Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh. So that was what distracted Christof.

Johan drew even with the group just in time to receive Christof's salute, and watch him approach the extremely scantily-clad succubus to offer his scarf. In return, the undead received a damp present, and a kiss which seemed to put him out of commission, judging by how red the hunchback turned.

Trying not to stare at the succubus himself, Johan pointedly turned away from her, and approached the ghouls he'd met on the train. However, the sight of a friendly, joyful looking tree approaching the violin boil from the train (there he was!).

"Vhat is that? Are those vhat ve are fighting?" he asked, incredulously. Though looking around revealed a number of similar tree bodies littering the floor.

((Will be AFK for about 9 hours for work))

Being without opposable thumbs Danny dug a hole which counted as his TENT.

As morning came Jamais unzipped her tent and sat inside looking out, before she started digging in her own pack for something to nibble on. She'd wait for Basil to wake before starting again. It was at least the polite thing to do and safer.

Her tail flicked as she found a snack cake pack. Pulling out one to nibble on and stuffing the other for safe keeping. At least she'd kept her other pack near by before the train crashed. She sighed as she curled her wings up behind her, it was freezing and she wasn't about to sit in the snow.

When she finished however, she wiggled her way out of the tent and packed it back up walking around the area of the camp. It couldn't be THAT dangerous could it? Even with drunk trees.

Gabrian watched the tree he'd just battled fall over, limp, either dead or asleep. After a brief moment, the large serpent slithered forward, grabbed his reward and stashed it, and the Sack of joy back into the bag he'd been dragging. That done, he arched up and took a quick look at himself, noticing that he was miraculously unharmed after that fight, which was more than he could say for some of his group companions.

Once he realized he'd been lucky enough to come out of the fray without a single scratch, the serpent smirked down at the tree. Then, he took a peek around, and he was sure (or rather, hoped) the others weren't paying attention to him, slipped his tongue out, sticking it out at the fallen tree before sniffing loudly with his nose in the air, "Serves you right," he hissed and then slithered away.

He was with Winston on this one; he really didn't want to stop moving. He wanted to get out of the damned forest as soon as demonly possible, "I think you're right," he hissed as he began to slither by the dog, taking a pause to narrow his eyes at the trees that loomed around them.

The she-wolf took a step back in surprise as she watched the gryphon change forms. Wow. He was a little bigger than she was. Well, most things were bigger than she was in this form. Except for Kilo it seemed. The little red wolf sat in the snow and glanced between all of them before looking down at...

"Whatcha wearin?" Her eyes flashed with amusement as she looked at the lights tangled around the cat as well as the really big (on him at least) cape. A giggle, of course. "So you are a dead-cat-thing." The she-wolf pawed at the cape once and looked up at the two other boils. Looked like she and the kitty cat were the smallest here.

Ears perked up as yet another happy tree took on a student. What was with these trees anyways? And...oh Jack! She knew what that tingling feeling she felt meant. Another shift was coming soon. This was going to get annoying. She looked down at Kilo and then up at Vaith and Ren and out towards the other students.

Not wanting to impose herself on them, the she-wolf decided to try out some of those manners she had learned. "Mind if I stick around with you guys?"

((Gonna be AFK until this evening. Lu is graduating today!!))

"Name's Winston. Not dog." Dog made him sound like a pet or companion, much like the breed native to Halloween seemed to be. He was anything but a pet. When she handed over the tent he folded it haphazardly with his front paws, eventually getting it into his own bag when he removed the bell. He'd have to carry that it seemed. His own pilled were tucked at the bottom of his back, he was sure he could dig them out, should he honestly need them. The tennis ball he'd brought along had been lost to the train crash, and had he lips, he probably would have been frowning at the reminder.

"Alright, onward," he started up again, padding along beside the serpent. It seemed he would be along with his tiny group as well. "I didn't catch your names," he hinted. Perhaps they would catch his meaning. It was rather rude to travel with people without at least knowing what names to call out should he need to. 'Snake boy, look out for that tree' didn't really sound polite at all.

Sarias smiled to herself, she liked those with a backbone, especially those that stood up to her. "Winston huh? Well Winston I am Sarias, Sarias Blacksling, although formalities aside you may call me Sai." [OOC - pronounced Sa-eye]
Following him she realised that a group was forming around them, the Serpent that moved through the snow leaving trails in its wake and others she had yet to be introduced to.
"If we get a move on we should break free of the forest soon enough, as long as we don't have any more un-welcomed guests." At this a slight nod was aimed at Sin, detectable only if the Demon was watching, her eyes like slits as she grimaced. "A wonderful thing being a ghost, the chill, it doesn't seem to make me want to undress like the others...silly things, do they not realise they can catch their deaths out here?"

Sweet Jack was that ghost trying to provoke her? She was wasn't she? Sin had to take a deep breath and turn away, she couldn't waste her time on some jealous ghoul. Instead she focused on her friends and smiled when Alcie said she was alright. She softly touched the other demons arm and looked at the scratches. "We can put some lotion or something on it when we get back to the dorms." Except who knew when they would get back, they had tents and meager supplies which sort of painted a picture of a long hard battle ahead. Still she wasn't about to say that and dampen everyones spirits.

Then Alcie produced a present and handed it to her, this one wasn't all covered in sap and tinsel bits. She smiled and gave Alcie a soft hug "Thanks Alcie, you're the best." She paused to place the present with the tent and pack it all onto her back. Then she rolled her shoulders and glanced out at the snowy forest ahead, it looked like a long walk.

She turned when she saw Gabrian in the snow and nodded at Alcie's suggestion. "He's pretty big, but maybe if we work together...Gabrian you can sort of...squeeze on right?" She looked at Alcie. "If we draped him over both our shoulders it might be easier, we just have to walk a bit more in unison."
