While things had kind of simmered down for Jericho, he still jumped as he heard Shehk address him. Relaxing for the moment, he let out a breath and offered a weak smile to the pricolici. "Yeah. Pretty busy here. But.. that's good I think. No trouble. IT'd be bad if there were trouble here," he said, though the tail end of that started to turn into a growl. "Nothing unmanagable of course. How are you holding up?" he asked. As he spoke, his gaze darted here and there. That tension of his never fully left.

She could feel the blush grow darker as he clarified.
Like Riley and Malodore (wait since when were they a couple?)? Barth and Calder...? Really?! Her stomach was all but doing flips, and her chest seemed tighter somehow. "I...I...um." WHERE WAS CALDER WHERE WAS LIZZY WHERE WAS SOMEONE TO HELP HER OH JACK HELP PLEASE WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO AAAAA----- "I-I am, iguess, yes, a-and I like when you do, b-but..." The Vetala took a half step closer to him, reaching into the mass of curly hair that draped over her shoulder to produce a needle with some thread.
"Does...does that mean I can't even hug my friends...?" She asked quietly, offering the needle out to him, to properly fix his face. She really wished someone was there to guide her to what to do...

It seemed as soon as she had spoken a familiar pair of hands found their way around her waist. Just the sound of Shun's voice brought on a broad and happy smile and Mitsu leaned back into her reaper's touch. Pressing into the kiss lightly Mitsu tilted her head back a little so that she could see Shun's face a little easier, beaming up at him now beyond pleased with her current company.
"I was looking for you. Have you been walking around?" Her arms rested over top of his soaking up this embrace they had going. Sure she had enjoyed this sort of contact from him before but lately she had enjoyed it even more.

Never broke up? No...no, they had definitely...he was quite sure on that point, at least. He was going to say something on the subject, when Lilith praised him for the thoughtfulness. Praise. From her. It came about as easily as Effort, from him. He flushed deeper, the correction dying in an embarrassed and half-pleased, "Err."
Calder mumbled a response to Lilith's question.
Barth's mouth quirked at sleep together. "You're also the reason I'm still alive," he added quietly. The dates had been nice. More than nice. But Calder had helped him through some...well, some important personal growth. Calder and Christof had also come to get him when he was slated to be weaponized.
Looking back up at Lilith, "There have been some...changes...with me..." The thorns were what had started this whole business, and they were what he thought of now.
As if in response, a black vine, thick with thorns, began to snake up his shoe and around his pant leg. He didn't seem to notice it.

Shehk smiled back. "Sorry if I startled you. I tend to be good at that lately." It would have amused her if it didn't make her sad somehow, her brows furrowing together slightly. "I agree, it's very busy. But like you said, that gets people's minds off of other things...Like the trouble."
She touched her own throat, wrapping her hand around it as though weakly attempting to choke herself. In truth, she was trying to will away a desire she couldn't feed inside of the school.
"I'm doing well enough. The color doesn't bother me as much as I thought it was going to....yet at the same time it bothers me more than I would like." It seemed predictable, really. It was Red's color. The color of love, the color of her hero. Her hand dropped to her chest, clutching the fabric of her dress.
"How about you? Doing alright?" It was an innocent return of the Treasurer's question, not meant to pry into anything he wasn't willing to share.

AMARUS wants to get to know somebody!
Amarus' first encounter had gone about as well as could be expected. Which was not very, really. Still, the event was young, full of promise... ! She hoped. A ghost ghoul could hope. Well, so long as she still managed to fulfill her personal goal, maybe some of the night could be salvaged.
Looking around at all the outfits, she realized that she was probably supposed to have worn something formal. Her eyes dimmed for a moment, aura retreating closer to her ghostly skin, and she thought that this was perhaps a failure in her Scarentines competitiveness-- well, she hadn't really felt like it was a competition until now, perhaps. It was a way of understanding the night.
Amarus wasn't that out of the loop, but sometimes it made it easier to accept things she didn't quite enjoy if she framed it in such a simplistic way. Amarus' shoulders heaved, the closest she'd get to sighing. She sought out the closest council member, and carried on signing herself up for the next round. After all, the more one one trained, the better one would perform in battle, perhaps? Or something like that.
Eventually she'd get the hang of this.

Jericho hadn't quite been aware that the colors of the event were an issue for Shehk. Then again, in hindsight, it did make sense. He just wasn't really doing a whole lot of clear thinking as of late which made it a little harder for him to realize these sorts of things. "Me? I'm doing fine. Always fine. Maybe.. just a little stressed but nothing to worry about!" he said, though it might have sounded a little forced. Too many people had been worrying over him tonight. It was frustrating and a little straining all at the same time. "But good to hear you're fairing alright. It wouldn't be good to be uh.. too bothered by anything during this."

For a moment, Riyo stared intensely at Astra and her pathetic excuse of a response. Really? Did she think she could break the tension that eas-
"Okay."
W-wait. What?
The ghoul's posture seemed to relax as her stare became little more than a glance. She was just dropping it? How the hell was she just dropping it? Augh, why did her chest hurt? It was like her heart was working overtime or something.
"Just... No more pranks, and I'll drop the whole thing." Riyo, FORGIVING SOMEBODY? Oh HELL no!
And it looked like she'd be good on her word... then she noticed Mac's smile and... HOLD THE ******** PHONE.
Was he... BLOWING A KISS?
"NEAAAAAARGH!" Tactically the ghoul moved behind Astra for cover, hoping the invisible missile hadn't hit its target.

Christof gave a whine at her hesitation, panic written all over his face a she took a step back, again fidgeting, picking, twisting his coat buttons on his nice suit, his eyes anywhere but her. "Aakk," He mumbled through the torn section around the safety pin, giving an unsure shrug. Friends... well... yes, friends were alright to hug. Friends hugged often. But did... how did Amrita view him, really? What was their... Oh, Hell's Bells, he was out of his depth. His eyes shot up, glancing around frantically for Riley- who seemed very indisposed- and Barth- who was entirely indisposed two times over. Even from this distance, he could pick up on his Master's discomfort level and Calder's anxiety. Maybe he should go investigate? Make sure everyone was alright? He was a host for the evening after all but.. but... He rocked in his boots, fidgeting with his toe against the floor. "Like-you," He signed shyly.

"I was at one of the tables. I managed to sign myself up for some meet and greet type of thing," he said. Well, technically it was speed dating, but he didn't really want to think of it as that since he had a girlfriend. Right here. In his arms. "Sorry if I kept you waiting," Shun uttered into her ear while gazing softly down at her. He released her, but just so he could get a better look at the outfit she was wearing tonight. "By the way, you look absolutely beautiful.."

Well that had sounded a bit..touchy.
Her ears flicked back for a moment, but soon corrected themselves again. "Good to hear, Jericho. I think I'd be more surprised if we weren't all stressed in our own ways. This was quite a bit of work to set up. We all want to make sure it goes down without some unforeseen problem, right?"
It was an assumption on her part, but that seemed to be the only thing she could really related to if he was stressed as he said he was. She wouldn't press the topic, he seemed to be holding up just fine anyways.
"I think this is turning out to have been really great so far. What do you think?"

"You did a pretty good job, I'd say." She gave the tall ghoul a soft smile, before extending her hand in greeting. "I'm Gene, or Genevieve. Pleased to finally meet you...ah..." Whoops, she used the wrong greeting again. Couldn't retract her words though. Poo.
This ghoul seemed nervous though, or maybe unsure of what to do? Hmmm. Gene sucked on her lower lip in thought, trying to think of ways that would help them get more acquainted.
"So, why are you at Amity?"

Thankfully, Shehk didn't press the topic like Lizzy had earlier. That had really gotten under his skin at first. Relaxing a little more, he glanced around somewhat more casually this time. It was less to seek out danger and more to see how things were going. That wasn't to say that he still wasn't on his guard right now. "We think it'sss going very well. No trouble, and people ssseem to be getting along pretty well," he said.

It was clear Riyo's behavior had caught Astra off guard as well. She was sure she was being a total pain in the a**, because while she wasn't annoyed at her, poking fun at her was still enjoyable. Plus, from what she had seen of her, Riyo didn't seem like the type to just let things slide.
When asked to stop the pranks, Astra blinked, then nodded her head. "Okay, I promise. I wont pull any more pranks on you." She didn't have the heart to say no, especially when the ghoul was asking like that.
Before anything else could be said, The cat ghoul had screamed, and non the less hid behind astra. Confused, she looked around for whatever she was hiding from. (And also wondering why she was being used a shield.). The fairy spied Mac nearby. looking their way, and she guessed that the reaper was the reason why. It had been a long time since she had seen him, and she could still remember that glass jar comment he made.
"Um...Hello, there?" She said awkwardly.

"Hey. Hey mistah."
A very small, but still Disgruntled Cupid Gnome, was tugging on Jericho's pantleg. "Some lady told me to give ya this." The young gnome held up a single Scarentine's Point. "She said you dropped it somewhere."
The younger gnome toddled off after finishing it's completely fabricated story.
(Please claim this in the claim thread!)
