Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ella hadn't expected to meet Quilo as fast as she did, and almost immediately she wanted to run when she turned around. He was right there, close enough to touch, and suddenly her heart fluttered. Oh no, he could see the dress up close! He could judge her in it, too. This was wrong, wasn't it? She never wore anything but shorts and a generic shirt! Oh Nine, where was her mom? Was Lyra watching over the dance.... or no? Oh Nine. Oh Nine. Oh Nine.

However, it seemed that squeaked snapped her from her panic. The hybrid tilted her head, unable to help a slight smile. The compliment halted the smile and, for a second, she simply just stared, probably furthering his worries. Eventually, a blush arose, and Ella looked away, tail betraying her as it wagged gently.

"Really? O-oh, thank you. Mom helped me pick it out the other day." She murmured, hiding her smile as she kept her head tilted to the side. Finally, she summoned the courage, Quilo's compliment surging through her as she turned to look at him, eyes widening in surprise. "Worried? Really? Oh, I'm sorry! I should have texted you, but, I lost my phone. I'm sorry." Her eyes were drawn as someone ran up, an eyebrow raising before a slight laugh escaped her. Aha! They both had plushies now, how cute. It reminded her of when they were little kids, running about with their plushies and not caring who looked. Being a child had been much easier, back in the day.

'There's games, and there's also dancing....'

Her cheeks heated up. Dancing? With Quilo? O-Oh! Suddenly, she was painfully aware of her body. Could she dance? Did she look right dancing? Without thinking and most likely fueled by her panic, the hybrid turned to glance about, taking Quilo's hand (bold, for once!) and gently tugging.

"Why not try the games? I heard rumors there were excellent prizes this go about." Nailed it. That wasn't obvious at all.

(( Not taking a trinket this time. ))

eeey

Ustule started and looked down at the person addressing her. A small smile came across her face. Ah, Perigor! "No, I heven't seen the others. I don't know if Prometheus will be coming--somehow, I don't think this affair would be his sort of thing." She looked over at him. "I don't know how long I will be staying, but if you will be staying a while, then I will es will." The beanbag thing was done, it was time to find something else they could do together. She looked around. "How do you feel ehbout thet duck racing game?" She wasn't sure how she herself felt about it, but it looked like it could be fun, and she was willing to try. There was plenty of purple prizes to keep her happy, if nothing else.

Perigor shrugged. "I know Teo isn't coming. I called him this morning, and he gave me this epic tale of hairspray and makeup. I'm not sure what was going on, but he sounded frigging stressed out. He's got an older sister, probably she's become Prom-zilla. Either way, I don't think he's coming." He looked over in the direction she had indicated and nodded. "That game looks pretty freakin' sweet. I agree, let's go over there and check it out."

Together they walked over to the bucket of water where rubber ducks floated, and each of them picked two ducks from the water.

Neither of Ustule's ducks matched, but Peri's did. He grinned, thanked the vendor, and was rewarded with a cup of punch. He sipped it and looked over the stand. "Wanna try again, Ustule?"

The bakeneko was starting to get more and more distressed at the disappearance of her twin. "J-Jun?" Xui whimpered softly, looking around. Where was he? Shuffling around quietly, she felt something prod against her back. It was probably Jun trying to play a trick on her or something. I'll show him! Spinning around, she was ready to grab his wrist and yell 'aha!' but instead, saw a skyfish. It tilted its head at her, equally confused as she was. "O-oh, hey there buddy.." she said softly, extending out a hand for it to rest on. It easily obliged and she smiled.


Jun was off doing his own thing - mostly observing all the attendees as he snacked on his candyfloss. He should probably save some of it, so that he could give some to Xui but...eeeh. Maybe not. She could get her own.

Taking another sip of the liquid he did have to admit that the drinks weren’t terribly bad of course the second he had it almost to his lips. He noticed the cup had a passenger. He had never done well with fluffbugs, they tended to look at him and then fly away in what he assumed was terror or something. So it made no sense that the fluffbug stared at him wiggled its antennae and then flopped over to take a spot on his shoulder. Maybe the fluffbug was defective? Mmm why did he have a feeling he had another familiar.

To make matters even more strange his self-imposed isolation was suddenly intruded on. A rather chipper sounding geist was suddenly talking to him of all people. She couldn’t seriously be that bored could she. Normally people took one look at his face decided he was probably your stereotypical elf and moved along, not that Horus had any problem with this after all he really wasn’t kidding at being anti-social. However…. She was the first one that had bothered talking to him all night. He wasn’t actually considering this was he….yes, yes he was.

“yeah… Figured I should visit a couple of Below’s festivals while I’m living down here” He stated changing his tone to be a bit more friendly.

Iah leaned back against the wall. He supposed after the stress of school it would be nice to relax and go to a part or spring prom. However he did have to admit it was a bit strange that he was here hanging out with his twin sister than finding some way to invite his girlfriend. Ah but then he was having trouble figuring out how to talk to Amy lately. It wasn’t as if they were fighting. It was more Iah wasn’t sure how to tell her something and until he came to a decision he supposed he was hiding away to keep from lying or other things. It also helped that he had to dive into homework, finals and all that fun time stealing things. He did grab a bag of candy to munch on while he waited for Zillah to show up. Maybe he could grab a locket or a ring or flowers to give to amy later.


Muninn wasn’t sure about the whole dance. He had just started trying to speak with a more normal tone and he was trying not hide away his mutations but he was still hesitant around huge crowds. He personally would be perfectly fine skipping this event. However Mani had suggested they crash the party or whatever and Muninn had somehow found himself saying yes. So here he was wandering around the festival and waiting for his younger brother. Luckily no one had come up to talk with him lately so he was able to concentrate more on actually seeing the event. Yeah he probably should have brought his contacts but…

Suddenly there was nibbling on his shoe and he looked down to see a cockatriel sitting there nomming away. When had it? Well Munnin supposed it was still light enough outside (although this wasn’t saying much considering it was below) that his vision was still awful. “Hey there little guy.”


Leto wasn’t sure why he was here. Spring prom was more for couples which considering he didn’t have a significant other meant he should have been happily playing with his familiars or reading books in his dorm room unfortunately there was a knock on the door and leto made the mistake of opening said door. His sister on the other hand apparently just had to go and dragged him along. If she ditched him again like the winter solstice Leto was going to… well he would think of his devious play back later. He just hoped this time there was no plushie catapulting contraption that decided they were going to pelt him.
“Okay yomi we’re here. Now what?”

T’kani had since finished her prep and gotten distracted by tidying up her desk, as if hiding the clutter that had grown this time would erase any other time he had seen her sprawling messes. Her ears perked up at each little sound, going between nervous and excited to see him. They were dating, sure, but what if only felt obligated to be with her instead of wanting to be? He was nice of course, but he hadn’t really told her if he felt anything for her yet…

A knock at the door shook her from the downward spiral, his soft voice bringing a smile to her face. She turned on the flat dancing shoes she’d picked out; the dress floating right at the floor level meant that heels would be unseen and extra trouble. They were platforms to give her a bit of height, but she did like having him taller than she was.

She opened the door and stepped back, giving him as quick a look-over as she could while still taking in all the details. He looked amazing in that suit, and the flowers and plush? Were those for her? Blushing behind a shy smile, she signed a quick greeting to him, showing off the nails she’d painted to match his hair highlights.
“I’m ready to go if you are. You look great, Noelan. I might have to find more reasons to get you dressed up like this…”

Rolling for Noelan!

Freddy grinned, stoked that Nef liked the necklace. He took a moment to look her over while she put it on. Something about her was different, though he couldn't really pinpoint just what it was. He puzzled over it. It was Nef, acting the same as she always did. He pulled a bit of the candy floss from the stick and nibbled on it, having taken charge of the snack while Nef put the necklace on. When she started jumping in excitement the fluttering of her dress felt like a switch went off in his brain.

That's what was different! He didn't think he'd seen Nef in even a skirt since they were freshlings. He didn't think he'd ever seen her hair done up all pretty. For once he was actually afraid to tug on it, as was his usual custom for showing affection.

He quickly tried to dismiss it in his mind. Nef was Nef no matter what she wore. He still felt a bit conscious of the change, but personally he thought she was cute no matter what. Thought she was cute....

Freddy instantly felt his face heating up while simultaneously his entire body faded a bit. He fought to maintain control of his Geist ability and came back into focus, though his tendrils still flared around him wildly. He gave a soft cough then tried to put on his usual smile for Nef. "Hey, don't worry about it! The night's only just begun, and you shared your candy with me." His smile felt a bit more natural as he tugged off another piece, somewhat large, and ate it, offering the treat back to Nef. "It's not exactly my kind of party, but hanging with you is always fun!"

His cheeks felt warm again. What was with that? He'd never reacted that way around Nef before. Did he have a fever, perhaps? Maybe it was just all the people in the building that made the place feel warm.
