((Backdated, ic-lly takes places just after Prom))
Despondent and upset over being chewed out by something that didn't even have a jacking mouth, all Tess wanted to do was hang upside down in her room for the rest of her unlife. Or for the remainder of her stay in the school. Whichever was longer. But she was too worked up to be able to keep her mind unoccupied for long and instinctively she righted herself in order to retrieve her skellephone.
She was grateful her parents had decided against cancelling her skellular plan and the interweb subscription. Idly, she began to key in the usual sites she visited, and saw amongst the new questions on Groanspring one from a certain XiuYing.XiuYing on Groanspring S-so! How was your prom experience? Hopefully next year I work up the courage to dance with more of you! :CC
With as much venom as she could muster, Maritess keyed in her response.

Prom was the first big event that Xiu had attended at Amityville, and she certainly hoped it wouldn't be her last. Despite being an ordinarily timid ghoul, she was surprised (and of course, pleased) to find that she had managed to loosen up and have fun for the duration of the dance. Sure, she didn't actually dance all that much, but she did get a couple of awesome pictures! That was good enough for her.
The first thing she had done upon getting home from the prom was type up a Groanspring question for her fellow Amityville peers. It wasn't until the next day--after a long night's sleep--that she woke up to check on the replies. She was pleased to see that so many people had fun, but there was one message in particular stood out to her.halvedoff on Groanspring I was LONELY. My date kept getting spirited away by other ghouls.

Tess was alerted by her squee-mail that she had a response. She had not expected to get one so quickly but she felt... vindicated by it. Ha! The other ghoul must be guilty for her actions and was trying to apologize! When she opened her groanspring account, she did not find the apology she was hoping to get. Well, duh, Tess, what did you expect given your hinting?XiuYing on Groanspring D8 Oh my! That doesn't sound like fun. :C Who was your date?

Xiu jumped when her skelephone suddenly vibrated. A Groanspring squee-mail? Already? The other ghoul must have been online right that moment. She checked the reply, and her expression immediately became one of pure confusion.
halvedoff on Groanspring Oh I'm sure you know him.
That being said, there weren't too many boils that she knew that didn't have dates. Shun had been with Mitsu. Mot had gone with Lizzy, and she and Vaith had gone together. A name did suddenly pop into her head though--the name of a boil she had spoken to at prom, and who she had not seen with a date. Quickly, she typed in a reply and sent it off.

Tess hadn't seen the baku with anyone who wasn't already in the group. Most of the couples were obviously paired up when the winged ghoul arrived. Granted, she did instruct the reaper to meet her at the venue rather than pick her up but the rest of her evening had been either by his side or within his general vicinity. After all, he had gotten her drinks and something to eat and even danced with her! She'd only danced with Mac and while she did sit with the group, it was only because everyone else had decided to take their seats.
But rather than be direct and upfront and tell the other ghoul who her date was, well, Tess had fallen into her old ways. She really shouldn't have been surprised by Xiu's confusion.XiuYing on Groanspring ...um, d-do I? ;; Were you Demi's date, maybe?

While waiting for a reply, Xiu flopped back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling with furrowed brows. Demi had seemed like the most logical choice when she typed that reply--she hadn't seen him with a date--but now that she thought about it...well, for most of the night, she had seen him hanging out with Roch. Roch, that reaper who was most certainly not a ghoul. Though...she and Levi did end up talking to the canine boil at the end of the night.
I-I'm not one of the ghouls who "spirited away" Maritess' date, am I?
Jumping at her skelephone vibrating, she quickly checked the message with fumbling hands.halvedoff on Groanspring Demi? No, but he WAS part of the rather... suggestive congo line of boils.
Frowning, she keyed in her confused response and sent it.

Maritess didn't even bother checking her squeemail when she heard the alert. Instead, heading straight for the groanspring page to read:XiuYing on Groanspring ...I'm sorry, I really don't know who you're talking about. DD8 Um, if I may ask, who spirited your date away? :C

Who was this ghoul, Xiu wondered? And was she in any of the pictures she had taken that night? While waiting for a reply, Xiu got up to grab the photos she had developed, moving back to her bed and spreading them out on her sheets. Before she got a chance to look at them, her skelephone alerted her to a reply.halvedoff on Groanspring Lizzy would know. She borrowed him for a moment too. But at least she ASKED me if it were alright first.
--Oh. Freezing, Xiu picked up one picture in particular, the image of her demoness friend dancing with a particular reaper. "Mr.Grumpyface--no, Mac?" She squeaked aloud, suddenly looking a little concerned. But wait, she thought that Mac went with...no, that made no sense because she went with...
Oh Jack.
Her response to the other ghoul over Groanspring was short and concise, but was true to the exact feelings that she held at that very moment.

There were no words. No words to express the smug satisfaction Tess felt in her moment of triumph upon opening her groanspring and seeing the demon ghoul's reaction. While tone is rarely carried over in the form of text, Maritess liked to think that that was what emoticons were for. And judging from the ones visible on her screen, this XiuYing had no other choice but to admit to her misdeed!A cocky smirk appeared on her lips, one she rarely ever allowed herself to make outside the privacy of her room, as she keyed in her response. And as if to show the other ghoul that she too could fight emoticon with emoticon, she added in her own. Ha! Tess would like to see how the demoness could feign ignorance now!

Xiu seemed a little horrified by all of this. So Maritess' date was Mac? Then that meant that one of the ghouls who had stolen Mac away for the evening had been her--she recalled pulling the reaper away to dance because he seemed uncomfortable at the table. Apparently she had done so right in front of his date.
The reply she received didn't make her feel any less guilty.halvedoff on Groanspring Figured it out, have you? :3
She wanted to confirm who the other ghoul's date was. Throughout this whole exchange, the name of the boil in question had never been brought up--only hinted at. Maybe, just maybe...? The Baku was probably only holding onto blind hope when she sent a message back.

The winged ghoul had been refreshing her groanspring page like crazy since she sent her reply. Clearly, she needed something better to occupy her time with. Finally there was a new message waiting for her. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she read the demon ghoul's response.XiuYing on Groanspring ...Were you...Mac's date?

Xiu was panicking, her tail swishing behind her wildly as she continously refreshed, waiting for a reply. And--there. There is was.halvedoff on Groanspring Well, he did ASK me to the prom so I don't know. You tell me.
Or...or did this Maritess ghoul like spookies? Perhaps she could find out which room she was in and bring her an apology-slash-peacemaking gift!

The winged ghoul stretched her arms out in satisfaction over her head. Especially when she saw the reaction she got from the demoness over on groanspring.XiuYing on Groanspring ;; I'm sorry, I didn't know! I didn't actually know that he had a date, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Mr. Grumpyface to dance!

If at all possible, the ghoul's response made Xiu feel even more terrible than before.halvedoff on Groanspring Oh I don't object to you having danced with him. I just never got the CHANCE to object or agree. Silly me, I suppose it's my fault for being half the ghoul you are.
Maybe talking face to face at some point would be ideal. Or...or maybe not. The thought of meeting Maritess in person honestly terrified Xiu, though she was certain that the other ghoul, like everyone else she had seen so far, probably wasn't a bad person? She was just...angry right now.

Tess had been waiting eagerly, maybe a little too eagerly, for the other ghoul's response. The winged ghoul wasn't usually so catty and didn't normally enjoy being so snide but her temper and pride and a whole slew of things had been building up inside her and this was the unfortunate blow up. Then again, it was rather quiet for a blow up and concentrated only to one individual, whom Tess doubted she'd ever run into again. (Oh Tess, if you only knew.) She felt her skelephone vibrate and immediately refreshed the Groanspring page.XiuYing on Groanspring :C I-I apologize, I really, really didn't know that he had a date. Had I known, I promise you I would have asked first!
