The president gave Ciara attention first
"Well, unfortunately if I don't have any names to work with, then I can't very well help them can I? If you could tell me who they were, I'd be more than happy to relieve them of their position so they may get some much needed rest"
But Miguel's comment finally got a small reaction of her. A quick furrowing of the brows, which changed this normally kind and composed girl into something threatening. But with a quick shake of her head, she returned to her original state.
"Kenshi Takashi? How unfortunate. I had such high hopes for him, but it would seem he's simply just as . . . feeble . . . as many of my other council members. Well, I guess I'll just remove him if he's struggling so hard. Frankly, I don't have much time for those that can't keep up. Oh, and I won't be bothering to replace him. I don't really require council members, it's more of an obligation from the school that I must keep a certain number of students in the club. I'd much prefer to run this all by myself that bother with . . . with people who can't . . . "
With that, you all start to hear a high pitched distorting ringing throughout the halls. The walls start flickering between their normal state, and static, similar to what you had experienced in the amusement park. Miguel will feel Sparrow grasp the back of his shirt with one hand, and noticeably grasp something in the boy's pockets, likely the knife he's known to carry around all the time. Easter's lighthearted demeanor has gotten fairly serious all of a sudden, and Varuna remains unfazed, as she can't perceive anything that's happening.
The council president gets an alert on her phone. It seems she has a very familiar app alerting her to something. A big red Jack Frost is laughing across the screen as she pulls the phone to view.
"Apologies. It seems something has gotten my attention. We'll need to save this discussion for another time"
The council president walks back into the office and locks the door behind her.

"Hey Varuna, I think I need to catch up with my friends here, we could be a while. Mind if we hang some more later?" Suzume says, quite aware that it's about to go down, and she needs her away from the mess to talk or act properly.

Jericha notices the app going off, and tries to make a grab for the president. She then shoulder checks the door, and pounds on it a few times. "Dammit! Great...Here we go again."

A reaction. Bingo. While he was expecting a reaction out of her, he certainly wasn't expecting to see the app with the girl and for a distortion to be that blatant and abrupt, just like it was in the amusement park. He also wasn't expecting Jericha to blatantly charge after the girl in front of a witness and maybe security cameras -he wasn't quite sure if there were any here- and he nearly palmed his face at the sight.
Way to be obvious, Jericha.
"I'm pretty sure we will be able to talk to her again later soon. Right now I think we have other matters to discuss." He offered a polite smile to Varuna. "I hope you don't mind Miss... Varuna, yes? But they are rather private matters and I'm sure that Miss Ciara and Miss Jericha would be more comfortable if we conducted this discussion in private. I'm sure that Miss Suzume will catch you up on some gossip later, I believe?"

Varuna was about to protest against suzume's request, but suddenly dropped that composure as her cheeks flushed from being talked to by such an aggressively attractive man who may or may not look like a favored yaoi character of hers. With a few nods she heads off.
Sparrow and Easter were quick to get to their respective phones
"Something's odd here. Mythos readings were jumping, but somehow they're going down, and suddenly rising up again. They're fluctuating like crazy."
"It seems like we should head into Mythos. That girl clearly had the app on her phone, she must be in there"
"Agreed. Anyone need to do anything before we go in?"

Suzume pulls her cornet out, glad she decided on that whole always keeping it with her thing. "That app looked slightly different though... Anyway I'm good, lets deal with this before the distortions grow too much and mess with anyone in the school." Suzume whips out her phone and gets ready to boot the app, sure to keep an eye out on the colour of her Jack Frost.

The whole interaction had left a rather bitter taste in Ciara's mouth. She nodded, pulling out her own phone.
"I daresay it's already affected far too many"

Jericha whips out her phone to open up the app. "Alright then. Time to get to work."

Miguel pulled out his phone as well. "Normally I'd say I need to get out of this suit, but going in takes care of that so I believe we're all good to go."

With everyone ready to go, you all transport to the world of Mythos. The world, like before, emanates the world you were in just previously staying, but with a flair of horror. Decaying walls leave a stench of rotted flesh, rusted lockers creek as their doors swing side to side, and the overwhelming silence leaves an ominous echo as air travels through the walls. Sparrow takes out his phone to measure the amount of creatures in the area "This is so weird. There's an abundance of monsters in the area, but they keep disappearing, but then new ones just keep showing up all over the place. What the hell's goin-"Suddenly, a large tentacle made of some toxic black sludge smashes out of a locker nearby, wraps itself around Sparrow, and drags him into the locker, slamming the door on its way out. You may want to try and follow him in there, but before you have time to react, other lockers let out similar tentacles, and it seems they are aiming at you.

Ciara pulled out one of the cleanse tags she often carried with her (Mythos had proven her interest for the occult was quite useful from time to time), hoping the tentacle would be warded away by the protective talisman!

Jericha and Ciara were able to make a clean dive away from the tentacles, along with Easter, who created a barrier to defend herself, but Miguel and Suzume found themselves falling victim to a pair of the devious mush monsters. Miguel in particular thought he'd be clever and teleport away from one of them, only to re-animate right in the clutches of another. The two find themselves dragged off to a classroom riddled with blood, broken furniture, and a harrowing sound ringing through the room. Sparrow is on the ground at the center, trying to fight off the grasp of the tentacle gripping him around his waist.

Miguel by and far preferred the castle in the amusement part to this almost literal dumpster fire of an alternate school. At least he was not wearing the suit he was in the real world or this would be awkward as all hell considering that suit was restrictive even with an English cut.
However, before he could make a comment about the place or the situation or even the smell, tentacles started appearing. One of them took Sparrow while the others reached out for them. In his alarm, he suddenly vanished right before the tentacle grabbed him....
...except he got grabbed by another tentacle and then dragged in. Well, fuck.
Upon being dragged into the horror show classroom, he tried to port out once more. This time he made sure to look before he 'ported and made sure to stay in a clear place. If that failed though, he was going to worm his way out with the tried-and-true escape methods he'd learned back at the circus.
He just didn't think he'd be using it on tentacles.

Suzume wriggles in the tentacles grasp, trying to get free enough to summon her Persona. "Agh, Rakshasi, cut through these things" She yells, whether or not she is successful in summoning it. Her yell taking on some of the magical aspects of this realm and creating an Uproar.

Miguel was able to make his way out of the grip of his tentacle, which seemed to retreat out of confusion
Suzume's outbursts and slashes do a lot of damage to the tentacle. It skitters away with a small whimper.

"Rakshasi, get Sparrow free too. Ugh that was nasty. Where are we?" Suzume said, looking around, confident that Rakshasi and Sparrow could handle the tentacle alone.

"What students think of school, probably." Miguel deadpanned as he released Arsene, his Haunter. "Hey Arsene, do any of yours frequent this kinda place? It looks like a good hangout for your kind, no stereotypes meant." He quipped, asking his floating ghost pokemon as he looked warily at the tentacles, preparing to dodge.

Ciara breathed hard, thankful that her gambit with the cleansing tag had worked but now really worried about her companions.
She turned to Jericha and Easter. The others had just vanished! As she started thinking on what to do, she felt the soothing pull of Banshee's voice telling her to follow a bit. And suddenly she knew.
"Banshee! Help me locate Miguel, Suzume and Sparrow!" she said, this time allowing her Persona to drive the visions that her particular brand of Persona power seemed to grant her.
[Using Augury!]

"Persona!" Jericha, and her Gallade Palladion, rush forward to wipe out any remaining tentacles. Jericha squashes them against the walls with her shield, and Palladion cuts through them with little resistance. She then turns to the others. "Well this is going great right outa the gate, huh?"

Sparrow and Rakshashi are able to make short work of the tentacle. Hooray! Arsene looks about the place trying to familiarize himself with his surroundings.
"Hardly the worst place I've ever seen, but still, it has a certain allure that's appealing. There's definitely other creatures here. I can smell them. But they're scared for some reason. Hmm . . . maybe they realized a superior creature such as I is in their presence~?"
Through Ciara's Augury, she can see a vision of her companions locked in a classroom about two floors above where she currently is. Class 3-A. Luckily for Ciara, since this is still modeled around her school, she can easily figure out a quick path to the classroom.
