((Guys please be aware of the latest version of the sign up sheet - the pink one is gone, the white one Zar made is the only one actually still around!))

Vanya was one of the last to sign up and there weren't many students in the classroom when she did so. Still, she made it within the time frame and she at least managed to arrive at the gate on time.
Vanya didn't bother turning out her pockets. She barely wore clothes as it was and what little clothing she did have didn't have enough room for pockets. She did a half-assed twirl to show she wasn't smuggling anything before picking up a pin and putting it on.
The transformation was almost instant and it took Vanya a few moments to realise what had even happened. A glance down at her body showed her skin had taken on a more human-like colour. Still pale; but it had some pink to it. Her hair was black and featherless and her talons had been replaced with feet. No wings or sharp claws. For a moment she stood in silence. Her outfit wasn't terrible, at least. Sandals tied at her ankles with a bow; gold and blue. A pair of shorts that went up to her waist and left nothing in her leg area to the imagination and a singlet that hung loosely and barely covered her chest as well as sporting an open back.
Well, she sighed, it wasn't permanent and she was still pretty - at least by human standards. Her feet, however, would take some getting used to. She tested them, taking a few faltering steps. She was so used to walking on claws; light as a feather that she stumbled a few times before she got the basic gist of it.
There was no mistaking Gabby when he ambled over; Efflo had been unable to resist stealing glances as he had chatted with Sibyl. He stopped fighting with his shoes, staring; surprised at the tentative way Gabby called his name. Didn’t he know it was him? Then grumpily Efflo remembered that he was all the wrong colors, and all the wrong clothes. He bet he couldn't even take his shirt off. He was never touching another pin ever again.
He stiffened when the Gabby leaned over, torn wanting to steal something a little more significant than a glance and wanting to shrink away, unsure of how to act in public. Besides, just because he had helped the ghoul, didn’t mean he’d let his guard down. The horse was still uneasy, ready at the first opportunity to bolt.
“Idiot,” he muttered softly at Gabby’s late realization, shaking his head and unconsciously smiling a little.
But the smile didn’t last long, replaced with a look of quiet terror as Sibyl crawled closer. Too close. And then she was asking him a question, a question he didn’t know how to answer but even before he could answer she was introducing herself and all of her excitement had Efflo looking like he might faint.
“Ah, uh, h-hi, Sibyl,” he replied politely, scooting back a few inches for safety. What if she tried to hug him? He wasn't sure he was ready for that.
Oh hey there was a ghoul he recognized. Oh hey, she was probably Jacken warm. Andrew gravitated to a certain ghoul and snuck his arms around her, clinging a little and still shaking trying to get warmer. It wasn’t doing much good. “Oh hey there. I’m freezing.” He nestled as close as he could to her from the side and buried his face into her shoulder. Normally touching was only by permission but he was too cold to care at the moment.

Uru noticed a little girl nearby, one that he recalled, and smelled like... well, death. To him, all undead things had the same smell unless they were constantly wearing something he was able to familiarize. Holding up his pants, he made his way to her. Without his tail, the button above his tail served no purpose, and thus the only thing keeping them up was his derriere and waist.
"How's it like to be alive again?" He questioned the little girl, assuming his assumptions were correct.
Gabby almost felt sorry for Efflo. Just by proxy, he would now have a Sibyl in his life. He'd managed to get quite used to - and fond of - that presence, but that did not necessarily mean Efflo was going to feel the same. He cleared his throat to hide the snicker, and held his hand out, offering it to Efflo. He was going to need all the support he could get.
"Sibyl's a really good friend of mine. And, Sibyl, this is Efflo. My boilfriend."
He tried to make it sound as nonchalant as possible, but it was hard. He'd never actually said something like that to anyone before. Actual pink color flooded his cheeks for the first time in his unlife, instead of that dark and dreary shadow that he'd usually get when he blushed.
He gave Efflo a warning glance, as if to say batten down the hatches, you're about to get hugged.

Selene was so pleased to see the pin had worked, and she returned to helping other students, only to find herself looking at the cigarettes that fell at her feet. "Oh no, young man! Don't you know how dangerous those are! You could end up unable to speak for-"
Then she looked up, and realized who she was looking at. Her entire face went red with a blush, and her voice stuttered to a halt, before letting out a nervous giggle. She couldn't actually answer him, but she was very glad that his pin did not glitch. She didn't need to see this particular student in the nude again.
She nodded and shook, shuffling his items to the pile and accidentally stepping on the cigarettes as she did so. She still couldn't say a word.
Sibyl's expression immediately softened when she saw the look of terror in Efflo's eyes and she backed off on instinct. He was scared. That was bad, no scaring students only humans. No scaring new friends. She looked up to Gabby when she heard her name and grinned, looking proud to be called 'a really good friend', but there was a word in there that she hadn't been expecting. Boilfriend? But...boils..what? Gabby was a boil, right? Gabriel was a boil name. And Efflo was a boil, he'd said it himself. She looked confused, though not disapproving. It was pure confusion on her face.
How..did this work? Her brow furrowed. Well, Siddie and Sammy were both ghouls and they were together....could boils really do the same thing? How did it work? Did this make Gabby and Efflo lesbians too?
Well, okay.
She finally grinned. She understood now. Her best friend was a lesbian. "That's great!" Despite the delay in her response it was a genuine sentiment. Gabby was making friends so well he was getting a boilfriend! "It's even NICER to meet you, Efflo!" She did move forward as if to hug him but again there was that look of fear in his eyes. No sudden movements for easily spooked creatures. What was Efflo normally? "I'm very glad to see Gabby is making really good friends. I told him he could do it and he didn't believe me." She gave a sage nod and grabbed onto Gabby to pull herself up. Her ankle ached a little but she could walk it off.
Once on her feet again she released the boil and stumbled back to settle in these new shoes that were cursed to her feet. Weird shoes. "Humans dress weird..what are you normally, Efflo?" Had she seen him around, perhaps? She didn't know this boil but she wanted to!

"No." He pouted. "I got it." He turned away just a bit to continue getting the pin on when at long last, it clasped to his coat. The change was peculiar, and if TG hadn't looked like a scarling, he looked like a young, small human. With a wide forehead, short, buzzcut red hair, and a big black hoodie, he looked like a pouty punk more than anything with large eyes.
"Ewwww!" He said, looking at his hands. No claws was just gross, and no tail either. Frowning, he reached up and touched his bald head. No horns.

For once, Olivia didn't seem to have her eyes on the others like they usually would be. Instead she was looking at her hand as she concentrating on the concept of letting air in and out of her chest and at an even rate. How did humans and... well living things deal with this process? No one else seemed to be struggling, maybe.. it was supposed to be automatic?
So, it was a rather startling to feel arms suddenly wrap around her shoulders with a pressure so near the crook of her neck. Olivia tensed for a moment, her eyes wide as she looked at the source. At first, she had no idea but that voice. "An.. drew?" Oh jack, he was touching her. He was touching her! He was on fire! Her body shook violently, a natural reaction to the thought that her body was going to suddenly combust into flame from the simple matter of touching (a hug really). He was - wait, wait.. she realized, he wasn't. His wings, that tail, that radiating heat seemed to have vanished. Huh. Just as she wasn't as cold.
This felt awkward. Her lips pressed together, unsure of what to do. Olivia was still shaking.
And she turned to the other boil with a very confused look upon her face. "I... don't... know?" She answered honestly, "breathing... is .. weird..."

Zar's reaction to TG's shift in appearance was predictably minimal as a lot of his reactions generally were, he sympathised though with the lack of claws and horns, it had taken him a long time to adjust to donning human form. They had a lot of very bizarre traits.

Everyone was being given various clothing and losing features. Or well... being altered to fit some human normal. Molan would have kept fussing over his own appearance, trying to find some way to adjust the shorts and... tights. How did ghouls manage wearing tights? Nope. Not going to question it further. He didn't even have his ears or tail at this point. Life was a form of misery. He let out a sigh as he tried to tug the sleeves of his new shirt back down to cover his arms and would have likely gone to complain.
Seeing as he didn't enjoy wearing a lady's clothing. Stupid pin.
However there was a distraction that needed dealing with. Just as he was about to turn and seek out Selene's assistance, he found himself looking an an odd sight. Clearly, the girl was Olivia. And... Andrew. That twerp. He was literally taking the first chance he got to try and cuddle up or something strange. That wasn't the least bit appropriate in his opinion.
A few quick steps toward them and he caught Olivia's... odd statement. Well for her it was a normal concern, but to him? Well breathing was normal. "Don't think about it too much." He stated as he quickly reached out to snag one of Andrew's arms and try to tug the flame demon loose. Andrew was... normal temperature. That was peculiar. Then again, if he'd been paying attention he'd likely have noticed he felt like it was warm in the area as it was. Or he was warmer than usual. Either or.
Still "Let her go. You're being ridiculous." His statement wasn't too angry, but the firm tug as he tried to pull the fellow demon from the undead ghoul was enough to announce the annoyance. Tsk, what a brat.

TG glared up. "What's that supposed to me? I'm hotter than this skinbag." Huffing, he looked up at Zar. "You look like a dork without horns."

That would always be funny Jove. You'll never escape it -- BE THE BALL.
Nuk's expression shifted a little to one of surprise as Professor Selene began to scold him about the cigarettes, his eyebrows lifting as his amber eyes grew a fraction of an inch wider. Blinking slowly, he leaned back just a little, his chin still tilted down as he watched her, 'the sweetest professor' attempting some sort of lecture to the brute of a boil. And even as she did, his features had begun to change. His eyes were the first to go, being the most inhuman; black sclera dissolved into white, like a droplet of water banishing an oil stain. The glow in his eyes dimmed, then faded altogether, replaced instead by a deep, dark brown that almost blended entirely with his iris. And although that was the only noticeably inhuman thing about him, that wasn't the only change which overtook him. First, the scars vanished. The claw marks littering his jaw, his throat, his chest and arms, he felt the skin knit together, until it was perfect and new. Tattoos, too, begin to disappear, the ink withdrawing from his skin as his hair becomes cropped closer to his head, a more traditional 'human' style.
Lastly was his clothes, and it seemed Selene would be getting her wish; not only would he not be naked, but he would be even MORE clothes than usual. A black muscle tee wove itself into existence around his chest, accompanied by a pair of tan work-boots, bare feet disappearing beneath the supple material. In the end, he gave off the impression of a wannabe teenaged heart throb, one who looked suspiciously like a certainfictional werewolf... (Who pulled off the look far better, and was certainly NOT a wannabe.)
Nuk was hardly paying attention to that, though. Instead, while the pin offered him its illusion, the skinwalker had effectively made the poor professor blush again, her scolding tone turning into a high-pitched giggle. Now that was more like what he was talking about. Smirking a little, he gave her an amused stare, not even upset as he watch her step on his cigarettes, his eyes following her floundering movements until he finally turned away, humming the tune to 'hot for teacher' before he shuffled off towards the rest of the group.
He was in a decidedly good mood now, still whistling the tune until his eyes fell upon a certain ghoul which caught his attention, inexplicably. Doing a double-take, he stared at her, or rather, her now-human form for a second, his eyes narrowing a little as he peered at her, a chill running down his spine.
No. It... was it? He hadn't seen any of them since... ... but...
Suddenly a little uncertain, the skinwalker edged towards Taima slowly, giving her a curious look as he stopped a few feet away, his hands shoved into his pockets. "Hey. I... uh... I know you, right?" he asked, his tone curious... and maybe a little hesitant.
He'd gone on this fieldtrip to avoid thinking about the redhead. Get his mind off of... ... that. It only brought up feelings he wanted to squash, but couldn't, reminded him of his conversation with the kitsune from the roof. It brought the tight constriction of confusion to a knot in his chest, his throat feeling tight as he fought with himself, and lost.
But he was inexplicably happy to see her. Even though he knew it hadn't been him who had known her at all. In fact, it hadn't been either of them.
