Riyo's eyes quietly followed the booth as it did a flip in the air and crashed back on the ground, continuing to stare for a couple of moments as if it would do another trick. "Well alright then." Was all she could manage to say, recalling the couple of times she'd tried to flip over her own desk in frustration.
... Though, the mind flayer was apparently not frustrated in the least. "Do we get prizes from watching you flip over the table?" Riyo asked Riley, rather unphased by the whole thing. She figured it was worth asking.
Taking the now soiled towel in her hands, she gently sat it down on the now un-flipped booth. She wouldn't mind being in THAT kind of shape.

Mitsu hadn't been sure if she should say anything. Christof was apparently trying his best to hide what had happened....but Shun had already spoke up.
Carefully she laid her folded towel back down on the now upright booth, her ears falling back as Shun scolded her as well. At least her stance looked as though she was being scolded like a small child who had been caught sneaking spookies from the spookie jar.
Stepping back out of the way Mitsu looked to Riyo as she asked her questions apparently un-phased by the fact Riley had thrown the table. Demeanor made of steel this one.

Riley's frighteningly chipper demeanor melted away in the span of a heartbeat, as she slowly rounded on Shun. Those bright eyes slit, and she stood toe to toe with him, barely a breath away despite the fact that her breath didn't come from her face at all.
What cat army. A low, foreign, and entirely deadpan voice asked.
Did something just shudder in fear and skitter off a few feet away?

Christof straightened from his tidying when Roch had asked him his question, face flushing with shy embarrassment as he nodded slowly. Ah... the interweb. This was that new student he had spoken to? Before he could pull out his chalk board, Mitsu had politely come to ask if he needed help, and he managed to give her a smile before-
Mistress returned.
And suddenly the booth tent wasn't where it had been before.
the hunchback blinked in confusion before spotting the sugar high Mind Flayer and his eyes widened. Mistress! You're back! Er... I hope you had a good time? Nothing happened while you were gone, I swea- he started but stopped when Shun filled her in for him. Instead, he made a pained squeak in the back of his throat and scrambled for the frisbee he had overturned to use as a platter, a jiggling, defrosted brain in the center like a serving plate. I... I sent for these for you, Mistress!
Pleasedon'tbemadpleasedon'tbemad...

Looking at Mitsu, Shun let out a sigh as he seemed to have scared her with his words. Had he been that harsh?
"I don't mean that as a bad thing," he murmured more quietly before looking at Riley who was suddenly right in his face. Furrowing his brow and stared right back into her eyes, not quite sure what the problem was.
His stare broke briefly as he saw Christof came scrambling back with a brain in a frisbee.
Jericho made sure the booth was steady again, then glanced over to see what was going on. When he heard what Shun said, he paused and glanced around. Some of the people here were looking a little scratched up... and bits of white fur was all over the place. Tiamat's s**t.
"Oh! Christof has a brain for you! How nice.." he called out, hoping to distract her. He really hoped the cannon cats were not around any longer..

Please don't worry, Mistress! There... there was a bit of a... er... um... A... his brain scrambled for the proper way to describe it, desperation written all over his face as he urged the "plate" towards her again, But everyone took care of it very quickly! And wonderfully! Miss Mitsu the nice young lady with the mask there she had quite a way with them and they left post haste there aren't anymore around I swear!

Unsatisfied with her answer from Shun, she swiveled once more and bent down to loom into Christof, glaring at him eye to eye.
They were here? She growled, flicking the brain away with a touch of her finger.
She'd just turned away a perfectly good brain.
There's just no hope for the world.
Why were they here. Are they.. She stood up straight as a pin suddenly, and her head turned from side to side, searching. Are they still here. She whispered quietly - as if they could somehow hear her.
She could have sworn she heard a meow, and her entire body shuddered, before locking into attack position.

Mitsu seemed confused on what was happening, the mindflayer's personality had changed at the drop of a hat. She soon witnessed Riley face to face with Shun, the poor patchwork looking rather nervous and frantic as he came baring brains on a....frisbee plate.
The nervousness she had felt with Shun's words were quickly forgotten as it was replaced with something else. To say the mindflayer looked intimidating was an understatement. "I...It wasn't s-so bad." Mitsu stuttered out hoping to help the situation a little....somehow.

N-no mistress! The Igor mentally whispered, eyes wide with her leaning in so close. I er... made a game of it. Gave everyone a blunt instrument and er... gave away prizes for who could do away with the most. The rest scattered if they were lucky enough, I think they headed off towards the forest, hopefully er... the mental voice dipped back down into a whisper again after having picked up mental volume, If you need some traps or something I'd be more than happy to build them for you, Mistress, your infestation has really er... gotten a bit out of hand, I think.
He swallowed deeply, wide, terrified eyes rolling to Jericho before his brows furrowed. How DARE he let her eat that awful sweet stuff! He KNEW what it did to her! Are... are you sure you wouldn't like just a little taste, Mistress? It... it took a lot of trouble to get it for you... his voice was wobbling in her head as he once more tried to use the "platter" as a safety barrier between them.

Christof made a game of getting rid of the cannon cats? Riley straightened up, rolling her shoulders and relaxing back into a casual stance once more. Christof. She purred. That was very, very clever of you. Did you really have all of the new students batting away my cannon cats? She reached out and slowly pushed the platter down, then scritched a single claw underneath his chin affectionately, before turning back to Shun, Mitsu, and Riyo. Her eyes weren't as round and bright as they had been when she'd first bounced by, but they held a different sort of appraising glance as she eyed them carefully. Well, certainly I have made a bad impression of myself to some very helpful souls, then. Forgive me. I have somewhat of a problem with the creatures..
She brushed her hand away as if to change the topic, and then held it out for either of the three to take. Charmed to meet you both. My name is Riley, and I am the coordinator of the Fitness Club. Might I be so honored as to know your names, my valiant new friends?

"No. They're gone. They all left after taking a beating," Shun said. The way she was reacting, it was like she was afraid of the damn things. If that were the case he really had to wonder why the hell they were around her food source in the first place.
However, somehow.. things apparently had been cleared up. She was speaking to Christof, though he hadn't heard the boy say anything. Then again, considering she spoke through the mind, he supposed it was possible for her to receive word that way as well. The reaper wasn't sure what she was capable of in that regard and didn't like so much of the idea of having his mind read.
Glancing down at the outstretched hand, he took a moment before hesitantly taking it to shake.
"Shun," he said plainly. The sudden praise didn't really affect him any more than her more threateningly tone she used a little earlier.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Jericho nodded to Christof as the guy seemed to have managed to take care of things. Shaking his head to himself, he glanced at the brain that was left alone, hoping Riley would go ahead and eat that later on.
"If any decide to wander back, I'll be sure to dispose of them immediately," the dragon said with a nod.

If lopsided, patchworked, hunchbacked monstrosities of young men could purr, Christof would have been doing so as he melted into that affectionate touch. Clever... clever clever clever she had called him CLEVER oh, Mistress~ just as he seemed about to swoon, she pulled the hand away to address the others, and instead he wobbled, still smiling as broadly as anyone had ever seen his hodgepodge face twist. There will not be more. I set out poison, he announced proudly.
She had called him CLEVER oh... oh... sugar be damned. Cowering with the humility only an Igor could manage, he inched his way beside her, twisting his fingers, I did a good job of watching your Booth, Mistress! But I am glad you are back, I am no Booth Master. I tried to answer questions, it did not work out well. Mister Damien did a very good job of assisting me, though!
If Dem was on her good side, perhaps when she found out he broke into her room she'd be a bit more lenient.

It was strange that Riley seemed to be having a conversation with Christof, there were no spoken words on his part of the conversation. At least none that her ears could hear. But why did the mindflayer seem so ...tense about the cats? Mitsu was under the impression that they had been her's.
But the mindflayer seemed to mellow after a moment, a different expression being turned toward her and Shun. Had....had she just called her a friend? Mitsu wasn't so sure about being valiant, but the word friend sounded so nice. It made the tip of her tail begin to wag as she watched Shun shake the ghoul's hand. "I-I'm Mitsu."

Riley gave Jericho an affectionate mental nudge at the offer, after shaking hands with both Shun and Mitsu. She moved to head behind the booth, checking her boxes once more while she replied to Christof.
You did an excellent job. And I will be sure to thank Demi the next time I see him, as well. She stood up straight, and her bright gaze was back. But I think now we should go see some of the other booths! Aren't you the least bit curious, Christof? I've only seen two, so far. I want to go find Nukpana's booth, so I can flip that one too.
She reached out and put a hand gently on Mitsu's arm. It was lovely meeting all of you. Please consider Fitness Club when you are enrolled, we will be happy to have you. Take a flyer, it lists our amenities. And enjoy the Open House.
So happy. So cheerful. So friendly.
Don't get used to it.
Is that Human Studies? They're throwing things! Ah, how I love destruction.
And she was gone.

Ah- Mistress, wait! Your brain! The Igor suddenly lurched forward, still bearing his gift for her as he hurried off after her heals.
((Exiting after Riley))
