Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ever since the whole Christmastival thing, he had been filled in on what exactly happened outside of the school, and why he was stuck inside with the Jack damned gay Shaman and his kids. However, there was one thing good about it - he was able to observe some of those kids... And he was actually pretty impressed with a couple of them. They reminded him of when he was still a student...

That might be why, one early morning, a black angry bird was tossed at the window of a certain Wrath demon's room, breaking it upon contact and flying through it into the room. Upon landing on the floor, it started squawking loudly, sounding very much like a tortured seagull, in order to catch the boil's attention. On it, there was a note:



The black angry bird started to blink; black, grey, black, grey...

There was a knocking on her door to rival her fathers. The farm ghoul was one to enjoy a good morning start right and early- how else would you tend to the crops? Such habits continued on with her even in school. Her candy corgon still puffed out from within it's urn sleepily, but Levi was already finishing up her watering the vines. Breakfast was eaten, the minis had food for when they arose and the candy corn was tended; all that was left was to give the one on the other side of her door a talking to.

The tatzel bounded over to the door in a skip and a jump, already giving them an earful for such commotion. Jack DANGIT- door's open, what's 'tha ruckus?!... Pulling the door wide open, she realized why. Her expression wasn't quite so surprised anymore. Boil, figures ya'll'd knock like that. Geeze. As her Ma would say West will be West; that's wrath demon for you? No use lecturing him on how to knock per the moment... his appearance already had her attention.

What'cha been punchin' now, boil? She glared at him for assuming he'd gotten himself into a potentially damaging situation. If he wanted to get messed up so badly, she'd do that in their training. He should consider his condition more carefully if he was to fight her with all he had... as she wanted it.

Or somethin' after ya?... Also possible? Was he being chased or attacked by something? How odd he'd come to her for aid...

Barely-... kekekekeke!!! Sleepyhead, eh? Been up fer hours now! The hallway began to fill with that sweet candy smell again without a word of a whisper coming from any of the other dorms. The paper he handed her was quickly read over and the ghoul thought she was beginning to understand what West was into here. Looked like birds stuck together.

Levi knew West wasn't the only one who "slept in" and thusly decided to take this conversation inside. Eh... better step in fer this. C'mon. She moved away from the doorway, leaving it open for the wrath demon to enter and heading over to some shelving by the kitchen. Out of one segment, she pulled out a box and retrieved a rather crumpled looking bit of card from it. This'is it... ain't much to it but tha words n' some numbers. Since it's telling' us not ta call, I'd say it's'a phone number?

... but ain't quite easy ta make out some'a them numbers... hmmm...

She held the card up to the light before passing it over to West. ...think we 'ought'a try callin' it?

Can't fly none, but... ma' kin we jump pretty dang far, I'd say. Tatzelwurm folks got 'a jump ta'be proud 'a Pa always said. Ya'll seen me before. Think I ain't ready ta' do what all'a ya'll flyin' folk do? There was no way she'd admit to her lack of wings being a weakness in this situation. Two boils with wings who could likely handle going over a pit of doom versus her still limited need for ground eventually was not what she'd talk about with West. He saw what she was capable of in the haunted house when she jumped over the icy waters of that first room. Worked just fine fer that time in tha cold room 'a tha'house. She grinned up at him, crossing her arms at her chest.

The wrath demon was right about one other thing; if the ToTer had said noon, it was still too early to call him up. Best to wait a bit on that or risk ticking him off further than how ticked he usually appeared.

Reckon I can hold ma'own, boil. She turned and made her way over to the fridge, retrieving a few things in her arms while listening to West's plan of action. Jericho? ... Yeah! Boil has'lot goin' fer 'im, I'd dun think maself. That there's 'a great idea!

Jericho was a dragon she held in high regard; like West, he had a determination about him that was admirable as well as knowledge she fully respected. Levi hadn't fought with Jericho herself but given what she'd seen of him, the tatzel gathered that Jericho would be a prime example of what red boils could do; or dragons in general, really. Jericho was a fighter and a flyer; this would be her chance to see him in action where they weren't under the threat of dissipating. This would be... hopefully less risky?

There would be explosions, but explosions by a Halloweener none-the-less. He sure would be good ta'have 'round with that fire 'alright. Levi chuckled, recalling how fierce the red had fought even if it was against the skeletal dragon she rode. Sure wanna see 'im 'on 'is fight today! Levi had a show to look forward to as well as ...training? Or whatever the ToTer had in store for West.

Quickly getting out a pan and cracking some red-yolked eggs into the sizzling center, Levi busied herself with getting out a plate and spices. Ya'know... ya look bit like heck, West. Did'ja even eat anythin'? C'mon, sit yerself down 'ere n'have a bite. 'Member what 'I said 'bout fightin' on'a empty stomach, eh? Always good to have something in your belly around the time of fighting when you were one who ate. Ya'll can call up Jericho n' make sure tha'boil's ready fer a rodeo 'a some kind. But fer now, eat up. When the eggs were done, she placed them on a dish and put a sausage into the pan now, quickly searing the outside and then slicing it up diagonally. She placed the finished plate on the table along with cutlery and a red checkered napkin.

Go on. Sitting opposite the wrath demon, Levi's tail swayed in thought just watching West. N' ya'll can use ma shower if ya'dun wanna be seein' goin' 'round like that.

N' then we can call Jericho n' see if he wants in. Yea?

She liked this plan. Explosive competition in something planned by an honest and true Trick or Treater with two boils the tatzel considered strongest of those she knew.

This was promising to be a fun day.

She chuckled at his appetite; the demon could eat. Good ta'see that part'a ya is still quick as ever even in tha'mornin'. Levi nodded to his pointing in the correct direction of the washroom. Yep, down that way n' tha clean towels 're on tha top shelf. You'll see 'em. Moving to pick up the polished plate, her ears perked when West spoke again, giving her the phone to use to contact Jericho. Oh. Right. Umm. Sure, you go on 'n I'll let 'im know.

She could do this. Yep. Texting. The flat screen of the eyePhone she'd used before to take pictures during the Christmastown invasion now had visible keys on it. So- all she had to do was touch the letter she wanted to make it come up on the screen like a computer keyboard, right? Right. It happened rather speedily as West walked that she typed up something and then noted the "SEND" button.

She placed her finger over it and, before Levi got a chance to read over her message, she heard the fainter voice of West again. He thanked her and said the mirrored image she made of him in the dish was cute. Levi thought it was too... that was why she did it. To have him recognize this was something else though; he'd noticed a small but friendly gesture of hers as she tried to make him feel better about being woken up by exploding bird. He went so far as thanking her for it. It surprised her enough to have her touch the send button without a second thought about anything other than those words replaying in her head.


Stupid boil...

The tatzel then looked at the screen to see the SENT indication and shrugged. Well, looks like it did 'its job all 'on its own. The ghoul placed the eyePhone in the pocket of her shorts and went on to rinse the dish, a grin plastered on her face. kekekeke dummy...

West looked down at his phone and scrolled through his sent messages before pocketing it. "We should go," he said, shaking his head. Either Jericho would be there or he wouldn't. Perhaps he was in the mood to investigate exploding potatoes today.

The demon stood, brushing off his now-only-slightly-stained sweatshirt-jacket-thing, and looked at the tatzel as if to say hurry up. He was much cleaner now than he had been when he had arrived, but his shirt was still spattered with bird if you looked closely enough. West took a couple of shuffling steps toward the door, those steps turning more purposeful when he heard the dragon's knock.

He looked at Levi. To greet someone else's guest or not to greet them? "Y'gonna get that?" he asked, even though he was standing right next to the door. Apparently the answer was not.

When the door opened, Jericho was on guard, but saw Levi and West there. No one else was around it seemed. Even so, it took him a little while to relax.

"I'm fine," he said gruffly before taking the note to see it for himself. There was nothing about 'taters' in it. Trick or Treater, it was instead.

"Your text said a tater sent this," he frowned while eyeing Levi warily, "I think I smell a trap. He probably wants to blow US up. BOOM. Just like that."

As soon as he said that, his eyes darted off to the side once more. He was still very antsy about this whole ordeal. First potatoes and now Tot'ers. All explosions. It didn't make any sense. But he didn't like it.

... what'in tha candy'pickin' are ya'll talkin' 'bout?! TRICK-'ER-TREATER. Not a PO-TA-TO.

If they were going to go see this ToTer, Levi began to worry that these boils might not be able to fully comprehend the lessons or tasks involved. The figure that gave them the card during the Christmastown invasion wasn't a potato; not before, and not now. At least, the tatzel was fairly certain he hadn't changed into one given he was more bird-like than anything else.

Which explained why they'd think West had potential.

I'm goin' too. Ya'll come 'round 'ere tha way ya are n' I'd be danged if I didn't see 'bout this ToTers fer maself. Levi held up the card in her hand. Gotta call 'im first, right?
