Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was singing now?! Oh, Jack! Even Junko sang better than that! And what was with those lyrics? It was just...it...it was awful! "SHUT THAT JACKDAMNED THING UP ALREADY!" She was irritated enough as it was, hearing the Jackawful singing of a demented Chuck-In-The-Box was not helping. Junko winced at Her yelling but agreed wholeheartedly.

"Let's get out of here, Alcie." She said to her companion, trying to quicken their pace past the fight as quickly as she could get them. But she did hear Alcie's answer to her worries. Ah, that made sense. That last outfit was...not a good idea. All it did was show everyone what her panties looked like. Everyone. But they may have lost Quarria? Aww, but she was so nice! She wanted to get to know her a bit better. That was a shame. Junko shook her head at the inquiry about fighting. "Nothing here yet, just that tree. I'm good so far...thank you for thinking of me though! How're you feeling?" On the one hand chatting was nice, it was keeping her distracted...on the other hand it was keeping her distracted. They needed to keep an eye on these toys!

Riley was distracted from admonishing Israfel when there was a commotion around another toy. This one, at least, wasn't a pink elephant - but that face was something she was sure came straight from a child's nightmare. Was this island technically owned by Halloweentown? Pink elephants and nightmare toys... she was starting to feel more at home.

She turned around and rested her hand on Jericho's long dragon neck, patting it gently. One of these times, I'd like to see you just.. just.. step on whatever comes calling. Just crush it. Perhaps it's flattened corpse will warn others of these creatures from coming near us.

Now imagining a crushed pink elephant, jack in the box, or whatever the hell this isle held for them put a rather toothy smile on the red dragon's face. As much as he'd like to reduce these horrors to ashes or shred them apart, the remains of those outcomes probably didn't have as much of a lasting effect to anything that happened to chance upon the corpse.

"Now that sounds like an excellent idea," he nodded, "Too bad we don't have any long stakes or anything else we could spear their heads above the ground. You know, the classic warning."

Did you kill it? You totally killed, right?!

The Jack swayed back and forth for a while, teetering while a piece of it's spring ripped through it's cloth 'form', ejecting another box off into the snow not too far away... all to the tune of...

"Dance your cares away....worries for..an..o..th..er...d........a.....y........" it sounded like a worn out record by the time 'Chuck' finally retreated back into his box, one arm left out of the box even after it shut, dangling pathetically in the toy's demise.

HP: 0
LOOT:

Cyrilla walked over to the smaller box, and poked at it gingerly with a clawed hand. If anything popped out of it, she was throwing it in the water. After a moment, she seemed satisfied that it was relatively safe, and it was, kind of pretty, so she picked it up.

Wandering back over to the chuck-in-a-box. She looked at it, then looked towards Merope, then back to it. Taking her tail, she used it to do what she'd intended to earlier.

Toss the damn thing away. Only, she tossed it at Merope instead.

"That's for... whatever the jack you call what you were doing." she stuck out her tongue before walking over to Mei.

"Uh... yeah... SO. Like we were discussing... let's go... as far away from this place as we possibly. Can."

Alcie's opinion of Israfel really hadn't changed considering that he was drunk now and he was in the middle of a battle. However he wanted to attack didn't matter to her as long as he didn't start getting rowdy with other students then he could keep doing whatever he wanted. Hopefully he could snap out of it just for a little bit so that he could fend off the strange toy. Now that she thought about it, she had no idea what that toy was called.

Nodding in response to Junko's comment, Alcie was starting to think that Israfel's 'singing' was going to start attracting other toys. She decided to keep that thought to herself or else she could cause a little panic. "Yeah... we should keep moving." They were moving pretty fast, hopefully Sin could catch up.

"That's good. We still have quite a way to go so we still need to be careful and keep an eye out." Pausing, Alcie wasn't sure if she could quite sum up her feelings but overall, "I'm feeling alright. A little sad that we're trekking through the snow again but I'm actually feeling a little exhilarated." Alcie loved feeling her adrenaline rushing and the feeling of living on the edge. So much better than sitting around at home.

Junko was trying not to lose Sin, she really didn't want to lose Sin, but she also didn't want to stay here. "Mm...I think I saw some people take the middle road." Junko bit her lip for a moment and looked in that direction. Would they be alright? She hoped so! She wasn't sure who went that way she just knew she saw figures of students heading in that direction. Alcie was alright though, that was good. "I wish I hadn't lost my shoes, it'd be better to walk in those than the clothes...thank you again, by the way! I promise I'll make both of you new skirts." Since they'd torn theirs and readding the pieces they'd ripped off would look ugly...unless they liked patchwork?

She was calm again until Israfel suddenly screeched, jumping and staring at him. Well at least it was a happy one? He was so proud of himself! Junko laughed, putting a hand over her mouth to try and hide it poorly. Haha! That was actually rather adorable! "He makes being drunk look like a good idea. Where did he even get the drink?"

The tikbalang's nostrils flared in relief at the Chuck-in-the-box's defeat. He adjusted his backpack, warily eying the paths in case another one of those was lurking around. He hoped that would be the last of them as he began trudging forward, wincing at the loud yell from the winged boil that had defeated the pink elephant form earlier.
