While those who were awake were off doing their thing, something slipped through the wall in the kitchen, leaving a green slimey spot on the wall where it phased through. The thing hovered in the darkness until it saw the fridge, and went to it.
Opening the refridgerator, the creature licked it's lips with a huge tounge, and made some undefinable sounds as it picked up various items from the fridge with it's long, skinny green arms.
The creature then began eating all the food, and while it tried to remain quiet, it ended up making a fair amount of noise. Not that the creature could help it. It was hungry, and hadn't had a decent meal since it arrived on this island after it was separated from his friends.

Magus frowned a bit as he looked towards the house Madotsuki indicated. She was right, the lights were on. He glanced towards the door with the hole. No sign indicated it was a hotel. He shook his head, "We shou-"
However, he'd just picked up on something. He was going to suggest they look for an inn, as the hut didn't seem to be one. But that... it was muted. Damn muted. But... he narrowed his eyes. He remembered the gerbil girl and the talk of doppelgangers. He had no doubt they couldn't duplicate the energy. But if that was the case, he wanted to kill those that would try. All of these thoughts took about ten seconds. He turned back to Madotsuki.
"All right, we can try there. Give me a moment, however," he said, as he began to chant. He was casting Magic Wall. If they could duplicate even some of her power, he had to be prepared to be blasted by a magic attack the second he stepped through the doorway.
It was all probably very confusing to Madotsuki, especially if she couldn't pick up on the muted aura "Fujin" was giving off, even in her sleep. However, his actions did cause his magical energy to flair up...
-----
Fujin's eyes fluttered awake and she yawned. She looked around quickly, as the energy she felt wasn't fading with her dream. She glanced over at Kosumu. It wasn't him. It felt wrong, and he was fast asleep. She stood up, letting the blanket fall off her as she did so. She glanced outside. No one there...
She wasn't sure what to do, so she walked slowly to the door, trying to remain quiet as to not disturb Kosumu. She carefully pushed it open. Maybe it was coming from the living room. If anyone was there, they'd see the door slowly pushing open as Fujin stuck her head out of it.
(OOC: I'm not posting the exact words he is chanting as no one is close enough to interrupt him, but he is casting Magic Wall.)

the creature in the kitchen continued eating, the food being too good for him to keep quiet for much longer as he began gobbling it down like mad, making an ungodly amount of noise.
This ended up waking everyone up, as expected.
Clown Man said quietly "There's someone in the kitchen."
A soft beeping is hear din Nutcase's pocket. Nutcaswe reached in and pulled out a device with little wig-like rods tht were sticking straight up. It was a Psychokenetc Energy Meter, or PKE Meter for short. Nutcase then said, "Not someone. SomeTHING is in the kitchen."

Madotsuki looked up at Magus before walking over to the door, and knocking. She didn't seem to want to bother with letting him go first.
------------------
Beatrice looked up at Climber's arrival. She looked somewhat different at the moment, considering she didn't have her hair up at all, and she was sitting around in nothing but a tank top and shorts, very much different from her usual clothing. "Hey cloth-guy. I couldn't sleep, so I've been making this stuff." She motioned to a few bundles of clothing on the ground. "Speaking of which..."
She tossed a bundle of clothing at him. "Merry christmas. That should cover you for a couple years."
The clothes she had just tossed at him were an aviator's jacket and matching pants, which she had made using left over cloth from when she was making her latest outfit.
She ended up being distracted by the sound of something moving around in the kitchen. "What the hell?"
-----------------
Taffy had been having wonderful dreams about destroying his hometown again when he was suddenly awakened. "Huh? Who? What?"

Without a word, Nutcase puts on his Proton Pack and quietly slips into the kitchen. The sounds of something ravaging the room was heard very clearly. He hits the lights, and yells "FREEZE!!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Screamed a green ghost with yellow eyes, gaping mouth and skinny arms.
"What the-SLIMER!?!" Yelled Clown Man in suprise.
Nutcase looked at the ghost and said, "It is! It's ok guys, no problem! This ghost is harmless!"

Metal turned his head to look to the kitchen; 'ghost?'
However he heard a knock at the door... Tilting his head curiously, Metal walked up to the door and reached for the door knob. "Who is it?" He called.
----------------
Climber took the Aviator jacket and pants set, looking at them curiously. "You've made these for me?" He smiled a little. "Ferris Wheel! Thanks Miss Beatrice!" He looked at the clothes, possibly trying to figure out a good way to put them on since he had only wore his mountain climber apparel before...
He heard Nutcase's anouncement in the kitchen before he could. "Ghost?"

Fujin was greeted with the chaos of people freaking out about something, and blinked as Nutcase ran past with something rather clunky looking on his back. She winced as she heard the scream and glanced quickly back at Kosumu. She smiled softly seeing that the boy was still asleep. She stepped out of the room and gently closed the door behind her.
Ghost? She'd heard that word. Perhaps that was the cause of the strange aura she was feeling. However, her eyes wandered to where Metal's hands were reaching for the door, and realized whatever she was sensing was coming from outside. She opened her mouth to say something, but something held her back. That energy... seemed familiar...
She remained quiet, however, and it was possible Metal didn't know she was there. She waited for him to open the door.
-----
Magus finished casting his spell and looked over to see Madotsuki had knocked. If there was something dangerous mimicking his sister in that building... he ran forward, almost appearing to glide over the ground and grabbed Madotsuki, roughly pulling her away from the door.
"We don't know what's in there!" he shouted. Metal likely heard the voice. It was slightly smooth, a bit dark, and sounded like an adult male. Magus knew he might have scared the young girl, and he would apologize later if it came to that. But he didn't want her getting hurt. He didn't want to be responsible for her getting harmed by anything inside.

Everyone, minus Kosumo, gathered in the kitchen, seeing the smal green ghost cowering in the corner by the wastebasket.
"Wow, we realy scared him bad..." Clown Man said in a remorseful tone.
Nutcase then said, "Slimer, settle down! It's us! Remember me, man?"
Slimer cautiously looked up, and saw Nutcase. His fear went away immediately and he flew at Nutcase at top speed and knocked him down with a huge hug, as well as covering the loon in a thick coating of ectoplasm.
"Ok Slimer, cut it out!" Nutcase said as he shoved the ghost away. He then turned to the others and said, "Guys, this ghost is Slimer. As if you couldn't tell by the slime...Anyway, he's a friend of the Ghostbusters; the people I got the equipment I had tried to save Gantz with before."
Clown Man then said, "While it's the job of the Ghostbsters to catch ghosts, Slimer turned out to be harmless and they kept him around as a sort of pet. Slimer's also helped the gang out on occasion so he's a ghostbuster himself."
Turning to the ghost, Nutcase asked, "But what are you doing here?"
After a bit of otherwise indecipherable babbling, Slimer said "Friends gone...mean bugs take home..."
"Should've known..." Nutcase said, remembering what had bought him and virtually everyone else to this island.

Beatrice had gathered in the kitchen as well, but she ended up groaning when she saw Slimer. "I don't have time to deal with bad Ghostbusters characters."
"Oh, you've never seen the movie anyways," Taffy said. "Don't judge him."
"I don't need to watch Ghostbusters when I have kung-fu flicks."
"Fine, whatev. I'm goin' back to bed," Taffy said, heading back upstairs. Beatrice sighed and sat down before hearing someone at the door.
"Ugh, seriously? It's like... 3 in the morning..." she complained. "Hey, who is it, Metal?"
----------------
Madotsuki didn't answer Magus, but instead kept knocking, keeping one hand behind her back. If Magus looked, he would see that she'd materialized her knife, just in case whatever inside was dangerous.

Metal had heard the yell from outside, and started to get cautious... Something seemed off here...
Finally, he took the door in hand and opened it...
His machine gun whipped out, but not pointed at the two beyond the door, just in case. At first, Metal was surprised to see the man of the group... He looked somewhat familiar; but not the kind where you've seen a person before, but rather the kind where you've seen someone that resembles the person you're seeing now. The girl seemed a bit eccentric, but hey, he'd seen far worse.
Finally, he spoke, "Hello? May I ask you why you're knocking at our door tonight?" Shortly upon saying this, he turned his head inside and shouted. "Don't worry Beatrice, doesn't look like anyone we should worry about!"
"Oh hello!" Climber appeared at the door at that moment... Now wearing the aviator jacket and pants set Beatrice had knitted for him; though his trusty mountain climber helmet remained on his head. He smiled kindly. "How can we help you?"

Magus jerked his head up, his hand tightening on his scythe when he saw Metal's weapon. The only fully sentient robot he had ever known had gone by the name Robo. However, there was a level of personality in this machine's "voice" that indicated it was acting on more than protocol. Madotsuki had summoned her knife, but he didn't want the girl to fight unless she had to. So his posture had become defensive, and it seemed almost like he was protecting the girl.
"Metal, may I ask who it is?"
Magus' eyes widened, and it almost seemed like his brain had broken. Because he just stood there. He knew that voice. After all this time, had he...?
Fujin stepped behind Metal and Magus lost any indication of aggresion he had carried. He didn't break his gaze, but seemed to be trying to find words. Fujin looked over to him, and he suddenly looked pained. Those weren't the eyes of recognition.
"Oh, hello. It seems a late time of night to be wandering. Perhaps you are lost?"
Why does his presence seem familiar...?
Of course, since Magus could see her it meant Madotsuki could as well. If Metal possessed enough situational awareness, he'd probably be aware of several things, the largest being around Magus. His eyes looked flooded with pain, but he seemed to know Fujin. He seemed to realize how easily he could be read, and turned away.
The brown haired girl was likely tense around the woman with a high-set ponytail. But it would be a different kind of tense than the man was expressing. After all... a ponytail, a beautiful presence... suppressed power...

It was then Slimer chose to push past Metal and Fujin and blurted out "HEWWO!!!" To the people at the door. Slimer enjoyed meeting new people, though he often forgot that he was a ghost and his advances would be taken as a hostile action.

Madotsuki's eyes went wide, and she started backing away from Fujin. She clutched her knife very close to her, but it didn't look like she was going to attack Fujin at all.
Memories of the last time she'd seen a woman like this flooded her mind. That high-set ponytail. The feeling of there being more to this person than you think... the hidden power too. She hid behind Magus, shiverring with fear.
Beatrice looked out from the door. "Hey, what's wrong with the kid? Come on, we won't bite. Well, maybe Taffy will, but don't worry, he's got all his shots."
"I CAN HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW."
"...Poni... Poniko..." Madotsuki mumbled. "...not Poniko..."

"Fujin."
Metal clearly had the girl's attention at this point as she looked to him. "Why not go upstairs and check on Kosumu?" He pointed his thumb to the floor above them. "You know, see if all of this has woke him up yet or not."
Climber raised an eyebrow at this action. "Why should she Metal? It doesn't look like anything's going on down here..." Please keep in mind that Climber, even though he has gotten a tad bit smarter, still only has a ball of fluff for a brain, so he really didn't understand what was going on.
"Because she cares for him. That's why. Might as well go see if he is." Metal answered quickly, keeping his voice straight... Though one could tell there was urgency in his voice.
Being the smartest member of the gang, and I mean the smartest being a robot, he had picked up on the small hints that had came.
The man knew Fujin, Fujin didn't know him. Did this link to her missing memories? He didn't know, but there was no need to get her hopes up if this was a false lead.
"Go on." The robot insisted motioning for the girl to go on.

A lot of things happened at once. Magus sensed the presence as Slimer pushed his way past Fujin and Metal. He had taken an aggressive stance, holding up his scythe and seeming quite intimidating. However, Madotsuki's whispered words, full of fear, brought him back down to reality. He kept his gaze on Slimer, almost daring the spirit to try and attack, as he spoke to Madotsuki. His voice was softer when addressing her, and it was clear that there was at least some level of care.
"Her name isn't Poniko, and she won't hurt you,"
Fujin was still recovering from the new arrival when Metal spoke her name. She had missed Magus' look of recognition and even his comments. She nodded and had turned to go upstairs when Climber challenged Metal's comments. She paused and looked back. Did they know something about this man she didn't? It was true he had quite the aura around him, but it seemed so familiar. She shook her head and advanced forward to check on Kosumu as Metal had suggested, looking a bit depressed as she did so.
Magus turned his full focus back to the situation in front of him, but was still standing protectively in front of Madotsuki. He focused on Metal, who was obviously worried about him and trying to protect the girl. It had called her Fujin, which gave evidence to one of two things: She wasn't Schala, or she didn't have her memories.
He spoke with a dangerous tone to his voice, trying to make it clear that the wrong answer would cause problems, "How do you know her?"
He was trying to mask the flood of painful emotions with the almost angry tone of voice. It carried a level of darkness to it, however. A lot of things were happening at once. He'd try to calm Madotsuki down later, but for now he had to be sure. It looked like Schala, but her energy was terribly muted. Was it possible she was blocking herself?
