"Ah... I haven't been here very long, but it seems very lively so far?" Malodore made an attempt, at least. "Oh! I appreciate the minipet festivities. Yes. Though, I was wondering..." It leaned closer to Kasumi and dropped its voice to a whisper. "Are there measures in place to prevent tampering with the food and drink?"

As Riley watched Junko leave, she felt something. It made her start, just slightly, as she realized what she had just received. Malodore had, perhaps, been so thoroughly exposed to her wordless affections, that it had just responded to her with something that she had, until that moment, thought only mindflayers did. At least, on purpose. Sending wordless expressions on purpose was something a normal mind didn't do - unless they'd been inundated with them on a daily basis, she supposed.
She'd been rubbing off on it.
She said nothing of her revelation, instead giving Kasumi a polite nod of greeting as she came by to greet Junko. She seemed not to be paying attention to the conversation, but caught the site of Jericho and Lizzy across the room - playing on their video game handheld devices. Her eyes turned to slits. And she glared.
And glared.
And glared.
Jericho, go sign up you and your date for that dance contest, or I will throw all of your treasure into your lava pool, that glare said wordlessly.

Sosiqui "Ah... I haven't been here very long, but it seems very lively so far?" Malodore made an attempt, at least. "Oh! I appreciate the minipet festivities. Yes. Though, I was wondering..." It leaned closer to Kasumi and dropped its voice to a whisper. "Are there measures in place to prevent tampering with the food and drink?" A few more pen clicks and Kasumi leaned back, nodding vigorously "I assure you, we had no idea it would happen last time, but I've inspected everything three times." Another confident nod and Kasumi started to smile. "I do hope your darling white pup has fun with the minipet dance! What was her name, by the way?"

 Ren was irritated and it was all Gabrian's fault.
"Aren't I supposed to be the one escorting you?" he murmured, somewhat snarkily, to the nix, frowning a bit as the two made their way into the crowded room. The music was loud, thrumming throughout the walls with a pleasant hum, and Ren saw a few familiar faces here and there. He wondered whether or not LW and Alessa had made it yet, golden eyes sliding first left, then right to search for them. They had made plans to meet at the dance, after all, and the last thing he wanted was to stand them up.
He did not see the familiar flashes of red and auburn hair, but he did see some of the others already there - Ren easily recognized Tset, though he couldn't recall ever meeting the boil who was with her. And he thought he might have spied Calder over on the other side...
His hands in his pockets, Ren rocked back on his heels, casting a glare back up at Gabrian. Yes, he was very irritated. Very, very irritated. And rather a lot more things as well, but for now he was settling for irritation because, well, it worked.
And it was all Gabrian's fault.
"Wellllll..?" he said to the other, drawing out the word languidly, attempting to act normally. "Shall we go look for the ghouls?"

"Ah, her name is Luce," Malodore said, settling back in its chair now that it had asked its Big Secret Question. It opened its beak slightly in a smile. "Though I'm not sure how good she is at dancing..." From the looks of things, the cwn pup had mostly been running around play-bowing at everything.
And... well! If the food was safe, perhaps it would indulge? Its nervousness had left a bit of stomach acid behind, ready and willing to digest. Needing to digest, even. The trials of the undead. "Are there brains on the menu?"

Twitching at the announcement, Jericho just did what he could to drown out the idea while playing his game since the place was getting more crowded now. Glancing up as Lizzy addressed him, he nodded and looked on around.
The dragon didn't see anyone that fit that description. However, what he did see was a Mindflayer glaring right at him. He felt an intense... murderous intent coming from her. But it wasn't directed at him.
His treasure was in danger.
Without any hesitation whatsoever, he power downed his DS and stood up, glancing down at Lizzy in the process.
"Come on. We're dancing."
Jericho and Lizzy will be dancing like we've never danced before!

Do very well? Clearly Kasumi didn't know Junko had never danced before. She chuckled nervously and rubbed at the back of her neck, giving her ghost friend a sheepish smile. "I'll do my best not to disappoint you." She promised Kasumi, watching as she took out her clipboard and went into Student Council mode. Junko pressed her fingers to her lips and giggled, releasing her friend to sit back down in her seat for now. This was a party! Kasumi didn't need to work! How silly.
"I just got here myself, so I can't think of anything to answer you just yet." Oh, but Malodore made a good point. She didn't want to be followed back to her dorm by anymore pink elephants. For now Junko didn't notice Riley was glaring at anyone, her attention on Malodore and Kasumi. "I'm curious how everyone gets their alcohol." Not because she wanted it, because Junko did not want it, but because she was purely curious who kept spiking the punch.

The wrath demon was just beginning to wrap his head around what he had agreed, no, encouraged, Tset to do when he caught sight of a certain grumpy fox girl in a very un-pajama-y getup.
"Holly?" he muttered. Was that really her? Maybe there was something in the eel. He tried again. "Holly!" West waved her over, wishing to see her face up close before he started mocking her.

When Alessa had been told that Gabe and Ren, her and LW's respective boilfriends for Jack's sake, were going together she had clicked her tongue and heaved a sigh to hide her annoyance. She swore, those two together were just a mess of trouble no matter what was going on. She really had hoped they would stay mature for this, as it was scarentine's day after all, but apparently that had been wishful thinking. So she'd busied herself helping LW with some of the more womanly affects. It kept her mind off of the disappointment, at least for the time being.
Showing up amongst a crowd of couples and singles all dressed for the occasion, though, she was painfully aware that she had been expecting to be on Ren's arm, not LW's. Boils! If the boys couldn't predict their disapproval, they were sure to hear about it when they showed up. Or rather, when they managed to track the two ghouls down.
"Yes," Alessa nodded to her friend, though the small lines in her brow suggested her slightly disgruntled attitude. "Let's give it all we've got...make those boils wish they'd knocked it off for once," she flashed her friend a smile. Alessa might not consider herself spiteful, per say, but she was very big on fairness. It would only be fair to string the boys around a little, as they seemed to have done to them, if not purposefully.

Brains. Wat. Riley snapped out of her glare when she heard Malodore ask about the menu, instantly interested - however, she realized that the party was in full swing, and it was past time for her to start the dance contest. Oops. Reluctently, she disentangled her hand from Malodore's - how she hated doing that.. - and stood up.
I'll be back in a few moments. Malodore dear, if you find a nice snack, bring me some as well? After all, they were talking about brains. That being said, she headed off to the stage.

"Ehh?" Was Lizzy's reply as she stared up, completely baffled and surprised; having been staring down at the screen of her DS, she had missed Riley's intense glare - and the reason behind Jericho's sudden change in heart. She could only stare, unblinking - did he just use the words 'we're' and 'dance' in the same sentence without a 'not' in the middle? Apparently he did.
"You're, uh, quite full of surprises tonight... Why the sudden decision?" She raised an eye brow, wondering if he could even dance. Then again, she wasn't exactly an expert at dancing either - she never found it natural to do so. After a pause, she stood up as well; instead of turning off her DS, however, she simply close the cover to put it on power saver mode, "Let us dance then. Probably awkwardly..." A muttered confession that she wasn't the best dancer around as she slipped her DS back into her handbag, blushing.
Hopefully they won't have to do anything... Embarrassing.

 Riley had no more than taken a few steps when she was inundated with the worst thing she could have possibly asked for - gnomes scuttling around to help her. She almost kicked one away as it ran past her leg, and pushed herself up to sit on the stage and keep her legs away from their little, creepy, grabby selves. She took a moment to look at the entirety of the congregation, so that she would be able to touch every mind at once - but she was distracted when a gnome banged the microphone against her knee. She glared down at it, and took the offering, then looked at what she was being given. Then she looked at the gnome. And again at the microphone. And once more at the gnome. ".. It's so they can hear you!" The gnome piped out cheerfully, and Riley's eyes slit dangerously. It started to back away, no longer very cheerful about how happy it was to be helpful. Attention, everyone. Riley's voice filtered quiet but clear into every mind in the room. The Dance Contest will now begin. You may continue to sign up while we are judging, however you are now free to enter the dance floor and perform your dance for the judges.The excited scuttling of the gnome judges at her feet made her want to curl her legs up underneath her. Just please, keep it clean.She chucked the unused microphone at the gnome who had given it to her, quite satisfied at the sound it made as it pinged right off of his head. The microphone did manage a use, as it picked up one word when it struck. "OW!"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW DO I PLAY THE DANCE GAME, RILEY?!
It's simple. There will be multiple rounds, and you must beat a certain score in your rolls to pass that round. If not, Riley will tap you out and you must sit back down.
If you're dancing as a couple, each one of you rolls 1d10 and posts a dance roleplay. Your combined total is your score.
If you're dancing solo, roll 1d20. This is your score.
And the roll to beat for round one is..9!

Malodore glanced at Junko as Riley made her announcement - it was time, apparently! Best to get it over with quickly, no? "Ah... shall we proceed to the dance floor?"
It would have to snack afterwards. Probably a better plan.

Was that her name? She looked up and didn't see anyone looking at her, well trying to get her attention. There is was again. Holly turned and saw West waving her over. Where was that adorable ghoul that he was there with, maybe signing up for the dance thing she heard about?
Well he certainly cleaned up for this. She was surprised he showed up at all but then again she ended up coming too. "West, you ended up coming? Where is, uh, Tset." That was her name she had thought. "And yes, I actually do wear things other than my pajamas."

"I get the feeling it'd be the end of my horde if I didn't," Jericho mumbled while heading to the dance floor with Lizzy. He stopped when he was there to listen to Riley start the contest officially. There was a little hesitation in his movements, but he was determined to try and get this over with.
Turning towards his partner for the night, he gave an awkward bow before holding his hand out tentatively for her to take. He had never danced with another person before so he wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do, but he's at least seen it happen before. Sort of. The dragon hardly ever danced by himself either for that matter.
"Might as well make the most of this," he said, though he didn't sound completely enthusiastic.
