Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was Lizzy's idea, why was be going first?

Well, technically they were both going first, as the Demoness decided to cling to his arm...but still. He'd rather be more in the middle of the group than helping to lead it. Unable to remove her however, had him submitting to his fate.

The fog was especially thick right now; he could hear voices, and what sounded like a battle going on. Naturally, he was on edge, his free hand gripping the old wooden baseball bat just in case the battle came this way. He still had the slight cut across his throat from the last battle he was in...there was no way he was going to let that happen again.

"Now what?" He murmured to Lizzy, before he paused. Wait, he recognized that one voice! Looking around, he called out.

"Jericho? You're here, too?" Last he saw, Jericho had flown off to try and find someone else, didn't he? "Did you find who you were looking for?"

The confusion was evident on Astra's face once she had slashed it again, and it merely took the blow and came at her once more. Before the weapon could reach the fairy, she had ducked below and flew straight at his chest this time, hoping to try and finish him off now before it went any further. But then, could she even finish him off?

Damage: 8 ))

Mandy felt like there should be music playing. It just felt appropriate for some reason. Despite this though she resisted the temptation to hum because she was quite sure the others would appreciate creepy show-tunes at the moment as much as she would.

It didn't stop her from walking to the beat as she played it in her head though. Mandy herself was in the middle of the group where Mac wanted to be, not that she wouldn't have minded leading but Alwine was safer in the middle and she was sticking by Alwine.

Then voices and the sounds of battle drifted out from up ahead causing her to tense, tightening her grip on her bat and shifting slightly in front of Alwine. Hopefully if they where really quiet they could avoid the figures attentio- MAC. Stepping quicker to get behind him she hissed quietly "Shhhh! I don't care if you know someone up ahead - noise attracts the figures you idot!"

Watching as Astra managed to defeat the reaper, Jericho didn't look entirely impressed. There had to have been a reason why the cloaked on didn't touch her at all.

"Yeah yeah," he said with relative disinterest before nodding to Aksaja. He then turned as he heard some other voices coming up the path. Looking down, he saw Mac, Lizzy, and another student he hadn't seen around before. Waving to the group, he nodded to the other reaper as well.

"Yeah," he said while motioning to Mal and Riley by him. Once he did that, he looked over the new girl some. She was wearing pajamas? That reminded him of Holly some... and he had to wonder if that was her normal attire as well.

"Well, now that our cloaked friend decided that this was a waste of time to deal with miss Faerie... can we keep moving?" he asked while glancing back towards the path. Staying in one spot for too long probably wasn't within their best interest.

They had left the tent, successfully opening the locked shed due to Sepheran, and left for the Lighthouse - which everyone had agreed on, more or less. By some miracle, she had also managed to cling onto Mac's arm since they left the beach.

"Uh... Well, this walk will take some time..." She did not really know how to answer Mac's question, "But I guess we'll know when we're there...?" Its not like they know why they were on the island or where exactly they are yet; at least the map helped, but they were still lost and stuck on the island. Ahead, she could see more students... Wait, Jericho?

That must mean Riley is close. And if Riley is close, Malodore must be there too.

"Hey Jeric-" Mandy's warning caused her to freeze for a second, but she quickly relaxed again, returning the boil's wave before turning to nod at Mandy, "If they want to come after us, they will anyway..."

"Oh shut up." Mac returned to Mandy once she started hissing at him. "I would like to point out that I was perfectly silent when one of them attacked me! It doesn't make a jackin' difference." The Reaper sounded a little angry, which admittedly he was; how dare that drowned rat mouth off to him! Clearly, she had to work a little harder to make him fear her again.

"Glad you found them." He said to Jericho then, the irritation completely out of his voice. "All for keeping moving; mind if we join you?" Their growing group was showing up now, and there were certainly a growing group...it probably wouldn't hurt for them to split up even more (and hey, maybe he could shove Lizzy off on them, and get the damned ghoul to stop clinging to him), but for now, safety in numbers. More people for the strange cloak wearers to attack instead of him.

Mandy breathed in sharply as Mac told her to shut up. It wasn't a sign of suprise or shock, no, oh no, it was a danger warning.

Red eyes glinting dangerously she replied tartly, lips pursed. "One, jackass you where. And two so where other people. I wasn't telling you to shut up so you would be safe, I was telling you to shut up so you would stop endangering the group! Just because your the one making the noise doesn't mean they'll target you - it could be anyone they decide to fight and they might not be as lucky in survival as we have been so far."

All of this was said in an angry whisper, she wasn't going to spoil her point by giving into temptation and shouting.
