Welcome to Gaia! ::

In which there were suddenly two squabbling teddy bears.

"OW VAITH OW

"RUDE."

As each student finds a buddy, (or not, it seems Desu-chan got a bit distracted with a rainbow butterfly fluttering about), the Trick or Treater motions for them to follow her out and away from the hell-o landing pad out to the town.

Only...The town is less a town as much as.. a huge park. Sort or. Gazebos line the streets, filled with couples, many looking like stuffed animals or people made of chocolate. No one is alone. Probably why Desu set you in pairs. What buildings there are look like dating places. It would be all very romantic if you know, the choking feeling of something wasn’t around you, your FEAR was not feeling like it was being sucked out, and it was less pink and glitter and- well it’s certainly Desu.

The ToTer seems to not pay much mind, smiling and skipping along the glittering stone path. You can spy what looks like a factory in the distance but- This place is just sick with its.. something. You don’t like it. In fact, it almost… hurts?

Her attention was caught by a very tall boil in a diaper. Though his attire might be off putting, but ohhh, what a gentleman he was! Bea was already impressed with his manners. "Well, since you asked so politely, I'd love to be your partner, Ulmuka," she said sweetly in reply. "I'm Beatrix, but most call me Bea." A sweet smile came across her face.

Not too soon afterwards, a ghoul came by giving away chocolates. Bea loved sweets, and chocolate was always a fun one to snack on. Just a little stop to eat one wouldn't hurt! Bea took one bite into it only to realize how shockingly terrible it was. It was she just put minipet poop in her mouth. She could die.

With her new partner strutting ahead, maybe it was a good idea to just avoid them all. Especially after tasting that chocolate. "Hey, Ulmuka, do you have anything, um, to get rid of this nasty aftertaste? I shouldn't have stopped for chocolate..."

Following Muka's lead, Bea did the same to keep up with him. Tall boils have long legs that take long strikes after all.

Alex wasn't quite sure how it could possibly be much worse then wearing an incredibly short, tight nurses outfit with the label of 'Doctor Feelgood', but when his eyes wandered towards where Leo was staring he had to stifle a snicker. Okay, well, then it really could be worse, he supposed. Mind you, he didn't exactly care much about the outfit he had chosen for himself. He had gotten to keep his boxers on, and his tie, so while it was extremely odd, it wasn't exactly uncomfortable. He offered the strix a wave, in any case, not really knowing Muka well but remembering that he was a friend of Yin's.

"Well, shall we go into the town then?" He asked his partner with a grin, nodding towards everyone else who were already beginning to depart.

The town itself was...odd to say the least. As well as somewhat repulsive in a way. He supposed it was all the pink and shining happy people that was turning him off, though their was admittedly something in the air that reminded him of the feelings he got whenever he was around his boilfriend. Dangerous feelings. Ones that he had told himself he was going to have to stifle and keep under control until a certain weremantis was finally ready for them.

Whenever that was going to be.

In any case, Alex shuffled his way through, suddenly very adamantly staring at the ground in front of him instead of at the different couples wandering about together, doing their couply things. At one point he glanced upwards, spying the factory in the distance and nudging Leo with an elbow. "I think that's where we're headed. Stay close, this place is starting to creep me out a little bit." He eyed the inhabitants skeptically as they wandered past them, brows creased in a frown as he continued on.

At some point in his travels, a man began to drift along beside Alex, singing some slow and smulchy song of love and happiness. The zomboil chose to ignore him, wishing fervently that this dress had pockets that he could dig his hands into as he slouched along. Instead he had to settle for reaching up and adjusting his tie, or running fingers through his already very unkempt white and black hair.

"Seriously this guy needs to back off." He muttered, as the singing continued, annoyingly, aggravatingly, to the point where the zomboil was ready to scream.

The singing only got louder the more he tried to ignore it.

Despite that, the zomboil eventually found himself wandering up the path that led to the factory. It had seemed that, regardless of the singer, he had made it unscathed. This valentines day land stuff was a total piece of pumpkin pie.

Luckily it turned out to be fairly easy to find him again. "Hey." She grinned, slightly winded from running to catch up with him. "There you are! Got a bit sidetracked, sorry."

They were close to the factory now, and she looked at it with wonder. What did they produce here? Chocolate? She really hoped not, if the taste of the chocolate she'd had was anything to go by. "Wonder what they make in there?"

No, no, the cape wasn't helping at all. Levi was about to call West a "Teddy Princess" who was missing his crown when she was nudged at the hip by his furry costume. He sure had a wider waistline right now in that thing. Abandoning her cries of laughter, Levi sucked it up and tried to take West's costume more seriously- like a disguise. She tried. West, ya' can't possibly be thinkin'- aye! When a bear with considerably glossy eyes took a hold of West, Levi began to get nudged at her hip again. This time, from the opposite side of West. Wide eyed, Levi turned her head. Huh? Nothing. That is, she saw nothing until the ghoul peered down and saw petals that fluttered at her side, prodding at Levi.

What in'tha- um. Hi.. fellar. Uh, whatcha'doin'thar? It could be a customary greeting? Levi tried to use her stealthiness to keep a low profile- she didn't want to be found out here.

The red rose churred at the ghoul and enveloped its leaves around her calf, embracing her leg like it was the very meaning of its life. A-Aye now! Nice'ta meet'cha but... yer on'ma leg. It didn't seem to speak, so the tatzel gently shook her leg in an attempt to get it off. It didn't.
