Marceline breathed a heavy sigh as Rory's moment on the Kiss Kam ended uneventfully. This whole thing seemed so... exploitative, to her, and her stomach turned as she wondered if the Kiss Kam would turn on her next. Crouching down low, Marceline slid herself between the screecher seats and slipped beneath the stands, at least for the rest of halftime.
She reached into her purse and grabbed a smattering of tips from her last shift at work. Thumbing through the bills she determined she had enough for a scorn-dog and a Pepscream, and she got in the snack bar line. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, and she was thinking too hard, as per the usual. Rory seemed fairly willing to kiss Jewels for the Kiss Kam... did that mean he had feelings for her? And if he did, where did that leave them? Surely, something to bring up before the dance tomorrow...

"w... where did the pillows come from?" She was sure they weren't there before, but for the sake of her own happiness she decided to give Rory the benefit of the doubt. What was it Tori was always saying? positive thinking and all that?
It was more pleasant to think he had bad aim than to believe he'd just not wanted to touch her and instead thrown himself to the floor.
She reached out a hand to help him up.
"a... are you alright?" Her voice cracked a little, self doubt still nagging away at her.

"Aunt Scarie." Rory answered as he tipped the Scream King throne back up to its proper position. "And I'm all right! Surprisingly! Not even another hairline fracture!"
Rory looked at Spectra, zooming to and fro trying to find some couples to shoot with the Kiss Kam. Unfortunately, most monsters were now more concerned with awaiting the second half of the game.
"I, uh....sort of hope she doesn't come back here." Rory admitted sheepishy. "I know this is super-uncool to admit, but I've never kissed a ghoul before. Except mother. Aaaand saying that is even more super-uncool. I mean, I know boos out here go around kissing ghouls all the time, but it makes me really, really, really, REAAAAAALLY nervous."

Ronan looked up as the sack man passed through, frowning in bafflement at his comment.
"kiss.. cam?" He looked to Roswell for clarification on what that meant.

Jewels remembered Marceline's remark earlier about kissing and smiled softly, helping to straighten Rory's crown.
"With the right ghoul, it shouldn't be scary." She told him, handing him his sceptre. "You'll know when it's right." Or so all those romance novels she'd read claimed.

Draconia zipped her coat up a bit further as Halfslime ended and the Nightmares and the Quarry retook the field. The cool chill in the breeze reminded her that it was definitely fall now. She joined Glen and everymonster else in the stands in applauding as her friends jogged out, looking seriously grim and determined to keep their lead in the second half.
Granite City was starting with possession of the ball. It was passed to the Quarry Quarterback, Rocco, and he backed up a couple of yards, looking for an opening. Two giagantic gargoyles shoved aside Heath and Holt, and a pass was completed to a third gargoyle. He started lumbering with the ball...
"Get 'im, Manny!" Draconia screamed, not realizing she was on her feet. "PULVERIZE 'IM!"
Manny Taur snorted and charged on the field, going for a tackle. He got the gargoyle by the calves, and down the Quarry went.
"YEAH! GO MANNY! GO!!!" Draconia cried, waving a fist in the air. Granite City had gained 9 yards, but it could have been worse. Draconia suddenly became acutely aware of the fact that her wings had bopped Glen backwards into the next row.
"Oh...er...I mean...go team!" Draconia quickly sat down and did her best to look like a proper lady.

Motthew chuckled at Doran and ruffled his hair "Yeah, definitely! It's killer!" he laughed and looked back out to the field. Just then... as the time clicked down, moments before the second half, the kiss cam still looking for more victims couples in the stands. Motthew blinked when, suddenly, the camera pointed their way, He and Doriana big on the screen.
His face flushed a little from the attention. Hey, if you can't beat'em, right? He smiled and looked at Doriana "Hey, Dori?" he said to her. Just as she turned to look at him, he quickly gave her a little peck on the lips "Gotcha." he said.

Doriana's eyes widened. Motthew kissed her... He kissed her! Her face turned a deep dark red and she looked at the ground, speechless. Beside her, her brother Doran began flipping out.
"Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!! That spreads GERMS!" He wrinkled his nose in disgust, his bangs falling in his eyes.
Doriana looked up at Motthew and nodded awkwardly. "That was... Cute," she said, grinning.

"Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!! That spreads GERMS!" He wrinkled his nose in disgust, his bangs falling in his eyes.
Motthew looked at Doran and laughed "Haha! Oh no! I guess I never considered GERMS!" he joked. He looked at Doriana and just winked, his antennae twitching.

Only a matter of seconds now, surely everyone was safe from the humiliation of the dreaded kiss cam?
But no, it had one final victim couple to share with the stands.
Marceline's face appeared on the big screen, and beside her, a rather bewildered, then suddenly grinning naga boy.
"Jus' when we thought we were safe huh?" He indicated upward with one of his four hands.
All around were chants of "Kiss her! KISS HER!"
He shrugged "Well... dinnae want tae disappoint the audience d' we?"

Doriana blushed again, and Doran's big curious eyes looked at Motthew in wonder. Then he began singing out.. "DORI AND MOTTHEW SITTING IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES-"
Doriana cut him off. "I believe that we get the message, Doran," she said, parting his bangs to the side again with care, before looking back at Motthew and nudging him playfully.

"Touchdown, Granite City!" The announcement came over the loudspeakers to boos.
Draconia glanced at the scoreboard. The score was now 28 to 32, Quarry in the lead. She felt fangxious for her team as Granite City punted for the hextra point, bringing their score up to 33.
"Come on now, boos...." She tried to psyche herself up. "You can do it!"
She looked at Glen sitting next to her.
"They can do it!"
"Well, yeah, sure they can."
"THEY CAN DO IT!" She grabbed Glen and bobbled him back and forth. "Stop being so nervous Glen, I'm PERFECTLY certain that the Nightmares can dig themselves out of this hole!"

Perry Hartley He shrugged "Well... dinnae want tae disappoint the audience d' we?"
Nathair was close enough to Marceline's face such that she could count the scales on his face. Everything felt like it was happening in slow motion... was this to be her first kiss? With a strange manster she'd never met before this very moment? Oh, the inhumanity!
Jewels' words from earlier in the day echoed in her mind...
"You want your first kiss to be just perfect."
"First kiss... just perfect"
"...just perfect..."
...
This wasn't her idea of perfect at all! "No!!!" Marceline shrieked. Taking a huge step back, she wound up her arm and hurled her Pepscream at Nathair's head. The explosion of soda and ice as it collided with the naga's face made for some fantastic Instant Replay footage, and the collective of the spectators sang in a chorus of sympathetic "ooooooh!"s.
Catching her breath, and her manners, Marceline squeaked a final, “I am so sorry!” before scampering back to her seat, just as the second half started.

He seemed to take it good humouredly enough. Rubbing at the sore spot where the can had hit and shrugging for the camera while "waaah waaah" sound effects played.
Hey, ye win some, ye lose some.
"Nay hard feelin's lass. Enjoy the game!" he called after her, wiping soda from his face and clothing as best he could. Yeah, this was gonna be gross if he didn't go wash up.
He slithered off to the washrooms, bowing and playing for the audience the entire way.
Then the game could begin. The whistle went and Granite City had the ball...

Motthew laughed at Doran. He grinned at Doriana and nudged her back, "Clever kid." he teased.
He looked ahead, then around and tilted his head "Speaking of clever... what do you think is taking Ronan?" he asked "Seems like most others are back by now."
