She had made the right choice.
Riley let Junko's arms free when she struggled, initially worried the ghoul would flee. But she would not have held her against her will, regardless; so when Junko clung to her much like Astra had, Riley collected the ghoul close in her arms and held her with a warm, pressing embrace. The sniffles, the sadness, the emotion shaking through the ghoul made it clear that this was what she needed. Riley was more than happy to give it to her.
But there was something else..
Perhaps, just to herself, she could admit that she needed this, too. She needed every hug, every smile that she could collect and store until the moment Vek took her by the arm and locked her up again. She needed to carry with her as much as she could collect in one day.. to survive the silence.
Riley's embrace took on a much fiercer meaning, and her chin rested against the top of Junko's head.
No, my dear. She whispered quietly. Thank you.
Memory or not, she was loved by these people. And though she would never admit it out loud, that alone was probably the only reason she'd fought so hard to live again. She owed them her life..
..and maybe a bit more.

And there Aymet went. Grimacing, Shun looked towards the others before letting out a sigh. He didn't really know what was going on there, but maybe he could ask the Dracolich later. He had a suspicion on why the phylactery was cracked but he wasn't too certain. Turning around, he noticed that Mitsu had... wandered off. Looking around, he tried to see where she went only to find a sparkling potted plant. "..."He walked over to stand next to said plant. "You're a horrible sneak."

This conversation already took a turn to make her feel bad. It wasn’t going to get any better between now and tomorrow…or later that evening if he decided to come then. “ I am glad…” Hel blinked a bit as Mot head-butted her lightly. “… Heh. I could not help myself at your expense.” She murmured and paused. “… Ah…alright…thank you.” She bit her lip for a moment. “… I will uh…see you sometime later then…?” Despite the song still playing, the ghoul had slowed down and came to a stop. “… I will be in my room…and I think I shall retire now.” She needed to mentally prep herself for this talk.

For some reason Mitsu just thought they had busted out the Christmastival lights for the potted plant early. It wasn't like they weren't going to have sales at the mall soon no doubt. " Oh...your song." Mitsu nodded in understanding and suddenly felt a tad awkward as well. So why had Mac asked her to dance to this song? " Who do you keep talking about anyway?" Mitsu asked as Mac spun her and brought her back. Thankfully without her shoes she was able to keep her balance. Before she could get an answer though Mac zeroed in on the sparkly bush. " Lizzy?" She nearly expected for Mac to abandon her and dance with his ghoul friend but no such luck.

Needle couldn't help but grin, feeling the various tremors and vibrations thrum through him as he spoke or giggled. Oh the joys of hollow bones!
"As tempting as it is to have this last forever, it must come to an end eventually~" The Engraver gave a wistful sigh, the hand on his upper arm brushing along the (to her) somewhat glowing fabric. "...Hmm. The lake sounds lovely! I do not think I have been to any lakes near here." She mused; sure she wouldn't be able to really see it for what it was worth, but experiencing wasn't just for the eyes. "Then we could go from there?" The lake didn't seem particularly exhausting, after all.

Lizzy popped out from behind the bush, and punched Shun on his arm at his comment, although that sort of hurt her knuckles, so she just frolicked over to Mac and Mitsu. Standing beside them with a smile on her face, hands tucked behind her back, she giggled, "Enjoying yourselves?"

Hel seemed to be anxious, as if the thing she wanted to say was had for her. Mot wanted her to be comfortable, so he smiled, and gave the ghoul a hug after she stopped dancing. "I will see you soon, then." An affectionate squeeze was given before he let her go, giving the Valkyrie a mock salute. "Safe walk back. I'll knock when I return."

Taima shook her head indulgently as Sal actually seemed to take to his new moniker. "If the shoe fits," she said, resigning herself to her own nickname--at least he wasn't calling her a horse anymore! She battled back the instinctual urge to protest as he led her in the dance, the fact that she'd never danced like this before making it slightly easier; her attention was pretty evenly divided between Sal and her own feet. "Huh? Oh, it's okay," Taima replied, turning her foot just in time to avoid stepping on Sal's before she looked back up at him. "There's plenty of time to meet them all--it's not like I go to school with them or anything." She laughed as he twirled her around. "It's worth a lot. It was a lot of fun, barring the..." she trailed off, her eyes lowering and catching on the noticeable stain on his scarf. "Well. It was still fun, so thank you as well."

"There is one close. I think the aquatic students partake the most." Muka wasn't a swimmer, more of a roll around in water type. "May be nice on the feet?" The water that is. "You know I do not believe I own a swim suit." The strix giggled a bit against her head. His giggles carried on for a short time until he fell silent again, simply holding Needle to him and moving them in a slow turn around the floor. He slowly got a bit more of a devilish look and after a slow turn he whispered. "Just go with it!" He dipped her against him, teeth clacking happily above her bent body before he pulled her back up against him. Oh the excitements of dancing! If only they'd played a tango...

Just digging the knife deeper really. That’s all this was. Hel seemed surprised that he hugged her as well, but returned it after a moment and then rested her hands on her hips. “ Ah…ya…thank you…” She paused. “… Have a good rest of the evening…I will see you later then…hmm?” Hel started to make her way towards the doors, but paused before she got too far away. “ Ah…thank you for the dance…you are the best I have had the pleasure of dancing with this evening…” She winked and gave him a bit of a smile before she moved on towards the doors, eager to remove herself lest she cause any more unintentional damage this evening. The reaper paused in the door way once again, much like she had when she entered, and just looked back at everyone. She could pick out her friends here and there in the crowd…and sure, she could have had stopped and said good night to them all…but she’d see them soon. Hel lingered in the door way, watching everyone for a moment longer before slipping out for the night. [exit]

"Doesn't matter. She-who-must-not-be-named." Though he liked the name superbitch better. As awkward as he felt, it didn't stop him from continuing to dance with her, humming away to the song. Well, until Lizzy was ousted. "Yep, the glittery fiend herself." He watched her walk over, and his dance with Mitsu slowed to a stop.
"Yes, very much." Then he turned back to the little Monster he usually picked on, all happy smiles. "Thanks for the dance, Mitsu, but I think I have to end it here." He had a ghoulfriend to dance to, after all! He had enough thought to give her a bow after letting her go, taking a step back and turning towards Lizzy.
"But to better answer your question...I'd have more fun if I were dancing with you right now. It is our song~" He held his hand out to her in invitation now, forgetting everyone else existed.

Mitsu smiled as Lizzy approached more than happy to let Mac go so he could be with his ghoulfriend. " You're welcome...." A dance without incident...Mitsu was worried about the state of the world outside the auditorium. " Congratulations on being Prom Queen Lizzy." Mitsu bowed to the two slightly, a gesture she had picked up from Xiu and Shun before she scooted off to find her own boilfriend.

Freya let out a loud, boisterous laugh. "Ach, is true." She admitted. "I'm terrible at the lyings. But that is okays, I will just has teh be faster about gettings away next time." She nodded slowly in thought. She twirled Willow and then dipped her low, waggling her eyebrows and letting out another laugh.

So Riyo was just a little apprehensive about spilling her guts in front of and locking arms with a complete stranger, but the ghoul HAD given her tuna. And to a cat, that was as good a peace offering as it gets.
Instead of going back to the table where Titus was, the ghoul settled for the middle of the dance floor. In her bare feet. If ANYONE stepped on her bare, broken little toes, she would have their head on a platter. Pure and simple.
"Alright. Lets do this." The ghoul mumbled begrudgingly as she unlocked her arms from the other two ghouls and began to get down with her bad self.
Whether she looked good doing it or not was debatable.

"Thank youuu~" Lizzy curtsied at Mitsu when she bowed, and then took Mac's hand with a smile, "It is... I love this song. It reminds me of many, many things."
She closed the distance between them, putting her arms around his shoulder, waiting for the boil to start, "I'm ready when you are."
