Welcome to Gaia! ::

And just like that, Freya and Kettil had moved on, the witch raising one gloved hand to wave after them.
"I want a dance with the both of you before the night is over!" She shouted at them, only to blink twice and rise up on tip toe. "I mean! That is to say, I want a dance with Freya and a separate one with Kettil! Unless you would like a threesome, but I have promised that particular adventure to Hel first!" Here she lowered back to her heels to smirk most devilishly at the mentioned ghoul. All the terrible jokes were to be made and Belladonna was blaming all of it on the fact that Hel had decided to dress so dashing.
But the smirk turned into a laugh as the witch looked up to Mot.
"I think you and Kettil would make an excellent tangoing pair! Perhaps I shall dare him later on. Though I think a waltz might be better for you two, Freya is more the tango-type of ghoul." And then Belladonna dared to wink at Mot because look he was really nice and she liked him and his cute hair tie. There was little else to say because Hel dragged the witch off to the food table, along with little Helmut as well. Not particularly hungry just yet, she was content to watch with a bright smile and a flapping hand as she prattled on and on.

"When the next song starts I want a dance. With each one of you!" The witch announced, pointing first at Helmut, then Mot and finally at Hel.
"I want a dance with Mot, as well! Please of course! Hopefully your ghoulfriend will not mind. Is she here yet, by the by? I haven't a clue where my boilfriend has gone off to, but he is helping run this whole thing so that is understandable..." It didn't mean that she wouldn't pout for two moments before she laughed at herself.

Serafina was, admittedly, mentally a bit upset that Steffani agreed that Serafina should go. She was hoping to hang out with her friends, after all, but she was supposed to be polite, and being polite would be leaving this ghoul to her boil of a date. Even if she felt like someone was taking her friend's attention away from her--Serafina knock that off!

She needed to get to work anyway.

Serafina was being absolutely ridiculous.

Get it under control.

Possessiveness was not a good trait.

Besides, Steffani suggested going on rides later! And she wanted to get to the rides at some point. Besides, maybe giving Steffani some time alone with her date would allow them to get to know each other better. That was important. They were dates, after all, even if they weren't actually dating per se. And she knew it was polite to leave the two dating people to their date. It was silly to force otherwise. In fact, it was rude, and she'd probably just end up a third wheel anyway. The smile was back in her eyes, and she nodded, straightening herself out and giving a wave.

"I need to get back to work," she chirped, gesturing behind her. "So I'll see you scarelings later. Have fun!" With a wave, Serafina disappeared back into the crowd, seating herself where she could get a nice view of what was going on.

Zel allowed the other boil to cling to him, pulling him into a boil-hug and awkwardly patting his back. "Hey now, hey... It's gonna be okay Tavi." He chuckled a bit and ruffled the smaller boil's hair again. "Wanna go get something to eat, maybe hit the midway and rock some games?" He chuckled, nudging the other boil in the side a little with an elbow. "Come on, it'll be fun... Boils before Ghouls right?"[

Would he like to be hanging out with Amarus right now? Sure. But Tavi needed a friend and Zel knew he was new and probably didn't know a lot of people. He'd been there - he knew how much that sucked. Jack - he was still there for the most part. Most of the people he knew he'd not even seen tonight and he wasn't one to really approach others - so it had been a night of creature watching for the most part. Not that he minded - it gave him a bit of insight into the school and its student body.

'Well, what-cha say Tavi? Want to have fun at Prom regardless of your rough start?"

Alexander had joined in with him, so obviously he was an amazing dancer. But really, this was all just simply too subdued. He had seen some moves and now was his chance to make use of them. "Come Alexander, our bodies belong to the night!" He flung his arms up, glitter raining around him with that final exclamation, before looking back at Alexander. "I believe the phrase is 'I am going to rock your world."

At that he went into a full resting stance. He was completely still, looking toward the ground, head beginning to move to the beat of the music. Then, he began to dance anew, pouring his energy into the movements.



----------------

Dancing was probably not Soren's thing, he could feel a beat and move to it, could do all sorts of things that would probably just look like they should be done unclothed, but he would make an effort. "Teach me?" He asked, a suggestion that was probably a better idea than he wanted to admit.

It was hard to focus on dancing, but every moment they stayed seated the more he would want to just escort her back to his abode. So when she moved, smiling at him, he waited a mere moment before slipping his arm under her knees and below the metal cage, other arm supporting her back, and standing with her in his arms. Once up he carefully set her down, waiting for her to have her feet under her before offering his arm to her, so she could lead him to the dance floor.

And like most things he did, it looked like Lou's ploy just... Wasn't going to work. Instead of being rewarded by an upskirt view, his eyes were assaulted by plumbers crack.

Yeah. It was time to let this one go. Cringing, the boil covered his poor peepers as lumpy gnome retrieved his cards, holding out his hand blindly to receive them. "Thanks, but you should be warned that crack kills." And with that he turned and almost tripped. Oh right. Time to take hand away from eyes.

Though, it would seem impeccable timing was on his side. Just as his fingers moved away from his face, a view that could sink one thousand ships struck him like an iceberg.

Fashionably clad feet rushed to the scene of Bella and Hel, ignoring just about everything else for the time being. Nothing else was this important, frankly. "Holy s**t! How does the overall mass of your two racks in such close vicinity NOT cause some sort of black hole?!" His gloved hands covered his cheeks as he looked from one pair to the other, the very image of childish joy. He was like a little boy who couldn't decide which action figure looked cooler at the toy store.

The small baku had arrived slightly ("slightly") late to the party, having spent most of yesterday and today working with other students to provide some of the food for the event. Although they had managed to finish everything at a reasonable time, taking a shower and getting herself ready had taken slightly longer than she had anticipated.

Still, Xiu had somehow managed to make it, pink eyes wide with excitement as she took in the sight of all the students and horsemen who were milling about. Unsurprisingly, as it seemed to be her tradition by this point, the ghoul was carrying a rather large black camera in her hands, occasionally lifting it as she strode in to snap pictures of either her surroundings or some of the dancers.

Looks like everyone is having fun, She mused, the corners of her lips curving upwards into a smile, As always, the student council managed to do a great job. Now then, there were a couple of familiar faces in the crowd--perhaps now would be a good time to go greet some of them.

Tempting as letting him carry her off to the privacy of his hut may have been, they hadn't gotten all dressed up just to eat tarts. His request had dark features softening into something less aggressive, mismatched eyes blinking once before she smiled, nodding. "Of course."

He scooped her up, and she grabbed for neck as his arms went beneath her knees and behind her back, momentarily startled as he got to his feet before she realized what he was doing and relaxed against his chest. He set her down, and she held onto his arm as she made sure she had her balance in the heels. She preferred to wander about bare footed, though she was no stranger to the little wedges that gave her an extra few inches.

Not that those inches did anything to help how delicate she looked beside the guardian.

The mare lead him towards the dance floor as one song ended and another began. One with a much softer tempo that would be an easier introduction then the fast paced sway of hips she'd noticed some of the students employing. Turning, she slid her fingers into his, then guided his other hand to the small of her back before placing her own on the smooth warmth of his arm. It was an easy melody, so she a simple sway, a subtle rotation, would do just fine. She didn't require him to be an amazing dancer. It was enough for her that he was here, doing whatever he could to ensure that she had a wonderful night.

Nergui mouthed a silent 'thank you' up to him as they moved.
