" Sounds good! Actually, you can hold some dancing lessons for me, I would be happy to attend", replied Eisheth. That was intriguing. The prom appeared to be living its own life: students were dancing, gnomes were setting fire in a corner, and a patchwork-looking guy extinguished it covering the nearby ghouls with white foam. Everything was going well... Eisheth noticed Mei was waving her hand to some of her friends; as much as she enjoyed the ghoul's private company, she wouldn't like to own her for herself only for the whole night. " Let's go and have some chat?", she suggested. " I'd be good, just introduce me", the alchemist smiled. She grabbed Mei's hand, and dragged her towards two boils standing near the table, one of them was.. mmm... undead?.. while another was even more interesting, there was something insect-ish in his appearance. While they passing the dance floor, Eisheth stumbled across an interesting company: her cousin Kiwi, Faiyum, a cute tiger-looking student ghoul, and a mysterious lady: she was looking familiar, yet Eisheth couldn't recognize where and when did they meet.. according to the ghoul's dress, the alchemist was quite certain she is a Death priestess, but were all the priestesses actually winged? She never paid attention to that fact. She gently nodded her head to Faiyum and others, throwing a curious glance at the supposed-to-be-priestess, and finally turned to her cousin. " Kiwi! Glad you're having a good time", she sent him a warm smile. " This beautiful lady is Meixiang, she's a Jiangshi student, any my wonderful date for tonight". " Mei, this is Kiwi, my darling cousin, and this is Faiyum, a noble alchemist, and... I'm sorry, I don't know the rest".

As the music faded and changed the boil slowed to a stop with the rest of the members of their impromptu dance group. No doubt they'd all managed to make enormous fools of themselves, but they'd had an absolute blast doing it. In fact, any second thoughts the ghost had been having about his costume had been swept away when he'd started bouncing along with Junko around Lizzy as she rallied as many people to join in as she could. Holding his hands up to mimic a camera, he grinned and Junko and made a click sound as his finger pressed down on an invisible button. Converting the moment forever into a mental picture. And then the moment was over, and Junko was moving across the floor towards Astra and Tahki, both of which seemed to be covered in white foam. "What the-?" He sniffed, frowning. "Is that burnt Pizza?" Dragain ilu hard, that was amazing.

As soon as the "on top of the world" song had started, Roch had slipped off the dance floor, tugging at his trench coat to get it off. Two sets of sleeves was too many, he thought as he looked at the sleeves of his white shirt. He could barely tolerate one. He tossed the coat into a corner, figuring he'd either get it back later or someone would steal it (it was his dad's, the old jacker could replace it if he wanted to--jackin thing smelled like smoke.) And then he headed for the food table--ignoring the fire episode entirely while making himself a plate. (Whut? A guy has a fire demon for a best friend and an Ifrit for a mentor, do you really think he's gonna jump over something like that?) But really, he was just hoping the whole ridiculous shout for Amphi to come dance with him had been forgotten with all the drama. And idly wondering what had happened to his date.

Junko blinked. "Burnt pizza...?" She frowned, looking over the table. None of the food was burned...strange. "But I would never let...how..?" Junko looked to Seiji and then Astra and Tahki. All of the food had been prepared for the students! They didn't need to cook any of it! What was even... "...The gnomes." Junko's eyes narrowed, pouting with puffed cheeks and all. Jack, she hated gnomes. She soon sighed, a sad look being given to Astra and Tahki's ruined dresses. She didn't have anything on hand for them, and she wasn't the same size as either of them nor did she have wings.. "Um...is there anything I can do to help with your dresses?"

Well, he'd bought it. Really, Riyo shouldn't have been surprised. She was a good liar, and moreover, it wasn't like her to do something simply because she thought it might impress someone else.
That's right. Wasn't that why she did it? She could tell herself reasons till the cats came home just why she dressed up and how it mildly involved Titus, but even the cat ghoul wanted to be seen as something other than a boil. Even for just one night out of the year.
It was a shameful realization on her part. How she was stepping so far out of character for the sake of an alien thing called attention. Then trying to get it from someone who probably had no idea what she wanted, even with her hands outstretched begging at his feet.
Such was the point of a challenge though, was it not?
What was that about pockets? Oh, yes. Pockets. The ghoul had zoned out for a moment. "Better than letting my hands droop to my sides with nothing to do. Then I just look stupid." Riyo had been having trouble figuring out what to do with her hands the whole time they were standing, at first trying to fiddle with the little bag that held her skelephone, then folding them in front of her chest.
But why did the date comment make him frown? Riyo found it interesting that he'd thought about asking someone. Who? Who besides herself managed to mildly tolerate the boil? Moreover, who managed to mildly tolerate him when he was being a p***y like he had been lately? Should she ask? Should she let it go? "Well, are they here? You could always go hang out with them."

"Being lost would constitute that I did not know where I was prior. Clearly I am on a dance floor." She stated, her as-a-matter-of-factly personality seeping through, but she was subconsciously leaning in to the hand on her face, a soft smile gracing, and breaking the exasperation in her voice. His amusement was contagious, and she couldn't help but allow a small laugh break through, a smile remaining afterwards.
"But - yes, you are correct. I am currently without a partner, as mine . . . um -" She trailed, looking around. "Disappeared. She made a bit of a put off face, before releasing it, turning back to her best friend. "I am glad that you came. It is nice to see you outside of the clans-grounds, and enjoying yourself. A little foreign, clothing wise." She quipped, softly as she looked him over. He was . . . thinner looking without all the silk and fabric that he usually wore. Less domineering, more personable, as if he was almost on a simular level than others. It was kind of nice. Foreign, but nice.
"Ah -- Seeing as we are both currently partnerless, would you possibly be willing to be my escort?" She requested, knowing full well that he would have a hard time saying no to such a sincere request.
It would be nice to just enjoy this event, without anything looming over them, for once. A respite, she supposed.---- ---- ---- ---- ----
With Charlie basically jumping back in the fray, the cat-king was alone again, eyebrows raised at the sudden and unforeseen chaos that enveloped around his little broseph and the . . . miss who had suddenly side-tracked him. He would be fine for now.
Seeking out the Gryphon who had helped Charlie, he lifted his skirts a little in his hand again, shuffling over to Tahki and her little group, tail swaying behind him as he was accosted by the smell of burnt dough and cheese. Of course, it had to be pizza - they were talking about Charlie, here.
Clearing his throat, he attempted to sidle in to the conversation, temporarily. He gave a soft smile to Junko, whom he had met on the Conquest Island - her and her plethora of hair, before curtsey-ing.
"Everything needs a little chaos, here and there." He offered, before looking down to Tahki, "Is there any way I can assist?"

Amrita hadn't seen Christof staring at her; at the time he being too creepy to come and actually talk to her, she was dancing with her friends (and a bunch of strangers, too). She had been torn between laughing at how ridiculous it was, and whimpering of complete embarrassment; she settled for just having fun.
She had seen the flames, and almost immediately latched onto Remi in pure terror, knowing very well that in busy places like this it could easily get out of hand. Impending doom made her almost want to demand they leave Prom, now, but thankfully Christof took care of the problem before she could even sprout her demands. Then she merely became torn between Oh yay, there's Christof! and Oh Jack, there's Christof with a FIRE EXTINGUISHER. The latter was a very bad thing. It implied terrible things. Like fire.
"Remi! I found Chris! I'm going to go say hi to him, but ah..." she released the death grip she had on his arm and instead slipped her arms around him in a hug. "Thanks for the dance! Save another one for me later, okay?" They had gotten distracted, after all! Besides, they still had to settle who won that fight! Clearly, it was her. Clearly. Ahem.
With one last squeeze she let him go and wandered off again, this time going to follow after her date, who seemed to be leaving again. Aaaaa, no! But on her way after him, she stopped in her tracks, spotting Junko and then a few familiar - and froth covered - pair of classmates. One of which was her friend. Yet again someone beat her to it, and not wanting to crowd the Gryphon (whom she remembered to be as skittish as she was!), she merely waved her arms over her head.
"Come find me later, kay?!" She urged to Tahki, smiling at her first friend. Astra, Junko, Jack and Seiji were also given a wave and a bright smile. "And thanks for filling out yearbook, guys! I promise we'll do a great job! Buuut...I gotta go find my date, so, um, talk to you later?" She sounded hopeful as she backed away, eager to get on the fleeing Igor's heels.
Once she felt it was safe enough, she turned and disappeared into the crowd, trying to make Christof proud in her stalking abilities.
Her rather loud stalking abilities.

Needle had been having too much fun to pay attention to where she was going, nor recognize that there were still a plethora of people around her. The dancing had been so invigorating and almost exhausting, so when she finally dropped her arms they ended up moving in a careless swing.
She felt the pressure of her arm spikes hitting something - and instantly froze. There was no way for her to judge how hard she had hit or how deeply the pointed spikes embedded into whatever it was, and so on instinct she pulled her arm away from whatever it was, freeing her spikes and relieving the pressure on her end.
Much more careful now, the Engraver turned, spotting something that looked very...student-like. Oh. Oh jack!
"I am...I am so sorry! Are you all right?" She had hit someone. Aaaa~
iloveyouDIE Just lettin chu know what Needle's up to!

Amphi grinned as the song ended for her and Thana before nodding. "Thank you for the wonderful dance Thana." The mermaid exclaimed, squeezing his hand.
It wasn't long though till someone...A certain robust fire demon was calling her name, causing the mermaid to look over her shoulder to spot her. Oh! There was Danny! Oh..And Roch too? She flushed as she looked at the reaper boil before debating on whether or not to leave.
She didn't want to upset Thana but she had asked Roch for one dance.
"Ah...Excuse me Thana." She took his hand and gave it a squeeze again. "I promised a dance with my friend...If you don't mind." She said, then awkwardly boogied her way over to the fire demon and Roch. If he wanted to stop her he'dhave to awkward boogie his way to her!!!
"Hello you two!" She greeted the reaper and ghoul, "You both look quite fantastic." Well duh Amphi, Danny looks like you except FIYAAAAAAAAAH. "Roch...did you want to dance?" She flushed at him shyly.
Dragain I'm so sorry guys!! I got caught up in work and been sick QQ Here's a crappy post to do whatever with

The ghoul took in a breath and held it suddenly. Soemthing had prodded her and Levi felt it wasn't so much of a bump this time as a... jab of something. Oh Jack! Surprisingly, the tatzel ghoul's first concern was not that she might have been possibly bleeding out the open parts of her dress but that her dress might possibly be ruined in some way. hiss~ ssS'alright! Ya'll 'right thar, miss- ... oh aye! Levi grinned widely at seeing it was Lattice. Having spikes running down your arms in this sort of setting- Levi could see how such mishaps were likely to occur. She hadn't known that the engraver she met had a twin and this was, indeed, not Lattice. No harm done, screecheart! Er- but... I think I'll be headin' on over ta'tha' bathroom just ta'be certain, aye boils? Best to hurry in case the dress was going to fall off or something... Levi searched West's expression for anything that might note this. He'd bought the dress for her as a replacement for the one he cut up vengefully from the first prom. Levi didn't want this one to be tattered. Not this one. Settling a hand on Jove's shoulder, Levi apologized. We'll have ta'do this in'a bit, but yer on ma'hitlist, Jove. Watchin' ya. Winking again, she then turned, lightly brushing her tail against West's leg as she carefully weeded through the crowd towards the bathroom. The smallest of chances she got at flickering at him, Levi would take. The tatzel had no way of explaining it. Walking about, peering for that door, Levi held onto her side, her hand colored by just a few droplets of what might have been blood. Enoh Love owob ty for poke! please come again~ Smerdle she touched you again >> whatcha gonna do 'bout it Grey Dragon bloody emergency a wild levi has fled D:

The boil felt a satisfied smile appear on his lips as the other ghoul left to find her date. Her date had showed after all, that made the kitsune more pleased than it should. Was he protective of his friend? Yes, yes he was. With a final wave he called over the music back at her. "You better believe it!" Remi was into the music enough to ignore the fact that something was on fire in the background. How was that possible? Probably because he was a fire wielder as well, so it was easier to ignore. Plus he just wanted to DANCE dude. Well, now that his dance partner was gone... he needed another. Moving his hips around to the music he leered through the crowd, eyes finally settling on a ghoul. There were many potential dance partners in the crowd, but he singled one out in particular. Tossing up a handful of glitter, he pulled one of these: And arrived in front of Siobhan. "Want to dance, luv?" Yup, pet names. Everyone had one. He was certain he looked ridiculous in the dress, not really caring.

Suddenly glitter. Siobhan looked up at the sparkles source, finding a kitsune sashaying up to her. The banshee stared up in awe, then down in puzzlement. Was this boil wearing a dress? She lifted her head up once more and sported a wide smile. "But of course!" She held out a hand, ready to be swept off her feet. "You look very p r e t t y ! My name is Siobhan. What is yours, dress loving boil?"

Despite still not knowing if Merope was a boil or ghoul, Lizzy thought that the undead did good, for someone who was trying to hide in the shadows during the party; hopefully, this little group dance would help him - her? - open up a little, since a party was always more enjoyable with a friend or two. Or three. Or too many to count.
"Go make a new friend or two," She urged, as the happy music died down, and people around had stopped the crazy 'throw hands up in the air' dance routine. Grinning, she then offered Merope a hug, even if her puffy dress made it difficult for her to do so; it was like hugging someone with a chair between them, "Thanks for the dance~ I'll see you later, alright?"
When Junko attacked her, nuzzling her on the cheek, Lizzy laughed, throwing her arms around the ghoul as she nuzzled her back; seeing how their dresses were equally puffy, it was almost like seeing two t-rexes trying to embrace, "No you are the best! You did so well with planning this party!" She was so, so proud, the kiss to her cheek making her blush - even if it wasn't very obvious - as she waved goodbye to the ghoul.
Towards Seiji, she grinned, mouthing a 'Take care of her!' at him before moving away, darting into the crowd in a bid to find her own boil. However, she stopped by Xiu, giving her a poke on her arm, and a quick hug, while wriggling her eyebrows at Vaith... Just in case there really was something-something going on. She didn't recognize the students that Xiu was with, and the masks they were wearing didn't help... Lowering her voice to a whisper, she beamed at the Baku, "Thanks for pulling people in! I was afraid that people would find it too embarrassing to join in."
They looked like they had fun though, which made her happy; she knew that the 'happy song' was going to be good for something, someday!
"Catch up with you later," She gave Xiu a squeeze, and then continued on her search for Mac - only to spot a cat eared, white haired ghoul heading off towards the direction of the bathrooms... And she only knew of one ghoul who would fit this description - Levi. Spotting Mac, she trotted towards him, accidentally tackling him in a hug due to the weight of her gown. Taking both his hands, she smiled, placing the back of one of his hands against her cheek, enjoying the warmth, "Reserve your last dance of the night for me, alright? I think Levi's in trouble... I should check on her. Just in case."Marushii AHHH, thanks for letting me pull Merope in <3 Kaiyumi WHENEVER YOU WANT TO DO THAT THING, I'M HERE. Random Artist She's watching you and your sassy outfit, Vaith.

Tahki was covered in white foam. She stood like a marshmellow. A stiff marshmellow. There wasn't much to say really or do except stand there with her arms out awkwardly. Awkward was something Tahki was used to. Very used to. Junko asked if she could do something with her dress. The gryphon shook her head no to the ghoul. " Its a lost cause." Which was true. A smile was still earned. The feline that had been with Charlie earlier asked if he could assist. She gave Jack a pleading look before quietly requesting a towel. Her outfit for the evening was completely punch stained and now sticky with white cream. The good news was that Tahki didn't seem to mind that as much as she probably should. Amrita came up and asked her to find her later. She caught that bit at the very least. Tahki stood there. Arms out. She did not want to move. ------------------------------------------------------ childs menu Owl can follow after O u O ? If you like or cause more mayhem idk Charlie managed to stop running and screaming for a few moments to watch the mayhem. He wandered away from Owl for a moment to join Jacks side. Bells jingling all the way. Lifen had done a good job to attach bells to Charlies outfit. "Tahki why are you a tasty marshmellow?" ((Note: Going to be the last post til tonight. I don't mind if some one wants to drag a character along or something. I have a ton of school work to finish.))

West turned sharply at Levi's hiss, narrowing his eyes at the ghoul who had apparently caused it. "Watch where yer—" he began, quieting down when it seemed the tatzel was mostly okay. Not being as observant as his ghoulfriend in that moment, the boil continued muttering about clumsy spiky dumbasses who poked and sat on things they shouldn't while Levi reassured the engraver. When she turned to him, he nodded slightly, his eyes still on Needle. "Yeah. Take care o'that. I'll be gettin' some punch." He paused as her tail swept across his leg, but his only response was to loosen his arms from where they hugged his chest. He might have been getting better at this whole non-reaction thing, or maybe that was just the anger helping.
