Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taima fought back a ghoulish giggle as Sal offered his arm. This was just like the high school-related movies she'd refuse to admit to her dying breath that she sometimes watched 'in an effort to better understand her peer group.' But hopefully there would be less singing. "Mister Sal," she replied as she placed her hand in the crook of his elbow and allowed him to lead her to the food.

"Mm, well, there's not much to me," Taima admitted as she disengaged from Sal. He had taken them close to the punch, and she reached for the cups stacked near the bowl. "I lived in the Blackened Peaks with my family until I was old enough to fly down on my own, and I've been attending school ever since. I'm 16 now, so...about three years? But my old school was focused entirely on academics and didn't offer any opportunities for practical application, so I transferred here. My course load didn't leave me time to develop many hobbies. I like to cook when I have time time, but I'm told I'm horrible at it." She had poured them each a cup of punch while she was talking, and she offered one to Sal.

"How about you?" Taima asked, smiling up at Sal. "What's your story? How did you come to be at Amityville?"

The prom seemed to be everything Freya'd ever dreamed of..

Until Herryk carried her off to the DJ booth.

Then it was a new dream, and she didn't entirely hate it. Because now, she was the date of the DJ.. and that was kind of hot.

He remembered that she'd been stalling, however, and a sheepish grin crossed her face. She lifted up, using her wings to hover just enough to kiss his nose, before dropping back down to the floor.

"I has teh looks perfects for yeh! But yehr busy, I shoulds go mingle-"

Cady came to take over the booth, and Freya realized Herryk would have no reason to stay away from her. Which meant.. she was going to get grilled.

And not in the good way.

"Or yeh comes and mingles with me, okay? I goes teh sees what our friends are doings! Yeh comes and joins me when yehr ready, baby boil."

She pressed her face against his chest and nuzzled it, leaving one soft kiss on his abdomen before fluttering off.

"It's.. alright. It had to have been hard," Jericho said. He had been in a relationship once prior to coming to the school. The breakup for that hadn't been particularly easy.

The dragon looked towards the dance floor as a rather upbeat song began to start. He heard Lizzy shouting that everyone should join on in. He tilted his head, then looked towards Shehk.

"...Should... should we?"

"Shall we?"

Invictus had attended Prom the year previous and had found it to be a very..minimal event in terms of his interests, but it had seemed like the girls were far more interested in the event, and well...it was good to go back to the familiarity of the school. It was sort of a shame to admit it in such a context, but an opportunity to be social was one he would take, he figured.

And a chance to spend a sort of 'date' with the girls? He'd take that as well as the fact that he was sure there was a face or two who would have liked to see him at such an event anyways. Such as their dear Junko.

It was underneath that pretext that Invictus entered the event - and it would be rather obvious that he was there because he was not subtle in any way shape or form. In fact, it was possible he was the most dressed up of any of the Horsemen, and while he didn't quite adhere entirely to the theme, it was as much as one of his clan could be asked to deviate from their standards with.

Never the less, it was time for the Protectors to come and crash the party. show their faces a bit.

It was probably something like this. Only with ponies and a conveniently placed fan for dramatic fabric billowing.

Suddenly, Freya was being pulled up by Lizzy, and she tripped on herself at the sudden action. But she didn't mind! The song that was playing had her feeling playful and excited, and she hopped right back up to her feet, and stopped in front of-

.. some punch.

Hey, Shun was holding out some punch! She was thirsty. So Freya bent her head in and sipped at his punch.

And by sip, I mean she slurped it up immediately.

"I'M ON TOPS OF THE WORLDS-YEAH~" She practically screamed at Shun, before tackling him and Mitsu in both of her arms, and hugging them terribly. Then she started lifting up into the air, though with two people, she didn't get more than an inch or two. She just dragged them towards the group this way, drunk on happiness - and definitely only that.

Breakups sucked!

Still, it seemed like there was something fun going on with everybody suddenly breaking out into a dance. Or rather, Lizzy wanted them all to dance and it seemed like if they didn't do it now, they never would get into the vibe of things.

She grinned at Jericho. "I think we should. It'd be fun!"

Was that Freya approaching? It kind of looked like her. Oh what the Jack!? She just...

...

Yes this was Freya alright.

"Freya, what in the name of Jack do yo--OUGH!"

There was a tight hug, causing the reaper to tense up. And the next thing he knew he was off the ground and being dragged off towards the dance floor.

"Teme, put me down at once," he hissed sharply, "Did you drink before coming here?"

----

Jericho looked from Lizzy to Shehk, then nodded a little shyly. With a very. VERY. Deep breath, he headed out to the dance floor. Oh Jack. Oh Jack. There were people. Lots of people. People everywhere.

The dragon began to stiffly move.

Was that a dance?
