Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hm..where was Mmur? He shouldn't be too hard to spot, why was she having such a hard time finding him? She thought she caught a glimpse of Jing in the crowd but a young colt approaching her blocked her view for a moment. Eh? Oh..one of the students.

Na'ima's smile was somewhat strained as he bowed to her and asked for a dance.

But...Jing..and Mmur...she needed to return to her dates.

It was times like this she wished for her pipe, and also when she asked herself 'What would Salbei do?'

"...I suppose.." Na'ima held her hand out for the boil to take. "I am Na'ima, a Sage of the Famine clan. And you are?"

"Shhh, we're fine," Etzer murmured softly, his hand sliding down on Uller's waist. He couldn't help but grin, his fingers just mere inches away from the other's tail.

"You look amazing tonight, Uller." Really, he hadn't even been thinking about Xiu, just how Uller looked in his outfit. The frost demon lowered his voice, leaning towards the stag's ear.

"Of course, you'd look better with them off." He was half joking. Only half.

We're ready to swing!
Lead: Calder
Partner: Na'ima

Calder smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Na'ima of Famine clan. I'm Calder, kelpie of no clan, but I hope you won't hold that against me." He took her hand and kissed the back of it, before rising and gesturing to the dance floor.

"What are you doing out here alone, if I may ask?"

Her comment hadn't been an instruction for them to speed up and Maple had to take a moment to correct how she was moving to keep pace with the more jovial ghoul. Her feet were working like they had never worked before and she her arms were going into odd positions to compensate with the nature of the Swing music. Though it was difficult, Maple found herself moving a little on reflex and automatic, or she just stopped thinking.

That was her maybe.

"I l-like yours," she smiled at the compliment of her own boring name, "its v-very un-unique." Was it a nod to the monster's simplistic state of being? How nice that must be.

As Amrita rushed off to join Aymet, Christof's heart seized in his chest. He watched, mournfully, and debated going after her...

Calder's teasing only made the hunchback slouch further. He was a terrible dancer anyway. If the saying didn't offend him, he would have said he had two left feet. He hoped she had fun. Deep breaths.

Dance with Barth? His brows furrowed as he realized he was now alone as Calder ran off to find a partner. He glanced over to where the Sloth was fast asleep at his table and sighed.

He supposed he could go see if the napkins were straight or needed refilling... no one would notice him fussing about there, right? And he could keep an eye on the dance floor.

The she-wolf laughed, tugging at her boilfriend's hair once as they twirled around. "Really? You like it?" She managed to pose while still leading in their dance. "I may or may not have had some fabulous inspiration." LW teased.

"You... You dress like this on a normal basis?" Thrain began, an incredulous edge to his voice. Perhaps it wasn't so awfully farfetched that one of the Famine clan might actually dress like such all the time, especially with all that red, and all those feathers, and... All that... Lack of fabric... "It looks stunning, nonetheless." Compliment: Nailed it.
A great commotion in the central area caught the tall Horseman's attention so that he swiveled his head, and subsequently the Horselady with him, toward the gathering of people. Something being announced about a dance competition? They were expected to dance to this odd excuse of music? Well, if that was the tradition, Thrain decided he should honor it. This was a true blue promenade and he needed to execute them flawlessly.
With a wolfish grin he grabbed the filly's hand and tugged her toward the group of people. She wanted to dance, oh she would get a dance! It didn't at all matter that the two had hardly said five words to each other before all this, Thrain was absolutely pleased to spin this filly around to her heart's content.

He was just... Really exuberant about spinning her... Whoooooppppssss???

Kieran was pretty happy she had made it into the school before prom. She had hesitation in attending since she didn’t know a whole lot of students but instead of playing wall flower or room cushion Kieran had signed up to be part of a blind date. There was a hint of fear of being stuck with some sort of nerdy like figure who just hid in the corner sniffling his nose and avoiding her gaze, but at that point she had been willing to take the risk.

In which she had to say she was rather impressed that it hadn’t let her down, her date Ahm despite being covered completely head to toe in cloth was rather handsome in the mysterious way. Not to mentioned their outfits matched completely in the most perfect manner and he was rather respectable even winning her something at the game booths. Ahm was definitely worth signing up for the blind date and being paired with.

So far everything was going pretty good and the dance floor seemed rather active with other students having fun as they rocked to the beat. Looking over at the food and drink she wasn’t really interested considering a gnome from the game booth kept throwing popcorn at her for her attempt at the Hells Bell.

Grinning she looked at him as she stood on her tip toes to reply, “We can get a drink after a dance or two if we want.” Letting go of his arm she started to dance to the beat making her way out into the floor before waving for him to join.
