"Oh hooh~ You probably just have fleas or something." He called to the gryphon boil; rolling onto his back and hugging the pillow to his chest with a wide toothy grin spread across his face. It was probably true anyways.
Though before he could say anything else, another student entered the room and this one he did recognize!
"Hey LW!" He called and waved as best as he could without letting go of his prize pillow. She too he had not seen since that horrid trip. In fact, the last time he actually talked to her was when he and Calder were pulling her out of the hole in the open grave that led to that underground lab. But from what he remembered, she was pretty cool and a fellow canine too!

Calder waved the very idea of scratchy wings off. "Wings are wings. I'm sure you're super fluffy. Oh, but I'll make sure not to touch anything else." He pointed to Tahki and Charlie with a frown. "Don't touch Ren. He's taken, and his boilfriend will go after you." He said as a warning, before smiling and reaching out to pet Ren's wing. "Nini. It's so soft." He then reached out and touched Tahki's wing, making a comparison. "Ohhh. You both have fluffy wings. I bet you guys make the best pillows ever. I wouldn't mind pillow wings." Not that he wanted to fly. Oh no. He'd rather just have them to sleep on whenever he wanted.
"Reeen. You should sleep here so I can nap on you...or you Tahki. Can I nap on you?" He asked, turning to peer at the ghoul in question. "I promise I won't biteeee."

Tahki had closed her eyes and was starting to get comfortable when Calder said something about Ren and a boilfriend that would go after them if they touched him. Her mind went to general touch or brush up against or breath on or anything and started to panic a little.
"W-what?" The thought of Rens boilfriend going after her because she might have touched Ren in at some point.. did the shake hands today? Tahki looked at her hand in horror. It wasn't long before her head was covered with a pillow and she was literally shaking.
Then Calder said her wings were soft. AND he touched Rens. This only further confused the gryphon in her already confused state. But it also calmed her a little. Maybe Calder had teased her? Tahki looked around to see if there was some one scary in the room that might be... the black dog? Maybe thats who Calder meant. Tahki hid her head back under the pillow and muffled a reply to Calder.
"Suregoahead."
Charlie took the sure go ahead as an open invetation and scooted close to the wing on Tahkis other side. Hey there was plenty of room right.

Making up her mind that she did indeed need help, the djinn once more placed her crutches together and leaned them against the wall. Freeing her hands up just in time for Ren to take one up and offer a kind squeeze, earning him a happy smile and small nod. "Yes, a little bit. But I'll be depending on these wretched things for a few weeks still." She poked a finger towards the crutches, laughing softly. "Hey, do you think you can help me over to that mound of pillow's beside Barth's chair?" Another point gestured idly at a comfy looking mound across the room.
She spared a glance at Tybalt as he mentioned something about fleas, features pinching in distaste before smoothing into an amused smile. "I'm sure he doesn't." She hoped not, in any case.
To Barth's questions she rolled her shoulders in a noncommittal shrug. "Not really, no. You hadn't mentioned that I should come up with anything, though I suppose in a pinch I could." As far as paintball went, he had mentioned it, but very briefly and very vaguely. "You may have hinted at it, yes.." Jack, he was sort of a terrible leader, wasn't he?

The familiar swish of a red tail caught Ren's eye and he turned his head, a wide smile crossing his face. "LW!" he called out to the shewolf, waving his hand, though his pleased expression rapidly turned into a scowl as Tybalt also greeted her. Resisting the urge to tie the dog's tail into a knot, Ren just rolled his eyes, turning instead back to Calder just in time to hear the tail end of his words:
"...and his boilfriend will go after you."
"Er," said Ren. "What."
Apparently his little stunt with Gabrian was still blatant in the kelpie's mind. Ren gave a mildly exasperated sigh, reaching to push some of the stray hair away from his face.
"Caaaalllldddeeeerrrrr," he started to say, then gave a quick glance towards Tahki, who was looking...well, slightly petrified. "Er," he said hastily, waving a hand. "Don't, er...yeah, just ignore that last sentence."
One wing fluttered when Calder's fingers brushed against the feathers, and Ren tucked them neatly against his back. "In a sec," he said, giving the kelpie a nod. "One sec and I promise I'll sleep there so you can use me for a pillow if you want. Or you can use Tahki," he added, giving a shrug.
Returning his attentions to Yaya, Ren stood beside her, his eyes narrowing just the slightest at the bandage wrapped around her ankle. It still looked a bit swollen, but for the most part it was aeons better than it had been on that wretched island. He lifted his gaze, smiling at the demon before ducking in a mock bow.
"I would be delighted to assist you," he said, and then cast her a grin. "Would you prefer me to help you walk, or would you rather I carried you?"
The last part was said half teasingly, though Ren would still do it should she need it.

Pressing the curve of a knuckle against her lips, the djinn stifled a soft giggle at Ren and all the other's random conversations. They were all very peculiar, though she supposed, in this school, that was more normal then not.
As Ren glanced down at her foot, she gave her toes a little wiggle, showing him that things were beginning to heal up nicely. It'd be a while before she could walk normal again, let alone dance or swim(Tragic!), but it was lots better then it had been. Thanks to him of course, and a few other kind students and friends.
"We could probably get by alright with just the assistance, but if that becomes too cumbersome you're free to handle the situation as you see fit." For the sake of her dignity she'd attempt walking with aid. Now she'd see how far they got before she started whimpering.

Why was it that hearing her best friend's voice could make her feel all warm, like nothing bad could happen? The last time she had really talked with Ren, it hadn't been quite so...warm. Hadn't she left that converstation planing to give him some space? How was it, then, that she kept winding up around him? Clearly, her initial idea of leaving him be for a little while was not working. And she had to be honest, she was happy it wasn't working.
LW couldn't keep the big smile from spreading as she met those familiar golden eyes once before he was distracted by others. Well, at least he was in a better mood it seemed. That, out of everything else, made her feel happy.
Tybalt called to her and waved. The she-wolf grinned at him. She hadn't seen the black dog since...well, since he and the kelpie had pulled her out of that damn hole that led to the underground lab. A small shudder raced along her spine and she quickly shoved thoughts of that aside. Nothing good came from it. Instead, since Ren was busy helping a ghoul out, LW walked over and flopped down next to her fellow canine.
"Hiya Tybalt! How are you?" She eyed the pillow he was clutching with interest. The she-wolf was a sucker for pillows. As if her room wasn't proof enough of this. "You must have found the best pillow, with they way you are guarding it." She teased him, looking around and snagging one nearby. It was fluffy and alright. Not like her pillows, but it was squishy enough for her! She clutched her find to her chest as her tail curled around her legs, out of the way of those that might step on it.
"So..." Violet eyes regarded Tybalt. "Any ideas on what we're supposed to be doin' during this meeting?"

Turning to the silver haired ghoul? boil as he answered her question, she was pleased to discover that she had arrived on time for once--err..or early in this case. "Oh good." Placing a hand over her chest, she gave a small sigh of relief and returned to her usual posture. "Nice to meet you Calder! I'm Mei." Though he didn't appear familiar, she was sure she had heard his name somewhere before..but where, she had no idea. All sorts of names traveled through the school, and usually, without a face for her to connect it too. "Hmmmm?" Staring over at the sleeping demon when Calder pointed him out, positive she had seen him before---yes! During the whole pendant experience before the school trip. "So he's the mastermind behind this club?" She asked, easily intrigued by this idea.
It wasn't long before more students began to file into the room, adding their own names to the sign up sheet. Not that this bothered her---quite the opposite really. The more people there were, the more interesting things would get. That was, if to say, things could get interesting in this club. Mostly she figured people to be sleeping during their time in this club..since that was the general idea of it.
Searching the faces for anyone she recognized, resulting in only a few. Holly, a ghoul and another student she had seen during that whole pendant incident. Collette whom was part of the Krumm car group during the Christmas Town raid (damn that ghoul has skills)...and Ren. She had only spoke with him a few times, but considered him to be cool in her books. Definitely someone she wouldn't mind as a friend. She would need to greet him soon.
Eye's darted over to a redheaded ghoul---a she-wolf? The one sitting in the audience during that dreaded school play? It looked like her...but she couldn't be certain. Too long ago perhaps, or maybe even too dark? Whatever the case, she couldn't remember. All in all, she would like to meet her too..and this would club would present that opportunity, as well as perfect her laziness.
Hanging back for now, she would wait for things to get started, too unwilling to move for the time, she merely watched as students gobbed with each other. Interesting toys..very interesting.

Ren reached a hand up to his forehead, shaking his head. "Oy vey," he muttered, then gave a halfway melodramatic sigh before turning back to Yaya. "My friends have issues," he said cheerfully, then slipped an arm easily around the ghoul's slender waist, taking one of her arms and moving it around his shoulders. "Let's go, darling," he said and helped the ghoul hobble slowly across the room. Once they reached the other side, Ren carefully extracted himself out from under Yaya's arm, taking both her hands and allowing her to gently lower herself onto the fluffy pile of pillows.
"There you go," he said, and grinned down at the ghoul. "Better? At least you're sitting down now, and you don't have to move out of the way whenever people walk in."
There was a flash of magenta that caught the corner of his eye, and Ren turned his head, spotting Mei a few feet away. He offered the ghoul a smile and a wave, wings fluttering a bit as his eyes then moved to LW - sitting with that damn Tybalt - and he grinned at the shewolf before he turned back to Yaya.

Tybalt greeted LW again when she came over to join him. At least now they could talk with out the worries of being attacked by cloaked figures and stuff. Though he was going to have to fight the growing urge to sleep.
"Hey, LW! I'm good! Pretty much back to my usual routine. How about you? Avoiding open graves" He asked jokingly, still laying on his back and clinging to his pillow as though guarding it from any would be pillow snatchers. It was also while he was laying like this, that he caught the gryphon's look and replied with a cheeky grin. It would seem Ren was upset that he was sitting with the pretty she wolf. Perhaps she was his ghoul friend he mentioned before? Not too far off, he also noticed Mei hanging around. Though she was one he decided was best to ignore. The last thing he wanted was a pissed off doll with unlimited ammo laying all over the floor.
"I think so!" He answered when LW asked about the pillow; giving it a squeeze before loosening his grip again. It was after all soft and comfortable. But now that he had officially 'claimed' it, he was not giving it up to anyone! "How about the one you have?" He asked.
Unfortunately, he didn't have an answer for her last question and good only shake his head and shrug. "No clue. Nap maybe?" He guessed. Turning to look at her with a toothy grin.

Colette heard a hello and looked to see that it was Lilith of all people greeting her. Instinctively, Colette gave a soft, "Hi," in return as the ghoul passed; but she was surprised Lilith would say hello to her of all students. They weren't close and haven't actually had a real conversation. It was just a nice, random gesture. Colette stopped to follow Lilith with her eyes and thought to herself. Maybe she isn't really that bad all. She wasn't terribly nauseating like a certain banshee anyway.
She watched Lilith place herself on Barth -- some would call it staring -- and didn't know what to make of it. All Colette thought was that it was an interesting place to sit. That and what Calder just called out to her was true. There really was no more room -- unless she wanted to sit on Lilith, which she was far from ever doing to anyone let alone her. The Grim Reaper turned on her heel to face Calder and his company only to then receive a shout from a pink haired boil. It was completely unexpected -- she had never spoken to him -- and Colette stared briefly with her eyes a bit wider, looking as if she was about to be scared off. "Er -- Sure," she finally answered in a quiet voice rather nervously. The sheer happiness and energy of the kid unnerved her for some reason.
Never loosening the grip on her pillow and blanket, Colette made her way over to the group, and within the several minutes it took her to finally get there, more of Calder's friends arrived. Calder sure is popular, she thought. Colette quickly eyed any potential places to sit before settling for right where she was now standing: not within reasonable closeness to anyone and a tad off to the side. She sat cross legged and still mostly covered by her blanket, the pillow in her lap being hugged against her chest.
"Uh.. Hey," she said. With briefly looking around at all the unfamiliar faces, it could be assumed it was a greeting to everyone, but her eyes finally just focusing on Calder showed her only real link to the group. Colette squeezed her pillow. Okaywhatnow.
So many strangers! Colette just wanted to float away to the sky in her own little bubble, but a group looked far better than awkwardly sitting all alone, as if she wasn't technically doing that now with her sitting distance. Sure, she had seen Mei, Yaya, and Holly before; but she didn't know them very well. In fact, Calder was only the most familiar because they had actually gone to the dance together -- even if it was a strange mistake.

Charlie was pleased when Colette took a seat by them and even pushed a few piles of pillows toward the Reaper in a friendly gesture. Though now the demon was not about to move from his spot on one of Tahkis wings to greet Colette properly. Instead, Charlie lazily laid on the wing and gave the reaper a friendly long sleeved wave.
Laziness was already starting to take over just from moments snuggled in Tahkis soft warm feathers.
Mean while Tahki, underneath the pillow her face was hiding in, was a little horrified by the increasing amount of people gathering. Crowds. Other ghouls and boils her own age. The gryphon stiffened quite a bit, not that anyone would have noticed with her body being mostly covered in pillows at this point.
Tahki was finding it hard to disregard what Calder had told her about his boil friend whom she assumed to be Tybalt which horrified her even more. She was sure her hand had probably brushed up against Rens at one point and she did not want Rens boil friend coming after her ever.

It was nice sitting there, surrounded by pillows and laid back students. This had been a good idea, joining this club. And she was definitely happy with her choice of not ditching out on the very first meeting. Which she had, briefly, considered merely because it was inside. The she-wolf was still coping with occasional claustrophobic feelings she felt inside sometimes.
But being around friends was nice too. Even if her best friend was currently doing...whatever. Tybalt was nice. And entertaining (at least so far!) to be around. What was it that Ren didn't like about him anyways?
"Glad to hear it! And I'm doing better now that we're all back." She snorted at his joke. "Course not! I go seek out open graves every night. Just in the hopes of having goofy black dogs and strange kelpies pull me out of them again." Winking she took the chance to glance around and see if anyone new had entered the room. She couldn't really tell, but she did spot a few more faces she hadn't seen before. Barth was...being himself. A few faces she didn't know the names of were talking - she'd had classes with them though - and one ghoul, who looked vaguely familiar. Her cracked skin was what drew LW's eye. Hadn't she once seen that ghoul and been curious about what she was? She completely missed the look Ren shot their way.
LW gave him a quirky grin. "It's squishy. And fluffy. I think it's quite a nice find too." Man did she love pillows! The she-wolf hugged the pillow to her and rested her chin on top of it.
"Jack, I hope so. A nap would be so nice." Her tail flicked at the thought. "There are plenty of people...and pillows...to cuddle with too." She loved cuddles. Maybe it was part of being a canine? Or it was just a she-wolf thing. "Only thing missing is cookies." LW joked, although a damn cookie sounded really good right now too.

Pillows? Colette stared at the several pillows from Charlie and then looked at him as he waved. Pillows.. for me then. She returned the wave and cautiously reached for the pillows, shaping a pile into a 'C' shape around her backside, all without misplacing the single personal pillow in her lap.
She wasn't cautious because she thought the ones from him were bombs or something. No, not at all. She was just confused as to why he was all of a sudden wordless and relatively calm. He had been shouting just minutes ago. It was quite strange. That and she was just gifted a butt load of pillows. Didn't get that often.
"Uh.. thanks, um..?" Colette's thank-you died momentarily as she looked at him expectantly. She didn't know the boil's name.

 Suddenly, the door to the room slammed open and a dark, hunchbacked figure in armor and what looked like blood streaming from his face and down his front stepped inside. Before anyone could so much as turn their head, the gun in his uneven hands was raised and shot after shot of red paintballs suddenly erupted across the room. Several whizzed overhead, splattering against nothing but the walls and furniture, but the brunt of the blows, two shots each slammed directly against Tybalt, Ren, Little-Wolfe, and Barth. The others who were hit were luckier, only tagged by one stinging shot of red, Holly, Tahki, and even Lilith on Barth's lap wasn't safe, nor was even the crippled Yaya.The hunchback, it would seem, had gone postal. Maybe he needed a nap. Maybe he just needed to get the pent up aggression out. Who knew?
