Welcome to Gaia! ::

As he grinned at her, the normally stalwart ghoul was suddenly intensely glad she couldn't blush. She steeled herself. She could do this. She tried to remember how she'd done it earlier - hands on his neck, his around her...her waist. She would not swallow nervously. Nope.

She tried for a brave grin, offering her arm to lead him out on the dance floor. "Lets."

That buzz and burst of energy that Jericho felt told him he was too late to offer Riley licorice right now. She was already lost to the amount of sugar she had just ingested.

Oh boy.

As she grabbed onto his arm suddenly, he stared at her while she danced along to the current tune. Her hyperactivity at the moment was kind of infections (for him at least) so he couldn't help but grin a bit like a fool in return.

"Hadn't heard it myself but it sounds pretty nice," he chuckled. He didn't break out into dance like Riley did but he was kinda bopping along.

Claire had to rid herself of Owl memories. Ugh. Claire would explode if that ghoul ever attended Amityville. Luckily for Claire, the boil didn't seem to protest in Claire liking him, only a small question of why. How would Claire answer this? She bit her lip and looked at the boil, trying to answer.
"Why do I like you?" she said quietly "I just do. I don't need reasons."
She didn't know what else to say. She just liked him. And she wanted him. That was that.

Wait.

WAIT.

Did he just ?
Ask ?
...Yes, he did.
Claire took a deep breath and said, as calmly as she could, "what were you thinking? Like, um, where do you want to meet or... what?"

One is never truly late, of course, only fashionably so. Cat reminded himself of this at once, as he followed close beside his date, warding off any unnecessary guilt over arriving so very...fashionably...late.

He had, of course, picked such a blue to match the little blue fae as close as possible, and what blue accents his outfit held, not to mention the white of his stylish cuffs and spats, lit up brilliantly under the blacklight of the room.

Astra's excitement was rather contagious, the sight of their wonderfully co-ordinated outfits together in a gloriously crowded and colorful room, and the thought of fruit of hours upon agonizing hours of waiting in secret in his new dormitory about to pay off was enough to send him into little low chuckles of delight. He kept them to himself as best as possible, but anyone standing close enough could have caught the faint 'huuhuuhuu~' of a giggling Cat.

"Amazing, wonderful, splendid, perfect~" He agreed, giddy excitement evident in his tone.

Deacon eagerly laced his arm with Cady's, walking with the ghoul out onto the dance floor. He did enjoy this song. In fact, he'd hoped that it would be played amongst the list of songs that the DJs had at their disposal.

Not to say he would particularly want a woman that sounded so terrifying, if given the choice... But, he had to admit, it sure sounded exciting.

It was also probably a good thing that Deacon hadn't seen his date dancing with the patchwork earlier, or else he probably would have been a bit perturbed that he wasn't the first one to rest his hand on the manticore's hip. Which he did without any hesitation, apparently expecting her to know the routine.

"So, do you know how to tango?"

Looking behind, Astra couldn't help but smile at Cats quiet giggles, Feeling more excited by the minute. So much in fact that she took a step backwards, twirling gracefully on the floor and letting her dress fan out around her.

"Yes! Theres so much going around here, I can't begin to think of where to start!" She giggled again, now glancing at the small black ribbons tied in her hair and on her arms that were given to her by cat himself. Apparently they were made from the same substance he was, which she found to be quite astounding in itself. "And thankyou again for the ribbons you lent me" She smilied.

Now she gazed around the room, trying to see if she could find Riley but unfortunately she could not see neither hide nor tentacle of the ghoul. Where did she go?

Politely, Cat inclined his head in response to Astra's gratitude. "You are quite welcome, spookie~"

She was right, though, so much already seemed to be in full swing that it was impossible to know where to go or what to do first. Quietly he was hoping that he would be recognized, and pleasantly surprise those who knew him with his presence at the school. Of course, he knew there would be those who knew him better, and would be more excited then others, but a surprise was a surprise, all the same.

"Are you thirsty, perhaps?" He offered, indicating the snacks and drinks with a little nod. A reaper, as he recalled from the small amount of study he had done on his date, was a living being, and likely needed to feed themselves. He would enjoy the smell, and it all looked delicious, so it wasn't without it's bonuses.
