Welcome to Gaia! ::

Right before the bell rang Vanissha had just enough time to put in her own entry for the School Fall Dance. Ripping a piece of paper she jotted down 'Midnight in Hauntlywood.' She hoped her entry would win, but she saw JD put in his own entry. And that when he spoke to her!

"JD the DJ right? From the summer night last month..." She remembered him, with a smile. "I'm sure you remember me. Vanissha." Of course he did! Who wouldn't?

She motioned with a head nod to the dance. "It's a bit of a ways and still a lot of entires to submit, but may the best monster win! I hope I see you there."

She flashed a smile just as the Bell rang and Headless headmistre's announcement called out. This was going well she reminded him where they met and her name, and added that she was going to the dance while hinting as she fun competition. Who doesn't love competition? And the bell rang just as she was wrapping up! Freaky Flawless!

"Well I'm off to class. See ya DJ!" she'd nick-name him by his profession so he'd remember her, and think she was flirting, but it wasn't too much where he wouldn't get a chuckle out of it. She waved by to him and walked to her first class, Bitology.

----

The rest of her classes where going well, no one bumped into her, or sat on her, she evn got the answer a few questions in class! Finally it was just about time for Lunch! She'd have to introduce her self to the other Fearleaders and see where JD the DJ was!

Roswell shook his head at the news and picture of Lin leaving!

"I can't believe it, the little dude--Not stellar! For the sirkus!"

*Beep!* Max corrects Roswell's bad Earth American English

"I mean the circus!" He added quickly hoping no one else herd the beep.

"MAX. What is a Circus?"

"Beep be-ep! Beep Boop." MAX replied simply, to everyone else it didn't sound like much, however, to the alien boy it was a boring run on sentence. He knew what a run on sentence was now! An how to avoid them! Stellar studying at the Li-bury for Dead Language in Summer school!

"Ah! Performances. Oh I understand now." Roswell wasn't one to judge. After all he'd done something similar, in his youth, with his music career, it was only now he lived as a normal monster.

"I don't know him well... however, perhaps Lin is focusing him his career as a circus performer?" He realized after he spoke this wouldn't leave a whole lot of earth time to eat all his food!

Glen was listening attentively to Draconia as she explained to him just what had occurred between Gryff and Lin in the Coffin Corridor only moments before their lunch period had started. While she explained what she heard and what Spectra had reported on her 'Ghostly Gossip' blog, Glen was busying himself trying to subdue a particularly long and aggressive strand of spagoonie.

There just wasn't an end to the thing!

As Draconia invited Roswell and Dashner to sit down alongside of them, Glen braced his hands on the table's edge and inhaled deeply, and the spagoonie's end whipped out of the pile on his tray and lashed him across the forehead.

Victory!...Sort of...

Glen grabbed a napkin and wiped the scare-inara sauce from his face and scooted down a spot so that Marceline could have a seat. He frowned, and finally spoke up on the topic on everyone's minds.

"I don't know what's more shocking! Lin quitting school or the fact the GG actually got a story right! Maybe Spectra is losing her touch?"

Glen rested his chin on his hand while idly reaching for his Red Ghoul with the other.

"I wonder what's going on. This just isn't like Lin. I mean, I always thought he was something of an ankle biter but everyone knew he thought the world of Gryff and Atomica! Maybe all of Gryff's demands finally pushed Lin off the deep end."

Glen then slurped a healthy dose of his Red Ghoul through a straw and set it back down before he asked.

"How is Headmistress Bloodgood reacting? I mean, nobody in the history of this school ever quit! Sure, mom told me they fired a teacher once, but a student just leaving? Horrors!"

Draconia raised an eyebrow at Dashner's new friend. An introduction would have been nice before butting into the conversation.

"I rather like Lin." Everyone's head swiveled toward Draconia in mild surprise. "I do! He's a bit obnox, it's true, but he appreciates fine literature." Draconia thought about how happily he'd accepted all of her reading recommendations at the bookstore two days ago.

"And besides, er...friend..." Draconia turned back to Ronan. "This is Monster High. This school is fit to bursting with students, with hundreds more trying to get in each year who don't make it. For someone to just up and quit and leave to jump through flaming hoops or whatever...inconceivable!"

Draconia looked across the creepateria at the myriad of students. Some were gossiping about Lin, others about an incident involving Howleen Wolf earlier in the day, and still others were chatting about completely unrelated teenage errata. Different types of monsters sat at every table, with no one monster type dominating over another.

"I just....can't imagine not wanting to be here!"

Sadly it appeared the Selkie was oblivious to any social faux pas and simply shrugged.
"I cannot imagine being anywhere else either." Actually that was a lie, he could, he just didn't much care for the image it conjured up. Nothing but snow and ice as far as they eye could see, and only his mother for company on what was set to be a very long and very dark winter. No thank you. Monster High was a far better option, and a chance he wasn't about to throw away.

"Perhaps you could ask him yourself rather than speculating wildly? He may have an excellent reason." Another shrug and he went back to his lunch.

Dashner nodded in somewhat agreement. He hasn't heard of anybody that went to Monster High and actually wanted to leave..

"But, I mean, why the CIRCUS? Out of everything in the unlife, he chooses a circus?"

Dashner loved circuses, but he had yet to understand why a monster would drop out of school to be in one.

"Oh yeah!" Ronan, this is Draconia, my beast friend. Draconia, this is Ronan, my roommate in the doomitories."

He nodded silently and went back to eating his food.

Ronan moved to shake Draconia's hand when Hellene appeared and slid into a seat between them.
"Uh.. pleased to meet you." He managed distractedly.
"Perhaps he craves the excitement and the smell of candy floss." He shrugged. "Someone has to want to join the circus or we'd never have any circuses. I just hope his act doesn't involve catapulting terrified animals at the audience again." He speculated for a moment on what his own parents would say if he'd randomly decided to join the circus, he doubted they'd be particularly pleased by the news. "Wonder what his family will think..." he mused aloud.
