Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rosc nodded a bit at her explanation, wondering if it was that boil she was helping, with the drowning lessons, but he didn't ask. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have had time, because Alcie was running up and babbling to Sin. He didn't smile so much when he stood to take her hand and shake it, though he did give her a small nod and his face was relaxed. He didn't even have to introduce himself, Sin had that covered.

Of course, they had met before, Sin had introduced him at the Demon party, but he wasn't going to correct anyone.
He sat down again, crossing one leg over the other in a relaxed, almost bored fashion. Should he say anything? No, he didn't think so. This was ghoul time, if they wanted any input from him, they would ask.

Mandy had been about to give the boil another piece of her mind after his comments about her when she felt the familiar tingle of being stared at intensely. Eyes quickly casting about in search for who it was she found no one turned her way leading to one conclusion. Guiltily Mandy slowly turned to Alwine, shuffling her feet and generally looking sorry for upsetting her.

"I know Winnie, its part of why I like ya, you can act so prim and proper and yet be tough when its needed. But just cause I know that stuff in my head doesn't mean that I'm not worrying about you here," she said this tapping her chest, just over her heart,"It would just make me feel better if you have someone to back you up, yeah?"

People could tell Mandy was definatly staring at her feet. Admitting what she had was a bit different for her, emotions weren't high on her list of conversation makers.

"I know what you mean..." said Alwine. "I really do. But it makes me feel bad when you worry."

The area around Alwine was getting a bit chilly. Those who studied the race of ghosts often knew that when ghosts gathered energy it would often suck the heat around them, creating cold spots. The Samara Doll was a touch curious as to the sudden need for energy. Was it because of that strange monster? Feh, she didn't care. She just wanted to get back to the room and back to the TV.

"I don't know if ghosts have hearts," the haunt trailed off. "But when I think about this trip being made without you, my body goes rigid... and it is more difficult to keep from phasing. Look, my shoes are starting to disappear! I hope Professor Blue doesn't teach dance as well as music..."

Viveca had come back to her room to find Victor holding a letter, requiring her to go to the lecture hall. She had already packed a small back of clothes and necessities for the field trip, so, scooping up Victor into her arms, she had headed out towards the hall.

Once in the hall she had found it hard to find seat, but listened anyway to the briefing. She quickly found her name on the list and skimmed her boatmates. To her surprise, she found that she was to be in the boat with the only two people she'd met thus far at school. Well, that would certainly take the sting out of having to leave Victor behind (her jaw had dropped at the announcement that there were to be no Minipets with them).

Looking around, she spotted the two familiar forms and pushed her way through the other students to get to them.

"Hi Sin! Alcie!" she greeted them. There was a third person with them, that she hadn't met yet.

"Hello," she said, making sure to include him. "I'm Viveca."

After watching and listening to the student chatter, Mei pushed herself away from her seat giving a good long stretch before making her way through the isle. She hated crowded places like this--she hated limited space. Weaving through the students as she moved by, she made her way for the exit. Honestly, there was no point in sitting around here any longer. The announcement was made, and she would have to prepare for tomorrow morning.

Her biggest problem was her HP supply.. She would need to call her father and ask him to bring a special supply for the trip. There was no way her usual source would cut it. And then there was the problem of her minipets.. Should she put them in the closet with the other minipets? Or should she leave them be, with a proper food supply? "Ugghhh." Ruffling her hair in irritation, she brushed her hair aside again as to not walk into something or someone with her vision blocked by hair. Was there going to be someone of school staff to watch over all the minipets? If there was, she felt a small amount of pity for them. That task would be more than enough to drive her insane--well, more than she already can be.

Lightly pushing past a random student, she offered a small apology as she continued her course. Eyes shifting, she spotted two ghouls chatting to one another, and let a smile appear. It was a shame that Natalia and Whisper were stuck on separate boats, especially when separate from each other. Oh well, they could always meet up on shore, right? Shrugging it off, she waved at the two, but was unsure if they noticed or not. She would have stopped to chat, but she needed to make quick arrangements for tomorrow. If she left it any later, then there was a good chance she wouldn't have her supply in time before the boarding---and she couldn't have that! No, she needed to be ready before her departure. She just hoped that her father would already be prepared for something like this.. After all, it was short notice.

Sepheran inwardly sighed, now he would have to get up even earlier. "I suppose I should...I just have to force myself to get up so early," Sephy crooned lightly. "I'm not exactly a morning person though...why do we have to leave in the early morning," Sepheran complained for the first time out loud. "Not that I have much of a choice..." the basilisk added giving in.

Tilting his head he listened to Myr as he talked about what he had been doing. When asked himself he chuckled lightly, "Pretty much the same...what club are you in?" Sepheran asked curiously. He still needed to get into a club too he just didn't know what to join.

Efflo was attempting to make his way out of the auditorium, eager to get away from the boisterous crowd of chattering students, when a sudden chill washed over him. It was unnerving; the glow worms worked hard to keep his temperature very regulated and for something to be able to pull all their hard work away, well, his breath caught in his throat. He hurried forward, disliking the frigid embrace.

He rubbed his arms gently, pausing to look back over his shoulder. He still didn't understand a lot about the creatures of Halloweentown (not that he understood much about how he actually managed to function) and because of his lone wolf demeanor, he hadn't had any sort of chance to satisfy his curiosities. The undead boy unwittingly found himself staring at Alwine, as she stood near the icy spot. He sniffed the air, but it gave no clues. He inwardly cursed that lapsing into his horse form here would probably land him a detention. Things were so much clearer when you had hooves...

With Junko still working at cheering up the kitsune ghoul Seiji was glad for the distraction provided by his friend and the boggart he recognized from groanspring. From what he remembered Icky seemed pretty cool, so he was actually glad for the chance to meet him. Of course at current he looked half awake and irritated.

Regardless, the jikininki lifted his clawed hand in a mock salute, grinning at the half-beast as he was introduced. "Hey, nice to meet you." He grinned, offering a fist to Bul for a bump before sitting up in his seat. "Least you two get to be on the same boat, "he snorted, glancing sideways towards the futakushi-onna before Icky's question tugged his attention back to him. "Ghouls? Oh, Yaya's on your boat, Junko's friend. She's that water djinn, doesn't wear many clothes." They'd met, and he'd gotten the distinct impression that the ghoul wasn't sure if she liked him or not. Still, she'd been nice. "S'got a boil, though their relationship is odd." Not that they were shaky, but from what Junko had said had come to the conclusion that they had something of an open relationship. At least that was the impression he got. He could be wrong though.

Looking at his list again, the ghost noticed a familiar name on Junko's boat. "Looks like Sarias is with Junko. I wonder if they'll get along." He glanced up at Icky, smirking in a good natured sort of way. "Don't you two got like a thing going on?" He'd seen them dancing at the party, and after their back and forth banter on groanspring he just assumed. Then again, the banshee had been rather forward when she'd given him that tour of the dorms.
