Welcome to Gaia! ::

One couldn't say Bul was doing completely better but with a flicker of the eyes he was already beginning to move again and scooch his way out of the snow, shivering and shaking.

"Dear Jack.." he panted with chattering teeth. "Need... need warmth.. need..."

While his goal was to get out of the snow it was also a good idea to keep crawling towards Mei even if it meant pushing her out of the snow too.

Looking like some (really big) dog covered in towels and blankets after a bath, the boil finally settled wedged up against Mei and eventually navigated his head out of the warm blankets. Nevermind that the first thing he caught a glimpse of was her chest; there was steaming hot chocolate just across the way near Levi.

"Wwwaaaa--anan.tt...." he chattered helplessly. Sounded like Bul needed to use his big boy words.

The grumbling growl that burbled from West's throat didn't last long, melding into the first words he spoke. "S'not that. Why'd y'throw the whistle... up? We coulda used it more!" He gestured toward Mei and the barely conscious Bul, the hot chocolate he held in his opposite hand sloshing out onto his thumb. He sighed before he switched the cup to his other hand and licked it off, already feeling the rejuvenating effects of the drink from that small amount. Fine.

He stood in the snow for several minutes, silently sipping his drink and feeling the same strange blankness he had felt after being bested by Levi. He wasn't sure if he liked the feeling. No, wait. He didn't like it. He was sure.

Once the last of the liquid was gone, West tossed his cup into the snow. "Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I say we don't wait'n see. I say we go lookin' for 'em."

HP: 5 + 15 = 20

Professor said ta' pass it on, West. If we got these critters 'ere n' those other ones in tha caf'teria n' auditorium, then we ain't tha only ones, ya know? He obviously knew, but it wasn't in his nature to care right off the bat; fair enough. Who knows how badly they're all doin'. Levi looked at him like he knew what she meant; there were worse scenarios than this. He didn't want that to happen again just as much as she did surely. And if that wasn't enough, well... If they go down, m'sure them things'll come 'after us soon'nuff. Be glad 'ya got what ya did n' can keep on lookin' fer... eh~ Jingleberry.

She couldn't help but think "dummy" at his willingness to rush back into the chase so soon but her facial expression read as a smirk; the smirk was coupled by a mild shaking of her head. It wasn't that she disapproved of this action so much as couldn't believe how predictable it was for him. She finished her hot chocolate and hurriedly threw the cup in an appropriate bin. I read ya, but we better let tha'others know.

She had certainly seen what Bul was capable of now after that fight, but neither did she want to instantly include him, Mei or Sibyl in their wild goose chase if it meant Bul going back into a cold coma. She couldn't see any sign of the seal ghoul either but- Levi too figured perhaps she'd gone off the way she had arrived. Walking over to take a quick sit by Mei and the now speaking Bul, Levi gave the half beast a strong grip on the shoulder before letting them know she and West had more fish to fry. The half beast had looked to West to celebrate their victory, but Levi couldn't help but think they had had some much needed help in the matter. It was a battle that could have gone a completely different route had it not been for the bird ToTer.

Sure did give 'em a run fer their nickers.... but listen, we're headin' on out. Got somethin' ta try n' find in this mess. Ya'll got them eyePhones if'ya need us, eh? Way to think of numbers, tatzel. She herself did not own a portable phone device, but she knew the wrath demon did; most students did. Otherwise, just don't go doin' anythin' I wouldn't do! She said this while returning to a stand and bounding back over to West in a hurry. There was a ninja to potentially fight and other critters threatening their town; time to hunt. Alright- we goin'? Readjusting one length of her scarf tighter, Levi waited for West to lead the way again.

Her gaze wandered over to Sybil, whom appeared to still be out of it. Shaking her head slowly, the doll shrugged and sighed. "I don't know..I used my fear healing on her, but I don't know if it worked." There was really nothing else she could do for the ghoul, except to make her as comfortable as she could. But even then, it seemed useless. "I'm not sure what to do."

Smiling at Levi, she waved the two off. "Stay safe you two. And give the enemy a good a** kicking!" Calling out to them, she returned her gaze to Bul. "What do you suppose we should do now?"

Fine. The Rage Whistle had never been his to keep. It was clearly an instrument of healing and comfort, two things he didn't particularly like anyway. Still, he couldn't argue with the fact that whatever was going on around here had to be stopped, and if Vlad and Malcolm and their stupid drinks and scarves could help others live long enough to figure out what was going on, then they should go and deliver some more of those.

He ignored Levi's smirking and her stupid tone -- okay, maybe he narrowed his eyes a little -- but Vlad's bark and Bul's happy reaction to being alive and victorious pulled a faint smirk from West as well. He nodded at the half beast, then briefly touched his side before looking to the tatzel as she approached.

"You got my phone," he said, pointing at he pocket of the jacket she wore. "You can go'head an' use it t'take a picture when we find Jingleberry." Not waiting for her reply, he turned and stomped off into the snow.

(( exitinggg! ))

((I'M SO SORRY OTL))

Sibyl had indeed been healed, and she'd been about to thank the nice doll girl who had helped her when suddenly she'd seen the most. amazing. snowdrift. ever. For some reason a nice comfy nap in the snow seemed to be higher priority than fighting off the creatures that had turned gray and blue and mean.

So that was where she'd been. Asleep, as a seal again, in the snow.

And yes, she was still sleeping peacefully.
