Hearing Isra shouting his name, Jericho took his attention away from his potential meal for a moment or so to see what was up. It seemed like the Siren was just rooting him on... in a rather drunken way. The dragon also noticed that there was a rather dead elf some distance behind Riley, who was now looking a little battered from her battle. In fact, the Siren was helping her walk right now.
When he turned back towards the reindeer, ready to snatch it up and gobble it down in a bite or two, he saw that it had simply exploded. That was slightly disappointing as there wasn't really any meat left. But... there were those burritos and jerky. Good enough he supposed. Quickly eating those, he left the candy and took the bit of loot the deer had dropped as well
Shifting over towards the others, he crouched down so that Israfel didn't have to keep supporting the Mindflayer, especially since the Siren was already carrying someone it seemed. Not to mention that her feet were no doubt freezing right now from standing in the snow.
"Alright, hop on and hang tight. We've got some catching up to do," he told her, "We'll have to see if we can find Malodore for your leg..."
Speaking of the Plague Doctor, he hadn't seen it anywhere in the area.

((Because Johan needs better friends XDDDDD <3 edit: Didn't see Amrita's post until now! edited!))
Christof sighed in relief, patting his shoulder and giving it a flex to make sure the fellow student had lashed the arm on tightly. It seemed to be holding... for now. If he kept himself from harm, hopefully he could keep himself together. With a nod of thanks, he clapped Johan on the shoulder, gently guiding himself to his feet, which thankfully stayed under him.
He definitely didn't like this place. But where were they supposed to go next? Students had generally been flooding that way... he motioned for Johan to follow, stooping only to pick up his and Julian's packs. He'd have to get this back to the owl eventually. Just in case, he picked up his stick-crutch as well. If anything it could be used to bludgeon anything else that wanted to attack them.
When Amrita came to join them, more relief flowed through the healed hunchback. But where had Lizzy gone? As she checked with the Reaper, Christof glanced around for any sign of her or the horse-boy.

It'd been several hours, and there had been several battles for other students in the area. After some time Cyrilla had slipped from Merope's back. As large and strong as he was in his true form, that strength certainly would not be limitless. She gave a comforting pat to his side as they made their way carefully through Christmas town.
Eventually they seemed to land at their newest destination, and she stared off towards a pink door just up ahead.
"Guess we're gonna go that way Mero." she nodded her head in the door's direction, pointing her friend in that direction.
"Let's get this over with."
((Exit to Pink Door))

Sin spotted the Workshop ahead and smirked, ahh the goal at last! She cracked her knuckles and paused to double check her gear. One tent Three gifts One pill Two jingle rings One change of clothes (kinda) She nodded and then looked at Alcie, time to go...

Riley reached up and grabbed at Jericho's neck when it was offered, but she found that she couldn't swing her leg around him as she normally did. This was ridiculous. She was seething with anger at how vulnerable she felt - her biological connections would have terminated and consumed her for sustenance by now. These people, these.. friends, she could consider them if she fully understood the word - seemed to be determined to keep her going.
She clutched her heart with her hand. There was some kind of horrible, terrible feeling. It must be the JOY. It must be. She was, perhaps, frightened, for the first time in her life.
Just.. just give me a minute. She would need to pull herself up by nothing but her arms.. so she psyched herself up for the pull.

While she was offering Jerky to the gryphon she turned to face Julian again. "Hey you made it, still in one piece too." It wasn't meant as an insult but it wasn't exactly the nicest geeting either. Turning back to the Gryphon she let out a grin, "Hello to you as well. So will you be joining the leigon of creatures? I'm sure Shehk and Nuk shouldn't mind too much." She glanced to Julian again, "Your welcome as well. The more people the less chances we get messed up by some scrawny gnome wana-be or a ravaged deer monster."

"It's too bad the deer blew up like that. I would have given you its head if you were hungry at all," mumbled Jericho as he patiently waited for Riley to pull herself up. He had to imagine that it wasn't easy to do so with an injured leg, but he couldn't just leave her here with the elves and deer around to take out.
Speaking of which, he was watching around carefully for any signs of the horrible creatures. The jerky and burritos helped settle his stomach a little, but he could definitely still eat more. He was almost tempted to take a bite out of a gingerbread house to fill him up. Almost.

A bruised hand scratched at her arm, nails digging into the equally bruised flesh. Her skin felt so tight! The further she was getting into Christmastown the more she felt like a glove that was a size too small; still wearable, but mildly uncomfortable.
While she had directed her question to Johan, she noticed Christof looking around...which made her look around, too. What was he looking at? Was there something weird around them? Well, Weird-er? They were in a bright, happy JOYful place after all, it couldn't get any stranger than that.
"Oh!" It clicked, and she jumped a bit in surprise. "L-Lizzy wasn't feeling well! She set up and a tent and, um, said she'd catch up if she could." She left out the part where Lizzy nag-threatened them to look after her, as she didn't want to burden them...and because she planned on staying near them as it was.

Shehk had remained seated, chewing on her bounty..though she did look to the gryphon with a slightly curious nod of her head, sort of like when a feline was pandering for you to come over and pet them.. or was wondering if you were going to at all. Either way, Shehk made a not-quite-a-bark noise at her, before picking up the hind leg in her mouth and getting up to romp over to Nukpana, shoving the chunk of meat at him as well.
Hey, it was going to be the best meal any of them had had in some time. And the raw stuff was always better than the silly cooked stuff. She liked some juices with her meals, if nothing else. After dropping the leg-chunk in the snow at the skinwalker's feet, she attempted to lean herself up against his shoulder, her hind legs in the snow while her front flopped onto his back, attempting to grab at one of the bearwolf's ears.
It helped that she wasn't terribly small by comparison, if nothing else. But if she grabbed at it enough, maybe Nuk would play along with her. Or she'd grab at it if he tried to eat some of the leg she'd dragged over with her.
NO USE GOING THROUGH ANY DOORS ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
OM.
NOM.
NOM!

Merope stopped as Cyrilla indicated a door, his jaw hanging open. "WHAT?" He hissed. "You want ME, a BOIL, to go through the PINK DOOR? You've gotta be out of your mind Cyr! Cyr? CYRRRRR! Come back here!" He shouted after her.
...Well, that didn't do anything. With a sigh, Merope took off after his friend.
(( Merope has gone through the Pink Door! ))

"Let me carry your bag," Draven said to Alerick. "We need to catch up with Eracs." He reached out to take the bag, managing both wouldn't be difficult.
Then he saw what Eracs saw. Well...that was it, that was their destination! So very close now! Draven had a moment where he wondered what exactly was waiting for them, but then again, it almost didn't matter. They were going to enter that workshop no matter what!
"Let's hurry!" he said to his werewolf friend, as he saw Eracs enter a door. Grinning, Draven dashed towards the workshop.
((Off to enter the Blue Door! @Sleet-I am assuming Draven took Alerick's bag, but I left it open in case you wanted to decline.))

Julian's brow furrowed a bit at the ghoul's "greeting". It wasn't very polite and while he'd been cold to her, he hadn't been rude that he thought.
"Constant shifting, an overly happy tree, and a stuffed elephant with some sort of anger issues don't outweigh my survival instincts," he replied with a shrug. They didn't outweigh some of his other instincts, either, but he didn't really realize those, much less would want to talk about them.
As if taking the cue just to grate on his nerves, he shifted again, his lights falling in a heap beside him. His huge eyes narrowed at the ground for a moment before rolling upward. Fate or whatever vindictive force behind his life really didn't like him right now, in his eyes. Whatever. Unable to say anything more, he hopped and walked closer to Tahki and stood at her side, trying to make it evident that he was sticking by her.

Sepheran was starting to lag behind, so much so that he didn't get to see where his train car friends had gone. Now he was stuck at the end of the road as Liannan talked about different colored doors. So he had to pick one huh...well he was comfortable with the black door...but then again that might be a horrible trap set up for them knowing halloween town's students liked black...so instead he decided to go to the red door. It seemed the safest bet, and hey, red was the color of blood. Now having decided Sepheran set off for the red door.

Let's see...did Junko have her things? She had one pill, her wreath, herself, two gifts...she was good to go, right? But now they had two doors. Which one did she want? Junko looked around to see where everyone else was going, deciding she'd stay with her group; Junko followed Sin and Alcie through the Black Door.
((Junko zoning out!))

(Sounds good to me. )
Nodding his head the werewolf let Draven take his loot bag. That done he nodded his head and rather then run ahead he kept pace, easily, with Draven. Four paws leaving prints in the snow that his tail swept away, his tail was rather on the long side.
When he was human again, and comfortably talking, he'd have to thank Draven and offer some way to pay him back for all the help since it seemed he may spend longer in animal form then Draven had.
Running at Draven's side he made his way for the workshop and Eracs.
