Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was a flicker of an odd expression for just a moment as she brought up the hair tying. Yes. Pretty much no one else would have been able to get away with that one for sure. Not only was she able to get that up, but the hair tie hadn't been removed immediately.

"I am not quite certain what you see in that," he commented before shaking his head to himself. Shun just went on addressed the next thing she said.

"Of course I mean it," he added. Rarely did he ever say something he didn't mean. After all he wasn't one who liked to waste words.

As the song had come to an end, he pulled back just so he could place a hand at the side of her face before kissing her gently.

There was a soft giggle again as Mitsu reached up with her hands to play with the ponytail. "I like seeing your face, but...I also like the way your hair is too." Her fingers lightly grasped the tie in his hair and gave it a gentle tug pulling the knot free. In an instant his hair was free to hang about his face as it normally did and Mitsu simply held the hair tie for now.

"I know you do," Mitsu reassured smiling warmly at him. It was because he didn't throw compliments down left and right that Mitsu knew when he said something it was sincere and what he truly believed. Shun didn't sugar coat things he was honest and she loved that about him.

As their dance came to a halt the lycan paused as Shun pulled back just enough to place a hand against her cheek. It never failed to amaze her how she felt bats fluttering in her stomach as he leaned forward to kiss her though she was quick to return the gesture. Her arms wrapped around the back of his neck snugly as she closed her eyes relishing the feel of his lips against hers.

"Oh please, I am merely following your lead!" Needle tsked as he tried to deny credit for her, uh, dancing. She danced often alone or with her sister, but it was nothing like this. Not even close! With Muka around, she found she wasn't embarrassed by her lack of talent on the subject; clearly, he taught her it was possible to have fun without being good at something!

She took his offered hand, wandering off the dance floor with him and more towards the food tables. "Let us get you fed, then!" The Engraver giggled, reaching over with her free hand to pat his grumbling belly. His question was given actually serious consideration; was it a bad time? "Mmm, well, you are better versed in these get-togethers, that is entirely up to you! However if you wanted to, I would not mind trying to beat you." Last time didn't go so well, but the next time? The next time it would be different. She knew his weird eating style now, it couldn't distract her!

Hopefully.



"Oh come now, that can't be true." Salbei tsked with a light laugh as Taima attempted to be modest. The tall Horseman picked up what looked like a sweet treat, holding it with the tips of his fingers as though studying it intensely first; he might have been too, if Taima were not talking to him. He had learned long ago that giving someone your full attention was the best way to get them on your side, and so he had incorporated it into his standards. Thus, while the Thunderbird spoke, he kept his red eyes on her, absorbing every word; his concentration only broke once or twice, in order to turn his head away and cough, fighting very hard to keep it under control.

"Now, see? There is plenty to you. A hungry mind eager for experience! That is an entire book waiting to be opened, you students do like to sell yourselves short." He recalled another student that overlooked his advantages merely because he focused on not being fast. Sigh! They were still children after all, in the grand scheme of things. "As for cooking, well, that's what practice is for. Practice and being able to follow instructions." The thought made him give a rather throaty chuckle as though he were covering up a cough, shifting the sweet treat into one thin hand to accept the cup with the other.

"Hmm...well, that is something of a very long story... Were you attending the Academy for the Four Clans Exchange trip?" It was an important question, which would determind how he answered her question.



"Only always, dude." Mac laughed, giving a little salute to the ghost. His general inability to remember faces made him unsure who this was, but he at least had a familiar air about him. He knew this ghost, but he couldn't quite put a name to him. It took him a minute, but between the way they had been leaning in and the almost possessive hold on the evil monster's shoulder, he imagined that this was Seiji. The name was more familiar than the face, as there was a period of time where Lizzy wouldn't stop about a double date.

Mac's gaze focused on his actual target then, smiling in such a friendly way he almost felt sick for it. He imagined, deep down, that how he felt about merely being near Junko was how Lizzy felt about him right now...only a lot less simmering disapproval. "Why yes, Junko, Yes there is. I was wondering if you'd like to dance with me?" The Reaper paused enough to look at Seiji. "If your date doesn't mind, of course~" Because he was being nice today. That meant no just grabbing her and carting her off. Nice.

"Please?" You know Lizzy's watching, Junko. n____n

Pulling back from the kiss Mitsu moved to the side so that she could take hold of her reaper's arm. "Something to eat sounds nice." She agreed. "I still need to catch up with Xiu and Lizzy at some point." And Freya. She had kinda been stolen away in the middle of their dance.

Moving back off the dance floor Mitsu headed toward one of the refreshment tables to look over the different treats available to eat. As usual it seemed like there was more things than she could even imagine. Some of them she had no idea what they were but was certain they would taste amazing. It was just a matter of finding something without chocolate.

Nodding quietly, Shun scanned the area to see where the two girls in question might be right now. He thought he spotted one of them, but first it was time for a snack. Once they were at the refreshment table, he took up a plate and grabbed a few things here and there. As always, there was a large variety of things they could take. Some meaty while others more along the sweet side.

Oh, there was a vanilla eclair. Picking one up, he offered it to the girl, knowing that she had a bit of a sweet tooth.

"I believe they call that the chicken dance, made more as a joke then a real dance. Still a dance technically though." He shrugged chuckling just a bit seeing Amphi flap her arms about, it was rather odd seeing her do that. She clearly wasn't one for dancing let alone trying to mimic one with serious intent.

Sharpie meanwhile gasped, "I must find her at once!" He leaned in at the whisper offering a nod before scampering off, he would have to find someitnh nice to bring Biskoto this sounded like serious unfun stuff that needed BFF fun making to make it better.

Of course after all of that and the sweep False could only smile. "That's the point, the big boil or ghoul is suapposed to sweep the smaller one up. I'd never ask you to sweep me up but I could say you've 'taken my breath away' just a bit." He looked from the tip of her hair down to her toes noting that she was rather breath taking in the short dress.

"As for the glitter. Only black and green." He tugged a few more spheres from the sleeve of his robes before tucking them away just as quickly, "I promised Jack I would fight for his honor and his alone. Little Remi Blue will have to find his own terrible minions to go about glittering up prom in his name for him."

Sharpie froze however, Danny was there he was being praised, he stopped mid strut one paw up in the air, dainty little ink boots painted up to his first joint as he looked back over his shoulder little bow tie just ever so precious, "Miss Danny?"

"WOOOOAAAAH OOOOH!"

Look at all the masks! It was pretty awesome really. Tseng marveled at the sights as he came in (albeit late - he was busy doing 'hero' work). It all looked pretty grand really. Wearing a more formal attire, he also donned a fairly ornate mask for the occasion. Grinning, he wandered on in towards the dance floor. He could see a few horsemen scattered about, but there were also students. So many students!

"This is great! Wonderful! Such mystery and majesty all around!" he remarked while spinning about with his hands extended. He might have accidentally smacked into a certain flame demon while doing so.

"AH! My humblest appologies!" he quickly said while bowing down to her. She seemed to be speaking to a couple others at the moment, so he hoped he hadn't disrupted anything.

Amphi nodded, "Yes! It was a much...uhm...non...um...Dance..." She mumbled, her arms dropping. Maybe she was horrible at it. "I will have to practice it if I am to succeed at dancing in general!" She sobered at the cat and nodded, "You do what you must Sharpie! Please tell her if you find her that Amphi misses her as well!"

"Ah...So because you are bigger then it only works for you!" She flushed and nodded, "Oh well...I apologize for taking your breath away! But I don't know how to give it back either...." If she realized that he was flattering her, she didn't quite catch on- "OH! Are....Are you complimenting me on my dress??" She smoothed her dress again. "Ah yes! Thank you! It is much more fitting for me not to be constricted by the layers of fabric and...I tripped once...." She admitted, "But False, You look handsome as...um...welll...Very....Eye catching."

She was about to comment on his alliance with this Jack when Danny came up, the hug enticed a small jump and a soft "oh!" as she felt the fire demon around her.

"Danny! Hello again! I am sorry I had to leave so suddenly!" She looked around for Roch, wondering if the boil was with his Best friend. Not seeing him, she frowned. "Roch didn't return to you?"

And then Danny was looking at Sharpie and Thana was here and Amphi seemed a little frazzled.

"Thana!" She waved, "Ah yes! False swept me from the dance floor over here and has gifted me with...Sparkles."

Amphi's face was like emotion_kirakira
