Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alice had been there the whole time. Silent. Surveying. She was just making sure everyone was having a good time. She was happy to see everyone happy. She was..

...Avoiding that fire like the plague.

But there was one thing Alice couldn't ignore and that was a cry for help. She looked all around until she spotted the poor smoke zombie, gasping and running as fast as she could...

The vines did not agree with her decision. It was a pretty epic battle, filled with lots of broom swinging that made no contact to merely scare it away and a lot of inappropriate vine touching, but in the end a bright flash of dazzling light from a large wispy orb got them off her. She ran again, stopping when she realized...it was just..minipets.

"...Awwwwww! They like you~! That's so cute!"

Oops.

Bella saw the score very, very differently.

When Rowly kissed her forehead, her eyes closed for a moment, and she smirked. It felt nice to be treated with tenderness, and she would have done anything to keep it coming. She opened her eyes and eyed him through her eyelashes, attempting 'demure' as best as she could get. It was hard. She looked like she was just trying to come onto him. Bella never knew how to do demure very well.

"Well I'm glad, then. I'll try to make you feel better as much as I can, if that's the kind of reward I get." She chuckled softly, and bent up on her toes, leaning in to kiss him on the cheek. "Just in case," She whispered against the skin of the cheek, before getting back down to the ground, and -

...

The gates slammed in their ******** my life." Bella's suave affections dropped like a stone when she noticed they'd just been locked in. "We waited too long. Helldamnit, now I'm never getting my pizza." She muttered angrily under her breath as she glared at the back of someone's head, selfishly blaming Cain, and not herself, for the delay.

"Fine. Whatever. HELL. Let's get to work." All traces of the sexy seductress was gone, as Bella started dragging poor Rowly away, to go clean - or make him clean for her. Either or.

Arcana had been enjoying the long...long walk with Selene. To spend time with her in his company, it was a blessing from the gods. Not that he really believe in gods, but he did believe in power of higher beings. And those higher being sent him his powers with dinivination and such. And apparently had blessed with a long nerding out talk about studies and how Arcana maybe wanted to be a teacher, perhaps even Selene too. Those things.

That being said, they had completely missed on the booths on fire, returning shortly after someone announced that their was clean up duty to be had.

He gave a worried look at Selene, her arms wrapped around his arm for support. "I'm....I'm worried!" Arcana slid his arm her waist, flushing a little, "I don't mean to rush you Selene but...but I need to check on Tarot and our booth....as well as your booth and Carafe!" His blushed deepened as he kept his arm around her waist and breathed in. He could do this, he held her a million times before okay. "I...if you don't mind...I am going to lift you to carry over there....is this okay?" his head drew downward. "I...I won't touch you inappropriately....because your my fri...friend and...and such."

He was starting to look like a tomato with a crown. "I...I'll be super careful as well!"

The time had passed like a gentle breeze, and Selene hadn't even realized how late it was until Arcana suddenly worried for his sister. She shook herself out of her reverie, putting both of her arms up automatically in a position she was used to - people carried her all the time, it was nothing. Really. She felt like she was trying to convince herself of that fact, even as the blush started to creep up her cheeks.

"Of course, Arcana, if you wish to hurry, it is for the best." Her hands rested on his shoulder. "I trust you."

Not a single worry over anything inappropriate would ever occur to her, when she was with Arcana. He was such a fine, upstanding boil. He took care of her, and she knew he would always treat her with respect. Even when she sometimes felt like she wouldn't have minded just the little, teeniest, tiniest bit of .. well, she didn't even know. She'd tried to hold his hand four times during their walk, and failed before her hand had even gotten close. She was sure her entire arm would have burned off if she'd managed it.

But Arcana was a good boil. A good, sweet boil, who deserved to be respected, and cared for. She did both.

"I will always trust you, of course. Let us be off and make sure everyone is all right."

Octavia had missed the cries of the kelpie, but with no one else taking the edition that meant she still had it, and she was still intent on giving it away to (hopefully) a future customer.

Unfortunately, she now got slime and snail tank duty. Not scary at all, just gross. With a sigh the reaper summoned her pitchfork, planted it with the spines up, and slid the Hornz magazine in between the spines for anyone to take before turning toward the tank. Hopefully it wouldn't be worse than some of the diapers she'd seen, though there were an awful lot of snails coming at her...

With a grin, Dis left the little part. "See you at graduation~"

One of the cards Red would find later was from a certain someone though it did not appear as such at first



Flipping over said card showed a darker intent.

"It doesn' smell like paint, Friend. If I were ta wager a guess I would say O positive," Her eyes stared at the pumpkin thoughtfully as Westhor set it down but it really wasn't what she wanted. No, now she was hungry.

"Jack damn...." She looked to Matt shortly before turning out to the rest of the crowd. Where could she find a bite to eat?
