Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alessa, that rabbit is so cute! But.. but is that you?" Rain was aware that some of the students were able to change their form into that of an animal but they usually had some kind of animal feature that gave them away. Alessa looked completely normal to her. "I love that you drew everyone's favorite food. The brain looks so delicious! You definitely deserve a peppermint point as well! Here you go!," and with a flick of the wrist, she tossed one at the ghoul.

"You know.. if you do turn into a rabbit or something, do be very careful. There's a lot of shapeshifters at the school that.. well, they may see you as food." Heck, it wasn't just the shapeshifters either. Monsters, even some undead wouldn't think twice before eating a rabbit. "If anyone tries to eat you, come get me. I'll whoop their a** a good one."

She turned to the witch, "I don't think we have too much further to go at all. I don't have any chocolates but I do have a pack of gummi bats around here somewhere. Some of us use them as a type of currency at the school, but I'm sure G and Yue will understand how important this is and I can always earn some more for them. It's not chocolate but it's sweet and might do the trick?"

She walked over to the corner where she kept the minipets and items she had brought and fished around in a backpack. With an excited shriek, she pulled out the bag of gummies and ran over to Belladonna. "Will these work?"

Mandy looked slightly embarrassed when Rain complimented her picture, she didn't draw all that often and showed her work even less. Still, a silver pumpkin seed was awesome and she made sure to compliment Winnie for winning as well. Heh, Winnie the winner. Maybe she should just call her Win. Giggling mentally at her private joke she zoned out for a little bit thus missing when Witchy first asked for chocolate.

It was only as Rain was offering gummy bats that she realized what had been asked. "Hold on, I've got some chocolate, I offered some before." pulling it out again she broke off a piece and offered it to Witchy. Alas, her chocolate would not be just for herself. At least Witchy had asked for it specifically showing her appreciation of the treat.

Something else was niggling her mind. When they got wherever they where going there was no guarantee that they wouldn't all be split up, Krumm car might be entirely separated. That idea was rather distasteful to her, this group of people had proven marginally more tolerable, hesitantly likable, than most others. Was there anything they could do? Or something to at least keep and remind them that they where Krumm car? She was blanking but maybe the others might have ideas, the only way to tell was to voice her worries. "When we get there they might split us up.".

Alessa sighed at Rain's offer to help if anyone decided to eat her. "A little too late for that, I'm afraid." Yes, she'd already had that particular type of run in on campus. From her experience it was best just to shift back as quickly as possible to make things absolutely clear that she wasn't, well, a wild rabbit. She supposed she could imagine an instance where that wouldn't work, but she really didn't want to think about it. Already her stomach was tying in knots at just the idea. If there was one thing that really frightened her, it was the prospect of being eaten. "But I'll be fine."

"Do we know if we're going to be in groups again?" she asked towards the conversation of what would happen when they got there. "I thought we might just all be mingled together, though I suppose depending on what we're doing that'd be terribly unmanageable..."

"Oh! I could never take your currency! Thank you for the offer, but, oh! Mandy, isn't it? Thank you!" Belladonna gratefully accepted the chocolate, nibbling it for a moment before addressing both Rain and Mandy. "I knew that she had offered us all some earlier, and I'm glad the offer was still good! So, unless you have lots of gummi bats back home, you can keep them. I'll eat them if you want, I really don't mind!!" In fact, while the witch was being as gracious as possible, gummi bats were some of her favorites. (They were shaped like bats! Too cute!!) Honestly she didn't want to eat any of their leader's currency, and while she didn't know anyone named Yue she had heard the name 'G' and think she knew who they she was talking about.

"I hope we're not separated..." She mumbled against the chocolate, one hand reaching out to grab Jack's tail. "I mean, it can't be anything too bad, can it??"

Over the train's icky-com, a rather agitated voice comes on, "ALL STUDENTS, STAFF, AND PERSONNEL, SIT DOWN AND GET A FIRM GRIP ON WHATEVER OR WHOEVER IS NEAREST. THE TRAIN WILL BE CRASHI-I MEAN STOPPING SOON. VERY SOON. OH JAAACK I'M TOO YOUNG AND PRETTY TO DIIIIIEEEEEEEE!"

The cars sway and bounce, stray gnomes and minipets go flying past as students try to hold on to their seats and each other. Suddenly they're tipping in one direction and failing to tip back. The train was rolling and then CRASHING! SCREAMS! DARKNESS!
