Jewels winced at the high shriek of Atomica's modem, but gave her the thumbs up. She was curious how dial up would effect the ghouls' performance.
Doriana's declaration snapped her attention back to Marceline and she breathed "Oh my..." The bling was, in her opinion, not quite enough but she couldn't deny the green haired ghoul pulled it off.
She rummaged through her bag and offered a handful of hair clips and pins for Marceline to try to tame those amazing verdant locks of hers.
"We need a mirror."

Doriana reached into her bag and pulled out a purple hand mirror, and handed it over to Marceline."Last but not least, the tag." She reached down into her bag again, and pulled out a small piece of cloth. On this, it said:Doriana Taylor™ Certified
Made in New Salem, USA She took out a thread and needle to sew it on. She began to pull down the collar of the dress, and she haulted."Jewels, dear, come here please...""Yes?" "Sign the tag."

"You keep a supply of tags? Oh my how oragnised! But... sign? " She hesitated. "W... What about Automica? She did most of the sewing, I mean.. I just... did some last minute alterations." She looked to Automica, who appeared to still be distracted by some loading system.
"Uh.. A... Automica?" She smiled sheepishly.

"You should both do so."
She handed over a sharpie and the tag. "Make sure Atomica doesn't sign... Too large..."

Layla glanced at the other ghouls with the dress and looked rather discomforted but felt the need to ask.
"Are you ghoulsss not playing?"

Hellene's eye twitched and she grit her teeth as Atomica dropped the connection and retried on a 56k connection. Her feathers ruffled and almost popped her hair out of the elaborate coiffure Layla had so skillfully done. Her eyes narrowed. Truly, the game had begun.

Jewels turned to Layla and looked timid, chewing her lip and fidgeting like a scolded child. "S.. sorry... I am playing! Look!" She indicated her ridiculous ensemble.
Under the withering glare of Layla, Jewels simply slumped into her seat and looked back at Marceline and Doriana guiltily.
"S.. sorry. W.. we'll do this after the game."

"I'm, uh..."
Secretly, she hated truth or scare. But.... She also wanted to make friends. She slowly sat with the group, wondering what crazy question or scare she would get if she were asked.
"I'm playing."

Hellene put her arm around Jewels and brought her forward to sit with the group.
"You're already doing very well. You're still wearing the....er, dress, and there's plenty of other ghouls to werechicken out as the game goes on. Keep a stiff upper lip, as Draconia would say, and you'll see. This game is the beast!"
"Oh...have you played it much?" Jewels asked timidly.
Hellene beamed.
"I used too, but then mother banned it. Too many sisters reliving petty arguments but that's Melly's own fault for stealing my scarf and it's not like she needed her hair that badly anyway," she replied, pulling out some of her talon polish, "now while we wait for the next turn, how about I do your nails in some sparkles?"

"I uh... " Jewels wasn't totally sure what to make of the sudden attention, but she nodded at the offer of sparkles. Who could resist sparkles?
"I i... would like that.. t.. thank you." She held out a hand, it was going to take a lot of polish to sparkle up those claws.

Hellene gasped with delight.
"My, what big claws you have!"
"Oh, er w-well..." Jewels began, blushing.
"This is wonderful, most monsters like werewolves have these itty bitty little claws though they'll tell you 'oh I can rip a tree limb from limb' but that's just tough-guy-talk, they can barely scratch through the bark and they whine about the splinters, Romulus is such a baby. Meanwhile I'm shredding through shoes without even trying. The only other ghoul I've seen with claw this big besides me is Draconia, and she files them a little so she doesn't tear the books but that doesn't stop us from painting them in jewel tones!"
Hellene dumped a bag out between herself and Jewels. Bottles every color of the rainbow (though admittedly a preponderance of blues and oranges) spilled forth. Some were filled with sparkles, some were opalescent and some were even matte (thought she'd left the magnetic finishes at home, in case Atomica wanted her finger-casings varnished). Like all of Hellene's accessories it was a riot of bright color.
"And you know what we can do?" she asked excitedly.
"Uh..." Jewels tried to speak, but was both stunned by the attention and found it hard to find a place to get a word in.
Hellene fished a box out of the pile and opened it.
"Rhinestones! We can glue them on top when we're done!"

"Well um... " She flushed a little at the mention of her claws. "Mole person you see... need em for digging." Not that she had any dirt under her nails at all, ew, what was she? Some savage? No, she kept her frighteningly long claws clea, neatly filed and as short as was possible for a mole ghoul.
"oh my goth rhinestones! " She bounced excitedly. "It's like you just.. know me! Oh so many shiny things, you're like.. masteroftheshinystuff... " She babbled. "This is so hexciting.. I don't think i've ever had a manicure before. I mean I do it myself but.. it'snotthesameyouknow?"

"Truth..." she said flipping her hair out of face. She smirked at the robot

"Squrrrrrkkkkkkk!" Atomica made a horrible, grinding, creaking noise as she tried to access her database in the Cloud. This was not working very well. How could she demand a truth from Demona if she couldn't access her database of things she wanted to know the truth about?!
Fine, she'd have to go with one of the backups in her hard drive.
"Wh-wh-wh-wh-what is your m-m-m-m-most EMBARASSING bad hab-hab-hab-habit?! And you h-h-have to demonstra-a-a-ate it!"
