Welcome to Gaia! ::

Braum nodded, letting Io return to her brother and Corbin go. Casting a glance over his shoulder, he wondered where Belladonna was. They'd been held up recently, maybe she'd had enough time to catch up? Ah, but he shouldn't have bothered, as his phone vibrated and he checked it. His face was strained with something he couldn't identify himself, and his eyes grew cold. He had held them up for THIS? The raum was furious. At both himself, and Belladonna, and whomever else might have been involved. The words "Candy Cane Lane" really just shouldn't have been uttered to him at all. Period.

Before Yaya had enough time to even recover from Corbin handing her over, he swooped up the girl, curling his wings around her and stalking forward angrily.

"That jack-damned fool.....I tell her to be safe and what does she do? Slap my worry back in my face and go down the most DANGEROUS path she can manage. Tell me, Hadiyya, why must women do the exact OPPOSITE of what you tell them to do? HM!?!?" he grumbled, obviously not waiting any longer in his incensed anger, and casting a stern look at those left from his original group, letting them know it was time for them to all catch up. He was now part of the stragglers. He'd given up his position of authority to buy her time and THIS was how she'd repayed him? Making him look like a fool, waiting on his lady love, and potentially endangering others to do so?

He knew he wouldn't, couldn't, be angry forever, but the bird's feathers were certainly ruffled right now. With no care to the state of his wings, he flapped them three times, gaining lift, and got more height than he would have in the woods due to the mountain's updraft. Angling his body and shielding Yaya from the cold as best he could, he flapped his wings once powerfully and dashed off down the pathway, towards his final destination.

Christmas Town.
((Braum Out. ))

As it collapsed into the snow, the yeti grumbled it's last words, "...have nice day...please use Yeti Yule Tours on next visi...." A complimentary giftbag tumbled from it's hand.

HP: 0
LOOT:

Alwine picked up the parcel and held it close to her chest.

"I promise, Mr. Yeti... next time I return, I'll use Yeti Yule Tours. You can count on it."

Alwine turned towards the group before trudging through the snow, her opponent a silhouette in the too-white snow. It almost made the haunt look... epic.

"I hope I didn't hold anyone up!" Alwine offered as she looked over the group. "At least Barth's catching up on his sleep... that's awfully nice of you, West."

Alwine gave Barth a pinch on the cheek before stashing the parcel in her carpetbag with her peppermint points.

Eracs had gotten ahead of him, he'd had to stop as his form shifted. Well this wasn't good...he and Draven were both in there animal forms. Dragging his own pack he had Draven's about a front paw and was dragging it as he moved.

Nearly tripping over it as he walked Alerick finally did trip and face plant right into the snow with a yelp as he hit the snow face first. That hurt!

When he got up the werewolf continued on the path until he made it to the exit of the tril and looked down. He'd arrived...finally! Howling in excitement he tried to fun, to the best of his ability given the packs and such.

(Sorry for the editing. Was checking for posts for when I started here and only just found when I got into this area for sure. ::nods:: )

"Well, um..." Alwine trailed off. She didn't want to call attention to it anymore if he wanted to dismiss it. "I know I couldn't carry him. I tried to drag him once on the train, and he's heavier than it looks... no offense, Barth."

She walked beside the Avarice Demon before shaking her neck. "I'm just glad that I didn't get massacred again. I was starting to regret not bringing a weapon, you know..."

It was true. Alwine had been obliterated before she could heal a single person in the battle against the ninja. At remembering this, Alwine waved her Carol of the Bells over herself.

"How is your cannon doing? Do you need any healing?"

Alwine's HP: 22

Alwine practically glowed when Colette complimented her. Even though they didn't agree on many things, and Alwine was certain that Colette disliked the haunt's dreadful personality, she knew that she was a great fighter. She saw how well she treated her swords, and she watched her battle countless lecherous trees.

It didn't take much to compliment Alwine, and Colette's words made the girl flush at her neckline. She almost wasn't sure how to respond, and at first could only muster a quiet, "Thank you."

Alwine felt a little self-conscious with all of this attention. She was so used to being a wallflower that she was surprised that anyone had seen her fight.

"Thank you all. I tried to tell the yeti to leave me alone, but he wouldn't listen... he really must've needed the business."

The cold was starting to bother him. Though he was thankful he had picked a long sleeves under shirt for his jacket, he was finding that it just wasn't keeping the cold out as best it should. Ah well, his jacket went to a good cause; namely, keeping Io from freezing more than needed. Ghouls, especially hurt ones, needed to be looked after. And he was thankful to see that she would be. And so would the other ghoul who Braum knew.

As new students came, he saw battles come and go before he noticed the bright lights and puke inducing JOY aura that had to only be one place. At LAST... the end was in sight!

((Off to Christmas TORTURE!))

Mandy was glad to see Winnies fighting spirit was back, she'd shown it on the train but when faced with that Ninja she had frozen. Maybe it was the level, the Ninja had been way more powerful the Yeti. Still, she did good and Mandy made sure to tell her, "Good fighting Winnie, the tours probably sucked anyway. What's to see around here."

That done she gave a look towards the boil caring Barth, West wasn't it? Seeing how uncomfortable he was about the attention to his new job she gave him an encouraging smile and gesturing to the two tents on her back told him, slightly exasperated, "Don't worry, your not the only one being his pack mule."

She still wasn't entirely sure how she'd ended up the tent again after the fight.
