There was a hand around his wrist. West might have reacted with more negativity if he hadn't looked up to see a ghoul who, until a few seconds ago, had been mostly whole, but was now fading away into the grotesquely sunny air. His own left foot, the closest of his appendages to the road, was looking a bit paler as well. "Oh," West said, stepping back a bit closer to the lightning dragon. He didn't thank Aksaja for saving him from himself or anything, but the ferocity with which he reclaimed his wrist was noticeably less angry than it might have been otherwise.

Draven made the right choice, in staying back. In fact, as he stepped one more step back, his food suddenly hit something with an audible crunch.
Wait a second, wasn't that Maladore's knife he had thrown at the bus that was currently half-buried under Draven's foot?

Riley practically picked up Sammy, cuddling her close to her chest as she dragged the ghoul back to the cemetary. Come on, come onnn, she muttered, letting out a relieved breath when Sammy's body began to re-materialize. She set the ghoul back on her feet, and turned to glare at the roadway angrily.
We need to know what's happening once we pass that area. Where did the scalpel go? She watched Aymet head unknowingly for the highway, and reached a tentacle out to wrap around him and force him back to the group.
Noo you don't. That's not safe. At least.. she eyed his wings, remembering their class together. Not for all of us.
Her mind was working at exceptional speeds, as a plan formulated, and a theory required proving.
Aymet. Give me your arm.
Her eyes caught sight of the scalpel, and narrowed victoriously. She hissed a soft yess under her breath. This could work..

"The girl did mention this was a cemetary," agreed Jericho while looking towards the tombstones and whatnot. Then, looking down, he tried to pick up a clump of dirt. If they stood on the ground maybe they could pick it up as well. Otherwise he wasn't sure how they were going to bring any of this place over.
It at least was a relief to see that Riley and Sammy were not disappearing so much anymore, but he was rather curious how they were able to speak at first.

Well, at least Jericho was listening. Nodding to the other dragon, Aksaja also tried to grab some dirt, watching his hand closely to see what might happen . . .

As astra continued to walk away from the cemetery, she noticed sammy whom, for some reason, was starting ti disappear..wait, that wasn't right...Looking at her own hands, she was startled to see that they were fading away too! And the farther away she walked, the worse it got!
She turned around to run back to the group, but noticed that someone had followed her. "We need to go back!" Astra said to Aymet, "or we'll disappear!" Grabbing one of his hands, she tried to pull him back with her. Which was alot harder then it looked, since she was only half his height.

In the midst of Lilith's worry about her hand, she held tightly onto her soul orb. She looked around at the students, there had to be someone. Something. Her eyes slowly gazed around, and towards the the area away from the graveyard. Her eyes widened as she seen what she seen. Her sloth demon! Well, what she thought was her sloth demon. He was disappearing! No! She didn't hear anything anyone else said.
"Bartholomew!" She yelled as she ran towards him. She had never ran so fast. She had to do it as fast as she could as her own self began to disappear. She grabbed onto what she could and pulled on him until he began to come with her, and then proceeded to drag the sloth demon back before they both disappeared.
----------
Lucien seen Lilith, and the shiny orb she had with her. Before he noticed anything, he found himself following her back as well.

Sadly Jericho could not even pick up that clump of dirt. He could touch the dirt itself, or where the ground might have been, but beyond that, he was physically (or immaterially) unable to actually move anything.
The other dragon, Aksaja would find themselves in a very similar predicament.

Tugged into Riley's form Sammy could only cling. Never mind the fact she was nestled between well, some of Riley's finest features. She was still coming to grasp with the whole 'you nearly stopped existing'. When Riley did release her she stumbled ever so slightly before grabbing back at Riley's hand, something solid to hold onto. "Okay. That was a bad idea I suapose." She turned watching Riley offer her other hand now to Aymet. "What's the plan now?" She mumbled.

"This isn't the time to accessorize, Riley!" he complained, but popped his left arm out of its socket and sleeve, and pressed it into her outstretched hand. Riley was left with a bony arm that writhed and moved a little in her grasp. He did owe her (and Astra!) for pulling him away from the freeway.

Draven looked down. He'd just stepped on something. What was that?
"Oh," he said as he moved to pick it up. "This is..." he'd just seen this. That student with the hat had just thrown this at the large metal thing-and it had disappeared. So what was it doing under his foot?
"I think I found something!" he said as he lifted the knife and turned to show it to Maladore.

Seeing the other students dive for the dirt, Christof immediately attempted to follow suit with his shovel, curious if that had any better results.

Aksaja frowned at that. Well, that plan didn't work. Glancing over toward the others, he saw Aymet hand Riley . . . his arm. Okaaaay that was weird, why did it COME OFF?? Well, uh. There were some weird students here. Whatever.
Tilting head a bit, the lightning dragon watched Riley, waiting to see what she was going to do with the now-detached appendage.

Riley would have grinned at Aymet, if she could. She took the arm without a second thought, and then weighed it in her hands lightly. It would take a strong heave, but she felt she could manage.
She got as close to the edge of the cemetary as she felt was safe, before she held the arm up at a strange angle. One, two, three times she turned before sending the arm sailing like a lance over the highway completely, headed for the glint in the trees across the way.
Here goes nothing. She muttered, watching it's trajectory carefully.

"Ah - my blade! Grazie," Malodore said with relief, accepting the scalpel back from Draven. But that was strange. How had it gotten back here? This whole thing had the plague doctor rather worried... for now, it hung back and watched Riley, tensing slightly. The ithilid clearly had a plan...
