Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raziel couldn't quite grasp the idea. No more humans? But he had just been fighting them, killing them, moments before.. Even twice moments before. How could they simply be gone? They weren't given much time to think, and Raziel was sure he didn't want to try and answer the crazy lady's question.

Shoved into a cage, and with nothing to but try and grasp what was going on, Raziel went to seek out one of the few Halloweeners that weren't students and with his group. "Excuse me.. Who are you?" he asked an older boil leaning against a bar at the side of the cage.

The prisoner sighs a little bit. "It's going to be a long wait till my final dissipation isn't it? Fine I'll humour you, I was called Eis, from a place once known as Halloween Town. It's gone now, like most of pretty much every other Jackforsaken thing the Four Clans took. There's nothing now, they took everything. First the Humans, then us, and now well, the rest you can see for yourself." They shrugged, falling silent again.

The Four Clans... They had taken everything? All the humans? Even Halloweentown? Raziel's mind was spinning at the thought, he didn't really know what to make of it all and he was worried now for if any of them would make it out of this field trip alive.

At first, Raziel began to walk away from the now hostile stranger that he got a little bit of information from, then he decided he might as well enjoy himself and be a total a** to the guy who had just been an a** to him.

He sauntered back over, a rather smug grin on his face before asking, "Who are you?" in a voice as close to the Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland as he could have gotten without having any idea what that reference was at all. It wasn't but a moment before Raziel could see his comment light a fire in the boil's eyes, and he knew his little plan of a** hattery had worked so well.

Before he could cause a fight, Raziel turned and dodged back into the crowd, blending with others so that he couldn't be so easily found.

((Forget this post - I derped))

question one

Gilly was terrified. This was quite possibly the most terrifying of all the doors they had been through. The death that lingered scared her. She didn't like dying so much, she felt like she was going to wretch.

She turned to one of the other prisoners. He looked like he had been there a long time, he looked like he was on deaths door.

"What time is it currently?" Gilly asked, not really sure why. She tried to sound chipper and gave a little smile while asking. Maybe a normal question would wake them up from this nightmare.

"The time now?" The prisoner rolls their eyes. "Does it really Jacking matter? How about several hours before they feed us to their little Fear-eating contraptions? How about several years too late from stopping their Jacking Apocalypse?"

"Fear-eating contraptions?" Gilly's eyes went wide. She didn't like the sound of that at all. Pictures of torture devices filled her head, and she just started noticing the feint noises she could hear in the distance sounded like screams. She wasn't sure what an apocalypse was but she didn't like the sound of that either. The visions of torture devices had already preoccupied her mind. She was leaking, all over the floor.

question three

Gilly's eyes started to tear up. She didn't know what was going to happen to them. She looked up at the hanging cages and her heart sunk.

She looked over at the prisoner. "Who are you?" She felt that this was a much more appropriate question to ask and wondered why it took her this long to ask it.

The prisoner sighs a little bit. "It's going to be a long wait till my final dissipation isn't it? Fine I'll humour you, I was called Eis, from a place once known as Halloween Town. It's gone now, like most of pretty much every other Jackforsaken thing the Four Clans took. There's nothing now, they took everything. First the Humans, then us, and now well, the rest you can see for yourself." They shrugged, falling silent again.

Dissipation? Gilly didn't like the sound of that either. But he was from halloween town! Just like all of them! But here, in this time or place or whatever, it was gone, all gone. Everything she knew and loved was gone. She whimpered thinking about her pets. What had happened to everyone? Why were these people doing these things? Was all of this a warning? Will it happen? Did it happen?

Question Two:
" - Jacking Apocalypse?" Nadia was about to draw her head into her shoulders like a turtle when the angered, exhausted person finally finished his speech. Then, after a few seconds of thinking, Nadia, who's only excuse was the fact she had just been through two bloody massacres and the end of the world, asked, possibly the most stupid question of her life:"So what time is it?"

Arynek knew she wasn't belong here, at least not some battle fields that required killings, she preferred the peaceful way of solving problems. She seemed to start grasping something about where they were, but she needed more links. The disgusting feeling towards the tunnel battle suffocated her, with all the blood, shouts, fleshes, and in general, the nearly overthrew hatred.........the feeling lasted for a while, and eventually, it was fading!
That feeling was just like when you nearly fainted, all senses becomes vague and distant. Arynek immediately knew the second dream was about to end.

Just as expected, when her senses became sharp again, she saw Medea already waiting for them at the third door. As usual practice, not much time for them to stay, they were swallowed by the darkness inside the door.

Words like doom or end of the world came into the shadow ghoul's mind when she saw the situation of the dream they were taken to. It was a ruined world, they might be in a city, with rusted vehicles, skycrappers that likey to collapse in the next moment and disposal of all sorts of damaged objects were what she could see. Grey and Black, besides these neutral colors, the whiteness of the flying paper as well as the brown of the polluted smokes were the only colors. Arynek spotted a broken and dirty doll on the ground, she picked it up and dusted it, the happy smile on the doll seemed the only opposite of the misery. She put it back and sighed. Another sad dream.......

Straight after she put down the doll, she heard a sharp shout and then saw two figures approached them, they are most likely to be the War people, the shadow ghoul guessed, from how they dressed. When they walked towards them, Arynek could hear their angry voices, seemed like they were arguing over something.

"You. Come with us."
One of them commanded them with apathetic voice, all the students were forced to follow, without any freedom, down a series of stairs.

Isn't this familiar?

She found they were descending underground, to a cavern obviously. She could notice that there were Clan members sentrying all the doorways. She wondered what things below needed such a high security measure. When she walked further downwards, she gradually felt a very strange Fear. Arynek recalled her felt a similar Fear before, in somewhere......but she couldn't remember at this moment no matter how hard she thought. She also saw some hanging empty cages to her left, what was the purposes of them? Further down, she saw a series of abandoned caverns and she saw the SYMBOL! She now recalled why she felt so familar, she saw the same thing in the hidden lair of Famine! The horrible memory! However, unlike that powerful source in the Famine, this one was far more feeble.

When she compared the center runes with the one in her memory, a majestic, queen-like figure walked towards them. From her dressing, it had a very high possibility to be the War Queen. Although she never visit the War Isle, she knew only the War and Famine would dress like that and she saw the dressing of the Famine Heir before, that of this queen was a bit different from the heir, with feathers and leathers.

"Speak" The Queen heckled with an antagonistic expression on her face, her eyes were staring at them....? A voice raised from their behind. The shadow ghoul turned around and saw a student? The way he dressed suggested that he was one of them - Halloweener. However, Arynek noticed that he was fading, becoming less and less obvious. What happened to him? It was similar to her when she was pulled by the mysterious powerful source in the Famine's hidden lair. He tried to explain to the Queen something, maybe something about the situation of this world. He mentioned about the extinction of humans. Also, he revealed that Halloweeners had warned the Queen about her actions. From his words, Arynek inferred that it might be the Queen had done some unrecoverable destruction to humans, leading to their death. As he suggested, once humans died, no more fear would be created and nothing would be available for harvest. As Halloweeners and horsemen all depend on Fear, without Fear also mean end of their life.

Before he could finish the sentence, the hostile Queen killed him and he was absorbed by the runes. The Queen refused to trust the Halloweener she killed and heckled to the remaining again. It seemed that she wanted an answer of the location of where the remaining humans hid. There was only dead air. The Queen was extremely dissatisfied with that. She ordered her people to lock all of them up into a big caged area. From the Queen's last few words, Arynek knew that in this world, the Halloweeners stood on the same side with the humans instead of choosing the Clans. But.....where were the other Clans?

Time for the second question, after analyzing the reply from the prisoner, Arynek asked another question.

"Oh, I am sorry.......would you mind telling me who are you?"

Hearing her apologize, the prisoner sighed. It seemed that the shadow ghoul's apology had calmed him down.
"It's going to be a long wait till my final dissipation isn't it? Fine I'll humour you, I was called Eis, from a place once known as Halloween Town. It's gone now, like most of pretty much every other Jackforsaken thing the Four Clans took. There's nothing now, they took everything. First the Humans, then us, and now well, the rest you can see for yourself."

When the prisoner began to talk, Arynek concentrated and listened carefully. She was shocked when Eis mentioned Halloween Town and the fact that it was gone! What had happened? Why her homeland gone? He continued and solved her doubt. It was the Clans who took everything according to what he said.

Why would the Death head priestess Medea shown them this? Something that made themselves infamous? Was this the truth?
