"Okay there are three areas," Michael says. "Near the school, Shady Nook, and the park. Jessi should probably go to the place most likely to have dead stuff."
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20"I am, I believe," Michael said. "I think Jessi said the teams were her and her swarm, Lance and Linz, and you and me."
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20"Well, Jessi found the dead butterfly in the park. There's probably more dead things there. Linz and I will go to the school."
He glanced over at his companion. "I- I mean, if that's ok with you."
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway."Okay, so Vicky and I are going to Shady Nook. Out of the two remaining choices, I'd say that the park is the most likely to have dead stuff, so Jessi should go there. That leaves Lance and Linz to look near the school. Sounds alright to everyone?"
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20As everyone leaves, Jessi closes her eyes, and subtly sends an undead butterfly to follow them, Now, when I need their help, I can call them easily... The rest of her butterflies, she has fly out in all directions, with instructions of returning when they felt a ton of heat. With that done, she slowly walks over to the grassy area, and silently searches for dead ants, flies, and other small bugs, and, one at a time, reanimates them, and sends them limping off with similar instructions. With her bugs searching for big fires, she calmly finds a wasp nest, and carefully searches nearby for dead wasps. Finding a good number, she reanimates them, and has them hover around her as guards. With all her tasks complete, she returns to the sidewalk, sits down, and waits.

"So, which way do we look first?" Michael asked Vicky when they got to Shady Nook.
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20Linz shrugged. "I dunno.", she said. "Let's say I'm gonna burn the school. I'd torch the Archive: Fuck up grades, payroll, registrations...", she observed. "Or the library: Fuck their PC, PG whitelist."

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.Lance cautiously took a step away. So... You've put some thought into this...
For some reason, Linz had always made Lance a little nervous. He thought it had something to do with her "doesn't give a damn" attitude. Also, the piercings and dyed hair didn't hurt in that regard.
Lance, on the other had, had never really been one for speaking his mind. He liked to think that he was a listener, but he knew Linz was right when she had offhandedly remarked one day that he was one of the "sheeple."
He snickered inwardly. Taking down that bully last week had felt pretty good to him. A part of him was itching to try it again. A magical enemy might put up more of a fight...
"Alright then. We'll hit the library first. It'll look less suspicious."

"How about we go that way?" he says, pointing in a random direction.
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20Linz smiled. "Fair 'nuff", she said. "If we find'im, try to keep'im busy.", she said. "Then I sneak up on'im, kick the dude in the back... With Da Steel Toes!", she said. Then she smirked, giving her burgundy Doc Martens a loving slap.

The library was pretty nice, as far as high school libraries were concerned. It had just gone through heavy renovation; several high density shelves had been added. Lance personally thought it was pretty cool how you could turn the handle at the end of each row and move it to the left or right. A part of him was also surprised that no one had been smashed in between the shelves yet.
Currently, the library was empty, save for a few of the more studious students. Their noses were buried deep in their reference books and they barely stirred as Lance and Linz entered.
"So... I guess I'll check out the Non-Fiction section."
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.Jessi approached the abandoned mansion. Well I can see why people think its haunted... And indeed it was creepy, in a major way, and not that far from the school either... Wait. Maybe this is the pyro's hide out... Well, I guess there's only one way to find out... Making sure no one could see her entering, Jessi opens the front door and walks into the entrance hall. She looked around, assessing her situation. Behind her she heard the door creak shut, and something began buzzing as if an electrical charge was building up. Wait what? There shouldn't be electricity in here, its off the grid... She quickly whirls around, just quick enough to see the lightning before it hit her. All of her zombie bugs immediately when haywire for a couple seconds, fluttering around erratically.
Michael was following Vicky when he heard a slight buzz from somewhere nearby. "Hey, did you hear that?" he asked Vicky.
Since the lightning disrupted Jessi's bugs.
Call me a devil... it just means I'll have to use my hellish powers to get you to listen! F:36 S:0/20The mysterious attacker walks up to Jessi's body on the ground. "Hah! Pathetic!"
Slowly Jessi gets up, "That was wonderful."
The attacker blinks her beautiful green eyes, "What?"
Go now, my children, go to my friends, and bring them to me. Jessi smiles wickedly, "Hit me again. I want to feel the shock!"
The attacker smiles, "You have no idea what I can do..." She jabs her pale white hand into Jessi's stomach, and she sends a shock into Jessi.
The zombie bugs stop what they were doing previously, and begin to make their way towards the two groups. The butterflies with the groups flutter in front of the faces of Vicky and Lance respectively. After a moment, the bugs go haywire again.

Lance was far less stealthy than Linz in his pursuit for the firebug. He wandered up and down the stacks, searching for anyone who looked ready to set a fire, all the while one of Jessi's "Special" Butterflies fluttered nearby.
Suddenly, as he turned a corner, the butterfly landed directly on his face. "Hey! Get off!" Lance gently waved the butterfly away, only to have it land on his nose again. "C'mon!" he whispered. "Get off." He plucked the insect by a wing and pulled it off his nose. He watched as it fluttered frantically. "What's gotten into you?"
It suddenly dawned on him.
"Linz!" he shouted. "It's Jessi! We gotta go!" He rushed out of the library, completely ignoring the irritated shushes being directed at him.

Lance gulped. Think happy thoughts...
"So, who's going where?"
