So Astra was here too. That made the gryphon happy to see she was doing just fine. Tahki let off a small purr in greeting. Language might be beyond her right at this moment but she could still show how she was feeling. And right now she was feeling proud as a gryphon should.
A strange new voice caught the gryphons ears as well. Another student caught her golden eye, one she hadn't run into before. Tahki gave the stranger a friendly warm chirp in thanks.
Boy did the gryphon miss speaking. Communication wasn't so far out of her grasp with sounds and body language but it was a pain to have to constantly communicate in such a primitive way. The desire to go back to halloween town and be in full humaniod for account grasped her good and hard for a moment as her ears lowered.

Well this was a first. There was clear tension in the air the millisecond after the Pricolici spoke, a slight pause following as they all processed that. No one said anything, but it was obvious they all had caught it by the way the awkwardness seeped into everything. Even Nuk lifted his non-existant eyebrows as Shehk proclaimed him to be hiss, turning his head slowly to look at her from where she was perched on his back. Completely-black eyes stared up at her, locked onto hers instead of the usual lookover he might have given any time else, and although it was clearly impossible due to his canid form, he looked like he was saying 'orly?' This was the first real time Shehk had given irrefutable evidence that she liked him, and the possessiveness pleased him a bit, although it was weird that it wasn't the other way around. Even if she could argue that she had meant it PURELY in a mount-claiming way, that wasn't how either Sammy nor he took it.
Completely unblinking, his eyes also followed her through the arc as she leaped off his back, his nose bouncing a bit as she hit the snow, as if wincing a bit. His head turned slowly as she started to walk away as well, blinking only when she asked if they knew where they were going, still unmoving. It wasn't until Sammy scrambled towards him and onto his back that he looked away, for the moment ignoring Shehk's question, preoccupied by the Zombie that had taken her place.
Well that was just not possible. No one could take Shehk's place.
Lifting his once again to his back, he gave Sammy a skeptical, questioning look as she jumped on. Looking her up and down, he gave her what was clearly a doggy smirk before promptly sitting down, dumping her off his back. He gave the Zombie another audible exhale, still doggy-smirking as he got up and started after Shehk, walking past her and nudging his nose in the right direction, clearly amused.

Sammy was of course still slightly distracted by the recent staring contest when Nuk finally gave her the doggy smirk. Turning back she tilted her head slightly at his face raising an eyebrow, what was he thinking at that moment? It was impossible to read him or Shehk when they were like this. Suddenly the face was clear he was smir-
"Oofm!" Bag and zombie tumbled into snow as Nuk stood and slid Sammy off his back. She fed him Jerky, and this is what she got!? Hopping up she scowled at the large skinwalkers back before fastening her bag with the aid of her Christmas lights. "I gave you some deer jerky you owe me one Nuk!" Running forward she took a small leap landing again on the back of Nuk but this time she grabbed tight onto his fur no way he was kicking her off again!
"Don't you go smirkin at me and dumping me in the snow again ya Flea Bag!"
Yes Sammy was attempting to ride Nuk like a large bull at a rodeo, and no what ever Shehk said would not stop her from doing this because it was Sammy, it was Nuk, it was the way it was meant to be.
Two slightly stupid students doing something possibly stupid and dangerous in a bad time and place.

Yeah, Shehk probably should have just held her ground to deny that the statement had been anything beyond a good-ol' "MY MOUNT. NOT YOURS". But it had already sunk in that she had just claimed possession over the bearwolf. You only went there if you were guilty of it. Though that hadn't really been her initial meaning for such a thing. Truly. It had really been a 'Hurr hurr, my mount, not yours'. But it seemed that once they'd all taken the leap, there was no climbing back up.
D'oh!
Shehk watched as Sammy was dumped off of the skinwalker's back, trying to decide if she should smirk or not. Oh, Nukpana. Such a silly-silly boy. The Pricolici patted him on one side as he passed her by...and then grabbed on when that lovely inconvenience called 'OH GOD, MY LEGS AREN'T MAINTAINING SHAPE ANYMORE' kicked in, bones shifting position, length, twisting... and making all over horrible noises (at a somewhat leisurely pace).
However, eventually Shehk was left with four paws and a coat of fur to her name.. and she was nearly half-flung over Nukpana's back. A hilarious image, but that was how Shehk had been standing as she transformed... and now getting un-flopped as proving to be an issue.
Which prompted barking and flailing until she fell over into the snow again. Rising and shaking her fur out (good god, she was tiny next to Nukpana), the Pricolici offered the skinwalker a bark and bumped her head against his shoulder, before looking back to Sammy and barking impatiently.
Great. Now Sammy had -nobody- to communicate in human-speech with! Bark bark yip growlll.

It took a while for the wounded hunchback to catch up, eyes scouring for any familiar face- then he saw where the gryphon had landed only to face off with.... what looked like a strange little ginger-gnome. What.... on Earth were they? There were some sort of deer as well, madness erupting all around. He gripped his crutch tightly, scrambling to try to make his way over to Tahki without drawing any undue attention towards himself.

Suddenly, Johan's chin began to hurt. What in the name of Halloween? Rubbing it thoughtfully, he wondered what had happened until he caught sight of a certain boil hobbling towards the griffin. Christof! He hadn't seen him since the forest. Looked as though the hunchback had made it through the Island without any further harm done to him. Johan looked around furtively for Lizzy or Amrita, but both ghouls were either not with Christof, or they hadn't arrived yet.
Giving the elf and the ghoul a wide berth, Johan also attempted to draw closer to the griffin and Christof.

x___Doctor Ruri Blade Kuroda Arriving at Christmas Town, Jericho sneered at the sights and sounds of it all. It was worse than he had anticipated with all the bright lights and candy canes and well... everything. Before he could go much further, he glanced at Riley as she hopped off to hurry behind a gingerbread house. "Riley are you alright?" he frowned while moving to see how she was fairing. Of course, as he did so he found a little guy harassing her. So that was an elf? "Kill it!" He snarled. The elf wasn't as disturbing as some of the other things they had seen but it still looked rather weak. It shouldn't be hard for them to dispose of the creatures he figured.  With an elegant leap, a beautiful reindeer crosses your path and stares are you with the wide, watery eyes of innocence. It prances JOYfully toward you. HP: 6With his attention on the elf fighting Riley, Jericho didn't notice the bounding reindeer until it was almost right next to him. Jumping back, he stared at the creature with a rather hungry gleam in his eyes. "Finally, something I can eat!" HP: 20
No damage

Slowing her pace as she entered Christmas town, Mei took a small look around the place before choosing any goals in particular. This place.. It was so weird! Just who would want to live in this kind of place anyways? All this.. this.. JOY! It was repulsive to her. "Gross.." Stretching her limbs some, she followed the tracks left by all the students in their haste to invade the area. Mei, however, was in no rush to raid this place anymore. Sure, she would take part if she got the opportunity, but the chances of her making it all the way were pretty slim in her mind. Might as well take her time, rather than rush into her inevitable defeat.
It was no doubt that the boils were up just ahead of her somewhere, but what she questioned, was the whereabouts of Merope and Cyr. Had they already reached their goal? Did they make it past here? Or did they already..? Shaking the thought from her head, her brow furrowed; a little pissed at herself for even thinking anything like that. They were probably fine. Probably.

[Arriving from The Island of Misfit Toys.]
Deacon was rested well enough, warm in his tiny coat and mittens that Israfel had crafted him before continuing off of the island he'd just managed to escape himself. The Torterror that the siren had offered seemed to be greatly enjoying itself, riding upon the tabby's back and brandishing a small stick like it were a blade as the feline tore with determination through the snow and into the town at long last.
Eyes wide, Deacon peered around them at the sights. By God. The town was made of sweets. If Deacon had actually died back there in the snow, he hoped he stayed in this sugary heaven instead of finding himself back in Halloween.
After a long moment of staring, he ran over to a little cottage and sniffed curiously at the siding. Gingerbread siding. Sinking his teeth in, he ripped away a piece without much care of who minded. He might have been rested, but he was starving from all of that walking.

Lucien on his back, the Siren felt that he was just a bit heavier. Might have been that Jack'n JOY. It was not doing anyone's natural FEAR fueled bodies any good. Personally, he couldn't wait until it was all over. Hopping through the snow on a one siren sleigh for Lucien. "Lucy, do you think Sandy Claws can suck FEAR from our hearts?" He heard that rumor once. He hoped it wasn't true.

demon_pachabel Nio Love demon_pachabel Nio Love It wasn't clear why Jericho and Riley had lagged behind. Perhaps the quiet that had settled between them had slowed Jericho's pace as well. Or perhaps he'd gotten lost. Who could say? All that Riley knew was that she wasn't even aware they had reached their destination until they had actually stepped across the threshold of the town and were bombarded with Christmas cheer.
Lights. Blinking, happy little lights. Everywhere.
The distant sound of yuletide carols being sung by a choir.
The foul, penetrating stench of candy.
And the elves, oh. The elves.
Riley snapped to, taking everything in at once, and a terrible sound could be heard (actually heard) coming from her tentacles. She grabbed them quickly with one hand, squeezing them shut, but it was too late. She scrambled off of Jericho, falling onto her knees in the snow, and then ran as fast as her shoeless feet could carry her behind one of the gingerbread houses. She wanted no one to see her like this. No one.
There, atop a little snowman, Riley lost her lunch. "You're going to clean that up, right?" HP: 8Riley's HP: 19 Elf HP: 8 The elf rolled it's eyes at the threat. "RiiiiiIIiight. And I'm Santa Claus." it dismissed, before repeating. "But seriously, you're cleaning that up, right?" HP: 8Riley's HP: 14 Elf HP: 3

Now that the plague doctor had recovered, it was time... to sample.
Well. This was hardly an appropriate place for a full autopsy, but taking a few little bits here and there could hardly hurt. Especially after Mr. Blobby had so completely refused to give it any elf genetic material back at the Academy! This would be better, though, untainted by gelatinous gastric juices.
Malodore knelt next to the elf-corpse and pulled out a scalpel.

Lucien wrapped his arms gently around the siren's neck so that it was just a little bit easier on the both of them to keep him up on his siren sleigh. As they were hopping through the snow on the one back siren sleigh and over the fields of snow, Lucien gave good thought to Israfel's question. He shivered at the thought. It really didn't sound safe that having FEAR sucked out of your heart. It did not sound JOYful at all either. He wasn't sure if it was true, but trying to reassure his bird he said, "Surely it's just a rumor."

Night sniffed as their little group entered Christmas town and took in the smells of evergreen and a sweet smell of baking. This place bounced light and colors off the reflection of cold wet white stuff on the ground in which Night took in his hands, it instantly melted from his body heat, turning into water which had Night hissing.
"Bleh, This white stuff is water!" Night complained before delicately tiptoeing around the white stuff. how was he suppose to avoid it with all of it there!??! This place was surrounded in it! Just as he took another step, he lost his footing on a slippery patch and went face first in the snow.
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" Night tried to instantly jump up and instead slipped around like a flopping fish in the snow.
