Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xiu was absolutely horrified by what had just occurred. Just what kind of sex ed class was this?! What kind of teacher devoured her own student and talked about eating scarelings and...and...

It was fortunate that the student was puked back up (though it was still quite a disturbing sight), and for a while, the Baku had thought that maybe that would be the extent of frightening things to happen in this class. Sure, eating her student was a little extreme, but Cricket had been teaching them a lesson about misbehaving...right? She let herself relax...

And then a pumpkin was exploded right in front of them.

Xiu immediately cupped her hands over her mouth, her eyes wide with horror. It looked like everyone had been pelted with some of the pumpkin guts, and she was no exception. When she felt something slimy sliding down her arm, she looked at it shakily, only to yelp and try to wipe off whatever she could. Fortunately for her, the pumpkin remnants suddenly began to fade before her eyes, disappearing altogether within a few seconds. A quick look around the class determined that the same had happened to all the pieces and splatter.

Without speaking, Xiu reached out and wrapped--or tried to wrap--her small arms around Lizzy, Tess (never mind that she didn't actually know her), Mot, and whoever else was in that vicinity into a hug. Well really, it was more like she was clinging to them, especially to the pink-haired demoness.

This was the most traumatizing class ever.

What ever argument was going on between Sammy and Siddie it was quickly side tracked by an exploding pumpkin, Bul being spewed onto the floor and the pumpkin simply vanishing into nothing but fear. All of it happened quickly far to quickly for an already confused and startled Sammy to handle. Tumbling from her chair when the pumpkin first exploded she remained on the floor confused and staring wide eyes at the ceiling.

"W-would someone, someone explain what the jack-dammit-all is going on in here?" It was worse then when Emily came storming into the first Sex Ed lesson.

Amphi sat back as she watched the horsewoman go forward. She crinkled her nose in displeasure as she watched the woman grab the pumpkin and caused it to explode, nothing remained but the popping noise and the students expressions.

Shrugging she turned to stare at Aisa before frowning, "I don't get what your demonstration was to prove besides the fact that you killed a pumpkin." Amphi didn't see that as a big deal at all actually, if the pumpkin had been a true scarling, Amphi would think that some higher power would've interfered, even it was horsemen of Death. "No Offense, but was it necessary to blow up the pumpkin? or is that the idea of the class? To blow up pumpkins? Is this suppose to be a magic class?" She turned to the horsewoman and then Nurse cricket, a look of confused curiosity mottled her features.

"Or blow them up," Roch agreed in a whisper, raising an eyebrow slightly and daring to touch his hair. At least it felt clean enough, he though calmly. He had passed the stage of panic and come out the other side. "But," he whispered a bit hopefully, "they'll probably never get to the sex talk at this rate."

The nurse practically crooned at the lovely mess Aisa had made, smiling in a knowing manner. "Beautiful, simply beautiful. Very succinct."

Cricket's attention turned sharply to Sammy when she spoke out of turn, the ghost's voice dimming to this quiet tone. There was something more menacing about it than when she'd come storming in to the classroom in a rage. The nurse approached the undead girl's desk and leaned on it, tilting her head down at her.

"You are pressing you luck, young lady. Between this outburst and how pleasant you were picking fights in my last one, you should count your blessings I have not deemed it necessary to.... test the boundaries of what types of punishments I am allowed to give students." she said, her voice thick, but soft spoken. If she hadn't been pressing her bounds by devouring Bul, it may have been safe to say she was capable of worse.

Much worse.

"Now sit and pay attention instead of playing grabass. Maybe you will learn something."

There was a pause as she looked to Bul, seeming to have completely bypassed the fact she'd vomited him, more or less, up not too long beforehand.

She simply smiled an almost sickly smile. She was obviously in a good mood after having thrown much of the student-boy into a panic about being in her classroom at all.

"I believe you all know what happens to those students who try to eat each other, yes?" she asked, looking over the students. "For those who don't, you explode into particles of FEAR, and then I have to put you back together again." The nurse shrugged and continued to walk, waving one hand in a nonchalant manner.

"When you students start bunking in each other's dorms and finding it proper to... I believe the term I have heard used most recently was 'snogging', though others such as 'screwing' 'fornicating', and other such...grotesque terms for the 'mating' act have been used previously, for those who aren't familiar with the first, you have taken too much certainty in the fact you won't end up with a pumpkin all of your very own." Cricket turned to the mermaid girl, Amphi and walked over, leaning over her desk as well, still seeming to be amused. "And even your kind do get a pumpkin when they visit the pumpkin patch, under the ocean or not," she stood up again and again began to walk, "but just because you will not end up with the baggage of a child, does not mean you cannot cause other bad things to happen."

Cricket picked up one of the larger (as in the side of her forearm, larger) insects on the floor, it throbbing and squirming in her cold ectoplasmic hold before she turned it, belly first, towards the class.

"When I was in school, one such unfortunate pair managed to cause each other to break apart and mold from..." she paused, drawing her finger from the base of the grub like creature, up to about what would have been the bottom of the ribcage on any humanoid, "there to there. Because they couldn't. Keep it. In their pants.

I'm talking about disease, and other such horrible..rancid..nasty things." she paced purposefully, placing the grub on her desk, before looking to her lovely assistant, Aisa once again. "All from that same amount of FEAR transfer, yes? Or did you use less than the amount needed to infect a second party? Because it really should take quite little without the proper care or preventative measures to utterly destroy another student. And unlike limbs, body reformation, and other things, recovering from FEARinfections are long and painful processes. You do not FEARheal them. More FEAR on an infection.. well...

it only makes it worse."

Sammy raised a finger towards the ghost leaning on her desk ready to declare that Braum was a pile of worthless crap who should have been punched square in the face when she had the chance too. She also would have pointed out that Braum tried to cheat on a homework assignment. Then she noticed Bul in the corner of her eye and decided that would be a horrible horrible idea that would most likely result in her becoming a snack for the ghost nurse as well.

Instead she stood up, fixed her chair and sat down placing her chin on her arms and rested on the desk quietly watching Cricket. Her own face actually managing to change color as the term 'snogging' was brought up again. Well it seemed her outburst had sufficently outed what her and Siddie might have done on the weekends...

... and that it could lead to turning into a moldy infected puss ball which caused Sammy to glance at Siddie with the untmost horrified look of:

Oh dear Jack what have we possibly done.

Junko just stared, horror washed completely over her face. Aisa. Exploded. A. Pumpkin. Why. Why?! That was just a horrible demonstration! Her grip on Seiji's arm tightened considerably, watching Cricket like a puppy that'd been kicked and fearing she was going to be kicked again. When they started...bunking in other dorms? Wait, just...just sleeping in other dorms did the trick?! But Junko had been spending the night with friends almost all year and nothing! Maybe it was time to stop pushing her luck. Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter as Cricket's lecture carried on, eyes darting to Seiji every now and then. Snogging. Screwing. Fornicating. Mating. Oh, Jack. She sunk lower in her chair, whining quietly. She was never spending the night with a friend again. No way. Hell no. She was not risking a pumpkin. "But...but wait! Don't you have to physically go..to the pumpkin patch?" Junko asked in a panic, her hair hanging limp and curtaining around her. She didn't want a pumpkin just because she'd grown accustomed to sleeping with someone beside her! She liked sharing a bed with her friends, with her boilfriend! She didn't do things! She just...she just liked having that extra comfort! Oh, Jack. What had she done?!

Wait, that wasn't the worst news?

WHAT?! Junko's face blanched, staring at where Cricket was gesturing to.

Never. Again.

While she was busy freaking out Aislin had stuck her finger through Junko's cheek and the ghoul squeaked out with surprise, scrambling to get away from her. In Junko's panic and worry-riddled mind it was an attack...or a bug. She was not touching Cricket's bugs. "Getawaygetawaygetaway." She whined, putting a hand on the cheek that'd been touched. Oh...it was just Aislin. Junko pouted at her and glanced at Cricket again. She really wished she hadn't come now.

Mot confirmed a fact he had already know, that he really should not have come here. Mot watched the nurse pace the classroom, speaking of things he cared not to hear. His hand gripped the table edges, his stomach turning in disgust. He knew what mating was, sure, but not about all this exploding crap, or mold and fungus growing. Just. So. Gross.

Mot's eyes darted to where Lizzy and his friends sat briefly before returning his sights to Nurse Cricket.
