HEXIDECIMAL IS STILL MISSING
For some unknown reason the Flitterbic person who was SUPPOSED to be watching the car still has not come back from checking in with the other cabins. Where could he be? How will the students manage with NO OTHER ADULT but them in the car - or heck, in the entire train?
A strange, empty chill seemed to have filled the cabin in the absence of the minipet master. Clearly something was going on involving Hexidecimal's disappearance, but what could a bunch of students do?

There was just so much bustling in the cart, Levi's blurted remark had gone unheard. Scrambling out of her seat and down the aisle, she had kept the falling hand in view and raced to the now packed area where students seemed to be massing together in conversation. She wasn't sure exactly where it was... just that it was in this area somewhere.
Levis crouched down, peering under the seats of those sitting. "Anyone see where that flyin' hand gone to? Bloody severed hands are good fer wishin' on, ya know." She was surprised no one else was keen on finding a wishing hand, but then again she remember that her knowledge base might be greater than some of her fellow creatures. She was a smart ghoul, she reassured herself, flipping her hair while creeping and checking under opposing seats.
That was when the ol' fog handed her a fancy lookin' card. Wow! She'd never seen such a fancy piece of... err... what was it? ((off to work >w< be back tonight~ edit: ah- missed the above post xD; will need to respond later~ *flees!*))

Draven looked at the card the old ghost had given him. "Huh." He pocketed the card and stared at the spot where the ghost had left the train car. Something did indeed seem strange. Not that Draven could pinpoint it...or cared to.
Not to mention...they now seemed to be completely unsupervised. Draven didn't really worry or care about that...they were all old enough to ride a train by themselves. He sat back in his chair, hoping to chat some more with his new friends.
((Time me to go to bed. I will jump back in somewhere in the morning. XD I am sure you guys will have doubled the page count by then! ))

Attention was drawn back to Vaith as he asked for his name. If he had only payed attention he could have figure out that he wanted his name from the start. “My name is Bently.” Kilometer finally answered back, amongst the chaos of the minipet master on the train. “But you’re free to call me Kilometer.” he added as he watched everyone before looking back at him.
Just as he was finished another student came into view. Their little group was slowly growing. This time a she-wolf was the new addition. An ear twitched at LW’s questions. “I guess...” He didn’t quiet know if he was enjoying this or not. “This seems a bit... chaotic for a train ride.”
What’s this? The old ghost handed him a... card.? What was he supposed to do with this? What was this even for? “Thanks?” Kilometer subconsciously answered back. Lacking any pockets he stored the card in the opening in his head. There was room and it looked important, he didn’t want to lose it.
((Shall be afk for about... 9 hours? XD))

"We are going somewhere at least! I really want to know how this train thing moves!" He tested his arm once again for good measure. "I'm Eracs, I just escaped, I mean got here the other day." Not many knew he originally lived in the shed on campus.
When they announced the winners for whatever they had been doing he shrugged but wondered what was written on those shiny cards. The scarecrow looked in amazement at the person who just floated through the top of the car. He then noticed the other who was talking to them earlier was gone, Hexidecimal. "You notice where the other person made it off to?"

After the sudden commotion died down, Gabrian settled back onto his new seat, making sure to forcefully fall back on it, rattling the back of it just a touch before focusing his gaze out the window. He hadn't really caught where they were headed, actually, and he wasn't entirely sure if that was a good thing, or a bad thing. He was hoping for the former, though he wouldn't have bet his pumpkin seeds on it, seeing as how they had just started the journey a while ago and he'd already seen chaos erupt within the the car.
"Well," he murmured, "That was decidedly strange," turning away from the window, he regarded the other students around him, noting that they were mostly all... ghouls, actually. Huh, how about that, "I left my pets back at the dorm room, myself. I didn't think they'd be able to handle this trip with ease. Specially my Lepus."
He had, in fact, noticed Johan clapping for him when he'd finished playing, and the Nix managed another ghost of a smile, finding it pleasant that his music actually soothed the others. He wouldn't have minded if the quiet boil had taken to join them - then maybe he wouldn't feel like he was hogging the attention of so many ghouls, when he really initially hadn't meant to. On that note... perhaps he wouldn't mind performing for others, if they asked politely, "A demon gathering, huh?" he drawled out as he turned to look at Sin; the fact she was a Succubus didn't seem to make him treat her any differently than he had treated Alcyone or Junko, but perhaps... that had a lot to do with the fact his sister was a Succubus herself. He was used to dealing with such demons, on a daily basis, no less, "Will there be food? Perhaps some nice drinks?" it was pretty obvious that if the answers to those questions were 'yes', he'd probably allow himself to be forcefully dragged to such a gathering, "Sounds like something my sister would enjoy, actually."
His gaze slid over to Danny and he arched a brow at the blunt boil. He rather hoped he hadn't looked like that when he'd first arrived; not that there was anything wrong with the boil aside from... well, hormones. Gabrian couldn't begrudge him, though he did send a small smirk his way almost instinctively as he crossed his arms over his chest. After all, he was already seated here, "Gabrian," he told the boil, "Though I'm clearly not a ghoul," he paused then, shivering slightly before frowning, "Has anyone noticed the fact the temperature seems to have dropped in here?" or no, perhaps that wasn't quite right... it was something else, but the demon couldn't quite put his finger on it, "It's rather uncomfortable, I dare say," and something told him it had a lot less to do with the cold, and a lot more to do with... something else.

Jamais watched as the ghost handed her a card. Her ears were perked forward again, curiously turning over the card and reading it before stuffing it in a shirt pocket so it'd be easy to find for later.
She stretched for a second until Levis crouched down looking around the seats, Jamais watched her curiously. "Didn't actually pay attention, to er... the flying bloody hand..." The demon muttered, looking back towards the front. "Anyone see where the guy that told us to sit down went?"
Normally she didn't care, but it was a little odd he wasn't there now. She had half expected someone to come yelling at them by now for being 'rowdy'. She shrugged and shifted in her seat till her legs were across it. No one had sat by her so she figured she might as well get comfortable. She didn't really know anyone either so that didn't help matters. However, she couldn't really get comfortable with the eerie feeling. The demon frowned, what was wrong here?

[School made me miss A or B. xD]
While the old man ghost person was only on about picking between A and B, the Spider Demon started to zone out; there was such a commotion, and nobody to control it. Furthermore, it might be noisy, but now that she was in her own little world, she couldn't help but feel a little sleepy... As her eyelids drooped, Lizzy heard a most familiar voice call her name, jolting her awake. Suppressing a yawn, she struggled to find the source of the voice among the sea of faces. When she did, however, her face lit up and she sprung up from her seat almost immediately.
"Alcie!" She made her way across to where the Water Demon was seated, leaning in to give her a quick hug (she was so glad to not be alone for the whole trip) before settling down into the empty seat beside her. She soon realized, however, that Alcie was surrounded by other people - people she kind of recognize, but was unfamiliar with. Feeling just a little more self-conscious, she ran her fingers through her hair to tidy it before turning to face Alcyone.
"Is it just me, or had the person in charge of us been gone for an unusually long time?"

Having watched from her seat the entire time Sarias grimaced at the poor saps doing the ghosts bidding. She wasn't about to take orders from a crazy fool, and a mini pet master? Ha! That bumbling idiot?! She doubted it very much. But at least it gave her time to view the other students. She had tried to pick the cab with the least students involved, she had sang all the way to the pick up point and meditated quietly to herself until the ghost had shown up, she was just about holding in her 'crazy' and although her ectoplasm rippled with nerves every time someone came that little bit too close she was coping very, very well. Though she knew she would of course.
Having only started the academy a few weeks ago she had yet to settle into the classes, taking one or two here and there but had distinctly not spoken to anyone yet. Not that the nerves had gotten too much, just no one was worth her (very un-dead) breath. But since she was now stuck on this train and albeit without a guardian for the time being she might as well make herself know.
"Where is our guardian? If this is the sort of staff this place hire it's no wonder the grades are so bad." She stated to know one in particular, the first too commence in conversation with her would be the oh so lucky winner of her presence for the rest of this boring train ride.

Christof was still trying to catch a sly glimpse of Sin before the startled voice in the seat just behind him made him jump. He turned, hands raised and ready to be apologetic if he stole someone's seat, but the sight of Amrita made him freeze in place. Those hands! That didn't look right at all- his brows furrowed as he unabashedly reached forward to take each wrist in his own mismatched hand, his left's monstrous thick yellow nails somewhat gently scraping for seams. Obviously someone must have put this poor ghoul together wrong!
When the ghost handed him his card he paused, glancing up from his study of those strange backwards limbs to politely take it, look it over once or twice and then absently tuck it into his pocket. There were more serious matters at hand here- predominantly Amrita's.

The hunchback seemed rather shaken that Johan had been looking at him. Rather odd, considering the boil looked like he had the strength to snap Johan in half if he wished. A peal of laughter from the alluring Succubus drew the hunchback's attention, and Johan was amused at his reaction (even if his face seemed frozen in neutrality). It was rude of Johan to stare, though, and since the hand the fellow wanted back was in some danger of being made off with by a peculiar ghoul prattling on about it being a Wishing Hand, Johan decided to retrieve the severed limb.
Tucking the book back into his clothing, he stood up and followed the line of blood down the car. He found the hand tucked behind one of the seats near the door leading to the next car, and sacrificed one of his handkerchiefs in order to pick it up without getting blood on himself. Grimacing, he stood back up and glanced out the window towards the next car. The other students were talking about it, and Johan had to admit that he, too, was anxious to know where their chaperone had gone. Turning to go back, he also wondered what was on those cards the strange ghost had given out. Perhaps one of the recipients would let him look at theirs?
The hunchback was sitting next to a partially decomposed girl who appeared to be backwards. Johan nodded to her courteously, trying not to stare at her twisted hands as he passed her, and held the bloody parcel out to the hunchback. "You vere looking for this?"

Amrita gave another small squeak when she found her wrists taken my large hands; hers were small anyway, this body clearly belonged to a child. All she could do was stare between his rather focused expression to the way his fingers grazed her wrists. W-what was he doing! There weren't any stitches! She wasn't a patchwork!
Upon Christof's further inspection it would be noted that the only backward thing about her happened with just her hands and feet. Her elbows and knees still bent as a normal person's should, it was strictly from the wrist and ankle down that had the mixup. Upon even closer inspection it should be noted that her feet were backwards; but as her knees were pulled to her chest, it was only her heels that showed; her toes were adding to the seat cushion, apparently.
"U-Um..." She managed to get out awkwardly, shifting umcomfortably in her seat. She wanted to pull her wrists back, so badly...but she couldn't, that would be rude. Besides, he was probably a lot stronger than she was! "Th-That's normal...for me, I swear!" The poor, wide-eyed creature was too distraught over the hunchback's actions to realize that both a ghost and a fellow student had come across them.

If only he had remembered the kit tucked under his bed- quick work with a bone-saw and a few stitches and she'd be properly assembled again. It must have been sloppy craftsmanship that would let a creature off of their workbench with the hands and feet attached like that! Suddenly the young man who had been watching him before was back again, addressing him. Christof was quick to straighten up, letting go of only one of Amrita's wrists to point to the other incredulously. He spotted his discarded extra hand in the young Boil's grasp and brightened up, finally releasing the poor undead girl to retrieve his extra part with a thanking nod. Turning back to her again, though, he merely used this as a prop to illustrate how her hand SHOULD have gone, miming a sawing motion before flipping the corpse hand to show her what he had in mind with perhaps a bit too much enthusiasm, glancing to Johan for approval.

Winston looked up from his struggles against his scarf as a couple students started to ask where their supervision had gone off to. He hadn't even noticed. Then again, when you're trapped to your seat with a piece of cloth that was also firmly around your neck, a missing anything is far less important and noticeable. He nearly turned himself upside down, reaching under his seat with one hand, fiddling between the seats with the other. Finally something clicked and he whipped back, loosing the cloth that had been tugging around his neck and wrapping the end around once more to keep it out of the way. Now free he took the time to look around, raising himself onto a knee in his seat. Obviously he knew no one in this car, but it was to be expected. His tail, or what was vaguely visible and not fading into smoke, wagged casually.
Indeed, the supervision was gone, leaving just them. He was honestly surprised the car hadn't broken into chaos. But it made little difference, with his scarf newly freed and his ability to roam returned, he all intentions to mingle. Large dog ears angled upward, betraying his excitement. It was always hard to get involved with conversation and meet and greets when he'd been absent for the original groups that formed to talk.

Saved by a stranger! Sure she just realized that there was another boil there, but hey, whatever got her wrist free! The first one to be released snapped close to her torso faster than any elastic could have. Her gray eyes was moving rather quickly from the hunchback boil to the other one, occasionally stopping on the extra limb. What was going on?! She hadn't seen the Hunchback toss his hand, so to her...this was just weird. Her other hand snapped back to her body just as quick as the first one had, though this time she folded her arms across her chest, trapping them between the hole in her torso (luckily covered by a sari), and her knees.
Next she stared at his hands and his prop, watching him do...whatever he was doing. Could the boil not talk? Was that why he was so silent? It had to be. So then...what was he trying to suggest? She thought long, she thought hard, but...she didn't quite get it.
"I...I'm sorry but I...don't...understand?" The longer she spoke the quieter she became, chewing on what was left of her halved lip.
