Welcome to Gaia! ::

"..."

Oh Jack. She was about to cry. He could tell with that little wibble of her lips. Dismissing his daggers, he stepped closer and gently placed his arms around her.

"Shhh... it's alright," he sighed. Perhaps his words were too dark, "All you did was send it home. Where it belongs."

Well maybe not. A part of Shun actually hoped it was Dead. Dead. Dead. That was him though.

Hel was, unfortunately, not sympathetic towards Mitsu’s plight, and if anything, she found it pretty damn awesome that the Lycan crushed it in a hug.

The ghoul dismissed her spear and waved her hand a bit, keeping the minty scent in Mitsu’s direction. She then placed her hands on her hips, and pointed her chin up in the air, away from the cowboil who was trying to give her back the jacket. “No, you stay warm, Mot! I do not need it.” Nor was she taking it back. She looked towards Shun now. “Do you think this could be happening all over the school?”

Since Mitsu seemed to be calming down, Shun looked over at Hel and Mot for the moment. It looked like they had settled their issue as well. Keeping his arms around the wolf girl for the time being, he looked around, thinking.

"It looks like it's snowing all around. I would not be surprised if this... JOY infestation is happening everywhere on campus. I have to wonder if this is the same case for the town," he frowned before noticing the barrier in the distance.

"Is.. that a barrier?"

"But.." He just said it wouldn't fit! He looked down at the garment in his hands with a sad expression of helplessness.



Mot looked to where Shun had mentioned, noticing Xiu and Riyo enter before that. He'd have said hello, however... "Why is there a barrier..." He frowned. Just what was happening here? That rat king happened, and now..

Maybe it really was the Apocalypse. Maybe the Horsemen were ending the world.

There was a small look of awe on Riyo's face when the duo stepped out to what was... A winter wonderland formerly known as the campus. Red eyes stared up at the sky as fluffy pieces of white fell from the sky. It was... Beautiful, really.

"Huh? Cold?" The ghoul asked when Xiu questioned, smiling when she processed it. It looked like. Wait. What was she...? Was she lifting up her shirt? Oh. There was an identical one underneath.

... Huh. "I always layer my clothes." the feline pointed out and tucked the shirt back in with a sigh. Jack, she wanted to touch the snow. She knew it would be cold, but it called to her, and before she could deny her curiosity, the ghoul's hands were scooping it up. Honestly, she'd never played in the snow...

"This is really cold..." Though very pliable. With a flick of the wrist, she had herself a snowball. The whole time she was forming the little orb, her ears were perked to Sammy's explanation. "So.. We're not in Halloween anymore?" How... Strange.

Smiling at her almost perfect sphere, the ghoul examined it before glancing at Hel. "Catch." She gave the valkyrie little warning before throwing the snowball at her with a smirk.

Mot listened intently to Sammy and the others talk theory, or not so much theory as fact. For now, he held Hel's jacket in a way that was like a muff around his forearms to keep them warm.

With a wince, he watched as Riyo threw a snowball at Hel. He was about to say something but was cut off with a loud sneeze.

Damn cold.

He sniffled.

Hel looked exasperated as Mot gave her a very sad look. No fair! She was trying to do something nice for him and he just wasn’t accepting it! “Just…keep it on your arms like that, alright! Sheesh.” She rubbed the back of her neck, and nodded in greeting to Xiu and Riyo as they arrived, and then looked at the barrier as well. “…Why…would there be a barrier though…?”

The ghoul then gave a nod of her head to Sammy when the undead ghoul approached their group, and listened to the thoughts and information that was being passed around with a furrowed brow. When Riyo called out to her, the ghoul turned just in time to get a face full of snow.



Hel was not amused.

The ghoul reached up to wipe the frozen material from her hair and face, grimacing all the while as she glared at Riyo. She took her time getting the snow off. After a bit, she immediately crouched down and scooped up some snow, packing it tightly before chucking it back at the cat demoness. That was just a distraction snowball though, because Hel then scooped up a ton of snow in her hand, and lunged at the cat demoness…where she then grabbed the ghoul’s collar and stuffed the snow all down her shirt.

"Merry Christmastival."
