Gale's icy fingers closed around the seed, feeling the small, metallic object in the palm of his hand. It was a strange form of currency, he supposed, but then again everything here was strange. Which, in turn, made the fact that their money was pumpkin seeds...not so strange.
"Yeah," he answered Aria as he tucked the seed into his pocket. He listened to her carefully, nodding to the instructions she gave him. "Thanks."
Then, with one last glance at Bix and Tika, Gale made a halfway sort of Feel free to join me if you want gesture before making his way into the festival.

Ennéa accepted the seed and nodded and sighed with a resigned air at the cover story Aria gave her. "Okay."
Someone was addressing her. Ennéa looked up and then up some more at the skeleton. "Maddie??" she tried not to giggle but wound up snorting a little. "Sorry, I didn't recognize you." She paused. "Though I suppose that's the point of all this."
Then Robert started talking and Ennéa finally realized who the short gnome was. "Whoa!" she marveled at the undead gnome. "Your disguise is really good too, Robert!"
"Sure, I'll go with you guys to the festival. It'd be more fun that way!" Ennéa beamed, her missing hand totally forgotten. "Let's go fishing~ Let's go fishing~ And get a lot of fish!" she sang merrily.

Oh hell. She'd.... yeah. She'd forgotten about that. Ummmm.....
...
....
Cass forced a smile despite the look she was getting..and the fact that Nicodemus was making a sound in her head that sounded like if he was able to, he would have stabbed her in the stomach. Repeatedly. Remorselessly. It.... was a bit unnerving.
"Three...? I..... I'll manage it, Miss-Ma'am-Aria..." she mumbled, shaken a bit. Cass didn't really want to see what would happen if she failed. But now she had to figure out how to manage such a wide task. Would she be better off to seduce people to try and get something??
It was..
....
.....
a possibility. She frowned a bit and stepped back to allow others to get their own funding from the Mist Hunter. Cass found herself mentally panicking over her sudden plight. Would it last long?
Possibly not.
However, Cass seemed mildly fascinated by the explanation of the mechanics of how the world of monsters got their currency, looking at the seed in her hand, flipping it over once or twice and 'Hmmmm'ing a bit.
This was...
....
"Freaky" she mumbled, clenching her hand around the.. 'Florescetival' seed in her possession before looking up to the hullabaloo that was going on and taking a deep breath.
She..
...
.....
wasn't sure what to do first. SO MUCH TO DO. And so little to work with. Hmmmm. She scratched the side of her head and 'Hmmm'ed a bit.

As she was squirt right in the face she spluttered and wiped at her face. It wasn't a lot of water but it was a surprise to her! Stupid fish thing! Her ears flicked with unhappiness, a feeling that just intensified her displeasure over being a friggin' HORSE. She watched as Aria grabbed one of the fish, the more lovely of the two, and held it in the air.
It exploded like a monster in an episode of Sailor Moon. Candace's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, making an impressed little noise. Whoooooa! She wanted to try that! She had to get one of those cool floresces! The other one didn't puff up in the air? Disappointment!
"So it doesn't have to be Mr. Fish. Got it." She poked at the fish bowl and stared down at the ugly orange fish. It looked so pathetic just floating there in its little bowl. She kind of wanted to put it out of its misery. Candace would just have to treat the minipet with the utmost care until it could be passed on to Dr. H, she couldn't give enough shits about what happened to the thing after that; it only mattered if it helped further research.
Candace made a face at Aria's recommendation on when to start touching themselves, looking absolutely disgusted by it. Seriously? How old were we here? She cast a look at the others to see if any had taken her up on the offer, noticing Jerry was...squeezing his breasts. She slapped the heel of her hand against her forehead and sighed. Jerry. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry. So special. She turned back to Aria while trying to erase the vision from her memory. "I'll take a seed. If I run out I'll figure something out..." She already had a few ideas cooking in her head.
The light clip clop of her hooves had her frowning again. You'll get used to it.
No, I won't.

Her chest was the first thing she checked, and indeed, she was still definitely a she. Then she took in the rest of herself and was pleased to note that she was pleasantly normal. Because turning into a giantess and stomping on others was only fun until someone's bone splintered and went through your foot. Being on the opposite end of said stomping was pretty unpleasant as well, not to mention that being small while in Halloween sucked. The way these creatures treated gnomes...
Well it reminded her of how she was treated everyday by her mad b*****d genius creepy b*****d of a boss. She knew he enjoyed slicing her throat for a completely unnecessary example. She knew he especially enjoyed telling her about it beforehand so she would have just enough time to agonize over it but not enough to think of a way out of it. She admired the doctor for a lot of things, but really she had to get away from him for a bit so she didn't murder him in his sleep. Repeatedly. Or drug his plums and feed him to one of the Island's test subjects.
Clarice bit her lip and tried to clear her mind of the injustices of both her world and this one. She was here to take her mind off such things, and the only thing more entertaining than watching a trainee's first H-type mission was watching them slaughter each other and then cry over it in the first Test. Mouth sliding into a small smile she continued her inspection, ignoring the trainees until she felt she felt confident identifying her current vessel.
There were stitches, so possibly a cleaned up zombie or undead patchwork. She lacked any real cravings, but couldn't rule out zombie on the basis of what she felt was a terrible stereotype against a race already beaten down by this world's cruel sets of prejudices. Sniffing discreetly she was relieved to find that she didn't smell too dead. Gingerly lifting her hands to feel about, Clarice carefully checked to see if any brainy bits were exposed or falling out this time. Her eyes narrowed a bit as her hands went higher...and higher...and oh...oh Arthur...
She had Marge Simpson hair.
It could be worse of course, she could be a gnome. But still...Bride of Frankenstein? If she had to be a walking cliche couldn't have Dr. H arranged for a few more modern ones? Face firmly settled in an I'm not pouting-sulk (just once, once in her life she'd like to get the hot succubus) Clarice eyed the trainees. And then smiled. Or smirked rather. Before schooling her expression into one of gentle sympathy for the small gnome sulking nearby. Oh...it must be so sad being them.
When you're Dr. H's assistant, your main source of comfort is knowing that no matter how much you may be suffering, the b*****d is likely making some poor trainee suffer more.
(Clarice, 5'3" or 6'0" with hair)

[I'm tired, so. This is all you get.]
She opened her eyes, her vision hazy and her head spinning; all she remembered was a lecture from their superior, and then a sharp pain at the back of her head before she passed out and then... And then... Then what?
"s**t..." She muttered, bringing her clawed hand-
... Clawed hand.
Wait, no need to panic. Golems. Yes, golems.
Frowning, she started to examine her arms, small spikes growing out the side. Small, green spikes; the claws on her hands were green too, and her body... Her body... Well, at least she's still a she, even if her body had green things poking out of it. And are those small wings out her back? Her frown deepened, and she tried to move them; they moved, although it was a rather odd sensation to feel them move... It wasn't bad. The tail now attached to her tailbone twitched, and she had to resist grabbing it to stop its unnecessary, uncontrollable movements.
<Whoa, nice tits. Not that your own were bad, but oh baby.>
"Oh you're so predictable, Kintama," She sighed, reaching for the necklace only to realize that it was not there... So, the weapons didn't physically come with them? Ugh, as if they don't talk enough already! She paused before carefully, running her hand through her hair (which was long and black with a hint of green at the tips), not wishing to injure herself with her new pointy bits, "So, mind giving me a little more info?"
<Only if you rub me against your new ti->
"Spit it out already."
<A nergal judging by how you look... The green appendages and all.>
"What the sh- jack is a nergal?" She had to swear like one of them. Speak like one of them. Think like one of them... But first? She had to know more about her new body before doing anything else. Ugh, which was Jeremy? Or Before? Or Bix, Gale and Judy? It was impossible to tell, and the huge frown on her face reflected how she felt as she stared at her own hands.
<A demon. Most of them are parasites. They take a body, like a hot smoking female body, and use it for their own purposes. Hehe, oh baby~ Though there are the 'pure' ones. Don't know much about them except that they are rare.>
... Eh, could be worse. She could be a short dude who had died and was now undead. Or a walking horror movie cliche. Oh, the horror.
She listened to the chatter around her before approaching Aria, giving her a nod as she extended out her hand with a small grin, "Right... A seed please?" Time to go check out the enemy.
[Female, average height but built small and demon.]

"The more variation of minipets we have, the better," Aria told Candace, eying her suspiciously. The kelpie-golem's poke at the sad little fish's bowl made the fish continue to stare in one place and stare blankly. Then it sank. And continued to stare as fish are apt to do when trapped in a small little bowl.
She passed Candace a seed before hopping back and taking a seat on the coffin-makeup booth. She idly began to drum her black heels against it as she waited for more beggars.

It was like blinking his eyes again but only a little more painfully but no more painful than perhaps getting an immunization shot from a doctor. There was something disorienting about 'falling asleep' and then waking back up in a prior location surrounded by others and everyone looked like...
A feeling of tenseness filled the young man before he listened again and started to recall why they were there in the first place - he relaxed a bit and a soft voice hissed out a light laughter in response to his reaction.
'Yom'sss Jude is now a puppy~. A cute little puppy,' she cooed happily.
Her voice made Jude look down at himself and found out that he looked a bit furry here and there and a moment of turning in place he managed to catch sight of an odd tail curling up toward his back. The young man looked down at his hands and found they were mildly canine as well. Jude could only imagine what the rest of him looked like. He muttered something under his breath as his arms crossed over his chest as if to cover his shame.
'At leassst Jude ssstill gets to be a man,' Yom said with cheerful mockery and he knew why.
Jude rolled his eyes and listened to explanations as they were given out and once everyone started moving and milling about he also moved a hand reaching out as he uttered simply, "A seed, please."
He would get one of these ... things and bring it back. Play a stupid game at one of the stupid booths. Then be back. Seemed simple enough.
'Been a while sssince I ssseen fessstival!' Yom said happily sounding actually excited.

Bix got himself off of Tika's shoulders in a sliding/falling motion when their other instructor showed up. He had to say, he thought the black and gold get ups looked awesome, but he wished they looked like monsters too. He'd feel less judged by them constantly. When a mirror was brought onto the scene he practically rushed to it. His hair was long and white, not so different than his own, and wrapped up elaborately with flowers. The dress was flowy, blue and yellow, and very traditionally chinese. As a boy he could not really appreciate the differences because he just thought it looked like a fancy japanese kimono. His face was fairly humanoid but he was covered in a white fur. He was very distinctly a female yeti now that he could see himself. And his eyes? He couldn't help but imitating all those asian girls he saw in anime, "Kawaaaaiiii!" YOU ARE CHINESE NOT JAPANESE. Really. Unbearably ignorant. Bix enjoyed the few and far between moments where he could annoy his own weapon. He picked up some lipstick and touched up what seemed to come already on the golem. He was one of the few who seemed that they would even be interested in makeup. You seem really into this snowflake.. OOOooo floresce!When it was brought out the voice in his head purred in delight. Apparently she liked them? They are delicious but rather pointless as pets. They just sort of sit there and look stupid.Why are you eating things that are supposed to be pets?There was distinct boredom in her voice. Pets.. food.. science experiements.. fodder of all kinds. Minipets are useful things. Remember that the morals here are not like where you are from.Bix nodded but he could tell Mina was disappointed that he kept forgetting that. Was she worried he could give himself away? He was a bit of a buffoon, admittedly. When others were exchanging information about their weapons he suddenly realized that it had not dawned on him once to ask Mina what she had been in her past life. Quetzlcoatl. The word rolled impressively off of her tongue. Bix couldn't pronounce it like that! Regal, kingly even.. Feathered serpent..Hey I know what it is.. I went to school you know and I happen to like mythology..She tutted him into silence while their mission was explained. The others asked enough relevant questions that he got the gist. When it was all said and done he walked up to Aria and began to play his character. His voice shifted to a soft dainty whisper and he batted his blue eyes at her. "Hello.. I'm Cho.. may I have a seed please?" He even jingled the small embroidered purse that had been tucked into his sash. (( sn: iloveyouDIE ))

Caitlyn stared, wide-eyed, at the forms of her companions. Well, things could honestly have been much, much worse for her, so that was one thing to keep in mind. The gnome in particular...
Bijal’s laughter echoed Aria’s. Ahahahaha, give him a kick! Come on, do it for me!
Caitlyn frowned and hopped towards Aria. ”Excuse me, may I have some money?” She wiggled the fingers on her outstretched arm. Pumpkin seeds. Their currency was pumpkin seeds. Was this place all a big joke? Caitlyn thought about the monsters that had attacked them and shuddered. No joke.
Alright! Let’s do this! Bijal’s enthusiasm was infectious and Caitlyn’s undead face cracked a slight smile. They were headed to a festival, and festivals were fun!

"Alright, Got it." So bring back any of them. That's fine! It made it easier really, since rare seemed too difficult to get in the end. 'She' went to rub her chin on instinct, only to catch her face with her claws. "Awwwwww god ********, j-jack...damnit...?" The intensity of the curse was lost in the whole frantic grab for the correct phrasing. Note to self: try to avoid swearing.
While she was on her way to Aria, she was stopped by a familiar voice - two of them, actually. But one meant more to her than the other, and she headed right on over.
"You look like a freak." He commented helpfully, a grin on her tired looking face. Elsie was still in the process of pondering what the golem was, but to be honest he didn't mind the silence; that weapon of his could be tongue tied all day and he'd be happy, so long as he could still use her. Well, he couldn't use her here, but back home yes. "Glad your body finally matches your personality." He quipped in the same helpful, optimistic tone and grin.
Then he felt the need to look over where he heard Jude's voice. That had to have been Theven, there was no way that could be anyone else! The 'female demon' turned her grin to him next. "Awwww lookit the puppy, so cute!"
"And hey, any idea what I am? Elsie's less than helpful." The question was of course turned to Ariane or Theven, but he didn't seem too upset about not having his question answered by his weapon!

Aria looked the nergalass up and down before nodding. "Be careful with your spikes," she advised unhelpfully. It was the extent of her helpfulness when it came to having wings and a tail; not to mention it was pretty obvious to be careful of one's own spikes.
As Jude stepped up to her, Aria contemplated making him sit and beg for the seed. He was already doing the latter though, prompting her to resist her urge and hand over the seed anyway. She had no advice for him.
Bix so far was the only one to use the makeup counter at all. She didn't know who it was within the golem, but the introduction was enough to earn not one but two seeds. "I'm pleased to see that someone is taking this seriously," she complimented. "Keeping your voice at a whisper will hide your true gender, though you'll be in trouble if someone asks you to speak up."
As Caitlyn approached, Aria nodded and gave her a seed. "You're good to go."

"Thank you, I'll have to keep that in mind," She nodded at Aria as she pocketed the seed, tucking it into the pocket of her pants; part of her wanted to make a snarly remark on how it would be impossible not to be careful when she was spiky all over like some mutant cactus; come on, she was even the right color in some places.
Ew.
"... Oh Germ, let me give you a hug, you silver tongued Germ you," She gushed before wrapping her (spiky) arms around him, making sure to give him a squeeze before releasing him. Yes, of course it was all on purpose. She made sure not to injure him/her at least, using just enough force to maybe make a hug a painful thing, "Hmmm, I can feel your chest against mine~"
When s/he spoke to another person, she turned towards him as well; wait, she was sure she had heard that voice somewhere before. Hm... That voice, that voice-
"AH, Judy~" She grinned, pointing at him with a clawed finger. Looking him up and down, she then looked rather disappointed, "Aw, yours balls are still on the wrong part of your body, Judy~"
Turning back to look at Jeremy, she shrugged, "You look like a very, very tired... Cosplaying person. Do you at least know what... What type of a thing you are? Kintama referred to me as a demon, and I see... Zombies? Undead? Heh, straight out of a horror film."
<A demoness~ Oh ghouly, you so fine, even in your golem body~ Ah, wish I could- >
"Anyway, it might give us a hint."

Bix cracked a grin as he recieved 2 seeds. They were kind of pretty actually. Not scary or dripping in blood or goo.
"Thank you." His voice was once again sweet but he did lean in, cup his mouth and reveal himself in his normal voice. "It's Bix by the way.." He only said it because if their instructor was impressed with him in even the smallest way, than he definitely wanted her to know his name.
He pulled open the drawstring on his purse and dropped the two seeds inside. He tucked it back into his sash and followed behind Gale, who'd gotten a bit of a head start. He started a small jog but he realized his low center of gravity made him a little uncomfortable so he stuck with a walk. He lingered, just a moment, to see if the massive yeti bulk of Tika would be coming to accompany him as his 'brother'.
"I'll meet you in there brother dear.." He called gently to her and did his girl giggle once more.
Carried away much? Maaaaybe.
He did spin though when he thought he heard someone familiar. "Ariane?" He wasn't sure quite which of the golems she was at this given moment but he used his Bix voice so she could identify him as the tiny asian princess yeti.
(( I only had one seed sent to my account.. ^_^;;; iloveyouDIE thanks! ))
