Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eyes met the banshee as she gave her a mock compliment. Not only was she tired, and ached from the battle, but she was in absolutely no mood for jokes or sarcasm. "'Scuse me for not being born a natural fighter." Mei was definitely no fighter, if anything, she was more of a healer. She hadn't even had the chance to take any offense lessons yet, so of course she was not prepared to go up against other who clearly were of much more skill than she. With that, she turned away from the ghoul, refraining from snapping as she had in the battle---if you could have called it that..

Nodding her head at Bul's concern, she looked off to the side, more than a little disappointed with herself for doing so badly in her fight. "Yeah.. I don't even think I left a scratch on it.. They just decided to leave, so.. I dunno. The only perk was this," Holding up the pendant that hung around her neck for the others to view, she soon dropped it again, disgusted when realizing who it originally belonged to. Damn.. Like she wanted anything that belonged to that b*****d.. Rather than discarding it, she kept it for the mean time. Who knows? It might become of some use?

Hearing the suggestion of splitting up into groups, Mei gave a small nod in response. "Fine by me." Without warning, Mei grabbed hold of the Snot monster's hand and began to lead him away in the direction she found most interesting. Of course, she could have just asked him if he wanted to pair, but of course she didn't give him such a chance. Once away from the others, she slowed her pace some and released her grip on him. "Sorry, your the only person I know out of them, hope that's okay. Besides, I haven't had the chance to chat with you since the Scarentine thing."

Colette made her way up the winding road alone, the sight of the abandoned and tattered weapons depressing. It only made her miss her own. Her weapons were far more useful than the two wooden swords she carried with her now, but for whatever reason she couldn't summon them! And the silence, it was unsettling and only reminded her of a certain lane she'd traveled before. Colette couldn't stop thinking about Barth either. He had said his knee was bothering him, was he really okay? She had left him unattended for just moments on the last field trip, surrounded by other students even, but he still suffered something that made him and many others disappear before being whisked back to Halloween Town.

In such worry, the town she finally approached was a nice relief, or more so the several students she saw not too far in. One she even knew! The abandoned town meant possible supplies and food she could collect for use in this terrible trek -- not to mention the signal thing she was supposed to be looking for, -- but a friend gave a sense of security. She had even been through the worst part of the last field trip with him!

"Raziel!" Colette called as she waved and hurried over to him. "How are you doing?" She hadn't seen him since before the boat crashed, but he looked alright for what had happened. It was a relief.

A mysterious hooded figure has been watching the student's actions all this time. Out of nowhere the seemingly fade from the fog right in front of your student, grabbing them away from the others. Your student is being attacked!

HP: 13

Damage to Holly: 1

Hand instantly covering her mouth at the words he just spoke, she muffled a snicker. She found it difficult to picture either Sarias or Raziel shouting those words---even if it meant their life. In any case, she hoped they wouldn't run into any more problem from here on out. Her FEAR was hardly effective, leaving her with little or no healing abilities for the time being. Maybe her HP Doll had a flaw? She would have to take it up with her father when she had the chance again.

"Naw, its fine." Gesturing a dismissive wave, a shrug soon followed. "School keeps everyone busy---especially this school apparently." It hadn't been more than a couple of months since their last huge field trip before they were all forced to take part in this one, but somehow, Mei actually missed the JOY filled hinterlands when comparing it to this trip.

"Hm?" Giving the boil a blank stare for a moment, she quickly waved her hands when having finally regained her mind. "Eh--er, no. I'm fine. Just a little stunned is all." Dropping her hands to either side, she was curious as to just how far they were from the main camp. "Hmmm," Pulling out her map, she looked over it once again before shoving it back into her bag. "Yeah, we are aren't we." Not that it really mattered. This island was crawling with cloaked reapers. "Not like there's much we can do about it now." Observing were they stood, she glanced about the town for anything that gave off any signs of interest. "Wanna go that way?" She asked, wondering if he had already chosen a route to take.

(( Sure. xD ))

Shesh. The ghoul mumbled to herself. "Not one for conversation.." She wasn't either and why was she talking to herself now? This place was surely making the ghoul crazy obviously. Seemed her group was no help since they were not here anyway. Holly took up her toy sword again and swung back.

HP: 24

Damage done: 0

Sarias took no heed of Mei's retort, if anything she huffed hard through her mouth at the statement. Everyone was born a fighter, if your life was on the line you fought, you fought with all your might. Maybe it was because she was dead, she had nothing to loose so much so that she went into every fight guns blazing, if this existence was to end it would be on her terms, no one else’s.

The suggestion Bul made had her nodding in agreement and she was more than a little satisfied with the look of dismay on the monsters Raziel face as Mei and Bul took themselves off.

"Looks like you coming with me shorty, don’t hold me back or you'll have much more to worry about than some hooded freaks.” She decided to ignore Bul's last words of advice, his code for help, and it was true, she would rather be an un-dead than shout out those words. She twisted on her heels preparing to bellow to the student to follow when another showed up, one she had never met before.

"He is fine ghoul, we have no time for pleasantries, we need to get moving so either sit here talking to yourself or make yourself useful and come along."

Sometime later it seemed the sand and thick fog of the beach had given way to something of a path. He didn't where it would lead them, but having something to follow was infinitely preferable to wandering around blindly. Visibility seemed to be improving as well, and that in and of itself was a major plus in the ghost's book. He'd never before had his ability to see to terribly compromised, and he was likely not to take it for granted again any time soon.

With Junko still hugging his arm, he carefully picked his way along the path. Avoiding what potholes and cracks her could. Where ever they were heading, he had to wonder if it was going to be just as run down and shabby as the road leading too it. It was in a sorry state, and after seeing Yaya's ankle Seiji really wanted to avoid any injuries that could easily be avoided by simply watching where he was walking.

"Roads in pretty bad shape, be careful where you're walking, guys." Surely they had noticed this already, but just in case. He did take frequent glances at the smaller two of their group, ready to reach out and catch them should they stumble.
