As Minerva stood next to Wilson to eye his work, he crossed his arms and examined Jeremy. He grinned. “Why thank you,” he murmured and turned to see that Eva had gotten out mistletoe. Woah! He inched away, careful to avoid the plant, but relaxed once he realized that fate had chosen Gale and Tedan. All too soon he was smirking and nudging Tedan as he echoed Reine’s words. “Dance partner indeed~”
Wilson smiled at Reine and held out a hand. “Looks like it. I’m Wilson.” She waved at someone and he curiously followed her gaze. It was—“Jeremy. Why’re you shirtless?” Well, at least he had kept the tie on.

"... Whelp, not sure if you are still considered well dressed enough for our date," She wriggled her fingers at Jeremy before turning to smile at the strange female to kind of greet her. Since that was only polite.
"But since Clarice was the one who suggested it and she let me play with her minipets..." She paused, humming a Christmas tune again, "Eh, it all comes off eventually."

Petra merely kept her eyebrow lifted at him all through his run-on sentence, listening silently right up until the end where he reached up to loosen his tie. Reaching up to take his hand gently, she removed it from his neck, although she did not retighten the tie, leaving it loose around his neck. Somehow, it just made him look all the more dashing. Which was extremely hard to do, considering the pure sex that was practically dripping from him in that suit. Not for the first time that night, her midnight blue eyes dropped from his to linger over his form, giving the black material a thorough, unabashed lookover, admiring him in a way which was somehow completely clinical and yet at the same time distinctly seductive. When her gaze returned, there was a hint of something a little heated in her eyes, mysterious and yet completely telling of what she thought of how he looked.
Had the roles been reversed, the words 'you could always take it off' might have passed her lips. But as it was, Petra was far more subtle than that, instead allowing him to spin her to arms length, her skirt twisting again at her ankles as he pulled her back. His fingers slid up her arms, ghosting over her skin so softly she could help feel a little shiver, somehow managing to keep step with him through the tender touches.
"If you keep that up, you know the party isn't going to last very long for us," she murmured under her breath, watching him look away again and resisting the urge to sigh. Perhaps he was already looking for another partner -- somehow she didn't think so, but one never knew. Perhaps he had a bet with one of the other guys about how could dance with the most women. Her own eyes drifting away from him, they settled on Jerry across the room, giving him a genuine, if small, smile, giving him a little wave back.

"For sex appeal." He informed Wilson matter-of-factly, waving a hand off to where ever Clarice went off to.
"But Arry---" The Sun Trainee was about to start pouting, but luckily the crisis was averted as she mentioned, or rather insinuated, that the clothes wouldn't stay on anyway. He grinned, but then...had a bit of a dilemma. What girl should he dance with? There was Ariane, who he'd been trying to, well, do for years...or the new girl up close and personal, because she was up close and personal. And a new girl.
Instead, both bronzed, muscled (size varies by imagination) arms went into the air. "Who wants to danceeee?!"

"Nice to meet you, Wilson!" Reine was beaming as she shook his hand, taking in the atmosphere. It was so joyful! Everyone was celebrating! And somewhere, there were beautiful, beautiful presents! Waiting for them!
Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Jeremy stripping, and stared for a while, her mouth hanging open. What.. what was he doing?! And where had Otto gone? Reine didn't approve of Doing Questionable Things on the first date, and even if this wasn't the first date.. oh god, how much had Puppy been keeping secret from them?
Not to mention, Jeremy was sort of involved with Jude, and also with Ariane, and... did she need to have a talk with him about whether he was serious about Otto? At least.. they weren't kissing yet. At least, not in public. Like the other people. She'd spotted Petra and Robert dancing together, and grinned a little- whatever common sense or romanticism Robert had, at least he was using it now! Reine glared at Jeremy, giving him the 'I C WUT UR DOIN' look, and then her eyes wandered over to the desserts.

Minerva returned the hug from Reine with a bounce, nodding all the while. "Yes I can see that! The cutest reindeer here!" While she couldn't see anyone else with antlers on, she was sure if someone was wearing some they would agree with the statement. Reine was so cute. So cute.
Breaking away from the white-haired girl to address Jeremy, however, Minerva smiled and extended a hand quickly. "Right! I'm Minerva! Merry Christmas!" The greeting was also given to the girl beside him, her smile infectious as most seemed to be! Then the trainee stripped, and Minnie turned bright red. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Her face was turned away jokingly, although a part of her was feeling a bit bashful now that the guy had his shirt off.
((SORRY I CAN'T QUOTE ;; Super distracted! I'll try to reply as often as I can!))

Tedan was still kind of blinking in shock at the thing his brain had just handed to him. The fact that he wasn't particularly bothered by the thought of possibly kissing another guy. Because wasn't that what mistletoe meant??? Then a couple of people mentioned the dance partners thing. OH. OH was that what they were getting at here? No kissing? Uhm, okay. HE STILL WASN'T SURE WHAT TO FEEL ABOUT THIS. s**t. "Gale," he half-whispered. "Run for it, or go with it?"

Otto skipped down the halls back to his room, and sorted through his numerous suits. He had to find the perfect one! One that truly said he meant business! He needed to be taken seriously if he wanted to be noticed by Santa! And what better suit than his funeral service suit! Hey, he was the former scion of an undertaker! He had to look good. Otto changed into a much more business ready attire, sans the jacket. He looked more bad-a** without it. The teen reclaimed his shades and slipped them on, stepping back out into the halls. Now he just needed to figure out a way to be a better elf than Jeremy... On his way back, he caught a minty scent in the air. He followed his nose to the kitchen, where he found oversized confections unguarded. He stole a giant candy cane and ran off. BACK TO THE GALA! ... Jeremy looked like serious competition. Otto sized him up with a glare.

"We have all night to dance, Germ," She grinned at the male, eyeing his vest-and-tie combo before staring as Otto came in with a... Giant candy cane. Well, and an outfit change, but giant candy cane.
"You have stiff competition," She informed Jeremy with a laugh, pointing at Otto and his 'prop' before turning to look at the new girl, "Anyway, never seen you around before. I'm Ariane, and you are?" She sounded happy. Way too happy.

Wilson slowly nodded. Sex appeal! Everything made total sense now. “Ooooh. Gotcha.” Then Otto returned toting an outfit change and….GIANT CANDY CANE. He kept his eyes glued to the oversized candy. “Are you going to eat this?” Wilson asked with utmost seriousness.
That was until he followed Reine’s gaze toward the desserts. ಠ◡ಠ Dessert.

Looking over the crowd, was one particular blonde trainee. How long had he been there? That was probably a good question. Somehow, he had managed to lay low. But quite frankly, he couldn't stuff down his excitement to try and look suave for much longer. A bigass grin soon came upon his face and he took in a deep breath. "ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS! EVERYWHERE I GOOOOOOO~" he sang out, a little faster than how the song was actually supposed to go. A secret agent, he was not.

"Minerva! Pretty name, pretty girl. I'm Jeremy!" He shook the offered hand with a great enthusiasm, practically grinning ear to ear. It was Ariane's comment that dragged his attention back to the midget Pokemon Trainer...who underwent a costume change.
"Ash's back!" He said happily, about to reach out to ruffle the other Trainee's hair when he spotted...the candycane. Oh damn, he wanted a candy cane now. Badly! He chewed on his bottom lip for a moment, trying to ignore the intense feeling to bite something. The sugary something.
"Is that going to help you be the best, Ash? Like no one ever was?" That was an awefully big candy cane after all. Wilson's suggestion only prompted a horrified look from the Sun Trainee. "How would you even put your mouth around-----" He cut himself off with a whoop of approval at the song the new person was singing.

"Death Spy, looking good. But it's festive out there! Take this with you.." Clarice helpfully handed him a santa hat and went off singing, "Toys in every store! But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be..." Did you see that Santa? You see that? This elf knows how to work a room, ok.

"PUPPY YOU"RE BAAAAAAACK!" And he had a giant candy cane. How did that even... work. Reine blinked, rubbing her eyes, and all she saw now was this. Ohhhh, right, he was dressed as a candy cane... with a cane! CHRISTMAS PIMP PUPPY! That made a lot more sense than Otto with a huge candy cane, because.. because where would you even get such a huge candy cane?
"You look so cuuuute," she cooed, running over to cuddle him. "Puppy puppyyyyy~~ Behave yourself, okay?" And then she shot a warning look at Jeremy, before shoving Otto at the other guy. "PLAY NICE."
Her eyes met Wilson's again, and Reine blushed a little.
"Are you... um, thinking what I'm thinking?"
That the food looked reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally good. Sneaking over to the table, Reine picked up a delicate-looking cake and crooned "O come all ye faithful" to it. Yes. Come to mommy, all ye faithful cakes.

"Oh! Ah! Candace!! Happy Hannuka! Ahahahaha you... you look lovely!" Jerry tried desperately not to spill his drink, looking a bit mournful as the coaster was put down invitingly. "Can I get you a drink? There's... there's a bar you know! It's got all sorts of-" He cut off as his mouth was occupied by a kiss, his face flushing. Was there mistletoe? Did she just like his tie that much? Maybe it was the antlers. IT WAS DEFINITELY THE ANTLERS he knew they were a good idea and not just to keep his yamaka from popping off.
When they both came up for air, he murmured distantly with a smile on his face, "W-would you like to dance?"
