Glen turned and smiled brightly as he shook Ronan's hand."Glen da West! Your newest beastie!" He turned calmly with a smile and cllasped his hands behind his back and waited patiently for Kai to come to a decision.
And waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And so on and so forth.
Glen noticed Ronan wasn't handling the wait as easily and he turned and said."Aw this is nothing. You should have been there when I treated Kai to the boofet!" It was then that Draculaura decided to take matters into her own hands and Glen perked up."There ya go! That wasn't so bad."

The enthusiasm of that handshake nearly threw him off balance, but he managed to stay stable enough to smile shyly and remark "So your text said." He hesitated, then added. "Thank you for inviting me." He watched Kai, leaning a little closer to Glen to ask "What's wrong with him?" as the strange mismatched manster failed to reach any sort of decision.
"Um.. what?" He blinked at the other Selkie in complete bafflement, then down at himself. What was so special about his coat? He wondered for a moment if she was mocking him or something. "thank you?" He ran a hand through his wavy hair self consciously. How were you supposed to respond to that sort of remark? He stared at the girl. "you have a nice.. headband?" he finished lamely, now even HE knew that was outstandingly awkward.

"You're very welcome. My name is Doriana Taylor, I'm daughter of the Selkies."
She looked at the boo's group of friends closely. A small green boo and a... She really couldn't tell what the other one was. She waved silently. She wasn't used to meeting so many new people in one day!

"Um. Ronan.. " He jerkily extended a hand to shake, musing it was somewhat odd she felt the need to clarify her monster heritage. As far as he was concerned, it was obvious she was a Selkie, though he had to admit he was somewhat surprised to encounter another. "I was not aware there were any Selkie colonies in the US."

"Oh, I'm not from Uhh-Merica. I'm from the arctic." Doriana shook his hand curiosly. "What brings all these monsters here to the Die-Ner today?

Glen's recruitment drive for Spellbound to Ronan was brought to a screeching halt at the arrival of the selkie ghoul as she started to chat Ronan up about his coat and selkies and the kids around them, all but ignoring him completely.
How rude!
Glen looked from Ronan to Dorianna...
From Ronan to Dorianna...
From Ronan to Dorianna..."Hi. Don't mind me. I'm Glen." He huffed and passed one of the moancaccino malts from Draculaura to Ronan and then turned and walked back over to where Kai was and handed him his."Here ya go Kai! Oooo! Extra extra scaramel crunch on yours!" Glen shoved a straw in his own malt and struggled to inhale the thick drink. After a brief success, Glen looked at his bluddy."I dunno if we can count on Ronan. He seemed interested but then that ghoul over there started recruiting him into some kinda selkie fashion show or family reunion or something."

Glen da West Glen looked from Ronan to Dorianna...

She walked over to Glen and Kai to give a formal apology."I must apologize for interrupting your quite... important conservation, i take it? All I really wanted to do was compliment him on that wonderful coat of his."She looked at the two curiously. After all, where's the harm in meeting some more people?"I take it that you're Glen? I'm Dorianna, but most just call me Dori... Who's your friend over there?" She pointed at silent Kai.

Flustered and bewildered, Ronan took the glass from Glen and thanked him, then watched him wander off in a huff. What'd he do this time?
"I.. don't... " He looked around, seeking out Meme who he'd come to the conclusion was the one monster he could trust not to be frustratingly obtuse. Maybe she could explain all this to him, because right now he was totally confused.
"Monsters? Uh.. new scaremester. Not sure why everyone decided to come here though. Perhaps it's the only place open?" He guessed, watching Glen and wondering if he should apologise, though clueless as to what he'd be apologising for.
"I think I have offended him." He made a note to ask the clown girl about it later, she'd already explained why he'd upset Ascreama so perhaps she'd have some insight on this current situation.

Glen openly blinked at Dorianna. Hadn't he just openly said he was Glen right before he left her and Ronan to rejoin Kai?
It was only when she asked who his friend was that he snapped himself from his thoughts (stop laughing!) and looked to whom she was pointing at -- and it was Kai -- whom he was standing right beside.
He looked at Dorianna and lifted a single eyebrow."Boo! First you ignore me and now you're acting as if my best boo doesn't even exist! Rude!" He rolled his eyes and turned to spot Rory."Hiya cuz o' mine! Mom wants to know if you and your mom are free for dinner next freakend! I'll leave my mirror open for you to drop me a line." He winked and pointed his finger at Rory, making that 'click' noise with his tongue before turning to Ronan."If you wanna sign up for try outs, the sign up sheet is at the Looking Glass. Toralei will be in touch." Glen then faced Kai."C'mon bluddy boy! We got lots more posters to hang around town and then it's off to the Looking Glass to see if anyone signed up!" He grasped Kai (who just barely was able to grab his moanchaccino malt and YOINK! Out the door they flew -- literally -- on Glen's skateboard.

Anne's staring into space, thinking about everything that just happened. Her head goes closer, and closer, lower and lower to the table. She falls asleep on the cool surface. "vachachdjcnc," she mumbles. emotion_zzz

"yeabuh-" Rory watched Glen sashay out of the Die-ner. "My mother hates your mom!"
Too late. Glen and Kai were already gone. Glen mentioning his mother reminded Rory......of his mother. His mother whom would be back from her day job of answering magic mirrors and appearing at little girl slumber parties soon.
His mother who did not approve of his fanging out in the real world and may have likely managed to see him nearly get choked to death by a Sack-man.
"Er....yeah...speaking of, I'd better be getting home, you guys."

That was.. .utterly confusing. "Alrig..." He managed a faint wave as Glen rushed off with his friend, just staring in absolute incomprehension as to what the heck had just happened there. Why were other monsters so frustratingly baffling?
At length he remembered he had a drink in his hands and trudged back to his seat to drink it. it was remarkably good, but he mused it would have tasted better had he not felt so awkward and uncomfortable.
He looked to Rory and nodded. "Farewell Rorrim, " He finished his drink quickly and looked around at the rest of the table. "I should return to unpacking. Colridge will expect feeding and he gets annoyed if i'm late." With no further explanation, he paid his portion of the cheque and moved to stand.

Dashner blinked in confusion. Something had to be up with Ronan. He saluted to his beasties, as in saying goodbye for now, and he got up to pay his bill.

Rory followed Dashner to the register. There was one way he could salvage today's escapade; he could pay for Marceline's dinner! The bee ghoul hostess buzzed as she rang up his tab.
"That'll be $20.45, pleazzzze." Rory reached into his wallet and pulled out some cash. The bee ghoul took it...paused...looked closer at it...turned it over and looked at the back....
"I'm zzzorry, zir, but I can't aczzzept this money."
"Huh?" Rory asked, puzzled. "Why not?"
"It'zzz backwardzzz." She held up the dollar and and a dollar that Dashner had just paid, and showed the difference...they were mirror images of each other.
"But....uh...I mean....that's the only sort of money I have!" Rory was chagrined. He did all of his shopping by catalog or online in Mirrorverse. It hadn't occurred to him that he'd have to get his currency converted!
"Uh..." Rory looked around, panicked. Dashner had already left. So had Ronan. Asking Marceline for a lender was going to be sooo humiliating...but what was his other option? Doing dishes? That could be dangerous!
