Welcome to Gaia! ::

As soon as Mitsu stepped passed the mirror there was a sense of being alone and she had to wonder if her fear was still being displayed and shown to her. It wasn't until Shun finally stepped up behind her that the lupine let out a relieved sigh glad to have someone nearby again. "T..this place is interesting..." Mitsu muttered, her voice shaky with what she had just seen.

It wasn't long after that the Xiu and Poke joined them, Xiu letting out a whimper and throwing her arms around the lycan. It was a bit of a surprise at first but Mitsu quickly wrapped her arms around Xiu as well, finding a bit of comfort herself in the hug. "I-I-It scared you too?" She asked shakily. Mitsu had to really wonder about Shun though, he seemed so without fear. Had he really seen anything in the mirror? Poke was much the same in the lycan's eyes. The water dragon seemed rather bold.

(Stairway)

Xiu laughed weakly at the question, pulling away slightly so that she could see Mitsu's face (or at least, her mask). "T-terrified me," She admitted, but her shaking had subsided slightly now that she was safe, "Besides, it...it wasn't real. Right?" She stared at the ghoul wide-eyed, hoping for some kind of reassurance.

When Shun spoke up, she turned to look at him. She as a little curious what he had seen in that mirror--was there really something that frightened the reaper? "I...I'll be fine in a second," Xiu answered, taking deep and slow breaths in an effort to calm down, "What about you, Mitsu?"

To Poke, she offered a small smile and wave, but a sudden frown found it's way to her face. Where were Cuinn and Fuiarie? A quick sweep around determined that the former was no where to be seen, but the latter was close by, crouching on the ground. Brows knitting together in concern, the Baku approaching him warily, slowly reaching out to rest a hand on his shoulder. "...A-are you...?"

( Hallway )

n__________n. Oooo. Pets. <333 Thanatos' current train of thought was quite thoroughly derailed as the dragon's fingers began to run through fur, and he leaned into the touch unabashedly. It felt nice! And just like when Merry had done it, it wasn't at all like when people pulled his ears, not at all! Quite the opposite, as the pup sighed rather contentedly, the tip of his tail thumping softly on the floor...once, twice, thrice. "Very glads 'Saja missed it, is Than..." He chirruped, still rather attached to the taller boil's limb. "Tho 'Saja is a good clingy-post..." =w= Heh, the mirrors probably wouldn't have scared him, as the Fae-Hound had full faith in the lightening dragon's ability to do near-anything at this point.

At the praise, however, he did perk slightly, ears flickering forward, and tail now sweeping the floor like a pendulum gone haywire. "Than is a good Than!" He replied with not a little enthusiasm, violet eye lighting up as he received such words from the boil that he regarded as his first friend...well...maybe first. Merry sort of counted too. The two-firsts. That is what they would be in the pup's mind.

As his two friends introduced themselves to one another further, Thanatos then reached up to snag Aksaja's wrist, and haul himself up by it, achieving a standing position a few moments later, and then proceeding to turn round in circles as he brushed away some of the dust and glitter that was clinging to his person. "Messymessmess..." He muttered, nose wrinkling as some of it flew up into his sensitive nose, causing a sneeze which he politely stifled into his sleeve. "Mnnngh. Itchy-nose dust." Came the grumble, "Merry-bird and 'Saja! Let's go from the itchy-dust and find the fun-parts of the scary-house!" Reaching out, he then sought both of their hands, fully intending to lead them on down the hallway, the terrors of before utterly forgotten, as his energetically wagging tail gave testament to.

Nothing could get him with these two as his escorts!

(( Whoops, got caught up in some Pokemon White and forgot to post. 8D; ))

((Hallway))








While not very into the massive hug (its thin arms could not contain so many at once), Vero seemed to be among the few (if not the only one) who wished the tight collective had remained. It brought a sense of comfort, being crushed between many bodies; it was hard to explain, but it was much like the feeling of being cocooned which, though not the correct species to be affiliated with it, was still a nice feeling.

Damien and Faint decidedly took the lead along with Mooka as well as the other boil who had collapsed against the wall earlier, the latter which spoke in a language Vero couldn't identify at the moment. This was a good enough formation for the spirit: these were the boils it assumed could take action against any other horror the house had.

For now, Vero kept alongside Edel and the werewolf who identified herself was LW, timidly bent under its cloak, hands clutching each other. "We are Vero," it identified itself for the fur-ghoul's sake. "And we are glad to not be alone. The kittens were bad enough . . ." And now eyesore pink walls and a soul-gazing mirror.

((Hallway))

The hellhound could feel the hug's force fading away bit by bit as the tiger boil and himself started to make some headway. Only to have Ulmuka release the hug and let them all free while LW was scolding them. Damien tottered a few steps and immediately went to stretch and enjoy the space that he missed before turning back to reply to the werewolf. "What he said, we got out of it right?" he said, jerking his thumb in the other boils direction.

Or at least where he was as the green eared boil whirled around to find him. "Hey, where'd ya go?" he asked while tilting his head at the sight of Faint staring down a trio of kittens. His eyes widened in horror and mild amusement as they exploded like little deceptively cute bombs on the boil. This time instead of a deadly cloud of glitter, it was a mass of pink ribbons all over the boil.

The mere look on Faint's face put the hellhound into a fit of laughs as he walked up behind the tiger, plucking off the ribbons from his tail. "And me without my skellyphone." he cooed out before using his own bushy tail to sweep the pink crap off Faint. "Nice work there kitten whisperer, maybe the next set will cover you in cotton candy." he bark out jokingly and then fell into another fit of laughs onto the floor.

It really was the perfect thing to see after such a daunting trial, just to help the others lighten up and they all could get back to normal.

((Hallway))

Damien managed to cease his chuckling long enough to peer up at the seething Faint and a ribbon that fell from the boil's ear to his face. "very much so." he managed to sputter out before he went into another laughing fit.

Not even the two sweaters that the boil managed to take off stopped him from his chuckling that made him feel like his lungs were on fire. "As long as you don't puke on me, its all good." he managed to say breathlessly as he went through the arduous task of getting air.

He knew he should have been bothered by the pink, but after braving through the pink walled area and all the creepily cute stuff, he was just too dog gone tired to care right now.

[Hallway]

The ghost kid had a good idea. Mimicking Sebastian, Faint took his vest and sweater, shaking them over Demi's head with an evil grin. He'd already shaken a lot of the ribbons out, be a good number floated down to land on Demi's head, draping over his face. "Still funny?"

At Sebastian's wondering, he turned and raised his brow. "Are you kidding? This is kitten paradise. Ribbons to play with, teddy bears to kneed at. All they need are a bunch of kids to play with them all day." Faint was confident in his analysis, because he'd been a cub once. He knew the thought-processes of baby felines first hand. Personally, he'd used thick ropes, real carcasses, rather than stuffed ones, and had rough-housed with his older brothers. Plus, there wasn't quite so much pink and yellow in his cubhood.

Before his correction had much time to sink in for the boil, there was another explosion, and Faint was on his a** laughing at another's glittery demise.

With two warm hands in his own, the Fae-pup felt absolutely fearless in his exploration, padding further down that long hallway. As the question was poised as to the glitter and dust, he shrugged faintly. "Than doesna know...mebbe glitterbombs or a happy, happy sparkly ghost-monster." He mused, all unaware of the explosive, sparkling and nauseatingly cute carnage there had been before his arrival. "But not worries! If we see the glitter-dusters, Than knows they cannot be scaryBOOM. Too much glittersparklies to be scaryboom."

Frowning slightly when the dragon mentioned the rest of the festivities, he shook his head, eye closing for a moment. "Nopenopenope." He replied sighing in a whuffly, reluctant fashion. 8[ "So many peoples and noises and....there was puppything that someone went BOOMSMACK with a hammer. A-and Than was not stayingslike. Nopenope." Yes, he'd taken a gander about, but for the most part, he'd been tentative to actually throw himself into any of the games, or to introduce himself to any of the strangers floating around. As long as he had something familiar, Thanatos was fearless...but cast adrift in a sea of strangers he found himself at an utter loss.

Then, the ebon-haired youth cast a glance over his shoulder, an almost impish glint in his eye, "But if Aksaja and Merry-bird go with Than, then mebbeso will try woosh-games again." There was a spirited wave of his tail to and fro, the tip of it the most animated part of the affair, seeming more cat-like at the moment, than truly canine. But then, the boil was a mix of races, with hound merely happening to be the most predominant. He had a goal in mind, just now, and that was to get these to to accompany him and never ever ever ever leave until they all had to go to their respective homes. ^___^ Yup. It was a good plan.
