Watching the new victim’s parade on the stage Sarias gave a disgruntled huff as she weighed them up. Alas, no one interesting just yet. She had heard though the scarevine that Gabe was on the chopping board. She liked the idea of bidding on him, from what she knew he was single and willing. She felt they had a real connection during the Spin the Bottle party, the bottle had favoured them and their lips made acquaintance more than once that evening. She would have to wait to see who she was up against though, Gabe was a very beautiful Nix, yes testing at times, but she would forgive him for another one of those luscious kisses.
Turning round to view what was on offer beverage wise she stared at the lack of alcoholic drinks. The teachers were cracking down. Even the illegal moonshine had been swiped; Sarias will have to go back to fermenting fruits on the outskirt of town again. Returning to view the student she spotted Maritess, the ghoul who helped her with her Mytrix problem....well it was no longer her problem now but everyone else’s. She caught her attention with a well aimed wave, her grin unmistakable as her blue curls shadowed her face. Even if she didn’t win, she could have fun at least with her…

Lucien was happily humming a tune this day when he wandered into the auction. There were a lot of people here, many of whom he had not previously been introduced to and it quickly grabbed the air spirit's attention from the happy tune he had been humming. In fact, he stopped entirely just to look around. What was going on? The black haired boil could only tilt his head and look around, rather confused about the whole situation. He looked around for anyone he knew so he could figure out just what was going on.
He was pleased to see not only his band members Jack and Daisuke but his good friend Tybalt and Amrita! He took a moment to consider who to ask and he quickly moved the idea of asking Daisuke to the back of his head. He worried the wisp would accidentally hit him in the head again. He gave Daisuke a wave though before ducking away to reach Jack instead. It took him a moment to float his way over to him but when he was within a good distance he shouted a, "What's this? What's going on here? Why are there so many people?"

Sin watched Christof's little game of charades through narrowed eyes, her fingers were slowly curling into what looked like a fist. She slowly relaxed and flicked her hair back. "Your here for a demon? With horns? Who needs a date?" She arched a brow as if trying to decide if she was really going to buy that or not.
"Fine...take me to see my date then...but if you're lying Christof I won't stop Morrigan from ripping your head off and burying it somewhere far, far away. She took Christof's hand though because he was exasperating but at least he was sweet and harmless. Hmm after she figured this out she had better get back to her room and change, couldn't be traipsing about in an outfit like this.

Riley's answer was rather frustrating as it really didn't answer anything for Jericho. He'd have to try and poke her about it later on. With a huff, he looked over towards Amrita when she approached. While he was rather confused for why she wanted to bid on him, he didn't mind it as much as having Aksaja having the highest bid.
However, he frowned at her sudden outburst after she had apparently received a text from someone. It must have been something embarrassing.
"What?" he asked, furrowing his brow before shaking his head, "Just, whatever."

]“I know so.” She retorted enthusiastically, lifting one hand high above her head and bending it at the wrist with fingers splayed. The rest of her body dipped low and moved in a ‘u’ shape, dropping to the ground before picking back up again on the other side; hip kicked out in Mei’s direction. Having not seen Whisper, the werelemur turned her head and eyed the doll students movements critically. That wouldn’t get her a date! And that was why she had entered in the first place, right? Right. She looked so boring just standing there! Having only just met the ghoul did not seem to stop Natalia from reaching over suddenly and grabbing hold of the porcelain smooth skin of Mei’s hip, making an effort to push it forcefully to one side.
After a second she released the hold with a smile and a light chuckle, promptly the other student softly. “You're so cute, have some fun with this?!” Her tail, which had been ignored and behind her for the majority of the event, came around across her feet and wrapped once while her arms lifted and bent at the elbows, so the palms of her hands rested behind her head.
For a moment, in which she sealed her eyes shut, Natalia could not see the crowd. The lights, however bright, were dark behind her lids and as she took in a swift breath; Whisper's face flashed suddenly. Snapping her citrus gaze wide open, the lemur looked shell-shocked in her attempt to make the sea of students part, and looked for a path that would lead her wondering eyes straight to the Hellhounds...but she could not see her brunette anywhere.

Despite the fact Gabrian's hand had uncurled from around Ren's arm, his gaze sought him out once more; the nix was indeed concerned and it showed upon his features, "Sorry. Didn't mean to hurt you," the words were murmured, but the message behind them was clear; we'll be talking about this later. He didn't feel the need to voice it out, or tell him to wait for him at the end of the auction; he knew where toy find the gryphon even at the worst of times usually.
He hooded his gaze and then mouthed a single, silent word at his friend, "Relax," it wasn't really spoken and as such, it was likely only Ren caught it, seeing as how he was facing the other boil directly as he spoke. It was true he'd been irritated by having been put up for auction, but he understood a joke when he saw it, and since LW hadn't been particularly bothered by the ordeal, he'd figured that... well, it wasn't really that bad. Most of his irritation and anger was for show, for no other reason than the fact it was expected of him; he knew his role in this charade, and if anything, Gabrian felt he was a good actor. The mild irritation was still there, granted, but he'd resolved to have as good a time with it as he could; he couldn't blame his friends for wanting to have a good time, now could he? He'd still play his angry, irritated part, but deep down didn't blame them.
That didn't mean he wouldn't get back at them though. Turn about was fair play.
Once he'd assured himself that the gryphon was doing relatively well, he turned his attention down on LW, whom was both squirming in place and blushing. This greatly pleased him, if the smirk on his features was any indication; in fact, there might've been a fang showing as he extended a hand, as if offering to help her to her feet, "Oh?" he drawled, "You want to place a bet on that?" his expression seemed to voice that placing her pumpkin seeds on that particular bet would be a bad idea, since he had every intention of winning it. Deciding not to wait, he slowly leaned over to grasp her hand, pulling the she-wolf to him, wrapping one arm around her waist casually before leaning in to whisper into her ear, "I propose we try it out later," then he leaned away but kept the ghoul close to his side.
His grip on her was soft and seemed to contradict his words entirely; his words might have been teasing, but he was acting comforting, almost as if he were entirely aware of just how uncomfortable she felt.
It was right around then that he turned to face Riley, blinking in mild confusion, "You mean Ren?" he used the hand that wasn't occupied reaching up to stroke the she-wolf's hair reassuringly to motion at the gryphon, "Oh, no, he's not her boilfriend, but they're very close. Ren would never let anything happen to her," he seemed to hesitate here and lowered his voice down to a small whisper, just barely loud enough for the mindflayer to hear, "He might be lay, but his laziness does not extend to when the going gets rough, Riley. I would trust him with my life, but don't tell him that. He might grow an ego," he sounded almost fond as he spoke before he recovered himself, motioning towards Jericho as he bellowed from the 'stage', "You trust the dragon, yes? He's gruff, but you trust him because you know him," he offered Riley a smile here, "Get to know Ren before you judge him, my dear. You might be pleasantly surprised."
The mindflayer chose that moment to stand finally, her hand curling around his arm briefly and he nodded cordially at her, his gaze returning to LW. As such, he missed part of the chaos, and it wasn't until Riley slumped against him that he turned his gae upon the demoness. He would have asked if she was feeling alright, but her words interrupted him, and he directed his attention at the dragon whom was busy throwing a tantrum, "Someone doesn't seem to be pleased to be here," he drawled,sounding mildly amused, even if he understood how the dragon felt, "You might want to go help him, Riley, before he burns something down," he was so distracted he entirely missed Sarias eying the auction participants.

He didn't want to be here. He didn't want to be here. The more he was on the stage, the more he wanted to find a pile of dirt and dump it on his head. His hair was stupid. His outfit was probably too over the top, certainly too nice, and everyone was going to gawk. He hated dressing up like this. He hated looking like this. He hated all of this. He hated that Jericho kept moving and that swelling panic that would come when the auction ended without attention. It was a hard thing to deal with. He didn’t want the attention, but it would just prove that when it wasn't received, that he would NEVER EVER dress up like this again. In fact, he should think about redoubling his effort in making his hair and his clothes as horrid as possible – which was hard to do when his hair naturally was resistant to much dirt and hard to tangle.
Crossing his arms about his chest as he once again repositioned himself behind Jericho, who seemed to have settled at this point, Calder looked over with large eyes at Chuppi, hoping she would just call the auction off and he could go crawl back to his dorm. Screw the dance. He didn't feel like going anymore. He had plenty of romance novels in his room to keep him lost for a few days until the entire thing was over.

Could she make it over the back of the chair safely? Candlejack! Forget safely. If she could make it over that without hands grabbing at her to keep her in place, she would be doing good. This...why? WHY had she thought coming here was a good idea? Oh right. Because she did want to support her boilfriend, even if this was an auction for a date with him. She wasn't mad about this in the slightest. In fact, the she-wolf had been highly amused by it all.
LW almost jumped when Riley patted her shoulder. Almost. Wide violet eyes focused on the demoness as she spoke in soothing tones. "I...yes. I think I can promise that. Thank you." She said in a soft voice.
Even as the demoness stood to move away, LW still wasn't able to completely relax. She still felt awkward and part of her was adamant about saying this whole scenario was her fault. The she-wolf felt horrible that Ren had felt insulted. This too, she couldn't help but put the blame on herself. Something along the lines of, if she hadn't been so damn curious about the demoness, then no feelings would have been hurt.
That familiar drawl pulled her out of these thoughts for the moment and she looked up at Gabrian. It took her several seconds to even register that his hand was extended to her, but by then he had already leaned down to grab her hand and pull her to her feet. LW leaned almost heavily against him and for some reason felt less trapped when he slid his arm around her waist. "No. No way in hell am I putting a bet down on that." She finally got out in a relatively normal voice, tilting her head up to look at the nix. His expression clearly said that he planned on winning that bet. Which he probably would too, unless she got extra lucky. A small smile ghosted her lips when he whispered. "Maybe..."
Now standing and ever so slowly relaxing (head pets = LOVE) as the general tension from moments ago seemed to be dying down, LW realized that Ren hadn't left. Or hadn't succeeded in it. While Gabe spoke to Riley, the she-wolf glanced back enough to meet her best friends eyes. Hers said she was extremely sorry for what had happened.
Oblivious as usual to what was going on around them, LW missed Riley leaving to go calm the one dragon down. And the watchful eyes of some of the other bidders. Right now she was only concerned about the two boils standing with her.

Alwine climbed off of the stage gratefully and started to wring her hands nervously-- excitedly? Nervously? One of those. JackB had bid on her. JackB had won! Was he a date? Well, he was nice no matter what. She tried not to get her hopes up, but... oh, she had a date to the dance! It was wonderful! She honestly didn't think that anyone would bid on her, even if it was for a good cause.
She phased in and out of the groups, making her way over to the cat god.
"Jack!" her voice sounded like a smile, even if she really couldn't. "I'm sorry if this is forward, but I'm really excited! This is going to be so much fun, thank you!!"

Standing on the side wasn't working anymore. Knowing Natalia was there, in the same room as her, and she was not by her side was beginning to pick at her inner core. This just couldn't be allowed anymore. Her heart wouldn't let it. Whisper took in a deep breath, and held it for a moment. Any worries she may have had, she forcibly pushed from her mind. It didn't matter if people looked at her strangely, she had to be with the ghoul she cared for. Why the hell was she worrying anyway? Wisp was the one everyone could depend on, the strong ghoul, the pillar of strength for all. So why should her strength falter now?
Whisper released her breath and began to move through the crowd. She didn't care that Natalia was flirting, she was just being herself. All Wisp really cared about is that eventually, she hoped that she would be the one that Natalia would come home to in the end. Well, in a manner of speaking anyway. She finally managed to make it to the werelemur, and all she could muster up was a small wave and a shy "Hey."

Chuppi had been content to keep her face against Belladona's legs, even when she noticed Lizzy standing there and looking worried for her, but it was only when the Chupacabra's nose detected a certain smell of blood that was all too familiar that her body stiffened. At first she hoped it was because he was walking past to storm out and not want to stop and talk to her, though when she heard him address her by name, Chuppi almost broke Belladona's legs with the sudden movement she created. She didn't really have an option of not answering since he'd directly addressed her, and Chuppi slowly turned her clearly teary face in the ghost-dog's direction. She released Belladona and slowly waddled over so she was closer to Tybalt, her eyes cast down and her fingers interlocked.
His expression, to Chuppi, mirrored one more of confusion than hope. Was he really that upset, or was he wondering why she did it? The chupacabra was fairly certain she had done great care to keep her personal preferences, in terms of people and everything else, hidden from the lights of the school. With so many people walking around now openly showing their affections it made the modest and reserved little girl blush more than she should whenever she thought of such things. It would do her well not to mention anything now, so she ran several scenerios through her head in an effort to repsond.
Yes I bid on you, because I lo-
I did it because we're frie-
I didn't want you to not get bidded on so-
Instead, Chuppi only managed to squeak out one thing.
"Te amo."
And then she paled.

Natalia was on stage, doing her thing...and now Whisper was on stage. And...All Natalia could do was freeze up. Her orange gaze was no longer on Mei or the crowd, or on anyone but the brown haired hellhound as peachy skin waved and a sweet sound came from Whisper's equally sweet lips. Hey.
Dropping her arms to the side and blinking several times, the werelemur mumbled a few words before nodding her head. Renaissance, if he had been paying attention, would make note of this Natalia was sure of it! s**t! Quick! Recover! Go!
"You look hot." Was all she could muster...before a smile spread across her lips. "I'm glad you found me."

Daisuke noticed Lucien wave over to him, only because the wisp had called over to Jack as he was looking confused where to put himself and Dai thought it would be a good chance to catch up. Now they were altogether again. Sort of... Minus the space. This was about what happened, wasn't t?
He sighed a little and laughed under his breath, remembering how he almost killed the lead singer from a rebound, then lifted his hand to wave at him. He looked back to the stage afterward, wanting to go over to his two band members but when Alwine approached them, he thought he would just be interrupting and instead, his eyes were hovering over a girl at the front who made a wave at the girl in the auction.
He tilted his head. Something seemed odd and after another quick, sly gaze over to the gathering ghouls, hovering on one in particular he smiled. He already had a date. There was no need to bid really. He looked back at Junko and the rest with a small smile, giving a nod as to say 'excuse me for a second' before making his way to the front. Where Whisper was, also the mindflyer, dragon boil and a pleasant surprise, Amrita was gathered.
"Oh, hey!" He called over to the ghoul with the twisted limbs before he turned back to the hellhound, passing her his bag of 473 seeds, then made his way over to Amrita, putting a hand on her shoulder when he heard her protest loudly. "Everything alright?" He looked down at her with a small chuckle, wondering what had got her so worked up, which made him look back at the dragon boil and the purple skinned ghoul.

Tybalt waited patiently for an answer but was a little disappointed when it turned out to be something in Spanish. He didn't understand a word of Spanish, so her reply might as well have been in an alien language. Though whatever she said, it made her pale the moment the words slipped out. Damn, where was a Spanish dictionary when you needed one?
"Err, pardon?" Was all he could manage; confused and unsure of how to respond.

Chuppi breathed a massive sigh of relief when she found that Tybalt hadn't understood a word she said, sort of how she hoped. . . but why was she disappointed a little? She was more than thrilled that her secret hadn't come out, not in a situation like this, but a little section of her had wanted him to understand and maybe give her closure in one form or another. If he liked her back, then that was awesome. If he didn't like her back then that was okay too, it was stupid of her to force her ideas and feelings on someone else anyway. Still there was nothing much else she could do at the moment and instead took to smiling, her hand raising up to wipe away any tears that still lingered on her cheeks.
"Um, of course I bid on you. We are friends, right? I just didn't want you to have to go to the dance if you didn't want to."
Chuppi paused, as if willing herself to continue on. Her brain was a jumble and her stomach really hurt (where did she put that Thermos, hmmm) but she knew that she had to contiune on so not as to leave any more question in the air. Maybe once this was all over Chuppi would go and hide again for a long time.
"But, um, you don't have to go with me either. Basically you are free to do what you want, I don't want you to be unhappy."
