Welcome to Gaia! ::

It wasn't long before another monster walked onto the train. Her black and tan wings were folded against her to allow herself throught he door way. Her lion's tail swished back and forth in a curious manner. Cat eyes looked about the cabin at the other students and the sphinx smiled a bit. She was glad there were a few other monsters on her train. Heaven forbid she had been stuck in a cabin with a bunch of snooty demons!

She sauntered her way towards the middle, as saunter is the best word for the feline monster. Her daisy duke shorts and mid-drift did nothing to really hide her figure. A figure she was very proud of and maintained almost religiously. Her black hair hung around her shoulders. She smiled to the large green man who seemed to be the one in charge. Her fangs glissened in the light. The only thing that was really odd about her was the Ankh headband she wore. It showed her Egyptian heritage. She also felt it was good luck!

Looking into the back she saw a loud student and frowned. Her sensitive cat ears did not appriciate the noise. Then again she prefered the roar of the crowd as she ran about on the field. She would have growled at her, the deep purring growl she had but the lemer seemed to start flirting with the large swamp monster. Finally she saw a creature that looked familiar, a gryphon. She felt some sort of kinship with her fellow multi-beast. After all they were both a mixture of animals. She walked to the back and smiled.

"This seat taken?" she pointed a clawed finger at the seat near Tahki. Her tail continued to swish back and forth.

((Quest for reference pictures))

"Thanks. I don't really know anyone just yet so I thought I'd at least sit next to a monster more like me than the rest," she smiled. She had something of a forgien accent, the many years living in Egypt with her family had left it's mark. She crossed her long, muscular legs and looked around a bit. Her cat eyes scanned the others to remember their faces before turning back to the griffon girl. Others seemed to be milling about or sulking. Oh well, at least she had someone to talk to.

"I'm Nefertair by the way. You are?" she looked to the griffon girl. It was true they were something of kin. The girl was part eagle and part lion. She herself was part lion and part eagle. They were the same mix yet were completely different creatures. She saw the ghoul's headphones and smiled a bit, she obviously liked music.

Come to think of it, Tahki hadn't seen a number of these ghouls and boil(s?) around campus. Were these all soon to be new students coming on this trip or were these already accomplished young terrors? Either way it didn't matter much to the gryphon.

Tahki offered Nefertair a smile when the sphinx offered her name. There was a trace of accent laced in her words. Egyptian? Made sense.

"Tahki Yuki." The gryphoness offered. "Its nice to meet you. I've never met a Sphinx before." It was kind of odd she hadn't seeing the two were closely related monsters.

With a sleepy dream-like gaze in his pale green eyes, Meng Xiang entered the train cabin with a small gentle grin and glanced around without any particular purpose. The pale, petite jiang shi boy took in his new surroundings, having never been on a train before. It was all so awe-inspiring to him and he hoped that wherever they were headed would be just as amazing. "So this is what the inside of of the trains are like... interesting." He spoke softly, almost to the point of a whisper though still audible. He made sure to excuse himself as he passed by people and made his way to a seat, brushing against a black ghost dog sitting beside a large green monster. The boy giggled softly to himself, tucking a loose strand of silver bluish hair behind his ear as he shambled over softly, as not to bother anyone with loud steps, to a nearby empty seat in the middle of the cabin, not too far back although not way up front either. The perfect place to get a good view out the window, in his opinion.

Unlike the other students who brought along their music and headphones, the only item Xi brought with him was an antique looking Polaroid camera that dangled around his neck. None of the teachers had said that he couldn't bring it, so he assumed it was okay. He wanted to be able to capture memories of pretty things that he would find on this trip. Perfectly content with where he was, Xi watched out of the window keeping to himself and thoughtlessly twiddling his thumbs. He knew nobody and nobody knew him, but he was fine with that just as long as his presence was not disturbing anyone.

Finally, Laiha found herself addressed by the big green boy. The girl beside him was somewhat contaminating his scent, but at least she was speaking less. Rather than wave, the little monster's hand raised and clasped the top of the seat. More of her face showed: her button nose and her fang-filled mouth. She wasn't smiling, but she was doubly pleased that the big boy only said hello. Her attention turned then out the window. Where were they going? What would be there? It was all rather exciting, especially considering nobody had chosen to sit beside her.

Why would they?

The students sitting closer to the front of the train car might have heard a soft scraping sound followed by a muffled thump. It wasn't particularly noisy, and with natural abilities being limited, not that threatening to most students either.

Sepheran took a deep breath as he stood outside the train doors. Liannan his faithful pet snake was curled around her master's neck as always, her tongue flicked in an out hissing softly into Sepheran's ear now and then as if speaking to him. He had been allowed to bring her only because she helped him get around. Truth be told he would be a total klutz and practically blind without her help. Sephy lifted his hand to gently pat Liannan's head. "Can't be that bad...though maneuvering in a crowed train car might be difficult...I'll be counting on you for help Liannan," Sepheran stated in a soft whisper, Liannan hissed a reply. Another breath for calming as this was his first time meeting all these new people that may or may not become his classmates in the future should he decide to enroll in Amityville Academy, and with that he entered the doorway and into the car to which he had been told he was assigned to.

The basilisk then preceded to look about letting Liannan fill him in on the area and where students seemed to be sitting. His eyes were closed, with natural abilities being blocked it was truly hard to get around. They weren't deadly or anything like his brother's or sisters. Even so it was just easier to leave them closed, it kept him from getting looks as well, and while he could not see them himself Liannan always could tell and Sephy was keen on her feelings.

Turning his head once or twice he slowly began to make his way down the aisle, surprisingly able to avoid bumping up against others...well save for one or two in which he had promptly apologized as he continued to about halfway. He could hear the chatter up front and decided to move a bit further until he reached the middle. Turning towards where Liannan has told him another sat he smiled softly, though his head was actually looking above the boy named Meng Xiang...well not really looking either since his eyes were closed.

"Excuse me...is it alright with you if I sit here?" Sepheran asked politely as he could. Liannan shifted herself peeking her head out of Sephy's hair eyeing the other boy as if studying him. Her tongue flicked a few times before her stare shifted back to Sepheran curling herself back into her usual position with her head close to her master's ear.

"Ehh? Sounds tough. I bet you can do it though." He said; attempting to give some encouragement to the big fella'. Hopefully things would go smoothly for G. He'd hate to see him overwork himself. Especially when many students were quite difficult to please.

"So any idea on when we're supposed to be leavi--oof!" He was about to ask when the train was supposed to leave, when someone bumped into him, barely managing to contain a low growl. It was some undead boy, who he had never seen before now...

Ahhh Jeez! It wasn't that crowded yet and already he was getting shoved about? Just how many students were going to be joining them in this train car anyways. Was there a list of some sort that he missed? This was beginning to become a habit of his...

"Hmm? Looks like G is making friends already." He chuckled as the girl--some monster type were creature, he assumed, approached him and began acting quite friendly towards him. Followed by several other students who greeted the swamp beast. Looks like he wouldn't have to worry about G after all.

Unfortunately, because of all the chatter and being at the back of the train car, not even his sensitive ears could pick up the suspicious sounds towards the front of the car.
