Welcome to Gaia! ::

In a situation almost the exact opposite from Salali, Cooper was feeling entirely too much from his body right now. Everything ached, at least where it didn't down right hurt. Even his hoodie felt bruised, the red eyes half-lidded.

"Neverridingahorseagain." he muttered to himself. "Running. Runningisbest. Owntwofeet. Nohooves."

Faint rubbed his head and squinted, trying hard to concentrate and understand Salali. She was hard to understand in a normal situation, but with both of them beat to hell he didn't understand at all. "Mountain?" Had there been a mountain? That didn't make sense. Not in the middle of the train. Why couldn't he remember?!

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Faint hissed angrily at Ahikiko. "If you're so ******** curious what happened, why's it so bad that I asked?" He was tired of high and mighty brats acting like they could say whatever they pleased to him. They needed to get to the school so he could walk away from all this and get on with his life. This was ridiculous. He just wanted to fill the huge gap in his memory. The last thing he remembered was finding Betty and Breic going after each other.

He propped hi elbows on his knees and held his head. He suppressed a dramatic groan, though only barely. The thought of further annoying Ahikiko was almost enticing.

"Plegh! Blegh! Cookies not delicious! Cookies terrible!" Puck raged from inside his jack-o-lantern prison. At least he could still kind of see through the dim cut-outs, and stick his tongue out through the mouth, but his fingers scrabbled uselessly at the interiors of the gourds sheathing his hands. The indignity! This wasn't even an injury - it was an INSULT.

He still felt woogy, though, and not particularly inclined to get out of the plushy surroundings he found himself in. The poltergeist scowled at the line of beds and their occupants. A whole pile of people to play with, and here he was without opposable thumbs...

Oh - that little skittery one was here. Puck looked at Salali through the cut-outs in his pumpkin prison. "... Boo?" he offered, holding up both hands in a 'scary' pose.

"The horse - he somehow transformed into his animal form despite the anti-Fear thing on the train," Fauste frowned, turning to look at the Sahuagin when she spoke. His hand was still busily rubbing at the sore bump on the back of his head as he continued with a mild shrug, "I think... He managed to kick me and him-" He gestured briefly to Cooper, "Off. Judging from my injuries, I think we were sent flying and hit the walls of the carriage, knocking us out."

He paused, looking at everyone who was in the same cabin; he recognized the pile of bones as victim number 1, and then there was the shaman and the warlock... Taking out those who were involved in the whole 'Betty and Breic' incident, Faint was the only one who was not directly involved... Since his face and hands were not encased in that weird pumpkin-thing, it must not be due to Betty, right? Curious, Fauste turned towards the weretiger, "What happened to you? Did the horse get you too?"

Ahikiko took the opportunity to ignore Faint for now and listen to the others talk. He didn't really mean to cause an argument he just wanted him to stop talking because his own ears hurt to but Ahikiko was in a bad mood so it meant he was going to be a jerk. He slightly chuckled at Pucks, cookie comments and then at him attempting to scare Salai. "So there where two of them...and they attacked each other... ? " He was trying to get the facts straight. The warlock turned as Fauste asked Faint a question. Faint couldn't remember what happened, he hadn't mentioned trying to subdue either of the two fighting... Ahikiko got a mortified look on his face, as the thought that something didn't add up occurred to him. If he wasn't trying to subdue anyone, then what happened to him...? Ahikiko snapped from his thoughts and looked at the other boy, a bruise ringing was around his neck. " There is another attacker..." He narrowed his eyes. " Think about it ..if you weren't trying to help them but you were hurt any ways then that doesn't add up....I mean the bruise on your neck means something, and maybe you passed out from lack of oxygen...maybe you were strangled ! W-was anyone behind you ??"

Salali burst out laughing at Puck's little gesture, but after a few seconds gasped and quickly comped down on her lower lip. If she'd been able to move she would have clasped her hands there. Nothing should be funny now...everything around them was at the absolute opposite end of funny...unless of course you were even more crazy than she was. "Not now, not now..." she mumbled a bit, averting her eyes.

But a certain eagerness returned to her as Balumf not only answered her question, but did so on her terms. "Two foxes? I wonder if they fought because they smelled each other or because their nose was dulled..." Or in other words, she wondered if each had known the other was a beserker. Her brow wrinkled, either in thought or in worry or fear or all of it together. It was a lot of information to absorb and yet...it kept coming.

She rolled her eyes to the other side to look at Akihiko. "Another fox? Three foxes is a lot for one mole burrow." She wasn't saying she disagreed, as she seemed rather unsettled by the idea.
