Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hel’s tongue stuck out in concentration as she tried to get Mot’s hat, and the effort worked! “Most excellent…” She murmured, lowering her spear and grabbing the cowboil hat. The reaper made a small face as her fingers touched some of the cobwebs, finding the material to be rather sticky. Hel dismissed her spear, and then held out the hat to Mot. “Here you are, friend…”

The ghoul glanced down at Riyo…who was still attached to her leg…? Then over at Shun and Mitsu surrounded by protection charms, and then finally, over to the door. “…Say…let’s get out of here, eh?”

The ride in the boat was much longer when you couldn't see where the end was. Mitsu was thankful that Shun kept giving her updates because really it was a guessing game. With whirlpools swishing and sloshing on either side of the boat it was almost impossible to tell if they were on the safe path but apparently they were.

Mitsu did her best to stop wiggling in the meantime sitting as still as possible though at times she still twitched. She was trying not to go into a full out panic but what if her mask was stuck on her face forever?

When Shun eased the boat into the dock Mitsu felt for the platform off to the right. Carefully she climbed out with Shun's help and stood there once again trying to pry the mask from her face. All she managed to do was nearly get her hand stuck to the item as well. Not gonna panic. Not gonna panic. Not gonna.....what was that smell?

The scent of cat n** caught Mitsu's nose like a slap in the face. It was strong but she wasn't entirely sure what it was. It was then she directed her attention to the group her ears listening and her nose still sniffing and picking up on the smell of meat. Catnip and meat...what kind of combo was that?

Mitsu was about to ask what was going on but there was a sudden gust of wind and from the sounds of it Mot was not pleased about something. "What hap-" And then something rained down upon her head. Mitsu squeaked in surprise jumping back and dangerously close to the edge of the platform. It seemed like a few of the protection charms had gotten stuck to the cobwebs on her head and it was those Mitsu found by touching her head gingerly. "What are-"

It was such a strange shape, it was smallish like candy, but it didn't feel like candy was what was inside. Mitsu racked her brain trying to picture what it was. It seemed familiar in a way. And then it hit her....sex ed class came flooding back to an embarrassing degree. A blush of bright red took over Mitsu's face and trailed down her neck and shoulders. If she knew where to hide she would. O/////n//////O

"Y..yeah, t-the next room." Mitsu nodded to Hel enthusiastically prying the protection charms from her head and trying to drop them. Or at least she managed after a moment. A couple of the protection charms had come off with some of the cobwebs and had stuck to her hand initially. After some flailing the items soon dropped to the floor.

The webbing seemed to be stuck on pretty well as Shun placed his hands on either side of Mitsu's face to get a better look at the situation. It didn't seem to be easy to remove right now, but he was determined to find some way to help her. His thought process was soon interrupted as protection charms suddenly rained down.

Wh-what? What the Jack was this house trying to say here!?

Off to the side, he saw the dancing meat, Mot jumping around for his hat, and Riyo looking like she was on something. Wait. What were those plants back there? Was that catnip?

Shifting somewhat uncomfortably, he just reached up to remove the charms stuck to Mitsu's head.

"Yeah... let's go," he agreed before letting out a sigh and taking the wolfgirl's hand to head towards the door, opening it.

Mitsu let out a soft whine as Shun took her hand following the reaper where ever he was leading her. Were they going to the exit now? Feeling a little in the dark at the moment Mitsu's ears perked hearing Hel call out to her. The lycan shifted nervously in place before she finally nodded. Yes...yes she wanted the mask off.

Feeling Hel's hand, Mitsu turned her head toward the Valkyrie as she took in the situation with the lycan's mask. Yes..it was very much stuck in place. She stood still as Hel felt around and tugged but it didn't seem like the mask wanted to come free from her face.

"O..okay." Mitsu nodded to Hel as she began to brush through her hair to get what she could out of the way. There was a fair amount of fidgeting involved as Mitsu tried to exercise patience but it was unnerving having her mask STUCK to her face.

"Cut?" Mitsu's brows furrowed as she turned in the direction she had heard Hel. From the length of her hair it was obvious she didn't cut it often. She liked it long but then again...it was just hair right? It would grow back she just wanted the mask off her face....NOW. "O..okay." She said quietly giving the go ahead.

As instructed Mitsu stayed still. Her ears seemed to give a twitch with each snip of hair feeling the strands fall away before they fluttered to the ground. The mask was getting looser though and with that came relief.

It seemed to take some time as Hel carefully snipped away hair from around the mask until finally the Valkyrie took hold of the item and pulled it away. The strands of hair that had not been cut feel into Mitsu's face as she looked up at Hel nervously. For the first time the winged reaper was seeing her face and she was nervous about what she would say.



What Mitsu didn't expect out of the response was the cheek pinch. Her eye clenched shut on the side that Hel was pinching a bright blush crossing her face. "Uh, thank you." Mitsu tried to manage while the Valkyrie was still pinching her cheek. It didn't come out just right though sounding a little distorted.

What was up with her class mates trying to hide their faces, she wondered? Thinking back to Mot, and then of course the Lycan right in front of her…did it have something to do with concealing their emotions from the enemy like Mot suggested once? Possibly?

Regardless, the mask had been hindering Mitsu when it was stuck to her face, but now it wasn’t anymore! The reaper held the mask out to the Lycan, for her to take back and probably stash away in her bag. “Here you are, friend.” Hel replied, her hand releasing Mitsu’s cheek to instead come up and pat her head, between her ears. The ghoul turned her head when the cat demoness was suddenly next to them, checking out Mitsu's face as well. Goodness. "How does that expression go?" Hel mused, "High as a kite, yes?" Her lips tugged into a smirk, as she was amused.

Her cheek released Mitsu lowered her head slightly letting the hair fall over her face. Seemed she was going to take Mot's approach to hiding her face. Taking back the mask carefully Mitsu fumbled with it for a moment before she finally turned and stuffed it in her bag. It was still covered in cobwebs, but even so...she wasn't sure she wanted to put it back on her face just yet.

It was then she heard Riyo and Mitsu's ears fell back as the feline came up close. Too close. "T..touch it?" She swallowed hard as her eyes grew wide. Thankfully Shun stepped in between them and Mitsu quickly hid behind the reaper her hands clutching at the back of his jacket. Nervously she looked up toward him and gave a nod. She wasn't injured just....she wasn't sure how she felt.
