Welcome to Gaia! ::

Throughout the assembly, Tess and Legs were both there. You just didn't notice them because they weren't together. They were also both not amused or impressed.

Ditto for Petro.

“The heirs?” she uttered softly. Invictus was, from what she could see, the saner one of the four other than Lady Death. Eris and Cymbeline on the other hand....

“Perhaps, though they did attribute some of their irrational behaviour to the Insanity...” A sly grin was forming on her face. “We'll just have to find out don't we? I for one, am quite interested in what they have to offer us.”

“Would you be interested in going, if given the chance, to visit them?” she quipped, spinning her eyephone around in her hand. The ghoul took a quick glance down at the picture of their guest (who was apparently identified as one of those from Conquest's clan) before looking back up at Muka with a somewhat teasing look. Just what was going on in that mind of hers, that ghoul.

Lizzy was also there. For the whole thing. Thus she knew what was going on. Really.

After a while of seeing students angrily leaving the auditorium, she sighed and headed for a familiar looking face at the back of the room. Taking a seat beside Junko, she raised a finger...

... And poked her soulmate on her arm.

Edel had a mock incredulous look on her face as he said that. Didn't she already tell him about Moure?

“This treaty I would say.... is very convenient it seems. While I'm not too sure about the terms of agreement, I do think that it would help us to work towards a common goal.” There was no real need to spell it out was there? “However, they were deemed an extremist group for some time... which could possibly be attributed to the fact that they possess some weapon of sorts? I am not sure, but they are the horsemen of the apocalypse-” Edel paused for a moment to reconsider her words. “-this is just speculation on my part though. But observing and learning from them would be beneficial for us would it not?”

It only occurred to her just then that such an “exchange programme” would mean that they would be travelling to the islands. Walking right into the lion's den. She would have to reconsider again.

Muka snickered when she made her face. Yes, he knew about Moure, but last he'd heard nothing had yet happened and he knew all about young ghoul's interest in handsome men. He was the son of an incubus and thus nothing was really out of the question when it came to romance.

It dawned on Muka that Edel was putting a lot of thought into this. She spoke well and thought out all the angles. It was a habit he didn't have. He didn't quite understand the nuances of politics.

"You should run for office." His teeth clacked and he giggled. "I doubt anything terrible could happen to us if we went there. It's a treaty right?" Despite all the promises of safety at the school, which then followed by attacks, Muka still had faith (no matter how unfounded) in the institution and considered them to be well-meaning.

“Run for office?” she chuckled at his wild suggestion, “I'm far too inexperienced and not influential enough for any post.” It was true, there wasn't much she could do in her current position. That could change though, she thought to herself, quickly recalling the things she intended to do about it this new year.

“The last thing I'd want to do would be to trust that school field trips are safe,” she spoke a little more sternly this time, “Surely you have heard what had happened.” She tilted her head towards the strix, her gaze uncompromising. “The school is not safe,” she said simply.

“A treaty that grants us protection... what do you think they want from us? Minions? Support?” A quick glance was given to Invictus. The horsemen heirs had mentioned army before, and the Four Clans were once considered extremists. Ah, this treaty was sounding fishier as she gave more thought to it. Call it paranoia, whatever. She had every right to be. But the fact was that the Four Clans were offering to do something about the situation, much unlike what Halloween and their boogeymen were doing. Edel closed her eyes and rubbed her temples rather irritably. The more she delved into it, the more confusing it got. There was, quite basically, a lack of information. Some of her questions about the whole “exchange programme” had already been raised by others, so she would just had to sit back and wait for the answers. Edel exhaled and smiled weakly at Muka. She wished she knew what she should do.

"Other schools, too? I wonder how hey fared..." Junko whispered quietly, snuggling close to her friend despite the seat arm between them. She didn't care! "I don't really know the horsemen heirs well...I've seen Invictus around, and the only experience I have with Asia was in a class. And..and Cymbeline..." She shuddered. She didn't want to think about her first and only impression of Miss Famine.

As for being invited? She had no idea. Did they really have a choice in the matter? The students, that is. Did the students get any say in this. She shrugged. "Do you think we should uh..mention this? For those who aren't here?" Junko asked in a hushed voice only Lizzy could hear, glowing green eyes turning up toward her friend.
