Welcome to Gaia! ::

She watched as the blankets were dropped and sighed, getting down to sort through them. Junko was quick about it, not out of any kind of skill but more her desire to get this done quickly and get out of here and some of these blankets made her want to vomit. There was a point where Junko had to paused and inhale deeply, pursing her lips and looking away. One of these blankets was particularly disgusting...it needed bleach and lots of it. "The less dirty ones don't need to be bleached. Save the room for...th..those." Junko lifted an arm to bury the lower half of her face in the crook of her elbow, coughing a bit. Ugh. Gross. Her other hand pointed at the crusty and disgusting blankets. They would need all the room they could get with those things!

Junko sniffed and looked away from the grossness, spotting Red come up behind Calder like the wind and stop him from...whatever he was doing to that demon ghoul...oh dear.

The smell didn't seem to effect him- perhaps after years of only being able to breath through his nose while performing his menial chores for his Creator, he had grown immune to it. Lizzy's shout had attracted the hunchback's attention too, eyes wide as he strode forward- what did that little boi-ghou- his head ached and he settled for HORSE THING think he was doing to his associate?? His and Lizzy's relationship were tentative at best, but Christmas did bring people together, and he was prepared to heave the kelpie into the vat himself if he was going to try anything to the pink haired Ghoul.

It was a release. There was something deeply rewarding in drowning someone. While some creatures liked tearing things to shreds or digging their claws in flesh, Calder loved the feeling of someone being held under water underneath his fingers or, if he was in another form, dragging them down with his teeth. Someone about preventing someone to have air was thrilling, and he often liked the idea of having someone come back for air only to do it again. He had only ever done so with relatives – by accident mind you though his parents were never pleased – and with small animals. Bigger prey. Oh, he wanted to do that.

Sadly, someone got in his way, and just before he submerged Lizzy, he was held by Red. His ears flatted back and his eyes turned sharp, narrowing as he looked up at the teacher. First off, she was behind him. he never liked people getting behind him. Secondly, he didn't WANT to stop.

He started to hike up a hoof. It was very reasonable to assume that Calder wasn't thinking clearly if at all – and the threat of authority wasn't sinking in deep enough. It could be a number of reasons why. First off, he never had to be around other kids his age that were not underwater breathers and could easily get harmed if they were thrown in vats of water – especially one full of bleach water. He'd gotten in trouble for it before. His parents often yelled at him for pushing his aunt or a grandmother in water when he was home, but he couldn't HELP it! It was also why he was in school.

What did that mean for a kelpie who couldn't keep this under control? It meant going against their pride of being wild and free and passing their reigns to someone who COULD keep them in check.

Of course, Calder wasn't thinking about that, but how much he wanted Red to back off and leave him be. He was having fun right now and he didn't need HER coming by and messing things up. He probably could have stopped, if he tried really, really, REALLY hard, but Lizzy's screaming that she couldn't swim only made him want to smile. OH! That was the best type of thing to drown!!

And so, against all reason and all thoughts at self preservation, he hiked up a leg and kicked back! Looking back at it, if Calder survived to look back at it, he would see that this had been a VERY STUPID IDEA!!!!

((Rolling for hit or miss and damage done.))

It didn't seem like many were doing the actual job of sorting and lugging it into the cauldrons, which had to be the main job. It would take more time with just three people, but... least it was getting started truly. He was well aware who the two students were; he recognized them from Truth or Dare and some classes. Junko and Christof. If he could breath without gagging from the horrid stench was getting kicked up from moving the blankets, he had the same thoughts in mind for which needed to be put into what cauldron and sorting was rather easy.

Piling a good portion of it together, he had been lifting it up when he heard Lizzy shout for assistance. His head snapped up quickly and he looked for her quickly; if she was in danger, then he had to help her! He couldn't let anything happen to her! Seeing that it was from another students, he felt angry. Why would another student want to harm her?? The blankets were forgotten as they dropped from his hands and he was moving to help her when he noticed that Red was there already, looking rather pissed off indeed. He was relieved that she had gone to stop him from hurting Lizzy, but he couldn't help going to her side to check up on her. "Lizzy??" Reaching out, he took hold of her hand to help her get her balance and not get shoved in any further.

The hunchback was momentarily deterred when the Demon beat him to Lizzy's side, but at least she was covered- that meant his attention could be locked on the white-haired student that had threatened to dunk her in the hot bleach. Thank goodness it seemed a professor had gotten there first! He waited beside the greed demon's side, eyes locked on the Kelpi, positively burning with fury with his fists clenched to prove it. And then he- he tried to KICK the older ghoul in red! Christof was baffled, finally reaching up to grab Calder by the jacket and hold him tight if Red so commanded.

((hand hanging in the air, can be intervened or exasperated at anyone's discretion XD ))

With a slight nod and a pleased smile, Raziel replied, "It's nice to meet you too Amrita." He continued stirring, hoping to keep the conversation going since it was the only thing that wasn't boring and repetitive about their detention task.

"Yea, I had just gotten there not very long before Hellma and Red showed up. Wish I had gotten there earlier, then I would've at least had some more fun!" He let out a small laugh at this, pausing afterward for a moment to get back into the rhythm of stirring.

Raziel looked up in time with Lizzy's plea for help reaching the clothes at the bottom of her cauldron. Being one of the shorter boils in the room, Raziel couldn't really do much else but watch. It didn't take long before Calder showed up next to her offering assistance. It was funny how helpful he suddenly was trying to be... and what was with that vague look in his eyes?

Suddenly Lizzy was screaming for help while Calder was attempting to drown her. Raziel stopped stirring his cauldron for a split second, unsure what to do when Red arrived behind Calder. Deciding that it was best for him not to intervene, Raziel got back to stirring.

Gargantuan was not having a good time.

Tears were still rolling down the swamp monster's face, and he didn't even bother to try and escape. Not this time, anyway. Last time, the little gnomes with the pokey things... they hadn't been nice. It smelled bad in here, just as bad as the Other Bathroom, and he had been gingerly picking up blankets to dump them in cauldrens.

Then things went to hell, and Calder started trying to drown Lizzy!

Dropping the blankets with alarm, Gargantuan would quickly sidle himself over to whoever seemed comforting, and was instead hiding behind Riley. Yaya would have been a good choice, too, but Riley was closer, and the swamp beast whined low in his throat.

Detentions made everyone crazy! That was why they were evil! ;_;
