Welcome to Gaia! ::

Canon was beside herself over the compliment. Not only was Riley strong, but she showed an interest in her family's research! Once seized upon one of her favorite topics, the little Skark wasn't likely to let go.

"My Uncle Rach Moninoff agrees with you! The family has to limit how many humans he gets to hold underwater, cause he always keeps them under too long on the first try! The rest of the family prefers to let them up after a bit, let them run away a little and regain their breath, then do the whole thing over again. And in the family isn't really hungry, they usually let them go after awhile. The humans that leave sometimes bring back other ones with guns! Oh, the battles the family would get into when that happened!"

Clearly these were all very fond memories for Canon. Her eye had rolled up to the Halloween moon, and was staring at it dreamily. She seemed to shake herself from her reverie. With a happy jump, she reached out and took one of Riley's hands in her own.

"You should come and give it a try sometime! I'm sure the family would love to have a guest over! And I could give you some antidote beforehand so the family doesn't melt your body on accident!"

The sharp barb on the end of her tail nodded as if in agreement.

Yin was mainly just glad to see the boil was safe. A first year, and just...well anyone he knew really. He rather liked people he knew being safe. "Um, I am not really sure what this is but I followed one of the Trick or Treaters?" The crowd really did make him feel slightly uncomfortable, but at least with so many pressed around he did not have to worry about him being singled out.

The appearance of the woman, one of the horsewomen from the class he had taken, surprised him. Flushing he very carefully tried to focus not on her, or at least on her face, half tempted to see if she wanted to borrow his shirt. "G-Greetings," he somehow managed to say.

He nodded a little as the boil spoke, unaware that his ear was about to be held prisoner until he actually felt the nails against his tender ear. He yanked it away with a turn of his head to narrow his eyes at the horsewoman. "I see you haven't changed the way you dress at all," he replied with a teasing tone. Honestly, he didn't mind it since he did believe her when she said she was more of a dancer than a lady of the night. It put him at ease, in a way. He didn't want to have to worry about someone stealing something from him. Ladies of the night did that, didn't they? They stole and lied and cheated to get what they wanted.

Lifen was honest, if nothing else. "Yin, this is Lifen. Lifen, this is Yin. He's a friend of mine." He looked to the boil's face and noticed the flush. He wasn't going to tease the poor, skittish Yin about it, though. His reaction had been pretty similar, minus a few ill spoken words.

Kettil watched Hel get involved even after he tried to get Freya to leave Shun alone as well and then she called Kettil the boil toy again and his expression didn't change much except his smile had a more of a an angry tinge to it.

He was no one's toy. Kettil just stared at Hel and shook his head refusing her bait after that, "Mmm, Freya already told me, Vúuru. If you wish to teach me other things, though I am willing to listen."

Maybe.

Hel might have a lot of 'trash' on her Sister but Kettil didn't seem to care one way or the other.

Than very well remembered this place from last year, only it didn't look quite like last years. Last years had been muchmuchmuch scarier in the pup's memory. Taking a deeeeeeeeeep long breath in, and then exhaling with an even more dramatic motion, he curled his clawed digits 'round Aksaja's wrist, and also took the chimera's hand, seeking her long, delicate fingers with his own stubbier ones. He was more familiar with the two of them, having just met Yosuke today, but truth be told had he been gifted with another hand it would likely have grabbed the Ittan-momen as well.

"Than likes the cherrybright patterns." He murmured, good eye still affixed to the exotic boil. "Than most definitely-definitely wishes he was having some. But he does not think that he could stitchings on-like." It was rather disappointed, tail flickering to and fro behind him in a fascinated manner. The mutt rather thought that such an addition was a vast improvement upon such things as his own eyepatch, or the shining line of baubles that adorned his horns. Ah, but alas, a pup with an eye for fancies couldn't have everything.

Leaning over to nuzzle at Merry a bit, returning the affections that the ghoul had lavished upon him moments before, Than seemed satisfied that all of his friends were now friends, and the festivities could proceed. Tugging gently at the two Halloweeners in his grasp, he began to enter the lauded house of human horrors. Somewhere, he vaguely remembered that glitter tended to make him sneeze, but the notion was squashed 'neath sheer enthusiasm.

"Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!~" He sing-songed.

Welcome to darkness and glitter, and glam rock. Truly terrifying. Were those mirrors? Somewhere, Than remembered the mirrors.

Before things could get too heated, Hel had stepped in to try and get Freya to back down. Shun shot the younger Valkyrie a glance.

"You don't need to call her off of me," he muttered under his breath. The use of boy toy in reference to Kettil did had him raise an eyebrow though. Shouldn't that be more of... Herryk's title? Though, he soon felt a buzz in his pocket. It was too noisy around for him to hear the ring tone, but that could have only been his phone. Scoffing, he dismissed his daggers and went on to answer. Ah! It was Mitsu.



The reaper began to look around for the lycan. While she was fairly distinctive, she wasn't the tallest one around, which may make it difficult to spot her.

"I'm...." Mitsu looked this way and what trying to determine her location. "I'm just outside the crowd." Because she really wasn't willing to move forward. Not without someone with her.

It was hard to keep to the darker places since they were few and far between. With all the pumpkins sitting around lit up the entire area was bathed in a warm light. It made hiding difficult.
