[Lizzy, Mot, Charlie, Tahki, Tess, Petro! No posting order, post away! 8D]
Two nights before they were scheduled to leave the school for their vacation, Lizzy had sent out a text reminder to everyone who she knew had expressed interest in staying over at her place. It was a simple message, telling them to meet 2 days later, 5 minutes before midnight, at the end of Platform 13, where their cabins were located. She was pretty excited about it, and she knew that her mother was too, so she wanted everything to be perfect.
Thus, 5 minutes before midnight, she was standing on the platform, two rather bulky suitcases by each side, a huge grin on her face.
The train doors were already open, and the two cabins, 167 and 168, were registered under the name of a certain "Elizabeth Baines". The cabin doors were open, so anyone who walked past the train's corridor would be able to look inside; thankfully, since it was at the end of the train, there was only Lizzy.
Waiting.

Mot had procrastinated a bit, only packing his things a short while before he was set to leave. He didn't need much to begin with, and only packed a small duffel bag with a change of clothes and some bare essentials. He locked up his room, and walked slowly down the empty halls of the reaper dorms.
Mot made a stop to a late night convenience store to grab some snacks. He bought enough to share with others, stuffing them into the bag and heading to the station.
He saw Lizzy right away, waving and giving a grin to the ghoul. "Good Evening, Lizzy~."

"MOT! Evening!" Her smile grew the moment her eyes landed on the reaper, his greeting was met with an affectionate hug from her as she briefly abandoned her suitcases by the side of the track. Taking a step back from him, she eyed his bag, pointing at it before tilting her head, "Is that all you're bringing along?" She sounded slightly baffled; while she had to travel light before, it was for a school field trip!
"Either way, yayyy! You're the first one to arrive!" She giggled, walking back to where her suitcases were and sitting on one of them, "There's still time though~"

((awkward two-character-posting is go!))
Petro would have been ready to leave the instant Lizzy extended the invitation to him. He didn't have much in the small pack slung over his shoulder, just the new formal-garb and his spare bahag. His starsier, Roderick, was resting sleepily on his other shoulder, the pink creature's wings folded protectively around it. Spotting Lizzy and Mot, the tikbalang headed over to them with a grin and a hearty laugh, "Was hoping I'd be here first, y' beat me to it!"
--------------------------------
Meanwhile, several steps behind the tikbalang, Tess was nervously looking over her shoulder. No skittering appendage, no unwanted stalker, looks like Esme and her parents bought her story hook, line, and sinker. She gave a relieved sigh and hurried towards the others present, suddenly feeling very awkward at the sight of the half-dressed horse boil. "U-um, hello," she greeted softly as she lowered to the ground a suitcase that looked far too large for her to be able to carry all by herself.

Of course, Mot accepted the hug with one of his own. Once released, he shifted the bag on his should with a shrug. "I don't need much else, do I?" Clothes, bathroom stuff... that was it, right? It wasn't as if Mot cared to wear much variety in attire.
"That's good. It's still early, right? I just wanted to be on time." It was not as if he had better things to do near midnight hour.
Mot looked over to find Tro and Tess on their way, the ghoul seeming to have some trouble with her things. "Howdy!" He greeted with a wave. He stared down at the luggage the ghoul had set down, raising an unseen brow. "Did you pack the kitchen sink too?" he asked teasingly.

"I suppose!" She giggled; well, that would be a good excuse to bring Mot shopping! To expand his wardrobe! Besides, she vaguely remembered him saying something about not minding shopping, despite being a boil... She'll just have to ask him later.
"It is! The train won't leave till after midnight, even though it's called the midnight train~" She nodded with a grin before looking up at the two approaching students. Getting up from the suitcase, she moved towards them; Petro would receive a quick hug from her, while Tess would receive a longer, more affectionate hug as she took her hands, giving them a squeeze before letting go of them with a small smile; she felt bad about keeping the 'Mac issue' from her good friend, but it seemed like the better option.
"Glad to see you both!" She nodded, "Now we just have to wait for Tahki and Charlie! You can put your things in the cabins first though... Room 167 for the boils, and room 168 for the ghouls!" She gestured briefly at the open train doors; she would have to carry her own suitcases in later!

The monster horse returned the hug to the extent that Lizzy would allow then promptly gave Mot a hearty clap on the back. "Y' ever meet my pet d**k over here?" he asked, gesturing over to the small, winged, pink creature snoozing on his shoulder. "Uh, 's it okay to bring him along, Lizzy?" he asked, realizing the spider demoness might not want his minipet on the train. When he heard the pink-haired ghoul mentioned bringing the luggage in, he canted his head to Mot, "I bring Lizzy's bag onboard, y' bring Tess'?"
-------------------------
"I'm cautious," she pouted at Mot and his joke about her luggage, eyes darting to the side then adding, "And Esme overpacked." A smile appeared on her lips when Lizzy hugged her and she returned with an equally warm squeeze. After the hug, Tess seemed surprised, "Just Tahki and Charlie? Thought Mac and that other ghoul would be joining us." She tilted her head in thought before looking equally startled to hear the tikbalang mention her name. "Oh! N-no, that's alright, I can carry this," she insisted, hefting the bag up to demonstrate that she could.

Mot stumbled slightly at the firm clap on the back from Petro, staring up with an unseen look of horror, before he realized he was talking about a minipet. "No." He answered, not having met his... minipet d**k.
"But of course." Yes, he would gladly take Tess's baggage. He watched as the ghoul tried to affirm she was capable of doing it on her own, but took the luggage from her regardless. "I'm sure you are plenty able. I just won't allow you to do it yourself while I'm here."
"I'll take this to your room." Mot smiled slyly, before disappearing into the train.

"Just Tahki and Charlie," She confirmed with a grin, "Mac's going home, I believe-" And she highly doubt that the reaper would want to enter a demon's house anyway, "And... Other ghoul? Which other ghoul?" She blinked, frowning a little; it could easily be Levi or Xiu or Riley, seeing how those ghouls were at prom with them, around the same table.
"Oh, just let the boils do it for you, since they insist on being gentlemen!" She giggled at Tess before tilting her head, looking up at Petro; the irony of a boil having a pet named 'd**k' did not register, and after everything that happened during the festival, it might be a good thing, or she might be reminded of something... Awkward and mildly terrifying. She nodded, smiling, "It's fine! As long as they don't go around... Destroying the house, mother doesn't mind minipets."
Pausing, she then giggled again, "Thanks Petro, Mot~"
Taking Tess' hand, she then led her to the open door of the train before looking around, scanning the platform. She frowned, looking rather worried as she eyed the clock hanging above the platform before musing out loud, "Hm... Charlie and Tahki should be here by now..."

The two had been late mostly because of Tahki. Charlie had been ready to go for ages but had to help the gryphoness with her bags. Tahki, coming from an upper class family and being a bit spoiled, packed a LOT of stuff. At least three huge suitcases worth of stuff. Most of her baggage were video games of all things.
Video games. And books. As far as clothing went, Tahki was pretty much a boy in some respects not owning to many nice things. Cept when it came to her kigirumi collection. That, she had the decency to leave behind.
Shyly the gryphon made her way toward Lizzy.
"W-were here... Thank you so much Lizzy for letting us stay with you." Tahki only held one of the three bags in her hand.
------------------------
Mean while, Charlie lagged behind. He had two of Tahkis bags plus his own small bag. He'd agreed to come over to help Tahki pack but the demon had no idea she wanted to pack -so- much. In fact the demon had never seen so much what he would consider junk. Video games? Not that Charlie hated video games but the demon didn't have the pleasure of playing them all the time. From time to time he'd play at a friends house but Charlie much preferred going out and finding his own entertainment.
"Lizzy.." He huffed, "Where do I put these?"
He had insisted on carrying most of Tahkis bags though, him self.

Mot found the ghoul's cabin and carefully set down Tess's luggage on to one of the beds. With that done, he huffed a bit, and moved onward to set his own bag into the boil's room before heading back to to wait with Lizzy.
But when he stepped out of the train, a certain pink haired demon with who he assume to be Tahki was now there. "Well Howdy there, Charlie~." Mot said in an overly friendly manner which did not suit his devilish grin.
He eyed the bags the boil had, smirking. He assumed from the looks of the luggage that it was Tahki's since she seemed to have a case similar to the two Charlie had, but he just had to bother the little one. "Geeze Pipsqueak. You pack like a ghoul~." He then ignored the demon alltogether to approach Tahki, holding out his hand. "Let me help you with that, m'lady~. It looks much too heavy for you."

Charlies brows lowered in to an angry arch and his teeth clenched together. Oh no, it was that guy. He growled at the cowboil for calling him pip squeak and flailed his arms sending Tahkis things flying.
"IM NOT A PIPSQUEAK! YOUR FACE IS STUPID! AND IM HELPING TAHKI!" It was a long string of shouts. Charlie had to take a moment to catch his breath. Only after did he realize that he'd just flung all of Tahkis things all around. The demon bit his lip and went about gathering the flinged stuff.
----------------------------
Tahki on the other hand wasn't sure what to make of all this. The cowboil seemed nice. She didn't understand Charlies reaction, then again, she didnt understand Charlie fully.
She had a more pleasant reaction with a small smile of her own.
"Ohh.. umm .. Its okay.. Uhh if you want to take one of the two from Charlie I think hes struggling.."
------------------------
Charlie growled at the idea and clung to the bags tighter.

Oh, he was yelling. And throwing things. Mot simply smiled at his antics, then went back to ignoring him.
Such a mature boil.
Mot smiled, took Tahki's luggage, and left for the train again, leaving Charlie to deal with the other bags he was in charge of. No use fighting him over them. "I'll put them in the ghoul's room for you." He called out as he left. "The train might be leaving soon. Hurry up, pipsqueak~."

Tahki simply followed after Mot with no question and allowed him to carry her things. She didn't feel to right about it though. Why did boils like to carry things for ghouls. Still, all the same, she allowed him.
"T-thank you so much." She gave him a smile when they reached the room, "M-my names Tahki by the way."
---------------
"TAHKI NOOOOOOO DONT TELL THAT STRANGER YOUR NAME!" Behind the two the demons face had dropped into a look of horror. Pure horror. Tahki had told Mot her name and now she could very well be his next van victim.
--------------
"... Uhhh.. Ummm... Ignore him.." Tahkis eyes fell to her feet. Embarrassed.

Mot smiled down at the ghoul as she introduced herself. "I'm Mot. It's a pleasure to meet you." He gave the ghoul's hand a shake before regarding the overactive Charlie. "I usually do." Mot replied to Tahki's advice, grinning evilly at Charlie all the while.
He set down Tahki's luggage in the room, then slipped his thumbs into his belt loops.
"I just can't wait to spend my break with you all. Especially you... Charlie. Heh heh."
