Welcome to Gaia! ::

Savage turned her attention to Israfel and cocked her head to the side. An amused smile rested on her lips. Oh, she really must have scared the class if they were worried about having to wear human world clothing.

"No no no , Your all safe. This isn't the point of this class," Savage slid off of Pipins desk and folded her arms behind her back. She paced back and forth for a minute seemingly talking to her self about this or that. It looked like she was actually having an argument with her self. Then she turned back to the class, all toothy smiles and what not.

"GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! I just remembered what I was talking about. Hospitals. Yes hospitals." What ever faith any of the students might have had in their professor could have been shattered in that instance. With some of the students maybe. Savage didn't care though she was talking and thats all that mattered.

"Hospitals. Humans go when there when they get a cold or are even dying. Because of this, a hospital can have a history. The older the hospital the more bloody the history. Think of all those sick and dying humans? Its a breeding ground of fear that festers through the halls and the walls and the air. A newer hospital is a more comfortable setting. But back in the day humans weren't always as," She coughed into her hand, "Civil? I suppose I can use civil. But back in the ages of human history they were a lot more gruesome and a lot more fear causing I suppose I can say that," Savage took a moment to pause.

"Any way the older the hospital, props if its closed down for a horrific event, the more of a 'safe haven' it is for our kind. Heck, some times, depending on the history, there are some ghost families who will fight over haunting rights there! The more popular and more fights there are over these haunting grounds usually means there's more Fear thriving. And when there's Fear thriving...," Savage pulls down another chart.



"There is usually a portal hiding some where back to our world that only WE Halloween creatures can cross. Some times humans find these and describe them as a very portal into hell. Some times they're right and some times they are completely off because it is a portal back to Halloween, children." Savage crosses her arms and grins.

"Don't think that this phenomenon is just limited to old hospitals either! Even HOUSES where maybe a murder or two took place can be ripe with fear. Usually the older the house the more ripe the building is with a portal! The problem with haunted houses though is that they aren't always as easy to pick out from a normal house because there are so many houses. You'll need to look for the signs when it comes to a hunted house. An abandoned house doesn't always mean a portal will be there. You may have to trust your senses to pick up on what feels like home."

Savage takes a seat back in her throne and takes a breath.

"This means you'll really really need as much training as this school can offer you. One jack up and you could die out there." A small grin pops on her face. "But do not worry to much. Graveyards are great places to find portals and a little more readily there if you really need them. Dark alley ways in big cities at times can also provide portals. If you can master what fear is then you'll just know where to find a portal."

The professor yawns seemingly bored of all this portal talk and what not. She turns back to the siren and points.

"Let me just point out that everyone in this class room is actually wearing clothing. Human fashion may cut some extremes that we wouldn't want to wear our selves but a lot of our worlds clothing isn't so far off from what they wear." She scratches her chin, "I actually have seen humans that would fit better in our own world then their own with what they wear." Savage was starting to get off topic again.

"And now getting back to BOATS you don't want to miss taking notes on BOATS now do you? The most important part about a boat is if it floats .... " Savage trailed off into a rant about the history of boats and named off all the important parts of what made a boat useful for a good hour.

"And once the boats off to sea thats where the real fun begins. The sinking!!! In fact funny story..." Savage goes in to detail after detail about a misadventure she once had by sinking a boat. Yup Savage was off topic.

"Did you get all that children?? Pop quiz~"

Israfel was wide eyed and enraptured with the subject. Portals? His family had used them in their far distant past, stories and legendary things. But that was just that, stories. He had no clue about any sort of portal and from what Savage was saying? he didn't want to stumble into one. Ever. The last place he wanted to be was..a Mall of all things. Ugghhh..he didn't want to imagine the outfits humans must wear. Probably nothing nice like spider silk or finely toned slimeskin boots.

No, he liked his Halloween wear. And was happy as could be with talk of hospitals. Even if he did wonder what Professor cricket might say on the subject. Had she ever been one for a haunting? Being both the school nurse and a ghost? Homes, Hospital..Jack he would need more paper at this rate, his notes becoming more and more scattered. By the time Savage handed out the quiz, Israfel had this sort of face:
@A@

He just kind of winged it.

LW was both fascinated....and terrified of what Professor savage was talking about. She glanced at her 'neighbor', Tybalt, when he asked a soft question of her and Mei. The she-wolf could only shrug. "I-I have no idea! Awful stuff." She whispered back, just as clueless as the black dog. And really tired of being covered in such glitter as they were speaking of. Eww.

As Professor Savage began talking about portals, LW sat up a little and actually paid attention. This was interesting! And she made sure to take some notes, writing small things down as Savage spoke. These hospitals had portals in them? As did some of the human houses? LW scribbled a few things down next to "Human Hospital" in her notes. A few more things were added under it as the Professor kept speaking.

However when Professor Savage started to get slightly off track, LW felt herself slumping against her chair. She shot a look at Tybalt that said 'we're so doomed'. Annnnd...she'd been right. Professor Savage was definitely in to this topic. Boats. It was always boats, wasn't it? The she-wolf tried not to slam her head against her desk in an attempt to knock herself out. She just had to endure it. All of it. In fact, it was an hour of it!

And then they were being given a pop quiz?! LW groaned. That was Professor savage for you. And, why did it not surprise her that the quiz was...well, what it was? The she-wolf blinked down at the questions and felt her mind blank. Was she supposed to know those answers? Small frown on her face, the she-wolf filled the answers in the best she could.

Portals? Now..this was an interesting topic. Enough so to have her sit upright in her seat again. Picking her pencil up again, she continued to jot down any useful notes. The more she learned of this, the more she had a sneaking suspicion that someday, soon, they would be seeing all these human horrors for themselves. Not something she would want to witness..

Lifting her head, she glanced from LW to Tybalt before looking back to Savage who began to stray off topic onto painfully long one sided conversation on boats. Slumping in her chair again, she rolled her pencil back and forth on the table in boredom, counting the minutes until they got back on track. It lasted about and hour---it felt longer---until she brought up a pop quiz.

A low groan escaped as she sat up again, rubbing at her temples as if to massage away any headache.

All this lecture about portals, hospitals, boats, humans! So overwhelming! Zeke can barely keep up taking notes AND listening to her. Mostly likely because he's trying to let the information sink in. However all these rhetorical questions she keeps throwing out just makes Zeke fall more and more behind. Too much thinking on his end... Most importantly, WHO IS THIS WOMAN?! He can't even hear himself think.

Eventually, Zeke just gave up and stared at the professor.

Pop quiz. Zeke felt a wrenching in his gut. He slowly slouched into his desk as she passed out the paper. What IS this? Why am I even 'ere? Zeke sighed and glanced over the quiz before taking it. .....What?

Malodore listened to Professor Savage's every word, practically drooling at the description of these 'hospitals'. So beautiful, so wonderous, these places of mingled medicine and FEAR... they sounded amazing. So completely amazing, and so much better than wherever they'd found themselves in the Human World before...

Yes. It definitely wanted to visit the Human World, if only to visit a place like that...

... Then Savage stopped talking about hospitals. Malodore listened desperately, hoping she'd return to the subject, but her words blurred into a mass of things very much not about Science or Medicine and then... then there was a quiz.

And it wasn't about hospitals.

Malodore sighed, mourning in its heart for the beautiful lecture and quiz that could have been, and filled out the quiz as best it could.

Sighing in relief that he didn't have to do anything that involved glitter as that was scary stuff. Ever so intently listening to every word the professor was saying as to him some of this information was new to him and he also took down good notes as Adyian didn't want to miss out on any information that he could look at later on.

But he did have to wonder why the professor kept on getting off topic, but he didn't mind much as learning about boats was new to him as well. He was very happy to be learning all of this new information as his tail wagged behind him in his excitement.

Cocking his head sideways when he heard about a pop quiz as he didn't know why they would be doing one, but oh well as he filled it out as the questions were strange at that and nothing on what was talked about.

Professor Savage had been rattling off and Edel was scribbling down notes at godspeed just to keep up. Hospitals – or more importantly, there were portals in the Human World which lead to Halloween! Edel tapped her pencil thoughtfully before sketching out a portal which Savage had just shown them on her chart. So......if we ever go to the Human World, we'll need portals to get back? she pondered as she made a list of the possible locations for these portals Professor Savage spoke of.

Where to find portals:
Hospitals ( especially run-down, abandoned ones )
Haunted Houses
Graveyards **
Dark Alleys

Human fashion and BOATS. Edel struggled to find a link between those two topics with the previous, but continued to jot down notes anyway (boats were interesting after all). Before she could add the last annotations to her notes, another piece of paper had unfurled in front of her to reveal a pop quiz.

A pop quiz?! But I've barely learnt anything yet... The frost demon was worried that her lack of prior education on the subject would fail her, but that was before she took a look at the questions.



....Well. She didn't know the answer for the third question, but the rest of them had been attempted to the best of her ability.
