The mood calmed slightly as Jericho broke them up, but Riley's eyes flashed red one last time when Calder dared get near Malodore and make inappropriate comments.
Really, that was the last straw.
Riley slid behind Calder, knocked his knees out so he fell into her arms, and slung him over one shoulder. Wincing at the view she was forced to witness, coupled with how surprisingly difficult it was to hold someone who looked like a fragile princess over her shoulder, she heaved him off to find a nice grave to throw him in and subsequently bury him with.
How.. can you be this heavy..
She briefly considered using Calder in her strength exercises more often.

Calder had been expecting Malodore to not even get the joke, and he didn't even think Riley would react in any way that involved touching him. Picking him up was however, a big surprise, and his eyes widened when he felt his legs swept up from under him and he dropped in Riley's arms. Just when he looked up at her, managing to say "Well now, who the one wanting who.ooOOO!..." he was picked up and thrown over her shoulder. His feet were off the ground. He was being carried!
Big no! NO! NO! NoooooOOOO!
Calder started to flip, but he was speaking in her mind to try and pretend he wasn't. I'm heavy because of my bones, now put me DOWN! He said, using his hands to try and wiggle and find some grip on her shoulders or back to heave himself back up and down. He wanted down. Calder didn't like this. He didn't like this AT ALL!
I mean it Riley!
PUT ME DOWN!
She has no idea what sort of cultural mishap she was creating right now. He wanted to die. This was SO wrong for her to carry him. So wrong. Not only did he not like even a small amount of height, but she might as well be proposing to him right now by carrying him!

Roch took the picture, but it was horrible because he'd never done it before. Regardless, he took the picture! "You put a bow... on my guitar," he said finally. "Jackdammit, Demi! That's--that's just wrong! And get a rope, Danny, those two pieces will make decent nun-chucks. You can be the ninja fire girl or something." Obviously he wasn't taking this seriously (except for the bow. The bow really seemed to irk him,)

Muka stood of to the side, sword clenched in one hand, observing. His unnerving stare seemed to slide slowly over the crowd of magical crossdresses and temporary transgenders. He giggled slightly to himself as he studied the crowd and the interactions. Most of them were current students and he felt it was prudent for his progress, hopefully, into this society to know what was going on.
The strix chittered his teeth and ruffled his wings while he registered the carrot-clad ghoul fighting with the strong, assured purple tentacled ghoul from the fitness club. He could tell more was going on than he knew when the argument went silent. If the purple ghoul talked with minds, then she clearly was keeping this private. Slightly nearer were a group of boils who were jesting about the current predicament. They seemed good natured. Perhaps a good group to approach? There also seemed to be a fascinating creature who's aura tasted of antiquity. It had just made a rather impressive scalpel type weapon.
Muka LOVED its birdlike mask. His head tilted to the side as he watched and muttered something inaudible to himself.

...Playing? that was a extreme kind of playing, even for pokes tastes. Although it didn't seem t progress any further as the dragon boil broke up the show. She wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not, but for now she would just concentrate on her weapon making. Which hadn't progressed because she still.couldn't.reach.the.cardboard...SCREW IT!
Frustrated, she crawled out from behind her desk and grabbed some stuff, sat down on the ground and went work trying to create..something of use. What she ended up doing was ripping the Styrofoam apart and made into a staff like thing, then put the cardboard tube through it to reinforce it. Ha, there we go, she had a Bo-Staff that would survive for about two hits instead of one! Although it still didn't look like it would managed to damage anything.
And...now she was out in the open...
With a reluctant sigh, she stood up with her 'weapon' slung over her shoulder and looked to the guy who seemed upset about the bow on his guitar. "Ah...Your guitar still looks pretty cool" She said to the guy

Riley understood that Calder would squirm. What she didn't realize was that he would sound like he was being viciously ravaged and murdered just by being carried. He was starting to give her a headache, and upon coming to the conclusion that even his death wasn't worth this much pain, she flipped him upright to look him directly in the eye.
She didn't let go, however. She was still going to carry him off to be buried, but she had him upright in both arms just to ask -
Can you please stop flipping out! Just shut up and let me carry you to your new home.
She knew just the one, Christof had unearthed it just last Frightday.

Seeing Riley calm a little, Jericho relaxed. But then Calder had to open his big mouth again. Groaning, the dragon facepalmed and before he knew it, the mindflayer had lifted up the kelpie and started to carry him off.
"Riley. I know how badly you'd like to bury him right now but I would like to think you'd want to do your conquests when not covered in lace," Murmured Jericho before glaring at Calder, "AND YOU. YOU need to learn when to keep your jack damned mouth shut before you end up without a body."

xxxxxDanny scowled and held the guitar protectively, like a child being protected from a charging rhino. "I like the bow Roch! It has character," she scolded. She turned to the styro-tar and cooed quietly, "It's okay, he doesn't mean it." Danny stuck out her pink tongue in his direction, letting him know she meant serious business. She wasn't giving up this bow for anything.
xxxxx"Nun-chucks sound dumb Roch" she said defiantly. "I want something flashy like ... uhh ... cowboy ... girl!" She wasn't really sure at this point what was what. At least she knew Roch was a boy.
xxxxxDanny gasped at Riley picking up the one called Calder. "Ridley! Put him down!" she shouted. Why had Ridley ignored her the first time? It really wasn't nice! Wait why was the boy flipping out so much? It wasn't that scary, was it? Danny turned back to her own group of boys, not wanting to deal with whatever was going on with Ridley at the moment.
xxxxx"So now that we're done with Roch's" she paused to think of the best word, "Stupid idea, anyone else have any?"

The act of carrying anyone was a big deal for a keplie. It meant life, trust, and even love. It was used to carry food, it was used to carry a trusted, personal alley, and it was also used to show a lover. For Calder, he only carried his ex and Christof, one being a past lover and one being a trusted friend. For Riley to carry him, well, she didn't want to eat him, so it just made the rest really creepy. REALLY CREEPY! She might as well be kicking down the door to a hotel and carrying him bridal style!
Heart hammering, he continued to flail until she adjusted her grip and pulled him straight up AGAINST HER! For any onlookers, having to ghouls (or in this case, a sexy-dressed ghoul and a frilly, boil who passed far too easily as a ghoul that anyone could mistake him as one) pressed up chest to chest against each other would have caused a few snapshots. In fact, Riley wasn't the only one with a camera and it seemed he heard a few clicking right at that moment, but he wasn't looking around him right now.
He was looking at her, eyes massively wide and looking downright uncomfortable, pale featured flushed. You...have no idea what that just meant. Can we go back to you just trying to kill me? He almost whined that last part, ear dropping. Yeah. He'd rather die. That sounded like a nice alternative.

Letting out a huff, Jericho was about to say some more to the two but another voice caught his attention. Narrowing his eyes, he turned towards Danny, who seemed to keep getting his friend's name wrong. Being already incredibly irritable due to this situation as a whole, it didn't take much to push him over the edge.
"I swear the next time you call her Ridley you are getting a dragon punch right to the face," he growled, "It's Riley jack dammit. GET IT RIGHT."

Riley didn't care what she was wearing when she killed Calder. She would do it naked, if she had to. And she most certainly still had no idea that one ghoul was talking to her when she kept calling out Ridley.
Therefore, nothing seemed to stop her on her way.
Except when she let Calder's words digest, and that, coupled with the racing heartbeat she felt against her, forced her into a confused standstill.
Wait. What in hell's name is that supposed to mean? What am I doing to you right now, other than trying to kill you?

Calder would have had a lovely comeback to Jericho. Something along the lines of being flattered that the dragon was concerned about his body, that he didn't want Riley to conquer him, and that he could occupy his mouth in other ways. That would have worked if he wasn't already looking at Riley, petrified and turning even reader the more she held him. Carried him as, despite how tall he was, he wasn't as tall as she was. Then again, she was a few years older than he was.
It was clear he was struggling just to think the response back to her. His brain wanted to shut down, but he instead just swallowed. You're..... Ugh, why didn't people understand his culture better! Then again, why did Riley pick him up in the first place?! ..........proposing.
In short, Riley was hitting on a younger boil. She was the cougar of Amityville.

Riley dropped Calder like a hot stone.
She stumbled back a step, and pointed a shaky finger at him.
AHHHHH NO. NO. YOU GET OVER THERE. WHERE I CAN NO LONGER SEE YOU, GO. GO.
Every single sugary sweet she'd eaten in this entire event was coming back to haunt her, rolling in her stomach and threatening to expel. She reached back behind her, found Jericho, and promptly snuck behind him so she couldn't actually see Calder anymore.
I need a shower. She whimpered. I need ten.

Calder's bizarre mood had vanished in an instance when his appetite was destroyed and when he dropped, he landed on his rear and made no motion to stand. Instead, he curled up and covered his head, grabbing his ears and pulling them down. The first time he'd ever been proposed and it was from RILEY! He wanted to cry. Way to ruin a special first in his life.
You're the one that grabbed me and threw me on your back! He shouted back at her, flustered and wanting to just let out a long whine over the entire thing.
But it wasn't over with.
......and I can't go. There were percedures to his kind. Once you proposed, you couldn't just walk off.
You picked me up. You have to decline the proposal or else we're engaged!
While he said this to Riley, he looked to Jericho. "You wouldn't mind burning me to a crisp right now, would you?" He said, hopeful.

STOP SAYING THE STUPID. Riley couldn't even focus enough to make coherent phrased sentences anymore. She was just spitting out words. No, nope, no no no go away go.
Riley clung to Jericho's back and made a sort of whimpering sound.
.. is he gone yet?
