Welcome to Gaia! ::

First Aid 101 had been...traumatizing. There was simply no other way to put it. Walking through the hallways? Even worse. Everything was worse. So Yǐn Cáng had slipped inside of an empty classroom, huddling down in a corner until nigh fell, hugging his? her? knees to her far too ample bosom. Just wait until everything died down. Do not even bother attempting to go back into the hallway.

And so she had stayed, replaying her mortifying memories over and over and over again because she could not focus on anything else. Once she stood to try to practice martial arts but she was so off balance and if she tried to do any punches she accidentally touched herself and she should not be touching breasts.

So she sat. She waited. And finally, finally night fell and she crept out of the room and the school. Once outside she glanced around anxiously as she headed to the monster dorms, hoping to reach them without encountering anyone else. The fewer people that saw her like this the better.

Yin thought she faintly heard a voice singing, a nice voice, but nevertheless she rather hoped not to be noticed. Just get to her dorm room. If she could just get to her dorm room she would be safe and she could try to figure out what to do from there. If she was to stay a ghoul well...that would change things. She did not like ghouls. Ghouls were entitled and terrifying and were meant to be obeyed. But ghouls here were different. Maybe she did not have to be like a mantodae ghoul.

As the singing began to get louder she tried to concentrate on just slipping past, sighing when the singing stopped. But then the voice was calling out. She glanced around, hoping, praying to the Great Mantis that there was someone else nearby. No there was not. Now more than ever she wished that she could access her natural form and flee but it was barred to her and there was little she could do without being completely rude.

She turned toward the voice to see a boil surrounded by moths. A boil in a skirt, which in and of itself might seem odd, but today nothing made sense any way she looked at it. Was it a boil? Was it a ghoul? Either way she did not know them, and she was a ghoul. If everything in her life was going to be upside-down and awful she might as well have some fun with it. "Excuse me?" she said somewhat haughtily, eyeing the boil as she tried to look more confident than she felt.

As the moths began to land on Yin, their crawling seemed to be almost ticklish and she could not help but let out a small giggle before she clamped her mouth shut. No. Giggling. Absolutely not. So instead she tried to focus on the moths crawling on her. Moths did not make for good meals, but tonight these moths looked...they looked cute and she gave them a small smile as the boil began talking.

And confiremed one of her worst fears. This was actually a ghoul. A ghoul in a boil's body just as she was a boil in a ghouls body. He seemed to be taking it rather well however. But it was hard to know how she should deal with him. It was a ghoul yes, but her brain kept telling her it was a boil. Boils should not be so open with ghouls, but was it the body that made them boil and ghoul or the mind? Her brain protested, having tried to make sense of this far to often today.

"Greetings Miss? Evelyn-Aglaya Yeva Verochka," well was that not a mouthful? And rather hard to say. "I am Yǐn Cáng and yes, earlier today I was a boil. I do not know the reason, only that the school seems to expect us to continue on as usual. She had not been at the school for too long, but she also had not seen this moth being before. "Strange things sometimes occur at this school, and perhaps it is related to one of those events?" She was still respectful, but just standing in front of a boil was less stressful than talking to a ghoul and she found that once she started words seemed to come out easily enough. Not like talking to a physical ghoul.

Yin was busy being extremely fascinated by one of the moth's with beautifully patterned wings. Someday I shall have a pair just as magnificent, she told herself with a dreamy sigh.

Okay, dreamy sighs were no longer allowed either.

She snapped her attention back to the rather nice boil greeting her, by now so used to the mispronunciation of her name that it produced no more response than a lone eye twitch. As for how he felt about the "ordeal," those sentiments were much stronger. "I do not like it at all." She said firmly, knowing that she was talking to a ghoul be feeling much more at ease while she stared a a boil.

"I do not like that someone or something has tampered with my body. I do not appreciate the additions or subtractions." What she failed to mention was how much having emotions constantly on the forefront of her mind was bothering her. "I would prefer that the problem be solved quickly."

She frowned, delicate brows pulling together to furrow as she contemplated his question. Would the school do it as part of a test? Finally she shook her head lightly, not trying to disturb the moths that were using her as a perch, though the one on her antennae felt rather odd.

"I do not think the school would do this as it seems to have affected the staff as well. It is far more likely that it is the result of the Horseman that was here. Conquest I do believe." She tried not to think about him too much, or of the dissipation. But all of the power that he had...that was hard not to think about. "I do not know the significance of switching our genders around however."

She gave him a tentative smile, deciding to go with him being a boil right now, and who knew what they would be staying or for how long. "I think that you are doing a nice job at being a boil so far. Sometimes," she added thoughtfully, thinking about Princess Eva, "animals know more about individuals than anyone. And these moths certainly approve of you even in this form."

What was she even saying? It sounded sappy and ridiculous even as she said it. Ghouls talked too much. Add that to the list of reasons she really, really, really wanted to be a boil again.

So he had not been around males, that surprised Yin. Surprised her because it made sense. Why would a female be around males that often? She latched onto that tidbit because unlike everyone else it did make sense. She was so fixated on the idea that she almost missed what he said about the moths. He spoke about them as she felt about Princess Eva.

"Are these creatures your pets?" She asked curiously, raising up her arm to peer at one that had landed on her, not able to see quite as well as usual in the darkness. If they were, there were a lot of them to keep up with. "I find it hard enough to keep up with just one pet."

Anyone who knew Yin was swiftly learning not to ask her about her pet unless they did not want to talk and had some spare time on their hands. And that was when she was a boil. As a ghoul she was already a bit more open and talkative, and the opportunity to talk about Princess Eva was one that she was more than willing to take.

"I do indeed! She is a rabo, which I had neither seen nor heard of before Miss Danny gave her to me. She looks somewhat similar to a fox with three tails, but she is much, much cuter than a fox. She came in a box with a pink ribbon, which she absolutely adores. I found a little pink bed for her since she seems to like the color, but half of the time she simply sleeps on me or my bed. She is really quite smart as well, and"

The ghoul continued on in that fashion for quite some time, because no detail of Princess Eva was too small. She was the bestest best pet in the entire world, and Yin desperately wished that she could take her everywhere with her.

After far too long Yin realized that she was still monopolizing the conversation and blushed. "I must apologize, I did not mean to take up so much of your time."
