Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iolanthe smiled as the large serpent contorted her tail to make 'stairs' for her. She was finding it surprising how often people did something to help her (and others) during this awful, awful field trip. Then again, Quarria was supposedly being selfish at the same time - not that she could blame her. She knew first hand what it was like to be incapable of creating body heat.

"I'm Iolanthe, Gabrian's sister," she said politely, placing a foot carefully on the first of the 'stairs' and reaching out to steady herself with the provided wing-rail. Upon seeing that it was sturdy and seemingly easy enough, she made her hobbling way up onto Quarria's back. Once there, she sat down with a deep, pleased sigh, shoving her bookbag off her shoulder and setting it carefully beside her.

"Thank you for the ride, I am definitely grateful for not having to trudge through that awful snow anymore." She glanced down over Quarria's side and made a waving motion to Gabe. "Hurry up, slow poke, we do have a job to do you know."

Draven laughed as Eracs chose their next direction. "That works!" The scarecrow's method was as good as any, as far as he was concerned. As he began to move in that direction, he looked around. Students and battles everywhere-and mystery up ahead. It was a little fascinating, and a bit fun. One could forget the cold in all of this excitement.

"Onward!" he laughed to his friends. He hoped luck would be on their side.

Quiet or not, this deer had some ears on them and was still attracted by the pretty song.

Pretttyyyyy!

HP: 6

Alcie was slightly caught off guard when the deer showed up. Frowning, the water demon quickly grabbed her sack of joy and pulled something from the bag. She grabbed a few gaudy ornaments and began chucking them at the deer.

Eeeeepppp!

The Deer lets out a horrified shriek as it bounds around the ornaments being tossed at it, bleeting sadly as it's hit by some of them and giving the water demon a sad doe-eyed stare.

Y U DU DIS TO ME?

Gabrian tilted his head a little at Alessa, watching as she hesitated to take the offer (in fact, he was distinctly sure she'd been about ready to decline until he'd spoken up - how interesting!), "Aw, come on, Alessa. You can't tell me you wouldn't like a small breather after that trek through the icy path. You were carrying a large portion of my weight for a long time there until I felt better," this was not entirely untrue - it'd taken him a while to manage to... slowly pull his weight off the smaller ghoul. Though it'd been more because he hadn't wanted to give away that he wasn't as bad off as she'd thought he was than anything else, "That aside, if poor Quarria is feeling anywhere near as bad as I was feeling after that snowman was defeated... I'm pretty sure she's going to appreciate the extra warmth!"

That said, he made his way towards the by now familiar dragon's frame. Unfortunately for him, when he was half way there, he felt the transformation slowly take place, tugging at the pit of his stomach. The shift happened before he reached Quarria's side and he suddenly found himself in serpentform on the ground. He blinked a couple of times and then huffed out in irritation before making his way up Quarria's frame, "I hate this place so very much," as he said that though, his golden gaze landed once more on the strange little houses, and he allowed his tongue to slip out and in several times, tasting the air, "Though I have to admit, the houses look delicious..." after all... trick or treating candy had to be similar to this candy, right?

As his sister climbed up the dragon's side, Gabrian hissed at her, scowling as much as a large, python like snake ever could, wibbling his small fins for effect, "I wish I were much smaller! If I were smaller, I could have been comfortably curled up inside someone's clothes! Instead I have to suffer this horrible cold," another huff, "I'm most handy in my own environment, Io! It's hardly my fault I can't swim in this stupid snow," despite his words, when the demoness climbed up, he curled himself partially over her lap, nuzzling her side. Then he turned to look up at Quarria, offering her a smile of his own, "What a nice cousin that was, then," he had to chuckle, finding it impossible not to at the mental image of a yeti as the larger serpent's cousin.

As Junko accepted the offer, Gabrian shifted his position to greet her, rubbing his head eagerly against her side before squeezing himself between the two ghouls, hoping to absorb as much body heat as possible, "Pink elephants?" he paused, "I'm not sure if I'd have preferred that to the snowmen and yeti actually..." ah, but yes, the larger serpent-dragon WAS of a huge help, as far as he was concerned. His ear fins lifted slightly as Alcie began humming a carol, and he arched a brow, "Musically inclined, Alcie?" he managed a small smirk, though he decided against commenting on her choice of song.

Did everything in Christmas Town speak like that? For a moment, Alcie felt a little bad about throwing things at him but she quickly reminded herself of the damage that had been done to her fellow peers. Quickly shrugging off the guilt, Alcyone went back in for another attack. Moving in close, she went in and attempted to land a punch. Hopefully she wouldn't miss.

Alcie's health: 24
