Welcome to Gaia! ::

Junko watched as Riley began to treat Astra as if she had the plague, staring at the mindflayer. She was shocked! She'd never seen Riley so...so...was scared the right word? She'd like to think so. "...Riley...are you scared of babies?" Junko blinked.

Sepheran listened intently, "That sounds like a lot of fun, I should probably do the same some time. All my clothes are starting to get ruined by these field trips..." he replied seemingly not getting her hint at first.

Liannan, seemed to get the hint however and casually lifted her head to his ear flicking and hissing very softly. Only then did he realize and blush lifting his hand nervously to his mouth in a fake cough. "Oh...umm...well...I heard there was going to be a Prom...and well...if you still want to...h-how about we go together?" he asked not so smoothly. What could he say, Arachne put him off his guard. At least when they were in danger he could be calm about it all, now that they were safe though and he knew how she felt about him, well he too was a little nervous.

Sephrean gulped slightly unsure of what was going on for a moment since there was a short time of silence. Oh how he wished he could see, if only for a short time. He relaxed though when he heard her say she would love too, well she said like but he could tell the excitement in her voice.

He smiled back reminding himself to thank Liannan later with a nice treat as thanks for bringing him to the class after all. He hadn't wanted to at first, but things didn't seem so bad now. "Great, it's a...date then," he replied blushing slightly once more at the word 'date' and quickly turning his own face away as to try and hide it while pretending to hear something of interest elsewhere just to keep himself contained feeling as if everyone in the room was watching them even if they weren't at all.

Astra...wasn't sure if she should be worried, upset, or downright amused at Rileys reaction to the scareling. She settled on bewildered instead.That was a good emotion to feel at this moment. She watched the mindflayer literally jumped on the desk as if she was a cat, the screeching slightly resembled one to boot.

Junko had asked the right question to riley. Because there was just no other way to describe it. It was as if she was absolutely terrified of touching it encase she would end up having one too. Although...she couldn't say if this would happen or not.

"Umm..okay Riley, you don't have to touch her if you don't want to." By this time the fairy dryad was looking wide eyed and fearful, and had started to cry it's little arms coming up to cover it's eyes while tears streamed down it's face.

"aww, it's okay, don't cry...don't cry" Astra began cuddling and cooing her to try and get her to calm down, then turned to Lizzy. "I think she came from...a cupcake, actually...Or perhaps it was a pumpkin that looked like a cupcake? If what Lizzy said was true where babies came from pumpkins..which sounded just as weird, at any rate.

"And I guess she did grow pretty fast, although I'm not sure why.." She replied to bul, still trying to get said scareling to stop crying, also realizing that malodore was in this class too. "Hi malodore!" She greeted the plague doctor.

Seeing as Riley had already composed herself, she had no issue with denying that she had freaked out at all. Of course not, Junko. Don't be absurd. I'm not afraid of anything. Let alone little - She shuddered. Hellspawn. I'm simply being precautious.

Her eyes fluttered left, and then right, making sure that all of the pumpkins on Nurse Cricket's desk were far, far away, before sitting down in a seat. Her back was rigid as wood, and her neck was arched perfectly, the picture of poise.

But her eyes remained fixed carefully on Astra.

Just. Let's all sit down and relax. Preferably nowhere near her, Riley silently thought to herself in Astra's case. She reached out and patted Malodore's claw gently in reassurance. Nothing is amiss, my love. Fear not.

She would keep those pumpkins, and the spawn, away. No one would dare infect her with the curse of scarelings.

The greeting directed towards her had certainly been noticed but before the banshee could decide on the kind of reply she'd give the sound-levels in the room absolutely erupted. The teeth-grinding screech of metal on flooring by that patchwork that'd unleashed the horrible Lepus menace on her and others during the Open House. Soon after a very small ghoul fluttered in on gossamer wings and created probably the biggest commotion she'd ever seen. Or rather, it was the little... scareling? That sat upon her head.

With a disgruntled sound she stood up from her seat, walking past not one, not two, but THREE ginger-haired boils. All of which were fairly easy on the eyes. She put a little swing in her step as she passed them and made her way to Junko. There were a plethora of new faces surrounding the other ghoul... what a popular one she seemed to be.

Aislin put on a wide smile, sharp teeth meshed together as she drew up in front of the dark-haired ghoul. "Junko! Hello! So... are you taking this class because of Seiji?" It was part tease and part serious question. Eyes slit open, faint lines of white glowing through her thick lashes as she watched the other ghoul. In complexion she seemed to be almost complete opposite of herself. Darker hair, though it too seemed to hover and float about her, or at least strands of it did. Certainly a more healthy, alive skin tone. A pretty heart-shaped face. Hmm.

"..You were totally afraid." Junko grinned at Riley, giggling and waving a hand. "It's just a scareling. It can't hu--awwww! You made her cryyy!" Poor little scareling! Junko decided to take a seat shortly after that, having grown tired of standing. It was around then that another ghoul entered and she looked up to see who it was.

She..looked a little old to be here. Not that she looked old just..older? Was she Cricket's substitute or something? Was that why Cricket wasn't here? Junko was about to ask the horse(wo)man when she heard her name, instead looking up to find Aislin standing beside her and asking a very embarrassing question. Junko's face flushed hot pink, her hair raising like an angrily puffed bird. She wasn't angry, but she was certainly flustered. Taking sex ed because of Seiji?! "N-no! No way! That would imply we...do things!" She cried indignantly, hair writhing and wriggling. "I just...I was here last time and...no way!" Why would she even ask something so embarrassing!?
