Welcome to Gaia! ::

"She doesn't really like it when I put my hair up, it stops Her from tormenting me and grabbing things, but I'm usually able to win." Junko shrugged, turning a grateful smile to Lizzy as she complimented her hair. Her hair was her pride and joy even despite its faults. "Thank you, Lizzy. It means a lot to hear that."

Pure...succulent meat? The thought actually made Junko shiver a bit. Creepy, Riley. Just creepy. Though that was why they were all here, right? Eugh. Her hair perked up and writhed naturally as she heard yet another voice, looking to the door to confirm the owner was...yes! Miss Xiu! Yay! "Hi Xiu! Oooh your friend?" She wasn't Nuk but she didn't see why not! The more the merrier, right? Junko waved to the cute little baku, grinning as she was greeted. So who was her friend? Hmmm! She'd never seen him before!

"Hi there! It's nice to meet you! I'm Junko~." Was he new too? So many new students so late in the year. Unless...some of these students cropping up she just hadn't seen around.

Oh, Jack. If that were the case she would just feel awful. But all worried flitted away as she heard Riley speak her name with awe. Huh? Why was Riley so aw--oh. Junko blushed, smiling sheepishly and giving a little nod. "I just finished one of them today, and I haven't started the last one just yet but..it's really fun! I'd be happy to keep making more for any occasion!" Junko said earnestly, almost wishing Riley would ask her for more dresses. "Oh! I know! How about after this you come by my room and we'll do that fitting and you can see the dresses?"

Ok, now Vaith had a problem with meeting new people. They were actually talking to him. How did he explain, his rather troublesome inability to smile? perhaps, he was overthinking this and he didn't need to smile.

His tone was fairly hesitant as Xiu's friends approached him-- He certainly didn't want them to think Xiu had bad friends. He really didn't want to be in that category either, so he just had to make sure they thought of him as a good friend!

(Ghouls worked in mysterious ways. :C He might lose his own beneficial friend because Ren, his other friend, wasn't so beneficial!)

Oblivious to Xiu's fear, Vaith didn't seem to mind the faceless presence .. or notice it yet either. He tipped his head towards the pink haired ghoul .. and the black haired ghoul, who called herself Junko. His red eyes narrowed to the side, as if to quickly glance at Xiu for confirmation before he directed his gaze back to the two ghouls.

"I-Its nice to meet you too."

Junko perked up again at the question of prom plans, smiling brightly as she clapped her hands together under her chin. Oh, did she ever! She was so excited for this! "Uh huh! I'm making this pretty dress, and my boilfriend is taking me, and I'm going to decide what he's wearing too, I think." He had to match her, right? "As for decorations..I dunno! We'll find out when Nuk and Riley start the meeting officially." Casino theme, casino decorations? But how did one decorate a casino? Junko had no idea. But she was so glad to see more people arriving! And another boil too! Nuk would be happy, right? That there were more boils than just him now?

The latest arrival..she was not so thrilled over, as made evidence by the way her hair suddenly went from writhing and wriggling to hanging straight and flat. It almost touched the floor with her sitting right now. Oh, hell. Hell. Hell. Hell. No. Why, Jack? Why? Why hath thou forsaken Junko? Ugh! She made a face at the way Aislin greeted Nuk, the tone making her skin crawl and her hair lift to life again. Ugh. Stop it, Aislin. Just...stop it. She forced a smile anyway, making it look as natural as possible as she turned around to greet the banshee properly. "Oh, hi! It's nice to see you, Ais...lin..."

...Seriously? Junko wanted to facepalm at the question. Of course she knew Seiji. She knew Seiji very well. It was to be expected!

Junko was trying so, so hard to find reasons to like this ghoul. But she was making it difficult.

"I'm Vaith. I've been around for a little bit .. but you wouldn't see me around. I sleep. A lot." He tried to explain, although the excuse sounded rather pathetic even to his own ears. "Lizzy." he confirmed, settling stiffly on a desk. Well, not so stiffly as much as awkwardly. Girls made dresses? Must be a lot easier than using pumpkin seeds to find a dress-- after all, if you could make it fit to you, all that much better, right? Struggling to keep a yawn back, he looked briefly towards the new entrant.

A ghoul?

.. My, that desk did look awfully tempting. Girls and dresses wasn't the topic that would keep Vaith especially awake .. Unless, the topic of discussion might be what they wore under those dresses. But he wasn't going to say THAT out loud.

"Yes, he's my boilfriend." Junko chuckled, though she sounded proud nonetheless. Yes, he was her boilfriend. She didn't think Aislin was going to take her from him, but she still kept getting that small niggling of jealously whenever she was around the banshee ghoul. She'd had the talk with Seiji, she knew of their history, but she still couldn't help but feel so..jealous.

At Riley's question Junko looked up, giving her a smile and a nod. "Mhm! She's an old friend of Seiji's from before he came to the school!" She chirped. She didn't wish Aislin ill will. Honestly, she really didn't! She wanted the ghoul to be happy here and make friends!

"I know he's your boilfriend." Was that the vaguest of hints of irritation in her voice? Maybe. She glanced sidelong towards Junko as she explained to Riley that she had known Seiji from a long time ago. The banshee smiled demurely and turned to greet Riley. She lifted her chin slightly, more out of habit than any real haughtyness, and looked towards the purple ghoul. It was... odd. To hear the other's voice not from her ears but from her own head.

But it was also inexplicably fascinating. "Hello, again." There was no hiding the pleasure she felt at the compliment. Lovely presence. She gave a little laugh. "I've been wondering when I'd see you, too. We didn't get very much time, did we?" She stepped forward, reaching out and taking Riley's hand in much the same way they had done when they'd first met. Again she lightly caressed the back of the demoness' hand with soft fingertips.

Before anyone could think she was flat out ignoring them she settled near Riley, turning and giving the ghoul who had introduced herself as Lizzy a little wave and smile. "Hello." And the boil who was Vaith received the same greeting as well as the other ghoul with a tail. She hadn't caught her name, though.

Calder didn't know who was on the prom committie or else he would have thought about arriving, but Prom was a big deal and he had wanted it to be magical. True, he had one of the best dates in the world, but he didn't want their time together ruined by a half-assed Prom that hadn't the spirit of what the end-of-the-year dance was all about - or what Calder read about it through various scenes in romantic novels. He also felt that everyone else would want the beck background to what was going to be the scene of many a happy memory.

The door opened and the kelpie stepped in, looking around to notice he was one of very few boils in the room, one being Nuk. He narrowed his eyes at the boil, before moving to a seat without another word. This committee wasn't exactly what he was thrilled about. Lizzy was still on edge around him, and Riley? Well, he was trying to keep a new thought in his mind around her, which required a lot of tongue biting and keeping various comebacks to himself. It was....something he only now was trying to do. For that reason, he said nothing to her, and settled into his seat. His presence was enough to say that he was here to help.....hopefully with as little bloodshed as possible.

Ren had not stopped by the prom booth either (distracted by his own booth, he had not had enough time to make the rounds and see the rest, which had disappointed him a bit), but he was interested in the ideas they had for prom - especially the theme. And it was for that reason that he ambled quietly into the meeting room, hands slipped into his pockets as he made his way towards a chair. There were a few in the room he did recognize; Riley, of course, and Jericho, but there was also a blonde haired ghoul that seemed relatively new to the school. Either that or he had just never seen her before. He felt slightly out of place here, since he did not know the others well at all, but he wanted to help anyway.

Except he was slightly distracted from sitting down by the voice of a very familiar reaper, standing next to a pale haired ghoul whom Ren did not recognize. He veered to the side, stepping across the room and nudged the reaper's side casually with one elbow.

"Pardon my intrusion," he said to the others. He vaguely recognized the pink haired girl as Lizzy, as well as Junko and he offered them all a hesitant smile and a small wave. "Yo, Vaith. Long time no see, man."
