As he savored the sweetness of the candy, he nodded (a few times) at Lachlan's words. "Kyle and Valerie will definitely dominate this challenge, I feel it." At least, he hoped they would. They'd probably throw them in some jungle somewhere just to be funny since they froze the competitors in the previous challenge.

Jesús made himself more comfortable and glanced over at the screens. He was nervous; it was strange being on the other side of things, but he supposed it was way better than actually going through the challenge. The Thunderbird really didn't know how much more anxiety and panic attacks he could take. "Yeah," he drawled, watching the screens almost lazily, "a party seems like the best course of action. Something big and loud."

Lachlan, still afflicted with his false euphoria, giggled at Jesús before accepting the sweet. "Please." Nothing more was said in the moment, as the southerner clumsily peeled open the candy wrapper. Depth perception was important to motor functions, and his were decidedly warped at the moment. Eventually, however, the piece of caramel found it's way into his mouth. There was a moment of simple enjoyment as he sucked on the candy and glanced around at the rest of the viewing area. Colors were especially bright today, weren't they? Perhaps that's what drew his attention back to Irene Avery. Her cheeks were a vivid shade of red, and he smirked in her direction, the audacity tiptoeing the line between gentlemanly and appalling. No harm meant, of course. She was simply a cute girl, who was blushing in an adorable way. And Lachlan approved of it.

"Valerie won't like that." His attention was pulled back to Jesús, as he laced his fingers together, resting them on top of his stomach. "I predict she'll want a more private setting. Kyle, too." These tasks took their toll. The First one had on him during and immediately after, and the following two hadn't been any kinder to those still in the game. "We'll see what they want to do." He nodded, eyes flicking up towards the one screen that was suddenly filled with the image of the girl they'd just been speaking of. Even chemically altered, Lach found himself...nervous. For her and Kyle. They both had this sorted, there was little doubt in his mind, and would do what was necessary, but at what cost? She'd not come out of the last one quite the same. What would this one take?

Shifting his attention between the different screens, the Wampus found himself laughing as each of those competing progressed. Laughing hilariously, to be frank. Runes. Why couldn't this task have been first? Runes were his strongest subject. Not that he envied anyone currently participating. Newly interested, Lachlan found himself sitting up a bit straighter. "Come on, Val."....Her frustration was evident, but he knew she wouldn't give up. Valerie Gray was every bit a warrior. And Kyle...was artfully layering charms on himself and the surrounding area. Lach clenched his hand into a fist, gnawing at his thumb nail.....What?

He jumped, thanks to Dana's screechy commentating and actually seeing a physical three-headed snake appearing on the different screens. "Oh, look. It's my patronus!" It was said in an excited sort of whisper, but then he froze; his pupils dilating further. No, a living, breathing runespoor was not great...His leg jumping from the stress of the moment, Lach nervously looked to Jesús. In theory, runespoors were the embodiment of the writer, but this was not a theoretical classroom discussion and that creature was huge. His paranoia was accelerated and could not be alleviated....but within the span of a several heart-stopping moments, both his schoolmates had somehow found themselves on the other side of the large beast; standing before government officials. And since his plan had backfired spectacularly, Lachlan was a few degrees below a nervous wreck.....

...."Jesús.......Valerie." The gentle Mississippi boy was already out of his seat, though, racing down towards his housemate, whom he reached within a matter of moments. He didn't quite grab her in time, but...he was there, crumbling to the ground in order to cushion her fall. "Talk to me."
