Welcome to Gaia! ::

So their attempt had failed. It seemed this room liked them and was determined to keep them. Mitsu frowned a bit as she took a step back only looking up when she felt something touch her head.



She had no idea where the crown had come from but Shun was giving it to her. It was like a gift in a strange way and it made her cheeks burn as pink painted its way across her face.

"S...so what now?" It seemed Hel was in search of the ticking now, perhaps she would find something. Though it seemed Shun was exasperated about the whole ordeal.

While the others did their thing, Shun just withdrew into himself, resting his arm on his knee. He reflected on the events at this house as a whole and quite frankly, he did not do a whole lot of good. Over all, he had been pretty damn useless, which bothered him considerably. Even when they were in actual live danger, he hadn't done a great deal.

The Reaper questioned the point of them being here. Along with that, he was starting to question why he had been enrolled in the school in the first place. This field trip only seemed to point out that he hadn't learned much of anything at all in the few months he had been at the academy.

When they got back, he was going to need to do some self-evaluation if possible.

It was probably a good thing that in his broodings, he didn't see the pumpkin spawn.

Fish, fish, fish, OH LOOK A PUMPKIN.

With a gasp the ghoul darted over to the new development in their room, curiosity overtaking her face. How queer that a pumpkin like this would just show up out of nowhere!



Eh? EH? Eeeeeh? What was the meaning of it! First she sniffed it, then she walked around it. What to do? What to do?

Normal-thinking Riyo would've stayed far away from anything resembling a pumpkin. But high Riyo?

... She thought it appropriate to slap it with her half eaten fish.

What pumpkin were they talking about? There was never any pumpkin. There were no pumpkins at all. Quite frankly, you find the notion absurd.

Looking up, Shun glanced over towards the others to see what they were up to. As he did so, he saw the pumpkin(?) in the corner... as well as the fact that Mitsu and Mot now had flowers. His brow furrowed at the sight of this. Wait.. what did this mean?

His hands clenched up briefly before relaxing. No. It was ridiculous. The two couldn't have produced a pumpkin in this short time.

Right?

Then again... the two were fairly close. Maybe the lycan hadn't pulled away from him earlier just due to having frozen up, unsure how to react or something like that. Gritting his teeth, he turned his attention away from them all.

The pumpkin(?) might have vanished at that point but he wouldn't know either way.

The valkyrie released Riyo once the pumpkin disappeared, staring at the corner for a long moment before flinching as Mot screeched.

She didn’t bother to answer the cowboil’s question, though personally she thought maybe the answer was a bit of both. The house was definitely making fun of them…but maybe they were going crazy too? Possibly. Hel wandered away from them again, and settled on the floor against the wall where Eris’ scorch marks from earlier still marked the corridor. The valkyrie let out a deep breath as she let her head rest against the wall as well, all that energy spent pushing those blocks around and mouthing off to Horsemen needed to be replenished. She then started to sing quietly, to herself, as a way to pull her mind away from this current setting.

Everyone was quiet now (excpet Riyo). Mot fell silent too. He leaned against a wall, letting the silence ease him into some kind of calm. It seemed to be working, but Mot also started to feel sad and very lonely. Why? Perhaps it was the fighting among the team, or the harsh words he'd said to Hel repeating in his head, as well as the mean things she said to him.

Or maybe it was the Valkyrie's quiet song.

The reaper always liked to hear her sing, but this time it filled him with such utter remorse, guilt and sadness.

Mot looked at the flowers the house had given him, staring at them with a half lidded gaze for a long moment. After a small sigh, he made his way to Hel, cautiously. Mot sat a small ways away from Hel, leaving a small distance between them. He fiddled with the flowers nervously, his eyes darting to Hel every so often.
He wanted to apologize, and now seemed like a good time.

"Um.. Hel." Mot started, his voice low so others wouldn't spy on them. He eyed her nervously, then down at the flowers again. "About what I said in the hub... I was wrong." He tried his best not to let his voice shake. He was so scared she would simply ignore him or storm off. "I lost my temper. I shouldn't have said those things.. and, I'm really sorry."

Shyly, Mot slid the flowers toward Hel's side.
