Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ohai! You're the ghoul from before. Want better experience? JERRRKYYYYYYY~" While the whole bag had slipped from his jaws this time, Mitsu's generous portion left behind was definitely more than enough to satisfy him - well, for now. The lil' gator chowed down on the food in mere seconds, gobbling it up as quickly and easily as a person could breathe.

Aaaah~ "Dun need heater if y'got company," Lafayette told Shun, licking his lips of stray bits. "We can huddle together. LIKE LITTLE CHILLIES. I heard they do that. Do they?" OuO "I bet they also taste like cockatrice . . . OH, thank yooouuuuuuuu, Fluffyyyyyyy~" The nearest part of her got licked gratefully.

And now the Invi bobble head was being watched . . . almost hungrily. It looked comical, what with the manner of its head bobbing and all. Lafayette once saw a bird bobs its head like that. Well, that was before he ate it at any rate. Raw bird was gooooood.

Cameron was indeed on the scene, though keeping somewhat a low profile in the crowd. The rain and wind was doing all sorts of nasty to her already hard to maintain hair, and she huffed every time she had to push about a third of it from her face. Damn, she should've thought to bring, like, a hoodie or coat or something. Picking up her phone, she scrolled through the contact list until it reached her newest acquisition, upon which she typed out a quick message.

Still coming 2 trial or did rain scare you away? wink

As she finished, Cam heard someone calling out bets, like this was a horse derby. And like the derbies, she couldn't resist at least seeing who else's interest had been piqued. The reaper slunk her way over, a hand to her face to prevent her volumes hair from curtaining it again. "Sure those'll last through da weather?" she asked the boil who seemed in charge. "I'd hate t'make a bet only ta lose it all 'cuz've a bit of water, y'know?"

The beach had been fine. Dev hadn’t minded the beach that much. In fact, the demon ghoul had rather appreciated the warm weather, although she couldn’t exactly say the same thing about the sunniness. But this time? This time it was pouring. Hard. Dev had shrieked as soon as she stepped out into the rain. She was familiar with wet weather, but it was as if it would have been a better idea for her to jump into a lake! At least the spectators were able to sit underneath a barrier as the trials went on. She grumbled under her breath as she wrung water out of her braid while she searched for a free seat. It was rather crowded here, but then again the trials were hot news. Once Dev spotted a couple of empty chairs her eyes lit up and she plopped into it. The ghoul shuddered at the unpleasant sensation of water sloshing in her boots. Even more unpleasant was how cold she suddenly felt. As she kept her eyes glued to the screen, Dev cringed. Oh Jack. Good thing she wasn’t participating in these trials.

She leaned back in her seat, her tail curled while she intently watched the contestants attempt through the courses. Her lips curled into a toothy grin as Dev watched a couple of them fly away or fabulously fail or both. However, she seemed particularly curious about the little green creatures they all toted around in their backpacks. Oooh. What were those things? Ears perked, she decided to lean over to the ghoul next to her and whispered, “Is ‘at th’ lepus guide they waur talkin’ abit? Looks cute.”

Woe should have been had for Sura, for the moment she had taken to stop and look at things was the moment someone decided it was time to scale her and visit the wondrous heights. Okay so maybe Sura wasn't super huge but that wasn't going to stop Savior from wanting to climb on her.

Savior liked climbing and she had no idea where the hell she was or what she was even doing. At least it was cooler her? She missed the warmth though and wondered if they would be going back to that warm and sunny place any time soon.

King eyed the small kitten with less a need to chase so much as idle curiosity. Did Jack..carry kittens often? Looking back to the screens he watched, particularly at those of the team Tomoko was cheering on. Even if it changed from wind and water to fog and humidity- it still wasn't snow. He'd be happy if it was snow. Once it was snow, he’d feel okay about these trials and their way of putting everyone in places that to him, were more or less slices of hell. At least Halloween was dark and didn’t have sand, and a bright sun and it has snow. Beautiful snow he could bury himself in. This place? Rain and a lack of anything remotely plesent. Granted this time it wasn’t so bright but still. He was a wet dog.

"Hrmmmm." Looking at Jack and Tomoko then back to the screens he sighed. "Strength is not always about one's body or power. To me, I see this as-- a test of strength of conviction. Of determination and will. If one were to judge my physical power alone- would not a majority of monsters win by their nature alone?"

Looking at Jove's team he smiled. "I think that if it more a test of one's inner self as I think it is meant to be, then the teams are their own worst enemies in this case."

YAY SOMEONE WAS PLAYING WITH SAVIOR! She was more than delighted that she had a place to sit now and Savior placed her hands on Sura's head, cooing beneath her mask. The Marrowstripe wasn't big on words so she just sat there instead, watching the events unfurl.

She was supposed to be cheering for a team but she forgot. Oops. Was there even someone out there she knew? By this point in time her avoidance of West had made her all but forget him and that was sad.

Sura just thrummed contentedly, not worried about any 'introductions' of sorts. It looked like the Marrowstripe had gotten comfortable up where she was, so the Colossus was fine with her just staying there anyways.

Even if someone behind the yelled about the pair blocking the view. Sura just passed them a creepy a** stare then continued to watch the trials, her tail flicking back and forth with a violent force she didn't intend for it to have.

[Entering]

Kekoa ran through the portal on all fours with a purr like sound. "More games!" He said aloud happily as his tail wagged like crazy. He stopped when he noticed that it wasn't that sunny like the last place, but felt that it was something better than before. Koa stopped after exiting the portal as he looked around for anyone that he had interacted with before. His eyes lit up when he spotted Lumi. "LUMI! OVER HERE!" He yelled with his hands cupping around his mouth then waved for her to be able to see him.
