He tried hard not to visibly shudder at the thought. Would that mean he'd have to dance with her or something? Wait.. what DID tombcoming royalty involve anyway?
He looked up at Dashner, then back at his phone, then handed the thing to Dash to scroll through himself.
"Looks like a fairly decent list of names."

"Wh-at?!" Rory's voice cracked as he looked away from Nero's hypnotic parade of ghoulpics to reply to Kai. "No, that's probably a mistake. I nominated Dash, I didn't get nominated. I'm pretty sure that being Tombcoming Scream King is dangerous."

"No no, says right here... Rorrim Bludworth.. Nominated by... " He scrolled down the list. "ahh. Shadeaux D Gloom, apparently."
He frowned, was Shad even here? The guy just sorta blended in with the background, not to mention the fact he seemed perpetually terrified by everything around him. More so than Rorrim even.
"You think everything is dangerous Rorrim. Except creepovers evidently."

"Aw, thanks bro! You didn't have-"
Dashner froze. He realized that almost all of his boo beasties were running... That means he'd have to run agaisnt his friends?! That seemed pretty ironic... Because that means he'd have to say bad stuff about them publicly, right? He didn't really understand everything.
"I, er, don't think I can run..." he said, giving the iCoffin back to Ronan.

He tucked his phone away before asking.
"So... what IS involved in this whole... royalty thing?"
He was so utterly lost as to what it all meant. Dashner's reaction just confused him more.

"It's real simple, Cap." JD leaned an arm on Ronan's shoulder. "If you get voted Tombcoming King, you'll be the Big Manster on Campus! The most popular boo in school! Every ghoul will want to be your ghoulfriend. Doesn't that sound bro-dacious, bro?"
He took a big bite of his screechza and washed it down with a big swig of Red Ghoul, letting out a belch.
"Anyway, Dashner nominated me, and I'm looking forward to wearing that crown... I got myself a ghoul, but like, the idea of every ghoul in school falling at my hooves, man... That's SO rad."

Rory looked at the list further....Marceline had been nominated! That meant..."Oh...my...ghoul...." It hit Rory like a bolt from the blue. There was a chance that Marceline could be Scream Queen - well, that was more like a 100% lock, of course, because she was so super-awesome-cool, but there was also a teeny tiny, itt-bitty chance that Rory could be Scream King. And that would mean..."Marceline and I....could be Scream Queen and King of Monster High...." Rory's Wild Imagination "And the new Scream Queen and Scream King of Monster High are..." Cleo De Nile opened the envelope, standing on the glitter-encrusted stage as every student had eyes on her... "MARCELINE LAGHEDE AND RORY BLUDWORTH!" Everyone clapped. Marceline, looking so stunningly gorgeous and sparkly that looking at her blinded everyone, gave Rory a hug. The two of them were led out onto the dance floor, and Holt Hyde tuned up the victory dance!"Marceline...." Rory said, his voice not cracking even a little bit. "You are the greatest ghoul in all of hiss-tory..." Marceline drew him in close....their lips were inches apart...the music swelled to near deafening proportions....
....Then Rory tripped on Marceline's hemline, spun out and smashed into the floor, tinkling into a million billion pieces-

What was WITH these monsters and unwarranted physical contact? He stared uncertainly at JD and edged away from him.
"Bro.. dacious?" Was that even a word? Or had the boos of Monster High decided to invent their own ridiculous language?
He shook his head. "That.. sounds awkward. You'd trip over them."
He looked up at Rory. "Are you alright? You seem... pale?" Was that even possible for a reflective surface?

With all the excitement about the Tombcoming nominations, the boo's didn't hear the front door open and shut again. They continued to chatter in their small groups, fantisizing about their Tombcoming hopes and dreams.
"Nobody nominated my date to the dance, so I guess that, that wouldn't happen," Dashner said in responce to Rorrim's comment. "She probably didn't get nominated because the whole school knows she'd win." He laughed a little at his small joke.
He cleared his throat, and looked imbetween JD's horns to see... Roswell Grey! Apparently, Roswell had been standing there for a while now. Not knowing what to do at creepover's, he was just standing there. Dashner pushed himself out of the small huddle and over to his beastest bro in the universe.
"Roswell, bro!" They hexchanged fist bumps. "You made it!"

"Greeting and salutations bros!" Roswell greeted everyone at the creepover with a fist bump weather they wanted one or not. This was a customary greeting to all bros on Earth. At least that's what Dashner taught him. Dash was greeted with a swift bro-hug and pat on the back.
Now it was time to thank the hosts of the evening for their hospitality "Thanks Glen and Kai for the invitation it was kind of---" He words were cut off by the glorious smell of screacha at the table.
"Is that schreecha? And so many varieties!" He made his way over to the table taking a biiig sniff of all the food. It was great!
"In return for you're clawsomeness, I have brought with me a surplus of golden sponge cakes with vanilla cream filling that has a shelf-life of 25 day or more!" There was at least 10 boxes of cream cakes for each boo in the party! Roswell speared no expense... mostly because he didn't know how to manage earth money yet and had no concept of currency.
"Don't worry Rorrim, they are not dangerous. They are delicious!" He said to his friend while shoving a cake or two in his mouth.

Having heard his name mentioned, Shad shuffled sheepishly around some of the bigger boos in the group and in doing so, managed to find an open spot at the screechza table.
Sweetness!
Shad waved idly at Rory, the mirror witch having been told who it was that nominated him. It was the least Shad felt he could do in order to bury the proverbial hatchet after the rocky start the two boos had upon first meeting.
Grabbing three slices of BooBQ screechza and making a 'sammich' out of them, Shad opened his mouth wide when something across the table and in the other room caught his attention.
He slowly lowered the screechza sammich and inched closer to where Kai stood toward his right."Um... Kai? Is... is that game system you were playing earlier the new Hex Box 666?""Where!?" Lin screeched and he jumped up, placing his hands on Shad's shoulders and inadvertently shoved Shad down and face-first into his own pizza while Lin looked wild eyed for said Hex Box.

"Hex box?" He looked suddenly much more enthusiastic. "You've got Maul of Duty?" He noted the case on the floor. How far you got?"
He was suddenly animated, his mood lifted by the prospect that this evening might not be a total loss after all.

"Sure!" Kai replied, leading everyone to the living room where the TV and Hexbox were set up next to a grand piano. "Nero and I just finished our game, so you guys can hop on."

"Oh BOO!"
Lin cried gleefully as he made a mad dash forward, just narrowly beating Ronan in reaching the Hex Box first and grabbing at one of the two controllers. Lin's red eyes glistened with excitement as Kai pressed the power button and the gaming system came to unlife!
This was probably the one (and only) but of 'mainstream' that Gryff would forgive when it came to 'HIS' gremlin. Gryff knew and understood that Lin absolutely adored `lectrics, even if `lectrics didn't always adore Lin. There wasn't a modern `lectrical device that Lin wasn't fascinated by, video games chief amongst them. Lin could spend all day browsing through the aisles of Beast Boo, if the ghostly clerks would only let him.
Gryff also understood that while most gremlins delighted in destruction of modern appliances and gadgets, 'his' gremlin was by no means 'most' gremlins. Lin enjoyed building and experimenting on gadgety doohickys more so than trying to destroy them.
Of course, often times a gremlin's nature was hard to overcome.
Maul of Duty had just started to play the video beginning presentation, when it flickered and sputtered. A spark shot out of the controller Lin was holding and it traveled up the cord and to the Hex Box itself.
A brief rattling and wheezing noise followed and a shower of sparks flew from the back of the gaming system, and the lights on the chandelir above 'popped' and went out. Lin and the other boos looked up and their eyes seemingly followed the sound of random 'pops' happening all over Merha Manor and light after light, and electrical device after electrical device flickered out.
The last thing left being the TV in front of them until it too sputtered and finally winked out, leaving the entire house in complete darkness.
"sorry"

"AAAH!" Rory nearly jumped as the entire Merha Mansion was plunged into darkness. "Nobody move! It's dangerous to walk around in the dark!"
There were so many hazards that could occur walking around where you couldn't see. What if there were errant shoes on the floor? Or pizza boxes strewn about? How far away was the swimming pool?!
Rory regretted coming to this creepover. Was it going to be the last thing he ever saw?!!!
"I never got to tell Marceline that I lllll......like her! Really, REALLY like her!"
