Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fai looked at the smoothies. "I believe the red one looks interesting," he decided randomly--purely by color. Then he took one of the cups and made his own, trying to figure out how the machine worked. "This is more of that... tech... nology?" he added, fascinated with the machine. He was a bit disappointed when his cup was full.

But then he took his time sniffing and examining his drink. "Heidla, my dear, are you certain you won't try this? It smells fascinating!"

West followed Levi with a shallow nod and a smirk for her punny punch. A drink sounded perfectly acceptable right about now. Getting bowled over by a midget did not.

He growled down at the intrusion, but it was low and brief. Oh. Jove. West crossed his arms, remaining silent as the pair "talked."

When they both turned to him, his eyes widened as if they had caught him doing something he shouldn't. "What?" he asked with a shrug as the song changed. "If you two wanna... swing yer thongs'round on th'dance floor, you go right ahead." He couldn't really help it. He snorted, then brought his hand up to his mouth to cover the amused sound.

Shehk scratched the staples under her ear.

"Sorry. I said I'd stop that and I'm doing really badly at actually...stopping...." It was probably a 'move away from pain' response where Nuk had felt neglected by her -not- expressing feelings so now she was like...dumping them on poor Jericho.

"I did, I was wondering who they were. They go to your Father's parties often?" Needle inquired softly, being careful around the subject as she recognized he wasn't very comfortable with it. The way he scratched his chin hair drew another giggle from her, wriggling lightly as it tickled her. It was enough to make her tilt her head back, trying to get away from the thing that tickled her.

"All right!" She cheered softly, trying to ignore the really odd song booming from the speakers. The Engraver took a step back from him, though she did take his arm to head towards the food tables. "You know...you didn't have to hold back on eating to dance with me." It was a sweet gesture, but it still made her tsk under her breath. "The night is still young~" She smiled up at him, and then turned to look around, trying to spot any familiar body shapes in the crowd.



Junko? Fantastic. Why did that ghoul keep coming up? Damnit! Mac bit back an annoyed sigh, instead clenching his jaw for a moment before nodding; she wanted Junko? He'd find Junko! The Psychopomp craned his neck, looking around the crowd as best as he could to spot a particular ghoul. It took him a little while, but he spotted her. Not even a pretty braid could hide her evil.

"She's over there." He said vaguely, pointing Lizzy in her general direction. The You're Welcome was implied.

Yin had, of course, misunderstood him completely, though he was still touched that his boilfriend had made the effort to actually find somebody to help him get the appropriate clothing for this little event. Really, he would have been happy just to have Yin show up, and he cared very little about what the weremantis actually wore, but just knowing that he was willing to try, and to do something that he clearly had not enjoyed doing...well, he just had the best boilfriend ever, that was all there was to it! And now he was being all adorably fidgety over the compliment Alex gave him..or maybe it was from using his full name? Alex was well aware he could get away with a lot just by adding in that extra syllable and changing his pronounciation ever so slightly. It was now just so very tempting to lean down and tease Yin by whispering his name over and over again. As it was, the gaze he was directing down at his boilfriend had quite suddenly changed to something a little more then just friendly. Wait, he'd been in this situation once before already....there was something he needed to worry about now...

.....Oh dear jack if Alex wasn't careful he was going to say something stupid again! Words were entering his head, and once he thought of them, he wouldn't be able to stop himself. He needed a plan, stat!

Somehow managing to drag his gaze away from Yin, he reached down to his plate and grabbed a whole handful of meat. Screw staying clean, this was an emergency situation! He shoved it all in his mouth, and began to chew, whatever he'd been about to say now drowned out by various delectable foods. There, now if he could just stand here and remain quiet for a few minutes everything would be fine again. There was no more need to pani---

Oh look Mei had returned! Glad for the sudden distraction, Alex returned the wave she had directed at them with a very enthusiastic nod of his head. His mouth was still much too full to answer Yin, but he figured if he tugged on the other boils sleeve the weremantis would get the point. To further down the table! Hopefully Yin could manage to do most of the talking for the first little bit while Alex chewed away.

Gene had blanked during the entire spell with the sucker, the vampire, and Danny and Roch being Danny and Roch. She would have suffered caffeine crash right there and then, if Danny hand't screamed her name and told her to dance with the vampire.

Dance time?

Dance time.

"Hey, oretty boil, let's dance like the lady says." Up on her feet in a flash, Gene was staring intensely at Lou.

"Ohh, you're the best," Lizzy wasn't sure why Mac always seemed grumpy whenever Junko was brought up, but he got a kiss to the cheek as a reward, before she made a motion for Mac to stay put. It took a while for her to find the ghoul, but she actually remembered her from last year's prom - even though there was a change of partner to Herryk. Holding out a CD and a slip of paper with the name of a song on it, she gave Cady the best puppy eyes she could muster.

Hopefully that'll work.

"Um, I know that this is a lot to ask," She smiled sheepishly, "But could you, um, play this song please?"

Over the course of several minutes, Merope had nonchalantly made his way over towards the wall. He had lingered there, hands in his pockets watching the assorted students and guests with a mix of envy and uncertainty. This was... nothing like Scarentines, as he had thought it would be. He was quite inexperienced with social gatherings -- Jack, the last time Prom occurred he had spent the entire night looking for someone before ending the evening playing games.

Merope twitched his fin-ears at the thought. The prom room was a lot noisier than he expected it to be, filled with more people than he counted on. He glanced towards the door, then looked away clenching his jaw. No. He was going to stay.

The undead boil turned and began to walk along the wall, stopping to tie the non-existent shoelance on his non-existent shoe. There was a not-quite discrete RIIIIIP in the area before he stood up and began walking along, this time at a quicker pace. Behind him, if anyone bothered to look, the curtain appeared to be somewhat shorter than the rest...
