"I'm...I'm Charlie Brewster and these are my..."
Pausing there for a moment, Charlie overlooked those gathered in the room around him. He wasn't exactly sure he'd write them all off as being friends. Least of all the gigantic undead brute in the hockey mask who nearly throttled him. Or the creature who apparently ate dead people's eyeballs. But hey the guy with the eyepatch seemed pretty cool and so that was something. Not to mention he had Angel by his side.
"Acquaintances. We're here to save the world...?"
@Kaykay @Hana @Takumi
There was no visible reaction from the stranger in the room. It wasn't clear whether she believed Charlie, found him insane, or planned to attack. Not a move was made by her, to the point it was unnatural, as if she were a doll of some sort. She didn't even twitch or turn her head, as if nothing Charlie had said had even registered.
Even as Imp and the others burst into the room, she didn't even take a step.
"Tay- Skitter?"
That got a reaction from the girl, something seeming to be a sigh coming from her and the insect collective filling the room. It was strange, like a cacophony of bugs trying to perform a human sigh. Sounded more like a swarm of locusts than anything remotely human, though.
"Have you been free this entire time?"
"Ehe, maybe?" Imp stuck her tongue out childishly, as if she were trying to evade punishment or something. With what seemed to be a disapproving shake of the head, the one Imp had addressed as Skitter turned around.
"Come on. Let's get you out of here. Now."
Imp just grumbled incoherently as she took to Skitter's backside.
Then suddenly, while Tarman wouldn't be able to bite through Jacket's cuffs, suddenly a swarm of mosquitoes flooded into the room, carrying remaining circular saws that had been dropped by Bonesaw's mechanical spiders. As Skitter and Imp began to walk out the door Skitter had appeared from, the mosquitoes, with frightening coordination and accuracy, would saw through the cuffs of anyone who still had them on.
The corpse of the black-haired girl who was now missing an eye fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, her head smashing against the floor, apparently having decayed quite a bit. Yet strangely, despite the blood, there was a surprising lack of gray matter in the mess that had been created on the floor.

Elle simply spent time analyzing the link, memorizing it. So that if she sensed it again, she'd know it and be that much faster to respond. It was the first time she'd done this so Eleven was learning from how Bonesaw controlled them, so that she could be faster to disrupt such connections in the future.
As Bonesaw was getting away, Elle was probing at and trying to gain information from her mind. Anything that could give her a clue as to where Bonesaw was going or what she was planning.
@Kaykay @Chewy Rabbits @ whomever
Elle wouldn't have much trouble memorizing the specific wavelengths Bonesaw had used during their fight. But as she attempted to probe Bonesaw's mind, she would receive only one message.
"Bad, bad girl~"
But soon, Elle would be able to recognize a mental link. Though it was on a different wavelength than the ones she'd used earlier, it was familiar enough that the psychic girl would be able to notice it. Strangely, however, it wasn't a one-way communication like the previous ones that commanded her spiders.
As they left the room the girl and Pamela had been held captive in, they'd end up in a third, much larger room. It was like the main room of a mansion, with all sorts of different doors and hallways to go into, each with a vastly different look.
One door truly looked like it'd belong in a mansion. Heavy and laden with jewels, it truly didn't seem to belong when compared with the cheap, wooden, bloody door right beside it, or the door made of flesh that they group had just walked out from.
Amongst all those doors, though, was one that the group would probably quite like to take. A door all on its own at the other end of the room, one that was quite likely the exit. And given how Skitter was walking towards it, it didn't seem to be a trick either. Nothing like the obvious door leading to somewhere worse, or teleporting you away.
But suddenly, a red blur sped past the group, appearing in Skitter's way. And appearing with that blur was the mental link that Elle would have recognized earlier. But unlike the spiders, brain waves emitted from the figure before them as well.
As the blur came to a stop, just about everyone would be able to recognize it. After all, it resembled someone they'd seen recently all too well. A red cape, short black hair.
It was a perfect resemblance of the girl Pamela had said was Ruby Rose.
"...Move." Skitter carried her voice once again using her insects, the swarm of roaches, flies, hornets, mosquitoes, and god knew what else buzzing in intonations that created English words.
"F-forgive me...forgive me..."
Tears stained Ruby's eyes as her figure suddenly turned into a blur once more before running right past Skitter. Then as if she were hit by a car, the costumed girl's head whipped around, sending her spinning into the air before crashing down.
"Skitter!" Imp cried out, gritting her teeth before suddenly disappearing from everyone's sight and memories.
It seemed that for whatever reason, whoever this girl who resembled Ruby was didn't plan to let them pass.
