There was a tug on her dress and down Tahki tumbled back. On her way down she also grabbed on to Astra. "AAAAHHHHH !" Lucky for Lumi and Julian the gryphons cry was so loud she didn't hear anything awkward or uncomfortable.

Not expecting the gnome to be under the table, Astra blinked back at the smaller gnome, then watched it run over to Tahki and tug on her dress. Why was he tugging on her dress? And- "WAAHH!" Astra suddenly cried out as she was pulled to the ground by Tahki, her antennae now sticking out from underneath the gryphon's body, swirling around widly.

Once their ears were in whispering distance, the little gnome straightened his tin-foil hat, glancing around nervously before hissing to both girls, "I'm glad you're staying on your toes. There's something going on, I heard the Student Council has been having.... disagreements. Ever since that tentacled president went," He made a gesture with his fingers to his neck with an accompanying SCHHHHK!
"Something doesn't smell right. Probably right to get rid of the punch, the Student Government probably put something in it." Whether he meant spiked the punch or loaded it with microchips remained to be seen in his wide bloodshot eyes, "I seen things, man. The Government is corrupt, man. Eyes on the dance floor." He seemed calmer than usual.
Maybe it was the therapeutic fire he had just set.
The world seemed clearer when it was dancing in flames.

Tahki lifted a brow. Wait. "Rileys dead?" She looked horrified. Her hands covered her mouth... then she realized maybe she should move off of Astra. Tahki did so. ".... Really truly?" Never mind the flames. This was actually new news to the shut in of a gryphon.

Julian gave Lumi a small frown. No one else might have heard it because of Tahki's yell, but he was close enough and his hearing sharp. He turned around and nodded a bit.
"Of course I still like her, she's my friend," he replied, emphasizing the last word. He didn't want Lumi worrying about things like that. To further his point, he tugged her away from the fire, over towards the photo-booth and then just a bit farther, away from the commotions and the dancefloor and the other students.
When he finally stopped, he turned his back on the crowd of students, tipped Lumi's mask up just a bit and kissed her on the cheek. For all anyone knew, he was just leaning down to speak quietly with her.
"Can we still get that picture?" he asked, trying to turn her thoughts away from being worried about his friends. Jack, first Sin and now Tahki. If Lumi hadn't been worried about him liking her or not, he wasn't sure which of his ghoul friends could finally tip her over the edge.
He quickly decided he was never, ever going to introduce her to Belladonna.

He tapped his nose, eyes narrowing on the griffin, "That's just what they want you to think. I heard boogiemen's got her locked up in secret and are doing horrible experimentation on her but that was from cousin Bill and I don't know how reliable he is but I bet they're putting her brain in a fish."
With a knowing nod, he pointed to both of them, "Stay on your toes,girls, I swear, there's a CONSPIRACY going on." That said, he glanced over his shoulder, paling as he spotted the red-hatted gnome, "Brutis is watching! Gotta' go!"
Holding his tinfoil hat in place, the skinny little gnome suddenly bolted, vanishing among the curtains.

Blinking at him, did she say something. Oh jack she must have said it out loud, wrinkling her nose slightly her ears flat against her head, this was not her night. Maybe she would be able to just lock herself in her room for the rest of the month. She had her own kitchen after all...feeling the sudden tug on her hand she shook her head and looked around. Julian had pulled here away from everything and everyone. Feeling him kiss her cheek set her heart racing again and her face heat up. Hearing his question about the picture she nodded eyes wide, and her tails puffed up somewhat "Picture...right pictures are good!"Okay maybe she had responded a little too enthusiastic but seriously the boil had a way of making her heart race and trying to think of anything other than kissing him back was a little hard. This time she actually watched where she was walking and pulled Julian in to the photo booth line with her.

All Tahki could do was blink as the skinny gnome went off. There was still a great deal of fire. She looked down at Astra and then to the gnome. Fire.... Tahki stood up, spread her wings, and flapped in attempts to put said fire out. The punch was already used after all. She was no water elemental. Wind was her ally for the moment.

Thankful for the ability to breath again, Astra sat up and fixed up her dress, catching the tail end of the gnomes warnings. And the mention of Riley's brain being put into a fish "..w-what?" She numbly said, but the gnome was gone, and that left the fairy feeling a little dazed and very confused. But she saw that tahki was using her wings to put out the fire, so she stood up and turned around, trying to use her tiny fairy wings the same way. ...She wasn't sure if this would work or not.

The flames only grew higher with the influx of oxygen, but thankfully, Christof had managed to locate his trusty fire extinguisher, hobbling in with Igor-utility, a wince, some distance, and a white foamy spray. Crisis averted. Panting through his nose as he tried to survey the damage, he was relieved to see the flames were gone. Unfortunately, both girls were now covered in his froth. Face paling in patches, the hunchback dropped the empty extinguisher and pretended to be very interested in catching the run-away pyromaniac gnome.

Owl sat down and stared at the fire, oblivious to everything else around her. Eventually she realized she needed to get the pizza out, and failed miserably, only managing to burn both of her bear hands, and half of her dress. She needed a new one, pronto.

Yuki just... Wasn't sure what to make of any of this right now. He stared at Astra's horrible state for a long moment, wincing.
He blinked, peering toward Christof with a conflicted expression. "Uh. Thanks... For putting the fire out?"
Or at least he tried, only to realize that the hunchback was retreating.

Within moments, her vision was clouded with a frothy white. Slowly, she wiped the froth off her face so she could see again, green eyes staring out from a mound of white. It was obvious her dress was ruined, and she wasn't sure what to think about this. She did make this face though. O^O

It was very lucky, very lucky indeed that Junko had been too distracted by Lizzy's sudden group dance that she had not noticed the flaming trash can that had threatened to set fire to the refreshment table and probably the rest of prom by consequence. There would have been so much hell to pay. The heads of Brutus and Sticks would have rolled until they dissipated. This was why Junko hated gnomes.She hated them so much. There were so many reasons to hate them. Sure, they were handy when you needed the extra help but they seemed to ruin everything ever. All the Jackdamn time. When the song changed, Junko calmed down with a happy little sigh and draped on her best friend and soulmate a moment, nuzzling her cheek against the pink-haired ghoul's until she was reminded...oops, mask. "That was fun! You're the best, Lizzy~!" A friendly kiss was pressed to Lizzy's cheek before Junko moved off her, grinning ear to ear. That had certainly been exciting! And a good test for her dress, apparently. She'd probably looked very silly bouncing around in this thing. Nope, not going to regret the dress. She loved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. ...Where did Jericho go? Junko blinked, looking all around for the dragon boil. He wouldn't have left...would he have? He wanted to protect the students here, right? He couldn't very well do that if he left. Maybe..maybe he needed to use the restroom? She couldn't very well look for him if he went to the little boil's room. She frowned, biting down nervously on the end of her thumb. Jericho was missing, but Shehk was still here..and Christof had finished any last second touches he'd been doing. And those two ghouls were covered with foa-- Wait, what? She blinked again. Wh...why were...what..? What happened while she was dancing? She suddenly felt like she'd missed something very, very important. Junko excused herself from the group around her to gather the front of her skirt up enough to hurry over to Astra and Tahki, worry clearly written on her face as she looked them over. She sniffed. Was that...she knew that smell. Why did it smell like burning? None of these candles were real flame that shouldn't be possible. "Ah..Astra! Tahki! Are the two of you alright? Why are you..what happened?"((I'm going to be at work soon so I'll be slow to respond, but I'll be checking throughout the day! <33))

Shehk was really all grins at this point, just kind of working around Jericho's awkward 'How does I dance' thing he had going on. "Just loosen up a little bit, it doesn't matter really what you're doing as long as you're doing it, right?"
Shehk was definitely having a lot of fun herself it seemed, though, even if her dress was not at all suited for super-wild dancing. Did she care? NOPE. She would tie up that sucker if she needed to in order to do some mad dancin' later. It was the spirit of things, after all.
But it appeared a small incident called SOMETHING SET ON FIRE had broken out, and Shehk paused, giving a look to Jericho that seemed to inquire if they needed to stop to go do some damage control.
