, gringo!? You could have hurt Rosita!" He shouted like an old maid! 

However, as usual, it was just Savage with one of his silly plans again. Apparently he wanted candy. "You have to come with us or there won't be candy for you..." Bleh. Ed was never very much into candy anyway. Bunch of sugar only got an animal to feel a momentary excitement, and they would just flop over and maybe sink into a ditch or something... "OR your frogs!" "NO CANDY FOR THE FROGS ON HALLOWEEN!? ARE YOU LOCO!?" That was like skipping a major event, just cause he was busy! That would be absolutely heartbreaking for them! With that, as Savage ran, Ed ran with him towards the car... but not before grabbing a bucket with some frog food, and a bunch of frogs in it... "How many can I take... Nah, I don't want the families to think that I am a freeloader..."

Of course, Ed hadn't been told that he was apparently going to be the child in this regard... But the way Savage described it, it sure seemed like they were taking the frogs to gather candy. Even getting costumes was involved. However, when he suggested doing something chaotic, ed looked at Savage in disappointment. "Are you going to ruin the first halloween of the newest members of your crew?!" He showed the bucket, and the frogs stared at him. Not judgementally, just in confusion why the bucket was moved so much mind you. "I want them to get their candy, and not get hurt while doing it!" The theme of the drive, was slowly seemingly turning into a dysfunctional family trip... And Ed was clearly not noticing it.

Jean-Luc had been more then enjoying the rather unusual peace and quiet that had been permeating their hideout in the past few days. The controlled chaos that was always abound after a new move had faded away thankfully, allowing the Frenchman some small measure of relaxation. While Jean-Luc refused to move the furniture and belongings of everyone else, he did have the most to move in the end. The veritable horde of medical equipment he possessed was not light by any means and it usually took him well over a full day to fully furnish his room. The others, namely Savage might be fine sleeping on a torn mattress in what amounted to a concrete cube, but Jean-Luc required a certain level of sophistication. What used to be a rather large supply room was now something one might be more likely to find in an exclusive hotel. Without his Quirk it would have taken weeks to transform the dreary space into something semi-habitable by his standards, but his power was nothing if not versatile.

 He had yet to set up a number of his usual fixtures, namely the camera system stationed just above the door outside his room. It was a precaution that he had long since learned was necessary after living with Savage for nearly two decades. The man either simply couldn't or wouldn't come to terms with a rather simple concept such as personal space. Jean-Luc had planned to set up the system last night, but he had samples nearing the end of their optimal lifespan to test that he was simply to excited about to be bothered running cable to cameras. It was something he would come to regret. The first sign of a problem was the slight shaking, it started as something easily ignored but it quickly became more than noticeable. The glass of water on Jean-Luc's desk rippling in time with the distant thudding that was getting faster and closer as the seconds ticked by. As if by instinct, honed by years of stress, Jean-Luc quickly stood, pulling with him the sample he was testing with and shunting himself to the side using his Quirk.

No sooner had he done so that the large steel door to his room was violently kicked off it's significant hinges as Savage literally drop kicked it into Jean-Luc's room. The table he had only moments before been seated at was utterly crushed under the weight of the door. Jean-Luc stood and simply stared at the man he called friend, for reasons utterly unknown to himself, as he picked himself up from the floor where he had landed. Savage began yelling about treats of all things, going so far as to suggest that they would be going out in search of costumes! Jean-Luc put a tight hold on his quickly rising anger, knowing from experience that it would do no good in the end, Savage would simply laugh it off only serving to extend his fuming mood. Before he could make any form of retort, Savage had already turned about face to regard Ryung as he walked by. The response from the young Korean was par for the course so the large man turned his attention to the only other sensible choice, choosing to scare the life out of Eduardo instead.

Of course Jean-Luc knew what the day was, it was hard to escape it after all as nearly every damn store in the city was plastered with cheap decorations of bats, ghosts and all manner of spiders in their webs. He had never understood people's fascinations with Halloween and had long since hated the fake holiday. His adoptive Father had once tried to take a young Jean-Luc out for Halloween back in Paris, it had gone.....as predictably bad as one might expect. The day had long since lost it's true meaning to the annals of time, now instead simply being an excuse for stores to unload the vast surplus of sweet and candies from their warehouses at 'special' prices. Jean-Luc was about to outright deny Savage's request for his company before he truly thought on the matter. The last thing the group needed, especially after a new move and with their coming plans, was for Savage to go out on the town in his usual manner. It would draw far too much attention for his liking. Savage had already left the building by the time Ryung reemerged from the Bathroom, now apparently keen on the excursion. 

"You know how he is at times. He attempts to think 4 steps ahead but neglects to conceive of steps 1 through 3." said Jean-Luc in response to Ryung as he went about his room, quickly using his Quirk to somewhat tidy the mess made by Savage and acquire a coat from his antique cupboard. 

"And I assure you Ryung, there will be no 'dressing up' on my part. I am only coming along to ensure that Savage doesn't tear a young family in half for something as benign as giving him a candy he doesn't enjoy." he explained, vehement in his standpoint on costumes being introduced. There was no way he was going to degrade himself in such a manner. 

He left the building with Ryung in tow, Savage and Eduardo already seated in the backseat of the Mercedes GLS that Jean-Luc had acquired not too long ago. It was a far cry from the heap of trash that Savage had originally saddled the group with upon their entry to Japan. Jean-luc had taken particular pleasure in it's destruction. He made his way around and into the drivers seat and started the car, looking up and into the revision mirror. 

"I'll not be planning the day for you, you can do that yourself. I'm simply here to observe, so kindly tell me where it is you need to go and I will see us there." he said, his tone bored and with a hint of frost, lingering anger from being so rudely interrupted earlier. He had had such a nice day planned, now he had to play babysitter.
