Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a lot of chaos now. Small angry little creatures running everywhere attempting to chew, scrape, claw, and terrorize everyone. He grimaced watching the chaos as both the dragon and Olivia shifted to protect people. The female ghoul he's healed earlier was tossing him a few kind words that, he wasn't sure how he felt about. Sure, being a friend wasn't bad, but... he wasn't exactly someone who patched people up. At least not normally. Was it a good compliment? "Thanks." It was a quick reply before everyone seemed to launch back after the things as he watched a bit helpless.

Well perhaps not so much. He did want to help and honestly, Olivia was taking more than a few hits. Maybe he could try something larger than usual to work on that. Just a bit of concentration would be needed...

He stared ahead slightly, working on summoning up a larger patch of the cool frost than usual, intending to envelope the wight in it only to find that a rather large shadowling had noticed and darted over lunge at him and knock him off balance. That simple action left him with a few scrapes for his trouble and the cloud vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. Zip. Nada. Zilch. And a new cut to show for it.

And now he knew how Needle felt. "Tsk!" He really, REALLY wanted to smack those things. Even if it would be counter productive. At least they all seemed to be doing better.

The armored figure nodded to Selene, then watched as more shadows came, bigger and better than before.

"Help them, I shall," Ronin stated before shifting into somewhat of a more battle stance. For a small amount of students, they may find the samurai giving a little extra aid with their strike.



((The First three people who quote me and state that they are claiming will gain a damage bonus equal to the number I roll to your next attack. This number is added to your final damage, meaning AFTER all modifiers are applied.
Also if you miss, you miss, and the buff wears off.))

Alright. That, that was a bit pathetic, and his bit of pride was a bit hurt. But he could do this. And apparently no one... saw that sad display anything. So with a bit of a huff as he shook off the soreness in his leg he quickly glanced around for a target. Olivia was looking a little scruffy, but perhaps that ghoul she was guarding was a better target. She'd gotten scratched up earlier.

He quickly lifted a hand before another thing decided to chew on him and watched as the mist, far more normal in size this time, enveloped the girl briefly and patched up most of the damage she'd taken earlier. Much. Jacking. Better.

Or so he thought until he felt a shadowling leap at his side with a headbutt, and then something bit him. What the hell was wrong with this little sucke- wait why did he feel better? He glanced around, not quite sure what had happened but now he suddenly felt about as right as rain as possible.

Well whatever, back to doing his uh... job from the shadows. At least people seemed somewhat alive. Minus the two... targets?

It was quickly turning into chaos around her, and Hadiyya was having a bit of difficulty focusing on any one person or thing. So much was happening, and she was desperate to keep her focus on all of it, and that only served to hinder her.

it was the gate falling that finally tore her attention from everything, and she let out a scream as the heavy metal gate came down on what she was sure were multiple bodies, including their teacher, who had darted under at the last possible moment. There was no crash though, and the djinn could breath a sigh of relief when she realized the gate had been caught and the students almost trapped beneath it could slip free. "Professor, be careful!" It wouldn't do to have the woman crushed herself while attempting to rescue her students.

When she was free herself the tension in Yaya's shoulders eased, and she would have gone to the woman's side, but in that moment the shadows were growing. What little ground they'd made in destroying the small, almost laughable beasts was reclaimed as much larger things emerged.

"I can heal!" She called out to her fell students, not at all sure now who was hurt. "Just call out, I'll come to you!" It was the best she could do for now.

Right, more chaos and... he watched as the previously humanoid boil seemed to practically be eating the things. Well no, he wasn't eating them, just snapping them in half like twigs with his beak. Something that the fox most certainly could not do. Though he wasn't sure he was that jealous, seeing as how... they probably didn't taste good. Nor did he want the slightly crazed gleeful disposition that was coming with it.

Muke was a strange, strange thing indeed. Though quite good at playing with the shadowlings. If you wanted to call it that anything "Effective enough." He mumbled more to himself than anything as the large creature mowed down another while speaking to a ghoul. A ghoul who's statement earned her something of a blank stare from the fellow 'healer.'

Really? She couldn't figure out who was being mauled and left in shreds on her own? "Can't you pick who needs help yourself? You have eyes." Maybe not the best comment to make to a teammate, but honestly. She didn't seem blind, she should know who was being torn up. He shook his head a bit at her before glancing back across the field and deeming that, at the moment, it seemed that reaper who had a penchant for attacking a bit more than was even good for him was currently the most beaten up.

Which meant taking his own advice really. He stared at the boil briefly before attempting to summon up the mist again and flinching as he suddenly had to stop as one of the dark entitities came after him again.

Or maybe he wouldn't be getting to heal anyone at the moment. Ow. They did so love hitting them.

Her hands perpetually forming the kuji-kiri for Rin, Amarus called out to the frost boil: "Whether or not you normally heal, you are proving a useful ally today," she explained. "I am a Ghost, a Lotus Eater, why would frost bother me on any normal day?" she added, amused; unless the boil used FEAR-based frost on her, she would hardly be concerned by his nature.

No matter. They could resolve the issue of allies later. "Muka! I am pleased to have you on the field of battle alongside us," Amarus called out to her feathered friend, smiling widely.

Especially if the Ronin was offering them assistance in the form of strength. Distracted by the offer of assistance, Amarus let her kuji-kiri slip; she lost her focus, which was always the Lotus Eater's downfall. On top of that, something latched onto her leg with shadowy fingers, digging in. She sucked in a breath of pain, and slowly, but calmly, peeled it off of her.

Muka watched Amarus' continuing failed attacked. She was very deliberate in her actions and the strix couldn't help but admire her dedication... but he didn't have that sort of discipline within him.

"Oooh no problem!" The massive owl lifted and slammed down in front of the Lotus Eater ghoul, blocking some of the shadows that swarmed towards her. He didn't do them any damage back but he'd put himself between one of his friends and danger.
