Vaudrey was not exactly pleased to be having class in such a....very....interesting place...(he was not scared he was not scared he was not scared -) but, well, this was Amityville and it was Very Important that he make a good impression in his Very First class.
Which unfortunately probably wouldn't happen because as soon as the sphinx climbed onto the web, something bounced into him - or rather, someone - and Vaudrey promptly went flying.
Oops.

AIM just crashed on me and won't come back up. ;~;
Torsten didn't see Mellow at first but his ears perked as they caught a whisper of his voice. The youth's head snapped around looking for the other boil but Mellow had already started his way up the tree. Not seeing him his small shoulders sorta slumped but then he looked up and...There was Mellow.
"Mellow!!" Torsten's happy little chirp of the name would have one thinking he wasn't at all as old as he was. Torsten looked to the tree Mellow was closest to, finding it suitable he leaped up to the lowest branch. His levitation kicking in to aid his balanced when he landed. It was something of note that Torsten was able to stand on most of the branches he climbed. A testimate to his small stature as he reached the top. Smiling brightly at his friend. "You came to class?"
He was excited and happy to see the other boil. Don't ask him why exactly, he just was.
Rojo paused—very reluctantly—and stared at the displaced sphinx. On the one hand he was so magnificently sorry to have bounced into someone. On the other, this accidental mishap had stopped his own bouncing, and that would not stand. And on the third hand, the way the boil had spun through the air had frankly been hilarious.
"Oh my! Are you all right, my friend?" he asked, his tone driving home his exaggerated worry better than his immobile skull ever could. He crouched closer, legs used to bouncing a bit wobbly at the sudden change in movement. "Would you like to bounce with me? You will forget all of this falling business almost immediately!"

Though the holes between each filament was so small, Mellow had been staring at it with caution. When the familiar voice called, the blank cold face warmed up into a small smile. The demon was about to answer Torsten's question when the web suddenly bounced. The tiny light boil forced to lift up and down with the springy giant web. "I-can't-skip-classe-s-s-s-s."
Hearing how weird his voice became, he frowned and sent a glare towards the skeleton with fancy wear happily hopping on the web. He looked similar to TK but more.....crazy?
He shifted his attention back to the dragon friend. "Hello Tor, it's great to see you." Torsten would know the slightly change of attitude when Mellow was with him. The demon felt something warm in his heart though he didn't understand it well. He felt his heart throbbing a bit faster than normal and he wanted to touch the dragon. "Mind I sitting next to you?" With Torsten, he could throw his mother and her spies off his mind and enjoyed some peaceful moments.
One could watch Wrex's eyes dilate at the treats, and he leaned forward to snap at all in range--and then proceeded to slurp them up, ribbon and all, to eat.
But he couldn't quite get on the web yet: what if someone else needed help?
What if they also had treats??
Motioning at the ghoul (one sec one sec!), Wrex wrapped his legs around the branch and hung upside down, grinning at the students still on the ground before snapping his jaws and wiggling his hands and tail.
Anybody want to ride the Wrexpress?

feel free to torment
Torsten looked at the one bouncing on the web like he was a new kind of idiot. In a sense he was. Logic told you spiders lived on these things. Spiders, here. Might not be so small or skittish like spiders were on his island. He reached out taking Mellow's hand before pulling the taller boil next to him on the side of the web. Where there was less bounce and more stillness. He sat next to the other and naturally curled his tail around the both of them. He leaned slightly into the boil while watching the other members. Head tilting at the one who bounced the web. Then returned his attention to the other boil.
"I don't mind at all. I was hoping to see someone that I knew at one of these things." he said honestly. He was glad it was Mellow he saw, then again. He didn't know many here but he would try to get to know them. Well...he watched the bouncer...some.
She knew she shouldn't be out here. It's too dark and gloomy... A good book and being on her bed was far better than this.
But Damaris didn't know anything that would help her in defend herself if she were ever to get into a situation.
So a 'Defense Class' sounded like a good idea, right...?
Her hand absent-mindedly clamped down on one of her ears as she wandered in the direction that the arrows in the forest were pointing in. It was lucky that they were as large and bright red as they were.
That was until she reached one that pointed up. Up...? She tilted her head upwards for a moment before looking around. She squinted against the darkness but she heard others. Whether they were friend or foe, she wasn't sure. And she didn't really want to find out.
Well, if 'up' was were she was to go, she would go!
She readied herself with a quick crouch and, as quick as a whip, she sprung up into the air and up onto one of the branches that hung over her from a few feet up from her. Though she may have gotten up there, her scrambling hug of the branch was a clear indicator that her landing hadn't been thought out that well.
But she was up in the tree!

It had really been quite impressive how far Vaudrey had flown.
Dragging himself back up, feathers askew, he clambered back to his feet - and then promptly fell over again, because the web was ridiculously unsteady and he was bouncing around like a bouncy ball in a most ungraceful way. Vaudrey flipped his cloak off of his head.
"Er," he said, trying to find words. "Bouncing? Why are you - are we supposed to bounce? Did I miss something about bouncing?!"
He was suddenly quite disturbed about not being informed about this lack of information. Was he already doing the class wrong?!

"No, we are supposed to..." Rojo leaned so far back that he fell to one knee as he held his arms out in front of him in horrible mimicry of a karate block. "...defend! Bouncing is just fun and a good way to pass the time!" He cast a slow, blank stare at the pair of smallish boils as they scuttled off to another corner of the web. They would not be having fun. He could tell.
"I am Rojo! Are you new?" He had never seen the boil around before, but that didn't mean anything. Amityville was a very big school. "Don't worry about classes here! All of the teachers are very nice!" Nevermind that they were on a giant spiderweb in the middle of the Forbidden Forest. "I am sure we will all be smarter when we get back to our dorms." He nodded solemnly.

All that bouncing seems to have attracted some attention.
The hiss and clicks were the only indication that they were there. They fell from the trees, or they crawled up the branches, and they lingered around the edges of the giant web. There were dozens of them, of all shapes and sizes, but only the big ones - 8 to 12 feet - actually climbed onto the edge of the web and stilled there. They did not advance, nor did they come anywhere near the students - there was a wide berth of web between the edges they sat on, and the middle, where the students had congregated.
If a student was just coming in, however, the spiders would skitter away from the edge that they had to climb up on. It seems as though the spiders have no intention of attacking, but they did not seem keen to leaving, either.
They simply..
waited.

The more the skeleton bounced, the more worried Mellow was for the chance of a filament to break and they all free fell towards the ground. The web was at a high place and a gentle wind blew over it will make it sway at the least motion. His head in a nice green tilted towards Torsten's side, even his ears inclined in that way while his tail delightfully swung behind him.
He might be blushing but he didn't have a mirror that he could look at. "This class.....is about defense, right? I wonder who will have class on a spider web......" The demon mused, then put a hand onto the nodding dragon's cheek. "Don't fall asleep, Tor. We're not at a safe place."
Looking at the skeleton's side, he was glad the Sphinx who seemed to be nice had stopped it. The skeleton has a loud voice that Mellow couldn't not paying attention to. Alright, it wasn't bad to observe creeple safely from a distance as pastime. He made a big yawn, the equine demon had a healthy sleeping habit, it was also close to the sleeping time for the rural boil.
Suddenly, his ears caught something and twitched. He turned to check and his eyes widened at what he saw. He immediately shook Torsten whether he was falling asleep or not and stood up to stare at them with watchful startled eyes.
They didn't move or attack, but who knows when they would! The anxious demon trapped himself over and fell onto the web with a bounce. He quickly grabbed Torsten's hand and ready to flee with him. "S-Ssssssspiderss......so big....." They were everywhere.
Now, he wished the skeleton could bounce them off like how he did to the Sphinx.

Vaudrey wasn't quite certain what the boil was talking about, but he would take it anyway, clambering to his feet once more as he attempted to stand. This time, he at least managed to stay vertical, and he swiped hair out of his eyes with a wide smile.
"I am Vaudrey!" he said proudly. "And yes, I am new, and you are quite right, I am certain we will all be smarter by the end of this - !"
A high pitched, undignified squeak escaped him, and a second later Vaudrey was attempting to skitter backwards away from the creepy crawly things currently now on the edges of the web. He would have tried to hide behind the skeleton boil, but this would not have been smart, so instead he just straightened and tried to look impressive.
("Tried" being the operative word.)
"W-what are those?" he asked, a little too cheerfully.
Torsten was indeed nodding off, content in the warmth of the other boil. Once he saw the spiders however the small dragon was up and away from the edge where he was perched. Just...holy crap how BIG WERE THEY?!? He curled a little into Mellow's sides as his tail curled around them. There was a slight tremble to his tail tip as the small dragon was not a fan of spiders.
Specially when they looked like they could eat him.
"L-l-look what you did!!" he squeaked out to the skeleton. He glanced back to a elegant looking sphinx. Though right now the youth had the same face he did.

Tor would run...but class...

Well, that wasn't what Damaris was expecting this.
A giant web? She clambered onto the branch she had been hugging and looked up to see the many sparkling threads above her. Damaris took another chance and jumped up to the branch that seemed closest to the web.
Upon testing the web with her hoof, even with several others on the web, she didn't completely trust it, did she finally step out onto the web. It was... Bouncy. Very elastic... Strange.
Her wide eyes continued to take in her surroundings, not noticing the arachnids til the very last moment. A light 'Eep!' escaped her before her hands flew up and covered her mouth, a light tremor wracking her entire body.
Mellow was the type that couldn't scream when he was scared, he kept on taking deep breathes one after another. They quickly moved towards the middle where it seemed to be further from the giant spiders, jacking, he hoped they didn't look like a tasty meal for them.
He grabbed Torsten's hands in his tightly and his lungs raised up and down rapidly as he breathed in and out heavily. He didn't dare to move his eyes from the spiders and his tail swept nervously behind.
"If you summon them with the bounces, you should dismiss them." He said coldly to the skeleton with a blank but pale face. "Spiders obviously," he turned to the Sphinx and answered his obvious question. "You haven't seen one before?"
