Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her computer had been set up for this sort of notification. A certain ring would occur when she received a message via the Seeds forum. TO THE BAT CAVE! A message from the demoness would have the tatzel ghoul arriving at a particular space at an appointed time and date. Her attire was nearly what she usually wore, really; a white tank top, her black scarf, short shorts and a pair of worn-out slip ons.

Deciding it was some sort of training, Levi opted for some stealthy footwork on her way to the designated meeting place- if it was for Seeds, she didn't want to be followed. The familiar pink hair was a sign she was in the right place.

Lizzy?...

She whispered to the other ghoul, looking to make certain this wasn't some sort of trickery.

As per their usual greetings, Levi couldn't find a tail for Lizzy and so opted to simply accept the automatic hug. Lizzy was one of her favorite petite ghouls; what could she need her for in the matters of training today? Arm-in-arm (this was a bit of an awkward posture for her and yet... oddly familiar), Levi listened in with both white ears up in attention, flickering slightly toward the direction of Lizzy. Oh- them textin's. Don't figure I got none. Ain't got one'a them eyePhones. It was looking more and more like the ghoul would need one, however. Perhaps it was time to go home soon and talk it over with her folks. Silver was always tight.

It would explain why Levi hadn't received any message herself, so the ghoul nodded in understanding. So, students were able to get into the haunted house on their own to test...something? We gotta... believe? That's it? Sounded like something you heard on the skeeV during a scarling program. But there was no denying that their use of FEAR was just the same- you had to feel it working. Well bein' stronger. That's somethin' I reckon I'd know somethin' about. It was her constant goal to defeat the opponents that came her way. Surely she could emphasize this need in a feeling if it would help them now. Confessing such a thing was okay right now- to Lizzy. Had the ghoul been a potential opponent to her... not so much.

Is it just me 'er we're all lookin' ta be stronger, eh? Ta bring back tha safety 'a tha'school. Everyones been wantin' ta be stronger, I'think. She tapped a finger from her free hand to her chin then in thought. Her peers had been asking to train, had been training with ToTers and horsemen alike, and there was the gym itself being more frequently filled.

A sign that students were looking to become stronger. But how could they do so in a secret way out in the open? NOW her wheels were working. This is what Lizzy meant.

Yew got'it, screecheart. I'll give it a'go.

Allowing herself to follow the steps of Lizzy, Levi nodded and started to concentrate her thoughts; this took a lot of her brain power. The haunted house was a place she had been before, so thinking of its interior, its windows and its creaking floorboards was easy enough. She then applied her usual internal pep-talking. STRONGER. FASTER. HARDER. SNEAKIER.

They all wanted to become better; to be able to take on their opponents, these hunters that threatened their home, more effectively. Was there really a way? A place for them to train as much as they felt they needed?


They needed it.


This place.

Placing her other hand on Lizzy's arm, she affirmed Lizzy's concerns. I feel it too. Somethin's...

There was a definite force at work here and the tatzel closed her eyes, just letting it happen. She knew she had to keep thinking of this goal to train; to be stronger. The wind that seemed to breeze by them both was what cause the ghoul to open her eyes again.

A door. Something told her this door hadn't always been in this spot much like a lot of the areas within the house. Whatever she and Lizzy had done to bring it forward to them had worked. Ya figure this'is what- this is tha place? It might not be. They really had no idea what was behind this door, right? For all they knew, this could be a trap by the hunters themselves.

Bring it on.

After all that internal urging to fight, Levi wasn't going to back down now even if that was the case. She could take it; Lizzy was with her, but if push came to shove, Levi would look to get the demoness out first. It was time to venture into the unknown.


Yea. Let's go.

She looked down at herself and then at Lizzy. Their clothes had ~magically~ changed. Rather than some human trickery (of the bad kind), Levi saw this more like... a test? There must be a reason for this sort of scene.
Don't think we gotta do any fightin' in'ere. Just... maybe get'there.

There was a door deep within the water and she pointed it out to the demoness. So'long as yer able ta'hold yer breath, I can tryin' help git'ya down. How hard was it to...





Levi liked her fish. Really really liked her fish. The tough ghoul had been known to stop what she was doing before and simply bask in the glory of the fishy delights that swam around so enticingly for her pleasure. Tail swaying more rapidly, a wide grin would develop on her face. I'll go'on 'head!

And with that, the tatzel was already wriggling in the water, diving and bobbing back up in circles like a predator after its prey.

In her mouth was one of her catches, but that wasn't going to stop the ghoul from grabbing all she could with the rest of her available appendages. Excluding her tail since something had apparently grabbed a hold of that.

LIZZY!

Her priority was clear; instead of darting to catch the trollopus' cousin, the tatzel eeled her way back up to the surface, got some air and


gave it to Lizzy. Her friends came first. Holding the demoness for a moment, Levi watched to see if she needed to be brought back to the surface as well.
You're doing things the difficult way, Levi.

Her air clearly wasn't enough; the ghoul was going under again. Ready to return to the surface for more air, Levi's lightbulb finally blinked on: bring Lizzy with you this time.

Once again using her tail like that of an eel, Levi held onto Lizzy until they resurfaced, taking in a burst of needed air. Lizzy! C'mon now, Lizzy! Stay'with me! Keeping them both afloat with her legs and tail treading, Levi waited for a sign of life again.

Points: Air/8

Thank Jack

Lizzy was okay; everything was fine. It was, of course, until Lizzy made a startled expression as something in the water. Curiously, Levi dove in promptly to see what it was, hugging her arms around something squishy. The things was so slipper, however, that it was wriggling its way out.

Dangit! This was the trollops' cousin twice removed, wasn't it... yes it was. As the thing slipped, Levi squirmed high enough to call out to Lizzy. IT'S 'ERE! GIT IT! QUICK!

She had this odd tune in her head. It was making it that much more difficult to hold onto. Trololololol~
