Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh hey, look who decided to show up. TG you missed the party." Andrew waved his flaming key blade at the imp. "We just fought one that was bout 20 feet tall." never mind that he spent most of his time hiding behind someone.

"Maple what are you doing? Why are you healing the dog thing?" why was Danny petting him? Didn't she know that those teeth could take her hand off.

"Oh you know, everything is being eaten at random by those things. Setting stuff on fire. Stuff like that. Grab one of the keys they seem to be helping." it sure made his fire a lot easier to summon. He wasn't sure that they needed to fight anymore, but... he wasn't one to take chances, besides the key things were cool. He finished off his cookie.

Andrew had no idea who or what Annabel was.

Maple found herself startled by Andrew's accusing tone. Her hands instantly around the handle of her keyblade as she held in close in a sort of defense mechanism. Had she not done something right? But Damien had finished off the monster and.. he looked tired .. and that dread of something coming! Tears were beginning to threaten their way out. "b-but... h-he.. n-needed .. it..."

The ghouls sniffled a little, cursing her luck if she had in fact done the worst thing ever .. when she noticed TG, who was striking up a conversation with Andrew. Who was explaining everything like it was an everyday occurrence. The little imp had the Most. Amazing. Horns. Ever. (or at least, was one her top five)

There was a distressed ghoul in their midst. Oh no. Junko turned on her heel when she heard sniffing and stuttering, gasping quietly when she spotted the little reaper ghoul on the verge of tears. Oh no! "Ah! No, no." Junko hurried over to the ghoul and offered her a hug. "You did very well, sweet thing. Thank you for helping Demi, he really did need it." She cooed quietly to the ghoul, giving her a bright smile. "Don't cry! You were a good ghoul."

Junko, she's not a minipet. Stop it.

Except it tore at Junko's heart to see a ghoul like this.

Maple was really caught at an impasse of falling into more distress over her questionable decision to help and well, staring at TG. Andrew seemed to be letting it go, while of course her mind was over analyzing it all (and thinking TG's horns were amazing). The tears had yet to leak out but they were still there at the tips of her ducts, in waiting.

She shot another pained look at Andrew after getting a robust thanks from the fellow she had healed (see, he was happy about it!) Already, maybe Maple was starting to feel better about herself when arms wrapped her. It was such a nice feeling, something she missed when things went wrong. "I j-just w-wanted t-to.. help.. " she told Junko, her tone still caught in distress and relief.

Everyone else thought she did a good job - wow, for once, that was a weird feeling, hopefully karma wasn't going to come eat her or something - why did Andrew have to be so mean to her?

"One of them bite that guy's hand clean off." he waved a hand at Argyle. "I wouldn't be surprised if they ate who ever you are talking about." Hummm they might have gotten back into his room and eaten more of his stuff. Andrew didn't like that idea. Oh well there was nothing for it now.

"One of them even tried to eat me. I think it chipped my horn." not that anyone could tell as his horns were pretty short to begin with.

Damien was going to take back the mental compliment, Danny's cousin was on his own level of horrible that equaled his relative. "Ill remember that when you're unaware and I'll kick you into a source of running water, that you'll probably be fine." he seethed from his lips. there was no excuse on making a ghoul cry. That was rule number two in his personal values book. It was another fire creature that just had to rub his fur the wrong way, this time in the more figurative sense than literal.

But the boil really wasn't worth anymore time, there were preparations to be done and morale to be boosted. "You are helping doll, really!" he insisted to Maple, giving her a tiny nudge. "Just do all that you can and you will be fine, there are plenty of students here to help each other, so keep that chin up."


Junko had it under control, she was far better at the consoling that him as he said his piece and shuffled back to the give the ghouls some space.

"It's not a bad idea! How would you even know if you haven't tried it?" This was advice that Thackery would never follow, considering all the things he refused to do, so there was no real reason for him to argue for his tactic. Except that it was his so that made it best.

"And I'm not the only one - there are a bunch! Probably! We saved people with friendship before! So...yeah. It doesn't work like you want me to make it work, though. You've gotta think out of the box more! Or make things work from inside you and stuff! Also, I don't wanna kiss either of you, 'cause I don't know you and this is not a romantic place for kisses and I'm not getting in the middle of..." Whatever it was that they had going on. He looked from one to the other and just shrugged a little.

He might have babbled on for an entire novel's length with broken reasoning had the student he was protecting not piped up behind him.

"Well, uh..." Brows knit, he glanced back at the boil. Nobody had ever been so forward about not liking him for something so silly. "That's okay. Because I'm a Cerberus. We're better than regular dogs!"

He shifted to block a blow from their enemy, and let them past when they seemed ready to attack again. He opted to mentally pat himself on the head instead of actually doing it.
