LW almost squeaked. Almost. She managed to clamp her mouth shut before it slipped out and stop moving fast enough so she didn't smack into Ren. The she-wolf just gave him one of those looks (which on her was more amusing than anything).
"Our picture?" She blinked up at him, then at the camera setup they stood in front of. Oooooh. LW's whole face lit up, though it softened as Ren continued his explanation. "I agree! We definitely need something to remember this one by! And we're together now." She paused, and then added, "And while we are on this subject, you owe me a dance~"
Giggling, she rose up on her toes to place a quick kiss to his cheek, fingers lacing comfortably with his. "Well then, lead the way!" She added a soft whack in for emphasis.

He wasn't sure what the deal was, but Ren had been feeling absurdly cheerful and pleasant all day long. Maybe it was just Scarentine's, but maybe it was something else.
Whatever it was, he liked it.
"I owe you several dances," said Ren brightly, and then pulled LW over towards the camera. "After we get our picture taken."CLICK! Character name 1: Ren Character 1 reference links: x, with his hair short and a goatee like this. He is dressed in this, but with the jacket off (he's probably carrying it) and suspenders. Character name 2: LW Character 2 reference links: x in this dress, except it's purple, not black. She's wearing this necklace. Notes on Pose: Ren's flung his arms around LW and is holding her up off the ground. They both look mischievous, fun, and happy. Anything else?: Nope!

She felt...giddy. More so than was typical when with her boilfriend. Not that she was complaining! LW was enjoying being with Ren. That was the important thing! She did love the gryphon, after all.
The she-wolf giggled again, leaning against him when he pulled her over to the camera. Her tail wagged from side to side with her cheerful mood.
"That you do!" LW grinned and giggled. "And I intend to have you make those dances up to me." She glanced towards the camera. "After our picture, of course!"
"Happy Scarentines, kitten." She added in quietly.

Christof was still picking at the safety pin holding his torn face in place, but with Amrita on his arm, he felt like he was floating. He watched with a foggy expression as the Griffin and Wolf ahead of them smiled for the camera, blinking out of his revelry only once the flash had gone off. Oh, Hell's Bells, they were next. Amrita would have to make her repair quickly... He wasn't sure if he had had his picture taken before... maybe once or twice, but he didn't have any copies. He lowered his arm from her grip to shift his jacket around, if only to hide his embarrassingly flapping wing from view once more. "Hrmmm?" He grunted with a weak smile as though asking if she was ready.

Levi wasn't going to stick around at the games to hear about it. What usually would have been a situation for her to talk it over first with the wrath demon was instead a case for her to run. Her heels clicked at her fast paced walk, not wanting to look too suspicious about her mood. It was a foul mood indeed.
Levi would have waited the entire evening to see him again in that one spot if that was how long it took for him to get back to her. The event could close and the staff of gnomes could threaten her to leave, but saying she would be there, she trusted West enough to know he'd return as he said he would. Now, she needed to move; to get away. The tatzel ghoul was repelled by the place and needed to find another more secluded place to hide in where she wouldn't be stared down at. She felt like a fool for allowing herself to get so worked up over her time with West. He was seen arm-in-arm with another ghoul and her heart sank, ripping to shreds like fabric through scissors.
Why did it bother her so? Everything happening towards the boil was automatic- like she had little to no say in what she liked or disliked with him. She saw what she saw and didn't like it. Levi didn't want him to be so close with another ghoul who was obviously more ghoulie than her. Maybe West only wanted to hang around ghoulie ghouls after all and his befriending her was just a joke. That would put him right up there with all the other smart a** boils from back home in regards to cruel treatment.
Just keep walking. The tiny voice still buzzed in her head unable to produce any words of comfort over her blinding hate and rage for West.

In the short time it took to get to the photobooth Amrita had already started pondering when the last time her picture was taken was. Actually, she was pretty sure it had been a year ago this very event! Interesting. After her miraculous discovery she had settled on daydreaming, which ended abruptly as his arm moved.
"O-oh jack!" She squeaked out when she realized they were next, smoothing her hands down the front of her dress and moving to nervously play with the mass of hair that fell over one shoulder. Photos were kind of a forever thing, weren't they?
"Oh my! Um, do I, ah...do I look okay?" Despite coming to not really care what she looked like, she did care that the boil she got fluttery around would have the picture too. So she had to at least look nice! For him! She even checked to make sure her faceplate was still on properly and securely!

West hurried through the room, pushing past knots of other students as they screamed and worried and laughed. He had seen Levi's face and he knew that things were not all right anymore. No one had done anything wrong. Belladonna was acting like Belladonna, and he was acting like... someone else entirely, but neither of them had been aiming to hurt Levi. He had to fix this.
He could feel her anger like a beacon. She was almost glowing with its intensity. West rushed to cut her off near the photo booth, reaching for her arm as he let out a long sigh through his parted lips.
"Dont... go," he managed. "I thought we were gonna play some games." Maybe returning to her side would be enough to erase the sight of him and the witch from her mind. No, probably not. "I'm, um... just don't be mad." Seriously. It was making it hard to think.

His hand grabbed her arm, teddy dangling from her hand, causing her to stop. She flinched instinctively to pull it back, but to no avail. Looks like whether she liked it or not, his words would be heard; she was listening.
That's right! It was probably just a-❤
Don't be mad? Tellin' me not ta be-
Nope, the tiny voice was buzzed out again. Levi seethed with malicious intent and hurt. If comparing this instance to one other instance in particular where the tatzel had slapped him thinking the boil might have been dead... this was three times the sting of that one. West was telling her not to be mad about seeing him cozying up to another ghoul... after... after he had just been with her.
Levi's free hand fanned out and came straight across his face. She herself felt the after burn in her skin from the hit, curling a fist back to her chest protectively. DON'T BE TELLIN' ME HOW TA FEEL AFTER THAT!
Why did she feel the need to hiss at him like this? Was it really that big of a deal? Apparently so. She hurt inside and it was terribly awkward for her to try and make any sense of what was going on in her head and articulate it back to him. Instead her heavy breaths vented out in hisses. Angry hisses through her clenched teeth; this would not be a good time to narrate his events with this Belladonna.
Usually Levi would have enough sense to not portray weakness in front of a potential opponent, but there had been a lot of that happening tonight. In particular, her current situation caused her to panic about one question:
Was I not enough?!
Don't say that~ ❤
... what am I saying?

The slap didn't help. It forced his thoughts into focus for a moment, but those thoughts flip-flopped so rapidly from OH NO, YOU DON'T WANT HER ANGRY AT YOU ❤ to ANGER, YES and back again that the only conclusion he could come to was that he was completely ********. He was going to dissipate right here in the middle of this stupid party and when he reformed, he was going to be so screwed up he would never be able to string two sentences together again.
His hand loosened and crept up her arm as he spoke, finally stopping on her shoulder. "Y...you're right. I shouldn't've said y'shouldn't... Belladonna... she touches people. She was jus'glad t'talk again. After everythin' that's..." Stop, stop, stop! How could he get her to stop? His breath hitched, and without any sort of warning, West took a step forward, simultaneously pulling her toward him. The hand that had been on her shoulder slid around to her back, while the other snaked around her waist and tightened there. He raised his chin slightly and planted a firm kiss on her forehead.
"Please. I'm sorry."

"Look-beautiful" Christof signed with a smile, and popped a second safety pin onto his torn cheek just to make sure it stayed in place. That would do for now. He straightened his coat, and patted his head- his hat had gotten lost somewhere along the way, he have to hunt for it later- to make sure his hair was at least tidy. His first photo with her. And first photo of himself in a long while. He was anxious, and wondered how long the film would take. No wait- they were digital now weren't they? Like the little camera on his phone he sometimes used during Fear Leading practice.

There. All better now. ❤And it was; instantaneously Levi's features softened and her last exhale seemed to go on forever. All of her anxious and angered thoughts trickled away as if they never were. All was forgiven the moment his lips touched her. The ghoul didn't want to move so she just took in his healing touch, ear flicking only to hear the sound of a shutter. He was so warm it was impossible to resist not clutching, keeping him close. Her teddied hand was slid around his back while the other rested atop his arm which was also around her. They were so close that nothing else mattered right now. S'okay.... I trust ya, West. Shouldn't 'a jumped on ya like that.Levi felt a deep need to express that point now- that she had trust in him. She trusted him to... well, Levi actually trusted West in many ways. In this case, she trusted his action to mean that he was genuinely concerned for her well-being. Yeah. That was it. CLICK! Character name 1: Levi Character 1 reference links: Scarentines LeviCharacter name 2: West Character 2 reference links: Scarentines WestNotes on Pose: West kissing Levi on the forehead. It's a healing kiss, she'll be relieved by it. So will he XD Anything else?: She just slapped him. Feel free to have a handmark on his face.

At some point in the evening Yin made sure to seek out Alexander, sidling up next to him until his hand accidentally brushed the cooler one of his best friend and smiling up at him happily. "Thank you for coming here this evening Alexander." He carefully began steering the zomboil toward a dark curtain in one area of the room. "I feel confident that Princess Eva is enjoying herself," he added, though whether it was conversationally or simply to give him another chance to talk about the rabo was hard to tell.
"I have heard of something that is happening here this evening and would like you to accompany me?" He was admittedly nervous at this point, the curtain seeming to loom closer and he did not really want to step behind it, but is was something that he needed to do. Something he wanted to do for the zomboil.
"You were good enough to delete...that...that picture," he was stumbling over the words as he tried to spit out what he was tried to say, eyes fixated on the curtain that they were headed to. "And I appreciate it. I thought that perhaps...we could replace it? They are supposed to take pictures here." Now that the words were out of his mouth this all sounded like stupid and silly nonsense, and he was already regretting this. Alexander would probably thing he was ridiculous for even suggesting it.

Amrita beamed at his compliment, yet another blush creeping onto her cheeks; it wasn't the first tonight, and it most certainly wouldn't be the last. Probably. Hopefully. "You look handsome, too." She assured him; lumpy as he was, he was perfectly terrifying!
"How do we do this?" She murmured, watching West and Levi take their picture ahead of them. They were...being pretty close, weren't they? Hm. A sidelong glance was given towards Christof before she reached out, sliding her arms to hold his. "S-should we stand there, o-or, um...pose...?" Yeah, she had nothing.

Yin was acting...a little strangely. Admittedly, the weremantis often behaved in a strange manner, but now was even more unusual then what was normally typical. First he had come up beside him, in almost a sneaky manner, like he had some kind of surprise, and Alex raised an eyebrow at the other boil. "No problem. Thanks for inviting me!" He smiled happily, having had, for the most part, a fairly wonderful time. Though even as he spoke the words, Yin was suddenly taking him somewhere, and then asking if Alex would accompany him even though he was already being led along.
"Uh...ok?" He was genuinely confused and feeling a little flustered at this point. What in the name of jack was the weremantis up to? What was happening that was so important.
Suddenly he thought maybe intsead of looking at Yin, he should look to where he was being sent towards, and saw the black curtain of the photo booth.
Ohhhhhhhhh.
Alex's face split out into a huge grin. Yin wanted to get a picture taken? With Alex? That was great! "Of course I'll get a photo taken with you!" He said, happily, "I would have asked you earlier but I didn't think you'd be interested." Instead of being steered along now, Alex happily made his own way towards the photo booth, unfolding his jacket that was still being held over one arm and slipping it back on before turning and spreading his arms out, palms held upwards
"How do I look?"

And like that, it was over. West sagged with relief as the conflicting desires assaulting his senses merged back into the one he was currently fulfilling. He turned his head, closing his eyes and pressing his stinging cheek to the spot on her forehead he had just kissed, but only for a moment.
"It's okay, it's okay," he murmured, more to soothe himself than the ghoul in his arms. He took a deep breath, shifting his weight as the candy corn scent that always seemed to cling to her reached his nostrils. It was with great reluctance that he pulled away slightly, turning to look at her with a faint smile he didn't know was on his lips.
"Games now?" he asked, moving to disengage himself from the ghoul completely.
