The surprise was clear on Yaya's face and Junko blushed, rubbing at the back of her neck a bit and smiling sheepishly toward her friend. "I get a small allowance from my father, and a secret allowance that he doesn't know about from my mother...and I've been saving for quite awhile." She explained when Yaya commented on it. But she didn't want to spend it on students! She wanted to spend it on more reasonable things! Food and fabric and sewing supplies and...and...not students! Did she really have to do this? "But I don't know who I'd even bid o--oh, it's Alcie and Sin!" Junko grinned and waved to the two demons, relinking her arm with Yaya's after. She turned her attention back to Natalia when the werelemur asked if they were signed up, shaking her head. "No, I didn't even think I'd be bidding until Yaya came. Are you up for auction in this?" Junko asked curiously, wanting to find out who was in this if only to appease Yaya if the marid insisted on her bidding. She might as well bid on someone she knew, right? So far her options were Sin, Alcie and Natalia then!
Though that black dog boil had very cute ears! Maybe she'd bid on him?
She held Yaya tighter when she heard her call out to West, casting a glance in his direction now. "DIDJA BRING YOUR LITTLE GHOULFRIEND TO PIMP OUT ON STAGE?" She called out as loudly as She could from underneath Junko's hair. The ghoul gasped, her eyes wide and a hand flying to the back of her head. What?! No! How could She do that to her?! Hopefully Sin's backflip was a good enough distraction!? Eh heh...pleasedon'thitmepleasedon'thitmepleasedon'thitmepleasedon'thitme! She chanted desperately in her head, trying her best to keep a pokerface. Stay calm, stay calm! Don't look at him! Instead Junko kept her gaze between Natalia and the stage. Don't look at West. Don't look at West!

His smile had faded a bit in shock when he first saw the ghost ghoul on stage, but enough of it remained to stop his face from looking angry as he raised his hand slightly and twitched his fingers at Alwine, somehow missing Sin's stretch-show altogether. When he felt the nudge of Holly's elbow, West's hand dropped like a stone, eyes darting guiltily from student to student. He hadn't just been waving back, nuh uh.
"Yeah, sh'kicked summelfass n'Christmas Town. Alwine's pretty... cool." He looked up as Yaya called his name, then tugged at Holly's arm to encourage her to follow. "I'should..." Jack, jumping when Yaya said so really made him look like a chump. He rolled his eyes. "C'mover if y'want."
As he approached the quickly growing group, West could have sworn he heard someone taunting him. Dammit, he thought no one had seen him wave back! But he also hadn't noticed anyone's lips moving just now. "Who'said that?" he asked, voice tinged with confusion as well as his usual anger.

Maybe it had been the fact that she had stayed up much too late the night before fretting over her "auction dress" or maybe it was the fact that wearing said dress was making the witch burst out into tiny little fits of panic (it was NOTHING she would ever wear and honestly she couldn't really recall who had decided she would wear it in the first), or maybe it was just the rather large trench coat that was used to having a petticoat stuffed under it, but in any regard, Belladonna was late. Running in heels was no problem, but clutching the trench coat tight against herself to ward off any untoward looks was rather hard. Eventually the witched showed up, clacking loudly toward Chuppi and her faced flushed with either running or embarrassment. Quickly, she scanned the crowd and didn't see anyone worth blushing anymore over, so it subsided slightly.
"Hey!" Belladonna greeted Chuppi, dipping down to give her a quick hug. "The bidding's started? Oooh, you bid on Tybalt?! Really?! Yay you!" Another hug was in order. "There are a lot of people here already, this is great! And WOAH! What is Sin doing up there?!" The witch had taken a faltering step back when she saw the succubus do a rather tantalizing, erm, stretch and placed a hand to her cheek.
"Hi Junko! Hi Yaya!" The witch waved to her two friends, linked together and near a girl she didn't know, but also! "HI REN!" Hopefully he heard her. Was he here alone today? Didn't he have a ghoulfriend?? And with a quick swivel of her head, Belladonna turned to the stage to survey them quickly. "Lookin' good Alwine!" She shouted, inserting her best fox-whistle (Which actually sounded kind of pathetic, actually...) before turning to Jack and frantically waving at him. "Jackb! JACKB!! You want to take Alwine to the dance? Or just on a regular date, or non-date?" There were very specific classifications and Belladonna needed the very specifics ones first!

While she waited for West to mosey his a** on over to her(He might have been a smart a** and insisted she join -him- instead, but who was the one walking, hmmmm?), she turned her attention back to Natalia with a bit of sly little grin. "No, we're not up for bid, unfortunately." The last was added with a little chuckle. "However, Sharra and I are planning on bidding." As a couple, yes. "Are you signed up?" From what she could recall from Truth or Dare, the werelemur hadn't seemed to posses many social boundaries, and seemed like she would be quite a lot of fun.
Close as she as it was impossible to miss Her comment on West, and Yaya, in her current state of borderline inebriation, couldn't help but laugh. She was quick to stifle the sound, but the damage was done. Smiling rather brightly, the djinn lifted her free hand to point at the back of her poor friends head. "The mistress, my dear. She mocks everyone." Really now, Yaya couldn't understand why Junko insisted on pretended She didn't exist when she started mouthing off.
"Oh look, Belle!" She'd spotted the witch right about the same time she was spotted herself, and her voice mingled with Bell's as they both called to eacher.

There were quite a few people all around, and Jericho recognized a fair share of them all. The auction in general seemed to have attracted a motley crowd indeed. He waved lightly to West, wondering if the Wrath demon was really going to try to buy a date. The guy didn't seem like the type to do that sort of thing, but whatever floated his boat.
"What do you mean I won't have to? This is with seeds right?" he said while looking back at Riley with a frown. Then shrugging, he added, "Eh whatever. Guess this could be interesting to watch, though I don't really know why you brought me here of all places."
Looking out at the stage to see the current lineup, he simply shrugged once more. There wasn't anything against them but they weren't quite what he was looking for. Then again, he wasn't exactly looking for anyone at the moment. This was a part of the reason why he wanted to know of Riley's intentions with this. Did she think he was desperate for a girlfriend?

Riley noticed a group standing together just up ahead, and came to the swift realization that she would be asked less questions if they were around other people, and not just alone. She stood up, holding out a small bag and jingling her seeds at Jericho. These are for you, if you see anything you like. She mentioned - which wasn't entirely a lie.. she would bid for him if he wanted her to, but that wasn't why they were there. She wasn't necessarily answering her question.. just stating a fact. She took his hand and pulled him out of the seat she'd just barely gotten him in, and led him to a table near Yaya and Junko, and eventually West. She settled Jericho down in a seat once more, before sliding into the seat next to him.
Evening Yaya, Junko. She looked up, and greeted the two from the table.

The warning glare West shot at Yaya might have escalated into full-blown mockery if the marid hadn't completely distracted him with her comment. Mistress? "Y'keepa lil... hag on'th'back a'yer head?" That was... well, that was just weird. There was no two ways about it.
West raised a hand, intending to give Junko's head a prod to see if he could make the miniature person he envisioned fall out, but it was at that moment he noticed Jericho and Riley approaching. "Hey, how'sit goin'?" he asked the dragon, narrowing his eyes a little at Riley. He was never quite convinced that the mindflayer wasn't doing something to his brain when she was this close.

Jericho frowned again. She really must have thought he was desperate to get a girl.
"I don't really need a date you know," he said as he was dragged over to the table where two girls he wasn't too familiar with were. He recognized them, but he never really spoke with either before. Waving lightly to them, he looked back to the stage for the moment while wondering if they were going to bid on any of the guys up there.
Turning back around as he heard himself addressed, he grinned a bit at West.
"Not bad. Riley decided to drag me here apparently. You looking to grab a girl here or something?" he asked the Wrath demon. There was another girl he wasn't too familiar with tagging along West it seemed. He recalled seeing her in the etiquette class along with Junko and Yaya, actually.

The look of horror on Junko's face when Yaya outed Her was indescribable. He was so calm! He hadn't tried to take a swing at her! Why was Yaya telling him about Her?! A deep blush rushed to Junko's cheeks, utterly speechless. She...she must know something Junko didn't. Was West not so bad? M-maybe he was like Nukpana and just an idiot with a bad temper! Yeah, right. He was a wrath demon. Such a thing wasn't possible. The Mistress huffed. "You're such a pansy, Junko." She muttered to the ghoul, pinching the girl's cheek with a bit of freed hair. Junko whined and swatted at the hair, tugging it away from her face as West asked about the...hag? Oh no. "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A HAG YOU PRISSY PINK PRINCESS!"
"Sh-she's...not a hag She's...gah! Nodon'ttouchHer!" Junko ducked her head away from his hand, though she did look up when she heard Belladonna calling her name. "Oh! Hello Bella!" She called out, though she still sounded a bit panicked. West was going to get mad! She just knew it! She'd...she'd do her best to avoid that! She waved to Riley and Jericho as well, clinging tightly to Yaya still.
"Hello, Riley! Ah...are you signed up?" Or Jericho, maybe? Clearly Belladonna was, so that question went without saying.

At the moment, Riley was clearly turning West's brain into mush. He just didn't know it yet because she was working slowly. Very slowly.
Or maybe she was just looking at him. Who could say for sure?
And hello to you as well, West. She murmured, her tone a touch sarcastic. He didn't look very happy to see her.. but somehow gravitated immediately into conversation with West.
Hm.
This couldn't possibly be why Riley was trying to get Jericho a date, could it?
Again, who could say for sure? It was a mystery.
She bent forward and placed her hand on Jericho's shoulder. No one needs a date. But there's many lovely ghouls here who want one. I think it's selfish, keeping yourself from escorting at least one of them to the dance. Besides, this event is for charity. Wouldn't you say that's a noble cause?
Riley looked, and sounded, the picture of sincerity. If it were anyone but Jericho, there would be no way to doubt her reasoning for a moment. As it was, however, Jericho knew her perhaps a touch too well. Before he could think too much on her question, she backed away to look at Junko.
Oh, I would, but I am already being accompanied to the dance by Malodore. She sounded just a touch pleased with herself when she said it.

"Alwine huh?" She looked at the girl he was defiantly waving to. That Christmas Town again? Holly made a mental note to ask about that later, she was collecting as many views of the place she first remembered for some reason. "Sure, not like there is anything else to do..." The ghoul followed him over to the others. The few of them looked familiar from the various classes and hi-jinx she'd been in.
"Mistress, who?" Okay, she missed something. Why were they motioning to the back of that girl's head and why does it mock people. "My my, this is a party now isn't it?" And here was Holly with knowing about half of their names. She mentally thought out who she knew and which she'd never seen. "Anyone actually bid yet?"

At least...at the very least, if all else failed; Natalia would be bought by someone decent looking. And just knowing Junko, Yaya, and now Renaissance were all looking to participate solidified this thought.
"Yup I am!" She replied smoothly toward the black haired ghoul, nodding her head once. Then, continuing soon after, Natalia bounced a few times on her feet. "I'm really, really, really glad you came! The turn out is getting better and better." before turning her attention toward the gryphon. It was nice to see him again, after having not for quite some time. It was also kind of nice that, despite the ghoulfriend, Renaissance wasn't against showing affection freely. Returning his gesture by pressing her lips against the side of his cool cheek, the werelemur spoke softly in his direction.
"You think so?" Pulling at the end of her dress and shaking it gently, Natalia chuckled. She could see the smirk forming at the ends of his lips, and tried to entice it out . "I kind of like it."

Yaya added her own hands to Junko's cheeks, though she had no intention of pinching the other ghoul. Instead she pulled her in an pressed the faintest of kisses to her forehead. "You don't have t be ashamed of Her. If She's being rude, call her out on it." She probably should have taken into consideration that someone out there may feel the need to deck the mistress in the mouth, but it failed to cross her mind just then. "Don't worry so much." Her left hand gave Junko's cheek a soft pat before she pulled the other ghoul in close, hugging her perhaps a little possessively.
Over her shoulder she could see West's hand coming close to the back of Junko's head, and she grabbed it before he could actually touch her. "Not a good idea, Westy." She let him go again once she was sure he wouldn't try prodding at Her.
Crisis averted, Yaya turned a lazy little smile at Riley, wiggling fingers at the mindflay from around Junko's shoulder, giggling ever so slightly. Oh she really was a lovey shade of purple. "You look pretty today."
Holly's question made her look up with 'hmm'. "Bids? No, saving my seeds for when Sharra gets here."

Christof wasn't quite sure why he was there. He had a date for the dance... well. As far as he knew, Master Barth had no date, maybe he could find him one at least? That would be a good Igor, saving his lazy master some effort by bringing one TO him, right? Yeah, that made sense. He looked over his options. Miss Junko? Naw, as far as he knew they barely knew each other. Oh, Miss Natalia was very nice, she had great proportion and Barth could use her tail as a nice nap pillow, he would certainly appreciate that.... he shifted closer to the make-shift stage, gripping the large sack of pumpkin seeds he had.... found.... while cleaning Barth's room over the past few weeks. Just. Holding onto it for safe keeping. Hmmm... AH! He knew that headless figure- that was Miss Alwine! He remembered her and his Master sharing a kiss (or so he thought it was a kiss) in that dreadful Christmas town.... ah! Maybe there was some hope there for-
And then Sin walked on stage, or rather... floated across in a display of negligee and shifting toned muscles and graceful proportions and all thoughts of internet stalking and careful planning suddenly went to bust.
He needed her.
He needed her now.
So... so he had a dance date but.. but.... didn't the little chupicabra say it wasn't just for the dance? They could have a raincheck for a "Date" later, right? Just... just get her back to his room or maybe Master Malodore's where all the tools lay waiting and gleaming and ready to go... no, no better his room with that new chair he had built out of things he had.... borrowed... from Master Barth with those lovely comfortable straps and... and...
His cloudy vision of pink and flowers and under garments dancing and floating about exposed lavender skin was suddenly brought to a halt as a voice called out 250 seeds.... what? WHAT? NO! NO SHE WOULD BE HIS!
Anxiously, the Igor pushed forward, raising his hand frantically as he held up five fingers. 500 SEEDS. 500. She was certainly worth more than 250 lousy little seeds and he'd be damned if he would let SOMEONE ELSE walk away with those gloriously proportioned parts...
I'm raising my hands in the air! All the players know that I'm layin' down [ 500 ] on this [ hottie SIN ]

"What?" West chuckled a little at what he considered to be a fairly extreme reaction from Junko before gritting his teeth at Yaya when she grabbed him. "Why not?" Really, all of this drama over some surly b***h clinging to the back of sewing girl's head? Although, now that he thought about it, why was her hair moving like that?
Once he had gathered himself and offered a stiff nod of greeting to Riley, he smirked at Jericho. "No, nothin'like that. I'm... passin' through." He had quite a few seeds in his pockets, but he was really only here in case a fight broke out. Speaking of which...
Had mister I'm-Too-Good-To-Sew-Other-People's-Hands just bid on the succubus?
"Well, I guess he'jus'did," West snickered in response to Holly, jabbing a finger in Christof's direction.
