Welcome to Gaia! ::

Team STFU

It was a field trip. This was not something past school had afforded for Levi. Given her previous school was the shed of a relatives with a handful of peers and she lived in a rather limited town to venture through... the scarce info float about the student body was enough for her to perk with interest at even the possibility of a trip. Not to mention the incident that had occurred in the frosty hallway with the Professor who was holding this training session. She'd been glad it was over before she could become a frosted critter. It really made her think about just what sort of training they'd get and what it had to do with the events that happened.

On the designated date, the tatzel ghoul came to Room 207. There was a portal within where she saw familiar peers stepping through into oblivion and figures that she identified as real and honest to Jack Bogeymen. It was a position to be respected by the ghoul and she gave them her canvas candy corn bag to inspect without a fuss. All cleared. It was her first portal, so she took a minute to examine the thin layer of nothingness before going on in. Well I'll be gosh darned in a ditch...

The sky was what got her first. This sort of coloring was somehow different than what she'd been used to all these years and... something was just- off. The quality of the sky told her they definitely couldn't have been on campus anymore and that this place was...elsewhere. The scene around her also told her this; the house and patch were different. You could see it sort of like someone had turned up the settings on their SkeeV - the colors of everything were just so much more brilliant.

She had mentioned the trip and the events in the hallway to Holly as they continued their building of the treehouse one day. It was planned for them to perhaps take this trip together and do some espionage work. Sneaking: it was fun to do. She looked around for the ghost fox ghoul and found her before catching on to the gesturing of Red for them all to assemble together. Aye, looks like we're startin'...

Within the now filled crowd of Amity students before Red, Levi turned her full attention to werewolf professor and the two...other professors? She hadn't seen either of them on the grounds. Maybe they owned this land?

As instructed, Levi nodded to Holly and brushed through to take the pumpkin pills and returned to examine them. She held them up against the sky in her hand. Figure these 're important, huh?

It is time.

The king has not returned.

We're all gonna die.

Bul approached the room harbored with none of these thoughts delegated specifically to his mood. Instead he was silent, clean slate, centered. If he had anything to say it was merely "okay." The only things he'd brought with him were his snot ball, which likely got confiscated as soon as he walked in the door, and a spare sweater that didn't quite match his coat for his team. Appearing like some sort of.. doctor? he stepped forwards to the portkey portal and arrived at the other side but waited to see if his group was intelligent enough to follow through. The only person on his team that he knew well was Demi, therefore he'd at least see him. Maybe.

Red's speech was not ignored though Bul stood further from her than he may should have. Looking through his small bag to see what had been left he narrowed his eyes. Hoping that there would be enough room to grab 'souvenirs' that may help his team along the road he zipped it up tight then crossed his arms.

Pumpkin pills eh? That would've been helpful the last time. What possibly went through their minds that they wouldn't have done these LAST time? Nevermind it for if he asked Red such a smart alec question no doubt she'd leave him and his team with one less trinket.

"I'll be taking these." Bul spoke up even before consulting his team. Perhaps it was a little self centered but it was dangerous if the others had yet to go on one of these field trips. Bul took the three pumpkin pills and sealed them inside his bag safe and tight. Too torn were his pockets and the boil didn't trust them to stay safely there. For now they were bagged.

Giving Red a bit of a salute he returned near the portal drop-off and awaited his fellow guinea pigs while admiring the haunted house that loomed overhead. Over confidence filled him until he smirked. "It'll be a pleasure working with you..." he spoke to the house itself.

TEAM MAFIA

If anyone asked, Xiu wouldn't be able to tell them why her group was dressed as they were. She couldn't quite remember how they had settled on this idea, but she vaguely remembered that their final consensus being that a mafia-themed uniform would be awesome (if unfitting for such an event), and that was that. In the end, the five of them had settled on pinstripes, ties, and fedoras.

No toy guns to complete the look though, alas.

Adjusting her tie, the baku glanced around nervously as she stepped through the portal with her (thoroughly rummaged through) bag, her gaze sweeping over the other students as she searched for the other members of her group. While she wasn't really familiar with Remi, she figured that he would be easy enough to spot assuming that he was also wearing the planned uniform. Hopefully everyone in the group would get along! From the sounds if it, teamwork was going to be a big part of this field trip.

While she waited for the other members of her group to arrive, Xiu hurried forward and claimed the three pills for her group, figuring that they could figure out how to distribute them later. While the haunted house certainly sounded like a daunting task, there was still a little hint of excitement in the baku's eyes. Despite what some of the other students had said about the previous field trips...perhaps this one wouldn't turn out that way?

The Magic Busters

Taryn was, predictably, painfully early to the aforementioned classroom. Already there were students bustling about, chatting about the adventures to come, and plans were being made. Initially, the chimera ran up to the desk to grab the pumpkin pills, but then stepped back. She only knew 2 others in her group, and what if the other two wanted to be the healers? She made a bit of a face and retreated, disappearing again into the crowd. Now she could only stand on tip-hooves, waiting for one of her good friends to arrive as she shouldered her likely over-packed bag.

Arcadia entered the room with more than a little apprehension. She only recognized one of her team in the crowd, but he stepped through a strange doorway and into night air before she could even say hi.

That in itself was strange - they were definitely inside, yet she could see outside. Weird. She stepped up to the line of students forming before the bogeys and professors. Smelly was quickly confiscated (how did he get there?) as well as a few stale spookies she'd forgotten deep in her pockets. She silently mourned their loss as they got tossed in the trash, but spared only a scolding glance for her minipet.

Cady blanched a little as an air freshener was plopped into her rucksack, but before she could complain she was rudely shuffled through the portal. She took a deep breath of the night air and- coughed a little. It smelt nothing like home. It smelt of trees and grass and- well, it just didn't have that cozy, musty, back-side-of-the-castle odor she'd come to cherish.

Spotting Bul, she waved enthusiastically, mostly ignoring Red's speech in an attempt to wade through the forming press of students. She watched curiously as he accepted some kind of pill- more candy?

"Only THREE PIECES of candy? That's just...just... crew-al," she whined to no one in particular.

Team Awesome

Mitsu had grown more nervous as the days had counted down to the ever mysterious field trip they would be taking. She had expected they would learn a little more about it in the last few days but there was really nothing. Only more questions left unanswered. The only information they recieved was a room number in which they were required to gather. How strange.

An hour before she was to meet her group Mitsu had been nervously fidgeting over her backpack, unpacking it and packing it again. It wasn't that she had a lot of things but she wanted them sorted accordingly with the most important items on top. Clothes were tightly bundled and stuffed near the bottom, bath accessories were next to be followed by the first aid kit which she had restocked to make sure it had plenty of everything for five people, and last but not least some snacks. When everything was packed Mitsu looked at her bag trying to determine if she had everything before her eyes drifted to her stuffed panduhr.

Picking up the stuffed plush gently, Mitsu eyed it thoughtfully. It had been with her through a lot but she wasn't sure if this trip would be the best place to take the toy. It could easily be stolen or destroyed. Against her better judgement she stuffed the toy inside her bag anyway and zipped it closed. Milo and Ziggy would be looked after while she was away but she gave them a parting pat before she left her room to meet up with the others.

When the group was gathered Mitsu at first didn't recognize Riyo in her casual clothes. She smiled behind her mask at the feline at least thankful that she had found something comfortable to wear. The backpack was....well it was still cute even if it was a cat.

Mot certainly seemed excited. He continued to chatter, talk, and question the entire way to room 207. Had he fallen victim to the coffee? Mitsu would have asked but the reaper never really gave her a chance to speak as he continued to jabber on like an excited child at a theme park.

Going through customs was maddening on its own and Mitsu was more than surprised by their means of travel. Items were sorted through and some things had to be left behind. It was too bad, Mitsu had made cookies for the trip but apparently there was a rule about no sugary snacks. If she had known ahead of time she would have packed something different. Instead, the cookies she made were tossed aside, probably to be stolen and consumed by gnomes later on (sucks to be them).

Finally she was allowed access to the portal and Mitsu made sure to stick close to Shun as she passed through. On the other side the lycan experienced a sense of culture shock. Everything was so different, the smells, the sights. Even the light in the sky wasn't the same. Curiously her nose started to sniff about trying to take in all the new smells before she realized the students were gathering. Following the masses Mitsu once again spotted Red, the elusive Professor she had yet to speak with. Catching sight of the Professor was hard enough over the last week at school and Mitsu felt she should have stayed the day when Shun had urged her to leave.

Mitsu's eyes drifted to the building as Red explained about their trip and what they were to do. It had her on edge but at the same time she had her friends with her. Everything would be alright wouldn't it?

As Hel returned with the pills Mitsu looked curiously to the little capsules. "I..I guess I will hold onto one." Yes, hold onto one. If the time came Mitsu would gladly give it up to someone who needed it more. While they were all part of a group she felt some of the others had a stronger standing. Taking the little pumpkin pill Mitsu stashed it away inside her pocket for safe keeping. "So what now?"

Team Awesome

Feeling a sense of protectiveness over the girl, Shun remained close by Mitsu as they awaited further instruction. The pills were divided up among the rest of the group and it seemed they were all more or less set to start. The Reaper took a moment to look at each of his.. teammates for this excursion.

Briefly, he glanced to the other groups of students as well, but he didn't pay them a great amount of heed. Apparently Roch got summoned by the boogeymen, but that wasn't really any of his business for what was going on there.

Aside from that, holy Jack Mot seemed to be on something. He never heard the cowboy fire off so many questions. It was like he had a semi automatic rifle instead of a revolver there.

"Settle down. Save your energy for our task.. whatever that might be," he mumbled.

"We wait to see what we need to do next," he replied to the werewolf. He figured that Red or one of the others would soon point out where each of the groups needed to go.

TeamVenture

Crew-al indeed.

"Three very important pieces. I'd have really ******** liked five but... you know since we have FIVE CREATURES.. but as long as we get through this alive we won't need them." It was easier now for him to talk so loosely of the venture at hand- later he'd be cursing the pumpkin king himself for the misery they no doubt would suffer. Bul nodded at the manticore then glanced to Bea. He did not return her smile though his facial expression was more welcoming than dismissive.

"That's two so far-"

Demi's arrival was settling as now they only needed a final member to show. Heh, seemed he underestimated all the ghouls' timeliness. "You'd wonder huh. I don't think it'd matter should one of us get our s**t rocked. By then taste would become nonexistent.." he sighed- he'd come close to that before himself. Too close.

"We just got one left right? Once she gets here I'd rather get started right away. Red's friends there don't settle too well with me..." he muttered the last part in close quarters of his group. "Look at all these other bizzare costumes... " he added with a sneer.
