Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vaith might have been pondering of going back to sleep under a chair when a familiar voice interrupted his thoughts. He looked up to see only a glimpse of the familiar gryphon's dirty blond hair color when he seemed to be intercepted.

Busy Ren was busy. Vaith, however being the antisocial (NOT SHY) male he was, walked towards Ren, hanging back before the crowd that surrounded the gryphon. He'd bro-fist Ren, make some small conversation and .. leave. Probably. Hanging back as he watched Ren converse with several other.. wisp.. and ghouls? Ghouls made cookies? When?

Vaith was baffled.

"Well I think the harp is wonderful, I hope Professor Blue eventually switches me over. I'm on Professor Winters boat, which ought to be wonderful I heard she likes all the amenities." She frowned a bit at the way he said Arachne's name apparently he still hadn't forgiven her the auction incident.

"Don't worry about Arachne...maybe this will be a good chance for you to start over? I'm not saying what she did was okay but...she is my friend, and...one of...us." Her tone lowered and she hoped Rosc understood what she meant. She had given him a Lucky 13 card when she had been furious with him and had yet to really explain it all.

"Anyway...there are others let me see..." She glanced at the list and smiled. "Ah Gabrian is on your boat, charming demon if not a bit evasive....like you. I believe Altair is also a succubus...I haven't had the chance to meet him though. I try and keep tabs on all the schools current demons but I do admit to having lapses in knowledge. I've heard fond things about Alwine, I believe she was in the Scarentines Auction. Tabith ran for student council but I'm afraid I don't know much else about her...and Ren...I think Ren and Gabrian are friends."

Sepheran smiled lightly, "Yes you're right," Sepheran replied feeling slightly better that Myr thought the same way. He wouldn't worry about it too much, besides if all else failed he still had Myr there to help him as well. Sepheran was really glad to have a friend with him this time, it was quite frightening not knowing anyone on the Christmas Raid.

When the other mentioned talking to the Professor he brightened a bit. Yes, that was an excellent idea! Sepheran nodded but paused briefly, "That's a great idea...but I don't even know who Professor Malcolm is," he stated. "He should be at our ship tomorrow though right? I'll ask him then," Sepheran added deciding. He wouldn't worry much more about it.

"So Myr what have you been up to lately?" Sepheran asked having noted that he didn't see much of the other around save for a short time at the auction and in music class.

Boat three? Hmm! Junko picked up the list again to read over who was on that boat, gasping with delight and point to Kasumi's name for the other ghoul. "You're on the same boat as Kasumi! That's wonderful! And the professor there is Professor Malcolm, and we know he's nice, right? So it's not so bad." Junko chirped encouragingly, patting the ghoul on the head. Lose? Lose what? This wasn't a competition, there was nothing for her to lo--oh. The ball? The ghoul frowned and looked down at the ball as well, humming thoughtfully. She was scared of losing the ball? Maybe there was some way to ensure she wouldn't lose it...

"Maybe if you carry it in a bag it won't fall out of? Then you won't lose it!" See? Not so bad! But now the kitsune was having second thoughts and trying to curl up within herself. Oh dear. This was bad. Junko did the first thing that came to mind, even if it was something that would make herself uncomfortable if done by a total stranger as well; she hugged the little blonde kitsune, petting her hair and nuzzling her cheek against her head. "It'll be okay! And this is all mandatory so...you have to anyway but the important thing is you'll be fine!" Junko smiled and then suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh, Jack! I'm so sorry! My name's Junko, what's yours?" She let go of the kitsune and folded her hands on her lap. How could she forget something so simple?!

The sounds of Luka's wolf whistle caught his attention, making him bring his phone up again, as he had just been able to put his phone away. Thankfully he didn't have to sit through his mum complaining about not seeing him as soon as she wanted to, but she had to understand. School functions over-rode her wants at the moment. The only thing that made this upcoming field trip not at all bad.

Reading through her message, a smile curved his lips a bit. She was so incredibly sweet to him and it was hard for him to know exactly how to respond to something like that. He was used to gifts, sure; from those who were hoping to gain something in return. Carry did it constantly, without prompt, and she was happy for having a hug or a kiss on the cheek from him. It made him feel... warm. And confused. But he decided to go see her before bed cause it'd be rude otherwise. So he wove his way through the crowds to the group were Carry was at, slipping an arm about her waist to give her a hug. "Hello there, Carry. Gabe, Alessa, Ren, LW. Pleasure to see you all, as always."

Jove was taking a second look at the paper in his hands when he heard a familiar voice calling out his name. Ears perking up, he spotted Yaya through the crowd. With a little tail wag he lifted a hand in greeting, and was about to start towards her when he was nearly bowled over by the gryphon. With a bit of arm flailing he stayed on his feet, but only just barely. Seeing as it was Ren who bumped him, the pup scowled up at his friend. It didn't come across as grumpy as usual though.

The little pup blinked as Ren grabbed his wrist and dragged him through the crowd. For once he was glad for the height difference between himself and his friend, he didn't have to try and wiggle through the mass of students, or worry about being stepped on, all he had to do was follow in the gryphon's wake. He kept his fluffy tail close though!

He blinked again as he was introduced to Alessa, finally meeting the one who made the delicious candy cookies. She looked very nice, and she sort of smelled like cookies! Maybe while they were on the boat together he would find a way to thank her, and- wait. Wait just one minute.

Jove turned another scowl in Ren's direction, was that why he introduced them just now? So Alessa could look after him on the boat? He wasn't a child who needed looking after! He was in the middle of a full-blown indignant puffing up when Ren continued and gave him pause. Was he saying that he wanted Alessa to be watched over too? By him?

The pup finished his puffing not with indignation, but a stern and serious expression that was meant to reassure the gryphon, "you can count on me!" He might not understand the whole ghoulfriend thing, but he did know this ghoul was very important to his friend, and he would do his best to keep her safe.

A faint blush showed on his cheeks at the soft kiss she gave but he tried not to be overly obvious about his bit of shyness. After all, it was quite unlike an envy demon to be shy! Jack forbid! "I know only one on my boat, a ghoul by the name of Astra. We were paired in a class together but past her, none. It's quite a shame that they didn't allow us to be in the same boat as each other. But I noticed that Greed's in your boat? I didn't know he had even been admitted into the school, heh." He recalled their conversation about him they had had before, wondering if he had gotten lost somewhere... or was in a store buying them out or something. "I'm hoping this trip won't involve explosions and snow. My attire, and myself, can only handle so much of that at one time." He was really hoping no boats sank or anything else dismal.

As she wheeled the luggage out, his face lit up with delight as he kissed her forehead gently in thanks. "You certainly do know how to pick things out for me, my dear! Am I that easy to figure out?" His voice was nothing but teasing. "My gifts for you are in my room still. But I definitely should be able to travel very well indeed with this! And it fits the requirements... though it seems almost shameful it's so... small, don't you agree?"
