Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christof weighed his options as he perched on his stool, swinging the backpack *gingerly* around as his still aching back from etiquette class gave a pinch to set it on his lap. The smell of flatulence arose as he flipped the lid open and a very happy face appeared, blinking around at the other Undead around him with joyful malice, stumpy fluffy tail wagging excitedly.

Juggling the scareon under one arm and his notebook in the other, Christof quickly scribbled down in what he hoped was legible handwriting big enough for the circle by the fire to read:

I am Christof.
This is Scruff.
He keeps eating things he is not supposed to.
I am not sure if he is spoiled, stupid or dominant
But he keeps eating my boots.

He was running out of unravaged pairs. That done, he set the fat, slobbering beast down at his feet to finish yanking his remaining unchewed boots onto the pile with the rest, a toe sticking out of his worn and chewed socks.

Scruff flopped when he was put down, rolling a bit to the side with a happy growl before casually spotting the rat-like pet at Malodore's ankles- for a scareon of his.... stature, he moved quickly, yapping excitedly as it tore away from it's Master towards what he could only assume was a snack waiting for him at the undead Plague Doctor's feet.

[2 - Pampered] Get 1-10 or 90-100 to pass
FAIL which is not a surprise XD

((Natalia & Right On the Pathling
He is a pampered fool, although a mix of 2 and 3 really...but lets roll with number 2 in mind.))

FAIL

Dasher stared at the floor. It looked like grass. Is it grass? It probably is grass, and the Reindeer walked off a few feet before starting to eat it.

Colette's face flushed red as she frowned, heartbroken. Dasher didn't listen.. but she fed him all the time! This was just embarrassing, and she sighed before going to pick him up and return to her seat without a word.

FAIL!



Gabrian watched as students began to show up, smirking up at Alessa as she sat by his side. For some odd reason, he looked horribly amused over the fact she'd picked that particular seat, given the fact there had been a room full of seats when she'd entered, "What, you mean the students over there?" he motioned over to the shoe rack with his head, "I believe they don't like the fire, actually. I find I rather like it, myself. It's not water, but it keeps you warm if you sit at a safe distance."

It was right about then that the Floresce noticed the lepus on Alessa's lap and it instantly began to slither down Gabrian's body so that it could give the other pet a particularly amusing 'look'. It was somewhere between googly eyes and a flirty look, which was destroyed when the demon let out a sigh and hoisted the snake-fish be, "Let it be, mate. I think she wants as much to do with you as her owner with me," the Floresce gave out a whine, and then a growl but allowed his owner to perch him on his neck again. As Ren walked in, the nix turned to watch the other boil, "Another lepus... mine aren't half as bad as these," then again, the Floresce made up for the other pets' lack of bad behavior. He turned and also offered Astra a smile, this one much less teasing than the one he'd offered to the rabbit ghoul earlier, "Good to see you too. I hope you enjoy this class. You don't seem half as worried about the fire as some of the others."

He spotted other students he knew, but he was distracted by LW's entry, specially seeing as how she chose the seat to his right. Granted, he still felt slightly awkward around her, but he'd by now determined... since the ghoul had apparently unmasked him, he would be a fool not to make the most of it. This was one ghoul he wouldn't have to put up a facade around, which was... rather relaxing, actually, when one paused to think about it. That in mind, he was able to offer her a small, almost fond smile, "Hello," a pause as he turned to look at her batling, "Ever tried music? They say it calms the beast, my dear. Might work wonders. I've have tried it with Davy myself, but he seems uninterested," The Floresce in question had perked up and was looking at LW; one could swear it was smirking at her, and then reached out to nuzzle the she wolf's neck.

Just as Gabrian grabbed his pet back, the class started, and after the Professor's introduction and the invisible dog's leap (Jack damnit, that hound had been heavier than it looked!), he had decided this class would be quite interesting. Granted, his head hurt a touch from where the dog had lept from, and he found himself rubbing it absentmindedly with one hand as he scowled, but he got over his shock and mild irritation quite swiftly, "Right," he murmured after a couple of students introduced themselves and their pets, "This is Davy," he motioned to the pet that had returned to his perch, curled around the demon's neck, "He's a Floresce," then, he coughed into a closed fist, and tried to sound as commanding and intimidating as demonly possible, "Davy! Sit!" a pause "At my feet boy!" the Floresce blinked his huge, blue eyes at Gabrian and then promptly opened his mouth, yawned, and lay his head on top of the demon's green hair, apparently having decided to take a nap instead of paying attention to his owner.

A sigh followed; this was exactly why he needed this class.

((Rolling.. for Luka, it's number 1.. that poor thing is retarded.. but Livi loves him anyway!!))

Luka had gone almost rabid at seeing all the new people and their pets. Bouncing around like he had no common sense (which he didn't), he yapped excitedly until Livi pressed just so on his forehead. Envy knew his foxsquirrel was denser than a brick and with no lights on upstairs. When he had first realized it, he immediately wanted to be rid of him, due to his ingrained fickle nature. But the little thing had endeared itself to him and he blamed his mental problems on being too small for its age and was maybe the runt of the litter. That had to be at fault for Luka's obvious lackings... he was too cute to get rid of.

Livi would have spoken to Tomoko the first time she sat down next to him but right before he could, she moved away. He didn't take offense to it, as he figured she wanted to sit with friends, but when she came back, he was just all baffled. But he smiled and bowed anyway. "Nice to meet you, Miss. I'm Livi." He had to at least say hi, right? Luka looked at her and her pet curiously before he rolled on the ground and wolf whistled. He didn't know what it meant, but Pride had done it before and he could whistle too, see? He kept whistling til Livi clamped his mouth shut with his fingers.

"This is Luka and he's a foxsquirrel." He spoke up once it was his turn. "Sadly, he's the runt of his litter, as I've yet to find one quite as small as him, so he's a bit... special." Envy was not the type to call anyone retarded, though retarded Luka most definitely is. "He does his best though, don't you, Luka?" Smiling gently, he rubbed his ears and enjoyed the musical howl Luka gave off to it. Getting the pup to pay attention was difficult but once he had it, he gave him the command. "Okay, Luka, I need you to sit for me now."

Sit? Luka stared at Livi blankly before he yapped and did just that, shocking the crap out of his owner. How on... that joy quickly turned to dismay as Luka rolled over, kicking his tiny paws into the air as he yapped happy, his tongue lollying and heart bubbles appearing again. "Almost, Luka... almost." Luka didn't realize that he had truly failed and flailed about on his back, looking like he had just gotten his favorite treat as a reward. Livi was glad he had brought him to class. He could learn, he knew he could, just.. needed a lot of practice.

FAIL!! Tho.. not as bad I had feared XD

[2 - Pampered] Get 1-10 or 90-100 to pass (FAIL!)

Getting to her own feet, the marid bent to place the dream scareon on the floor near her feet, and as expected, Hani'ah stood there for all of two seconds before walking off to investigate something. That something appeared to be Gabrian's foot. Frowning gently, the demon smoothed hands along her sides before addressing the teacher and her fellow classmates.

"My Pet is Hani'ah, the dream scareon." Swimming blues flicking towards the dream, Yaya turned, snapped her fingers, and pointed at her feet. It was the signal that all her pets, and even West's pets, knew as 'heel'. Of course, Hani being so very new, didn't have the command down quite yet. She DID look up at the noise and bound back to the marid obediently, but went on to bounce around the ghoul's feet before darting of again to sniff around some more.

Well, that wasn't a complete failure, but it had not been the desired effect. Yaya sighed softly, but smiled anyways. "Almost."

A smile had grown on the ghouls face as their teacher spoke, eyes darting to Right On and then back up and across the flames. She swept over most of the students pets that could be seen, trying to make out what Renaissance and LW had while waiting patiently for her turn to come. The lessons for this course were exactly what she wanted and what the pathling needed...dear Jack she was so excited.

But Right On was quite the opposite, seated rigidly in his owners lap with one hoof stabbing her thigh. No, no. He thought, pressing against Natalia's chest instinctively, when a leash leapt over the fire and floated on a random boils lap. This was not where he wanted to be! NO. No...but maybe, just maybe if he sat still and quiet for a long time Natalia would forget to participate and they would be home in no time!...

That was of course too much to hope for.

Shoving the black goat-thing off her lap, Natalia stood and brushed her pants off. Half noticing the lack of shoes on some of the others, the ghoul was about to slip her peep-toes off when a pull at her wrist averted her attention. It was her turn and Right On knew it. Chomping down on the leash several times while releasing a high-pitched whine, the pathling rose up on its back legs and leaned against the monsters leg; begging to be picked up. He was a tiny thing in comparison to others, but his weight was still enough to knock the ghoul off balance.

Natalia frowned, almost unable to resist the poor creatures plea, but was reminded of the reason she had taken on the course in the first place. "Down" she commanded finally, turning her nose up while pulling back on the leash some. At first the leather gave and sagged, and Natalia nodded her head as if in approval. Turning toward the ground to see what it was she had accomplished, she sort of felt dumb for not expecting as much.

What victory the ghoul THOUGHT she had was actually one big FAIL. Spotting the collar without its wearer, Natalia's face crumpled in shock. "No, bad boy!" She yelled, clicking her heels after Right On and catching him just seconds before he could reach the door. (which was closed by this time, but still...he had hope someone would come in late) Returning to her seat with the pathling nuzzling her cheek affectionately, the monster tried to hide her embarrassment.

"Well this is Right On, my lovely little Pathling; go on buddy say hi!...Oh, he's shy. Hehe...Uhm, anyway I am Natalia." Settling back, the ghoul bit down on her lower lip and scolded her pet quietly; who looked content, even if the collar had been placed around his neck again.
