Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Definitely! Perhaps at the maul cafe or something? She can then take him to her family's bootique afterwards or something X3))


White haired pony boil....? Sitting down on his bottom in bafflement, he scratched an annoying itch behind his ear but Ro could tell he was also thinking. He may have seen him before but there were so many interesting people and pets around, he just couldn't be sure. 'Ooooh... that's not good at all! I've never met anyone like that... Master seems to be around the pretty lady with the long orange hair over there!!' He shifted a paw to point in Carry's general direction.

Pleased that he was allowed to call him nifty, he gave a happy wolf whistle before he stood up and went and headbutted Livi's leg. 'This one! He's my master! He wears lots of nice clothes!!' The envy demon, confused by the headbutt, figured that the minipet was hungry and he reached into his snack bag and handed him a chocolate covered bacon piece to make him happy. Though it hadn't been the mission, he accepted it happily but trotted back to see if maybe Ro wanted to have some with him. 'His name is Livi! He takes really good care of me! You're master is really pretty!!! heart heart ' A lot of the talk of style went over his little head, but Ro was so smart sounding so Luka was very impressed with him and it was very obvious.

[Yesss. *w* She's gonna ask him for his number then.]

'Yes, if you see anyone like that, be sure to stay far far away from him! Or hit him really hard.' The minipet warned, shaking a paw in the air as he wiggled his ear wings in an angry manner; it was obvious he was still upset at the boil who had (supposedly) tried to kill him and his fellow minipets. He teh turned to look at who Luka was pointing at, giving an approving nod, 'Oh? That ghoul's pretty - your master has good taste, yes! Could she be your master's ghoul? That mass of hair looks like its easy to get tangled in though...'

Rosenthal moved out of the table to peek up at Livi, hm-ing and hum-ing before finally moving back under the table, giving a slow nod, 'Not bad, not bad... He looks kinder and better than that pony boil.' He looked at the treat, cautiously sniffing it, 'Chocolate? Mm, I like your master already, yes.'

"He's adorable," Lizzy giggled, looking down at the Foxsquirrel that was with Livi before peeking under the table, "And it seems like he's friends with Rosenthal!" She then looked up at the Envy demon again, straightening up, "What's his name?"

ROUND 3

Sepheran tilted his head in Livi's direction when Lizzy introduced him. He smiled lightly nodding, "Pleasure to meet you Livi," he replied. Slightly distracted by introduction he released too little Fear. Oh Jack He hoped it would still be alright...

Xeros sat uninterested in the other things going around him. His tail flicked irritated...he was getting hungry and he was starting to get tired of waiting as Sepheran chitchatted amongst his peers. Standing up he strode over to the Basilisk boy butting his head against Sepheran's side hissing unhappily.

Sepheran blinked looking down at Xeros. "X-Xeros? It wil only be a few more minutes...please be patient? I know! Here have a cricket for now until the candy is done okay?" Sephy replied pulling out his bag and giving Xero's one to hopefully subside his irritation a bit.

((TY MARU 8D;;; ))

ROUND 1-3 BECAUSE I CAN ((XD))

Cyrilla began concentrating on having her FEAR do the work for her, really, but her concentration was suddenly broken by the bashing sound of Merope's paddle. Staring blankly at the boil, and the fire, she backed up quickly herself. Meanwhile her own attempt had come to a complete failure, and Star just rolled his little eyes at the pair.

"Merope, what the jack man." she placed a hand on her hip before shaking her head. It took her a few moments to realize she'd screwed up her own attempt and her face went from slightly annoyed to OH CRAP in 0.2 seconds flat.

She took a few moments to make sure that Merope wasn't going to burn the place down before starting again.

Her further attempts at concentrating seemed to be going much better, not awesome, but definitely better than Merope fire starting. She wasn't sure what exactly was up with this class and fire, but it wasn't exactly something that she wanted to repeat. Two for two though...

Star stirred up on her shoulder and looked at the what was going on. It wasn't all together terribly interesting. But Rathalos was over with Merope and Star wasn't in a hurry to go over to hang with him either. There were a good number of others around, but the fafnir was feeling particularly lethargic that day and chose to stay put.

'I try!' And that was true. The pup was eager to learn about as many things as humanly possible, regardless if it was hard to get at first. The pat on the back made him yip happily and his tail flailed about happily. heart yay attention!! 'Cute? I like cute!' The ghouls Livi was around called him cute and cuddled him so he figured this cute thing is a very good thing indeed! 'Kennel, yes! He has all this stuff in our room and has been trying to build it for us! But... he seems.. stuck or something...' He was worried about his master, who was staying up later than he should some nights to work on the thing. 'My master is good master? He gives us steaks! I luff steaks!' Just like he himself liked to be liked, he wanted others to like Livi as well.

The spark of fire from Merope's FEAR addition made him blink in surprise, as it wasn't something he had fully been expecting. It just went to prove that it was hard to focus on it like he had assumed. But he looked down a bit and watched as Luka noticed the hand Lizzy was offering and ran over to it eagerly; nuzzling it cutely before bumping his head into her palm for ear ruffles and lovings. She smelled pretty!! Ro's master was awesome awesome yes!!! <333 The question about Ro made his head tilt in bafflement before he seemed to understand, shook his head, gave a cute yap and pounced on the pata-pata as if to say 'not at all! Ro awesome friend!! heart '

"Ah, I see. That's not completely a bad thing or anything. Sometimes, it doesn't hurt to be cautious about things... I don't think."

'Stuck? That's no good. My owner gets stuck when she's trying to make things too - like that dress she had been making for the nice little undead ghoul! But I think she's pretty good with her hands or something, doesn't seem to get stuck for long.' He didn't understand why anyone would want to wear clothes... Such stuffy and uncomfortable things! Nonetheless, most of the students weren't very... Hairy. Maybe they get cold?

At the pounce - which he was totally unprepared for - Rosenthal toppled over backwards with a soft squeak; while he would normally get upset, Luka reminded him of Jimmy - special Jimmy. This calmed him down as he scrambled to get up, sitting on his haunches with a raised eye brow, 'I'm sure she appreciates that, pup... Seems like she's worried about me not making enough friends. Bah, as if making friends was going to a problem for me. I'm just picky, that's all.'

Very picky.

Lizzy giggled at the headbutt before proceeding to rub Luka on his head, fussing over him as she showered him with pats, "I'm glad you two get along!" She scratched him behind his ears before running her fingers down his back, stroking his fur as she smiled happily, "His fur is kept in such good condition! I'll have to get some tips from you, Livi!" Not that any of her own Minipets have lots of fur, but still!

"Oh, I know! We could go to the maul this Spiderday! For pet supplies and to visit mother's boutique!" She grinned, so excited she almost bumped her head against the top of table as she stood up, fishing for her skelephone from her pocket, "I don't think I have your number yet, so want to switch numbers? It'll make it easier for us to contact each other later!"

PART 2 OF TASK UP

The mixture started off orange, bubbling away as the student took turns to stir and infuse FEAR into it. However, as time went on, the vivid orange of the mixture started to dull, the orange fading a little as it started to darken. When the bubbling finally stopped to indicate that the mixture was ready, it was more brown than orange.

"Not a bad attempt," The Professor mused out loud with a small, encouraging smile at the students around the table, "I'm sure you'll get the hang of it as you practice..." Allowing Ayakashi to wiggle out of his arms, the Minipet started to make his round around the table, sniffing at the students. He stayed silent, ears twitching occasionally. He did, however, stopped at Yui to let out a soft whimper while looking at his owner before running back to Malcolm.

"Oh...? Well, it seems like everyone made a good effort," He smiled, picking his Minipet up from the table. Pausing, he then turned to Yui with a small smile, "However, it seems like you slackened a little compared to the rest of your group... I'm sure you can do a better job."

As he had done for the previous groups, Malcolm produced several green tokens, holding them out of his palm. He gave one to every student except for Yui, giving her an apologetic dip of the head instead, "Keep this token, it will come in handy in the future, when my office is done..." He hoped the students would be encouraged by the little gift, at least.



[OOC note: 133 / 7 = 19 which is a good!]

Feeling mortified beyond words, Yui spent a few moments blushing furiously and hiding her face in Anemone's side when the little mer-schink came up to nuzzle her reassuringly. Well. There was only one thing she could do. And as her parents frowned upon ritual suicide, she told herself that she would make the best batch of Fear Candy that she could. She'd watched her mother cook and bake plenty of times. It couldn't be THAT hard.

With a sigh, she gently placed Anemone on the floor and rooted through her bookbag for the bag of dried seaweed cookies that she'd brought along for the schink. Then, she followed Lizzy's example and claimed a saucepan of her own, carefully setting the stove below it to low. Then, holding a mixing spoon in one hand and an empty measuring cup in the other, she dipped the cup into the FEAR mixture and transferred what she'd dipped out into her saucepan. Stirring carefully, she craned her neck to read the ingredients list.

She knew from experience (and a severe case of boredom one day) that the seaweed cookies had a mild, very slightly salty flavor and almost no smell. As she pondered ingredients, she fumbled the bag open with one hand and began to crumble the cookies into her mixture one by one. She saw Anemone peeking over the edge of the table and giving a distressed squeak as she saw her beloved treats vanishing before she'd been able to eat them. Yui reassured her pet and once every cookie had been stirred in, began reaching for the rest of the things she wanted to use.

Yui didn't want to overpower the seaweed's own flavor, merely... enhance it. She quickly added half a cup of brown sugar and a spoonful of light corn syrup to her mix, enjoying the scent of melting sugar as she stirred. Scanning over the ingredient list again, she paused. While she wanted a pleasantly creamy candy, she had to be careful. More than anything, she didn't want to create something too salty or heavy tasting. Grabbing the unsalted butter, she tossed it into the saucepan and stirred carefully, waiting for the butter to melt.

Once again, Yui saw Anemone peeking up at the mixture. Except now, there was a slight scrabbling as the schink tried to pull herself up onto the table to investigate. And while Yui couldn't really smell the seaweed, Anemone clearly could and liked what she had caught scent of. Well, that was a good sign, right? What was next...? And acid? Frowning, Yui considered her options. After a moment's thought, she decided on the lemon juice and squeezed some into the saucepan.

And while it smelled good now, Yui wanted it to smell even better. She thought of how her mother had cooked and always paid attention to the tiniest detail to make whatever she'd made something special. Glowing green eyes fell on the crushed, mixed citrus flowers and into the mix they went.

A puff of warm, buttery citrus-scented steam went into her face as she stirred and a contented sigh escaped the young samebito. And now Anemone was chuffing excitedly, bouncing around Yui's feet like an anxious puppy. She ignored the other pets at their table, focusing solely on Yui and the saucepan.

Yui, for her part, was trying to decide what color to use to make her candy pretty. Since she seemed to have created something that smelled tropical, she wanted to reflect that colorwise. Working quickly, she mixed together blue, yellow and white food coloring until she'd achieved a rather bright green-yellow shade. Folding it into her candy mixture, Yui then dumped her candy into her own bowl of water.

Now she was free to stop stirring and she gently massaged the arm that had been doing all the work as Anemone took one look at the painfully bright blob floating in the water, cheeped in alarm and dove under Yui's chair.

Once Yui judged that her candy had cooled enough to work with, she pulled the soft ball from the water and set it on the table in front of her, working quickly to turn the one big ball into several smaller balls. And then working on turning the smaller balls into star shapes. As she finished each star, she set it onto a pan to air and soldify a bit.

After that, all she could do was get Anemone out of her hiding place, sit and wait as she cuddled the little mer-schink.
