Riley had a little pin on her label, as well. This was only because the moment she'd sat down with Israfel, he'd pinned it on her, and she hadn't bothered to take it off. She assumed the S+N was for Shehkpana, and it didn't bother her. His response, however, did.
They are certainly not perfect for their parts, she disagreed with a wince as they strutted about like fools. Her chest heaved upwards in lieu of a sigh, and she left it at that - the idea of dampening Israfel's obvious glee was less than becoming to her. She turned to look at him when he spoke her name again, and her head tilted just slightly at the question.
It took a moment to digest what he was asking at first, but none of that mattered when he teased her about both Malodore and Jericho. His teasing left her speechless, and she slapped her face with one hand as her only reply.
Then she sunk silently down into her seat and hoped beyond hope that no one had heard the siren's little joke.
Down near the bottom of her seat, her deeply blushed skin melded nicely into the dark purple cushions.

Having missed the first bit of the play; Mei quietly crept inside, quiet as to not draw attention towards herself, or disturb the cast. However tempted she was to foil with the play, she promised herself that she would behave. For now at least. If the moment came, where she was unable to contain her laughter over something humorous on the actors' half, then she would most likely leap at the opportunity to mock them.
Finding a spare seat, the ghoul slid down into it, making herself as comfortable as possible. Her eyes widened a little as she glanced at the stage; rubbing them constantly as she did a double take. Was that..? Was Nuk wearing... A dress? Oh Jack! Where was a camera when you need one!

This was fine. This was fine. This was fine. At least that's what Tess was telling herself over and over and over and over. She was wobbled slightly in mid-air, Amrita was squirming too much for her and making it somewhat difficult for the winged vampire to maintain equilibrium. "Note to Self, (and by self I mean you, other-face-of-mine) stop. Moving. So. Much," she hissed, in what she hoped would be considered a stage-whisper. Even if it was mostly Tess trying to calm the undead ghoul riding her shoulders.
She gave Nukapana and Shehk and Tybalt (where was Iggy!? :C ) an apologetic sigh, as if on behalf of Amrita. So, she said the wrong line, SHOW MUST GO ONNNNN!!! And it wasn't even that big of a deal, it's not like anything was really going to be "summoned" by the play. But the melodrama in Tess forced her to sigh, and hem and haw, before nudging the Vetala to raise her other hand (bearing the other ring, as Maritess needed both arms to help secure Amrita to her). "Well, I call upon the power of the Bells!" she declared with as much pomp and circumstance as a winged vampire with an undead ghoul riding her shoulders could muster. Which was surprisingly a lot.

"Ffffuuhhahaaha" Sarias quickly grabbed and twirled the two loose strings hanging from her jawline tight, her stitches became taunt and shut her mouth in time to stifle the laughter that was bound to escape. A stray tear (or what she thought was a tear) ran down her cheeks as she fought with herself not to howl out in laughter. She almost wanted to applause the fools, this. was. terrible! The idiot that did the casting was obviously an undead with the rotting surly gone to his brain. These jokers? as actors? Plu-ease! Her Gremlurk left more talent in tightly coiled piles outside the Reapers dorm rooms.

If Ren had thought the play was bad before, now he thought it was astronomically horrendous. That, and the fact that he was, surprisingly, somewhat less inclined nap than he had been a few moments ago was actually amusing the gryphon.
He debated throwing M&M's at the actors, but then thought better of it.
Someone had sat down a few seats from him; a girl with dark hair pinned back by two skulls and -
Oh. Was that her face? It looked odd, somewhat stra - oh she's a doll gotcha.
Ren shrugged to himself, popping another piece of candy into his mouth as he turned his attention back to the play. The actors were now warbling on about various items - something about snow and carols and bells..? - and the two leads were shooting each other glances that Ren could not make out from where he was sitting.
Oh, well. Ren crossed one leg over the other (probably annoying the crap out of whoever was sitting in front of him, since his feet were still up on the back of the chair) and leaned back to watch the rest of the play.

Any envy Junko had felt about not getting the part of Sally instantly dissipated when they began...to...summon? Wh..what were they...they were...oh, Jack. This was embarrassing. Junko sank down into her seat, groaning quietly. This was a disaster! "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" She barked with laughter, balling up the end of a section of hair into fist and hitting it against the arm of Junko's chair as She laughed. This was too funny! Ahahaha! Now She wished Junko had gotten the part of Sally so she could be involved in this! Haaahaha!
"Be quiet." She hissed quietly to Her, pitying every student who was in this play.

(( An OOC note; Zoo said it was okay for me to RP Icky even though his art isn't done yet -thumbs up- If there's any issues, let me know. ))
Getting into the school's theater early was pretty easy. The gnomes ushered, Icky snerked but followed. He figured this would be a good opportunity to skip some classes and catch up on some well deserved sleep (not that he didn't sleep in classes, either, and when was the last time he did any homework?). The boggart got into his seat, leaned back, propped his feet up on the back of the chair in front of him, pulled his hood up and promptly drifted off to dreamland as the curtains pulled up to reveal the present-clad set.
Here and there he would stir, being woken by the terribly off key acting (particularly Shehk's) as the characters began attempting to summon Santa with their Rings of Christmas or whatever. It wasn't until a certain Banshee's laughter caught his attention that he opened a black eye and his sharp teeth turned into a crooked grin. It made him laugh, as well, as she stifled herself by tugging on her stitches. Without even knowing this girl, he made a mental note of that trick--her appearance was one he was adamant not to ignore and now he would remember her face for a long while.
All around him were others snickering or balking at the acting and writing of this terrible piece and Icky's snaggletoothed grin only widened with each passing comment. The monster adjusted himself to a firm sit, removing his legs from the other chair and planting them on the ground as he leaned to the side. That banshee girl was just sitting one seat down from him diagonally, and he didn't bother to offer an 'excuse me' to whomever lap he was precariously leaning over. Thick wooden claws gripped the back of a chair for balance as he came within a safe distance of the blue haired ghoul so as to make a hissing whisper.
Hhhsssssssshh!
The sound slathered through his pointed yellowed teeth close to her ear. His black eyes upturned with amusement as he hurriedly pulled himself back into his seat as though he had been watching the show all along. There was no hiding a grin as large and noticeable as his, however, and the swift movement of retreat had knocked elbows with the student seated to his left.

She wasn't sure if it was the sound that distracted her thoughts from the sheer redundancy of the play or the smell that hit her first but either way the hissing sound slapped her good mood right in the face. Twisting round as much as her giant bird nest do would allow she glared slitted eyes at the students sat behind her. She had aimed for the most sparse filled area when first walking in, unfortunately choosing the back of the theatre was a bad idea, she had literally stumbled across all the students wanting to either sleep or get off with one another, sometimes both together. But had someone just shushed her, when she was having fun at the expense of others? No....Jacking...Way!
"Listen you candlejacks" She looked from one student to another in her range of vision, not marking anyone in particular but given several disgusted looks at the one who couldn't wipe the stupid grin of his face. "Whoever just hushed me better have some serious disease riding in their throat because no one just did that to me on purpose. Now, do it again and i will personally rip out your vocal cords, got it?"

At the ghoul's face when she turned around, his grin only widened. Her words neither intimidated nor dampered his mood and, in fact, only served to cause it to flare more strongly. A slimy snicker of a laugh peeped through his clenched teeth before he caught himself. Well, the cat was mostly out of the bag now, anyway, and if he didn't speak up then the others around who heard would easily just point him out as the culprit, wouldn't they?
"Bloody Mary," he choked out with a soft cackle. Gripping the arms of his seat, he leaned toward the banshee again and his stench worsened with the proximity. "I'd love to see that," his jaw closed crookedly, one side poised into a terrible grin taking up nearly half of his face as his teeth jutted out at all angles. His breath was putrid.
With a gentle tip, one of his legs crossed over a knee and he propped his chin up with a clawed wooden hand. "Be a helluva lot more interesting'n this s**t, wouldn't it?" Icky flicked a claw towards the stage, each action and syllable less believable or endurable than the last. This ghoul certainly hadn't reacted in a manner Icky had predicted but that made it all the better and more entertaining. As such, it was difficult for the boggart to contain his glee and that terribly off kilter smile of his didn't falter in the slightest.

Even though the play had started to gain her interest, the she-wolf found herself starting to dose again. Arms crossed, feet still up on the seat in front of her, tail keeping her legs warm, LW was quite content to take a nap in here. Until she heard the word 'bells'. That brought her attention to the stage again. What was this about bells now? She would love a bell. Not that she didn't already have plenty of bells. But one more wouldn't hurt, right? Her brows furrowed as she watched the stage. Was this really how this play was supposed to go? It didn't seem like the familiar version she knew well. So...what was this?
Curiosity peeked a little, LW took the chance to glance around and see who was around her. Anyone she knew? The sound of someone loudly asking, "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" had the she-wolf jumping slightly in her seat. She glanced around not sure who the Jack that had been. A ghoul nearby caught her attention. LW frowned. Something was wrong with her face. There was a large black hole...OH! Not wrong, broken. Her face looked broken. Cool. She'd never seen that ghoul before.

"I'm sure you would have made a most lovely Sally." Belladonna assured the ghoul, refraining from patting her for it felt too contrived but also secretly glad they both didn't get their parts, or they'd have to canoodle around the stage acting in love. It wasn't that Belladonna didn't feel fondly toward Colette, it was mostly the idea that she felt Colette didn't feel so fondly toward her. Which was fine! The witch understood that not everyone enjoyed her enthusiasm as first, but they always did eventually. It was this eventual fondness that Belladonna smiled wickedly at, glad that the dark covered it up nicely.
"I rather think they're perfect together too!" Belladonna chirruped, turning around in her seat to address and Israfel and letting out a tiny squeak at his get up. "You look... Very happy!" Honestly she hadn't seen anyone dressed up for a play as though they were attending a pumpkinball game. Was he perhaps hiding fearleaders in the wings?! "I like your... Pins too." Belladonna added feebly, looking between him and the purple ghoul sitting next to him. That was a ghoul, right?? After witnessing Nuk prance about on stage in a skirt, Belladonna was expecting anything to happen tonight and if the play was already being botched, she was sure something interesting was bound to happen.
Which was fine by her. She would certainly do her best to make the most of it. And this time there was no hiding the wickedness that tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"Isn't Barth in this play too?" Belladonna asked of Colette, trying to distract herself and bring Israfel and the purple-ghoul into conversation.

Sarias wrinkled her nose in disgust. Was this thing for real? The smell alone was making her gag but his attitude!? It was leaving a far worse taste in her mouth than his putrid smell. Looking him up and down she viewed this creature with a mix of utter hatred and curious amusement. His teeth hid a multitude of sins but she was quite allured by their mismatched nature, and that stupid grin? Well it wasn’t the worst she had seen, and she had to admit he wasn’t half right about this play, it did need some excitement.
“Play you cards right and I would be more than happy to oblige monster” she remarked back, he words full of spite and dripping with sarcasm. She pulled her long hair over a shoulder and glared half heartedly over the other, why was he still grinning!
“What a complete fool” she thought as she returned her view to the abomination that was the show. Rings? That wasn’t how it went? Where is the adventure into Christmas town, the plight of jack skeleton, his heartbreak and finally the sweet embrace of the two lovers finally united over hardship…..Dear un-dead lord it made her want to gag! Or was it still that creature? She gave a hurried side-glance to see if the monster was still looking, not that she wanted him too, Goddess no, that would be pathetic…But that didn’t stop her checking, just incase.

A snide snicker was all he left Sarias with as she turned around to resume minding her own business. His eyes remained locked on the back of her big bushy blue head until he heard more chatter from the play. Honestly, whoever had asked 'what the hell is this' a few moments ago was dead on: this was utter sludge and he would be insulted if he were some prissy demon. Instead, his amusement would not end.
To be fair, Icky was certainly no expert on the original tale of the Pumpkin King's descent into temporary madness over Christmas (and who wouldn't go crazy surrounded by all of that JOY for so long? the thought made his skin crawl.) but this play seemed particularly off. It seemed that Jack had already met Sandy Claws and everyone already knew about Christmas and all that but what was this ring nonsense? Was Sandy Claws something they could summon like a combination supervillain here to spread pollution and trash and-- oh wait, wrong person.
Still, the premise made him chuckle--if only at how stupid it was--and his eyes did leave the banshee for a moment, the moment that she glanced back at him to be precise. He could feel her eyes, though, and his grin had softened but not disappeared. With the way his teeth poked out between his lips constantly, it was hard not to smile to keep him from cutting his own mouth, but feeling a near constant buzz of delight and other people's misfortune made it decidedly easy for the boggart to continue day in and day out. Instead of simply pretending that he had stopped looking entirely, he decided to beat her at her own game and his eyes flicked back to hers in the midst of her curious glare.
She was caught, then, as if she had been staring at him. "What? You got a crush on me now're somethin'?" he chided, eyes narrowing as his grin widened. It was said loud enough to incriminate her and this was, indeed, his intention. It was his every hope that someone heard and either said something or spread a bit of gossip as this girl clearly had a swelled head (something Icky, himself, was not innocent of but it was always easier to try and bring someone down off their high horse than to dismount your own).

Tybalt took a couple steps back the moment the skinwalker's fist came up. Though he couldn't help the small bit of laughter that escaped his lips. Seeing a potentially violent Sally? Now that was something else! It was even more funny that this 'Sally' was Nuk. He looked ridiculous! "Oh don't get your panties in a bunch!" He hissed back; moving further away while doing so. He didn't want to risk being hit--especially by a 'girl.'
As the play went on, the black dog continued to go over in his head of what he had to do. Though to be honest, he was really counting on Iggy to tell him. He couldn't remember it very well himself. Probably because he only skimmed through it, once, rather than study it. Ah well! Nothing he could do now! The play was already bordering on being a disaster. What was a little more damage? Not that it wouldn't stop him from at least trying.
Okay now! One big circle around the group... He was pretty sure that was what he was supposed to do. It was a simple task. Even an idiot like himself could fulfill something like that. With a little more confidence, he moved swiftly around the group; snickering as he passed the skinwalker again. 'Zero's' role was pretty easy, all he had to do was move around. Unfortunately it also required him to bark and... Wag his tail? Jack damn it. This was going to really kill his image.

Sliding further into her seat, Mei propped her feet up on the back of the chair in front of her. Hope whoever was sitting there didn't mind, 'cause she sure didn't. The play was.. Odd. That was the only word she could describe it with. Well, that and boring! Where was all the action? The most she had witnessed so far was Jack slug Sally---something she wouldn't mind watching again.
Letting out a small yawn, she caught the attention of two other students, Ren and LW, from the corner of her eye. Unsure of just what either of them were looking at; Mei gestured to the stage with her finger, speaking in hushed voice with a small grin. "The play is that way."
