Welcome to Gaia! ::

Team: Scarlet Sabbath

Danny seemed to crumple a bit under G's weight, but her excitement didn't seem dampened in the least. She grabbed a few more bracelets and struggled with those as well. She just could not get this down.

Then Roch mentioned Rikki being leader. Danny did hear that.

She made the appropriate O nO face.

"B-but Roch," she wibbled, "I want to be the leaderrrrrr." She squirmed as much as she could under the hulking mass of G. All while saying this, she looked back down at her bracelets and flipped them around again.

Team Scarlet Sabbath

Whoa wait what?

Rikki gave Roch a jox in headlights look. Leader? What? Why was that even being considered? Hadn't they just been over how he wasn't the most responsible person on the team? How did he suddenly have all the responsibility thrust on him? That didn't even make sense. He sputtered unintelligibly for a few seconds before Danny decided she wanted to be leader.

Oh! Oh that was the perfect idea.

"Wait. Danny can be leader." He paused for a second really be sure he was saying this, and then continued. "Yeah. Danny is the leader of fire. It's her job to set enemies on fire if it doesn't put us in danger. A G is the leader of smashing things because he's big. And Moure is the leader of being fast and having the pills. And Roch, you can be the leader of deciding where to go, because you were on the streets for so long."

There. Problem solved. Rikki was responsibility free.

TEAM SKULLKER

Tybalt snatched away his hand the moment they had finished shaking, leaving the black dog to continue glaring at the other. Which fortunately wasn't for long, since Gabe spoke up.

"Wait... you hated him too?" He asked, staring back up towards the nix ( damn tall people! ), confused. Looking at the two of them now, he would never have believed that once upon a time they hated each other. There was no threats, no tension, and they weren't trying to strangle each other. In fact other than playful insults there was no signs of hate. They seemed like close friends, not enemies.

His ears perked a little at the mention of the Scarentine event. It had been a while since the event took place, that he almost forgot about it.

"Oh, yeah! Chuppi saved my tail back then." He nodded, remembering hanging out with the chupacabra, one of his best friends at Amityville. Sadly, he hadn't seen her around lately though. Maybe she was visiting home?

"Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I remember you---not at the event, but I think we briefly met during the last field trip..." He tried to re-call where it was and then remembered that it was just before they went down into the underground labs. Gabe was the one that carried Ren after the gryphon got beaten up by one of those hooded figure. Ah yes, he definitely remembered that! The memory brought an amused grin to the black dog's face.

It wasn't too long after that, that Jove finally joined the group and with a little greeting gift---on his hoodie...

"Hey Jove!" He replied with a wag of his tail, before brushing up against Ren briefly to rub off any snot that might have clung to him onto the gryphon. Yeah, he was an a**. "All ready for this boot camp thing?" He asked the younger ghost; shrugging his back pack's strap back up onto his shoulder and looked over at LW when she tugged at his hood.

"But I like hoodies. They're comfortable." He complained. and tugged the hood which threatened to fall down, back up. "You better watch your tail too!" He agreed, spotting a familiar face among LW's group.

"Hey Mei! Every time I see you, you're wearing less and less!" He tsked at her mockingly. "Watch your butt, kay?" He called and gave Whisper, Natalia, and Mort a wave as well, wishing them all well.

Unfortunately his almost good mood vanished when the final member of their team arrived and in fact caused him jump back, startled. Only, it wasn't the reaper ghoul that startled him. It was the black creature stretched across her shoulders in that lazy manor that all of their kind seemed to have.

"What the JACK!" He squeaked out, eyes wide with alarm. "No one said their would be a cat!"

And here he thought he had been making progress with the feline species.

Team: League of Extrodinary Students






Aksaja couldn't help but be a bit nervous about this trip . . . especially considering how the last few of them had gone. But, well, he was older now. And more capable? Hopefully. There'd just better not be fog. Please, please don't let there be fog in whatever place they were going to now.

At least the portal was new. No boats, that was a good sign, right? Taking a deep breath, the lightning dragon hitched his one bag up on a shoulder and walked through the portal. There were the expected few moments of disorientation, but he handled them better than others might have thanks to having fairly recently used something similar to this portal to get home and back.

Once on the other side, he glanced about cautiously, then blinked a few times. The Human World? And they were actually supposed to be here this time? Hmn, well this might be interesting after all. It was also easy enough to figure out what the structure in front of them was supposed to be, having gone wandering in Halloween Town's own Haunted House during the Floresctival.

He continued to eye the house during Red's speech, raising brows slightly at the mention of training. Wasn't that supposed to be something reserved for older students? I mean, yes, he himself was a Knob now but a lot of students here were still in their first year. Eh . . . oh well. He'd better find his teammates. Some of them he had heard of or seen before but didn't know well, and others he'd never met . . . though he found himself inordinately pleased that Sharra was also on his team. He hadn't seen the Nergal boil since he got back from his trip home.

Ah, there they were. Aksaja moved over toward the group, having recognized Myr from afar. His eyes also lit up just a bit at Nefertari - glad to see someone else with wings. "Hey guys," he called softly as he walked up, wriggling fingers a bit. It looked like Sharra wasn't here yet but everyone else was.

Team STFU

Holly grinned as she kept her arms crossed. Of course she knew what the boil meant but she just had to twist those words some. No way he'd back down from one of them but the both? This was going to be a fun trip. She'd be impressed if he came close to the numbers either of them got. It wasn't that she doubted his skills, would he be quicker then them though? She stuffed her the third pill in her own bag. There. It wasn't that she didn't trust Savior, the ghoul had no place to put a pill for later. Literally.

"Hm? Fun? Just as fun as the last one right. No boats, thank Jack." Or at least she hoped. At least there weren't sleds either. Freaking sleds.

The ghoul steadied herself when Savior started to move. She noticed the other ghoul was whistling. Hopefully not a bad noise. Then she almost fell. Had Savior weighted much more Holly would have been down on the ground. That was close. Was she really picking up the names that fast? Or learning them at least? "No one is going to die Savior, promise." Well promised as well as she could. This was getting a bit creepy. "No one will get hurt, we'll stick together, right guys?" Right? She hoped. Holly rose a brow. "What do you have Savior?" Uh. "Thanks?"

Team Awesome

Hearing the little exchange, between the two, Shun just stared at Mot for a moment or so.

"Liar."

It was all he said before turning away. Even he could tell that something was wrong with the cowboy. He wasn't going to bother prying though. Then again, a part of him wondered if he should. If it was something that could affect the team or their task, then it would be best to get it out of the way before it became something disruptive.

For now, he let Hel handle it.

Team Awesome

Damnit Shun!

...

Damnit Hel!

They were both much too clever. And now? He was cornered. Cornered with four simple words. It was a question he was not allowed to answer. Answering it meant breaking the promise with Freya, and losing something very precious to him.

There was no way he would tell. It was obvious something happened, that much he could not deny any longer. However, as long as he did not say anything more, the promise would be upheld.

"I'm not saying."
