He gave a strained chuckle. "When isn't something happening?" He asked back, before realizing that Barth wasn't answering. Instead, he kissed his cheek. "Promise me." To that he turned his head to the door.
"The music sounds like it's back on. Want to back inside?" He didn't look at Barth as he asked this.

Tomoko had gotten lost looking for Thackery somewhere in the vicinity of 'Oh Jack, the Chandelier came crashing down' and 'why is everybody dying', and for that looked a little more frazzled than she'd intended to when the Cerberus actually found her, passing him a wide-eyed stare for a moment.
"Prom is more exciting than I ever think it will be.." she said in a sort of awe as she slipped her arm around Thackery's again, standing up just a bit straighter. "It's okay that you didn't find the little-sausages. I bet I could find them at the store later and cook 'em myself or something." she assured.
This clearly meant she'd end up with a cartful of them outside her door within the week.
"A picture? You mean like at the Photobooth? Oh sure, Thackkun. That'd be a lot of fun! I love pictures!"
Sparkledesu.

It took a while, but Mac finally wrangled free of Hel. It may have been in part due to a clever LOOK, A DISTRACTION before scrambling to his feet and running off, but chances were equally good she just got bored of him and left. Either way, Mac was free to wander the hall, looking first for his Queen and then for trouble somone else.
He found trouble someone else first, in the form of Mitsu.
"Uh oh, a lost puppy!" Mac chuckled, announcing his presence to the ghoul before he leaned over her shoulder, his hands buried in his pockets. "Where's your owner, little puppy?" He was teasing of course, in a very good mood despite the bruise on his forehead.

Mitsu had been dancing...kinda off on her own. The crowd of friends had dissipated as the song changed and now she had lost track of her reaper. Scoring the floor she continued to wander only stiffening when she heard a voice behind her. A slightly exasperated expression crossed her features, something that read 'aww man' before she turned a nervous gaze back toward Mac. " Oh Mac so good to...." As she turned around her eyes couldn't help but focus on the blatant bruise. An injury of which she couldn't help but bring a finger up to poke at. " Been busy I see."

"Did I...err...?" Barth wasn't sure what to make of the sudden distress. "I- look, Calder, I mean I'm not err- I mean I'm not entirely familiar with- err, I mean, if I've done something wrong...we don't- we don't have to go back," he said.

The music shifted from the goofy dance and Muka, unsure about the transition for a moment, simply stood with his head tilted. A slow tune wafted through the speakers and his grin widened a bit. The strix turned to his date and took her hand in his. "I think the night is winding down. Would you like to dance again? before we go?" A slow song was better for him personally. He felt like the dancing was easier. he didn't know when the next time was that he'd get to dance with Needle, or dance at all, so he hoped she'd accept. He was sure that Petro would also dance with Lattice. This could be the last one of the night!

Calder turned back quickly, shaking his head. "No! You didn't do anything wrong. You're fine! Great! Everything's fine! I wouldn't lift....carry you..." He felt his heart racing and flustering as he looked about. "...if you weren't great."
He leaned over to pick up their masks as an excuse to look down.

"And you were carrying me, weren't you?" Barth asked, "It is a bit...a bit sudden but I didn't- mean to give the impression, I mean, err, that I didn't- I mean, I don't want to seem as if I was...was opposed." He cleared his throat, feeling hot around the ears, "To the carrying."

All of her happies and sparkles were making Thackery a little woozy. He fought to keep it together because he was supposed to be over this, and he definitely didn't want her to think that she'd broken him like the first time they met. That was not how a perfect prom happened, and he had a promise to uphold here.
"It is definitely interesting," he agreed with a laugh. School functions never ceased to be eventful.
He put his hand over her arm and gave it a little pat, noting to include some little sausages on his next shopping list, and tried to steer them away from the center of the festivities and towards the photo booth without some sort of tragedy befalling them. It was a difficult job.
"Me too! Maybe I can send this one home to convince my mom that I totally do have friends." Kitsune friends, even. Which would be a little less impressive to his parents, but he was proud.

"I've carried you before, Barth." Calder pointed out, not sure if Barth knew or remembered what he meant. Biting his lip, he looked up, both masks held in one hand, and the other adjusting his jacket before daring to look up. "....but, ....I thought now was as good as time as any for.....I mean I know the situation you're in.....I don't expect....well, I like being with you. ...even if it can't be official in your circles. ....just, wanted to..." He took the masks in both his hands, twisting the fabric of both in his hands before looking up. "..my own claim."

Hel resented the fact that she was so easily distracted by a simple pointing gesture and a simple word, and she’d get Mac back…that was a promise. The reaper huffed as she stood, muttering something about ungrateful Psychopomps and letting psychopomps get square danced on during prom, before she scanned the crowd once more. Prom seemed to be winding down, and she wondered what some of the people were doing crowding in some areas…but she had something to do. A cowboil to seek out for something he owed her before she departed for the night. That being said, Hel slipped in and out through the crowd until she found his tall form. “ Ah! There you are. Out from under the table, good! I am here to collect what is owed.”

Yes, mysterious star-dragon. Salbei was satisfied.
The Famine horseman was smiling brightly at his handiwork, even if the particular silly dance had faded since then. It was fun while it lasted, and the night seemed to be winding down in energy, bringing along with it songs that seemed very fit for couples. The idea hurt, a pinch in his heart upon seeing - perhaps for the first time - all of the happy couples, dancing away without a care. He never took that step, and the one he wanted was now lost to him forever. Having such a big loose end hurt, but he couldn't dwell on that any more.
Clearing his throat, he tilted his head to look down at the scareling who had stuck with him all day.
"Fledgeling, may I have this dance?" He actually asked this time, holding a thin, boney hand palm up in invitation.Mac flinched as she poked his bruise, enough to make him stand straight and get his head away from the ghoul. Sure she could still reach him, but the attempt to get her to stop was there.
"Yeah, uh, this is compliments of a superbitch." He frowned, drawing a hand out of his pocket to cover his forehead, being careful around the bruise. "And, for once, I didn't do anything to deserve it." It was all well and good to be hit with microphones and bruise to hell and back if he actually DID something to cause it, but...well, Freya had always been off her rocker. Pity Junko didn't lock her up when he suggested it, it would have saved him a bruise and potential concussion.
"Well, that aside. I'm alone, you're alone...wanna dance?" He was quite aware that it sounded like a bad pickup line, and even laughed at himself for a moment. This song was his song with Lizzy, but with the Demoness gone and no sign of Shun, well...he thought it'd be a good idea to keep up his attempt as being good. He offered his hand to the ghoul, the other still tucked away in his pocket.Needle had been having a blast dancing to that silly song, and as it ended she wasn't sure what to do either, merely shifting from one foot to the other before stopping completely. When Muka brought up another dance, she straightened, clearly interested in the prospect.
"Yes, please! I would love to!" Dancing was amazing, she loved every minute of it. Her fingers threaded through his, but before she left with him she turned to her sister with a smile. "Lattice...I hope you had fun tonight! I am so glad you came out." Still holding Muka's hand, the other came up to rest against Lattice's cheek affectionately. "I will see you later, good night my dearest~" Leaning forward, the Engraver pressed a little kiss to her sister's cheek. Petro received a small smile before she stepped back towards Muka, looking up at the owl boil.
"Lead the way?" She had said her Goodnights, she was ready for anything now!

Muka, still holding Needle's one hand with his, rested his other against his chest. He bowed politely to Lattice and then Petro. "A pleasure meeting you Miss Lattice." He giggled. "And A pleasure Petro, to see you again! It was wonderful us getting to spend this evening together!" After the goodbyes he grinned to his date and led her to the dancefloor. He took a similar pose as before, an arm resting around her waist while his free hand clutched hers. The strix had good dancing form and led her smoothly. He didn't say anything right away, enjoying the dance in silence for a few minutes. "I hope you had a nice time." The strix craned his head a bit to smile at the ghoul in his arms.

"Ha ha, if I sent it to hahue she'd be able to tell chichiue that I was friends with more than Remi..." she didn't actually like the idea of it, but if it would make her dad happier.....

"Well, yes, you have," Barth admitted, feeling immediately more embarrassed for having misinterpreted things, "Carried me."
But-
The situation. Barth back-peddled.
"Err, all of my father's- err, matches aren't strictly business, you know. Or demons. I don't think- I mean there wouldn't be any...trouble about it. Really. From my side."
