She gave him a sympathetic look, the one she gave students involved in the most horrifically embarrassing accidents that only teens in a gym class can manage. "Well, at least you had a nice back up, right?" She peered down nosily at his phone a gave the message a smile, "He's still in work mode. I'm gonna spike his drink and hide his phone later, after he's grown complacent." Stepping back she beamed at Gale, noticed his stalker and gave a small, bright laugh, "He wanted to let Leia pick which flower he'd wear, and someone had left that on the kitchen counter." She then proceeded to run a thumb along his eyebrows, smoothing them out.

She barrelled into the place with the grace-- and force-- of a rhino. Her footsteps could be heard first, the clack of boot against tile as Clerise wove through the crowd, her braid clutched firmly in one hand to ensure she did not repeat the Grand Incident of 2009. "I'm here!" she shouted, clapping Ben heartily on the shoulder as she ran by-- he was probably negotiating a something, and if not a something, then a whatchacallit. She flashed him a grin and a wink as she wove through the crowd, dressed in dark formal wear with golden accents. "Hi hi hi hi hi," she crowed, probably a bit too loud (what else was new) and planted a sloppy kiss on Clarice's cheek as she approached, swinging an arm around the other woman's shoulder. She offered a jaunty salute to the little blond, and having caught the shhh motion to Clarice earlier, candidly and smoothly ignored Lina's presence. "What up, Pipsqueak! You're looking sharp, dude."

Thin, strong arms wrapped around William's waist as a small figure made up of long black curls and huge, poofy blue dress pressed against his back. A muffled voice followed, "You look like a princess!" The arms then began to rock him from side to side, tensing, as if trying not to pick him up and spin him around.

He groaned out loud at the return text, a deep sigh of exasperation. Gale shook his head, unconcerned over Clarice trying to read over his shoulder. "She makes the most awful jokes sometimes, I swear," he said, and typed back another message.Ol-j-man Text to Lina:...that was terrible. Terrible. By the way, I bet you look beautiful. smile
He fidgeted under her ministrations with a complacent "Moooo-oooom;" though again, the term was much more geared towards endearment, rather than an actual title. There was a clatter of noise and then Clerise appeared besides Clarice, a bright smile on her face.
"Hey," said Gale and grinned. "Thanks! I've got a date," he added, with a teasing wink. "You look great."

William watched Taym leave. Just because he was in a contented relationship didn't mean he couldn't appreciate.
He took in the ballroom, he might have been lost on the battlefield-
Yes, real life battlefields, virtual ones he could handle no problem. But the ballroom was something that was comfortable and familiar to him. They hadn't really had anything approaching these levels of fancy at home, but there were shadows of grandeur, and he'd had dreams. Social events just ultimately made him happy, even the landscape of sharp tongued vixens and harried families only made it sweeter.
There would probably be poetry about this later, it wasn't a threat, it was a promise.

With one arm hooked around Clarice's shoulder, Clerise flashed him double thumbs up, the corner of her eyes crinkling with mirth. "You are so adorable I want to shake you upside down, but your mom would probably not be happy if I ruined her work." She winked back, glad to hear it. He was precious. kurotomato he's so cute omfgofjpjgbhjfhigj

She glanced at his response and grinned some more, keeping back the impulse to reply with Naturally before tucking her phone away in the little purse hanging around her arm. The Jaws theme began in her head. Alright. I am speed. I am sneaky. I am smooth. I am ace at this. I am terrible. I. Am. The Cuddle Monster.
For being such good sports about this, Clarice and Clerise were treated to the sight of one Lina Richardson, in a muted dress and flats, fake gnawing on Gale's head with gusto, fingers curled like claws that swiftly descended to attack--only to slide under Gale's arms and snake around his stomach in a tight lock. "'I've got my eye on you'," she said with a triumphant grin, leaning up on her toes to kiss Gale's cheek hello. "That was the answer, silly~ Come on. Hurricanes, eyes--that was good, not terrible. And don't think that's the last pun you'll suffer tonight for your crime, mister."
Lina then proceeded to comfortably rest her head atop his shoulder, curly hair cushioning like a pillow, all bright eyes and cheer. "Hi! Please don't shake him, I'd like him in one piece still! Ahhhh, you two look so nice, though~" she cooed over the women, feeling even more girlish next to Clarice's midnight sky and Clerise's bold suit. "How's everything going?"

"Don't think I won't hold you to that, in fact I've already slotted you two for the weekend after Valentine's." Finally Clarice stepped back and slipped an arm around Clerise's waist. She waggled her eyebrows at Gale and Lina with a pleased little smile. Look at my ultra handsome lady date.

Clerise crooned at Lina's outfit, offering her a distinct head nod of approval. "You're darling," she said, referring to more than the girl's appearance, "and that helps your case, I'll give you that." She offered a mock bow at the compliment, leaning into Clarice's touch, like a cat stretching out in the sun. She was in her right place.

With a quick glance left and right, Damien walked in the room and pretended as if he had been here the whole time. Because he hadn't been napping beforehand and missed the start of the ball. Of course not.
He then focused on his suit and began to fuss with his neck tie. Seriously, who invented these things?
Maybe he could ask a Life tech to invent him a runic neck tie that tied itself up...
<.Tie that end around the other, loop it through there, and you're good>
Oh, so thats how it worked...

He grinned down at her proudly. "Yes. Yes I am," he laughed as he adjusted his arms under her before doing a dramatic spin to look around the room to see if he could spot either of Nevada's sisters. Or the dad - since Lance seemed to be a focus of some of his lady's concerns.
"Well I need to find a big bad guy first since my princess would beat up anybody who contended with her without her permission," he said, looking to her with another smile.
At mention of Dorian, Solomon also looked around interestedly for the frenchman. "That's a gooood question." Albeit he'd probably try to pick him up too.

"Care to make it a table for three?" His cell phone was once again blasting Hotel California, which Ben didn't seem to care as much or probably finally picked up the signal of Uh Oh Clarice Is Upset. He would probably have to get everyone a gift later, or bribe Mark to find something more Star Troopers themed, like that Yodel the Jodi plush Clarice seemed to like so much.
The Death lead kissed each lady on the cheek, because he was a damn lucky man, and then apologized as he detached the voracious corsage from Clerise's outfit, moving on towards Gale and his date. "Gale doesn't deserve you," this was said to the date with a wink, "but you treat him well okay. Gale's a pretty good guy. Gets his work done, shows up on time, and almost changes his boxers every day. I mean half a year ago he would wear the same boxers for a week, and then Clarice and Clerise had to get all over him and threatened to make him wear their spare underwear, if you know where this conversation is going." He laughed and nudged Gale. His cellphone, still ringing, had just started up with the lyrics.

Otto Brooks entered the ballroom uncertainly at first. He knew many of the people there, but crowds were always intimidating. The boy tucked some of his long hair behind his ear, keeping to the wall as he slowly shuffled deeper into the ballroom.

Upon Otto's entrance he would feel a pair of eyes staring intently in his direction, and if he should bother to look up and around he'd find his cousin grinning at him, small finger(the ones not connected to the arm currently being held by Maebe) wiggled in a small wave.

Otto smiled with relief, waving at Peyton. He then seemed nervous, making a gesture as if asking if it was okay to come over there. She was with someone. maybe she didn't want her cousin's company quite yet?
