Welcome to Gaia! ::

Circe noticed after applying her charm to Val's cheek that a ton of fuzzy and adorable things were scampering around the room. "Awww!!!" She said, standing up from her chair and trying to catch one. Sadly the small thing ran off before she got a chance to get a hold of it. Frowning Circe put her hands on her hips, determined not to lose to a furry ball of... Well she wasn't quite sure what it was. Maybe if she was lucky West hadn't noticed.

"Yes yes yes yes" in Valentino's hands there was the furious furry creature. it was all his and if it didn't stop squirming, it was going to be his dinner.

Once the fuzzy little creatures exploded into the room, West wasn't paying enough attention to his surroundings to notice Circe's missed attempt at catching them. No, he only saw her once she had snagged a poofball all her own.

"G'job," he muttered in a rare moment of congratulations. The demon was glad to get up and move away from Slap Happy, skittering around the room himself in search of one of the escaped creatures. Despite his adorable facial rune, West managed to catch one of the things fairly quickly.

The fire demonness listened idly as Cricket explained how the charms worked. Did Danny care about the inner workings of the seriousness of charms?

Not in the least.

Danny frowned as Nuru asked to switch partners. Why was he doing that? Did she really upset him that much? She didn't know canine students were even sensitive about the air around their ears. Well ... oops? Danny didn't mind much. Just as long as someone fun would be her partner!

Luckily the "someone" who switched with Nuru was someone she already knew. It was the ghoul from scarentines! Well that was a step in the right direction. "Hiya!" she whispered (as Cricket had already begun talking) with a smile, the incident with Nuru already forgotten.

Danny wasted no time slapping the charm on Willow's arm, unfortunately answering Willow's question in the worst way. After waiting a while, she peeled the marking off, revealing a nicely printed charm. "YAAAAAAAAAAY," she cheered, quite loudly at her success.

((Eek sorry. I was at the play! > A<;; ))

The downside of the properly put on Protection Charm was starting to show its downsides as she tried to catch the Lammit just for it to run off to another corner.

It was speedy!

Very near a state of euphoria, Thackery dove towards another creature, missing it by mere inches. He went sprawling across the floor, where a few lammits hopped up to give him eskimo kisses.

Thackery thought he might cry from the sheer levels of cute overload.

A white ear twitched in response to her name, resulting in Levi turning her head to see the snake with the sweet face that reminded her of her kin. Aye, Biskoto! Smiling brightly, she shifted to make space, chuckling to the nuzzling. In return, she stroked Bis under her chin affectionately like she would have a tatzel scarling. The serpent directed her attention to the boil- Thanatos.

Can't say we dun been introduced. Name's Levi, Thanatos. Pleasure ta'meet'cha. Had class together 'before but haven't seen ya'round much. Been 'ere long? At the school, she meant; Levi made sure not to cramp Than between her and Hel, looking just a tad surprised that the boil would choose to sit here of all places. Clearly, he didn't know either of them very well. Right special critter ya'got 'ere. She shook the reaper's hand with a firm grip before their professor decidedly appeared/began.

Protection Charms...

And Levi was working with a boil. Her internal conflicts regarding mold and various other activities associated therein were resolved by her remembering. Protection Charms meant protection. All would be fine. Go with the flow of the class. Taking a deep breath, Levi fiddled with the foiled object between her fingers before addressing Than again. Looks like we're pairin' up fer this'one. Uh... it's ma'first time.

It was her first time; if her face changed in coloration in the slightest, she quickly rubbed the back of her hand across her cheeks to make them even redder. It was from the force of her hand. Yep. All of it.

Levi knew what these did. Somehow her gaze shifted toward something pink and horned. It was just for a split second and thoughts of the haunted house and mold suddenly came to mind. Protection, ghoul. These are protection. She returned to smile at Than rather abruptly like nothing had just happened in her head. Nope nope not a thing.

He had done it again. The look that crossed his face showed exactly how he felt before he could even try to cover it up. He had tried to be careful, had tried to give Alexander a bit of a warning and had tried above all to be gentle, to not press on the zomboil's stitches or accidentally scratching him with his claws. And they were bonded. Alexander had to know that he would never intentionally harm him. He knew it had to be a sensitive area, but he had let Yin touch him there before. So when Alexander jerked away it could not be from fear. He was moving away from Yin.

Yin had cringed back on his own, but when Alexander started apologizing for something that was obviously Yin's fault his hands tightened into fists, claws biting into the flesh of his palms and a warm trickle of blood beginning to leak down his hands to his wrists so he forced them down, hoping to hide them under the table. "I-I will not d-do it again," he stammered as he tried to act like he was not completely tore up over what he had just done to the zomboil. Never touching Alexander's neck again. Ever. He should have known, he should have taken the time to get to know all of this long before now. He was failing at being Alexander's bonded.

Alexander's hand was on his arm and the charm being pressed to his skin and he just sat there, accepting it. He watched the process, trying to feign interest and also have an excuse to not look up at the zomboil. "I am sure that you did a better job than I," he pointed out, trying to avoid stating the obvious. One of them had caused the other to jerk back, and it certainly was not Alexander. "I suppose you had best to tell Nurse Cricket now..."

Then the pen in the center of the class exploded. Thank the Great Mantis, there was something to do. Catch one and prove he was not completely useless? That was a mission he was willing to take. He may have scooted his chair back rather quickly as he went to chase down his new prey, hand finally darting out to pluck one off the ground as it tried to scamper past. And now? Now the awkward return back to his seat, because he had no idea what to say when he returned. Maybe if he just walked like Alexander he could give himself enough time to think of something? Even trying to slow himself down he reached the table far to soon. Perhaps he should just pretend to be preoccupied with the creature trying to escape his grasp? Yeah, that sounded like a plan.
