Welcome to Gaia! ::

Team ARPK!

Shun’s reply prompted a smile from her as she waved a hand dismissively in the air, ”Me? Get in trouble? No way! Protect everyone, okay?” She knew that Mot would be the only one who understood her hugs! She smiled broadly when he hugged her back, but a soft squeak of surprise left her lips when he started spinning her round and round (like a record, baby). It soon turned into giggling, finding it rather fun although she couldn’t quite make out what the boil was telling her, apart from a few words here and there that she managed to piece together.

”I will stay very safe! Very very safe! And I will miss you and Mitsu and Hel and everyone but we will meet again at the end of this field trip!” She said everything in one breath before realizing that the world was still spinning… And she was alright with that, giggling away like it was some kind of fairground ride, ”Wheeeeeeeeee~”

Hel’s brows furrowed as Mot still continued to rapid fire off questions and concerns. The usually energetic and cheerful ghoul was…a bit confused and uncertain of how to handle this. She was use to constant chattering yes, living with her eight older sisters, but this was a new level of chatter, especially coming from someone who usually wasn’t like this. “Ah…we didn’t train as much as I would have liked.” The reaper replied, rubbing the back of her neck. “…Mot.” She warned lightly. “Really, you need to relax. If I have to drag your body through the haunted house because you exhausted yourself, it will not bode well.”

The ghoul looked over as Lizzy approached, giving the demoness a nod of her head and returned the hug as well. “Greetings, friend!” She uttered, watching as the cowboil then spun her around…okay, the reaper moved a bit away as she felt a brush of Lizzy’s foot hit her apron, and tilted her head to the side as she crossed her arms. “It will be over soon enough, I imagine. We’ll see each other soon.”

TEAM MAFIA

"...Y-yes." Amrita hung her head, shoulders slumping forward to Remi's question. Lacie's appearance startled her, and she turned to regard the goul with wide gray eyes. "Yes!" She repeated again, much, much happier now. "We'll be fine! We'll make it, right?" She was beaming hopefully, and then extended her left hand (though with the way her hand was twisted, it was actually her right hand) to the ghoul. "Hi, I'm Amrita! Nice to finally meet you!" The hand was then extended to Raz, who was a little further from her. "And you as well, Ra---"

DRIVE BY HUG.

Amrita froze for a moment, then stared down at the mysteriously shorter demoness. "L-LIZZY?! U-UHM O-okay! You...you too okay?" The Vetala pat her back before the ghoul disappeared. "I promise will do my best!" Which was what she was going to do anyway, but she had promised now!

"...S-SO, ROCH - err- R-ROCK -- PAPER SCISSORS?!" Amrita cried out, trying to pay no attention to her slip while reaching out a fist to play.

(( Rock - 1, Paper - 2, Scissors - 3, people closest to winners gets it? ))

The Magic Busters

Customs left Tsetsiliya feeling especially anxious. Luckily for her, her pack had not yielded much that needed to be confiscated.. although she was now minus one bag of skinnamon rolls. But the loss of her favorite snacks was not what made her feel on edge. The fact that she was in the human world for the very first time was what made her feel so jittery. Customs only reinforced that feeling that she was actually here. She saw many familiar faces, one of which was Ren's, whom she made a tentative wave towards (while the guilt stabbed her briefly - why hadn't she gone to visit him one-on-one yet?), and with a resolute nod moved on through the crowd. Luckily she managed to pick out Taryn's bright complexion amongst the crowdgoers, and sped up her pace. Oh, she was so glad somebody had thought of these uniforms - moving quickly was easier in this jumpsuit rather than her normal skirt.

"H-Hello everyone!" she piped nervously, slowing as she approached the group. Poor Taryn looked a bit flustered, so she tried to give her friend a smile. "It is good to be seeing you again Colette, Taryn.. I am not thinking we are meeting yet, yes?" She turned her gaze towards the one unfamiliar face, Johan (whose introduction she had just caught the tail end of), and held out a tentative hand. "I am Tsetsiliya.. b-but you are welcome to call me something shorter if you are wishing." It was good that at least four of them were together, but where in Halloween was Joachim? His absence was starting to make her anxious.. they must have everyone! Safety in numbers!

Oh, how that phrase dredged up bittersweet memories from the last field trip.

With a quiet glance towards Colette, she swallowed and tried to steel her nerves inwardly. She was the second Knob here, and while there was no question that Colette was the more capable fighter and likely much more confident, the ghoul felt she had to set an example. And by Jack, she had promised herself after the last fiasco of a field trip that she would handle herself properly. Taryn and Joachim she both knew were only first years, and she felt a certain fondness for the equally-nervous ghoul. She couldn't very well let her new friends get hurt, could she? The answer was obvious - it was her obligation as an upperclassman!

Team STFU

"I'm not gonna break yer stupid... oh," West said, squinting at the pills. "Those." So, there was to be dying on the menu, eh? Bring it on. He tried to peer at the pills with as much mysterious knowledgeness as he could, but he likely just ended up looking like he had something in his eye. The demon started to take a step back, not quite ready to be smacked or squeezed by the ghoul's stupid tail again so soon, and because of this he had little difficulty noticing Savior as she ambled her way over to them.

"Savior?" Was this the same Marrowstripe? If it was her, the ghoul certainly seemed less interested in him than she had once been. "Where'd y'go all thi..." He held out a hand, intending to grab her arm, but Savior brushed right past and looked determined to scale Holly instead. West felt a stab of something approaching disappointment as she did so, and his hand continued moving until both arms were firmly crossed over his chest. Hmph. If she didn't have the decency to acknowledge him, he would do the same.

Misery Inc.

Herryk had pressed himself up against Christof as tightly as he could while still leaving a respectable distance between his body and that of the Igor -- this meant maybe one, two inches at most. Herryk wasn't feeling that bright glow of excitement he had previously felt, not after hearing ...er, reading the grim words that Christof had shared with him. The frown on his face was mighty and dark, brows drawn together, face pinched and dour.

Herryk was not a happy camper. This was going to be the most terrible thing ever. He was thankful that he had the experience of Christof. Very thankful.

Blue eyes narrowed as he caught sight of the next member of their group. He'd never met Calder (as far as he could remember, at least) but Herryk was glad that the kelpie seemed so friendly.

"Thank you," he grunted, still smushed up as close to Christof as he could get without coming off as being creepily clingy. "Herryk is very proud of his hair." The Draugr cleared his throat and resituated the bag that he clutched to his chest. "You have very nice hair yourself, and Herryk likes your hooves." They were impressive hooves, indeed. He fussed with his ascot in silence as he watched Barth's approach.

"Hello," Herryk nodded at the demon, clutching his bag in one beefy fist while the other tangled in his ascot. Despite the friendly conversation, the expression on Herryk's face did not change.

Team ARPK!

She continued to giggle as the world kept spinning. When Mot finally decided to set her down, she stumbled a few steps backwards, trying to regain her composure, with limited success. There were two Mots, two Hels… Two of everyone and everything; it was most confusing.

”I d-did!” She pumped her fist into the air before dusting down her skirt, tugging at the hem before looking up again; thankfully, the world had stopped being confusing as she inhaled deeply, ”You be safe too, Mot! And Hel is right, you need to stay calm!” Standing on tiptoes, she then ruffled Mot’s already messy bangs before grabbing Vee’s hand, ”Ohhh, let’s go find the others!”

Lizzy had gained +1 energy from Mot.

Misery Inc.

Hop. Skip. JUMP. And Freya had practically tackled Christof from the side, as her heartily welcoming hello. "I ARRIVES!" She announced, toting a ridiculously purple handbag that looked far less heavy than it was. Christof would soon find this out as she handed him the bag, and immediately moved over to survey her group. There was Herryk, who.. was wearing a shirt. She disapproved. Then there were two brand spanking new people, a boil and a ghoul.

"Hello, friends! I assumes Christof tolds yeh that I asks to tag along, ja?" She was bouncing, so very excited, and so very comfortable in her 'costume'. Really, it was just an outfit she had sitting around. The headband was new. And ridiculous. That meant it was fun.

"Are we ready to has an adventures?"
