Welcome to Gaia! ::

TEAM ARPK

She was being dragged along to who-knows-where.. but then Lizzy stopped, suddenly, and Vieve had to grab on to her arm in order to keep her balance.

What was with this girl, seriously? Had she had coffee or something, before arriving? Or perhaps even a whole jar of sugar?

Looking up, Vieve noticed another girl, dressed in the same theme as they were- and Lizzy was introducing her. She.. probably knew everyone. The new girl, too, was taller than her, but despite her appearance, seemed friendly enough, though she spoke formally.

"Greetings, Lattice." the salamander mimicked. "The honour is mine." She refrained from holding out a hand- those needles did look painful.. Either way, with the third member of the group here, they seemed to be just missing one more. Funny- Edel had been more than punctual the last time they'd met up. Vieve hadn't expected her to be late this time..

Speak of the demon. The last team member showed up, and Vieve nodded to her by way of greeting, adding a half-hearted "Hi." seconds later, as if it were an afterthought.

Team ARPK

Vieve's half-hearted response (but response nonetheless) must have snapped Edel's attention back to the three other ghouls. Her manners seemed to have found a way back to her too.

Turning to Vieve, Edel figured that it would have sounded stupid for her to greet the all but familiar ghoul again (even though she would mean it this time). Instead, she settled for a rather lame-sounding “I hope you enjoyed the lunch and shopping.” The frost demon may of may not have felt a little pang or heart pain as she started to recall.....how much she had spent.....

“Lizzy! It's nice to meet you again.”
Edel had previously met Lizzy at the floresctival, her campaign booth to be exact. The frost demon recalled how she had never made it back as promised.....

And now she was feeling guilt.

“-And you must be Lattice?” turning to the dark haired ghoul and offering out her hand. “My name's Edel, it's a pleasure to meet you.”

Too bad she hadn't been there for Lizzy's sage advice.

TEAM SKULLKER

Although Jove looked ready enough for the trip, he shared many of the same misgivings as the other students. His bag held only a single change of clothing, an extra sweater and scarf, and a small baggie crammed with band-aids and gauze rolls. The first aid 'kit' was not for him, he had packed that much away in a rush of fear for his team mates. The pup didn't know if Tybalt bled, but he was certainly concerned about his living friends.

When he passed through the portal, the first thing he did was sneeze. This air... It gave him a sense of frightening familiarity, the sort of dread worming it's way into his belly like a vicious parasite. He had no real memory of the human world, but like a quickly forgotten nightmare, the fear it left behind stuck with him.

Jove peered through the crowd to find the rest of his group, his ears down, tail firmly pressed between his legs, and trotted over when he caught a glimpse of teal above the heads of others. Gabrian was already there... And as he approached he felt relieved to see Ren and Tybalt had also gathered. He was so thankful to have finally found company that he didn't even notice the tense air between the gryphon and the other ghost. Since he looked up to both of them, he didn't often realize how much at odds the pair were.

The little wisp greeted all three of them, in a sense. He gave Gabrian a little tail wag, accidentally sneezed on Tybalt's sweater, and headbutted Ren.

Team Ninjar

Junko listened carefully to Red's answer, humming thoughtfully and looking to each of the present team members. She would definitely watch out for Seiji, and Aurian, and Mai and Vaith! They were a team even if she has only just met Mai and Aurian recently and Vaith briefly during the prom committee meeting. Junko wasn't going to just let someone fall without trying to catch them, but it was nice to know what would happen to the pills should something out of their control happen. The squeeze to her hand had her looking up at Seiji, tilting her head to one side. Huh? What was that for? She smiled anyway and returned the squeeze, looking from Seiji to Aurian and Vaith. What an adorable familiar! Adorable to her, anyway. Could she pet it too? Bit speaking of adorable, she heard familiar voices. Lizzy? Xiu? Junko's already glowing eyes lit with excitement as she turned to spot them. "Lizzyyyyy!" Junko called out excitedly when she spotted the ghoul. She looked so good! "Xiuuuuu!" She raised an arm to wave to them, as if calling out their names were not enough of a tip off that Junko had spotted two of their friends. Ohhhh! They looked so good! Seeing everyone in their different uniforms was certainly interesting! She'd been half expecting to be the only group that did it! Some of them were certainly interesting! Was Christof wearing a dog on his head...? And Mot was...Mot was bring strange. What was this madness?

Seiji's suggestion about the pills caught her by surprise. Junko looked up at him with wide eyes before turning them down to the pumpkin pills in her hand. Was he sure? "Alright...but if either of you need one don't hesitate to let us know, okay?" Junko would share! She refused to let the boils just 'give up' their chances to use the pumpkin pills. Junko held out a hand to accept one of the pills. But Mai still wasn't here. Aurian didn't seem too worried, and she even gave a reason why she might have been late. Really? Well...okay. She frowned a little. "I'll hold onto her pill until she gets here then."

"Can i interest you into eating a certain Tatzel? I hear her kind is delicious with barbeque sauce." Demi asked innocently after sliding up to Cady. Innocently of course. Bu he wholehearted nodded at Bul's mention of the cloaked figures from the last trip. "Yeah Bul those things aren't fun." Damien included to the chatter of things to look out for. having to run into only a handful was just lucky on his own part, even if that one almost decimated Riley and her group from back then, who was to say they wouldn't try to do it again?

He almost bristled at Cady's comment on silliness. "The hole I fell into was in a building, it was just SURPRISE, random hole in the floor for you!" he said with his arms flailing in the air to punctuate the whole WTJ feeling of the moment.

Team Awesome

The ghoul rubbed the back of her neck as she stared at Mot for a moment longer, and then couldn’t help but laugh and give a shake of her head. Interesting things were coming, that was for sure! She could only wonder how this coffee rush would play out…hopefully he will regain his senses before any possible battles…

Oh, battles!

Hel perked up as she looked over at Shun now, a grin coming to her face. “Ah, a thought struck me, friend! When we return to campus, we should have a rematch! A real battle this time, yes?” The ghoul was rather excited about this idea! No holding back, they could use FEAR and their weapons! It would be excellent! The valkyrie gave a firm nod of her head as if to solidify this idea to herself, and swept her gaze over the students around them, before landing on a familiar set of wings.

Ah, there was her sister, wa—

"…Freya!” The ghoul hollered over at her, turning in her sister’s direction with a look of disbelief on her face. “What in Jack’s name are you wearing?”

Team Awesome

It was pretty clear that Mot won't be settling down any time soon. Well that was just great. Most likely this would mean one of them would have to drag his a** into the house later on whenever he burned through all of his energy. At least the guy wasn't that heavy despite being the tallest in the group.

When Hel addressed him, he looked down at the shorter reaper, nodding to her suggestion.

"That sounds like an excellent idea," he said. Their previous spar had turned out into a draw. Since the gym had been reopened, it provided great opportunities to hone his fighting prowess. Against an opponent like Hel would likely be good for them both.

"But that is then. Most likely we'll have a fair share of battles to deal with while we are here."

Why else would they be given the pumpkin pills?

Hearing her call out to someone else, he glanced up to see.. Freya wearing a rather different attire than when he last saw her. Odd. Shrugging, he looked over to Mitsu.

"How are you feeling about all of this?" he asked softly.
