Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( I agree about just making a list and randomizing the number~ it'd be a lot easier on you, childs. :> But if we are picking preferences, Tset is only into boils~ ))

The night was wearing on, but Tsetsiliya didn't really seem to notice. She stood out of the way as newcomers entered, watching with a detached, pleasant interest in the goings-on. There was something about a minipet being on the loose (Claire seemed rather surprised when she found it), a few people she had seen around campus entered, along with some she didn't recognize. Everything was floating along in a happy haze. Well, good! Already much more entertaining than a deghoultante ball!

She fished around the table for another bottle of whatever it was Claire gave her (the lables on these bottles were designed so oddly, it was hard to read), and joined the growing circle. Oh, was it game time? The flyer she had skimmed said there would be games - that's good, she liked games.

Settling herself next to Claire (seeing as she had yet to meet anyone else yet), bottle in hand, she nodded along to the rules. They were using a bottle? What kind of strange game could this be?

Then she mentioned kissing. The poludnica's pale face flushed brightly. This was a kissing game?! Her timid eyes glanced around the circle at the others. That meant that she could end up.. that someone could.. She took another sip. Claire says it is only a game, she thought. Nothing to worry about. There is nothing wrong with a kiss!

Her shaking hands begged to differ.

((I'm just going to go ahead and roll - if someone wants to stick to only boils or ghouls, I figure they can make their own list of only boils or only ghouls and roll from that then!

I'm going to take the full list. This will not be awkward at ALL >A> roffle *will edit in a bit*

Edit: OH RANDOMIZER WTF WTF GABE DOES NOT WANT TO KISS REN OF ALL PEOPLE PRESENT. SOB SOB XD WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THE GRYPHON??))

Gabrian's attention was diverted towards Alessa as both wolf and gryphon tried to reassure her, "That would be hardly fair. She's the one that insisted we play this game by the rules and that not doing so would be hypocritical. She should not be allowed to get a buffer zone no more than you or I should," he crossed his arms over his chest again, making the Prism scareon whine; she shifted and dropped down to his lap instead, still looking mildly unsure over this whole ordeal.

He found himself snorting softly at LW's words, "Ahh... unfortunately, I wouldn't bet too many pumpkin seeds on that," fate had this thing where it loved to ******** with him, he'd noticed, and as such, he had little doubt it still reserved more than one surprise. Arching a brow, he dropped the cross armed pose again, "A freebie, was that? Hhmmmm..." the humming sound made it seem he didn't disapprove of that. At least not entirely. In fact, he seemed rather amused again, and when he noticed her mild blush, he smirked; the fact she'd leaned away as he leaned in also didn't go unnoticed, "Of course I'm right," this was whispered, "I'm always right," his gaze slid to her tail as it thumped the floor and his smirk relaxed into a small, almost sweet smile, "Knock yourself out then," it was as much of an invitation as she was going to get.

It was right around then that their hostess began to explain the rules, and by the time she finished, the nix had decided that the sooner he get the awkward over, the better. There were few chances of the bottle landing on him of all people when others spun it, given all the people in the room, so the sooner he went and got his turn over with, the better, "I'll go first then," he drawled out, and then reached out to grab the bottle in the center of the circle. He spun it and watched as it turned and turned and turned and... landed on Ren.

The demon paused and stared at the bottle. Then, he shifted tactics and scowled at it. When that didn't work, he offered the offending item a sharp, scalding glare, and when it still refused to budge even an inch, the lifted a hand to cover his face, "Oh, for the love of..." he peeked through his fingers at the bottle, but nope; it was still pointing obnoxiously at Ren.

ARG. Why did it have to be the gryphon?! Of all people present, Ren was the worst one that damnable bottle could have landed on! See? This was exactly what he'd been talking about when he said fate liked to ******** with him, "Oh, fine, fine!" he dropped his hand and shifted his pose snaking an arm around his scareon and then moved so that he could reach beyond LW, "We never, ever speak of this again," he hissed at the gryphon when they were almost nose to nose, hoping no one else heard him, and then reached for the base of his neck with his free hand.

The kiss lasted just perhaps, a few beats more than it should have, but that was more because Gabrian did not want to be accused of bullshitting the whole thing and told to redo it than anything else. When he pulled away, he opened his eyes again and squinted at the gryphon, "I swear. One word out of you and I'll bite you."

Absolutely and completely mortified didn't even begin to describe how Gabrian felt. It did not help things that he knew Ren had done all what he had more because it was him and the gryphon knew it would unsettle him, "I didn't mean THAT type of bite, birdbrain!" he let go of the other boil's neck and used his free hand to place it on the gryphon's chest, almost as if trying to set some distance between them without actually drawing away just yet. In his defense, his mind had gone back to that whole 'running around his skull like a beheaded chicken' thing, and thus... it had not dawned on the demon that pulling away was the best method to set space between them.

When Ren finally released him, Gabrian licked his lips, frowned at the boil and moved back to his seat. His arms came around his scareon and the nix clung to her, now actually both blushing again and looking horribly uncomfortable. He scowled at some point towards his left and tried, for all he was worth, to look like he hadn't just kissed his rival (friend? Whatever), "Yes, it's your turn. Just shut up and spin the Jack damned bottle already," there was just no way in Halloween that the thing would land on him. No way. It was just an... improbability, and this that the only reason the nix was managing to relax back into his seat. Alas, his tail was moving sharply behind him, swishing from side to side, twitching wildly, betraying the nervousness he was not showing on his face.

Although she was fighting off a case of the "I will vomit everywhere-ious" she was struck mute by the act played out before her. She had gathered the two weren't friends, heck, she had closer enimies than these two! But now they were..."Oh my!"

Sarias had never seen inter-species locking lips before, dam, some students didn't even have lips to lock! But here these two were going at it for all...2 seconds, but it didn't matter. IT HAD HAPPENED.

At first she didn't know whether to laugh, vomit, laugh and vomit together. So many choices! But if anything she felt a raise of respect for the two. They hadn't backed down, or made it to some huge embarrassment-fest...even if it was.

"Yes Ren, I believe it is your turn." She muttered, her smile reaching her eyes for the first time in weeks. This was going to be fun.....with vomit and laughter abound!

"Ohh claire! You lucky girl! Haha! You get to have Gabe's seconds!"

LW watched Gabe with a twinkle to her eyes. Oh if he kept playing this game, she would throw in another freebie. And it wouldn't be a little peck. Nor on the cheek. She didn't think he'd disapprove of it either. "Oh? Always right?" Ooooh! Had he just given her permission to cuddle and snuggle if she felt like it? The she-wolf's gaze looked him over slowly again. Not bad at all. "I might just take advantage of that then."

Her attention moved away from the Nix, possibly a little reluctantly, to focus on their hostess as she explained the game. Easy enough to remember. Whoever the bottle landed on you kissed. When Gabe volunteered to go first, she gave him a teasing nudge and watched the bottle turn. And turn. And...LW busted out in laughter. She was all but folded over herself as she laughed. This was just priceless!

Oh she was not going to let either of those two live it down either. She hadn't been able to fully hear their whispers, but she did put a hand on each of their legs after. "Now now, boys." Her look was devilish but a little sympathetic towards Gabe. She knew Ren would recover just fine.

LW watched as Ren spun the bottle and it landed on their host. While the gryphon moved to approach their host, LW leaned towards Gabe. "Hey! Really now, it wasn't that bad, was it?"

Alessa relaxed a little, mainly because Ren and LW's responses were comforting. Sweet even. Claire's bit of advice wasn't bad either, though she wasn't sure she could just see it as a game but...it was a nice try. Her posture was visibly more relaxed and less like a stiff animal ready to bolt, or wanting too. She couldn't say she was comfortable, but she felt braver, or maybe not braver, but ready to face it as a challenge. She was going to do this herself...she didn't need to make anyone do anything for her. "Thank you," she told Ren, and LW too, "But I think I can do it my-"

She was interrupted by Gabe's little tirrade on fairness and how she needed to do it herself. While she was annoyed because he had basically argued for the point that she was going to make herself, she was more fussed at what he was arguing against overall. "Stop being a jerk, they were trying to be nice," she hissed at him. Needless to say, when it was his turn and he spun well...his horror at the result was lovely. Though she immediately felt bad for Ren.

...Or not, because apparently Ren had enjoyed it. Her face had turned a little pink while watching (though she had only managed to a few seconds before looking away) and now she wasn't sure what to think. And...this was going to be the whole game? Oh boy. She took in a deep breath and then settled back a little, passing a glance at Claire.

((For the record, can you change Riley's gender on that list to G/B? She's both. XDDDD)

Riley forced back a snort of laughter as Gabe leaned in to kiss Ren. She knew neither of the students well, but one could feel the unease in the air. She gripped Jericho's arm, and pulled him closer - not that she needed to lean in to whisper, her thoughts only reached him.

If anything, this is hilarious to watch. She commented, eyes crinkling in mirth, then they flickered to him deviously. Want to make it even worse, when it's my turn? A plan had begun to surface. A terrible, terrible one.
