Maybe he was a great kisser but in truth the fact was the mask just fell off simple as that. A sudden jerking movement unsettled it enough to flop to the floor. Up until now Lattice thought TG was a kind and charming soul - at least to her and thus his betrayal of not giving her the mask as asked caused her a bit of dismay.
She'd known there were those out there like this but...
"No! I cannot, please TG do not be cruel," she didn't whine at him or pout her voice was a little shaken, however, since she was flustered and distressed but she was trying to be firm and as assertive as she could be all things considered.
She turned herself away from the imp, "Please? I cannot see without it and...It...is not allowed," Lattice finished lamely.

"Oh, come on, spiked sweetness. I'm sure your all types of damn fine." He turned his head, trying to take a peek, and then started to circle her, playing with the mask a moment as he spun it about his hands. "Just one peek and your mask will be back before the paparazzi can show up." He smiled. "And forbidden rules are always the best to break." He continued to move around her, cooing his words to try and get her to still a moment and let him have a look. If she really wasn't a looker, he had to know now so that he'd know to turn off the lights beforehand later on down the road.

Freya's laughter died down when Lattice's voice started to get to her. She sounded upset, covering her face with her hair, and TG was holding her mask behind his back...
Alarm bells started ringing in her head. She sat up straight, curled her arms around her knees and pulled them up tight, and her eyes narrowed as she watched carefully. She didn't want to fight Lattice's battles for her, because it was important for a woman to come into their own - but if TG continued, Freya was ready to lay the smack down.

For a long while Herryk was far too amused by making Freya laughed. He debated whether or not to keep chanting about Tits, and had glanced over at Lattice with a huge smile on his face when he noticed how distraught she looked. He leaned a little closer and finally noticed the little red man.
The little red man that had Lattice's mask. Lattice sounded utterly distressed, and that caused Herryk's hackles to rise.
He was instantly moving towards the duo. Promptly snatching up the mask, Herryk ignored the scratches he endured when he went to take the engraver's hand. He did not like that Lattice seemed visibly shaken, and by someone so small.
Transferring Lattice's hand to Freya with one hand and holding the mask out to his ghoulfriend with the other, Herryk turned back to face TG. He didn't look pleased.
"This flirting with Lattice is fine as long as Lattice is having a good time. But this little man has gone too far. Lattice is upset, and so Herryk is upset." Narrowing his eyes down at the small boil, Herryk had to wonder what would come out of the imp's mouth.

TG was still waiting, taking Lattice's meek form of protesting as her just playing hard to get, and simply waiting for her to test the waters of rebellion and taking a chance on peeking over at him. Really, he wasn't going to work too hard at it if she didn't, and was just waiting when he felt his hand tug. His hands gripped the mask, lifting him a foot off the ground before he released and looked up at a towering blue form took Lattice away and dragged her over to Freya, placed the mask in his ghoulfriend's hand, and then turned around to address him.
He looked up, already feeling the strain in his neck, as the boil narrowed his eyes, and in no way flustered. Big really didn't bother him when everything around his was always bigger. "Sheesh. Don't get your man thong in a bunch there, Muscles. Sweetness and I were just having a bit of fun. Didn't know her Daddy was prowlin about."
"And for the record, it's not Little man or Little dude or Little guy. It's TG, and your not the sort of guy I'd expect proper conduct lessons from." He had been here for when Herryk was going to sell his ghoul and then arrived to nearly punch some boil's face in. Not the sort of first impression to say 'I'm behaved' after all.

"Her name is Lattice, and Lattice was not having fun." Herryk's eyes narrowed as the imp kept talking.
"Herryk is not Lattice's ... daddy. This TG does not know Herryk well enough to make any sort of comments about Herryk's personality. Herryk and Lattice are very good friends, and Herryk knows when Lattice is upset. This little red TG does not know Lattice, so he would not know when Lattice is upset."
Herryk bared his teeth.
"Perhaps TG should apologize to Lattice."

Freya found herself on the same wavelength as the draugr she so very dearly loved. She watched him take charge of the situation, handing her Lattice as well as her mask, and stood to place the mask back on her friend's face. Once she had settled it carefully, Freya pushed Lattice's hair back and smiled up at the ghoul, leaning in to press a chaste kiss to her lips.
"There, all betters now, ja Lattice?"

She was going to try and bargain with TG for something else anything but for him to see her face but suddenly there was Herryk and she found herself relieved in a way that he'd taken charge and transported her over toward Freya.
Lattice was distraught that she had caused her friends to take time away from each other to come to her aid murmuring a soft, "I'm sorry," to Freya as she tilted her head just enough to allow the Valkyrie to place the mask back on for her and then move her hair. At Freya's chaste kiss she gave one back of her own light and sweet. These kisses actually meant something for her.
"Yes. Thank you," she said quietly to Freya afterwards.

TG was watching Freya and Lattice kiss, and didn't bother to look back up at Herryk. "Ah-huh. Yeah. Go on. I'm listening." There were ghouls kissing. Herryk's words were even lower down his list of importance than ever.

Herryk growled down at TG. He didn't have the heart to punch the little s**t in the face. Herryk did not find joy in beating on those who were physically challenged.
Like TG.
Bracing his hands on his hips, Herryk grunted quietly before lifting his gaze up towards the food court. His eyes fell upon a familiar face, and Herryk's expression lit up.
"Circe!" He called out to the reaper, turning over his shoulder to beam at Freya.
"Look, beloved. It is Circe!" Such a stupid boil.

Circe had pretty much downed half of her box of donuts before she noticed the hunk of a man-ness and bird lady laughing about something that had obviously been the funniest thing they had ever heard. Then all of a sudden everything seemed to take a turn for the worst and they were fitting with a spikey looking boil. As she sat there munching on a donut she felt like she was watching a movie. And it was quite an entertaining one. Even though she missed the beginning she understood a bit of what was going on, or so she thought. Then out of the blue the movie became more real when hunkadunk called out her name. What was his name.... Circe thought as she put down the donut she was eating and wiped off her face. "Herryk!" She exclaimed, jumping up out of her seat.
With a couple quick skips she made her way over to the boil and his friends. "Hey Herryk. Long time no see." She said a bit to happy. Her gaze shifted to Freya and it was a little less friendly then it should have been. "Freya right? We meet again." Circe said with a half hearted smile. Once again she looked back over at Herryk and smiled like no tomorrow. "How have you been?" She beamed, trying to make sure Freya felt the sting of it.

It was absolutely hectic at the maul today, and it was rubbing on Faint's nerves. And his shoulders, and hands, and any other body part that was accessible. Couldn't people keep in their own little space bubbles?
He'd only ventured here because his brother had been talking about a particular book and he'd been attempting to make it to Bards & Owls to pick it up as a surprise sort of gift. Little did he knew that the rest of the Halloween decided to pick up reading and the store was packed. He stood outside the store, peering in and looking rather disgruntled. Did he fight the crowd and try to chance getting the book, or did he fight the flow of monsters, demons, ghosts, and more trying to get to various other stores just so he could peer in to the same hectic situation at hoarders? Decisions, decisions.
His striped tail flicked in agitation before it came precariously close to getting stepped on by a big hoof and he tucked it in toward his body. Maybe he'd just stand here and look intimidating until they all went away?

Freya beamed at Lattice, brushing her cheek lightly with the back of her fingers. "Good! We makes it all better then." She enjoyed being a team of awesome when it came to her and Herryk protecting Lattice. She loved that feeling. She didn't necessarily hate TG, though - maybe if he wasn't so cute and tiny, she might have. But she'd spent a fair deal of time cuddling that imp to her bosom and didn't feel offended by him, so she focused on how nice it was to see that smile on Lattice's face again.
So focused was she on that smile, that she failed to realize Herryk was calling Circe over. The voice that eventually came to grate at her nerves brought Circe to her attention, however, and she flickered a side glance at the girl, barely giving her the time of day.
Her voice, however, told a different story. "Hellooo, Ciiirce." She drawled out in very easily audible annoyance. She clung to Lattice, partially to continue to comfort her, but mostly to keep from launching herself at the ghoul headfirst.

Herryk smiled broadly at Circe. He wasn't trying to instigate any sort of ill feelings between the ghouls -- in fact, Herryk wasn't bright enough to realize the tension between the two reapers. So when Herryk brought Circe in for a bear hug, it was purely because it was nice to see someone he remembered - someone who knew Mort, at that - from the field trip!
"What brings Circe to the maul today," he grinned, half-turning so that he could introduce Lattice. "This is Lattice, Circe. She is Herryk's dear friend. And Circe knows Freya, Herryk's beloved and most wonderful ghoulfriend."
He blatantly ignored TG.

It seemed that everywhere she looked, Imryn was surrounded by a sea of people lately. When thinking about Amityville, masses of students was not the first thing on her mind, especially with the odd reports that had been coming out lately concerning the school. However she was here and in all honesty had no idea what to expect when first arriving, but hey, today wasn't about school.
Today Imryn had decided to head out to the Maul to do a little bit of shopping. A few trinkets and things for her parents, possibly a few things set aside as small gifts for special occasions. That meant going out... in public... with the masses of other ghouls and boils out doing the same kind of thing. Crowds, not her thing... at all. Even groups of 5 people or so made her slightly nervous, but Im had been determined to get out of the dorm and do this, so here she was. Not that you could really call what she was doing shopping, just staying around the edges of the crowd and trying to peek in different stores without getting drawn in.
After a while of not finding anything that seemed to stand out Im took to just wandering the maul, enjoying the decorations and doing a bit of people watching from around corners. It seemed safer that way instead of actually getting involved and interacting... not to mention much more entertaining. Having just left a spot watching a small group of scarelings playing a few pranks, she wandered off to another area where a few ghouls and boils around her age seemed to be gathered. 'Might get interesting... one of them seems to be quite irritated at the boil who is being friendly with the other ghoul. Eh, if nothing else the fall out might be entertaining...' she thought to herself, settling in to watch from a safe distance.
