Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vanna slipped away. Kingston looked up and watched his friend slip into the crowd, but he didn't seem to go too far as he shouted a name. Must have been someone he knew? He didn't like that he was alone again, well, not really alone. The young lady he was trying to help started sneezing. "I'm so sorry. Are you allergic to grimm?" He let his tail fall away. "I'm Kingston. You looked really upset. Are you going to be ok?" He really was concerned for the kid. "Were you separated from your friends or something?" He glanced back up to look at Vanna and saw him with a cute junior. Maybe he was trying to help her out too. Ugh, he wanted to go be near people he knew. Vanna or Mai or Ren or anyone. But nope! He was here to help this girl. "Coco is a cute name." He smiled.

Roshan still hadn't found a good spot when their shoulder was tapped. Turning around they found themselves with an older Nightmare with a plushie in their hands. They explained the situation and handed the plushie out to Roshan.

"Oh...Okay. Thank you." Roshan said while slowly taking the plushie. They then hugged the soft toy close to their chest while looking up at the kid. "I'm alright. I think."

The kid then moved on to other freshlings while Roshan stared after them. Were they allowed to join in on the other conversations? It was hard to tell with the current situation going on.

There were a few perks of being tall, people tended not to mess with you and if your friends needed to pick you out of the crowd then you stood above most other people. Sure there were dryads and other Chimera taller than him but being tall was a perk he liked. He turned to start going towards Eilwen and stopped. He knew Kingston wasn’t going to leave the Demon junior as that was just the type of guy that he was and the demon looked like they weren’t going to move, but he had to go over to Eilwen.

Sure He wasn’t a part of the academy anymore and Eilwen was a junior now but still she was his little sister no matter how old they got. However Kingston was his friend and his possessive protective nature wanted both his people together now. Since obviously the Universe was deeming it impossible to have his other family and Mai/Ren with him. His wings twitched irritably. No this wasn’t the time to show that things were getting to him, He had to be calm and put together.

“Hi Coco, I’m Kingston’s taller friend Vanna. How about we all move over there. My little sister is over there and bigger groups tend to intimidate some people… keep them from attacking and there is safety in numbers” Vanna stated having traveled over to Kingston and Coco again since Eilwen seemed to have a reason to stay where they were. It wasn't his normal charming self but he was on a mission. Slowly just herd people where he wanted.

Walking over to where Eilwen was he made sure to check that she was okay... which he would take a huge guess was a no. He didn't see her little brother around. Asking if she was okay was out of the question. It was obvious she wasn't, which left....

"Hey Eilwen, is there anything I can do?"

It took Harley a moment to realize that someone was addressing her. She sucked in a big breath of air before looking up at them. "Ah... Yuta... Sent you?" She saw the little Kumiho next to them. The freshling gave a little wave before heading off, looking like he was determined to figure something out. The hybrid's attention fell back upon the other student. "H-hi Baum... I guess... Will you keep me company? I don't want to think about this..." She gestured a hand to the crowd, to everything. She wanted to be in bed, tucked under her blankets, but she knew he couldn't do anything about that.

Roshan decided that they would take this older student up on their gesture to follow them. They weren't normally the type to require close attention, but that didn't mean they liked to be alone. Out of the other kids in the auditorium, this one seemed calmer and yet also nice.

Hearing the voice of another freshling such as themselves, Roshan peeked around to find the young bakeneko. They put on their best smile-- a small quirk of the lips-- and waved to them. "Hi... Um... I'm Roshan."

That was good, right? It sounded pleasant and this Nightmare seemed to want a fellow freshling to talk to. Roshan may not have the best social appearance but they were willing to offer their services as someone to talk to. They looked up to the older kid as if seeking confirmation that they had done well.

Coco blinked and rubbed her face, she wished she had a tissue and now she felt bad sneeze in front of this senior. Coco looked away from Kingston. She glanced back feeling uncomfortable. "Umm I don't think so.. but I'm not sure I don't know many grimms.." Coco said softly not really wanting to tell a stranger that she didn't have many friends. Coco frowned and then said "Didn't you hear the broadcast aren't you frightened?? What about those being Mr. X said were coming and wanted to hurt people??" Coco started to babble going on about the things she had seen on the broadcast upset again. Coco shook her head "I already said goodbye to Flax days ago after our art group and Calie wasn't with me at the festival so iii I hope they are safe..." Coco desperately hoped the few she cared about would be alright. Coco sighed as she noticed Kingston looking around for his own friends, she looked away ignoring his compliment of her name and said softly "You can go find your own friends I'll be ok.."

Coco looked up at Vanna and said "Hi" softly Coco was still holding her knees, she didn't really understand what Vanna was suggesting they were safe here in the academy weren't they?? The teachers were here and Miss Ava, the monsters weren't going to get in right? If they were monsters and not just angry maybe this would all blow over and they were all being silly?? A number of thoughts ran through Coco's head. "Umm I guess so.." Coco said very softly, she didn't like crowds which was why she had chosen this spot in the first place, she was really shy with new people, now what was she suppose to do..

Howl watched the Salamander. The grimm let her mind wonder to what it was thinking behind those beady eyes. Maybe it was solving world hunger or something... She tilted her head and returned the stare more curious then anything else.

Her ears gave a twitch picky up the voice of her friend Ashi from not to far away. He would probably make his way over unless whoever he was talking to caught his attention long enough. When the mutant made room for herself and the fallen she let her eyes drift over and gave the fallen a shrug, moving to sit down with the geist.

Address both the Giest and the Fallen. "Name's Howl, by the way." Howl gave a nod and waited for the other two to introduce themselves. And afterwards she directed a question to both.

"I wish I could say if the government was involved that this couldn't have happened... But, power of any kind is alluring. Sounds like those that funded the program have a corrupt ideal." She knew it might be a wild accusation but after all that time she spent with Turnip investigating haunted houses and not to mention the research there were some questionable things going on a long time ago... Maybe things haven't changed that much? And as bad as it was, that idea excited her a little bit maybe they would get to solve the mystery.
