Welcome to Gaia! ::

Delusional? Serafina couldn't help her giggles at Steffani's remarks on the boil, placing a hand near her surgical mask as if covering her mouth politely, even if there was nothing to really cover. The remark about knocking someone's head off caused her to quirk a brow, knowing there had to be a story associated with this one. Never let it be said that Serafina didn't love gossip, even if she was no longer as adamant about spreading it everywhere. She'd have to ask Steffani about it later, as she let her eyes dart from Steff to Siku and back again.

She did catch that Siku seemed a bit stumped on the way she reacted to him, and couldn't help a mental snort. Good. Maybe he would think a little bit more before he supposedly couldn't control himself. Boils like that could be a bit exasperating...

But oh, there was a story here! Not his fault, eh? And Steffani was mentioning something about losing a limb...

... Did he knock off a body part?

Serafina attempted to hold back her laughter at that one; she could see where that would be rather, well, inconvenient. Now she would definitely need to know more about this one later...

But Steffani was accepting a dance? A frown formed underneath her surgical mask as something of a stroke of jealousy struck through her. So this demon thought he could just strut in here and steal her friend away while they were socializing? And he wasn't even a date! The nerve; this was her time to talk to her friend, not this boil's! He could get a dance later, when they weren't already talking. Steffani was cringing anyway, right? Which meant she really didn't want to do this?-- wait, who was that?

Serafina's possessive flare-up died before it got the chance to really start, somewhat attention deficit mind taken by the new shiny person showing up. He seemed rather shy. That was rather adorable, Serafina had to admit, and she couldn't help her small giggle at the behavior. So this was Xavier? She glanced between Steffani and Xavier, before chuckling.

"So this is Xavier? I'm Serafina, Steff's friend," she offered, introducing herself to be polite. "No need to be shy."

What hilarious timing on Xavier's part...

Oh she was talking to him she was talking to him what was he supposed to do was he supposed to hug her or give her something or wait was he supposed to dance now what was this about was he supposed to be doing something?!?!?!

Xavier coughed.

Awkwardly.

"Er. Yes," he said, and took her hand gingerly, as though it might explode or something should he touch her. He gave her a small, vaguely halfhearted shake before dropping it again, clearing his throat.

"Er. Yes. Er. A p-pleasure, I'm sure." Except he wasn't sure at all and this was so nervewracking why did he do this to himself. He gave Serafina a sort of terrified glance before mumbling "Xavier Hollow" in a very small voice.

"So. Er. What...do we do now."

Admittedly, Hel was rather amused about how shy Helmut was suddenly acting…but whatever. She’d get over that quickly if she kept hanging around Hel…which totally wasn’t a plan, okay. Hel was trying to get her around to meet creeple so that she could pawn her off later.

Hel just grinned even wider at the witch, and laughed. “Hot huh? I am flattered! But if it is anyone to make collars hot, it is you.” She made kissey lips at the witch. “Dress comes later! I am changing out half way through the night.” She then pushed Helmut even closer to Bella, letting go of the ghoul’s shoulders. “Candlejack, do not act so shy, you little rug rat!” Hel laughed. “Go leech her heat, Bells is very warm too.”

Entering

After having what he considered back luck at the games Monty decided to go back up to the main tent. Stepping inside once again the music and noise echoed all around, he made his way through the crowds to a near by table tucked away in the corner. He pulled out a chair sat down grabbed crayon and started making little doodles in front of him.

Miasma smiled and nodded.
"I feel... a little guilty leaving them cooped up in the closet for so long..." Her... collection of minipets had grown since her small collection of kooeons and her faithful pixie daeva, and with faeons, BB siofras, plossoms, puck kings, shikis... it was getting... quite crowded to be honest. It was a good thing the space inside a closet was infinite (she just has a thing for beautiful butterfly-winged minis, SHE COULDN'T HELP IT)

"I'm sure it is." she beamed, letting Molan lead the way.

[ Exit to games ]

Darren chuckled and allowed himself to be dragged toward the funhouse. He wasn't one to argue usually - and it did rather sound like fun. Fun was something the undead boil was not used to having, but was finding more and more that he rather enjoyed it.

"I'm game for that," He said with a smile, as he followed the monster ghoul out of the main tent.

[Exit to Funhouse]



---

Zel had gotten to Prom later than he'd planned - not for lack of trying. It was just harder to put on his tux than he remembered. Silver-skull headed cane in hand as he entered, he looked around to see if he could spot anyone he recognized. He saw Darren being dragged off by a monster ghoul and chuckled. He hoped the boil had fun - last he remembered of him he was rather shy and mousy.

Pulling out his phone, he shot off a quick text to Amarus before he went looking around for more of his friends.



He was keeping an extra eye out for Rosy - since she still owed him a dance and he planned on collecting.

"Well, your collar is a nonexistent, so forgive me if I am not entirely convinced that I am making anyone's collar hot." Belladonna replied to Hel with a cheeky grin, totally prepared to banter with the Valkyrie for the entirety of Prom. Besides, Mort wasn't around yet so the witch had to bother somebody with her bad jokes! "Oooohh~ A costume change! I had not even considered that! How very clever! Well let me know if you need help with any buttons." And since Mut had gotten a wink, Hel got one too.
But after that the witch turned her attention back to the little ghoul before her. It was quite cheering to see the tiny thing lose a bit of her nervous attitude, so the witch did her best to continue looking as motherly and sweet as possible, all the while idly twirling the parasol over her shoulder.
Unfortunately for Mut, it was all the more difficult for the witch not to just grab her up into her arms for new friend cuddles when the little Wendigo began to speak.
Too. Cute.

"Helmut? Is it alright if I call you Mut, like Hel does? And of course we can be friends! Are you enjoying the school so far? And prom? This must be your first one! Promise me a dance before the night is over?" Normally the onslaught of questions was asked in fast succession, but since the ghoul seemed so nervous Belladonna figured it was best to just... Slow down a little. Besides! There was plenty of time for interrogation! The night was young yet.

[Entering with Ying]

Kiwi was more than a bit nervous as he strode into the big top, the lights and sounds of the carnival somehow strange and eye-catching. He had been nervously picking at the hem of the matching robes all afternoon, admiring how well Ying had crafted them. The tiny corsage of leaves, twigs, feathers he had gathered seemed meager in comparison, but he wanted to make a good impression for the precious mare currently entwined in one arm. Drawing a deep breath, he paused midstep and turned to Ying.

"Um, Ying, before we go ..." He held out the corsage with a sheepish smile. "I do hope you'll like it ... it was all I could manage to find." His smile slowly warmed as he fastened it round her wrist, taking her arm again.

"Now, where would you like to go milady??"
