Mitsu was quick at Shun's heels heading toward the table Lizzy had headed toward. She had yet to really meet Mot so her eyes nervously glanced at the boil taking a step closer to Shun as her shyness set in.
Once they were close though a semi-smile tugged at the lupine's lips, her eyes going to Lizzy. "You're dress is so pretty, Lizzy." Mitsu did her best to speak over the music but she was so soft spoken it was still hard to hear her. "Thank you so much for helping with mine."

"LEVI, MITSU, JERICHO, SHUN! HAI!" She was clearly excited and high on happy, which was partially Mot's fault for spoiling her this early during the night, "Sit with us? I'm waiting for a few of my friends to arrive~ Ahhh, how are you guys liking the decor? Mr Jericho, you're not allowed to answer since you helped."
She giggled, patting the table she had 'claimed', "I'm so excited! I can't wait to see what games had been planned for the night!"
"Thank you, Mitsu!" She beamed at the ghoul, releasing Mot to go hug her, "You look lovely! Shun is a lucky boil~"

Back to normal.
That was Gabrian's initial thought when he'd woken up that very morning. No more holing himself up to study, and no more stressing over class, this or that. At least not for a while anyhow. There was also the added benefit that he'd managed to settle things with LW and was currently in the process of settling things with Ren. Okay, so... maybe not back to normal, but at least this was probably as 'normal' as Gabrian could hope things would get for the time being. At the end of the day it didn't really matter anyhow; all that seemed to matter was that he found himself willing and able to breathe in and smile.
The island trip was but a foggy memory, and though it was still cause of nightmares, it was no longer an ever present thought in the front of his brain. He'd shoved most of the experience into a hole in the back cabinet of the darkest, deepest room in his mind. Even if he hadn't done that, he'd probably not have had a moment to think about any of it that particular day anyhow. After all, preparations for prom night had taken most of the day and while he was going dateless, for the most part... he'd figured that was not really a valid excuse not to attend and have fun. After his break up with LW, he'd simply not had the heart to try to ask anyone out.
The feeling of arm coming to rest on his shoulder snapped the demon out of his thoughts and he paused briefly to look at the decorations, "Distracted," the word was murmured as an apology before he took in the surroundings, finally turning towards his friend to arch a brow, "You're going to take me dancing? How gentlemanly. Do you lead, or do I lead?" after offering his friend a smirk, he turned to glance at the other people within the auditorium; some of which he recognized and some of which he didn't.

Levi bounded up to the table where the familiar couple partners sat, keeping Jericho with her, and not straying too far from him in her excitement.
Were just talkin' bout that, actually, Lizzy! I'd never.......never ever seen somethin' so ...amazin' before. She elongated at points to emphasize her utter lack of words for describing the scenery. It was all beyond her understanding how students could come up with and build the incredible things compiled into this one giant room.
Over the erupting music, ears perked at something else Lizzy mentioned. Games? Like- games ta play 'gainst one another?

Ren's eyes slid to the side, one eyebrow arching in amusement. "Isn't it you who's supposed to offer to take me dancing?" he asked. "You're taller than me, after all. Although I must admit, I'm probably the man in this relationship." He waved a hand noncommittally, his elbow probably digging into Gabrian's shoulder. "But you're right, I am a gentleman. Much more so than you, of course."
It felt relaxing, being with the others again. The stress of exams, his breakup with Alessa, that whole thing with...well, he wasn't going to go there, but needless to say he was at the prom to just have a fun night out. It was a simple thing, something not only Ren could enjoy, but the other three as well, which was why all four of them had decided to go. On Ren's left stood Alessa, and on Gabrian's right stood LW, leaving the boils in the middle.
"All joking aside, you think it would be weird to dance together?" Ren asked, finally removing his arm from Gabrian's shoulder to slip his gloved hands into the pockets of his black dress slacks. "I don't know how these things work, really. I mean, I'm a decent dancer, but the last time I danced was with you, Alessa darling, at that Scarentine's thing. The one where I had Gabrian auctioned off and then bought him."
And he totally got me back for it, too. Ren rolled his eyes at the memory, then shook his head, gesturing to the dance floor. "Shall we all go, then?"

". . . ." Invictus's lips tightened again at the assumption that it wasn't the overwhelming sense of fear that had taken the mindflayer out of her ability to function, but rather his physical appearance. He was relatively sure his physical appearance had little sway on that front, but he made no point to actually correct the kelpie. 'I nearly killed her and her companions' was not a safe way to start conversation. "It wasn't nearly as exciting as you sound hopeful it would be." he said honestly.
There was only one time when someone dropping off their feet was .....exciting. And that was when he forced them to their knees to bow before them. The thought alone brought the first real look to Invictus's face that possibly anybody had ever seen; a wicked grin. It lasted but the barest of moments, but everything about the look on his face had been electrified with some sort of twisted joy..or perhaps insanity. It wasn't as though he had suddenly flushed all of that out of his system since being freed from the island, after all.
Not long enough for anybody to have snapped a photo of such a look, however.
"If you feel it necessary to rest at this time, then we may find a place to rest until the music is less..." he paused, "Erratic."

It certainly didn't take long before Lizzy had spotted them. Her enthusiasm was practically tangible as usual. Shaking his head to himself, he continued to walk along until he was a fair distance in front of her. Shun glanced over at them both, nodding to acknowledge them.
"It's... nice," he murmured, regarding the decorations.
---
It didn't take long before Jericho had closed the gap between himself and Lizzy, glancing to the side to make sure he hadn't left Levi in the dust.
"Looking pretty there Lizzy," commented the dragon with a wide grin, "And yep there'll be games alright. A little later once more people have come around and stuff."

The night was here, and Deacon might have actually been nervous. Two dates to impress, both of which he would have to be sure he paid attention to and danced with equally. Well, at least when Cady wasn't tending to her duties as one of the DJs, at least. With a ghoul on each arm, Deacon couldn't help but feel like the thumping beat as they approached the door wasn't quite as loud in his ears as the pounding of his heart.
When the trio had met up to arrive, Deacon had presented each of them with an orange rose accented with a sprig of baby's breath. Secured together with a thin yellow ribbon, strung carefully through a Luna Moth leaf, he'd hoped to make a pleasing first impression for the night.
He was being pathetic even before he got to the dance, for ******** sake.
Once through the intriguing and brightly colored door, the tabby gently loosened his lead upon each arm, wordlessly suggesting that they could pull away if they so desired.
The decorations that met his eyes were... Really impressive, actually. He couldn't help but grin at the sights, smells and general excitement of it all. The lingering nervousness, he figured, would not last long. They were all here to have a good time, and it certainly looked like the students involved had busted their butts making sure that the atmosphere and theme was perfect.
This was going to be a good night, indeed.
Deacon looked from Cady to Emily; "Where to first, ladies?"

All the preparation and all the shopping were now about to pay off. The night of prom was upon them and the buzz around the school could be no louder. There were students who weren't going who were talking up a storm. It was as if finals ceased to exist for a moment in time and the night belonged to the students. Almost a full year had passed now since Bul started attending Amityville and he had invested a fortune in friendships and schoolwork. Spending a couple hours preparing for picking up his date, Bul had his hair not slicked but carefully done smoothly making him look a couple years older than he was. Pleased with what he saw (and well.. smelt) in the mirror Bul adjusted his black and red pinstripe tie and made sure his specially fitted suit wasn't wrinkled. Next to the mirror sat a wrapped present in red and maroon stripes. It was about the size of a shoebox for boots and not very heavy. Inside was a gift Bul had picked out and made specially for Mei as an end of term present. Grabbing the box and his yellphone just in case, the half beast sent his prom date a text to let her know that he was on his way to come pick her up. It would've been silly not to arrive in a pair. Once he knew she was ready and decent he left his dorm and slowly paced down towards hers. ~ For the past hour, Mei had been conversing over the phone with her father. Perhaps it would have been wise to have filled him in on the whole..prom night issue earlier. She was foolish to think that he wouldn't ask so many irritating questions on what all would be happening, what she would be doing, and who she would be going with. She wanted for him to meet Bul, but well..with her father being the way he was, she would wait for the opportune moment to introduce the two. Once she had finally thought up a good enough excuse to escape the conversation, she hung up, tossing the phone over her shoulder while it landed with a small 'thump' on the bed. Thankfully, she was just about ready to leave any moment---if it wasn't for her hair..How the heck was she supposed to wear it? Up? Down? How would Bul like it? Experimenting, she eventually grew frustrated over the whole matter and gave up entirely, letting it fall down over her shoulders for the night. What a bother..Hopefully it would look okay down nezt to the other ghouls. Ghouls, who actually thought this part out. Bzzzt Spinning around, eager to move away from the mirror and hair dilemma, she reached for her yellphone and flipped it open to read the incoming text. Once done, the doll punched in a few keys, snapping the phone shut when finished. Tapping it against her lips in thought, she looked to the door, almost expecting Bul any second--not that he would. It would probably be several, or more, minutes before he showed. They may live in the same dorm, but their rooms weren't exactly down the hall from each other. "Okay..I think I'm ready." ~ Getting the response from Mei, Bul crammed his yellphone away in his breast pocket under his folded kerchief and waited outside her door. "Showtime." he beamed then knocked on her door, present extended in his hands. "You ready to steal the lights?" ~ The sound of Bul rapping on the door drew her out of her daze. Looking herself over quickly in the mirror, she made a face before moving for the door. Why couldn't their be a 'casual wear prom' or something. She would feel more comfortable in her own clothing, rather than a dress. This felt like the boat ride to the island all over again. A thought that would make her stomach knot, if she had a stomach. Breathing out, just for the sake of it, she reached for the knob. Opening the door, she smiled at the sight before her. "Don't you look sleek." She thought outloud. "I don't know if I will be 'stealing any lights', but you'll definitely turn heads for sure." Grinning, she couldn't help but feel a little smug that she would have the best looking date. "What's this?" She asked, looking from him to the box held out. "I---I didn't get you anything! Is a prom this a tradition of some sort?" If it was, she failed her half miserably. ~ Whatever Mei had said practically turned to liquid gold in his ears when she opened the door. Bul couldn't help but stare some- she really looked like a prized doll in a showcase window.. only Bul wouldn't keep her behind glass or anything. <3 "Wow... Mei what the hell are you talking about you look absolutely beautiful!" Together they'd really play up the reds at the prom. "Heh it's just a gift. An end of term gift, it's not just for prom," he smiled and let her take the box. "Go ahead and open it.. I don't know if you'll wanna carry it around at prom or not so.." ~ Flushing a little at his words, she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear nervously. "Thanks." Unable to hide her smile, she glanced to him and then the box again. With his permission, she tugged at the ribbons keeping it bound together, carefully removing any of the remaining packaging. Once that was all out of the way, she opened up, nearly awing at what was stored inside. "Its---its so cute!" Lifting the plush from the box she hugged it close. "Thank you! I love it!" Standing on the tips of her toes she planted a small, but affectionate kiss on the boils lips. She was definitely tempted to carry it with her to prom.  ~ "Heh.. I'm glad you like it, I went and spent a whole day at one of them build a beast places cause I wanted to make sure it was just perfect." Bul blushed some, not having any glowing side effects.... yet. After her kiss he bent his head down to kiss the top of her head and then extended a hand. "Are you ready to go then? You're free to bring it or leave it but just remember we're gonna be doing a lot of dancing." Redbull was about to make their grand appearance. Bul only regretted he didn't bribe Nuk or anyone else on prom committee to canon off confetti for them. ~ "You made this yourself?" She asked, staring at the plush in amazement. "Its more than perfect. Its the best gift I've ever received!" Still hugging the doll close, she would have to apologize to her other plush toys over the fact that she had a new favorite as of now. Of course, this one would be sparred from her odd habit of ripping and tearing. She wanted this one to stay just as it was. Smiling like a school girl as he kissed her forehead, she took his hand that he held out for her. "I suppose I'll have to leave it here then." Laughing lightly, she set it down on a table just inside her dorm, locking the door behind her. Though, she would be sure to hug that doll once she returned. "I'm ready."
Oogie Boogey's gambling hall was already plenty lively which was just the way it should be. In stepped a very crimson couple, Unstabul and Mei-Xiu. Bul looked down to his partner with a humble smile and then to the crowd that was already beginning to build around the dancefloor. "Now remember, you don't have to stick with me the whole time, this is a night of fun, enjoy yourself and we'll dance till we're purple-"
Before Bul could finish his statement his stripes began to glow, fading in and out with the beat of the music.
"nooo..... no.. not now..." he grumbled under his breath with a twisted face.
There was Riley, Calder, Invictus, Jericho and Levi amongst many of the recognizable faces but what really shocked the half-beast was the ay they'd all managed to CLEAN. UP. He was almost shaken but he knew he'd spent just as much time preparing for this night. As long as Mei was happy though it wouldn't matter. ((I am going to be slow now for the rest of the evening, please tag me if you can it'd help a bunch with keeping track!!))

"I'm glad you approve, Levi!" She chuckled before leaving Mitsu's side to hug the ghoul, releasing her after the brief hug, "We worked hard to get this place ready. Worth every minute spent though! And yes, games! You interested?"
She also managed to slip Jericho a quick hug, "Looking good yourself, Mr Jericho~ I approve of your attire! You sure you picked it out yourself?" She couldn't resist teasing him a little before moving back to stand beside Mot (rather proudly, I might add), taking his arm again.
Prom was off to an amazing start.

Roch was a bit late, and it made him antsy as he juggled four big bags of food and glanced at his watch for a second before knocking on Claire's door. He had taken the groanspring message from Junko to heart, and figured the easiest way to keep from starving during the party would be to get snacks before hand. But the prom thing (he still wasn't quite sure what it was, really) had already started.
He really hoped Claire didn't kill him for being so late. But the lines at the food places were remarkably long! And he hadn't wanted to ruin Moure's night, makin' him chase all over the world. He figured Moure wanted to get to his own date.

Mitsu brought up her arms to reciprocate the hug, something new that she enjoyed doing. Hugs were nice and Lizzy always made her feel warm and welcome. Mitsu pulled back shortly after so Lizzy could meet with her other friends, Mitsu hands moving up to her face rather nervously. There were more and more people now. Suddenly she was feeling a little exposed.
"The decorations do look really nice," Mitsu glanced around after her soft comment, looking at the dice and the casino like atmosphere once again. Her attention then turned back to Shun and the wolf girl tried to smile again though it was a nervous expression that ended up being displayed.

In keeping with his promise to Tess, Mac did not go to pick her up from Undead dorms. He didn't mind to terribly much after all, it gave him a chance to see the place before she did. It also let him figure out where everything was before hand, just in case. He had to be a good escort after all, since she had agreed to be his date! He was looking forward to Prom, he really was...there was just one person in particular he was not looking forward to seeing, and he knew that with their ever linking group of friends, it would become inevitable.
So until their paths crossed for the night, Mac tried to enjoy what he could as best as he could; he looked around at the tables, at the people...but he was careful to stay near the entrance, or at least within sight of it. One of the things he had forgot to ask was what time Tess would be there, and so just in case he had his phone safely hidden in his pocket.
A hand slicked through his hair - ugh he felt so naked without his hat! - and settled in to enjoy, pointedly ignoring the voice he thought he recognized, not even bothering to look over his shoulder to see if it was who he thought it was.

Oh! She hadn't complimented the other ghouls and boils on their outfits yet! Her sigh didn't last for long as Jericho took the reigns and handed a compliment to Lizzy. Levi had been glad for that and rolled along with it. Ya sure do look fine, Lizzy. Real sleek thar too, Mot! She nodded to Mot as she said this in a sort of " 'sup" fashion.
Yeeeeheeheee~ I'd love me some gamin' alrite! She rubbed her gloved hands together in anticipation of getting the chance to challenge a rough n' tough peers to a battle.
Her head tilted at the other couple and Levi took it this would be a perfect opportunity to introduce herself to the not-so-math pairing she'd recognized earlier. She slowly raised a gloved hand to the ghoul with white hair and ears... noticing she seemed a little taken by all the going ons. Or, at least, that was what she'd gathered. Never been 'fficially introduced, I'd reckon. Rememberin' we had tha' math class together tho. Name's Levi!

Gazing about the place in awe, she was amazed by all the effort put into the decorations. "Wow." was all she could say as she stared. They really had gone all out on this. Smiling up at Bul, she nodded. She knew she didn't half too, but its not like she wanted to go off by herself. She had come here to be with him, and only him. Well, that and possibly greet friends they would possibly bump into while here. "Sounds like a plan." Her attention was redirected to his markings as they seemed to...glow? "Whoa! I never knew you could do that!" Grinning, she lifted his hand up into view so that she could get a better look. "Is this part of your FEAR or something?" To be honest, she didn't really know that much about his FEAR yet. They never really got to talking about it.
