Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was paper on the floor, and so Yin crouched down and picked it up. He started down the hallway again and...yes, there was another piece littering the hallway. A couple of meters and...a third piece? Did he normally see this much trash on the floor?

He kept going down the hallway until he noticed the source of the issue. There, a doorway full of trashed paper. And in the hallway itself? A table and a ghoul that he slowly approached. "Excuse me miss, I believe that some of your paper has...escaped? Do you require any assistance with it?" That doorway...he had the strangest urge to clean it. He was no neat freak but nor did he entirely approve of mess, much to his boilfriend's dismay.

Go closer? Sit down? Neither of those options really appealed to him. But the then ghoul seemed to...break? She drug out the word for an almost painful amount of time. It worried him enough that he moved over and sat across of her. Maybe something was happening to her because he had not sat down quickly enough?

"Excuse me Miss, but are you going to be fine?" he questioned as soon as she seemed to be speaking again. He was more than a bit freaked out by what had just occurred. "Perhaps I could go and find someone to assist you?" Someone who might have a clue as to what had just happened.

Tied down in a weird net? That...actually clicked with the weremantis. When he had first arrived at the school he had given chase with a mob of other students, and been captured in a net. That had been the day when he had first met Mot and then later, Alexander. So really it was not as bad an experience at it had probably been for most. Though really, he could have been thinking of something completely different than the ghoul.

Wait...interview? He gave her a rather blank look before realization dawned. More trials questions. Always more trials questions. He was tempted to just dart away right then but she was sitting right there and so happily asking questions that he grudgingly stayed. "Indeed, I am on a team. The Honey Badgers. We did not perform as well as some other teams but we came together as a group," or at least that was what Miss Taryn had said. "I rather enjoyed the beach? It was a nice change. I hope that the other trials are as...warm?"

The ghoul could really interrupt him as much as she liked. And really, he did not know about the Paranormal Post. He was still trying to make it through the first book he had started reading when he arrived months ago. That did not mean that he had anything useful to tell her though.

"Well our group has...ghouls," he said rather awkwardly, though he did not elaborate on why that was a difference to work through. "And Alexander and I are just first years. Both Miss Taryn and Mort wished to be the team leader and I believe that they might have fought over it, and Miss Taryn won. I am not sure about Mademoiselle Temes...But we all worked together and fought together. Miss Taryn was very inspirational."

It was rather odd talking so much, but this seemed to be for a good cause. "No, there were no honey badgers on the team...at least, none that I knew of. We did have a crab on the team though, Snips. And I have never tasted a honey badger so I do not know if they are spicy or not. I believe the name was chosen because honey badgers," he flushed slightly, not sure that he should be repeating what he had been told. "Please pardon my language Miss, but they said that honey badgers do not give a s**t. Whatever that is supposed to mean. That was the inspiration for the team name."

Yin was not sure if he should feel offended or not. Then again, perhaps he was boring if the ghoul did not want to pay attention to him that much? "Oh yes indeed, she is very strong willed," he nodded.

Now he really wanted to try a honey badger. How spicy were they? He had never really had a meat that was naturally spicy, so it would certainly be a new experience. Would they have them in the forest? But the ghoul was talking now, dragging his attention back. She sounded happy, excited even, and the most atrocious things were coming out of her mouth. It seemed as if she was taking the one dirty word that he had said and just going off in a string of bad words. He flushed in embarrassment and shame, not about to correct her. But she was saying those things about him and he was...he was appalled. Even if she did sound like she thought it was a good thing.

"I...I am not really like that," he tried to protest, staring down. No, he was not a crazy nasty...nastyass. Or at least...he did not think he was? But what if she was right? "Do you have another question?" he asked a bit weakly.

She seemed just so...happy when she said such things. Everyone always seemed so casual about their language, but other than "jack" he had not heard too much cursing.

Oh Great Mantis she was winking at him. Maybe it was just an eye twitch? He hoped it was just an eye twitch.

"I am Yǐn Cáng," he said a bit slowly, as though he fully expected that she would not get his name correct. "I am a first year, but I am not sure? It has not felt like I have been here long enough, I have a lot to learn still. Oh but I have learned quite a bit since coming here!" he rushed to assure her. "I have read most of a book and found out who Jack was. And it is natural for me to be green." Really though, that was quite enough about himself.

"And what about you Miss?" Obviously he had never been interviewed before to know that he was not the one to be asking questions.
