The other Horsemen had their jobs while they had arrived at the Jean Grey School. It was fortunate enough for the young man that the chaos meant he could slip off easily enough on his own minor mission. Well, it would be 'minor' to any of his associates but frankly it seemed almost all-important to the youth at the moment. Adam, he wasn't yet comfortable enough with the appellation of 'Death' to think of himself with the title yet, had slipped off quietly, figuring it would be generally understood that he was going to return quickly enough while the rest of the group went about their tasks.

"I always wanted to try this..." He found himself grinning while placing a hand on one of the outside walls before drawing back slightly until only his fingertips were still pressing to the wall and curling even those up into a fist. His next movement was all at once, pushing forward with his hips and 'punching' the wall at the short distance until his hand went through, sinking in up to the elbow much to his own consternation. "...I kind of hoped the whole thing would go down." Adam sighed as he continued pushing forward.

All in all, it had taken a little more work than the former hero had expected to need, but eventually there was an Adam-sized hole in the wall as he dusted debris off of himself in the hallway, looking around. Really, it was only to be expected, he'd chosen a random entry-point to a building he was only familiar with through a handful of visits... to find a person he wasn't even certain of the location of.

"I could have planned this out better." He admitted, listening to the chaos around himself with a smile. And so, he simply chose a knot of students that were going in one direction... and started calmly walking against the current. If they noticed his efforts, none of them made any comment on it.

"Mari!" He shouted, trying to think of something clever to add to the end of it. "...I've come to pick you up from school!"

...Unfortunately, clever was not Adam Sato's strongest suit.

i can show you magic, madness, heaven, sin

Mari didn't know what was going on, all she knew was that there was a lot of people panicking outside her room and she was almost a thousand percent sure that she had nothing to do with it. She'd heard some pretty bad noises, too, like walls being broken down, but she'd hardly been paying much attention to it. No, she'd been too caught up in her own world of music and art to really care. She just had some finishing touches to put on her latest sketch, too. Lightly biting her tongue, she tried to finish up some of the shading. Unfortunately, the sound of her music cutting off for the less favorable sound of Edward's text tone made her groan. "Why haven't I killed you yet," she muttered to herself as she read the text. Huh, so there really was something bad going on. With another sigh, she set her pencil aside and twisted on the bed so she could sit up nice and proper. Alright, Ed, I'll be there in a few. She sent the text to her cousin before hiding her books and heading out of her room.

The contrast between how 'peaceful' her room was and the pure mayhem going on outside of it brought a twisted little smile to her lips. Students were running, some screaming, some seemingly crying, while others were just trying to help. It was like music to her ears and she didn't even have a hand in it! What a shame, such travesty. It practically had the lupine purring. She walked with a bit too much calmness, trying to put together an act in her head. She knew the second she reached the staircase, she was going to have to put her panicked and worried face up but she thought she had a moment. No one seemed to notice how calm she was around them, and if they did, they were too focused on their own panic to really seem to care. A soft hum resonated off of her lips, filling the air around her with a song far too soothing to belong around the rest of the terrified body. It was a shame it had to be so short lived as she found her way to the stairs.

Once she reached the first floor, her posture seemed to change, mimicking that of some of the students around her, though a small bit more confidence to her as though she might want to help. She needed to get to Ed first but as she was trying to find him, a voice breaking through the crowd made her freeze. For just a second, genuine worry did manage to filter it's way through. "Adam?!" she called in response. She didn't care much for the rest of the student body but he wasn't supposed to be here. What was he doing here?! Probably Gabby, the little bird seemed to be one of the few reasons he was ever here. Although the way he spoke, he didn't seem as worried as everyone else. That actually caught her off guard a little. Rather rudely, she pushed students out of her way until she could see Adam. He didn't look hurt at least. Stupidly, she continued to feign her worry, though was it completely an act? Not even she was entirely sure, not as she wrapped her arms around him to hug him tight for a moment. "What are you doing here? There's something going on, it's not safe, koibito!" It was weird to think she actually cared. Probably just apart of her act though. She liked to trick herself into thinking it was at least.
