YIKES. Oops. Uhhhmn. Let's just. BACKPEDAL HERE. Fast. Very very fast. "What?" he asked, as if he had absolutely NO idea what she was talking about. "I was just pointing at them! Because of . . . what happened back on the field trip, chill out!"
He could feel that wall pressed against his back now, and though he knew (thought) he could probably get away from her if he had to, he'd really rather not test it.

Ren was wondering what the hell he'd gotten into. Sure, the whole spin the bottle thing was fine. He had no issues with gettin' a little lovin' every now and then, and it seemed like a fun game to pass the time. And LW was here, at the very least, to keep him company if things got bored.
No, it was the fact that he seemed to have stumbled into a very...confusing situation between the purple ghoul (her name kept escaping his mind, though he sat next to her in his etiquette class) and two dragon boils. They seemed to be having some sort of...conflict, to say the least.
"Er," said Ren, head resting on LW's shoulder as he slid his arms down to wrap around her waist from behind, using her as a leaning post to rest against (lazy gryphon was lazy). He stared at the trio of students. "Should we, ah...leave? It seems we're intruding on something here..."

All of Riley's tentacles slowly came back down, lying lifeless against her body once more.
Oh. She breathed out, as she smoothed his collar out and let him go. Well. That's good then. Good boy. She patted him on the head. But let's.. uhm.. not talk about what happened back there in Christmastown. Her cheeks turned a soft tinge of purple. Ever again.
She turned around, and gave Jericho an appraising glance. He, at least, had the right idea. She moved to stand in front of him, and then plopped down on the ground unannounced. Yes, please, continue with your game. We'll just sit here and.. ah.. try not to get in your way.

Oh thank Jack he lived. Reminder to self: DO NOT PISS OFF RILEY. Ever. He sighed though, eyeing her. She'd started to say before that . . . something about being turned out. But probably best to pick a new target just for the moment.
So he rounded on Jericho. "Okay so Riley maybe has an excuse, but you don't." Smirking, the lightning dragon reached out to try and grab the other dragon - intending to drag him toward the circle of people around the bottle.
Glancing over at Ren then, Aksaja shook his head. "No way! The more the merrier . . . besides, the door's locked now."

Jericho raised a brow as Riley nearly went ballistic on Aksaja. That was possibly the first time he had seen her so pissed. She seemed so deadly like that in somewhat of a lovely way.
"Yeah, go on ahead without us," he said before growling at the other dragon while trying not to budge from his spot.
"Is there a real reason why I should join?" he grumbled lowly, "The door's locked but I will get that key from that damned minipet. So it won't be like that for long. Now let go of me, Aksaja."

Her eyes were darting back and forth between the one boil (Aksaja) and the purple ghoul whom she still had yet to learn the name of. Then there was the one that...oh hey! Jericho. His name was Jericho. He sat on the other side of Christof in etiquette class.
"Uh..." She didn't want to disrupt their little...spat that seemed to be going on. But this was making the she-wolf very uncomfortable. She was extremely glad that Ren had come when he had. At least she had him. Though she had yet taken the chance to look around at everyone else here, too distracted by what she had first walked into.
The gryphon slid his arms around her waist and LW crossed her own. She tilted her head enough to lightly rub Ren's cheek in greeting again before speaking. "Well, that is kinda a problem. Having the door locked and all." Violet eyes regarded the purple ghoul, hoping she wouldn't get angry at someone again. "We're happy to play the game. Just...can we not have any more fuses lighting on fire? There...isn't enough room in here for that." And where the Jack was that squid thingy?!
Her tail twitched again and she glanced at Jericho. He seemed to be on just as short of a fuse as the purple ghoul. Against her better judgment, she decided to respond. "You should join because it is a game. Games are fun. And you could stand to use some fun." Her eyes slid to the purple ghoul next, taking in her mouthless appearance. "Y'know...there are other ways...and places...to kiss besides a mouth."

Yes! Someone who actually got it. Aksaja shot the ghoul he didn't know a grateful look and turned back toward Jericho and Riley with a grin. "Exactly! I mean . . . seriously. I dunno what kinda stuff you guys usually do for fun, but this kind of game? Is definitely fun. You just haveta loosen up a little. C'mon, it won't kill you . . . "

"I like games. I like games a lot. I actually enjoy many different types of games out there. Just not ones like this," he frowned, not all too impressed with LW's and Aksaja's attempts to get him to join in. The little comment towards Riley had him quirk a brow though. It put... a few images in his head for sure.
"I have doubts on how fun it really is anyway," Jericho added.

Well, that comment certainly was forward. Riley rose a brow at LW, staring for a moment, before the corners of her eyes crinkled slightly in amusement.
I didn't realize it was that kind of game. Here I thought you were all just using your oral proficiences. She gave Jericho a pointed, knowing look, before shrugging.
But.. I'd rather stay here with Jericho, anyway. I'd join if he does, but not otherwise.

Oh she would hmmm? Well, now this had taken the 'game' to an entirely new level! "Why not this one, Jericho?" Aksaja asked, leaning toward the other dragon.
"Maybe cause you know that you're not good at it . . . ?" he asked, clearly giving the impression that he himself was quite good at it. As in, better than Jericho. He shrugged. "Well, that's okay. Not everybody can be good at this stuff." Waggling fingers, he moved toward the circle. "Just sit over there and enjoy watching, then~"

"I already told you. I do-"
Jericho's words cut short as Aksaja suggested that he was better.. or at least that the red dragon wasn't all that great. Or both. It was likely both. For a moment or so he stood there with narrowed eyes as a fire stirred up within him. Challenge accepted.
"Get out of the way, I'm in," he grumbled while storming towards the circle and plopping himself down in one of the open spaces. He didn't look entirely happy about it, but there was no way in hell he was going to let the other dragon show him up here.

Claire was really at a loss of what to do. There were several new arivals and "OH CANDLEJACK THAT'S MY KEY!" she whimpered, hand flying up to her mouth in shock.
There seemed to be some sort of argument regarding the game's fun level, and Claire piped up.
"It will be fun... It's just been a rough start. And I wouldn't worry about the kissing thing, Rilen? Riley? Riley. I wouldn't worry. It just means less effort on your side. I'm sorry, did I introduce myself? I'm Claire. You may as well have a seat and grab something to eat, we're kind of stuck. Uhm... Don't worry about that tentacle thing for now. We'll find him. I also don't have a spare key, I ate it while I was sleepwalking. You may as well play, it'll be completely boring otherwise. And we can't call a janitor or something, we'll be in heaps of trouble. So, um, make yourself at home, I guess. Hello to everyone else, as well. Jerry...Jerich-o? It'll be fun, don't you worry. It's ok to be a bit unsure about it, but just relax. It's going to be great."
Claire collapsed onto the couch behind her and sighed.

Riley's casual, amused demeanor dropped like a stone in a well. Did Jericho just.. she watched him crawl over to the game, and blinked. And blinked. And blinked.
When she said she'd join if Jericho did.. she had been sure that meant she wouldn't have to join. She didn't count on Jericho suddenly changing his mind, and now she was left with a dilemma.
She really didn't want to play this game.
Her face contorted in discomfort, as she glared daggers at Jericho's back. Betrayer! She had just started to make up an excuse in her head, when the ghoul whose room it was started talking a mile a minute. Riley stared at her blankly as she went on.. and on.. and on.
After a speech like that, there wasn't much else Riley could do. She almost felt stunned into crawling beside Jericho and sitting in the circle. What bewitching powers did that little girl with the mouth on her stomach have, anyway? Or was Riley just a little interested in the game all of a sudden, and using Claire as an excuse?
Uhh. It's nice to meet you, Claire? She murmured out towards the couch quietly, before her widened eyes met Jericho. How, exactly, did we end up here again?

The series of events that followed had left Astra feeling rather bewildered, but all in all it seemed that it was about to get very interesting, and she was starting to enjoy herself...well, kinda. It was nice to see Riley, someone she was more familiar with, but Jericho was something she didn't really like. He seemed very stern and angered easily. But she had to admit it was weird to see the red dragon unable to escape a small room, when not long ago he had trampled through a whole town.
Having finished her cookie, she was content to merely float around, seeing as riley was to busy talking to others, including a yellow-looking dragon she hadn't seen before. However she was quick to keep near the roof when the Mindflayer became VERY angry. She didn't know she could get that angry...it was kinda scary to see.... But she floated back down when Riley seemed to cool down. The discussion that follow left the fae to ponder. She wasn't entirely concerned about the kissing idea. the red wolf had said they didn't need to actually smooch, right? and that it would be fun! so she was game to join in. When everyone began to sit around the bottle, she was quick to follow suit in picking a free spot, waving towards all the other boils there.

She didn’t mind that Claire had become distracted during their introductory talk, there was far too much going on for her to be the host with the most, so Sarias had sat herself down, her legs peeping out of her tattered skirt, an arm holding her up as she rested her head to one side watching the new people go by. She had never been to an event like this but she was forcing herself to be in rooms with more people, detention was riding on it with outbursts during over-crammed class rooms and days trips. The professors had made sure she never forgot.
Sarias had been sat watching all the action from her spot, safely out of the way of the events. She would have helped if it wasn’t for the fact that Riley had stepped into the room to commandeer the runaway beastie. Not that anything was going to happen but the memory of the Christmas play was all too familiar and Sarias smiled beside herself as she watched the purple alien try to capture her pet along with others she had never met before. “Those skills are certainly coming in handy” she thought as she watched them eventually giving up, deciding to join in on the game and the room become locked….the room becoming LOCKED! (@_@)
She listen to what Claire had said about the sleepwalking event. “Oh goddess, oh goddess, oh goddess…oh candle jack” Hands shaking, breathing ragged, temples sweating she stared at a spot on the floor ….OH un-lord she was going to blow chunks everywhere.
