Welcome to Gaia! ::

Genora was on her back after the whole haunted house ordeal happened. Slowly the world around her wasn't so dark or so blurry. She blinked as she slowly sat up only to find out that she wasn't a she anymore. "Jack dammit!" He said as he rose to his feet. His dress was too short so it almost showed the black panties underneath. "I wish I had some pants right now..." He said with a sigh before looking off to see a few ghouls and a boil on a skateboard. He blinked as he walked towards them then had to take a double take to see that Mort was there. "Seems like we keep running into each other." He said with a giggle.

Alex was very pointedly not looking in the direction of Danny and Yin. Covered or not, fire was fire! And then there was always the chance Danny would start shooting fireballs from his person at any given moment, which put Alex completely on edge. (never mind the cuddling!)

It was actually quite comforting when fem Mort put a hand on top of her head, and she automatically leaned into her legs, enjoying the cold that emitted off of the other zombghoul much more then the unbearable heat that Danny boil gave off. It was also quite comforting just being near other zombies, as it reminded Alex of his horde back home.

Speaking of zombies, another one was wandering over towards their group, this one a boil that seemed oddly familiar....

Roch laid on the ground, her eyes closed, a slight snore escaping her as she slept happily. It wasn't the first time he--she'd come back sound asleep, it probably wouldn't be the last.

But the little ghoul shivered, the cold ground sapping her heat to the point she woke up. "Jackdammit, where are--" She said, looking around blankly. Her eyes fell on what was probably a male Danny hugging people, then on a male Xiu who was trying NOT to look at male Danny, then on...

She looked down. "Oh, they're back!" she said, peering down her shirt again. Then she reached up, tugging the front of her mohawk down and going cross-eyed to check--yep, purple again.

"Oye!! Danny!" she called as she got to her feet. "Gimme a hug, I'm freezin'!" Yes, blatant usage of fire demon best friend happens no matter what gender Roch was. She even had the gall to hold open her arms.

Yin's face crumpled. Mister Danny did not recognize her and had just left her standing there awkwardly. She glanced around and noticed that Alexander was now talking to a couple of different zombies. It was probably nice for her to be around her own species for a change. But there, right there next to everyone but not really being included was Mister Xiu-Ying!

Would it not be simply awful for the demon to not be part of everything going on?Not wanting him to be left out Yin quickly made her way over and plopped down on the side of him away from the small but growing horde of zombies, sitting cross-legged in the grass. "Is everything okay Mister Xiu-Ying?"

She knew it was a stupid question to ask. So many things had happened to them...how could they be okay? "If you need to talk to someone I am here." Well, that was odd, she was always willing to listen but rarely found herself offering to do so. Suddenly a horrifying thought crossed her mind. "Oooh Mister Xiu-Ying I am so sorry! You gave me your hat to take care of and when I woke up it was gone!" She began scanning the area she had come from, just in case it was still there but quite upset because she knew that it was not.

Xiu had spaced out, and it wasn't until Yin approached him did he snap out of his stupor. Of course, it took him a minute to realize that Yin was talking to him--the "Mister" caught him off guard. However, after he blankly stared up at the ghoul for a moment, a smile spread over his face.

"I--yes. I'm sorry, I was just lost in thought!" After all, a lot had just happened. Shoving those thoughts aside for now, he turned and grinned brightly at his friend. "And thank you, Yin! I always appreciate your company." He was glad that the mantodea seemed more at ease around him now that...well, now that he was actually a boil.

...but no, seriously. Xiu wanted to be ghoul-Xiu again very soon, please.

The sudden apology caught him off guard, his eyes widening in surprise as he watched his friend look this way and that in search of that missing hat. The missing hat that was...probably not so missing. "Yin, it's alright! I'm pretty sure that that hat--like the rest of my outfit--had been an illusion or something. I have the originals in my dorm room." Reaching out, he gave the ghoul a reassuring pat on the hand.

...........

Whut?

"Danny. I AM Roch," Roch said. "You're a boil now, I'm a ghoul, but I'm still me. Remember when granddad summoned his piano? We told you that only HE could summon it. Just like only I can summon Desiree. Lemme... um..."

She shrugged, pulling the strap over his shoulder, then frowning at her smaller hand. "This might sound funny, since my hands are the wrong size, but here," she said as she started to play her "Danny song."

Alex appreciated the head patting, she really did. It was distracting from certain things happening in front of her that for some reason had gotten her all upset. But it was ok now, because she was with Mort, and with Xui, and Yin could have all the hot damned cuddles she wanted way over there with Danny boil. After all, Yin had a thing for Danny, didn't she?

At least, that was the conclusion Alex had come too after the school assembly, and she was sticking to that conclusion until it was proven otherwise.

But then that purple haired mohawk ghoul appeared. Roch, Alex thought her name was. She was telling Danny to give her a hug, and Danny was obliging, and leaving Yin all alone again.

Was that..satisfaction Alex felt? She frowned. Curse these ghoulish emotions! They were all over the place. Seriously, how did ghouls even manage to get through a day without screaming, crying, laughing, whining, or getting angry at least ten times each?

She saw that it didn't take long for Yin to move over to where the rest of them were sitting, but the zombghoul kept her lips pursed and turned her attention towards the zomboil walking towards her and Mort.

Wait..cutie? Who was that directed at? The compliment made Alex's chest feel warm and tingly, and she giggled into a hand.

DAMNIT!
