Welcome to Gaia! ::

A soft hand came in touch with Joy's arm, "I am okay, don't worry" The owner of the cheerful friendly voice said. The Moon collided with a petite Asian, in a bunny ear hoodie. She used two hands to adjust her slanted peach-but-nearly-red glasses before she smiled at Joy.

"Are you in a hurry? I'll be fine" The girl didn't sleep well the night before felt dizzy from the impact, face paler than the normal healthy pinkish color. "I'm good." She insisted again.

Eyes flickered and breathe became rapid, it was a failed feigning.

Huni Pi

Let's see~

The joke of zombies caused a weak giggle, "you might have chance to encounter that in mission" the petite girl accepted the assistance and clung some of her weight onto Joy. "Sorry for the trouble, I guess it's a bad idea to read after you had an external mission. Some books are close to due date, so I wanna finish them. Can you bring me over there please?" She pointed to the settee not far away.

"If it doesn't trouble you, can I ask for a drink from the vending machine?" She handed Joy her wallet.

"Oh myyyyyy they played a trick on you, who's that evil person?" Even she felt unwell, her surprise could be delivered. "Piggyback ride is fine, thank you" It was unexplained for the excitement in her voice, after the giggle escaped from her mouth, hands wrapped around Joy's shoulder. "I am Shu, Dong Shu Lei, nice to meet you."

"Ah, that way" she told the way, noticing her coat didn't have the colored border.

Joy's back was comfortable, much softer than him maybe but her reply made Shu pushed herself up in a fuss, "ALICE is not evil, she's just alone....she can't leave the world of dream so she wants us to stay with her. Please don't misunderstand." A few hand waves and anxious tone that made her nearly fell before she grabbed onto Joy's clothes and exhaled in relief. The heart throbbing transferred from the Moon's back might tell her how hectic she was.

When she finally calmed down, the grab was of lighter force. "Joy then, joy's a cute happy name, who named that?" The head reached out from the left, amber eyes glancing with a smile, a strand of dark brown hair with strawberry ombre at the end slid down with her movement.

The drink she picked was a bottle of water, "thank you", she said as Joy helped her to get the bottle out the slot. "Yup, luckily. They're interesting" The petite Death rubbed her eyes, she probably need a nap soon.

She looked young, but can be reassured to be an official adult. The shortness and baby face, typical asian feature that can be regarded as cheating already tricked a bunch of hunters. Ah, forgot to mention her flat-like-washboard chest, it was also a reason why some treated her like twelve or something.

Shu stuttered at the concession, she wanted to tell Joy genuinely that ALICE was just a lonely girl even she held incredible power. (You know how it feels.) Yes, I do. The fairytale book held by a pair of little cold hands, body curled up in the dark, narrating the lines from the book - the little hand rubbed her tummy when it created thunder-like loud drumbeats.

- Her concession, a quiet sigh of 'her existence saves me'

Despite of the pale face, the petite Asian was full of cheerfulness. The smile only grew bigger and bigger as they chatted. "It's a really cute nickname. In our place, family sometimes use reduplication of word from the full name as nickname. For example, my name - last word is 'Lei', meaning flower bud. My sisters and mother called me 'Lei Lei', it was close to the pronunciation of the intimate call of the word meaning 'daughter'." She raised a finger, "because babies don't recognize a lot of words, reduplication of a simple sound will do the trick. 'Dong' is our surname while 'Shu' - it means one of the Six Arts - calligraphy." She grabbed the water and sipped.

The intake of water made her feel much better. "Haha. If you count mission reports." The giggle subsides, "they were some books about ghosts and undead, I plan to visit the Halloween World in a student golem, so doing some preparations." A small thank you when she landed comfortably on the furniture.

"It was a fuss when I went back from the mission, idly reached for one of the books and saw the date" she teased herself.

"A student golem allows you a disguise of Amityville student so that you can pry information from the residents there, it's the H-type. There are a few more, like P-type which is used in one of the training course and C-type which used in another course. Let's talk about the H-type since you're interested." Shu sipped from her water, rolled her eyes which were on the bottle (if not, the water might have a high possibility to pour out) to Joy and raised a forefinger.

"You will be remotely controlling it from the island, when started, it will shift randomly into one Halloween world habitat, like demon, monster, zombie, anything. They can be used for duration of one mission, hmm, around 7 days. Golems are made of dust, powdered bones, water and most important FEAR." Like a little teacher, she told the new Moon what she learned, without any hold-back.

The hand dabbed on the hand flatly opened, "ah", she abruptly remembered something. "There should be orientation roughly a month for newly awakened hunters, oh oh, have you got our newbie kit? They are in the pod room." Shu beamed happily, and soon Joy knew why. "It's organized by Mr. Thompson, hmm - Obadiah Thompson, a great Moon hunter, you will find him on twitter. He is willing to help new trainees like you." Yes, she liked talking about her acquaintances they were all nice people.

"Mahina ang kalaban? Oh sorry, did I speak too fast?" She wetted her dry lips and nodded with a smile to her first question. "Hmm, robot. I guess you can say so, sophisticated machine - yup, because the Halloween inhabitants would suspect, if there's no FEAR inside the golem. Imagine you are controlling a robot cat from far, you can see and hear through it, the only difference is it's humanoid."

She beamed in surprise, "So you know the Moon assistant and Mr. Harrison, that's great." Shu grabbed Joy's hands quickly before she let go. "Mr. Harrison's a nice guy, he gives information and warning to newbies on twitter. As for Mr. Thompson, he's a full hunter as well. The reason why I mentioned him is the orientation includes nearly everything a new trainee should know and he made a lot of efforts to educate newbies." She paused.

"You are free to find whoever you want, just the orientation would be something you don't wanna miss." Shu winked, stressing how good it is. "There will be experienced hunters from each division to answer newbie's question as well as a briefing that prepare you for what you need to do. Are you newly awakened? How long?."
