Riley hadn't walked far. She seemed to be coming from the newer booth, the one that looked frilly and was headed by the skinwalker. It had the word prom plastered all over it - there was no surprise as to it's purpose.
Her tense shoulders relaxed as soon as she reached her own booth, feeling almost comforted by the 'home'like presence it gave her. It helped that her best friend was still there, standing guard and watching over the booth.
Jericho was the most trustworthy companion Riley had ever met.
With a flip over the booth, her feet landed beside him, and she turned around to casually nod at the ghoul he seemed to be talking to. Her demeanor was nonchalant, as if she hadn't just vaulted over the expanse of the table to arrive at her destination.
Hello. She murmured to both, and then looked up at Jericho fondly. Did I miss anything, or anyone, good?

At the question, Jericho nodded with a somewhat devious grin.
"Yep! We have a boxing ring in the clubhouse. As well as some punching bags and whatnot," he said, "There's also paintball of course."
Glancing to the side as he caught some movement, he saw Riley coming on back to the booth. There was a new one nearby, he noticed. A prom booth? Interesting...
Grinning to his friend, he chuckled but slowly shook his head.
"Not really actually. Business has been pretty slow really," he said before glancing at the booth in the back, "We're having a prom this year?"

The moment jericho began explaining what they had, pokes eyes lit up with excitement at the mere thought of getting into the boxing ring. So they did have boxing and wrestling!
"That sounds awesome!" she replied, Grinning from ear to ear and trying not to let her mind go wild with scenarios where she was standing on a mound of bodies as she had utterly defeated with her awesome strength.
Her thoughts where interrupted when a purple ghoul had suddenly flipped over the booth like it was nothing. Safe to say poke was impressed by the maneuver, and pondered if she would be able to do that. Hmm..maybe, although her tail would get in the way.
The dragon ghoul then blinked, scratching her head in confusion. Was she hearing voices in her head? The other ghoul had looked in her direction, but hadn't said anything. And now the boil was talking to her. That was....a little weird.
"Oh, er, Hi there" She quickly said. "That was a pretty awesome flip." As for the prom booth, she hadn't bothered to check that out considering she wasn't even at this school yet. Plus, prom sounded a bit to fancy and girly for her.

Riley turned to Poke, holding her hand out for a shake. Why thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Riley. Has my dear Jericho been keeping you informed on our Fitness Club?
She gave Jericho a pleased gaze, and nodded swiftly to his question. Indeed we will be having a prom. Such the likes of which has never before seen on this land, I daresay. She had such lofty aspirations for such a silly event.
I hope you'll ask Lizzy. You two make such a fine couple. Riley's eyes crescented, and then she winked.

"Yeah it is pretty sweet actually," he grinned to Poke before turning back towards Riley. Well it was interesting that they'd be having one he supposed. He may have to swing by the booth later on if he had the chance. The scarentine dance was actually kind of fun, he had to admit. However, he found himself blinking at his friend before chuckling and shaking his head.
"We're just friends," Jericho said, "Though I wonder if I can just go on my own to just hang out. If not, I guess I'll have to start looking for a date."

Riley's pleased expression dropped slightly, but she waved her hand quickly as if brushing it off. I know you're friends. A couple is two people. You don't have to be dating to ask her to the dance. But, if you're really determined to escape escorting some lucky lady this time around, I cannot stop you.
...Well. I could. She hedged, as she tapped her finger against her chin. But I won't. At least you'll be coming, either way. I would be heartbroken if you weren't there.

"Don't worry, I'll still show up. Even without the date I'd like to be able to hang out with you and the others," he grinned, "But hey. Why escort one girl when I can escort a group?"
Jericho paused there, realizing how bad that sounded after he said that.
"... I mean just coming with you guys. Not... bring a harem.."

A single brow rose slowly as she digested the gist of Jericho's mistake, and her eyes slit mischievously.
Jericho. Riley murmured darkly. It was hard to tell how exactly she was reacting to the situation. Are you asking both me, and Malodore, to the prom, as your dates?

Jericho stared back and grinned nervously.
"Date? Who said anything about dates? I'll uh... be the body guard. You know. Ward off stray kelpies and cannon cats. Can't have my best friend's prom go wrong!"

Riley let out a dramatic sigh. You have a stigma against the word date. I can tell. But fine. We shall think of that way, then. As long as you're there, I am happy.
She reached out and squeezed his hand, before turning back to Poke and the booth.
I should get things cleaned up. I believe Open House won't be open much longer..

"Aha, It's great to meet you too" Poke replied, taking the other hand and giving it a firm shake, now realizing that the voices were indeed coming from the purple ghoul in front of her. Which made some sense considering she had no mouth. "The names poke, and yeah Jericho's been explaining things pretty well. Your club sounds great" Especially with what she had just learned.
The two then went into a conversation about the prom and who was taking whom, which she wasn't to sure how to react to. It was a little hard to follow as well since she could only hear Jericho talk out loud at times, so she just pretended she understood what was going on.
"Sure thing" She said to riley once she had been addressed again, now pondering about what she would do after the open house.

Smiling at the illithid, Jericho nodded then looked towards the booth in general.
"Yeah. Might not be a bad idea. Where's Christof?" he asked, figuring the Igor would be all over with helping moving things out. He looked towards Poke once more, however.
"Before we start closing up shop, was there anything else you wanted to know?"

Cady peered around the corner. Stealth was proving to be sort of difficult, what with the flaming ... thing sitting on the tray she was carrying. She sighed with relief once she realized the patchwork boil was nowhere to be seen. She was safe. It looked like the bat winged boil and the betentacled ghoul were also occupied, deep in conversation. About... Pron. Prom? She wasn't sure. It didn't matter, anyway. She tiptoed forward and placed her burden on top of the box the boil had knocked over onto his foot earlier that same day. It appeared to be...a blob. It had four arms. And earthworms. And a fork for a tail. Some kind of wing was also apparent on each shoulder. Completing the look were it's eyes, made from candy not unlike those given out at the Desu/Usa booth - one blue and one green. It also smelled faintly of baked goods and vomit, and some bits were on fire. Cady made no indication of why it was there. Or what it was for. Perhaps if you squint one eye, and cover the other, it might resemble a certain put-together chap, with a few extra appendages. The effect was, overall, horrible, and the smell was more than mildly offensive. Cady couldn't be prouder.

The hunchback in question still had bows in his hair, but had found his trousers at least and was hefting his boots under his arm with the look of a man who had Been Places and Done Things he was not proud of. Barefoot and miserable, his face still in tatters and by the looks of his limp other stitches were in need of maintenance, the moment he stepped into the booth he hurled the boots angrily int he direction of one of the piles of boxes with a loud clatter and a growl.
Where ever he had been, it seemed he had only just escaped and had not enjoyed himself along the way.
It had been a long open house. He was in need of proper stitching and a long hot soak in Barth's bathtub, he felt. He had been a good Igor, though hadn't he? He deserved it, jack dammit.
He had yet to notice the.. thing... that had been left for him.

The scent of burning was one that Jericho knew by heart, which likely wasn't no surprise. This wasn't just any sort of burning, however. There was the scent of burnt sugar. Furrowing his brow, the dragon looked around to try and find the source. Rather than that, he saw Christof first.
The patchwork seemed to have.. mostly recovered from that hellish experience that he refused to recall even more than the island expedition. After waving to the igor, he began to look around some more... and eventually spotted the...
"What in Tiamat's s**t is that?" he asked while staring at the... thing. It looked like a pile of melted candy... and it was currently on fire.
