Welcome to Gaia! ::

After the wisp had looked at Raziel's drawing and settled down considerably, he sighed, glad that it might finally shut up. It walked off, and Raziel noticed a bit of fluff left behind by it on the floor. He picked up the little bit of fluff and shoved it in his pocket. You never know when these things will be useful.

It was short lived, the silence of the wisp that is. It wasn't long before it started yapping again, but this time was different. It seemed to echo. After a moment of listening, Raziel could tell there was another wisp around here somewhere. With a grumpy expression, Raziel began to search for the new annoyance.

"If only wisps knew when to shut up...." he grumbled, to the other students.

Holly sighed. Sure she didn't need sleep but she loved resting anyway, the act of just doing nothing in silence was amazing. The ghoul sent out a message to a friend on her phone before getting up. Apparently other ships were having more 'fun' then this one. She decided to go to the mess hall to see if the dog wisp was there. "Why is it even on board with us?"

Apart from the big blue sea, Astra wasn't able to see a thing, so she flew back down to the deck in time to Hear the wishp barking again...wait, was that the whisp? she wasn't sure, so she had a brief look around before she received the lesson on 'fishing' by their professor.

While it didn't appear hard at first, It because very difficult for the small fairy to keep up with the others, always the last to haul her net in huffing and puffing and the last to throw it out again. Not to mention she nearly threw herself into the water with her net several times.

After the brutal lesson in throwing the nets, to exhausted to move. "I hope she doesn't ask us to do that again..." she complained to anyone that was near.

Collapsed on the deck after their 'fishing lesson', Aurian was beginning to doubt the wisdom of these school trips. Both of the excursions she'd taken part in seemed nothing more than excuses to injure the students as much as possible. "At this rate, we'll be dead before we get there," she panted, "so what will it matter where we're going?"

It was a sad day when you were forced to realise you might have been better off with Arel in charge. Maybe.

Aurian rested up for a while. Her back and arms stung from the unfamiliar strain of fishing. This was not the relaxing sea voyage she'd been hoping for. She should have known better after the disastrous train ride last year. While she lay on the desk, a faint barking echoed around the ship.

She frowned. "Is the poor wisp lost somewhere?" She couldn't rest properly while it kept making all that noise. The vision of the poor 'puppy' trapped somewhere tugged at her protective instincts. Clambering to her feet, Aurian made a lap of the upper deck, searching for the source of the barking.

exclaim GAME: FOG SHADOWS

The moon lets in just enough light to let the swirling fog cast some fun shapes on the the walls of the ship in certain areas. For some reason the shadows are a little more vivid and animated then cloud shapes.

Basically The Rules:
* - Your gonna want to have your student try to capture the shadow by drawing it on the wall
* - You must have an rp post at least. If you want to draw your student trying to capture the shadow or draw the shadow the it self you can! The drawings optional though. Rp post is not.
* - Basically your post is a ticket to a raffle of prizes at the end of the game.
* - Prizes include 2 Druttens, 1 Sugar Cube and Five Silver Pumpkin Seeds. Rolling order will decide picking order.
* - ONE TICKET PER STUDENT

( I will roll for these in about 12 hours or more roughly)

Barely able to sit up on the deck, Astra nodded in agreement with Aurian and Holly, thinking that this trip was beginning to look worse then her last. At least she could move around more then. But what had her worried was that Aurian might be true. They could be dead by the time they got there...well, the ones that could die, at any rate.

"Do you think there is any way we could escape?" she asked the others. "Perhaps if it gets too bad, we could get off the boat and make our own way to wherever we're going" She had thought about just flying away, but then she had no idea were they were going and would just like die from exhaustion. Plus, she had reservations about abandoning everyone here. It just didn't seem right

As she pondered their predicament, she could still hear the whisp still barking away, so like the others she had gotten to her feet and warily moved about the ship, looking for the source of the sound. As she looked, the fog began to roll in again, and she noticed that the shadows on the wall seemed to be moving with a force of their own...Her own shadow seemed to have taken on it's own shape, looking more like a butterfly then anything. Curious, she reached out to try and capture it.

"I don't think I'd recommend it," Aurian said, concerned that Astra was considering such a desperate action. "I know our new Captain said Professor Arel would be fine, but she also said it was because he was an ice demon. That sounds to me like the rest of us would freeze if we jumped overboard."

Plus, Aurian did not trust Savage to notice, let alone care, that she was missing some students. Rescue would not be on the way.

As the sun fell, Aurian moved below decks, back to the shared bunk. Trying to sleep on a ship was a strange new experience. The rolling of the waves and the boat was echoed by her stomach. The Reaper wasn't sure whether to attribute it to mild sea sickness, anxiety over the trip and what else Savage had in store for them, or possibly just being stuck in human form for so long. She wasn't used to not being able to slink back into the shadows any time she felt too many eyes on her.

Perhaps it was the latter, a kind of homesickness, that made her pay attention when unusual shadows began appearing on the walls. Sitting up in bed, she stared at the wall next to her. The shadows danced and waved, curling into strange shapes. Aurian whipped her head around to stare at the window. There was nothing out there that could be causing this - just fog rolling past as it had all evening. She turned her attention back to the shadows.

"Hello?" she asked them, leaning forward until she was half off her bunk. Bright eyed and inquisitive, it seemed like Aurian expected them to answer back. "Are you alright? ... Are we related, by any chance?"

She'd never met another Reaper before enrolling at the Academy, let alone another Shadow Person. But she lived in hope. 'Family' sounded like such a nice thing. Aurian kind of wanted one - slightly less than she wanted to be an exemplary Reaper, but still on the list.

There was no reply from the shadows, just more animated action from them. Wondering if there were perhaps stuck and trying to spell out a message, Aurian pulled one of her hairpins out and began tracing the shadows. A white, chalky substances was left behind as she drew with what appeared to be a bone - from what creature was anyone's guess.
