Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tahki felt a little better hearing she had assumed kind of right. He was a reaper and not a ghost. At least he hadn't ended up being a monster. She gave a sigh of relief. Then it was her turn to answer a question again.

"Gryphon... But if you want to be exact, Arctic Gryphon... " She didn't go in to much more detail then that. "S-sorry. I don't mean to be.. uhh.... nervous?"

The headphones were placed back on her head. "So you don't like these things either hmm?" That seemed to be common ground at least. Tahki took a small breath, "Thats actually really nice to hear."

Gene found her table number, 7, and looked around to find said table, and said partner - a person named Riyo. She followed her on Groanspring (she found the ghoul through Mot's account), so she had a vague idea of what the cat ghoul looked like. She saw the shock of long blonde hair, matched with a top hat and black ears, sitting at the 7 table.

She sat herself down, giving the bakeneko across from her a polite smile. "Hello! You must be Riyo. My name is Gene. She offered her hand for a shake, whislt thinking of a good ice breaker question. They only had 15 minutes, so no time for dilly dallying. "What's your biggest pet peeve?"

"...Mitsu?!" Amrita gasped out, recognizing the voice. Since when did her face look like this?! So many questions! So many! But questions would have to wait; for now, sitting. Grey eyes had followed her point towards the table, and then headed over with the ghoul, taking a seat.

"How've you been? It's been so long~!" Amrita still wasn't the best at starting conversation, but it was a very obvious, very overdue question.

"Umm...I've been...okay. Busy." She settled on that, fidgeting her hands on her lap under the table. There were lots of fights and battles and hardships, but...she was okay! "Much better lately!" Amrita grinned, leaning her elbows on the table. Much better! Her stomach was nice and fluttery still though...

"O-oh, um, th-thank you!" The compliment made her suddenly sheepish, flushing lightly. "Just before the council elections...I ah, thought it was time for another body." She curled her hands around the back of her own neck, her arms crossed to make it easier. "Malodore and Christof built me! It's all them." People kept calling her pretty, but...this wasn't her real face, and never would be. By a technicality though, it was.

"You've changed, too! You look happier!" She wasn't sure if she liked that word for Mitsu, but it was the closest she could think of; after all, the ghoul didn't change too much, but she still somehow changed a lot! "What happened to your mask?"

Mitsu's head tilted slightly as she listened so intently to what Amrita had to say. From the sound of it things had happened but how true that was. The field trip, the hunters, and Christmastival. There was such a mess of things that had happened since Mitsu had arrived even when she looked back it was hard to imagine not even a year had passed.

"Oh! You decided on the change then." It was interesting to hear that Malodore and Christof had built her body. For Mitsu it was a hard concept to wrap her brain around. For one being able to move memories from one body to the other. Perhaps it really was as simple as transferring the Vetala's brain. The other thought that hit her Mitsu was afraid to ask, mostly because she was unsure of what the answer would be. What had happened to Amrita's old body? True the Vetala was here with her but that little girl that Mitsu had first met would also always be Amrita to her. It would be sad to think that the body had been discarded or..used for something else.

"Do you like your new body?" Mitsu decided to ask instead. If Amrita was happy that was all that really matter right?

"Oh yes!" Mitsu started on Amrita's comment about being happy. "It's been a tough year adjusting but ummm," Her eyes shifted over to look at Shun at the neighboring table, blushing lightly before she looked back at the table cloth with a shy smile. "I've managed. I had a bit of a mishap with my mask and....misplaced it for a while." Mitsu wasn't willing to throw Mac under the bus for what he had done even now. Maybe because his threat still loomed in her mind even though she had her mask back now. "I had a new mask for a bit but during the field trip I uhh...decided I was better off without it." Mostly because she had been afraid to put it on. After having it stuck to her face she never wanted that to happen again.

Mitsu blushed a bit when Amrita groped herself, having no idea what it was like to be top heavy. She was still rather small chested so the problem just wasn't there. "I...is there nothing Malodore of Christof can do?" If she was unhappy with that asset wasn't there a way to change it? They had given her a whole new body after all.

"I...I did like the mask. It was special to me. It was from my parents. My mother would wear it at the Full Moon Festival." Though when the undead said she was prettier Mitsu blushed and looked away finding the table cloth strangely interesting. The reason behind the mask had been important at the time but now it seemed a little silly especially since Mitsu had grown so comfortable not wearing it. "I wore it because...I was afraid of what people would say." She had always found it hard to admit the reason and rarely ever shared but this was what this was about. Getting to know someone else. "I was made fun of so much at my old school because of my face, it just seemed easier to hide."

"O..oh I see," Mitsu could understand that she supposed. If they had worked on putting her together she didn't want them to think she didn't appreciate it. At least she was getting the hang of it though.

"Y..yeah. W..well I guess that's the problem," She seemed perplexed trying to think about it now. Everyone here was so nice here and in fact she had met a few monsters with pretty and cute features as well. "The school I went to was mainly full of monsters. Monsters with scary or grotesque features." She seemed to think about it longingly in a way, for them it was so easy to be scary. "Just the sight of them says scary and then...then there was me."

Mitsu seemed rather embarrassed, shifting around uncomfortably, taking hold of the table cloth to fidget with it. "Have you had trouble like that before?"
