We?
She assumed that Jericho meant Riley. It seemed like a natural enough leap-of-thought to her, perhaps they'd been talking about just this not too long before she'd come over. Yet...she wasn't entirely sold on something about what he said throwing her a little bit. Shehk simply couldn't place it, rubbing the back of her neck to pat the hairs that tried to stand up back down a bit.
"Definitely. Seems like people are getting a good opportunity to meet a few new faces here and there. I like that. This was all a brilliant idea."

Before he could do much else, he felt a tugging at his pants leg. The urge to suddenly kick whatever was there came about and when he looked down he found out why. It was one of the gnomes. "... Thanks we guess," he said while taking the point, blinking, then turned his attention back to Shehk. "Very true. Though... the new students... Can we really trust them? Have you seen any of them before this? We've... been watching. Carefully. For sssigns of.. problemssss."

There was that 'we' again. Shehk found his behavior perplexing, but took care to not question the word choice. Still, his suspicions were ones she'd heard voiced by several students.
"I see, so that's why you were wandering, then?" Shehk inquired, smiling before she patted his arm warmly. "So good to us, Jericho. Keeping an eye out to keep us all safe. I appreciate that." It was almost a warm-fuzzy feeling, but not really. As it was not a sentiment really meant for her in particular, and part of it was masked by a small and strangely misplaced piece of bitterness she couldn't place the source of.

He had gotten her flowers, a rather popular gift for proposals and showing your feelings but he got the pony some clothes? And cupcakes? It really sounded more like he was getting ready to ride the pony around like the tool he was instead of the boilfriend he claimed to be. However, the pony did say something interesting that caused the reaper's interest to pique.
We sleep together all the time!
Normally Lilith wouldn't have thought anything of this particular line since he was a sloth demon and it wasn't very uncommon for him to end sleeping in questionable places and laid upon by others. However, following the phrases "... we have been going out together..." and "... we've gone on dates..." suggested something entirely else and it caused Lilith to give Bartholomew quite the look. She didn't believe it, but then Bartholomew went and said he had changed.
Lilith never would have guessed Bartholomew was into pony play.
"Don't joke, it's a pony. You use them for transportation but that's it. Are you mad that I was giving so much attention to the joxes? You know you could have joined us." She never would have expected the one hundred and ten plus florejox she had adopted during the festival to become so demanding but she couldn't just throw them away. Neither would they happily or easily be transported back home. Maybe she could borrow Calder. Either way, the joxes had pretty much limited her time but she assumed Bartholomew understood.
Her thoughts were interrupted for a moment by something unusual. It crept up the demon's leg and immediately caught her attention. She didn't like this, she didn't like it. She squeezed her arm loosely, a strange expression covering her face. Her demon had went and grown up without even asking her if it was all right. How dare he, really? She was mad at him but at the same time she wasn't. He was her demon and as far as she was concerned he'd always be her demon. She really shouldn't have been surprised he had little effort in the whole attempting to contact her considering what he was. She loved that about him, didn't see? She did. She didn't understand why she was so... flustered.
"You're getting thorny," she noted solemnly. "I've missed a lot. You should tell me all about it. We could find a place to sit down as well." It was one of her nicer suggestions, still trying to pry the demon away from Calder. She wouldn't change the fact she'd been caring for her joxes most of the time but her heart felt heavy thanks to the weird feelings she was forced with. Her property was hers and she didn't like sharing it! It was hers, hers, hers, hers! There was a deep sigh and Lilith laid her head against Batholomew's arm for a moment.
This whole situation was just disagreeable. She shot a look to the pony. Nope, she still didn't approve.

Joachim wants to get to know somebody!"Errr... thank you..." Joachim nodded as the ghoul who disappeared only for what appeared to be a few minutes returned with two cups of punch, and more punch on herself then in the cup making him wish he had gone and did it himself instead of her ruining her dress.

Israfel wants to get to know somebody!Israfel wanted to make friends! He liked stamps. And cards. And parties. And questions. And things. Lots of things. This seemed like a good idea to him. "All the questions" He muttered to himself, texting Riley before going to the games. Nio Love I'm going to ask the MOST QUESTIONS EVER!!!11!! 8DDDDD

*Astra* wants to get to know somebody!
While she was "standing guard" so to speak, Astra thought more about weather she wanted to join in on the fun, and decided that it sounded very interesting indeed. So she got out her phone, and texted Riley a message.
She couldn't wait to see who she would be paired up with!

The boil chuckled, blackened hand falling comfortably to his ghoulfriend's hip after she lowered back to the flats of her feet. "My lips are sealed, promise." Despite his words there was a certain quality to his voice, a hint of something in his smile, that suggested he wasn't quite finished with teasing her about the things. They were awful on their own, but with the added perk that she hated them, and couldn't remove them, well, it was just too prime an opportunity to let slip away. When she noticed the flowers he relinquished them into her grasp, a smug smile gliding along grey lips. "Of course they're for you." Who else would they be for? He glanced down at the box as she asked about it, giving it a little turn in his hand before offering it out to her. "Just a little something to show how much I appreciate you, and how wonderful the last year has been." He gave the side of the gift a little flick of his fingers before letting his hands slip fall back to slip into his pockets. Inside the box the ghoul would find an ivory on black cameo of a skeletal woman with a red rose tucked into her hair. It was something he'd caught her eying in the front of a jewelry store they'd past multiple times throughout the year, and he'd actually gone out and bought it some time ago, but had waited for the right occasion to give it to her. Their one year anniversary seemed a perfect time.

As Riley returned to the front of the room, she snagged the list of signed up students and erased the previous names on the dry erase board with the back of her hand, which darkened black with ink. She began randomly pairing one with another, writing their names on the dry erase board quickly.
As she finished, she looked up at the time. She was early, by just a few minutes. It made a satisfied expression pass over her face, until she returned to her list, and counted..
There was still a few minutes for sign ups, and they'd already gone one table overboard. Luckily, she was, as always, prepared for such a situation.
She lifted her hand, and performed a complicated set of gestures. To whom she was gesturing was unclear, but a few minutes later, gnomes were bringing out three new tables, and setting them up for students to use. Turning to Malodore, she slit her eyes in satisfaction. Preparation is key when handling events. Now, ah.. She lifted her ink-stained hand, the smugness in her expression melting away to something more akin to embarrassment. Does anyone have a napkin?

Maritess wants to get to know somebody!
The winged ghoul had been forced to attend, literally by an army of hands who had dressed her, styled her hair, and all but carried her to the event's location. All done at the request of a certain lower pair of limbs.
So that was why the winged ghoul was present and feeling very awkward and out of place. Tess did not sign up. She did not have any inkling or intention or desire. And yet her name was on the sign up sheet and it looked like it was written with one's foot.

Before Steffani had a time to close things up, it was time to move on. She stood to let a new pair join the tables, walking away from the grouped tables and looking around. A lot more people had wandered in while she met with Enzo. Odd. Her stomach knotted, she glanced around for anyone she'd met before. In the crowd, though, she couldn't make them out.
Shaking her head, Steffani wandered towards the edge of the crowd to observe. Recalling the rumors of corners, she tried to keep away from those. She didn't know what would happen, she didn't care, she also did not want to have to sew herself back together. Ahem.

Charlie had reappeared from his table. Arms were folded behind his head and sugar could be seen all over his face and clothing. He'd had a good time with Cady as usual. Now it was time to mingle though.
-----------------
Tahki took the moment to wave to the two boils before heading to the tables. Shun... She wasn't sure if she knew who that was but the arctic gryphon was about to find out.
---------------
Neil got stuck with Muka. He remembered the owl oh too fondly and groaned a little. He'd be taking his sweet time to make it over to the tables. At least right now the two weren't in natural form. Neil had kind of hoped to have been paired with a ghoul. Not a boil.
