Welcome to Gaia! ::

Death trap or not, He...should help. Probably. Maybe. It was most likely a good idea.

Unable to really get close to the edge of the boat however..was problematic at best. So, as he lacked a way to help, he just kind of..threw a life vest off the side of the ship.

It was about all he really could muster af far as 'getting close to the water' as he could get.

Wiping her bangs clear of her face, she continued to struggle against the current. On the bright side of all this; the dress was giving her no problem as it probably would have if she had left it in its original state. This was indeed a good choice on her half! Maybe because of this, Ms. Winters would over look it? If not for that reason, for the fact that any dress she would give her, would end up in such a state.

Hearing a yelp of some sort, Mei practically spun around to catch who or what it had come from. Maybe one of the ghouls..? Whoever it was, it startled her. It almost seemed they were making no progress at all! Every time Mei seemed to have been closing in the distance between her and Vaith, she was quickly swept back by an oncoming wave. Was there no devices on the ship for something like this? A life raft or anything? This trip really was a nuisance, and it was only the first day at sea!

She was still making her way towards the boil, Vaith until she was suddenly pulled from the water by Ms. Winters henchman. Although she couldn't see his expression, she could definitely tell that he did not approve of her or the others actions just now. Adverting her gaze, she hugged her knees closer to her and watched one by one as the others Aksaja and Vaith were also pulled into the boat. Patting Vaith and Aksaja on the back, she gave them both a small grin. Both were okay, or so it appeared.

Once back on the ship, Mei began to wring the water from her hair before looking over herself for any new found cracks. Nope! Everything was still good! At least it was until their Trick or Treater walked over to them in a huff. Obviously someone ate the wrong fish, or something like that. Even if she was a small source of her irritation, there was really no need to snap at them like that. They didn't exactly come along on this trip by their choice either. Not to mention, a student went overboard---were they just supposed to watch?

Pursing her lips, she took a moment to pout but quickly recovered as she found herself weightless for a moment. Just like that, her wet tattered dress was replaced with another almost identical to the previous dress. Really.. Was it too much to ask to keep the original? She had already grown so fond of it! Oh well.. She would wear the dress.. For now.. She just hoped they would have a different wardrobe for when the reached their destination. There was no way in hell she was going to walk around in this thing! Obeying Winter's words, she followed after Xypher as he showed them each to their living quarters.

So far.. This trip was a drag.. She missed Halloween Town and solid ground. Her mood decreased more as she heard Winter's eerie song. "Yep. I knew it. We're going to sink."

(( Profile :3 ))

After being helped up by her shipmate, Shine brushed herself off, frowning at the little picks in the dress that her claws kept making. She was really not designed for this kind of formal wear. Trying hard to concentrate, she took very wobbly steps towards the chaos. Someone had fallen overboard? Though she worried, she hung back, fearful of falling overboard herself. Staying away from the railing would be a good idea, she noted.

When Cloak re-emerged, she caught Shine's eye. Why was she sad? Surely nothing would happen to her...right? As she took clumsy steps towards the Trick or Treater, she wondered if it was because she lacked her counterpart. Shine decided that had to be it - if Rain were not on this boat with her, she'd probably be really upset too!

A little uneasy, the student pulled Cloak into a crooked hug. Though she meant well - hugs always made her feel much better! - the embrace seemed to turn into using Cloak as support.

[hopefully a drawing will go here when my tablet decides to work >>]

When she regained her balance, she gave her an awkward pat on the shoulder, and crept closer to the middle of the ship. Awaayyy from the side.

Now see, Israfel was fine to a point. Yeah, inside the ship. Where he felt trapped. Caged. Locked up in a metal casket on the sea that crash into and iceberg and they would all freeze in the water and no one would ever fine them and when they did the gulls would have picked them clean and the sea would grind there bones to sand and- Ms. Winter's song was not helping.

Not helping Israfel at all.

Singing on a boat- Adding to his fear of being a siren on the very thing you were supposed to aim to crash
Singing about DEATH- oh jack they would probably crash.
Some Lady also upset- Lady in the Water. Death? Maybe. It would be a twist.

Scooting himself into what he assumed to a safe little corner, Israfel got busy. Busy writing his last will and testament. It was informal. It wouldn't hold up but Israfel was freaking the jack out that he was going to die. So it seemed only right he write a will. Because that is what doomed people did. Write wills. Only about the important stuff. Like his candy stash. Or his clothes. Or silver seeds. Or that collection of random things he kept in a showbox. You know, important stuff.

Like minipets. Which he wrote should be divided to his friends and a few of his relatives. And also to anyone who could survive the journey and complete this field trip. It seemed only fair that those on the ship also be given something for being with him in his last hours of life.
This included the mystery lady. If he died, she could have some of his minipets. And maybe that cute shirt he had in purple.

Either way he posted his will on the wall and returned to moping in a corner.

He would not like to die, but if he did, at least his stuff was taken care of.

Sin was irritated, she had changed into her evening gown and then come back on deck hoping to finally have some relaxed fun with her ghoul friends. Instead she was depressed by Professor Winter's singing, infact the sad little ballad almost made her cry...almost. She couldn't let her makeup be ruined just because of a moment of sentimentality. She frowned and looked at Cloak in shock, what had her in such a tizzy? Sin sighed, she really ought to be kinder after all Cloak and Professor Winters were their chaperons.

Sin cringed at the idea but she headed down below to search for the Ships cooking area. Hopefully it was as well equipped as the rest of the ship, she had to scrounge about a bit. Ingredients weren't exactly plentiful, but fish and seaweed seemed rather abundant on the high seas. Sin went to work mixing, stirring, baking. Sin couldn't really cook, and even her baking could get questionable when she was stressed. Still she did manage to produce some Fish scale Cookies, a few Fishy Cupcakes, and a small Seaweed Fish Cake. Yum!

She balanced everything carefully her hips swaying a bit more as she kept her sea legs steady. This wasn't too hard...her high heel caught on something and she stumbled cringing as the cake landed on the deck with a splat. Well...at least she could offer Cloak the cookies and cupca-a bird swooped down drawn by the fish and gobbled the cupcake right out of Sin's grasp. Sin screeched and flapped her arms wildly whacking the bird and then gathering the cookies close and running to Cloak.

"I made you some cookies! Quick eat them!" She looked around warily, what else could go wrong?
