Welcome to Gaia! ::

Junko squeaked and turned her head away from the splashing water, freezing in place while bracing herself for the tentacle attack.

..Nothing happened.

She opened one eye to look toward the water where the tentacle had been previously. Five...ten...twenty seconds. It wasn't coming back? O..okay then...! This was okay. "Let's hurry. I don't like this place." It wasn't as bad as that dreadful island by any means but it was still a major discomfort.

((Israfel and Aksaja))

Blue eyes lite up in an excited glee. Partners! Buddies! Aksaja had just made Israfel's day. And now would be subject to all the pains Israfel's friends were subject too. Why, because to Israfel, Aksaja was now categorized at 'Flight buddy' and flight buddies were totally bffs. Bros. Homies. Friends. Flaps of his earwings gave away his excitement at this new development.

"No no! We can go by air! I can make it! We can do it! Right Castor?" The scareon looked at his master, then at the pit. It gave the siren a look that said. "I do hope your joking but chances are you're not but I'm emo anyway and if I die-' Israfel huffed. "God, Castor, go put some black eye liner on if you're going to be making pathetic faces all day, geeze. One hour away from that mineral scareon and you're depressed. Stupid problem scareon."
Looking back at Aksaja Israfel nodded. "Yes! um! I'd love to be partners. Jericho has been teaching me and-" Speaking of the red dragon, there he was, offering encouragement to the siren. Glitter of hope and joy at the approval may have visible in the siren's eyes. "Yes!" Chest thrust out as Israfel tried to look totally like he could handle this. "Let's go! We can win this!" Wings gave a flap of determination.

So. Totally. Badass.

NO WAIT.









Picking up, Castor, who gave a light groan, Israfel backed up as far as he could be allowed.
Was he really...
Yes.
Yes he was.

Running as fast as he could blue wings spread out, before Israfel jumped off the jackin' edge of 'runway' and into the pit.


Now that.



Was badass.

((( Sorry didn't roll. = A =; )))

Gabrian is teamed up with LW

Before he could get an answer out of Ren, LW had slipped into the room, looking entirely out of place and more than slightly concerned as she looked at what Gabrian could only figure was an obstacle course up ahead, "Pretty sure this is the right room, Puppy. Don't be so concerned. I see water," he offered the she wolf a small smile and a wink before turning back to the gryphon. His hand uncurled from the other boil's forearm as Jove came in and settled himself behind Ren. For a moment, it looked like the demon was about to ask something, perhaps question the younger boil if he was alright, but apparently... he thought twice about it, shook his head and only offered him a small, hopefully gentle smile.

A small snort was offered, coupled with a shake of his head, "I... don't believe you for instant, Ren, but... we'll talk about it later," for now, the nix left it at that and instead focussed on regarding the paths up ahead with a tilt of his head. If he were to be allowed to chose, Gabrian was quite sure he'd head for the water course, "It'll be fine," was all he murmured, a hand reaching out to first pat the gryphon's shoulder, and then snake up to scratch his floresce under his chin.

His eyes strayed from the three paths, to LW, and he watched as she looked towards the gryphon and ghost-puppy with an almost downcast gaze. There was a beat, and then, after offering Ren one more pat on the shoulder, he slid away from the other boil and turned towards the she wolf, bowing low before her, "Well, I'm probably not what you want, but would you grant me the honor of this 'dance' then?" despite the bow and despite his gesture, half his attention was focused on both Malcom and the tentacles. He felt they were far enough that... he could allow himself a moment or two to cheer up the obviously crestfallen she wolf though, "It'll be alright," he straightened up and offered his hand for her to take, "All of it. I promise," that said, he offered her hand a pat or two and then turned to focus his full attention on Malcom as he explained the details.

Apparently... he could do this in serpent form, right? Well, that only made things slightly more interesting, now didn't it? Offering LW a small smile, he took a step back and shifted forms, revealing his serpent form, which was indeed longer than it was wider or bigger, "How about you cling to me and I swim across? If anything attacks us... we'll think of something along the way," he felt Davy cling around his head, wrapping his body around his horns and then moved towards the path, waiting for LW to join him.

[whisper's partner is Kite! the invisible puppy.]

Just as Whisper was going to ask the fae girl to be her partner, she was interrupted by the professor. This wasn't really a bad thing, until she saw his frown. Oh dear...

She looked down at the floating collar and smiled. It could have been worse right? It always could be worse. They were obviously taking the land path, as she couldn't fly and wasn't a strong enough swimmer to make it all the way across. Curse walked up to the pup and sniffed it, seemingly indifferent to it. Well, atleast he wasn't attacking right? "Alrighty guys, lets get going before we fall too far behind everyone else!"
