He shook his head quickly. "No! You explained to me that she hasn't been talking to you since forever. I thought that meant that you might be with her, but it wasn't serious. I didn't think that meant that I was just here to pass the time until she showed up, and don't give me that it's JUST the season after the way you were holding and kissing her." He felt like slapping him again, but held his hands by his side, gripping the fabric of his coat.
"I get harems, Barth. I do. You know that, but I didn't know I was in one with you. I thought we were more exclusive than that, so I guess if you don't CARE about being selective, being loyal, something YOU yourself said you liked in me, than I guess I'm free to kiss any boil I like too." He glanced around as if searching for just that, and glanced back at Barth. "You could have been more honest with me. To tell me you were still fawning for her as strongly as you do and sending her things. You made me feel as if things between you weren't really working. Yet when you saw her.........you wanted her here ...with you." His grip on his coat was tightening. ".....that I'm second best whenever she's around. I get it. I'm used to it - back home.........- but I just thought I was something more special with you. I guess it's my own jackin fault for believing how you made me feel."

"I have never," Barth said with sudden stiffness, "described myself as a monogamous person. But I don't want a harem. And yes, you're allowed to...as you like, Lilith certainly does. I only- Marks are a different thing all together. That's what all this is about? Jericho said...I thought there were," he lowered his voice, "Hunters here, that you might have been taken... I meant everything I said to you, damn it. I do still like Lilith. I can't help it, she's...you don't know her very well, but...I want her, yes, but I," And he felt silly and exposed in public, and lowered his voice again, "but I love you."

As Christof came by closer, Jericho could see that Calder looked rather tussled up. His hair was a complete mess. He was about to ask what the hell happened but Barth beat him to it. The answer, kind of baffled the dragon. He didn't know who Lilith was.
But in any case, it was obvious that the hunters weren't involved. This time. Letting out a breath, he slowly relaxed, though he was still a little confused at what was going on here.
"Good. It seemss you weren't in danger then," the dragon said as he straightened back up.

For a minute, she'd actually been worried by what had been going on, especially after seeing Calder and his hair. Then Drama struck. She almost immediately recoiled away from it, knowing better than to get involved. The pricolici took a look around the room to see if she could find anything that seemed..off... in the area as well.
Once it seemed that things weren't as they seemed, she took a deep breath, sighing with relief.
"I'm glad it wasn't..them...." she whispered, shaking just a bit and wringing her hands. For a moment, she lingered before looking back to Riley and the others. "Let's go back." Shehk suggested, making the motions to return to the group.

" I'm sure....you will be?" Mitsu seemed confused by her own words. It was a strange thing to comfort someone telling them they could be cold and callous again. Oh well, if that's what made Riyo comfortable. The shadow that had shrouded them suddenly moved as Jericho wandered off only to yell out for Calder. It made Mitsu's eyes go wide suddenly feeling exposed. What now? Well, at least she had Riyo. She continued to hold onto the ghoul's hand, petting it lightly like she would pet Ziggy. With care but with caution. " Maybe if you got something to eat you would feel better?" Mitsu offered. " There's lots of food or maybe some games to distract you for a bit?" Perhaps Riyo was just panicking. Mitsu often felt weird when she panicked. Her chest would feel tight and it was always hard to breath.

Her time with Mitsu had ended, and after a little bit of wandering around the games she decided to head back to the main grouping area; Jericho's yell for Calder had everything to do with it. The Kelpie was a new friend, and she was understandably concerned (and curious) as to why Jericho was yelling for him. As she got closer she spotted Christof dragging him out from somewhere, and even though she felt awkward she couldn't help but stand and watch what was happening.
Oh jack did it ever seem complicated!
She didn't want to watch this; this seemed like a rather intimate argument, but at the same time...Calder was her friend already. If he needed her she didn't want to be too far away! The ghoul shifted uncomfortably and then moved around, trying to keep as much out of the way as possible as she came up to Christof's wide. She didn't say anything, merely resting a hand on his arm. If Christof was there, she'd stay there too, for a little while at least.

It was nice to have that reassurance. Needed even, but he was still confused. He glanced around, and noticed a group staring, but he was a firm believer of saying things then and there than waiting for it to stew on the back burner. "I thought she was replacing me." He hadn't been sure, but he had felt completely ignored. True, he had been there, but Barth's eyes were dazzled by Lilith's presence. "..I didn't think you needed me anymore." His fingers continued to twist the hem of his coat. "...that you wouldn't need some dumb pony around with her there. Did you...send her the roses because ...she has more to give you?" Was he getting boring to Barth, or maybe he just wasn't meeting the demon's own standards as a boilfriend. In the end, he just didn't want to get dumb again. Even the threat of being alone at this moment, where just looking at Barth made the world seem soft, warm, and light - like one of his coats fresh from the dryer that you could wrap yourself up in - made his chest tight and the world seem darker.

Riyo let out a little squeak as their cover moved and effectively left them stranded out in the open. "Uh... S-sure. Lets go do some games or something. Heh.... Take my mind off stuff." Yeah. Stuff. By stuff she meant a certain boil who was probably teasing that ghoul in the pink mercilessly right now. That's what he was doing, right? He wasn't... Flirting with her, was he?
OH JACK WAS SHE LISTENING TO HERSELF? Flirting? What the ******** did she care? Maybe if he got himself a ghoulfriend he'd stay the hell out of her dreams...
Riyo's face shifted from panic, to disgust, to worry, and back to panic again in a matter of seconds. "Oh for the love of jack lets go." The ghoul gave Mitsu's hand a tiny squeeze before tugging her out of their corner and towards the games.
[Exiting to games]

Barth squirmed as the knot of people nearby ebbed in and out. The shout and the slap had drawn a lot of attention. He was starting to want nothing better than to crawl home to his own bed, where sloth demons didn't get into bloody complications outside of their sin set.
"I sent them because I-" he looked desperate then, like he was being dangled over hot coals, "...wanted to do something nice for her, that's all." A demon doing a favor without expecting anything out of it, for sheer niceness, was the reason he was so embarrassed. It wasn't like him, but this whole week everything had been... "I do need you."

Freya wants to get to know somebody!
It had taken forever, but Freya dragged Herryk back to the party, the shock of dying already worn out as the excitement of the party started to edge into her once more. Once she passed the threshold, she was looking more herself already, and bounced in place, looking around for any familiar faces. She saw lots of them, but they were all sitting together in tables, talking quietly. Lame! Coming up to the front of the room, she read all about what was going on, and decided to sign herself up. Meeting new people sounded fun, she guessed.. even if it did mean ripping her away from her schmoopy.
"Come, signs up for this things, and then we can goes and gets all the foods and plays all the games. AND DO ALL THE THINGS." Her hands flew up in the air as she said it, still bouncing with excitement.
Parties, even lame ones like this, always got her blood flowing.

Shehk was right. They probably should head back right now. There was no danger and it seemed to be an issue Barth and Calder had to resolve among themselves. Nodding to the undead, he began to make his way back to where he was earlier. Though, it seemed that the group had dispatched a bit since he wandered off. Some of them had gone to the tables while others had gone elsewhere.

Herryk wants to get to know somebody!
(As long as it's not Titus).
Herryk had been having a decent enough time before freaking out over Hel finding out that he hadn't actually proposed to Freya. Now that he'd put a (promise) ring on it, he was feeling pretty confident that everything was going to work out just fine should they be approached by Hel.
Herryk blindly signed up for 'this things' without even really looking at what it was. If Freya told him to do it, he was going to do it simply because he was a good boilfriend -- and more than that, Scarentine's was for ghouls. All of the pink and red and the hearts and the fluff and the sparkles and ... Herryk blinked owlishly, looking slightly dazed.
"Herryk still wishes to play this smash a hunter game. Or maybe Freya wants to go kiss some more? Herryk likes kissing Freya." He really liked kissing Freya, and suddenly it sounded like a really good idea.
Like, really good.

Shun wants to get to know somebody!
(As long as it's not Titus).
That last meeting had gone well enough Shun felt. Actually so far, he hadn't really met with anyone notably a pain to deal with. Making his way back into the main area once everything was done, he looked around to see where everyone was exactly. It looked like Mitsu was over by the gaming area right now. Though, she was with Riyo.

Freya grinned with happiness when she saw Herryk sign up without question. He was so sweet. She was the luckiest ghoul in the world. THE LUCKIEST. She held his arm and tugged on it, leaning heavily against his side.
"I makes compromise! We go plays the games, and we kiss while the other one plays, to see which one of us can plays the game while being distracted better. Yes?"
Kissing and games. And competition. She was going to be starving after all this fun.

His stomach was still hurting, and his chest still felt tight, but he guessed as long as he was needed, things were at a better level than they were. "You're not dumping me for her?" He asked, to be clear. "You're still on a date with me, right?"
