Malodore had to smother a laugh at Christof's performance - the patchwork's gyrations were enough to keep it distracted from Riley and Junko's conversation, at least! Poor Christof. Hormones were such problematic things...

It was true, they were indeed quite late, the two ghouls had spent most of the time at Siddie's room as Siddie dressed up. Sammy spent most of the time playing with the schinks and huffing at her date. Siddie was sweet and all, but sometimes her habit of dressing up took far to long for Sammy. Still it was better then going to the dance alone. Right?
So as soon as they arrived Sammy went to wave to Riley only to have Siddie drag her towards the dance. "S-siddie a dance contest!? We just got here!" Stumbling along the smaller ghoul she started to glance about rather nervous at the fact they would soon be standing in the middle of the party dancing. She hadn't even taken her jacket off yet!

"But if we don't sign up now, we won't make it," Siddie pointed out. She ducked her head a little and scuffed the toe of her shoe against the floor. "I just want to try it ... I really kind of wanted to see you dance. Please?

ROUND 2
She wouldn't lie. She was very surprised by Gabrian's current mood. He was waaaay more happier than usual. Not that this was a bad thing. It was just throwing the she-wolf off. In a good way. Seeing him enjoying this so much with the night barely started was helping her not worry so much about being in this crowd of people in that dress.
Well, this was almost true. When he first commented on her tail, her cheeks lit right up. LW loved her tail. And to be complimented on said tail was a sure way to get her to blush and stammer. But then Gabe also commented on her dress, saying that it was lovely and he enjoyed it. Thus her cheeks were already crimson. "I-I'm glad...you l-like it." He twirled her and she was surprised to find she enjoyed twirling with the dress on. It was...fun. "Thank you."
Said tail swayed with her body in time with the step he was leading them in. When he twirled her, it curled ever so slightly around her legs until she was back to having her light hold against his shoulders. Only once did she falter in her step, stumbling and leaning in to him to hide her face while she laughed. "What?!" LW tilted her head up. "Well...I am very much glad you are not drunk. And I am not complaining about your joyful mood. I rather like it."
It would be obvious for him to tell by the feel of her body that she was very relaxed and enjoying this. A warm laugh bubbled up out of her when he dipped her. Why hadn't she ever made him go dancing with her before this? It was so much fun! And he was a great dancing partner. "Me?" LW slowed her pace down even more and tilted her head a littl. "You want me to?" Glancing to the side for a moment while she thought, she spied Ren and Alessa not far off. Turning her face towards the nix's, she grinned. "I think I can manage that." The she-wolf all but purred softly. Hey, she was a dancing fiend, alright? Raising up on her toes, she placed a soft kiss on his lips before stepping closer and moving them in a step not much faster than what they had been doing. Just...closer together now.
Then she heard her bestie's voice. It all but halted her in her tracks and hot violet eyes shot a challenging look towards the gryphon. Oh no. No no no. She couldn't let him win at dancing! He'd never let her live it down. But of course, surprise surprise. That was the distraction she needed and she fumbled in the step she tried to pick back up.
Her cheeks were hot by this point and she just let her head fall against Gabe's chest so she didn't have to see the smug look in her best friend's face. She just...JACKDAMNIT! Would she ever win against him? It wasn't fair.

ROUND 2
"You're most welcome. After all, it's quite true; your tail is lovely," he twirled her around and grinned as he watched the way her tail flew in a spin around her body, her dress hitching up and then falling back into place, "While I love your usual clothes, this outfit has it's advantages, see?" he chuckled lightly as she spoke of his mood, "Let's just say I turned the tables on the gryphon, that I feel most proud of my accomplishment and let's leave it at that, shall we?" he offered her a small wink just as she raised herself up to give him a kiss. Amusingly enough, despite responding to it, he couldn't help but smile against her lips. Of course, it was right around then that Ren and Alessa passed by their sides, the gryphon issuing a challenge which Gabrian met with a mild eye roll.
Nope. Sorry Ren, it didn't quite matter what it is they decided to do, as far as challenges went, because... he'd won the war earlier tonight. No defeat would be able to make his earlier victory any less sweet than it'd been.
As such, the nix was clearly much less fussed than LW over the small bit of taunting. Which meant that unlike her... he did not falter in his step. He made sure that the other boil was looking at him before raising a finger to his lips in a 'shhhh' sign, obviously indicating Ren to leave it. He could taunt the poor wolf later, but not now, "Aww... come on now, LW, don't be like that. You did much better than HE did. His only saving grace is that Alessa is a much better dancer than he is," he raised his hand and tucked a finger under her chin, lifting it up until she met his eyes, "Now come on, smile for me," a pause as he let go of her chin, lowering his hand back to his side, "Let's get off the dance floor before I trip and make a fool of us, yes? My luck today can only hold for so long."

ROUND 1
Of course Sammy could say nothing to the face Siddie was making, she always had been good at pouting, which was a part of the reason Sammy tolerated waiting this long to get to the dance. "S-see me dance?" She would have blushed if possible, maybe she did even, sometimes her blood managed to shift a bit, but it was always such a faint thing. "Alright, but, only if I lead...."
Tugging Siddie now she slid into position, one hand on Sammy's waist, the other taking her hand rising it up. Where Sammy learned to waltz was a mystery indeed as she started to turn the two of them about the dance floor, her eyes closed refusing to acknowledge everyone probably staring at them. Oh god why was she doing this!? She had planned to dance a bit but not like this in front of everyone!

A tear managed to fall when her partner caught her in a tight embrace, keeping her from further embarrassment. It would have been so much worse if she had hit the floor.
Her father had been wrong. Undeads weren't cold, lifeless creatures without a care in the world. Christof had been nothing but good to her. He even dressed up for her. He seemed to want to have fun with her, include her. Hadn't he been the one to sign them up in this contest in the first place? And ask her out on a date? Otherwise she'd have been alone in her room, sullen and jealous of all the ghouls that got to go. And it had been fun! So what if her expensive shoes broke? She kicked them off her feet in a flash of anger and stood barefoot, which brought her down to around the same height as her partner.
She kept her arms around his neck though she did push her body off his so they weren't as close. What she was doing was pure madness. Maybe it could be blamed on the embarrassment she had just suffered, maybe it could be blamed on the charm and care that he was showing her, or perhaps it could even be blamed on breaking a 200 silver pumpkin seed pair of shoes.
She turned her face towards him, staring into his mismatched eyes while contemplating the severity that her next move could bring. Oh, what the hell. F**k the haters! F**k her father! This was their night! Leaning forward, she brought her mouth to his and gave him a quick, awkward but somewhat passionate kiss. Were those stitches she felt? And what was that.. taste? Oh well. There was no turning back and honestly, she really didn't care.
Mimic wobbled nearby, clearly displeased. It would be so easy to eat the undead boil. It would only take about a week. He that was known as Christof wasn't good enough for his mistress. The little box snapped at the air in frustration before bouncing over to pick up the discarded shoes in those same jaws. Morrigan would not want them thrown away. Surely she would want to send them off to be fixed and she would be happy that he was so thoughtful.

ROUND 1
Siddie gave Sammy a bright smile and leaned in close to Sammy's ear as they got out onto the dance floor. "Thank you," she said softly, and kissed the other ghoul's cheek.
Waltzing was fairly easy, and Siddie wasn't the type to get stage fright; she thought back to dance lessons, pleased that Sammy was taking the lead for this. She hadn't learned the boil's part of the dance, after all.

Smerdle ROUND TWOWest continued gallivanting around the dance floor, his beginner's luck starting to fade the longer he went on. He still didn't fall, but not a one of his moves was remotely mambo worthy. Hell, they weren't even suitable for a hoedown. He looked down at his partner, then smirked and shrugged. "No one seemsta care 'bout us," he remarked. "Ther'all too busy makin' idiots of'emselves." a** kicking would have to wait.
Whatever sentiment was about to come out was silenced as she tripped over the hem of her dress and fell headlong into the dancefloor. She regretted even more that she was a horrible dancer, and now poor West would likely be embarrassed if others noticed as well. She had noticed Gabrian and LW dancing not too far away, and Ren and Alessa also circling near them. Oh, what a mess!

ROUND 2
Everything went well so far, the only flaw was an ever so slight stumble. Did Siddie just kiss her cheek? It was a short stumble hardly anything to notice but to Sammy it felt like she nearly fell face first over Siddie. For a moment her eyes were open watching Siddie in the dance before closing again focusing on the music and the steps. Slowly picking up the pace swaying a bit more naturally now as they danced. Her hand shifted as the second song came up moving into a faster dance. Offering Siddie only a short whisper she continued, "Keep up alright?"
This time they didn't waltz, but rather shifted into a simple Swing. Sammy moving so Siddie could spin about more freely. As they danced she started to watch and she had to admit. Seeing Siddie spinning about was really nice.

ROUND 2
This was getting to be fun. Siddie giggled a little when Sammy told her to keep up - of course she would! She nodded and watched Sammy for cues, going into a quick spin under her partner's arm. Her skirt flared a little, and she spared half a moment to worry about that - it wasn't going to spin up all the way, was it?
Unfortunately, the new shoes hadn't been the best idea, and her moment of inattention was her downfall - literally. The heel of one adorable boot caught on something, who knew what, and she stumbled with a little shriek. Oh, no - and they'd been doing so well -

Sin's eyes suddenly widened as she spotted Morrigan kissing Christof, really getting in there and kissing him! She felt a sudden flood of emotions, she was annoyed and worried and happy and confused all at once. So what if Morrigan was kissing Christof? What business was it of hers who anyone kissed? Except her parents words, their whispered sneers towards demons who dared to associate with undead came back to her. Morrigan was her friend though, and she had met lots of undead and monsters here who were nice, she liked them. Riley liked Malodore after all, but Sin had sort of been judgmental of that too. What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she just stick to it?
She slowly rested her head on Barth's shoulder and tried not to sigh, she suddenly felt her stomach tighten. She didn't care, she just wanted her friends to be happy and if that meant dating an undead or a monster or a ghoul or even a reaper, she wasn't going to be cruel. Besides Christof was perfectly sweet...usually. She slowly smiled and relaxed comfortable with her newfound if not tenuous acceptance.

Alwine looked over at her date and reached over to give his arm a squeeze.
"If you do not mind, I think I will sign up for the dance contest before it is over. I assure you that I have no experience dancing, and therefore I have no wish to humiliate you with it. Please, entertain yourself while I attempt this..." Alwine gave a small curtsy to Jack before walking over to the dance floor.
Nobody puts Alwine in a corner! Sign me up!

ROUND ONE
There was no point to just standing on the dance floor, so Alwine decided to screw her courage to the sticking place and take a few slow steps.
However, after a couple of these steps were taken, Alwine stopped cold. Chills ran up her bandaged arms to her neck, and the haunt nervously rubbed her hands.
"I-- I really shouldn't be out here..." she said to no one in-particular. Were people staring at her? Oh, there was no way she could do this. No way! She shouldn't be out here, out with people looking at her... she was just despicable. It was horrible of her to assume that she could dance well, and by herself at that!
She turned around and phased out of the dance floor, appearing back by the wall where she should be.

For a moment everything was perfect, the first spin was simply amazing. No one seemed to be watching TOO hard and everything was just right. It didn't last though, Siddie's skirt flared, Sammy looked, Siddie slipped, soon they tripped.
Falling.
Before Sammy could act she found Siddie on top of her in a squeaking shriek of shock. This was... not how she planned to end the dance. "I g-guess this means we lost?"
