Kekoa smiled warmly as she walked closer to him. His tail kept on wagging as he felt glad that she remembered him. "Nah, I really don't know anyone here. Well except for you cause you're really the only ghoul I met so far." He said with a nervous chuckle. His eyes lit up when she handed him the sand dollar. "For me? Aw thank you, Lumi. I can't wait until we are actually in the school." He said as he put it away in one of the many pockets he had. He felt extremely happy that she remembered his name. "Seems like these trails are gonna be interesting as it keeps on going." He added as he looked at the screens.

Lumi smiled happily at seeing Koa's reaction to the sand dollar and her remembering his name. Hearing his excitement about school and the trials she turned to look at the screens for the first time since actually showing up. "Oh...yes, these trials are very interesting. I just..."She blushed a little bit because in all her hurry these last two times through the portal and her lack of knowing anyone she wasn't really sure what these trails were for. So she just nodded along when others had started talking to her about them.
"I'm not sure if I really understand them that well..that is..."Lumi watched the screens a little more closely, as she realised that she had confessed something to a total stranger. But the bigger shock she had was that she didn't really mind that fact. In fact she kinda like the boil that she had made...friends with. That was an interesting idea that she decided to muse over while chatting away.

Dev blinked back at Amphi. What was there to apologize about? She gave the ghoul a toothy smile of her own. “Different kin’ ay lepuses, ye say? Soonds interestin’.” Dev seemed especially interested when the mermaid introduced herself as a second year student. “Ye live here? How is it? Excitin’?” She paused to smirk. “’at means Ahm not from around here.” Her expression scrunched up as memories of her last visit to Amityville resurfaced. “Last time Ah came here ye had funny lights an’ music aw over. Whit was ‘at abit?”
Smiling, Dev gladly slid into the offered seat. “Thank ye.” She stretched out her legs, her clothes and shoes still slightly damp from the outpour outside of the barrier. “If yoo’re a student here, ye got friends in th’ trials right? Who ye rootin’ fur?”

An hour later, everything was normal again. The sun was shining in a way that was way too overly bright for any self-respecting creature of Halloween against an unnaturally blue sky, the birds were chirping, looking nothing like any minipets really, and there was a scent of fresh air that was making a few of the less hardy spectators rather green in the gills. The trials participants themselves had finally been gathered from the infirmary, parting their lepus guides with various levels of teary goodbyes before being escorted to the center of the spectator arena, where a good many families and relatives sitting on the bench cheered.
Three judges, wearing minimal clothing: simple red cloth banded with tribal feathers and leather trim, were squabbling with each other, lightly, just about ready to tear apart the piece of paper - the judging paper - in the center. When the attendant cleared his throat, just slightly, the three of them finally stopped, and huffily walked over, the first of them, an elegant but battle-seasoned ambassador of War, moving over towards the scamplifier. "We have in our hands, the our final score for the teams. Our clan values using the environment and our abilities to our advantage, we are afraid of nothing, and stop at nothing. Our trials teach our fledgelings what it means to be strong even in the harshest conditions, to face all obstacles head-on. Some groups performed better than others, it is only natural, for only the strongest will become the leaders for the next generation."
With that she nodded, and literally nailed the piece of paper with a pen into the table before stalking off with the other two, the three of them still lightly quarreling.
The attendant coughed, took over the scamplifier and nodded to the Trials game host seated above.
"Well, ghouls and boils of all ages, you heard it, the Trials of War have been completed! Congratulations to -" he waited for a second for someone to relay the scores upwards - "Teams Fatal Femmes, Ice Breakers, and last but not least, Team Splash Attack for performing their very best in the Trials of War! A tally of all scores is available at the front table, but don't rush all at once now to see! Lastly, don't forget this is a great chance to get some more souvenirs before you leave and-"
- The spectator gate suddenly burst open, a figure covered entirely in a black cloak running up the stairs, wings fluttering behind them. They only stopped when they reached the Trials host, whispering something to them.
The undead games host's expression on the large screen was that of an owlish surprise. He leaned over, "Are you sure that the Trials of Death have been cancel-"
"- The Trials of Death will still continue." There was no source of the figure anywhere in the crowd, though they appeared on the screen, literally cutting off the games host's confused expression. Several of the camera crew looked extremely confused as they tried turning on and off their equipment, smacking it a few times, and then simply shrugged.
"The last Trials will commence shortly." The voice continued, the figure cloaked entirely in a silk black cloth. A few spectators began to mutter amongst themselves, especially those of the Four Clans: this was a priestess from the Clan of Death. "There will be no delay, the Trials of Death will continue as promised, however, the trial will be preformed without spectators."
Several outraged families stood up, others slightly surprised, but the voice continued. "All participants should only heed one warning though as they step through to the final trials: their group is key to their success and failure. Rely only on yourself and you will fall. Use the strength, experience, knowledge and courage from your group, your peers, and you will remain strong until the end, and fear not even death."
The last words were ominous, in the very least. The screen had returned back to normal, or at least, back to the flabberghasted face of the Trials host, who was struggling to say anything, but it was too late. Half the spectator booth was already up in arms.
The students would go back to their dorms tonight with uneasy dreams.

Lumi had watched the screens intently as she inched closer to Koa the voice on the screen was a bit too much for her. Frowning she looked at Koa
"Oh I guess we're going to be going back...I hope that our enrolment period is short. I really enjoy seeing you."
Looking a little flustered she listened to the rest of the announcement,
"Oh...well I guess we'll just have to see if there will be any other chance for us to come see these trials."
Looking at the portal a little sadden at the shortness of time she slowly made her way to it.
[[Exiting I guess, can't wait for another spectator area!!!]]

Mitsu had been rather quiet throughout the trials mostly because she had been so intent on watching her friends. They all seemed to be having a tough time, her brows furrowed with concern as she saw many of them take falls and dissipate.
Finally when everything had settled Mitsu tore her eyes away from the screens to focus on the announcer as they updated and gave their winners of this trial. But....they weren't allowed to spectate the next trial? How was she supposed to support her friends?
"Maybe...we should go find Xiu and the others?" Mitsu asked before giving Lafayette a gentle pat. Scooping him up she went to find Cameron before she left in search of the others to see how they were fairing.
((Exiting))
