As soon as she seemed properly gripped on, he stood up, thinking she was probably unnaturally high from the ground considering he was much taller than her.
"Station Stefan, now boarding. Choo choo."
Stefan joked, unemotionally as they stepped by to wherever he was headed. He wasn't too sure, only wanting to give her a ride for the fun of it. Still, there was something gnawing at him that they needed to leave somewhere. Something that said there were dangers ahead.
"Kehehe! Annnd off we go!" Luka cheered, giving the back of his neck a soft nuzzle. In all honesty, Luka was actually pretty nervous about being dropped. But she had enough faith in Stefan that maybe it wouldn't happen. Resting her chin atop his head, like he had done many times to her, she humed quietly to herself as they walked. Excited for whatever destination he came up with. EXIT

Bailey flashed in, gathering her thoughts. She put on a fake smile, and took in the fresh, crisp air. The shifter walked over to one of the stands, and bought a large cotton candy. She walked past some of the students, smiling warmly, and going to sit against the oak tree. She pulled out her book once more, and started to pick at the pink fluff. Why did I not come here earlier..?

After a few moments of relative peace sitting beneath the tree Bailey would smell the distinctly faint smell of something burning; distinct in that you knew something was burning, vague in that you would be hard put to place it. A voice accompanied it from behind the old maple.
"Lovely night for it, isn't it? You know, to get away."
Bailey jumped, practically throwing her book. "Oh! I didn't-- I'm sorry. I didn't see you there!" she reached for her book, and then looked back to her new company. She smiled warmly. "It is, isn't it? I enjoy this time of year. Hey- I haven't seen you around the academy before I don't believe. Are you new?" she murmured softly, taking another bite of her cotton candy. Or rather, cotton fluff. She never knew much about the Gods, except that Vincent was one of them. She took in a deep breath, smelling a hint of something that had caught fire. How hard is it to make carnival food? How can you possible burn that?

The new boy smiled back at the cotton candy girl. The wind had started to pick up, blowing the subtle smell of burnt roses, if you know what those smell like, more intensely as it washed over the area and flew straight out into the blue-violet horizon. From where they were the entire place was like looking into a bowl of ants. Maybe some of them were injected with those weird proteins that made them glow neon colors which signified--something--of a medical science breakthrough or at the very least an interesting recyclable factoid for middle school and high school bio/chem teachers to hang onto in the Winter. Speaking of Winter, the area around Agni was warm, as if he himself was a crackling fireplace, now beginning to crackle with chuckles.
"You ok there?" He said stopping himself from laughing. "Sorry... Didn't mean to scare you or whatever."
"Do I go here? Nope--not yet anyway. I just heard this festival was supposed to be, like, the place to be, so I came to check it out..." He gave up a smile. "It's pretty chill. I like the way the land flows here, you know?"
"Oh! Eshu." He held out a hand for Bailey. "I'm guessing you go here." Now would be a good test for Bailey's religious knowledge. Any coincidences could be dismissed as such.
Bailey looked at the odd being for a moment. Eshu? What an interesting na- Oh my God. Why are you here?? her eyes flashed brightly, smiling still. "Bailey. I actually am a Guidance counselor at the Academy." she tried to say casually, but looked around for a moment. "I- Uhm, is there anyone else with you? Or are you just.. roaming?" she asked, in her soft, innocent tone. Why the hell is the Messenger here?? she tried not to panic.

~Dimitri O'Sullivan~
Dimitri let the conversation of the championship slide by, knowing it wasn't wise to bring up something so bitter of his past. Besides, he barely knew this person. Atleast they suddenly introduced themselves. Bree, a fitting name for her appearance. Sometimes words and imagery seem to just tie together. Although, that's subjective. Did she say apparently she went here? That's... an odd thing to say. Was she making some inside joke he wasn't getting? It didn't matter. His posture was facing her, eyes starting through tinted lenses like stars shrouded by a night sky from sight on the earth.
"My name is Dimitri O'Sullivan, the random Piano Man of a festival it appears."
He said, chuckling awkwardly. Why did he decide to just sit down and play infront of a lot of people? He was sure he gave up that musical life a long time ago. It doesn't matter. At the very least, it brought out an interesting face who had an ear for music.
"Oh yeah? That must be fun, working with the kids on that level." She's really not handling this well... Ok, well, if you consider the circumstances, she is, being all cool and collected, but she's not exactly fooling anybody with that amount of body heat radiating through the air. Mm... That's not bad. Fear is kind of a bittersweet opiate.
Eshu shook his head and put a hand on Bailey's shoulder. The look in his eyes was like a mischievous monkey who wanted so badly to tell you an inside joke, but was sworn to secrecy by his constituents. Monkey constituents, that is. "Take it easy~" He said letting go of her and leaving a warm piece of his aura on her. "I'm not here to cause trouble--though it is in my name. I'm just checking things out. Honest. The guys, Unadone mostly, will want to view your school in the future--apparently--so I was able to flip down here. Simple as that." He wasn't exactly lying. A hand swept out and presented a walking path on the edge of the festival area.
"You, uh, wanna take a walk with me?" Eshu was one of the gods who would be telling you serious things but surprised if you were to be alarmed, and so wanted nothing more than to have a lovely evening. You could just see it in his face!

Bailey nodded, keeping her slight smile. She flinched a bit when he put his hand on her. "I apologize for seeming a bit skeptical. The Gods aren't really on anyone's good side, if you can't tell. Take a walk? Sure. Uh, where are we going?" she rambled, but stopped herself before she made a fool of herself. Too late. You're a mess. Bailey closed her book, and stuffed it into her bag. Standing up and brushing herself off, she looked at him once more, still beyond nervous. Oh God, what if he goes back and tells them? No. He looks trustworthy. Mischievous as hell, but trustworthy.
There was an elephant in the room, and try as it may it wasn't able to keep from bumping into Bree and Dimitri as it tip-toed around the conversation. It bumped her in the form of a strong gust which made her take a step forward. She almost ran right into Dimitri's piano!
"Ah! ... Oh my gosh! I almost ruined it!" She said immediately backing up. Too fast, though, as it made her lose her balance. The clumsy Breanna showing herself to be in rare form as she fumbled to the ground. Rubbing her head, she looked up at the keysman.
"Ow~ ... Maybe that's my specialty, huh?" She started laughing. "Maybe we could form an act. I'll fall down a lot and you play vaudeville music. We could even get clowns to throw pies at each other!" Bree always giggled at her clumsiness like this. It made her friend zone material most of the time, but it sure was fun to be around for.

Eshu nodded and started off down the trail. When Bailey asked where it was they would be going all he had was that trademark chuckle. "Does it really matter? Come on!" He would wave to the counselor to follow over his shoulder as he took off down the trail. Into the forest he went, taking full claim of his namesake.
The trail itself, once the other lights had faded, was a sight worthy of cheesy poems for days. There were spiders in silver moonbeams, a firefly or faye here or there playing their bouncing flying games to some invisible cantata, and the water, wherever it was, was singing; sometimes lonely if it was in a play were new clay was found on the outside of fairy rings, and sometimes glorifying the night as owls took time in the subliminal beat of their dusty wings. In the middle of this, at horizon level, was Ehsu, glowing the same incandescence all balled up and smiling, waiting for his new playmate to catch up.
"Are you having fun yet! You guys really need to loosen up at the school methinks..." He sort of pouted at the thought of everyone being as skiddish and anti-fun as Bailey.
That was a large gust of wind. It took him by surprise, rustling the scarf and tie he sported. It only caught his attention for a moment, but that moment was enough for his eyes to leave the attention of his humble audience member, almost hitting the stage he relished in. The only worry he had was if she greatly hurt herself against the hard, splintered wood of such a busted and old instrument. "H-hey!"
He sat up and reached out, being too late to keep her from falling backwards. He wasn't sure what sunk his heart like a burning ship for trading spices: his lack of attempt to help or the smile she wore as she sat there. It seems she wasn't much to have care of her own being, but that did not settle the worry in his gut. His disinterested face turned to that of a smile, squatting down and leaving a limp, gloved hand for her to take if she so wished.
"There is ways to bring laughter from others without falling, but I wont stop you if you prefer the life of poofy hair and throwing pies."
Although concerned, it was still hard to keep from not laughing at the thought of having a traveling act of a circus to a theme so simple, a 40's stand-up show would cringe.

"What the- Hey! Wait up!" She giggled, following the boy. She chased him down the trail, stopping after she had nearly caught up, taking a few quick breaths. She glanced around, taking in the beauty of the trail. She had never been back this far. Bailey looked up at the God, letting out a sigh. "Man, you're quick. And for your information, I can loosen up. I'm very fun." she giggled, crossing her arms over her chest, glaring at him still. "you made me drop my cotton candy!" she whined, playfully.
Eshu couldn't shake the s**t eating grin on his face now. "Yeah? I don't know~ I think you're gonna have to prove it." Eshu giggled and darted off deeper into the forest. Above the glinting symphony rose a different sound, a rushing tumble into an ideal fluff. Eshu kept running and only looked back once to make sure Bailey was following. The god did a Peter Pan right off the edge, appearing to disappear.
