Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ ENROLLED STUDENT! ]

Akakios may or may not have been dozing off his trip in Wonderland still, but the bang of fireworks was certainly enough to wake him up. Rather rudely. He literally jumped up a bit with a yelp and found himself peering around the room in a spooked state as he tried to find the source. And then another went off. A light whine of sorts which may, or may not, have been heard by his roommates before he wandered toward a window and peered out. Only then did he realized what was causing that rather foreign noise. Fireworks.

What were those? Still, he hunkered down a bit to watch for a few seconds before deciding to investigate. He was a brave Cerberus. He was a brave Cerberus... if only just a little. So with that in mind he found his way out of the dorms and to the main gates. Only t find pandemonium. Out of one fire and into another apparently. Thankfully the noise did drown out the light clank of chains that usually accompanied him, which let him slip over mostly unnoticed due to his small stature. Being only thirteen helped... for a bit. And then he got spotted.

And voluntold. "A-ah... but..." He'd only been here a short while. He frowned a bit before finally nodding to agree after a bit more pressure. He... he could do this. So slowly he turned toward those collecting the orange badges. "Hello! I'll help! I'm Aki!" He offered up, peering around at the group curiously, his tail wagging a bit. It did mean meeting someone new afterall... and a distraction after what he'd seen. This would help.

Al almost caught the student who plowed into him, but it was more like he was clinging to her to catch his own balance. His nubby wings flapped to stead them, but he still ended up hoof over horn on the ground. In spite of having quite a lot of pointy bits, he made a decent pillow for Olivia to crash into, jingling as his various jewelry clattered around on him.

This was probably one of those times when you'd apologize for sending you both crashing to the ground or maybe even a word of gratitude for being a pillow you didn't really need. Or maybe even a greeting. Nope, that didn't happen.

At first the ghoul was very silent and staring up through her bangs at the possible person she had run into. He looked a little familiar but she couldn't quiet place it as of yet where she had possible met him before. Instead she stated, "oh, we fell." At least you didn't get a prolonged period of silence, Al! Congratulations!

A group of nameless people pooling around him, Ezra could deal with. But when someone actually approached him, beginning to babble about quickly how he was alone how she wanted to show him around, well, that bothered the boy. What was so wrong about wanting to explore alone? It was less invasive that way, a far better situation to go and observe people for, indeed.

Ah, she was that sort of person. Touchy. His paper-like skin seemed to burn at the very idea of being touched by someone new, someone strange. Certainly this young woman want kind enough to take him around, but he would rather keep his hands to himself if possible.

"Hello, Simply, My name is Ezra. And I do not wish to come off as rude, but I'd appreciate it if you could keep your hands and other appendages to your self, please. You are a fine individual, I'm sure of it, but you are still a stranger and I am not comfortable with your.. Overly affectionate ways that have been displayed so far. I'm more than willing to be your shadow for the day, if you should still choose to take me around." He ensured to stay out of her grasps, taking a few steps away so that she could not reach him so readily, and gave her smile and a quick nod, tapping his chin as he thought of where he wished to go.

"I'm more of an individual who actually find pleasure in the academic part of the school, I would like to think. Maybe a location where actual learning takes place? This is a school, and as exciting as those places sound, I would like to see how the educational aspects are set up, and then more extracurricular activities, if you would not mind."

She raised a brow briefly at his swift escape, tilting her head to one side. "Rude? No one's rude." She chimed happily again, nodding a bit. "It's good to meet you Ezra, so then..." She seemed to muse a moment as she took a step closer again, not really seeming to have paid much mind to his aversion to closeness. Everyone one here to be friends, so creeple should get used to it. "Classrooms are boring you know... but..." She idly swaye d abit as she thought. "Learning... well they're all the same... oh but there was that time at the human world..." She couldn't take him there. Oh dear. "Libraries are boring too." It was probably becoming evident she didn't share many of his opinions. "But if you want... there is that." She added, smiling a bit too widely for it to be safe.

"You know. There's THAT classroom!" She called before nodding a few more times and once more reaching to snag him to forcefully drag the fellow along. "We can look there!" In truth, he'd likely had little luck even attacking her and keeping her away. Hunters hadn't had any such luck the last few times. Why would a few words work? "It's one of the old ones..." She added, nodding more to herself than anything. One she didn't particularly go into.

[[ Enrolled Student ]]

The sound of loud booming outside him room made him toil in his bed with a groan. Why would anyone be doing this now!? He had a heavy work out yesterday and he was still utterly sore. Way to sore to get out of bed right now. Tossing his pillow off his head, he sat upright, rubbing his eyes with a wide yawn. He tends to flick his tongue out a few times after he yawns. Weird habit, you know? He grumbled under his breath as he crawled out of bed. First the strangest dream he has ever had and now someone was setting off fireworks again. He'd wager it was the monsters for some sort of festival...

As he looked up from his bed, a little garden gnome was glaring at him. They had an intense glaring contest before he saw the demon flag unfurl before him. CRAP! TODAY WAS THAT DAY! Scrambling, he grabbed his clothes from the back of his chair and the jacket off the door. He didn't care if the little thing saw him in his boxers. He didn't see the gnome shake his head and stalk after him.

He had received a letter a few weeks ago talking about today. Today was the day that Brenna was visiting! His little sister was on campus somewhere! Sprinting through campus, shoulder his jacket on, he made his way to the school's gates. Hopefully, she hadn't already been picked up by someone!

[ ENROLLED STUDENT - Amrita ]


Amrita had spent the entire night awake, preparing for tomorrow - the open house was coming and the Patchwork ghoul, as a member of the Student Council, needed to be at the top of her game. She had no idea her school mates were off in another world in their dreams, and was ignorantly blissful of the suffering they found within. Instead of sleeping she simply read up on Amity history - a subject she knew inside and out - and looked over maps in order to (again, uselessly, as she knew the school like the back of her stitched hands) find the best routes for the best tours.

By the time the boom sounded, she was already out of her dorm and near the gates, ready and very willing to help any new or hopeful student to the school. When the gnome came to push her, she shot it a glare, one that simply dared the creature to touch her.

"Yes, I am aware, go bother someone else~" The ever-diligent Vice President waved the gnome off and, after rubbing her face as if it would clear away the irritation at the interruption, moved to scout the crowd for any promising orange pass holders - or just anyone who looked completely lost.

The ghoul spotted her prey rather quickly, swooping down on the demon boil as soon as he made his way through the line and got his bright orange pass. "HI! Welcome to Amityville, my name is Gene and I'll be your guide today~" She chirped with a cheery smile, grabbing the boil's hand and shaking it. "So, tell me why you want to study at our great school!"
