Welcome to Gaia! ::

In an attempt to get out more and do things Aldara had found herself wandering by the auditorium. She had passed it once, circled around, passed it twice... And then finally given up to go inside.

Her eyes had widened at how strange everything was inside. Weren't humans for scaring? What exactly was DETH? These were all questions that she should have asked before proceeding inside, but upon spotting two sets of familiar colors amongst the others she figured it couldn't be that bad.

Without approaching either of the two, she headed to the front to pick up her form first, putting a solid check next to the movie of her choice.

Corpse Bride

It sounded like a romantic film. Nothing wrong with a little romance, right?

What better way to get to know people than by filing into an auditorium with them? No better way, he thought to himself with a smile. Smoothing his fingers over his coat and taking a moment to adjust his cravat, Tenniel intended to stride in as though be belonged there.

Instead he wound up sneaking around the edges, brushing quietly past people until he could claim his own pencil and piece of paper, checking off the movie of his choice before handing it back in.

Beetlejuice

Maybe it was a movie about cocktails.

Mayaa's "sister" senses were tingling.

Eyephones were a curse and Mathias still had no idea what had provoked him into purchasing one. The damn thing was always beeping and buzzing at him, telling him he had screamail and text messages though he barely even knew how to check either. Most of it was just junk, but he read it all, and even in some cases, investigated them further.

Like in this case, where he found himself in the auditorium, looking as grumpy and uncomfortable with his surroundings as usual, his eyes downcast for the most part as he gave the posters side long glances, his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze sliding along the legs of gathered students, wondering if he might recognize a pair.

With a huffing sigh, he dug his phone out, and tapped at the screen a few times with long claws, then proceeded to attempt to type out a message to the one student he felt most comfortable around that he could not see here.



It was so awkward, and his face was flushing red by the time he hit the send button, before he resolutely stared at his phone and waited for a response.

Selene let out a high pitched squeak when she peeked through her fingers and saw the grue leaning in to offer her his scarf. She pulled her hands away, and brushed all of the tears off of her cheeks, before delicately plucking the edge of the scarf and holding it in her hand.

"Oh.. oh you are just.. so..so..." Nahm's generosity sent her into another bout of fresh tears, this time out of joy for the kindness of the student body.

Helmut was, in typical Helmut fashion, not really sure how she got here. She had been too busy gnawing on an unbreakable jaw breaker candy to really pay attention to what was going on, and when she ended up in the auditorium, well, that was a surprise to her.

After following the lead of several other students, Helmut looked at the list of names and, unsure of what was even happening or what they were, wrote down Coraline, because for some reason it reminded her of a congaline and congalines were fun.

The ghoul then retreated to a quiet space - which was really just her sitting on the floor in between a row of chairs - and went right back to gnawing away on her supposedly unbreakable treat.

"Me?" She squeaked out, dropping the scarf like it was hot and staring up at him with wide, startled eyes. "Why, I guess I never, I suppose I should.. if it is for the good of the students... yes! I will place a vote!"

She had an entire conversation in her own head, based off Nahm's question. But sure enough, she moved to write down the word Corpse Bride down on a paper and setting it in. She nodded slightly, and then turned back up to Nahm with a smile. "I chose Corpse Bride, you see, because it is a stunning tale of inter species relations. Undead and human, making bonds, saving one another.. truly it is the best example for your young minds to learn from." She blushed a deep, helpless shade of red, and ducked her head. "And it's sort of a love story.. too... which is nice, isn't it?"

Mathias was 99% sure that he must have done the text messaging thing wrong. He waited for a reply, and none had come. He frowned, his lip curling back from his teeth as though an intimidating look might force the unholy contraption to do as it was meant to, and indicate to him in some way that Jove had received the message.

But no indication came.

"Auch! Ridiculous piece of---" He began, when suddenly something -or somebody- bumped into him, making his ears perk up and swivel in that direction, before he slowly turned and took a peek at who it was.

Oh! It was Jove!

"Ah! Guten tag, Jove!" He smiled, "This is nice, nah? Vas thinking might vant to be ah---participating." All Mathias knew about humans was what he had learned from that very kind and beautiful ghoul named Solia at the Haunted House, and she seemed more then okay.

Alexander was not a fan of DETH but he was a fan of movies. He figured it really couldn't hurt too much to check things out for himself.

With a tired look in his pale eyes, he shuffled into the auditorium, gaze sliding over the various posters, before he noticed a voting station.

Wandering over towards it with a slight stagger in his step, he gave the list a glance before making a snap judgement selection.

Corpse bride sounded too ghouly. He marked down Shaun of the Dead, then wandered away, rubbing a hand over his face and through his hair, once again wondering if putting up with members of DETH was worth the experience.
