Oh for ******** sake.
How Shehk didn't just have a meltdown between two angry and very powerful beings was probably just a cool head and the fact that the worse thing they could do to her was decimate her body and then have her guilt them over it later (not that she would intentionally), or it could have been that she immediately had to act.
Because the Rocker was making it worse. Her tail flicked and the glow in her eyes grew brighter.
Carefully, she wrapped an arm around Jericho's, and then another around Riley's, linking them in a sort of chain, tilting her head slightly at the very..tight...oh jack..she didn't need to see what.
She looked up at the Red Dragon. "Jericho. Jericho, don't obliterate the student body. That wouldn't bode well. Why don't you...I dunno, send him to the corner and put him in time out?" she wasn't sure why she made that suggestion (or why the fact the corner resulted in exploding had slipped her mind), but she spoke calmly. Then she frowned.
"If you breathe fire in here, you're going to hurt someone - like me." she added.
Shehk then looked to Riley, pondering the next course of action with her for a moment, sighing lightly before she just laid her head on the Mindflayer's shoulder, saying nothing. Really, she couldn't think of what to say, though she had been tempted to say something like 'Do you want me to hike my skirt up a few more inches and just stand nearby the rest of the evening as a distraction?'

Oh were they not allowed banana pants? Going up to Riley however he cooed. "Riley.. riley?" He chirped, cocking his head to the side. "Do you want the candy brains now? Banana man made you wrap him up and you seem stressed will brains help? I can get them and make things better if you like! I can make banana man a Dress too!"
Israfel really did think he was helping.

Amrita did her absolute best to not look incredibly guilty as Barth looked at her. She hadn't meant to stand and watch, really! As for the less complicated time of things...well, she didn't know what to think of that. It might not have been to Barth-and-Calder level, but....
Then the banana hammock happened, and after a moment of baffled staring she looked away, content to let the student council deal with...whatever that was.

What happened next completely baffled the dragon. Why did JD just drop his pants? That was ... not what he wanted to see at all. Needless to say, it was fairly effective in killing that almost murderous mood Jericho was in. The anger was still there, but he wasn't on the brink of killing the rockstar right now. To help calm him further, Shehk's words proved to work as well.
He glanced over at her, with somewhat of a look of conflict and confusion. Though, she was right. The fire would easily spread to her considering she was an undead.
"Right.. Right.." he muttered before shaking his head and taking a step away from JD. Others had gathered around right now, but he wasn't really paying close mind to any one particular person. There was that strange feeling again. Like for the moment that he wasn't entirely there.

In the midst of bananas in burritos, Barth began his own very slow trek to the bathroom.
After what seemed like an eternity, he looked at the counter with possibly more ardor than he had given either Calder or Lilith, and sunk next to the sinks, leaning against the tile wall and realizing he was out of it. Why did he go to dances. He always thought he could manage them, and maybe a little bit of afterwards, but they weren't even half through the evening and he was drained.
"It's not...so bad," he told Calder, every bone and muscle puddling. It felt so good to sit down. The bathroom was warm. He should not fall asleep. "Sort of edgy."

Riley bent in even closer, and if she had teeth, they would have chomped down on his face. You couldn't handle it. She seethed, before gently pushing him on one side, with the intent to make him topple over.
She felt the slide of Shehk's hand around her arm, and rocked back on her heels, trying to regain some semblence of calm.
I will relax, as soon as he is dressed, and out of my presence. She wilted slightly as Israfel chose this moment to come to her, and she pressed her fingers gently against his lips. Shh, little bird. Not now. This boil is starting to give me a headache, and I do not want anyone else to suffer for it.
Her head was starting to swim, and she shook it in an effort to regain focus. A turn towards Jericho found his eyes mirroring her glazed ones, and she gripped his arm, perhaps a touch too hard.
Go sit down. She warned him. It was not a request, and he knew it - especially since she wasn't letting anyone but those signed up sit down, normally.

Hearing Riley, and feeling her grip his arm pretty strongly, Jericho came back into focus. Sort of. He still didn't quite feel right, though. Staring at her in a somewhat glassy fashion, he slowly nodded his head.
"... Think we need.. to step out.. bathroom.." he murmured. He was having a hard time thinking as he was feeling rather numb now.
Again, there was no physical change within him, outside of his strange behavior.

JD fell over.
He scooted along the ground....Could he see up those ghoul's skirts?

Shehk looked between both Jericho and Riley with a bit of concern, patting Jericho's arm before she let go of him, her ears flattening. She wasn't sure what was going on, but..Riley was legitimately upset with JD, so she didn't press any further 'calming' onto the Mindflayer.
"You two just scared me for a minute there, that's all....." she said, though it seemed like a part of her was still kind of scared. She pat Jericho on the shoulder, leaning in to whisper to him;
"Talk to me when you come back, alright?" she asked, giving him a last pleading look before she stepped away.

Riley looked legitimately disappointed. This was supposed to be such a nice day. It had started out so wonderfully. It could have been one of the happiest days of her life.. but instead, it was all crashing down in the wake of their.. condition.
She grabbed a hold of Jericho's arm, and leaned down to give Shehk a hug. Watch over things for a minute. We have to take care of something.
She released the ghoul, her eyes still foggy and distant, and her brow furrowed deeply in worry. Then she led Jericho off, practically dragging him to the bathrooms.
When they arrived, it was clear the boils were having their little drama fest in the boils room, which she noticed as soon as she cracked the door open. It had been her first choice, but.. well.. Jericho was just going to have to deal with the ghoul's room, this time around.
She closed the boils room door, and carted Jericho off into the ghoul's.

Looking at Shehk a little inquisitively, Jericho nodded slowly before he was being carted off towards the bathroom. His movements were still a little odd, since he wasn't completely all there mentally. He didn't even notice that he was in the girl's room right now instead of the boy's. Nevermind the lack of urinals. He wasn't thinking ok?
Leaning against the counter, he closed his eyes for a few moments, trying to ride out the foggy sensation.
"This... We hatesss it..." he uttered while trying to clear his mind. To others it might not have been clear what he was talking about, but Riley had to know. Taking in a deep breath, he rolled up his sleeves so he could use the sink. Maybe splashing some water onto his face will help. Though, as he did so, he froze.
The dragon's eyes widened while he stared down at the exposed part of his arm.
"R-Riley..."

Christof wobbled, still holding his coat as the crisis quickly contained itself. Everyone seemed to scatter. Not that he blamed them- considering what they had just faced. Which left... he glanced across the considerably more empty side of the room to where Amrita still stood looking a bit lost and baffled. He chewed his cheek, gathering the coat to limp closer. Junko had thoroughly tailored even the vest underneath, complete with extra sleeve on his shirt and careful hole for his wing. It generally blended into the dark fabric, but in his anxiety, it flapped once or twice, and trembled back into a fold as he reached her. With a grunt, he motioned to the photo booth, face flushed, and offered her his arm. Things were... under control, as far as he could tell. There'd be no harm in just... enjoying the evening for a few moments, right? Maybe he'd straighten a few chairs and collect some glasses on their way just to be sure.

Shehk watched as Riley carted Jericho off, sighing a bit before she looked down to JD an- ...
"..... looking for something?" she asked, tilting her head to one side, lips tight in a sort of half-poker face.

Riley let Jericho go as soon as they were inside, and she locked the door behind them. She could hear the hiss in Jericho's voice before she even turned, but the fear was something she didn't catch until after she looked at him. The water was still rushing uselessly down the sink as he stared at his arm, and she suppressed a shudder before coming closer. She could feel it, before she saw it.
What's wrong? Give it to me. Her hands wrapped around his wrist, and turned his arm towards her, but as soon as she saw it she froze just as he did.
Patches of grey had started to litter Jericho's skin, going so far as to creep over some of the scales on his lower arm. They looked like dead skin. As soon as Riley realized she was touching it, her hand jerked back, away from him.
What the hell is that.

It didn't take long for Malodore to fetch up against the door to the bathroom, not pounding on the door, but tapping on it somewhat pathetically with its claws. Mia cara? Is everything all right? No, no, everything was not all right. Let me in, per favore?
Tap, tap, tap.
