Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu sat in her chair as silent as a perma-dead church mouse, eyes wide and mouth slightly a gap. She had no idea what was going on. People were being pulled under the table, there was yelling to flee, the dragon and mindflayer had both run off in a spazzing fit and....Mot had tentacles.

"A...a FEARdisease?" Mitsu's jaw almost dropped until she heard Junko explain and Shun clarify. Thank god for that. But really. What in the name of Sally was going on? "S..shun?" She questioned turning toward the reaper. Her brain was going into mental processing overload being overstimulated from all the noise and action. Too much...too much.

"No, it wasn't." Mot murmured to Seiji, slouching in his chair. Mot O'Boyle did not whimper! Never!

He looked down as his hand was taken by Lizzy. Oh no. Was she going to cry? Not on his watch! "Ah ha, don't worry yourself, Lizzy." He was going to try and say something more, but Shun's mood distracted him, and Riley's....face and offer...

She was looking at his face.

. . .

He just didn't even know what to do anymore. Mot stared the mindflayer down. "Not hungry."

"I'm quite settled, thank you." Junko told Shun as he hissed at them, being surprisingly honest. See? She was settled in her chair. She wasn't going anywhere. She was just fine! In fact she was watching Riley with narrowed eyes as he offered Mot part of a brain she'd been eating. The gesture was nice enough, but poor Mot looked...shaken.

And now Lizzy was about to cry. Crapcrapcrap.

"Lizzy~!" Junko suddenly grinned and stood up from her seat, taking Lizzy's hands in both of hers and tugging her out of her seat. Her eyes were wide and she was smiling. Clearly, Junko had an idea. She leaned in close, still holding Lizzy's hands.

Shut up. She's not making out with Lizzy. She's whispering in her ear.

"You should ask Riley to dance, we'll all take turns dancing with her until the sugar high crashes." She whispered conspiratorially to the pink-haired ghoul. It was a brilliant idea! Nothing could go wrong! Nothing at all!

Aw geez, what was going on over there?! Mot had a new set of tentacles (that he didn't seem very happy about), Junko looked upset, Lizzy seemed like she was about to cry...

"Excuse me for a second." She smiled apologetically towards Roch and Demi before making a hasty escape, weaving through the crowd until she reached the table. Her attention immediately moved to Mitsu, who seemed...distressed? The Baku wasn't sure, but she reached down to rest a hand on the other ghoul's shoulder. "Mitsu, are you alright? What is going on?" The second question was directed to Shun, and she jerked her head in the direction of Riley and Mot.

She had never seen Riley act like this before. It was a little scary but..

The little Baku couldn't help but stifle a giggle. At least someone was getting enjoyment out of Riley's sugar high.

Damien had no idea what the punk boil was up to when he brought over a ghoul he couldn't recall meeting before.

But at least he could appreciate some sympathy and concern, it was very well received. "I think i'll be fine like ol' Rochy says, just need to rest I suppose." he said in a much more timid voice that the other boil wasn't used to. Xiu seemed like a pretty alright ghoul to the hound, which made him feel much more at ease around the new person and not trying to hide under the table like he used to do.

"I'm Damien, it's nice to meet you Xiu." he tried to give her a bow like a proper gentleboil would, but the pain in his chest stopped him short before pressing a hand onto the sore spot to ease the sharp pain that flared up.

"Its ok Xiu, like Roch says, you have a date, but I hope that if theres any pictures of me in there, i can get a copy from you in the future." he said with a smile before waving her goodbye towards her date.

It did do what Roch wanted the meet and greet to do, distract Demi from his previous question. Was he sure he asked a question before?

The hound hobbled along with the reaper toward a table that would hopefully treat him nicer as he sat down with a wince, giving an apologetic look to the boil. "Yeah, this is fine, I'm so sorry to tear you away from all the festivities."

The music changed on it's own, and they danced together. Not many words were passed between the two of them, there wasn't much that needed to be said. They were enjoying themselves and each other as they danced separate from everyone else. As the beat shifted from slow, to fast, to faster they had stepped up their own pace or slowed it down accordingly. It was quite a while before Nuk finally guided her back to where they'd first run into each other. The ghostling couldn't help a delighted sound as he wrapped his large, firm hands around her waist and lifted her effortlessly to sit on one of the tables.

She frowned to hear he had to leave her, but quickly shrugged it off, reaching out to lightly brush a stray hank of hair out of his eyes. "I've had you long enough and I guess I have a responsibility I should get back to myself. Thank you for the dances."

Why was Lizzy upset? Mitsu had missed something in all the going ons and even Mot seemed a little off. SWEET JACK! If Mitsu could have had spirals for eyes she would have. When Xui walked up to the lupine to ask if everything was okay Mitsu quickly reached out for the girl fingers gripping her arms.

"I..I don't know. J-j-jericho and Riley went screaming but Riley came back and Mot had tentacles but he really d-didn't, Lizzy looks upset, there's yelling, candied brains...." She sounded panicked as she tried to compile her thoughts, the noise the speakers were making wasn't helping.
