Welcome to Gaia! ::

Quarria couldn't help but swell on the inside as her friend recognized her. Even in this, her true form. She smiled (Which somehow still looked like a smile, even in her dragon-serpent form. And not even a scary smile.) and her frill of feathers rose a bit like an excited bird. "I'm sorry if I worried you. I guess I got a bit more launched then most, which I blame on my lighter bone weight. I caught the tail end of the gnome's speech, so I hurried over here as fast as I could, after grabbing a bell (Can't use anything else really). Glided a bit, since I wanted to stay under the tree level." She fluffed her wings for a moment, trying to generate a bit of warmth.

"Winston." She rolled the name around on her tongue (Fun fact: Amphithere tongues can be up to six feet long.) as he said it and then grinned lightly. "I like it. Winston. It suits you. And of course I forgive you. It's not your fault the train threw us apart." Her tone was sincere as she spoke to her ghostly-dog friend named Winston. She noticed his accent had become thicker, and found that she still liked listening to it as he spoke, AND she could still understand him. "I'm sorry that we lost your tea before I could heat it for you. Oh hey, do you know which path we're going to take?" She asked Winston (as he'd been here longer then she had), looking around at the others, noticing one girl had seemed to have lost her shoes. That had to be absolutely freezing for her, as it was very cold for the Amphithere, (she really needed a heater soon, but for now her wing feathers would do) even against her's scaly frontal plating.

Almost of instinct, Quarria's long tail flicked over to the shoeless (and now cloth-footed) girl (Junko). "If you need to, you can catch a ride on my tail. The bare snow, even through cloth, must be cold." She called in their direction as the end of the tail crunched into the snow by the two (as there was a demoness (Sin) with the other one.). Her tail had at least a circumference of three feet where the girls were by, and that was one of the thinner places. A few feet up from there as it progressed toward the main body of the dragon, the tail thickened even more. It would be easy for someone to sit on it, sidesaddle if needed. (She could raise the end, so they wouldn't have to worry about smacking into the ground or anything, too.)

(Last paragraph directed at Junko and Sin.)

Sin looked at Quarria's tail surprised then looked at Junko uncertainly.
"Maybe you should for a little while? At least until we find a less snowy area?" Then again it was up to Junko if she wanted to take the ride. Sin smiled at Quarria though grateful for the offer.

"I'll be fine for a while, if I don't keep moving myself I'm liable to freeze." She looked over at Alcie who sadly had the same breezy type of outfit on. "If we stick together and keep moving we should manage to keep at a fair temperature." If they put up their tents later tonight and snuggled they might actually manage some warmth.

Well whatever they were doing they had best keep moving before anything could catch them off guard. Though so far the little walk had been rather uneventful.

That wasn't quite what Junko meant, it was the fact that Sin was tearing the skirt she was wearing already that she was getting upset. It was very good to hear that the kimono she had made for Sin was okay though. Very good indeed. She sighed and relented, gasping again as even Alcie tore at her skirt. But they...they needed them too! She felt awful now making them do this. Did she still have her emergency sewing supplies on her? She hoped she did. First chance she got she was totally repairing their skirts! Junko lifted her foot for Sin as she took hold of it, blinking and holding out her arms at her sides to keep herself balanced until Sin suddenly started to touch them with slightly warmer hands. Haha! Hahaha! Th-that tickled! Hehe! She giggled helplessly and wobbled on her one foot, trying really hard not to fall over. It tickled! And it felt funny to have something warm suddenly against her icy cold feet!

When Sin was done Junko looked down at her friend's handiwork and wiggled her toes a bit. "I hope so? I don't see why not. Thank you Sin, Alcie, you really didn't have to." Junko gave each of them a small bow of gratitude as she thanked them, looking up when someone's tail was suddenly near them. Hmmm? Oh! This was for her? But...but she had these makeshift shoes now she didn't want to weigh her down!

"Junkoooooooo." She started, sounding more frustrated by the second. Luckily Sin gave her input first and Junko sighed with relief.

"Yes, thank you very much! I'll keep your offer in mind, but I should probably work the circulation back into my feet." Junko hopped a bit on her toes. "Sin's right though, we should all stay close together. Work as a team, right?" Junko heard a series of sneezes and someone muttering angrily shortly after that, turning to spot the poor ever-changing gryphon. "Are you alright?"

Still clinging to Lizzy, Amrita followed her fellow students and car companions into the Festive Forrest, wrinkling her nose at what she saw. The cold didn't bother her; her dorm room was well below freezing to help her body not decompose; though she had to admit that this WAS a good thing, the cold; with everyone's pins and apparent natural abilities not working properly, she had to wonder if her natural talent to halt the decay of her possessed body was still working. Hopefully it was, it would be a shame for the body to decompose any more than it already had! What did bother her was the snow. She'd never felt or experienced it before, and it was like trudging through lighter mud. So weeeeeird.

"Are you okay, Lizzy?" She asked her friend, worried that the girl might be cold. Apparently the other Demons and that one Monster girl were all cold, so perhaps Lizzy was too? She stared up for a moment at her friend, then turned to look around for Christof and Johan, hoping that they too were still okay. She didn't see gnomes carting them off, as they had been for others...

"Yea, the crash was pretty rough, glad to see you doing good too." Basil eyes grew in shock at the sight of Jamais' wings, but quickly returned to normal."Have those always been there?" she pointed to the wings. After realizing what a dumb question that was Basil chuckled trying to sound like she was kidding.

"Eh, if there was no danger it would be less fun, so doom and fun should go hand in hand." The reaper huffed as she readjusted the tent on her shoulders. "So I guess he is optimistic...In a way"

Basil turned around and started walking backward next to her companion, looking for the two students she had been with before. With a delighted gasp she saw LW and started waving her free arm."LW! Over here!" she yelled in hope the monster would hear her. "Gosh, she looks cold." and where is Kilometer? Basil glanced around again.

She found it odd that she was able to walk so easily, guess the boots helped. Basil turned her head to Jamie "How about we make our party a little bigger?" Basil had a grin almost the whole time, sure she shouldn't be so happy in the current situation, but it was hard to help now that she was on her first adventure.

Tree's Damage: 2+2=4 / 4-6=-2 (0 damage to Sin)
Sin's Damage: 2+5=7 / 7-6=1 (1 damage to tree)

Sin jumped and then froze for a moment as the wobbling tree approached her. Sin had taken flirtations from a lot of boils in her life but this? This was simply intolerable! She ducked as it came towards her and rolled back gasping as she landed on her bum in the icy snow. She kicked out hoping her heels would shave some wood off the tree.

She had dropped her bells though and swore as soon as she could she would tie them securely to her wrist. She flipped her hair back and tried to make sure Alcie and Junko were at least out of harms way. Well the bigger they were the harder they fell and this fir tree was the biggest bit of wood she had ever laid eyes on, and so full of JOY.

"Ooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww..........ain't no need ta' play hard ta' geeeet, ma' lil' rosssssebuuuschhhhhhhhhh," the creature slurred, wobbling to and fro, trying to turn and simply flop onto the succubus, in an attempt to pin her to the snow. It was a little hard when there were five blurry images of her though..........
