Welcome to Gaia! ::

Their teacher was saying something. At least he thought so. Maybe. Thackery was only very vaguely aware of anything going on around him, too overwhelmed with contentment. Sleeping next to the fireplace was nothing compared to this! His eyes were half-lidded and the Cerberus had rolled over onto his back, limbs lolling lazily to the side.

He couldn't wait to bring Ash to such a happy place. The relaxation would probably do him some good, really. And it was still on Amityville grounds, so...maybe that counted as home?

Alex watched Mort's molerats bemusedly. They really weren't such bad critters now that they were tamed and not being all...bitey. Alex really did not like being on the receiving end of those teeth!

"You really think something bad is going to happen?" Alex asked Mort, though was interrupted by a wave of hot water suddenly splashing over him. He yelped in surprise and tried to push back with his feet away from the edge of the water, only to have his skelatal foot slip and slide over the now wet rocky ledge, resulting in a very pathetic retreat. His molerats, who had been sitting so near him, had ended up with water on them as well, and shook out their bodies, effectively splashing Alex yet more.

He might have been upset with the weremantis, but he knew that he pretty much derved it after kicking water at the other boil. Still though, Yin knew Alex didn't like hot things, so he may have felt a little pouty at that moment. He perked up at the sudden mention by the instructor of the very hot springs and the not so hot springs, but in the end, water was water, and Alex was just not interested.

Some adventure this turned out to be.

Heedless of Mort's cautioning words of impending doom, Alex crawled around the pool, telling his molerats to stay, which they did, and ended up next to Yin once more. The zomboil looked quite sullen, but with a sigh, rolled up his pant legs (which was absurd, considering they were already wet) and slowly dipped his legs in the pool, grimacing at the sudden heat that accosted his cold limbs. He pulled his flesh covered leg out almost immediately, the heat just being too much for him to bare. He wished he could enjoy the springs as much as Yin, but he just couldn't.

And so he sat, one knee up with his chin resting on top and his skeletal leg dipped in the water, moving back and forth as he slowly bent and unbent his knee, watching the way the water rippled around it and distorted it's image to his eye.

The talk of homework grabbed his attention, but it seemed Alex was going to have to find somebody who hadn't attended the class and bring them back here. He racked his brain immediatly trying to think of who he could drag along.

Willow grinned when she saw the water, ohhh a new place to play! She'd have to come down here when she had the free time. It didn't take long for the tiger to sink herself into one of the pools and paddle around.

Her ears perked up when the teacher mentioned homework. However, it wasn't as bad as some of the others classes. Bring a friend. That would be easy! Willow could bring alllll her friends if she needed to! The tiger ghoul blew bubbles into the water before grinning. Of course, Willow could spend all day in here but eventually she'd have to find a friend and drag them along. That'd be okay though for now, WATER!
