Welcome to Gaia! ::

She heard Kasumi, but Junko didn't see Kasumi. No. What she saw was a pink elephant. A big. Pink. Elephant. In fact everyone had become elephants! Except little Luce. What was going on!? How could Malodore not see this? Even he was an elephant! But Kasumi was going on about drawing. What was there to draw? Maybe...maybe if she drew the elephants for Malodore he'd see them! Junko grabbed the nearest wriggling pen and a napkin and started to draw, blinking and just staring at the napkin drawing at first. She...she couldn't...? Napkins were hard to draw on! Junko was used to paper, so she could draw out designs for new clothes! This was hard!


It wasn't that Junko disliked these pink elephants per se, it was just that pink elephants did not belong in here! What was going ooooon?

Sin was just staring, she knew it was probably rude but really what was wrong with everyone? They were all acting completely strange like they were having hallucinations or something. Mass hysteria perhaps, had the pressure of student council caused a panic? Except even the non student council were acting pretty odd. Most of them were gaping at something like a fish out of water. She flipped her hair back and glanced around starting to feel uneasy.

Tired of feeling awkward she quickly walked over to the refreshment table to serve herself some punch. Her mouth still had a sour taste in it from her talk with the new VP. Get over it Sin, get over it. She reminded herself and then gulped down a cupful of punch blinking at the tangy flavor. Hmm...familiar somehow but she couldn't quite place why.

Israfel was being poked. In his being poked by a pink elephant the siren could only think to poke back. "Boop!" Gliding and spinning- okay maybe spinning wasn't a good idea. Shaking his head and almost tripping over something, the siren found a peice of paper on the wall. "Les draw a prutty pichur~" Dipping his finger into the frosting and the into some jelly the siren had made than imprompt color pink form of ink. Sugary, sticky ink. Drunkenly, he started to draw out what he saw.



He didn't have art skills to start with, but being drunk made it ten times worse. "IS PURFUCT". The siren tacked it back on the wall before looking at his pink elephant partner.

"Boop." Who he poked in the head with one pink frosting covered finger.

She was late for the party, but she couldn't help it - there were some things she had to attend to first before she could find the time to join the Student Council's Welcome Party. Upon her arrival, however, she couldn't help but notice that the students were rather... Off. As she stood at the side, she realized that everyone around her were muttering something about 'pink elephants' and them being 'everywhere'.

How odd! The spider demon paused, frowning a little as she scanned her surroundings; there were no 'pink elephants'! However, she did spot a familiar face.

"I-Iggy?" Her eye widened and she grinned happily at her friend, glad to see a familiar face. While she knew some of the members of the student council, she figured that since it was their party, they must be busy! She quickly made her way through the crowd; the stone ghoul's vibrant clothes made her stand out and easy to find. When she was within reach, Lizzy grabbed Iggy's hands in her own in greeting. Then, turning to Iggy's friend (a ghoul with red hair and tail), she gave her a nod of greeting before turning back to the gargoyle, "Its good to see you!"

"E-e-elephant?" Lizzy echoed, looking rather bewildered at her friend as she squirmed a little at the hug before hugging back with a giggle; at well, at least her bones were still intact! After the hug was done with, the Demon shook her head, looking a little worried as she reached out to feel her friend's forehead; do statues get sick? Wait - do monsters even get sick often? Frowning slightly, she spoke again, "But I'm not! Well, I've always wanted to fly but... I'm not pretending to be... An elephant..."

Her voice faded away as she stared hard at the ghoul, wondering if she was playing a trick on her for arriving late to the party. However, Iggy looked perfectly serious about seeing elephants... Chewing on her lower lip, she then looked around once more, in case she really had missed the appearance of pink elephants. Seeing that there were none, she couldn't help but feel a tad disappointed.

Pink is a good color, after all!

"Hello LW," She smiled at the other ghoul as she extended out a hand, hoping the werewolf could maybe provide her with an explanation to all the madness, "I'm Elizabeth Baines, but I prefer to be called Lizzy... What's all this about pink elephants?"

While everyone else seemed occupied with staring at random directions, Calder sipped his punch and was about to make another go for it (water creatures tended to get thirsty after all), and was touched on the shoulder by a..ah…well, a ghoul. He had no idea what she was, but she had a fantastic shade of purple to her skin and he wondered by her facial features if she was another water monster as well.

Before he could even think about the fact that she couldn't speak without a mouth, the answer was given to him by her own question, which was spoken in his mind. For someone who hadn't said anything physically, she had a very pleasant voice.

Blinking a moment, he was tempted to think he had thought the voice up, but if he had any voices in his head, they would certainly not be a girl's voice, and would usually be a certain voice just saying his name. But that was for daydreaming in class!

Wondering if people who could talk into your mind could also read them, he tried not to think of such dirty things and nodded. "Just wanted to know what everyone is looking at." He wasn't exactly sure what all the commotion was about, and he looked at the bewildered crowd. "They all seem excited about something. Do you know what they are looking at? I don't see…" He said, looking back to the group, and let his sentence trail.

In the crowd was an elephant. It was by the doors and talking to a ghost. Blinking, he looked back at the girl he was talking to, and then back again, to only see more of the elephants, all talking to normal students. "Uh.." He raised a finger to point at the group, and with each blink, with each turn of his head to look around, more and more elephants were found, and less and less students. It came to the point where everyone was missing and in their place were only the elephants.

He stepped back to the punch table, and looking at it, set the cup aside. He was usually much better at holding his poison than this. Worst of all, the girl he was talking to was gone and in her place was the elephant. Why pink? Couldn't they have been green or a nice plaid? The pink felt like it was burning his eyes.

"Oh…..this isn't good." With a jerk, he felt one of the elephants move up and then use him as a table as they drew on his back. Eyes wide, he watched as the elephant drew, and he pressed his hands to his mouth, holding back a whinny. As if some foreshadowing of death, he was hearing dog bark, which made him anxious to run. Barking dogs always put him on edge, and when the elephant was done drawing, he started to slowly move back, holding back a neigh that was begging to break free.

"Happy place. Happy place." He closed his eyes a moment and thought of Alabaster's office, and that inviting space under his desk he had always wanted to crawl under.
