Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Viktor!" gasped Vaudrey, glancing from one boil to the next. "I have just realized, my good men, that out of the four of us, three are named aptly with the letter V! This must mean it is true fate that has brought us together! I am Vaudrey, and this is Volt, and now here we have Viktor!"

He clasped his hands together, puffing up a bit as his dark eyes swam with emotion (or pretended to, at least). "It is truly a miracle. And we have with us two loyal gentlemen who are also here to support us in this adventuring endeavor, even if their names are not as linked as ours are."

He gave a nod to Dekana and the newest boil, whose name he hadn't caught quite yet. Vaudrey gestured grandly forward.

"Come! Let us go seize our grand future!"

And by that he meant do what Viktor had suggested and go talk to people.

Dekana shrugged when he was asked about his quirks, the nonchalant attitude every bit the humblebrag as he spoke, "Nothing much. I've been lurking around the school for years now, mischief's my game and Dekana's the name." He was positively proud of his delinquent status and his self-declared purpose in life.

"S'long as no one gets in my way, I'll join you." The shadowy panther smiled, a flash of fang and flick of his finned tail accenting the comment as he met the others' gazes evenly. When the new arrival poked in, Dekana looked up and shook his head, a low rumble of a laugh, mildly condescending in its tone, escaped him, "This is going to be too easy."

Half the quickly forming group seemed all too eager and bubbly to be very aware of their surroundings. Part of him hoped there was at least one other predator among them... and yet part of him revelled in the idea of easy marks. It was a foreign land, he could get up to all sorts of no good!

"Well, if we are agreed then, let us depart?"

[EXIT - [I have to go to bed now, super early morning! I'm interested in more if you guys are up for it =3]]

Ah, brotherhood.

"YEAH MAN!" Torgus called loudly, and proceeded to issue the secret war handshake.*

He then put his hands on his hips, surveying the rest of the crowd as it slowly filed out the bus and, well, mingled.

"So like, where are we?"

His line of inquiry was briefly interrupted as someone started looking for their eyeball. Like. Not in their own face.

Cool.


*It was basically patty cake, followed by a chest bump, and Torgus had totally made it up. Because it sounded cool.

"Who's bigger? We or it? Who's bigger in size?" The Snake-Dragon head chirped excitedly. They were on a bus....or better say it's a giant snake carrying the bus with them inside. It was supposed to be another off-lesson field trip specially arranged for Amityville students, he'd made a lot of foods to share with his friends but he got onto the wrong bus.

There the public bus he boarded, he should know it was the wrong one but he got on, because how many times you get to travel around in a bus on an enormous snake? The answer was almost zero. The bus had loud music on and it was an unknown of the bus's destination. "Where are we going?" AJ chuckled, "Anywhere." The head blinked in confusion, but squished its giant face against the glasses for the fast-forwarding scenery, making sounds of exclamation.

It felt like the first day he traveled long through train to Amityville, the monster had shifted his attention from outside back into the bus. There were some passengers arguing with the driver for the wrong path. He chinned hands for the little drama added to the trip, red eyes curved slightly. AJ wondered if the so-called driver was controlling the snake while he was manipulating the wheel and whatnot.

The driver shouted back through the deafening music, the passengers had no choice but entrusted him for the travel. Being the wise man, AJ had fastened his seat belt. Just a U-turn, they went into the fog, up to a mountainous terrain not familiar with. It was suggested they were far away from the Halloween Town and into highland area. It was quiet until the landing of the thrown up bus broke the silence. "EEEEEeeeeeeeeeee~!" Head cheered in the several rollings, though it was part of what a normal bus travel should be. It was impressive that with the last roll, the bus flipped with its wheels touching the ground of a village.

AJ released himself from the seat, seemed not having any motion sickness or dizziness. The door slammed against the ground was like an urge of "Anyone out, I can't take it anymore! Damn all of you! Jacking stupid driver!"

A village inside fog, a city surrounded by sands, they did have similarities. The amphisbaena stretched, took a deep breath of the open air.

Shun's answers while straightforward most of the time, also tended to be a bit vague. She shrugged it off, knowing that his actions would speak more for him. It was always slightly reassuring to know that Shun was around when trouble struck, which would make him a very unfortunate character when you think of it.

Edel managed to catch the tail end of the conversation between Hel and Shun, and nodded to Lock in acknowledgment. She had seen him around before in that cave from that incident, but she never registered him as Shun's mentee.

The ghoul swayed in her spot when an arm was suddenly slung around her, and she had to smile a little forcefully as the Valkyrie practically hollered in her ear. “Ah yes, we came here for a little business,” she turned to look over her shoulder at Ivar, who was pointedly making sure to keep out of their conversation. “Vacation? Or just one of your travels and treasure hunting trips?”

Their current situation reminded her a little too much of their fieldtrips, which never bode well. Perhaps there was a little hope in this one that was not school-sanctioned.

Parties. Portals. Remembering to leave his dorm. Classes. And now, field trips. Lyle was shaping up to be quite the productive member of society, just in time to experience a devastating bus crash. Or maybe this was a smaller accident than he had assumed from all the shrieking and tumbling because it certainly seemed as though absolutely no one had been injured.

"I'm all right!" the ghost announced as sonorously as possible. He pushed debris off of his legs and floated back to his feet, disappearing into the fog almost by accident.

[ EXIT ]

Local foliage having been thoroughly prodded for now, Canon turned her attention back the group, and a flash of bright (ink stained) blue caught her eye. Was there someone hiding behind that Reaper? She scurried over to investigate, and indeed, a ghoul was wringing black liquid from her hair!

"Oh, fascinating! Does your hair normally do this?" she asked, crouching down and poking at the liquid. "Why is it black instead of blue?"

For the most part Falair had ignored the rest of the people pouring out of the bus. It wasn't until a familiar voice called her name that she spun around. All interest in the village and the fog and the dirt gone as her sister's voice called her name.

When had Na'ima gotten on the bus? How had she missed her big sister being there? It was something she wouldn't imagine Na'ima doing to be honest.

"Na'ima?" She called. Standing a few feet away from the door of the bus as she peered about for a glimpse of her sister's familiar form.
