Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was the screams that had attracted Gabrian over to the scene, and not the flyers; it was quite probable the nix demon hadn't even seen the flyers. Otherwise, he would have never come out of his dorm room to investigate what in Jack's name seemed to be going on a few rooms down the hall. He pocked his head out and spotted the room, from which the voices (and no doubt, the previous screams) had emerged before scowling slightly. Apparently having not taken heed of the saying that claimed that curiosity killed the cat (or snake in this case), he padded out into the hallway. One of his arms curled around his Prism Scareon, securing her against his chest as the other reached to close his own door, not at all liking the idea of his pets coming out and causing some sort of catastrophe.

Still scowling somewhat, though it was more due to confusion than anything at all, Gabrian peered into Claire's dorm room, "What in Jack's name is going on? I hears screams," as he said this though, the Scareon he'd been holding squirmed and demanded to be let down, catching the nix by surprise. The result was that he was not able to keep his pet in his arms; she jumped right on the ground and stalked towards Claire's shoe, one paw raised in the air like a curious cat.

Stunned silent for a moment, it too Gabrian just a few seconds to recover, "Is... everything alright?"

Jericho had been in his room on the phone with Riley, discussing the matter of her minipet being on the loose. However, the conversation was cut short when he heard what sounded like screams in the distance which was followed by the Mindflayer requesting he get there quick. Hearing the skelyphone line get cut, he let out a sigh and quickly left to head on over to the demon dorms.

He didn't know what was going on really, but it didn't sound very good from what he picked up. So the dragon traveled as quickly as he could, flying to the other dorm and storming down the halls. It would have helped if he knew which room to look for exactly, but it seemed there was one dorm with the door opened. It was as good of a lead as he could get right now so he hastily made his way there. Sure enough, he spotted Riley inside, along with a good chunk of other students.

"Alright, I'm here," he stated while catching his breath, "Riley where is it?"

As he asked her this, he was looking around trying to get a feel of what was happening here. The dragon didn't see a Cthulu out in the open, but it had to be in there somewhere. A part of him was wondering why all these students were in this room though; was there a party going on or something along those lines?

Aksaja had been wandering about the campus, rather bored . . . when quite suddenly, he spotted Jericho headed over toward the demon dorms in a hurry. Now, just what was going on with that . . . ? Curious, the lightning dragon decided to follow his fiery counterpart.

Once inside, though, he slowed - noticing the flyers. Oh ho, a party hm? Peering over Riley's shoulder and around Jericho and Gabrian (sort of), Aksaja could see a bunch of people sitting around, some peering under the bed and so on.

"So is this where the party is . . .?"

Alessa had a lot of lepuses, this was true, but she did recognize them all and when there was a lepus among the group that wasn't hers, well, she knew it. She also knew exactly who's it was. Why it had been cuddling up with Lance, her swashbucking lepus, was beyond her. Or maybe it wasn't. She really didn't need little lepus babies on top of it, so she had carefully taken Gabe's pirate lepus in her arms and marched over to the Demon's dorm. When she got to his room, though, and peeked in, he wasn't there.

"Where did he go...?" she asked with a sigh to the lepus in her arms. "He's probably missing you." Probably. He might have a harder time keeping track, though, with all those minipets he had...

She turned when she heard something not far off, a lot of noise actually. Still holding the little rabbit creature in her harms she slowly made her way down the hall, only having to go two doors away to see an open door to a room filled with people. Not only people, but the boil she'd been looking for. She sighed. "There you are, Gabe. I found Shiro in my room, I thought you'd probably want her back..." She blinked, wondering what was going on...it looked like a bit of a commotion.

Most of Gabrian's attention was technicaly on his Prism Scareon, so it was no wonder he didn't really hear Alessa coming up until she was right there beside him. Blinking, almost as if out of some sort of daze, he turned and looked over at the ghoul, "I..." a pause, followed by a scowl as he lowered his gaze to his lepus, "What, exactly, were you doing, Shiro?" The creature in question blinked owlishly and seemed to smirk but otherwise did nothing, "I'm sorry Alessa, I can't-" he paused again as he caught movement out the corner of an eye; the creature, whatever it was, had let go of the Scareon, whom whimpered and swiftly ran back to her owner, practically climbing up his trouser leg to hide in his arms, her back tentacles still flaring.

Having recaptured his pet (sort it - he'd technically done nothing, really), Gabrian looked over to Alessa again, "Do me a favor, would you? Just hold onto Shiro for a bit. I've got my arms full here. I think she's scared to death," as he said this, though, the Cthulhu ran out of hiding and straight towards them. Startled, Gabrian moved before he even knew what he was doing; with one arm, he moved to unconsciously shield Alessa, though at the same time... in his efforts to stay out of Riley's minipet's way, he managed to move the pair of them completely within the room, "Just give me a hand here, will you? Keep her safe in here with me until this commotion is done and over with," he managed.

He'd later, no doubt, hit his head on a wall for all of this - little did he know that he was sealing his own fate.

Why was it she felt like the few times she came to see Gabe there was always some sort of problem? Seriously, last time she had been chasing after a hungry reindeer and a moody death charm. And now his scareon seemed caught up in something...she did feel bad for the little thing, though. That other minipet, the one with the tentacles, was rather creepy looking.

At his request, though, her brows knitted a little. "But, I have homework to do tonight and the last time I helped out it took forever..." Worry tickled the back of her mind. She had a lot to do, more than she'd like, and she wasn't sure if she was going to get it all done as is. If she stayed...well she'd definitely have to skip some of it and she didn't like the idea of how that'd mess with her grade. Unless she gave up some sleep. She supposed she could, but it wasn't a favored idea.

She gave him a narrow sideways glance, her expression seeming to show the visible debate. Finally she said quietly, "You owe me. And I mean it for real, not just as a saying." As if to prove that she would want something later she shifted Shiro in her arms and offered out her hand, "You'll do the favor next time if I stay. Okay?"

((Sorry for the rush of posts >A> we sorta needed to er TRAP these two here before any mention of kisses was done and this was the only way we could think of doing it.))

"Oh, for Jack's sake, Alessa, I'll help you with whatever you want, if you do this thing for me!" in Gabrian's defense, he wasn't really putting much thought into what he was saying; Dream was scared for life (either that, or she was going to develop some strange tentacle liking in the near future - the nix hoped it the former), and there was still a minipet on the lose.

"Fine, fine!" he took her hand, and the moment he did so, visibly winced, because while she had no idea what they'd just done, he sure as hell did, "Aw, JEEZ!" he let go of her hand, and he had no doubt that somewhere on her body (he wasn't even going to ponder where), she had a snake mark to signal they'd made a deal. Dragging his free hand over his face, he turned to look inside the room, "I never even figured out what was going on here - What is ... supposed to be going ON here anyhow?" he was afraid of the answer now, actually.
