The raum held tightly to both girls, a flush coloring his face as Belladonna showed concern for him, and flushing even more as she gave him a warm kiss on the cheek. It was all the confidence boost he needed, and he nodded to her, catching her chin with his hand and turning her head to look at him. His eyes softened, and his wings fell a little at the prospect of separating, especially after he'd just vowed to keep them safe.
"Missing you already," he managed softly, a small sad smile playing his features as he let her go. He could only hope she'd be safe in a group, and throttle her car members if they let so much as a scratch get on her.
As she left, he turned to Yaya and smiled weakly, putting his forehead to hers, and wiping the blood away. Leaning down, he tore a strip of fabric off the bottom of his coat, where it had already frayed and torn from the wreckage. Coming back up, he dabbed at the wound, and wrapped the strip of cloth around it, positioning it to look like a headband instead of a bandage. With a weakly teasing smile, he ran a thumb over her cheek.
"There. Now you're cleaned up AND in style," he joked, trying to regain some of the 'normalness' after this whole thing. It was true, he was going through mild shock, though it had considerably lessened upon seeing the girls. "I promise, Hadiyya, stay in touch and stay safe, alright?" he said worriedly, before turning his back on both of them and stalking towards his car's group to enter the woods. He wasn't mad at them, not really, or even at the situation, but if he'd stayed any longer, he wouldn't have been able to disguise the tears of relief welling up in his eyes, and gentlemen didn't cry.
Glaring into the dark woods, his resolved steeled, he entered the forest, intent on destroying whatever lay in his path. So help the creatures of Christmas town if they so much as sneezed in his girl's directions.

To see the blush cross the Raum's face made Belladonna's own mimic the flush. She gave him her brightest smile before turning to Yaya quickly and offering the girl a scrap of paper she had picked from a pocket, a number written on it.
"Here's my number, you text me too ok? If you need anything I'll see what I can do!" Glad that the girl wanted to be friends too, Belladonna felt about brave enough to go through this crazy forest full of too-bright colors so long as she and those she cared about made it to the other side.
"Miss you more!" She sing-songed to Braum before turning and dashing off to find her group, hoping they were all alright too.
((Off to Friendship Car, erm Krumm Car!))

One minute he was holding on to prevent from falling and there were laughs and giggles and the next he was holding on for literally dear life. The cries of the intercom and the students panic rang in his ears as the unpleasant sound of a train crashing went on for what felt like for ever. He picked up no other words or instructions over the loud panic. But like everything it had to come to a stop.
OMF! As the train car crashed and stopped Kilometer somehow got flung out of a broken window and landed face first into the cold, wet snow outside. With his arms extended in front of him, his back was bent over his head. If he enjoyed his flexibility this might not have been such an annoying situation. Kilometer was more annoyed that his face planted into this odd substance more then anything else. Flopping over to the side he hear voices in the distance and crawled over. Tens of students were everywhere. If the crowded single car wasn’t enough now he’s near everyone. All four crowded cars were now clumped together. This he did not quiet approve off.
His eyes panned over the groups of students trying to find faces he knew. Whatever happened to Vaith or Ren or even that Basil girl? He didn’t speak with them much but it’s always common to try to find faces you briefly met, just to see if you’re not completely lost. Also what happened to LW? Everyone seemed to have been given instructions of some kind and they were grouped around getting... decorations? Why would.. nevermind.
The group seemed to start splitting in what he could only assume were their original train cars. It was easier to find faces he knew once they started parting from one another. His eyes caught a quick glimpse of what he thought was the red fluffy tail of the she-wolf and he headed in that direction. Of course not before stopping at where the students were getting decorations. Everyone had one so he figured they must have been important for a reason.
He grabbed tangled christmas lights. Why? Well he figured they were the easiest to carry and he did not want to be caught jingling with bells. Oh right! He had somewhere to be! Snapping back to reality he continued before tripping over his own feet into a snow pile.
As he rose he somehow got tangled up in the lights he grabbed. How was that-? Oh wow, the world looked much bigger all of a sudden.. Huh?! Needless to say something went wrong and he somehow managed to change into his small, cat form. All he could do was let out an sigh through his gas mask and ru-ah hem.. pounce through the snow towards the group.
JACK DAMN WAS THIS SNOW COLD.
((Gromble car ahoy! 8DD))

She winced slightly as Braum cleaned up her forehead, but the tenderness of the action was enough to bring a fresh welling of crystal tears to glittering blues. It did make her smile though, and she turned that thankful turn of lips up to the raum as he brushed a finger across her cheek. Wiping away the moisture at her eyes with the back of her hand. "Quite stylish." He was trying for normal, so she played along. It really had been something of a terrifying experience having thought, even for only a handful of minutes, that he might have been hurt.
"I promise." She thought about demanding once again he stay in touch, but he'd already promised. She was only stalling, she knew that. So, biting her lip, she let him turn to take his leave with only a firm squeeze to his hip as a good bye.
Sighing, she turned to Belle, taking the paper as it was offered. "I will. We'll all meet up after this is finished, ok?" The witch didn't have to agree, Hadiyya would see it done. "See you soon." She waggled her fingers as she turned to leave, jogging off towards her group.
She did make a tiny detour though on her way, running over to Junko to give her friend a quick hug before darting off again. She hoped the ghoul would be ok. She also spared a worry for West, though she knew he could take care of himself. Of course, she hadn't seen Sharra yet.. Let him be ok.
((off to oblina car!))

((Gargantuan is stuck in his natural form. He is taking the Carol of the Bells.))
G's head hurt. G's head hurt very much. With a low, unhappy grown, the beast found himself lying in the wreckage of the train, blearily lifting his head as sounds swirled fuzzily around him. He could see... something bright from here, light, and with a grunt, the monster did his best to squeeze his way out of the slightly smashed train car. The only problem was... well, he seemed to have grown at least three times his size.
Struggling to free himself, the monster eventually just chewed his way through the already-damaged hole in the train until he could get his considerable bulk outside. He certainly looked quite a fright. Now ten feet tall and gashed and bleeding in places, breathing tiredly through extended, slightly dripping jaws.
The familiar, frightening sound of Hellma was enough to make the beast hunker instinctively for a moment, wide, webbed hands splaying on the ground and accidentally bumping into some of the aforementioned bells. Oh? Well, he liked jinglies... Gingerly, G scooped them up, his shoulders hunched for a moment while he glanced around.
Everyone seemed to be leaving. His ear fins twitched as he caught the sound of 'Oblina', and after a guilty shift in posture, the monster began to lumber off in that direction. Were his students there? Were they okay? He didn't know.
This strange, white, fluffy stuff sure was cold...

((Atra is taking the Christmas Wreath)
"Owww..." Astra whined from her unknown position, still located inside the train wreck. The events of the past few minutes where forggy, but as she had been with the other students, a voice had came over the loud speaker..and thats all she could remember. Eventually she was able to open her eyes and realized she was hanging upside down, her torn up pants caught ona lose bar. Freeing herself she hovered in the air, the wings on her back keeping her in position until she saw a huge monster make a hole through the wreckage, so she followed him out.
Once outside she saw Helma, a very short yet very scary looking teacher explain to them what was to happen next. Her eyes widened at the possibilities. They were going to invade Christmas town? Wow! but first they had to get through the forest.
The fae hovered over to the supplied area, looking at all the weapons avaible before she decided to take the wreath. It would be light enough for her to carry, even while she was flying. Picking up the weapon, along with the pills and other supplies, she flew up to see where the rest of the students from her car had gone. For a minute she couldn't see them, but she saw the green monster walk away, so she followed it from the skies. "Wait for mee!" she called out.

(Vaith is taking yellow snow.)
Vaith wasn't near anybody that he knew. He had landed straight on his back, his spine shouting in pain, even on the soft snow. He grimaced, groaning as he gingerly sat up. It felt as if all his limbs were out of whack, another groan passing his lips.
God, everything hurt. He winced, rubbing his sore muscles.
"Gotta go." He had to go find everyone. Slowly but surely, he walked forward. WIth each step, snow sunk into his boots. Ugh. Wet white snow was wet. A hot shower would be really nice after this.
(Off to the gromble car~)

She had just been sitting down, examining the "lunch" that had been provided with a critical eye when a shriek alerted her to danger. Two seconds later, everything had gone dark and turbulent, far worse than when the ghost deer had come in and turned the world upside down. The distant squeal of brakes came too late to make any kind of difference, and she latched with a bruising force onto her seat, curling in to protect her vitals when the air came violently alive. Shouts and screams pried at her tightly closed lids, invisible things jostling her, something smacking with sound force into an unguarded jaw. When everything stilled and her eyes finally eased open again, there were already gnomes moving briskly about, pulling those who could not move under their own power out of the wreckage. Blinking wearily, Adelle yanked her bloodless knuckles from their death grip on the seat, noticing with a bland kind of surprise that the seat beside hers had been pulped by a collapsed ceiling. Had anyone been sitting next to her? Not that she could recall, and the lack of evidence suggested that it had been empty. For the catastrophe it had felt like, there was a lot of bright eyes and uneasy conversation taking place.
The faint tang of blood in her mouth made her spit to the side, wiping her lips on the back of her hand and using the new angle as an excuse to watch the gnomes split them back into their original groups. A dash of misplaced pink had her spying Nevena's willowy figure as she headed in another direction, relief making swift work of an unacknowledged knot in her chest. She didn't look too bad off, at least not like those who had been removed from the rubble and taken out on stretchers. There was a whispered rumor already in circulation that someone had been decapitated, an inconvenience that would take some fixing without FEAR. Neve was comparatively fine, nothing in her stride or the way she carried herself indicating injury. Maybe the excitement had already gotten to her older sibling, in which case she couldn't fault her for seeking an alternative.
Satisfied that her sister hadn't been the subject of the previous rumor, Adelle preoccupied herself with sifting through the debris after the other students started selecting their weaponry, searching in vain for the eyePod that had flown from her following their abrupt stop. Her fingers plucked at twisted metal and tugged at misshapen seatbacks, eyes narrowed and looking for the gleam of her player's casing. She'd found her bag, and her headphones still sat around her neck, one half cracked where it had protected her from meeting the brunt of a blow. But the eyePod was nowhere to be seen, only a few shattered bits of plastic that looked distressingly familiar. Hissing under her breath, the gorgon finally straightened, giving up on the search and instead taking in her surroundings. If she'd thought the train ride and its limits were oppressive, the sound of this Christmas business made her regret assuming the worst was behind them.
Still bristling from the loss, she shuffled toward the bag where the weapons were stacked, skepticism flowering anew. No blades, nothing even remotely sharp, unless the lumpy little trinket bags held something worthwhile. When she squeezed one, it had the consistency of a stuffed, declawed cat. Unimpressed, she settled for whatever was on the top of the pile, a Christmas wreath that she slid over her arm like an oversized bracelet. At least its edges were prickly, she reasoned, though the garish lights left much to be desired. The pills were crammed into the same space where her peppermint candy had gone, and the tent barely fit among the rest of her things, poles sticking awkwardly from her pack. If the eyePod had still been in its customary place, she probably wouldn't have had room. Packed with the necessary equipment, she made her way to where the other students had vanished, shooting one last glance toward the place where Neve had disappeared. Adjusting the wreath to make sure it wouldn't drop off in the transition, she took a running leap through the portal and into the frosted lands beyond.
