Welcome to Gaia! ::

“haha that it does” Samhain replied, noticing now that pretty much everyone had gotten a nickname. Ah well Sammy wasn’t that bad not really. Seeing as Azure had returned and was talking to him he turned his attention towards the fallen. “well truthfully I wish the little guy had stayed in my dorm room where my dorm mate could watch over him but when I realized he was with me it was already too late to run back to my dorm room…. Ah but yeah I can bring him out if he’s awake. He should be since he spent the whole carriage ride over asleep,” the last part obviously aimed at Bebe’s excited question. He broke away to briefly get his pack, and now he was faced with a decision. Did he put the mask on, he had taken it off so that it wouldn’t get lost while he was gathering wood but he was nervous around huge groups of people and lately he had been soo stressed that Salem had been coming out a lot. Surprisingly he found himself grabbing the pack and maneuvering his flitterat to his shoulder, leaving the mask safely in the bag.

He felt a bit bad for the people struggling to make the tents but they seemed like they were almost there. He had faith they could pull it off. It was nice to sit around the fires waiting for dinner and listening to Azure play, while Bebe seemingly dragged another person into their group. He hid a smile behind his hand and noticed Callixtus seemed to be taking pictures. It would be fun to see how they turned out. “You had mentioned wanting to see Dublin, well here he is. I got him during the last winter solstice, along with one of my other familiars.” Samhain said lightly coaxing the peppermint looking flitterat to crawl onto his hand. Dublin gave him an annoyed little squeak but none the less patiently sat there to be looked at.

Once again, Mahuyah had managed to grab one of the tent styles she was now very familiar with, and it took her no time at all to get this one fully assembled and ready to go. She couldn't help but smile, proud of herself for having done so well despite such a rough start early on. Good job, her!

Nashira blinked at Samhain when he said his girlfriend was pink, and glanced questioningly over at Bebe. Though there were other pink nightmare on this trip, Bebe was the first one she'd really met. But she didn't ask. Perhaps said pink girlfriend wasn't on this trip? "Well, it would still be pleasant to meet you again. And your girlfriend?" She added the question a little hesitantly.

Oh! Nadinia had waved to her. She raised her hand in a half hearted wave back as the Dryad went to speak to Claire about the wood. She was quite glad to hear that they were indeed done with gathering for the evening. That was great! She followed her 'power team' back in to the camp site, watching Bebe sit with an unfamiliar dryad, and wondered if they knew each other. That thought was short lived as Azure got his guitar out. She eyed the instrument appreciatively. When he started to play, Nashira couldn't help but start to dance. Her arms moved fluidly like branches on a willow tree, blowing lazily in the wind, and her hips swayed in time to the music that Azure played. She closed her eyes, loving to be able to dance, and tried not to think that other people would be watching her. He played very well, and Nashira wondered how the whole band sounded.

After a few moments, she realized there were flashes of light, and she looked. Callixtus was taking pictures of them. How embarrassing! Even though she had wanted pictures of everyone. When he seemed done taking pictures, Nashira held a hand to him. "Do you dance, Callixtus?" She was inviting him to join her as she moved around their new companions happily. Though she was self conscious about dancing in front of so many people (Or anyone for that matter) she was also quite relaxed.

She didn't notice Samhain bring out his familiar, she was wrapped up in her dance.

Coralie took a deep sigh before looking around at everyone else who was working so hard on their tents. They were all doing so good! Maybe she could get to know them better later on the trip? Right now she had to focus on her task, setting up tents.

Bebe felt a little out of place as people spoke of universities and their ambitions. She hadn't really put much thought it into it; she was only a junior after all. But once Callixtus brought out his camera she was definitely in her element. She tried to smoothly incorporate herself in almost every photo, often throwing up bunny ears or throwing her arms around these near-strangers. The whole time Bebe wore a seemingly permanent grin. She was momentarily distracted from photos, however, when Samhain pulled out his familiar. She didn't even bother hiding a squeal as she rushed towards the hybrid, practically bouncing on the spot. "Sammy! He's sooooo cuuuuuute!" she cooed, hands on her cheeks as she stared at the flitterat, "oh I just adore him. Can I hold him? Does he like strangers? Oh he's so cute!" She held out her hands excitedly, despite Samhain not saying yet whether or not the familiar even liked being held. "Don't think I've forgotten about you, Cal!" she shouted back over her shoulder, "I insist you take the photo with the two of us!"

Fortunately for her already slightly frayed temper, Zahneel's second attempt at tent assembly went much smoother. No snags or poles bending every which way. Sighing contentedly, She got the tent positioned just right and secured it.

Glancing up, she realized with a start that all the tents were up now. It would probably be a good idea to let Claire know. Getting to her feet and dusting off her knees, the grimm cast about for the tall demon, finally spotting them and waving them over with a smile.

"Claire! I think all the tents are up now!"
