Roch reached the snack tray and grabbed for the punch scooper, intent on fishing out some of the ice left. He only glanced up briefly as he saw Danny heading his way, then looked again. "Yo!" he said cheerfully. "Where'd you disappear to?" Yes, this time she had a perfectly good reason to call him "Stupid Roch" but he'd forgotten as soon as meatball catch had started!

Holly just rolled her eyes during West's exchange back to Levi. They got it, he felt cheated. Wait what? Was he actually going to dance. This would prove interesting. The ghoul was still looking towards West when he spoke about being there with her, he had smiled. She saw it. At least he remembered her dessert. "Thanks." She waited until after West left to speak again. "I'll share if with ya Levi, if you want." Probably make West a bit mad, so worked for everyone.
She grinned at Levi. "Ya, he was the one I was saying before, about messing with too." Walking ... she could do that. "Sounds good to me, he'll find us if he wants to." Which meant he probably would since he was going to the trouble to get dessert. Holly got up to follow her around the room. Levi knew Lizzy? "Lizzy loves making things for people, she's made me a few things too." Like her awesome hoodie. "Yeah, dress is too pretty and, er, open to do things in. Only for the one night at least. Then back to better clothing that ya can do anything in. Right?" Holly grinned.

Taryn watched the whole tumble go by in slow motion. One moment she had finally managed a reaction, but she was only able to reach out and give a little "oh!" Joachim had already taken the table out at that point, though, and all she could do was watch helplessly as the floor was drenched.
That is, until she started laughing.
She didn't mean to, it seemed like a terribly rude and insensitive thing to do, and she tried to stifle it with a hand. It was so silly, though, seeing the lanky boy take the tablecloth down with him and nearly end up in a puddle of punch.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" she peeped, trying to calm herself and not succeeding so much. "Let me go get some napkins--!" It really wasn't nice of her to laugh, but what could she do about it? She dodged through the crowd, heading for the napkins and grabbing a couple handfuls before rushing back to Joachim and trying to pat them down in the spill. She had calmed by the time she returned, although she was still softly smiling.

"Wouldn't really know. Don't really go to them normally," Shun said. He had avoided dances before so this was a relatively new experience for him. Even then for the ones he had attended, he had kept to himself nearly the entire time. No dancing. No mingling whatsoever. So those probably couldn't count all too much.
'Is there anything you'd like to do?" he asked while glancing towards the wolf girl when they were further away from the table.
---
Now back, Jericho glanced from person to person at the table. Two of the others had just left for one reason or another but his focus wasn't on them.
He looked a little lost on what was going on, but for now, he just sneaked on into one of the seats, trying to pretend that he hadn't been running around the auditorium like a maniac just now.

Junko didn't notice Seiji eating all the leftover brains Riley hadn't grabbed. It was probably a good thing or she'd have to excuse herself to go try not to throw up in front of everyone. She loved him, but she wasn't sure she could handle watching him eat bodyparts just yet. Brains especially. Lizzy turned down her plan though and she frowned. Was she okay? She didn't get a chance to ask. Her brain was suddenly full of sparkles, rainbows, and puppies farting sunshine.
Malodore had arrived. Thank Jack. Junko sighed with relief as Riley fluttered to Malodore's side and scooped him up like nothing, sitting down in her chair again even as she heard her name. Riley was talking about her. Why was Riley--oh crap! The candy-coated brains! Malodore was going to be so angry with her! "I'm sorry, Malodore! I didn't know how bad she was about sugar!" Junko was pouting as she sat in her chair, looking a little dejected until she felt a tug on her dress. Huh? Did someone fall? Worse...did someone step on her dress?!
Junko looked down and immediately spotted the little cthulhu. The very cthulhu that she had vowed she was going to punt across the auditorium. He was here...being adorable. "Awwww, Caaaaam...how are you being better behaved than your mistress?" Junko chuckled, lifting the little minipet with her hands under his arms and holding him at arm's length. "Don't you look sharp. Would you like to dance, little guy?"

Even if Sheridan was proving that he'd never really been dancing, he was still doing better than he'd expected, well at the very least he wasn't stepping all over Amphi's feet. As he led her across the dance floor (leading perhaps in the loosest sense of the word), his gaze shifted around the room, searching for familiar faces, and one face in particular, Petro.
Not seeing his friend for the moment, Sheridan turned back to Amphi, A sheepish smile, his tail twitched.
"Do you want to get something to drink?"

"Good," She grinned at Mot before reaching for the hair clips she had used to pin Mot's bangs to the side, and taking them out as gently as they could. She then raffled his bangs so that they would fall over his face again before taking his gloved hand, placing the hair clips on his palm, "See, that wasn't that bad! You need to stay awesome."
Now that that had been dealt with, she looked around for Mac, who had stayed uncharacteristically quiet.
"Excuse me for a while..." She smiled at Mot before getting out of her seat, looking around the auditorium before spotting the boil she was looking for. Brisk walking over, she hugged him from the back, giving him a squeeze before letting go and moving to stand beside him, unaware that he was speaking to someone, "Mac? You alright...?"

Weaving a little through the dancers that dotted the revolving floor, Nuk approached the podium from the front, as he had during the dance competition, albeit a tad more slowly. It seemed the boil either had no idea that there were stairs on each side of the stage, or he just had an issue with climbing stairs. Either way, the skinwalker planted his palms down on the smooth, wooden surface, pushing himself up onto it to climb onto the auditorium stage, straightening up to brush off his vest and slacks before looking around for the mic stand. It was where he had left it, almost in the middle of the stage, and he slid it over in front of him, glancing down at a few black envelopes in his hands, blood-red ribbon tying each closed. He looked up a moment later to look over the crowd, leaning forward to place one hand on the mic, hovering his mouth in front of it.
It seemed Nukpana was going to make an announcement.
"Can I have everyone's attention, please?" He started, his voice booming over the loud music, echoing a little in the room. The slight squeal of the mic being too close to the speakers rang out, but he ignored it, instead looking over towards the DJ booth, "Lights, please?"

Cam nodded it's head fervently, and bent it's knees to jump up into Junko's arms. Oh, softness.

The further from the table they got the calmer Mitsu seemed to get. The heightened emotions and energy wasn't as strong, though things had finally started to settled it seemed anyway. This was definitely something Mitsu would have to learn to deal with if she wanted to try the hanging out again.
"I've never been to an event like this before," Mitsu admitted with a sad smile though it brightened a little to realize she was at an event now. It was a little crazy but still fun. The lupine would definitely remember this night for a very very long time. "It's been a little crazy but still fun." She finally said.
As they came around the auditorium Mitsu paused by the wall looking out over the crowd of students as they mingled, danced, chatted and so on. This was a view she was normally used to having. An outsiders view. She actually preferred the chaos strangely enough. It was lonely over here but at least it gave her a break and enough time to collect her thoughts and put herself back in order before she threw herself back into the fray.
"Do...you think you'll attend something like this again?" Mitsu asked Shun curiously, looking up toward him. Though it seemed like her question would have to wait to be answered as the squeal of the mic picked up making her turn her attention toward the stage.

West raided the dessert table, picking up cookies, cakes, anything he could manage to put on a plate without dropping it. He turned around and glared back across the room, expecting to see Levi acting all sweet and innocent like she wasn't one of the most underhanded smelly cat things in this school. But... they were gone. Where had they run off to so quickly?
He peered around the room, finally spotting the pair making their way around its edge. Checking to make sure all of his confections were secure, West casually strolled back to them, holding out a second, smaller plate for Holly to take. His hand now free, he picked up an adorable little mouse-shaped cake by its licorice tail, twirled it through the air a couple of times, and flung it toward Levi's face. If she had wanted some dessert, she could have some dessert.
Smirking, he turned to give his attention to Nukpana.

It seemed their dance would have to wait! Nuk's voice came up over the speakers and she winced at the squealing, cuddling Cam in her arms like a baby and turning to look up at the stage. She was wary of letting him too close to her chest, but she was at least nice enough to hold him instead of just dropping him.
Onto her foot.
And into the air.
No, no. She'd be nice. He was being cute.

Now that she looked at them, Shun and Mitsu seemed like...a pretty adorable pair, really. Wouldn't it be a pity for her to join them and disrupt their peaceful walk? Smiling, she put up her hands and shook her head at the reaper and werewolf. "I'll just stay here. You two relax, okay?"
Relieved to see that everything seemed to return to normal, she left the table to head to another one instead, specifically one where one the boils she had so rudely disappeared on earlier sat. "Sorry about darting away," Xiu rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "But it's nice to meet you, Demi!" She greeted him with a friendly smile, though it faded after a moment. "Oh, um, excuse me for second!"
She rushed off to the spot where she had left Vaith and Marzena, promptly taking both of their hands. She had been such a terrible date so far, running around and leaving Vaith and her new acquaintance alone, and the Baku felt absolutely terrible about that. So, she did what made the most sense to her, hoping that Demi wouldn't mind more company. "I think you two should come socialize with me!" Without waiting for a reply, she began to drag them along.
Arriving back to Demi's table with the two in tow, she smiled. "Demi, this is my date, Vaith," She introduced, tilting her head towards the reaper, and then tilting her head in the opposite direction "And this is Marzena."
However, before she could say anything else, she was suddenly aware of Nuk's voice echoing through the room. Perking up, she turned to look at the skinwalker, her hands still closed around Vaith's and Marzena's. What was going on?

Ash had wandered her way to the ScreeJay Booth as Nuk had headed towards the stage. It was as empty as she had left it previously - Cady must have wandered off as well at some point. Oh well. When Nuk called to her for the lights the banshee flicked on the spotlight and directed it towards him. To make things a bit easier as well she softly turned down the music until it was only a faint sound in the background. Loud enough for people to register but quiet enough that the other students might realize something was going on and direct their eyes towards Nuk.

Danny was happy minding her own business. Maybe a little lonely, but happy. Roch's voice came ringing in her ears and she was even happier! She had found the stupid boil and they could now get back to dancing.
She turned her head towards the voice and began saying, "There you are Roch, I was wondering where y-" Dead silence followed. Roch was holding punch. He was trying to kill her.
With a screech, Danny backed up sloppily, knocking a platter of spookies off the snack table.
"ROCH GET IT AWAY. JACK WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS." She ducked behind a random boil in the area, and peeked out from behind him at Roch. Honestly, she didn't care how socially awkward she was being. This was her life on the line. Well maybe not her life, but being in a coma for two straight weeks wasn't fun.
Her tail was already instinctively curled around her leg, in a protective manner. It was a good thing her clothes were charmed from fire. "Roch put it down or I swear to Jack, I will never ever be friends with you." If Danny could cry, she would. "Please Roch, please just put it down." Danny was using the word please for Jack's sake. She never said please.
Danny didn't even notice Nuk getting ready to announce something. all she cared about was Roch putting that jackdamn cup of coma down.
