Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once a fairly safe distance away from the immediate battle, the boil turned his back to a wall. One, so he could lean against it, but also so no further sneak attacks could take him unawares. That had be an absolute sneaky tactic on the reapers part. Then again, Seiji was left wondering why exactly he'd assumed the enemy would fight fairly in the first place. Probably something to do with honor.. Regardless, he wasn't about to leave himself that open again.

Looking down at the whisp in his arms he was met was overly wide eyes and a look so close to terrified it wilted the reassuring smile that forming on dry lips. "Hey, it's ok." What was that look about? "You looked kinda stunned, I didn't want you to get stepped on attacked." Finally a worried little frown tugged at the corners of his mouth. "You ok?"

Tomoko had laid on the floor for a moment after her not-so-graceful decent to the floor, frowning and furrowing her brows together a bit before she got up again....... just to right back down to the floor. Frankly all the hitting of the floor was becoming less an less exciting for Tomoko's poor head.

Said poor head that really was getting tired of getting up and jarred all over.

Which may have been when she passed out on second contact.

Tomoko has 18 HP.

Tomoko has passed out.

From the corner of her eye she could see Seiji moving the small weaker ghost to a safe corner. Her eyes resting subtly on his glistening back, all covered in blood and perspiration. She casually chewed her finger nail in temptation, distracted entirely from the fight as she allowed her mind to wander. It was going so well, she was nearly down to her nail bed, until the ghost moved slightly out of her range and Jove instead took the main view. "Heh, weak in nature, weak in battle". Sarias would have left the helpless thing to get finished off but at least Seiji was looking out for his own kind . She tutted at the Jikininki, his heart over ruling his actions. There were chances to land blows upon their enemy while he played babysitter to this sorry excuse of a ghost. Timing her movements she ran across the room till she slid to a standstill, a smooth fluid movement that was out of place graceful in the moment of madness.

"How is he?" Her hand came to rest on Jove shoulder briefly, voice mocking feeling as she bent down. Mainly because she wanted a better look at Seiji's face and...body. From this vantage point she could see all and her eyes held no secret of what she was doing.

"You know he will be safe here...we could double team this guy you know? Together?" Her mouth played with the sounds of the words until they came out sweet and seductive, dripping like honey as she looked him up and down. She wasn't interested in him, but who says she couldn't do a little sight seeing. Hey she could be extinguished to the next life in a moments notice. Who would object to a little eye candy.

Aurian gave a bright grin when the enemy Reaper dropped one of his weapons. Part of her wanted to cheer and dance, but it was firmly held in check for the moment by her all-business all-Reaping side. Their enemy was down, but he wasn't gone yet, so Aurian couldn't put aside her serious persona yet.

She was still caught unawares by the sneak attack, as the fallen tonfa attacked them from behind. Knocked to the ground, she struggled to get back up. She couldn't leave things like this - the enemy was not as injured as he'd been pretending, and Aurian and her friends were still in danger. It took several tries, but eventually she pushed herself back onto her feet. She swayed dangerously in place. By force of will alone, Aurian remained standing.

"That was not very nice," she said, glaring at their opponent. For someone who spoke so confidently about being untouchable, he sure seemed to rely on sneak attacks to damage a group of students. "I think you're not as powerful as you want to us to believe."

Readying her weapon, Aurian charged the Reaper. She was slower than before, and weaving slightly as she ran towards him. Despite that, her strike was true. She drove one end of the metal pipe into the Reaper's stomach, using her makeshift weapon like the butt of a spear, instead of a sword or bat as she usually did. The result was less effective than normal, but at least the hit made it past the Reaper's defenses.

Aurian moved back out of range before the enemy could retaliate. She positioned herself between the enemy Reaper and some of the fallen students, including Damien and Saviour. "Are you alright?" she asked her friends over her shoulder.

As his fellow students attacked the reaper and took some other students away from battle, Rosc moved to kneel at Sin's side, turning her over and pulling her up slightly. His wings curled slightly around them as he went to try and wake her back up.
No, this wasn't the place to try and wake her up, too much action, too much risk. So he scooped her up and moved away from everyone else. He didn't leave the area, but he took her out of range (Or at least what he thought was out of range).

"Sin, wake up," he said, smoothing her hair from her face and gave her a little shake.

Rosc paused as she started to stir, watching intently as she shook her head and rested it against his shoulder. He wrapped his arms and wings around her, tilting his head so that he could keep an eye on the fight.

"No, the reaper's still here..." he replied, rubbing his thumb against her arm. He wished the reaper would go away. No, what he really wanted was for this trip to be over, to be back at school where there was at least some semblance of safety. Much as he liked holding Sin like this and getting to spend time with her, he couldn't say that he disliked her friends being around, either, as pleasant as sailing was, he was sick of this trip. He'd much rather have the experiences on his own terms, not with a bunch of psychotic reapers breathing down their necks.

He smirked a bit.
"And you're gorgeous, but now's really not the time for that," he replied, moving a hand to touch her cheek.

Holly had tried to hit the reaper thing near the end like all the others. Her try did not hit it but it seemed that the other students did finish it off she hoped. Oh how she wished her hit landed!

The ghoul looked around and saw a few others on the floor. Savior? "Savior, are you okay?" Well of course she wasn't and who knew if the other ghoul even knew what Holly even said. The ghost went over and kneeled down next to the Marrowstripe. "What do ya normally do to feel better??" She wondered if there was anything special to be done.

Another one of the reaper's attacks sent Alcyone flying back and hitting one of the walls. Sliding down to the floor, the water demon was completely knocked out for a few seconds. When she finally came to she realized that she was paralyzed and that all she could do was sit there slumped against the wall and watch the rest of the fight played out. This was the most horrible thing that could happen to her. She absolutely hated having to sit back and be unable to do anything. Now she was just going to be a liability and as much as she fought, she couldn't bring herself to get up and get back into the fight.
