Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alwine! I'm a little surprised but so happy to see you here!" To be honest, she didn't think the ghost had it in her. She was such a shy, scared ghoul, always worrying. This definitely showed that there was more to Alwine than meets the eye. Or neck. She was feeling stronger by the minute with them around. Maybe.. maybe they could stand a chance here.

"Hello, West, it's nice to meet you," she greeted the demon. At least she assumed he was a demon. Sometimes it was hard to tell but you couldn't mistake the horns and tail. He had some damn bright hair though. The kind that you wouldn't mind playing with. Would it be long enough for pigtails? Probably not. Besides, if he was a demon, he was certainly a guy not to mess with. Krumm car had given her a new perspective of demons but she wasn't so foolish to assume they would all be her friends, or at least friendly to her.

"If we had trees attacking us in the woods, do you suppose we will have peppermint candy attacking us here? Candy Canes? I wonder if we could eat our way through them," she commented curiously. There really was no telling what awaited them.

The Reaper let out a sigh of relief, "So no more will be-" Colette heard footsteps and a familiar voice headed toward them and turned around to see no one other than Alwine. It seems she spoke too soon, Oh man, another Krumm.

"Hey Alwine.." she tried not to sound bothered, but she didn't sound overly happy either, which was normal for the Reaper anyway. She would only feel worse if the ghoul really was stuck alone though. Plus she had called Colette a friend, or at least Colette hoped she was included in that, and she felt bad for even planning on running off in the first place.

Ultimately, she said to stay safe; and avoiding that island/water and mountains was safe. Sort of. Plus Candycane Land hadn't lived up to its description yet either. If anything, at least they were together. Traveling in a group worried her still though, they were quite noticeable.

The Reaper shoved her hands in her pockets and sighed, "Well. We're together so we should be good. This doesn't seem as bad as what the gnome said either," she actually sounded pretty satisfied and optimistic.

The thought of Rain munching on a candycane enemy made Colette laugh, "Maybe. At least we won't go hungry."

Basil was really confused with West "Wait..you like fighting..just for fighting? What do you gain from that?" She hugged her box from the tree to her chest, she loved getting free stuff, and if she had to fight for it in her pathetic way, then she would.

She turned her head back to Jamais and watched her cheer up with the pill but still felt shameful "It's not that you were being a...sour puss? I just guess I can act on impulse sometimes." Basil smiled back at Jamie and shrugged her shoulders. "For now, yes, maybe more will come, hard to say."

She looked at the distance and sighed. "The quite of this place is starting to annoy me." Basil was kicking her feet as she walked, wanting to run ahead to loosen up.

((Trying out colours.))

There was a steady thumping sound coming from behind the group and if they turned around they'd see a bloody and exhausted looking ghoul steadily catching up on them.

Huffing a little Mandy finally caught up with the group, she'd been afraid for a while that she would be left behind to travel the lane on her own. Giving a tired wave she steered herself towards Alwine who had been the final piece of motivation to get her down this path, "Hey, I'm Mandy.", this last part was obviously added for the ghouls and boils in the group that she didn't recognize.

((HP: 16))

"Fine. Just, you know, acquainting myself with the path." He let Colette tug him upright, in spite of her surprise at seeing other car members heading their way. After spending some time with the ground, Barth felt safe in assessing it as sticky.

"Thanks," he said to Colette. "You look, err, here," Barth said, fishing his weapon of choice from his pocket and, giving Mandy a single bell ring.

He hadn't remembered all the blood on the train.

Barth was probably not the best person to be taking up healing responsibilities, but the bell was doing most of the work. How many zones did they need to go through, anyway?

The dog finally caught up to the bunch and sat on his haunches with his tail wavering back and forth. "OH CARRY! I CAN CARRY THINGS!" He puffed out his chest being a husky they were BRED to carry things. He then stopped and lifted up his paw offering it to anyone that wanted to 'shake'. "I'm Danny. I come from the Gromble car...It's nice to meet you all." His tail kept wagging back and forth...

"And no don't eat the candycanes...they taste very bad." He had heard the question as he ran over. "It'll suck the FEAR right out of you!"

Raziel was growing more and more antsy with the size of the group. He was on the verge of suggesting everyone split up into two groups. He could see that one of the reaper ghouls, Colette had similar feelings. And to top things off, even MORE students were finding their way out of the forest. At least the group had continued to move despite the constant interruptions.
