Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amrita's curious stare at G and Christof was distracted at least once or twice by a ghoul in fox kigurumi...was she friends with Tahki? Tahki liked kigurumi! She wanted to ask, she really did, but G was explaining what was going on! Patchy? Oh! He meant Christof...was going to hit someone?

"Christof...you were going to hurt someone?" The small Undead child said in pure disbelief. There was no way that was right! But G didn't strike her as the type to lie! Distracted once more when she heard her name, she looked over at Lucien who, despite calling out to her...was floating to Israfel, her once bandmate.

"Umm...Hi?" She said in a baffled tone, lightly waving to him. "But I'm over here?" This was spoken a little more quietly, still unsure as to why Lucien was heading to the Siren instead of her. Well...whatever! Lucien was a little weird anyway; but only a little. Sadly she didn't see Christof's wave as another ghoul reminded her of her terrible stalker.

"....NoI'mnot." Amrita insisted quickly, absently stepping closer to Livi as a means of protection, pointedly not looking at the slight slow from the smoldering creature stalking the bushes for a better view.

Oh, it looks like the thing with Christof was worked out! She didn't understand why G apologized, but now that everything was worked out, she gave a little wave to Christof, since she didn't remember doing it earlier.

"Umm...How do you play this game?" She asked, a little too quietly for those who weren't near her to hear. Truth or Dare seemed like a simple enough concept, but like the game of twenty questions she'd played with Lucien, it was bound to have rules!

Livi had noticed Lilith and shifted a bit more so that he himself wouldn't be. Thankfully, it was a bit of a well known secret (or maybe just well known to him cause he was observant like that) that she was a softy when it came to Barth, so he was a bit pleased to see her go in that direction. Don't ask him why Lilith made him edgy. She just really did. But he had stopped to get something to drink and was sipping it when he noticed Amrita and something... glowing behind her. As he was in the dark about her latest pet, he had no idea that it'd be something dangerous to her mental well-being.

Instead, he went and placed a hand on her head and stroked it gently. "Evening, little protege. You're looking... a bit better in style today." That earned some points and Amrita hadn't learned the point system yet. Ah well, he'd tell her sooner or later. "I didn't expect you at a game quite like this." Having heard her question to a companion of hers, he leaned down and whispered into her ear exactly what kind of game Truth or Dare was.

Holly quickly glanced at all the others and decided this was as good as any place to take a seat. She sat down, moving her tail out of the way as to not sit on it since it was only part of her kigurumi. This other seemed highly interested in her clothing at least, most thought it odd. Well everyone else did dress more normal than she did but she had not a clue why she was in this. She shook her head. "Nope, just found myself in it. If I did make this infernal thing it would have had fingers." She held up her hand to show the sewn together fingers. Holly flipped the hood up quickly to show the ears on it. "Does have a hood, I like the ears. Wonder if I can change the fingers..."

It was understandable no one had a clue as to what was happening. The posters she saw were so vague that it was given. Holly glanced at the two when Junko pointed. "Truth or Dare? Never heard of it." She hadn't heard of a lot of things though. "More people then I thought would be here!"

Her hair had been giving her trouble; perhaps it had been the dry air in Christmas town, but her bed hair had gotten worse and no amount of fixing could get it back it its original silkiness - well, at least not anytime soon! Part of her knew that she valued her hair too much to leave it be... She would just have to put in more effort to fix it!

For now though, thanks to her hair, Lizzy found herself rushing to the venue placed on a poster that was surprisingly tempting despite how mysterious it looked - while she did not wish for more excitement after the whole 'Christmas raid' episode, she did wish to meet more students - after the raid, the number of acquaintances on her mental list had increased significantly, but not her number of friends. For someone who was looking to succeed in the field of business (well, sort of business), knowing more people can only be good. When she finally reached the venue stated, however, the Demoness almost cried out in happiness at the sheer number of familiar faces in the crowd.

She had been looking forward to meeting new faces, but not alone! Then again, she had brought Rosenthal along as a way to break the ice, the minipet comfortably perched on her head, its head-wings wiggling happily.

Then, there was that boil she had not seen in a long while; while she was usually against hugging boils, G was special - he actually liked hugs! Wrapping her arms around the swamp monster's arms as much as she could, she smiled happily, "Hi G, long time no see!" She would fawn over him more, but Amrita looked like she was distressed and the Demoness wanted to fawn over her... Mostly out of (maternal) instinct for some odd reason.

While she hurried over to where the Undead ghoul and Livi were, she gave 'I am glad to see you again' smiles to Christof and Holly. However, upon spotting the ghost ghoul, Rosenthal decided to leap down from Lizzy's head and glide towards where Holly was seated. It then nudged the ghost's feet gently and looked up with eyes that screamed "PICK ME UP AND CUDDLE NOW PLEASE"; no matter what, it still liked the ghoul, yes it does...

More students were arriving, and the more students that came, the more Ren began to feel that this night would not end well. He was not exactly the squeamish type, nor the cautious type, and would have no qualms about joining in on the dares (or the truths, for that matter) but there were just so many of them.

Things could get sticky.

"It's good that you don't make it a habit," Ren said to LW, yawning. "That would be very odd and a little disturbing."

She giggled, her eyes sparkling. Ren arched an eyebrow, somewhat amused. "Not tonight?" he repeated, but she slid from his lap, moving to sit beside him. Ren felt himself exhale a breath he hadn't realized he was holding - there, that was much more comfortable. Not that he had particularly minded having a girl sit in his lap, it was just - odd. Especially since he did not really know her.

He shrugged, leaning back against the tree as his eyes fell shut briefly. "I hold it as well as any other boil. Not too much, not too little." He cracked an eye open at her. "What about you?"

Ah. Well, that was disappointing. But Junko did her best not to let her disappointment show through, instead looking curiously to Holly's hand to see what she was talking about. Huh! Well...that was odd! Why would someone sew the fingers together? To make paws? Hmmm! "I can fix that later if you like!" Junko smiled, her smile growing as she flipped up the hood up. Awwwww! That was adorable! She squealed with delight and let go of the ghoul to clap her hands together once. "That's adorable! If you like, I can see about changing the fingers for you...oh! How rude of me! I'm Junko!" How could Junko forget to introduce herself? You'd think she had an empty head, not a crammed one with too much in it.

Huh? She'd never heard of truth or dare? Junko blinked. "Oh? Well..it's a game. You just--geh!" Suddenly there were arms around her shoulders and a weight on her back, parts of her hair instinctively reaching out to wrap around the attacker until she realized it was just Yaya. Oh! Oh wait! Yaya! Junko lit with joy and leaned back into her friend, closing her eyes and patting the marid's arm. "You made it! I'm so glad~."

Riley was only mildly put out when someone moved to hug G, her personal chair of the moment. She leaned out of the hug, simply to stay out of the way.

A game party? What kind of game is appropriate to play outside in the forest in the middle of the night? She thought on that for a moment, and realized that the answer could only be something marvelous. Perhaps they were going to play hide and hunt. Was Sin here? She searched for a flash of purple that was not her own. This would be a perfect chance to accidentally eat her. No one would know any better.

Sadly, there was no Sin to be found. What a shame.

I'm glad to see you here, Christof. Whatever game this might be, I might need your help with any extraneous dragging. She really did have some frightful ideas of the kind of 'games' they could play this night.

Carthusia saw that Livi had at least known some other people here besides herself and dear Lilith, so she made an effort to mingle a bit more. The demoness sauntered over to the one in pajamas and regarded her oddly. "Did you sneak out of bed just to come see us?" she asked, pointing to the sleepwear. "Or is it just that cold out?" Really, she wasn't trying to be rude, just curious. She stretched her wings a bit and found a place to sit, near the girl in a kimono and the girl with pajamas.

Odd bunch, they were.

"I'm Carthusia, by the way. And you are?" she asked the two girls. She wasn't going to leave this party without at least meeting some new people to add to her list of possible alliances. Riley was another she recognized, and she gave the purple demon a small wave. More demons were appearing too, which was always a good thing. "Now, when is this shindig getting started?" She popped open the cooler and handed the girl in pajamas a Spider Cola. "Drink?"
