Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shun's comment gained a bleary glare from poke, but she did remove herself from the two ghouls, sitting back and stretching her arms out wide. Whatever the powder was, it was pretty potent. At least she was starting to feel normal again.

"I'mallrighhttt" She responded to Xius question while yawning, "justalittletirred" She then flopped back on the ground ready to go back to sleep. No one was moving yet so she'd take a little nap...

Or she would of, had she not heard a faint scratching noise.

Her ear-fins flickered at the sound, causing her to sit up again and look around for the source of it, standing up when she failed to see anything. It sounded like something like tiny claws scratching against the ground, and it was coming towards her, but she couldn't' see what it was.

Suddenly the dragon ghoul spun around, the scratching sound seemingly coming from behind her, but still she couldn't see anything. She stood there scratching her head wondering what the heck was going on, until she felt something...soft...and fluffy...brushing against her tail.

"Huh, what in the...." She turned around to see what it was, and wasfaced to face with one of th emost cutest things she had ever seen in her life

It ran towards her, pawing at her pants with it's little tail wagging away a mile a minute

"......"

"yip! yip!"

"......."

Now it was running around in circles and barking

"......."

She didn't make a move. She just stood there, staring at the tiny creature that seemed to be the embodiment of cuteness. Was she frozen in fear? Actually, poke had no idea how to react to the thing. Her instincts were giving her multiple messages, like "holy jack that thing is too cute get rid of it and "Is this supposed to scare me or something what the jack is going on it's doesn't even come up to my knee as well as maybe if I'm nice it will let me pick it up and hug it?"

Wandering down the hallway, thoughts aloof, the frost demon barely noticed it but smiled at the insect boil who and taken her hand. Wait, was that Natalia's tail in Vero's pants? Edel stiffled her laughter and hid it under a visibly strained, but indifferent face, turning away before it got out of hand. They had finally caught up with the other group, the excitable strix quickly onto them as usual, and Vero too, had begun assisting them from under a giant teddy bear. The boil was generous with his advice, though how....helpful....that was for the rest to discern. Greetings were barely exchanged before something else, something big had started to occur. Walls trembling and small bits of debris showered the group, but what awaited them was far more daunting.

Edel coughed and choked on the overwhelming odour that emitted from down the hallway. Squinting, her blue eyes spotted a giant conglomeration of what were those? Vines? The herbaceous monster sprouted a wide array of coloured blossoms, a jarring sight to behold. The voice from before sounded through the building once more, pretty much dictating that they were to get past the vines. How? It was not said, but it seemed like the only option as an ominous rumbling started to erupt from the other end of the hallway they had come from.

Perhaps they should strategize, that was what the frost demon had in mind as she turned to the others to decide on their course of action. The canine boil, however, was already having a go at the vines, doing what could only be logical – violence. It worked though. The zombie ghoul was onto it with her hands too. One by one students and visitors started tearing the vines apart, and the plant in turn retaliated with a gush of pink haze and an even thicker miasma. The noise behind them was getting louder and louder. Edel was feeling a little – useless. With her current condition, she should have at least offered a hand at the vine battering. She approached the vines cautiously, but was promptly taken back by a swarm of butterfly-winged bunnies that had erupted from behind them. She ducked, trying to shield herself from the sprays of glitter the bunnies were assaulting them with. The vines! Edel turned around to watch the progress on their only route of escape. Vines writhing and flowers swaying, the monster had nearly given way. One final blow and SCREEEEEEEEEEEECHHHH, a deafening shriek rang in their ears and the haze – now so thick had knocked them out.

How much time had passed? Edel wasn't sure as she recovered from her sleep, rubbing her temples gently to ease the abating headache from earlier. Ah, Ulmuka was nearby too.

“What....What just happened?” she questioned the strix, slowly getting to her feet, stumbling a little under the spell of drowsiness. She looked around at the mass of sleeping bodies that littered the floor – did everyone get knocked out?

((Hallway))
“Thank you Ulmuka”, she mumbled as she took the hand he offered her, gripping it lightly as she regained her balance. The strix too, was visibly drowsy, though his optimistic nature still shone through with his giggles. Edel smiled and was put at ease with the thought that he was alright at the very least.

“It is indeed,” she mused, “I wonder how actual school life would be after all of this.”

“Hopefully less glittery,” she added as an afterthought, giggling slightly. She felt a little light-headed now, perhaps it was the aftereffect of being drowned in a pink haze of flowery smells. Tucking away a loose strand of her blue hair, she turned to the strix and gave him an earnest look which said Are you alright?

“Perhaps we should wait for the others to recover?” she said, peering at the still snoozing students and visitors on the floor, some curled up and others sprawled out flat. Numbers did help a little with taking down the vines after all, though the frost demon regretted the fact that she had been of very little use.

((Hallway))
The little spirit was not good at combat, so it was probably for the best that Vero had stayed its hands from trying to combat the vines; after all, it had been entranced by the flowers anyway.

It wasn't out for long, though, as Art shook him roughly awake. Confused, Vero sat up and blinked its large eyes up at the demon before he pulled it to its feet. "We see and understand, but we must always know why," it persisted after a yawn, turning to see who else was up.

The dog demon was still pestered by the weretiger apparently: the latter had fallen asleep upon him. "Would you like some help?" it asked, spying that Mooka and Edel were awake as well; and once again Vero had the opportunity to watch as Art took the frost demon's hand and kissed it.

How many times did that make it today? Mooka had done so for all the ghouls prior, so . . . four times, was it? "Is that a custom we are not aware of?" Vero asked, blinking. "If so, we would like to discuss it as we move ahead."

It glanced at Natalia's still sleeping form. Ah well, it would bring her along by the tail if needed; it felt as if it owed her.

((Hallway))

Woke up with a terrible headache, Zeke was feeling too sick for this Haunted ride. Dern. I might have to come back later.

Mo was surprised to find somebody more shocked than she was all she could do was sigh. She wanted to get the pink off her foot but it would seem she would have to suck it up. She looked back at the boil "no..no..no it was all my fault I slipped on some paint."

Mo backed up this really wasn't her day she pulled her hood down on her face more. She looked at the boil "you think we could stick together" she almost whispered this. It is always best to be in numbers she thought she was freaking herself out more than this place was.

Damien was having a grand old time in lala land, chasing a pack of flying rabbits with a flamethrower. All was grand as he chuckled happily and threw a few fireballs at them until his grandfather chased him down with a giant pair of pink scissors. He didn't know why they were pink but he wasn't going to wait to find out as he ran for the hills, screaming the entire way.

However back in Halloween, the hound was trying to run around while on his back, not really getting anywhere as he stared to groan and whimper. "No... no... don't cut my tail, no....." he whimpered like a little scarling as he felt the slaps and practically jumped out of his human skin as his eyes finally looked around him. It was still scarier than his dream. He let out a little groan as he tried to work the kinks out of his shoulders from sleeping in such an odd position on the floor and man his tail's fur was all distorted and out of place ....

was there saliva on it too?! the green eared boil had a scowl on as he stared at the patch of fur that seemed less dry than the others. "What in Jack blazes happened to us?" he said gruffly, sleep still evident in his rumbly voice to the were tiger that woke him up. Oh how he prayed it was his own drool on it and not Faint's.

He has seen this haunted house when he was scopeing out everything that was in the festival. Now he had desided to try the place out for himself and walked into the place not really knowing what he could find inside as he gave a little shutter to what his mind thought of and it wasn't very pleasant thing either. Shaking his head of those thought as he walked in and started up those long stairs wondering to what he could find and if he would meet other people along the way.

Adyian didn't know how long those stairs has been but he finally had gotten to the first landing only to see that everything was pink and that was slightly desterbing to Adyian but it wasn't too scary. As he slowly walked on he could smell the scent of some really strong flowers and didn't like it very much. But to add insult to injury the floor was covered in glitter to which made a crunching sound as Adyian walked in the glitter and he made a funny face as he starred to shake his feet to get it off but was only succeeding in kicking it up and everywhere now and he just had to grumble at the disgusting stuff and how long it was going to take to get off and he also held his tail high also to make sure it wouldn't get too glitter covered.
