Welcome to Gaia! ::

It seemed there was still a little fight left in the two berserkers, their simultaneous attacks quickly clearing the circle of students which had surrounded them, bodies beginning to drop like flies. Nuk paid little attention to any of it, although he did watch with a wince as one of Breic's hooves slammed into both Fauste and Cooper. Despite his valiant efforts, he was, however, sadly outnumbered, and within a few minutes Breic has been restrained, one of the staff pulling him out of the fray and towards the other cabin. The skinwalker rolled his shoulders a bit, tilting his head a bit to crack his neck before reaching up to brush off his shoulders, now that the brawl was over.

Victory, it seemed, was very short-lived. Fauste and Cooper were not the only ones injured -- it seemed there were a good six that went down between the two berserkers, the staff beginning to escort their out of commission bodies to another cabin. There was actually a look of mild disappointment in Nuk's eyes as he noticed just who had been injured by the witch, shoving his hands into his pockets as he stared at the jack-o-lantern suffocating the nekogami with, ironically, the same first name.

Well this sucked.

Looking back around, he took a mental inventory of the rest of the students he recognized, exhaling slowly with a much less amused look on his face and flopping back down in a seat, his back to the wall, eyes swiveling around to the others.

"Twenty three suspicious students in the train, twenty suspicious students, take twelve down, knock 'em around, eleven suspicious students in the train."

(( Kasumi is not voting yet either! ))

The young monster woman sat down again after the water horse, Breic, had been successfully subdued and carried away. When she looked back at the cabin, she finally saw the carnage - six injured individuals and two culprits apprehended. Kasumi sighed, pulling clumps of hair off of her head. She'd used her hair to grab at the horse's leg, but he was much stronger than she had expected, ripping lots of her long black locks out of her skull. She scratched at it, feeling the tingling pain in her scalp. She'd been too preoccupied trying to pin the horse and didn't see everyone leaving the cabin. By Jack, how many did that make? She turned to the other students and counted heads. What, eleven left?

"I can't believe it... and still another?" she gasped quietly. She had hoped this whole ordeal was over when she asked how far it was until they got to the Academy. They were still a ways left and the skin-walker boy was right - everyone was suspicious. Pointing fingers would likely happen soon, and with so few left, the carnage could very well happen again. How many more of these attacks would there be? The monster peeled away another chunk of hair and tossed it in the nearby trashcan.

At Perlie's question, Kasumi shook her head. "I didn't see anything other than horse leg." she explained. "I feel very fortunate that I escaped being kicked but I feel terrible for those who did."

Kashiyoru made his way back to his seat. He was more than exhausted, he was exhausted and sad. His prey had suffered the consequences of dealing with a female. Kashi always figured he'd get some sort of sickness from any form of physical contact with a female. His suspicious were somewhat confirmed tonight. At the expense of one very handsome young male.

As Kashi seated himself back down he was instantly aware of the skinwalker before him. With ears flat on his head and eyes locked he tried to determine if switching prey would be worth it for a good 'romp'. But, as he thought it through, his mind wandered to the though of 'play time' with a man of Jacks caliber, only with a jack-o-lantern head. 'Creepy, yet satisfying.' he grinned to himself, before snapping back to his senses. He decided against trying to get laid and switch to finding a way to get to this damn school without a scratch on his 'lovely' body.

At least everything was quiet now, thanks to everyone having spent all their energy subduing two berserkers. Or, at least it was. Kashi had to suppress the urge to flinch when Nuk spoke up. He hadn't realized he was so deep in thought until a voice broke his concentration. That's right, five students had been rushed out of here because of the berserkers, but there was still danger around. How many psychos happened to be on this damned train. More importantly....

"How did I get stuck with all the crazies?" Kashi reached for one of his tails for comfort.

((Vic is pulling her pants up and accusing Belladonna!))

It took a few seconds for it to process in the pirate's brain that Perlie was, in fact, talking to her. The reaction was rather predictable, but fascinating all in itself. Who knew, after all, that a dreary, dead ghost's face could burn such a brilliant shade of red?

"Qu, quit peepin'!" Vic snapped. Do you need any help with that-- What sort of louse went around staring at people's unmentionables, and then asked if they wanted help? By bloody George!

If nothing else, however, the realization that she was on display (even more so than before, leastwise) convinced her to waddle her way into an empty grouping of seats to complete the deed of pants-buckling. When the task was done, she'd also managed to get her blush under control - even if she seemed a fair bit more angry with the world than usual.

"I think it was the interloping witch what did it," Vic declared suddenly. "Trying to keep me from teachin' yer mates a lesson, weren't you?" Vic may have been overlooking the fact that, if Belladonna were holding Vic off from Betty, then she probably couldn't have been strangling Feint at the same time... but hey, who knew the mysterious ways in which this bezerker might work! It was at least possible, right?

(( Kasumi is accusing Vic! ))

Kasumi appreciated the gesture. While Betty seemed to be playing the act (though hindsight is always 20/20 isn't it?), Belladonna was an ally. The monster just didn't want to think about the possibility of someone she might call friend as being the attacker. Patting the seat next to her, Kasumi invited the witch to sit. "Yes, please. I'm not that good with my hair yet, which is part of the reason why I'm going to the Academy in the first place. I didn't realize I would need to use it, much less that I'd lose so much of it. But it'll grow back eventually." the monster explained, pulling out another clump of hair. Ugh, disgusting.

When the accusations started to fly again, Kasumi did what she normally wouldn't do - get upset with another female. "That's enough! Why are you so intent on her being the one? She was pushing you away so you wouldn't kill Betty, I bet. The rest of us were trying to pin them, not hurt them. When she pushed you away, then you could have attacked that boy!" Kasumi stood, frowning intensely at the pirate. "Besides, she couldn't have attacked Faint. She was trying to pin Betty, just as I was attached to Breic. Neither one of us even had the opportunity to attack someone else, but you did. What were you up to when we were trying to subdue the attackers?"

Kasumi wouldn't stand by and let this happen again. Belladonna was friend, ally and alibi all in one.

((Nuk is leaning towards Belladonna atm -- he likes Vic's fighting spirit))

Nuk merely raised his eyebrows a little at Perlie's statement, smirking a bit at the ring of truth to the little rhyme. "Scary, isn't it?" He replied, semi-curious to the answer. Was everyone scared? He'd say the answer seemed to be yes -- panicked in fact, if everyone's reaction was any indicator. Or rather, everyone's previous reactions. Things seemed to be calming, despite how so many students had just been hauled off for one reason or another. Then again, maybe it was because of it that everything seemed less chaotic -- less students meant fewer people to keep an eye on, more chances to actually see what happened, and a greater chance of accusing the right person.

At that thought, the skinwalker's eyes shifted again, looking each and every student up and down. His glowing gaze lingered momentarily on a few choice students for various reasons -- a questioning gaze at Andrugora, a narrow-eyed stare at Kashi -- before settling on Vic, a devilish smirk curling his lips as her trousers began to slip off her hips, promptly showing off her bloomers. Of course, Nuk promptly wolf-whistled, snickering to himself as the pirate-lass blushed at the attention. Still, as he settled, he caught the start of her accusation, focus shifting back to the task at hand. Hooking an elbow over the back of the seat, the monster tilted his head at Belladonna, still not losing his smirk.

"Well, the swabby is right -- you did seem rather keen to get Betty away from everyone, bubble-butt."
