Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vaith made a little grunt of shock, as his vision was suddenly obscured from the gathering around him. He tipped his fedora hat a little towards the top as Xiu talked, her obvious worry only making him more determined. of course, Caith was worried too but to know Xiu was worried about him personally was like a little noise pin in his bag. Even though it couldn't be used in your deck, you knew that it was there for you in cases of emergencies.

He might have made a weird face when Xiu put both of her hands on his cheeks to squish his expression together. He walked over to Shun, hanging back at Shun conversed with Mitsu. He wanted to report to the boil, but seeing so many couples and friends gathering around each other in this room made him a little wistful.

Vaith's quiet voice interrupted, momentarily in Shun's conversation, his pointer finger gesturing he would only take a second of Shun's time. "Reporting to you, is there anything special you'd require from me?"

Calder arrived in what was instructed to be 'light' clothing. He decided to wear a kilt that was worn a bit that meant it wasn't as dark, and a white, tunic top. These where the lightest colored clothes he had, and hoped that would do. His jacket was far too dark, which meant he left it home.

He knew where the Fitness class, as it was right next door to N.A.P. had he had his own fair share of drama and conflict with the class. When he arrived, he listened closely and waited for everyone to break off into groups. Touching his lips and unsure what to do, he moved closer to Lizzy. Ever since they went through the trials together, he was feeling that what bad blood that was between them (No thanks to him trying to drown her) was now all water under the bridge. He tapped her shoulder. "Um..do you still need help with Group 1?"

Shehk would have offered to lend her abilities to tailing the decoy if.....if she hadn't felt like she needed to put her abilities to making sure Jericho didn't flip his s**t unnecessarily somewhere else. It wasn't that she didn't trust the dragon - she trusted him with her life, but....

she wasn't sure why she worried about him so. She simply did. She looked to him, then slipped her arm underneath her jacket, scratching at one of her shoulders irritatedly with a small frown on her face. She hadn't been able to stop feeling burning, that flaking horrible feeling still instilled in her flesh. It burned - it didn't relent when she begged it to stop.

"Xiu!" She gave the ghoul a hug before cupping Israfel in her hands and holding it up for her to see, "Israfel volunteered to be our tracker!" She sounded really proud but extremely worried; because he was so small, he made the perfect tracker, but also because of it, he was probably vulnerable...

The tap on her shoulder snapped her out of her thoughts, however, and she turned around to see Calder; ever since the trials, she had regarded him as a friend she could rely on... And was glad to see that he was well. After all, when she woke up that day, her last memory was that of them vanishing into the fog... Going 'home'...

"Calder! Hi!" She smiled, and would had hugged him if not for the fact that she was still carrying Israfel in her hand, "Oh... Yes, they do need someone for group 1! Uh... Come here!" She gestured for Calder - and Xiu too, if she wanted - to follow, heading straight for Invictus.

"Invictus, Calder had volunteered to act as our lure," She had a feeling that he might be able to pull it off; after all, it was foggy in the woods, and if he changed into his natural form, they might not even notice that he had hoofs instead of feet, "But we're supposed to get your permission..."

Shun raised an eyebrow at Bul for the moment, then nodded quietly. His attention soon shifted over towards Calder and the others. It seemed they had found their decoy. Quite frankly, the Kelpie did make a pretty good match for the role.

"Good. When you two are done dealing with the Kuroda, you're free to join the fight with the rest of us at the Haunted House," he told Calder and Israfel. If they didn't want to, that was fine as well, but the more hands they had to help deal the hunter was probably for the better.

"So then, is everyone clear on what they need to do?"

Levi sat in and listened. It had been difficult for her to understand strategy talk the last time they had a "meeting" with the admin. The creaking of her rusty thought wheels moved slower at some points and quicker when she thought she was on track.

She'd help where she could for sure. After the trials, there was no way Levi would stay out of the possibility to tear out a hunter. If something did go wrong, she'd be there to enforce the strength of Halloween as thoroughly and entirely as she could. None of them would become a tool for the humans; none of them.

Considering her options, Levi was relieved when Calder took on the roll of Invictus. She wouldn't have been short enough for that. She was no reaper or boil- so this left her in the position that required silent overseeing of the events.

This was a role Levi felt she could successfully take on. She could watch over her peers and jump in if a fight should break out.

Hel looked totally assured.

Not.

The ghoul stared up at the cowboil incredulously with a raised brow. “Uh huh…” She pinched the bridge of her nose for a moment before smacking a fist in her palm. “Ah! I got it. Just imagine all the beings you will be dealing with are all clones of someone you do not like at all, ya?” It was like imagining all the people were Titus clones for Hel. That’d made her cold and arrogant really quick.

Shun stared at Mot as he pulled it off rather nicely.

"That's better. I wasn't sure if you had it in you," he commented.
