Welcome to Gaia! ::

W-wow, there really were a lot of people pouring in, weren't there? Xiu didn't even get a chance to ask Shun more questions before she was distracted by all the new arrivals. Everyone who entered after--Demi, Lizzy, and Junko--received a grin and a wave. Um...was this really a party, though? She though Shun had said something about apologizing, but with all these people...

Then again, she was guilty for having just walked in without any warning.

Whatever the case, the Baku turned to smile at Hel, happy that the other ghoul still remembered her. "Y-yes! Likewise! I'm glad to see that you're here!" She assumed that this meant the reaper was enrolled, which was wonderful! It seemed as if she was already acquainted with quite a few of the students in this room as well, which was always good.

Though she was oblivious to the exchange between Shun and Demi, the discomfort of Mitsu was obvious. Shuffling a little closer to the lycan, she smiled softly and tilted her head questioningly. "Are you okay, Mitsu?" It was a pretty big crowd, after all. Had most of these faces not been familiar to her, Xiu was certain she would have shuffled off to stand in some conspicuous corner in the room.

Soul? Junko blinked and gave Lizzy an odd look until she shrugged it off and grinned, waving a few fingers. "Hi Lizzy!" She squeaked as she was suddenly hugged though mostly out of being..well...suddenly hugged! She was quick to return the hug now with a squeal of delight, swaying from side to side with the pink-haired ghoul. She would continue to hug her this way until Lizzy decided to let go, looking very excited as she gave the room a scan to see who was around. Mot, Shun, Mitsu, Xiu, Demi...even Hel! And an interesting ghoul she had never seen before with...needles...in her arms. Oh, goodness. That looked painful. Junko winced a bit and rubbed at her own arms while Lizzy spoke, giving the ghoul a glance. She really didn't know about it? Well..odd! So then was her boilfriend here? But...she knew all of the boils here. Sort of. It had to be either Mot or Demi. There was no way it was Shun. She hadn't noticed Mac yet, too distracted by suddenly being tugged through the crowd and right to the needle-armed ghoul.

"Hello! Ah..um..yes. It's very nice to meet you..Lattice." The name was said almost questionably as a glance was given to Lizzy to make sure she heard the name right. Should she hold out her hand? Was it safe to shake hands with her? She had that mask on..could she see her hands? Junko wasn't sure what to do. But then she heard a voice she recognized, a voice that had her doubletaking.

MAC?! Oh, Jack! Why was he here?! Oh. Right. His room was next door. Okay. R-right...um...

Suddenly Lizzy let go of her to hug him quite exuberantly. Oh no...

"Ah..Hi, Mac..." Junko sounded surprised and a little worried. That reaction. It could mean two things; either Lizzy was being Lizzy or Mac was... "Soooo this is your boilfriend?" She smiled. If she was then that would explain a few things about the boil's awful behavior toward her that day.

Jerk.

She heard her name and looked past Mac to see a familiar two-toned face, giggling and waving a hand. "Why hello! It's very nice to see you too, Hel! Interesting get together, huh? Poor Mot looks unhappy though..." Junko tried to see where he went as he disappeared in the slowly growing group but lost sight of him. But he didn't look very excited. Oh dear. Were they intruding?

Mot was beyond lost. If only he had felt himself, he'd be making this into a party in no time. Maybe... maybe if he locked himself in the bathroom and leaped out a window?

....he considered this.

Meanwhile, the door to the minipet closet creaked open, and a furry white head peeked out. It was FooFoo, and he was wondering if all these people were here to see him? Of course they were. It was party time.

The foxfire pranced out into the open, standing proudly and yipping for attention.

Looking back at Shun as he placed a hand on her shoulder, Mitsu did her best to remain calm in the crowd. "It....seems like a party." Mitsu mumbled though she too looked toward Mot for some sort of confirmation. The poor reaper seemed out of sorts about the situation though.

Then...a small yip caught her attention. Ears perked Mitsu turned to find the source finally settling on Foofoo who had just exited the closet. It....was adorable. So fluffy. Those little feet. Mitsu couldn't help herself as her tail began to wag.

Hel's announcement barely caught Mitsu's attention, despite how loud it was, her attention was solely on the foxfire on the floor. Though when the reaper picked Foofoo up and moved her into her room Mitsu was quick to follow. She wanted to pet it. Tail wagging Mitsu entered Hel's room and moved instantly to the counter where she had placed Foofoo. "Hello little one." Mitsu cooed offering her hand first to let the foxfire sniff.

It was then the large pot Hel had pulled out of her refridgerator caught her attention. The smell seemed very nice. "What is that?" Mitsu asked curiously having not really heard the part about food.

Somehow, many familiar faces ended up in the cow boils room now- just what the heck- then waved none the less at Lizzy, Demi and Xiu when they entered.

The lost ghoul was none other than the same ghoul she'd met in Professor Savage's class. The poor dear had sat on a certain wrath demon and got quite a fright. Her vision wasn't the best, it seemed, so Levi could more easily understand her reason for being here. Lattice being lost must be a pretty common occurrence. Aye, screecheart. Don't fret needing' a hand if'yer a bit lost. Remember me? Levi ferm class. The tatzel lightly touched Lattice's fingertips with her own just to comfort her a bit. The ghoul didn't have eyes or a very pronounced tone, but somehow her frazzled expression still got across. If ya need anything' at all...

That was when she heard Hel's announcement just as a critter came out to greet them. Apple cider and stew? Oh! So they were having a sort of family type gathering. Well that was just quaint of them all. It hadn't clicked into her head that she wasn't particularly invited to this gathering, in that case, but she wanted to follow Hel anyways if that was where the gathering would be.

...eh, everyone heard what tha ghoul said, aye? Let's git our behinds in that n' git this shindig started! WHOOO~! She raised her opposite hand and pumped the air once energetically to get everyone excited about the move. She had no idea what a student gathering like this was usually like, but the tatzel sure as Hel wanted to find out. She looked back to Lattice. Interested?

FooFoo as a hat! A proud hat. The foxfire stood mightily upon Hel's head, puffing itself up as Hel led the way to her room. FooFoo stood proudly even as he was moved to the counter top in Hel's bedroom, yipping happily at Mitsu and He's cooing.
The outstretched hand offered by Mitsu was given a few sniffs with his wet nose, then licked playfully.

Meanwhile, Mot made a quiet mental note to repay Hel for distracting the unwanted crowd, herding them away. Still, he needed a way out of it.

Then... the Angel of Death. Riley's voice was heard, and Mot took the opportunity to sneak out of the doorway and behind Riley to hide. He stood with his back to hers, a nervous sweat beading from his hidden brow. "Shh..." He whispered to the Illithid. "Get me out of here.."

As soon as Levi touched her fingertips her hand reached up and very securely grasped two of Levi's own fingers and she refused to let go. Comforting words and presences was something she sorely clung to now. If Levi was willing to be her anchor then the ghoul would be the anchor that Lattice clung to for dear life.

"Y..Yes please," she uttered softly to the Tatzel's offer and waited for the ghoul to lead the way though she did pause when suddenly Riley was there scolding them a bit and her eyes widened behind the mask, "Oh!..I..I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so loud..! I just...I wanted to get to my dorm and.."

Pause.

"No..Now I shall go eat with my ..new friends first then..try to find my way back. I ...I will be quieter," she promised Riley as she still held onto Levi's fingers.
