Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ren had waited for Jove for almost twenty minutes before giving up and going to search for the boil. He had never known his little brother to stand him up before, which made it a little worrisome that he hadn't actually shown up. He'd tried Jove's dorm (empty), then his own dorm (also empty), before standing, hands on his hips, down on the school grounds in front of the forest. Ren had remembered Jove mentioning something about going there that morning, but he should have been back long before now - which meant either one of two things: he'd fallen asleep in a log somewhere, or something had happened.

Ren greatly preferred the first option to the latter.

With a sigh, he ran a hand through his long hair, pushing it back away from his face. Giving the forest a highly suspicious look, he warily made his way in, determined to figure out what had happened to his little brother.

Tybalt had seen the gryphon move from the ghost dorm and back to the monster dorm before coming to stop in front of the forest. He looked bothered... More so than usual. Which normally wouldn't have made the black dog care, but the fact that he came to the ghost dorms and came out looking as worried as he did now, meant that it was probably something about Jove.

"What's up?" He asked, looking between both Ren and Yuki after finally deciding to come see for himself. Thankfully, he didn't bother with his usual insult on sight. If something was really wrong, he didn't want to make matters worse by causing another pointless argument.

Israfel was usually fine with flying these days, enjoying his new more adult wings and the fact he could now actually fly and not just..hover pathetically. While he still didn't dare go very high for fear of the winds, staying just above the tree line was easy enough, and gave him the practice he needed. Still he tended to fly pretty casually, and didn't often notice many others about. SO when he saw a few students gathering and entering the forest curiousness did rise up in the siren. He recognized Tybalt and Ren but not the other boil. Flying down and coming to a bit of a skittish stop, he cocked his head. They seemed..concerned? The forest was a place they were not supposed to really explore, but it looked like they had some sort of need to go in. Either way Israfel figured there would be no harm in asking what they were doing and he followed them into the forest before approaching. "Hi." He smiled, nodding to them. "Why are we in the forest?"

Year two, yet still simple minded.

Tahki had been enjoying a woodsy walk at her leisure. It was nice out and the gryphon was enjoying every moment. Leaves crunched beneath her clawed feet with every step.

Crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch crunch.

Something about that sound just made the gryphon smile. A pile of leaves caught her sight and a wicked evil grin unraveled on her face. No one seemed to be around, why not? Tahki ran and dived in to the pile with a very wicked look in her eyes.

However, her moment of playfulness died when she noticed the group of students gathered by the tree line. Tahki frowned and held on to her head phones, adjusting them a bit, before wandering over to see what exactly was going on. She knew Ren, Tybalt and Israfel but there where faces she did not know. Quietly, the gryphon approached the group.

"W-whats going on Tybalt?"

There were a lot of faces the gryphon did not know. She gave a timid smile to Willow , Yuki and Bea.

Israfel smiled at Bea, then gave a sad shake of his head. "I'm not sure. Something in the woods..." He recalled his last visit there. When he had successfully had a bucket trapped on his head and sat on a stump while something had happened to the other students. Out of ten, the event rated a two on the scale of 'how mentally scarring was that school experience'. Bucket on head kind of spared him anything, but he still had had a bucket on his head the whole time which rather sucked.

When Tahki arrived, Israfel's mood considerably lightened. The artic gryphon getting a grin and the sight of feathers fluffing out in greeting. Though he didn't say anything, he gave a small head bob to her. However, in greeting Tahki, he didn't notice the other new boil to arrive. Knobs and snots may interact, but Israfel was just simple, he was a siren. And sirens did tend to stay with their flocks. So his focus was pretty much on the other year two students who looked like they knew what was going on.

Israfel was growing concerned. The sounds he normally might have were we not present, and more then that, it just seemed empty. "Do you guys find it odd?" His ear wings kept flicked about, trying to find something, anything to hone in on. "All the birds are silent." Maybe it was just him, but the lack of songs from the usual sky's nocturne...it didn't sit well with him.

Roch took a step back, only to curse inwardly as a stick broke under his foot. That sort of s**t never happened when he was in the city!! He looked around, then up, seeing a branch hanging right over his head, which he grabbed onto and hauled himself up onto quickly.

All those years of climbing fences seemed to come in handy when climbing trees, he thought as he tried to hide among the branches. His gray clothing did a decent job of making it hard to see him, but not great.
