Welcome to Gaia! ::

Claire bit her lip in happiness at the sight of the glorious food.
"We can share! We'll eat as we go?" she said happily, putting her hand out to offer to carry some of the food.
((sorry for really short post my head is steaming up))

It had taken Sparrow quite some time to get ready. After all, he had a date to impress, and it was important to look as nice as possible. Which is why, earlier when he had stood in front of Aislin's dorm room, he had been slightly nervous. He had smoothed down the front of his pastel blue vest so many times that he was afraid that it would eventually wear through. After that, he had settled for merely clasping his hands behind his back, adopting a calm and collected expression.

Aislin, of course, looked both stunning and confident in her dress. Sparrow had been a tad stupefied for a few seconds after picking her up, blinking at the rather risque outfit with the faintest hint of a blush on his cheeks. But after he managed to pull himself together he had tied the corsage neatly around her wrist, offered her his arm, and away they went.

When they got to the prom, it was already starting to be crowded. The music was pounding, students milling about, their voices mingling with one another's. There were a few people that Sparrow recognized, but not many. Jove was one of them, looking quite impressive in a black, Victorian outfit not unlike the clothing Sparrow usually wore. He didn't recognize the gryphon he was talking to, or the others - except for LW, who looked beautiful. Riley and her date were there as well, but other than them, he was reminded quite a bit of just how new he was to the school still.

He turned to Aislin, quirking a brow as a smile played on his lips. "Shall we go?" he asked her, gesturing with his free hand.

Mac was more than content to sit and wait for Tess on his own. There was no need to go elsewhere or get pulled along by anyone else, so when he was faced with the nameless creature who insisted on giving him a nickname he didn't quite appreciate at all.

"I don't even know what---" The moment she touched him, every fibre of his body went on alert and he stiffened, lips curling in a sneer. "Don't touch me." He growled, swatting her hands away from his shoulders. Once that was done, he realized what she had said. Lizzy. She wanted him to go sit with Lizzy and the group. Uhh yeah no.

"I'd love to, but---" He stopped, too late finding himself at the table. More importantly, he saw the one person who he didn't want to see at all. Lizzy.

"Hi." He said shortly, instead looking at everyone else in turn.

Just as soon as Mitsu thought the panic would overwhelm her she felt a hand on her shoulder. For a moment that simple touch brought her heart rate back down as she looked back to see Shun trying to....was he comforting her? If anything it worked, the lupine didn't look like she was ready to jump out of her skin and make a run for it.

Taking another deep breath Mitsu tried to focus in on the many conversations about her gaze first settling back on Levi a small nod on her face and that pale semi-smile that seemed to be all Mitsu could muster. Why was smiling so difficult? "It's g-good to meet you as well."

Turning to Xui Mitsu gave a nod, "L-Lizzy picked out the mask." The wolf girl said softly, barely audible over the music. "I...I like it..it's just...." To revealing of her face....but she couldn't bring herself to finish her sentence. Instead her fingers fidgeted lightly with the material of her dress trying her best not to cover her face.

After spending the afternoon with the rest of the Prom Committee working on setting up the dance (mostly she just saw to where the ScreeJay booth was set up and that everything was plugged in). After a few tests to make sure all equipment was functional she'd set the music to playing and had left the rest to Nuk so she could go get ready for her date. After the afternoon they'd spent conversing she had become confident that maybe Riley really DID know what she was doing when she'd paired her with a Reaper.

Because Sparrow wasn't just a Reaper. When he'd arrived at her door she'd shooed Ellios away and answered it, pleased with the flushed stare that she met with. In fact, the Reaper received a bit of a startled stare himself - dressed to match her, he was such a gentleman! There was no which way she could deny that the color looked very good on him as well. The pale turquoise that was her favorite color complimented his eyes. She'd taken his arm and left with him towards the dance hall.

And when they arrived the music had still be playing, good. She brushed the concern of music out of her mind and focused instead with enjoying herself before she had to go to her duties. Linked arm in arm she glided into the room with a smile and nod towards his invitation to go further. Within she immediately spotted Riley and some others who's name she really couldn't remember from the Committee meeting. There was also the fluffy little wisp of a boil she'd met briefly. Ah, and there was her help, Cady.

"I know a few of the others... but not as many." She murmured lightly to her date as they walked. "Do you know anyone?" They were headed towards the little crowd that had begun to gather so either they'd get noticed or not.

Blinking, she stared at the boil. "Okay, you'll have to fill me in on THAT story later, for sure." Note to self: keep away from Cricket's insect friends. Not that she had an appetite for any bugs, or anything else food related. "On the bright side---no pun intended---it doesn't look bad, in fact, I think it looks pretty cool." She admitted, still fascinated by the glow emitting from his markings. She felt like a moth drawn to a flame. Her gaze shifted when the tiny ghoul squealed loudly, soon realizing why. Her date? Maybe? They looked adorable!

Returning her gaze to Bul, she raised a brow, waiting for him to finish that sentence. "As a what?" Completely oblivious, she looked back and forth between him and the two, now curious as to what he meant.

"As another stuffie," Bul winked. If Jove sat perfectly still and didn't blink he could easily be one. "But I'm kidding of course," he said wrapping arms around her in a big bear hug.

The half beast took his ravishing partner by the hand and nodded his direction towards the crowd. "Come on let's go dance a little it'll be like Scarentine's again!"

Mitsu looked around as the music began to soften and the lights began to dim. It wasn't until she looked down again that she realized...she was glowing. All of her. "Eeep." The sound was small but still audible now that the music was softer, she stood out like a sore thumb under the light. Not only was her clothing white but her hair as well....

Suddenly she felt like she needed to hide, the hand on her shoulder not really keeping her calm now. Slowly her hands came up, covering the exposed part of her face, her eyes looking a little frantic. What should she do?
