Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Is it even possible to be more in love with Sosi right now?))

Unfortunately before either the mantodae or the zomboil could ask to keep a delicious corpse they were being directed to the wall, and Yin found that the final molerat, the one he had not killed, was following him around with an entirely disturbing look on its face. And then some of the robots that looked like the ones he had faced with Miss Danny were in the cave, taking away the delicious food and other things in the cavern that he did not want in the least. It actually...reminded him that he should probably take the small robot that was in his room out of the closet at some point.

He watched, leaning forward a bit (which his(?) molerat seemed to take as a sign to rub up against him, almost knocking him over) as they began to move slabs of stone...revealing...hot springs? He began to grin. Yes, those were definitely hot springs. Mantodae's kept clean, and while for a young boil going to the hot springs had been an extremely, extremely rare treat it was something that he had enjoyed very much. He turned to grin at Alexander. "Have you ever been in..." he trailed off, pretty much knowing the answer already. Alexander? Hot water? Not exactly a match made in heaven.

Glancing back he noticed an area off to the side, where gnomes were waiting with some more towels and most of them seemed bunched around one cavern, which apparently seemed to be for ghouls. "I think I shall go try to find a clean towel and see if there is somewhere to clean up a bit." It would not do to try to get into one of the hot springs covered in molerat goop. His molerat headbutted him and he scratched it under the chin. "Do you want to get cleaned up as well?" He would wait for the answer before going over to try to find the cavern for boils.

Most people would enjoy having hot springs. Mort was not one of those people, not due to actually hating the things but, well, not being able to fully enjoy them. He stared at the inviting pools and swallowed hard, backing away a step from the nearest. Both tamed rats of his wiggled their bums beside him, chittering and giving him motions to move forward, sir, not back.

But . . . but they looked so deep. And bubbly. And watery.

He thought about it. He stared at the hotsprings. Then Roch did what Roch would always do in a situation like this, unzipped his vest, kicked off his boots and doffed his pants, to reveal his black broken heart patterned boxers (hell, half the school had seen them often enough already!) and head to the springs to slide in.

He even ducked under, washing away the molerat brains and messing up his hair. Then he lounged back against the side of the hotspring, his arms draping over the edge of the pool. Niiiice.

Wat...

Wat...

WAAATTTT??

Roch's eyes grew huge as someone or something wrapped around his ankle, then started tugging and-- "SON OF A WITCH ITS A TENTACLE MONSTER!!" he yelped, starting to get dragged under as he panicked.

Alex glanced up from all of the death and carnage surrounding he and Yin when their instructor announced that all molerats had been taken care of and to move to the side. He shambled along beside Yin, his own two tamed molerats following along behind him, getting out of the way in time to see trashbots making their way into the cavern to begin cleaning up the mess.

"Well, that answers both of us, I guess." He whispered to the weremantis. They weren't going to have to clean up the mess themselves, and they weren't going to be allowed to keep one of the corpses for consumption. The latter was a shame.

Alex took the opportunity of no longer being eaten by giant mutant molerats to have a glimpse around the room and see how everyone else fared in their taming. He noted that quite a lot of students had molerats following them around, but also there were several who were covered in the blood and gore that indicated they had blown up a molerat or two themselves. That made Alex feel quite a bit less badly for the ones he exploded.

Alex's molerats kept butting their heads into his shoulders as though they wanted some type of attention, so he would unconsciously reach over and give them a scratch behind the ears. They really weren't so bad, now that they weren't trying to bite him. Still smelt tasty though.

As things in the room progressed, Alex was surprised to learn that this was actually an area for hot springs.

Good to know. Was it time to leave now?

A glance down to Yin though showed the mantodae grinning, and Alex winced inwardly, knowing full well already that it probably meant they were staying. He gave the weremantis a completely blank look, and blinked, as though to say 'are you kidding? Of course I haven't.' Oh well, it couldn't all be bad, right? Maybe he could give his left leg a dunk.

"Uh, ya, I guess I should really. But not in one of those." He pointed at the hotspring. He would sit on the side and watch, thank you very much. "Maybe I can get a new towel and dunk it then wipe myself off or something." he mused, mostly to himself, not knowing yet that there were showers in the caverns. Though he honestly didn't care that much that he was covered in gore.

What a strange boil!

Siobhan shook her head. "No no no nooo! I am the one who should be sorry! I did not take into account the unpredictability of my tresses! Here! Allow me to assist you!" She once again grabbed the ankle attached to Roch and tried to untangle her hair from him.

"Hot springs~ Hot springs! Hot springs HOT SPRINGS~" She coo'd in a scratchy voice, attempting to sing but failing horribly. Meanwhile the rest of her hair floated around the spring willy nilly. It was a spring of hair. All the hair.

"Are you a reaper? You look like a reaper. What happened to your clothing? Do you often bathe naked?" Apparently wearing boxers was being naked, in Siobhan's eyes.

. . .

Oops.

Siobhan squawked and dove under the water, pulling Roch back up from his almost death. "EEEYAAAA I am so sorry I am so sorry I am so sorry I am so sorry I am so sorry I am so sorry I am so sorry...." Siobhan wimpered.

"I am a terrible horrible banshee and I should not be allowed to have any of the fun. Do you want my noble mounts? I will give you Fluffy and Puffy----wait no I love them you can't have them DON'T TAKE THEM FROM MEEEEEEE!!!" She sobbed into the reaper's chest.
