She'd been... completely ignored. Well maybe not ignored, perhaps overlooked. That was it. The other two ghouls were joking and talking and flirting with Nuk so casually. For just the most brief of moments the banshee was pushed back from the front by the others, her expression falling into one of loss. These ghouls were older... they'd probably known him longer, too.
She brushed everything off, chin lifting as she turned back to the roulette wheel. A look of determination set itself firmly as she took up the ball and spun the wheel. Aislin wouldn't let someone else steal all of Nuk's attention. If this was a challenge then she'd accept. She'd win those chips. And she'd present herself to him to slip those little black and white pieces of plastic into place as well.
She gave the wheel a spin and rolled the ball, watching intently.

Nuk glanced over at Riley with a mildly bewildered look on his face, watching her eyes cloud over as she thought before blinking in surprise, a look of absolute mortification crossing his face. SIX? Why would ANY boils want to go with him, much less SIX. SIX meant boils obviously thought he was into dudes, and while he was... kinda flattered that six guys would want to go with him... NO HOMO. NO. HOMO. Sitting straight up in his chair, he slammed his palm onto the table in front of Riley, as if demanding her attention. "WHAT? No way, shut up Riley, don't lie to me," he half exclaimed, his voice starting to calm into complete denial by the end. The look of annoyance, however, was passed to Junko as she suggested a bunny rabbit, scrunching up his nose in a look of 'you must be joking,' before leaning back in his chair, scowling.
"Riley's just tryin' to rile me up, there are NOT six boils who wanna go with me. Not 6 boils. That's just terrible."

So of course it didn't do anything. Falling deeper into a mood she spun the wheel again and gave the ball another toss. She refused to look over towards the others. She watched as the ball rolled and bounced and made it's way to a number.

Nothing. No matter how hard she tried to will that stupid little bouncing ball to fall into a winning number it just wouldn't do it. With a little sound of irritation she spun the wheel hard... probably a bit too hard, to be honest, and chucked the ball at it. For a second it seemed as though the little white orb would go pinging off but it instead bounced wildly a few moments before settling on a number

Riley's head tilted slowly, all the way to one side, as he disputed her claim. It was difficult for Riley to lie, and say that she was not a liar, but she wasn't lieing this particular time, and therefore took a bit of offense.
She lifted her hand, and began listing off the boils who she figured would be interested, in no particular order.
Aksaja, Calder, Sharra, Deacon, Altair.. And here she paused, as if the last one was a little iffy. And you would be surprised, Barth is actually very nonchalant about who he escorts to dances such as these. I'm sure, under the right circumstances..

Junko squeaked as Nuk slapped the table, jumping a little. Geh! He was not happy with Riley's joke. She'd never seen him react to teasing like that before, though. Weird. She couldn't even think of one boil who'd want to--oh, wait. Yes she could. She shuddered at the thought, not wanting to think about Altair macking on Nuk. Eugh. At the look he gave her Junko smiled and shrugged. Of course she was kidding..but now he was annoyed. That was bad. "I'm sorry, Nuk." The temptation to say 'maybe there's more than six!' was shoved away. That would be just mean. "Can't spell Riley without rile~?" She looked from Nuk to Riley and back again with a hopeful smile. Eh? Eh? She was clever, right? She totally was.
But then Riley gave the list and Junko just stared at her. "...Deacon likes boils?" The rest didn't surprise her. Not even Barth. Just Deacon.
She heard the roulette wheel turning again and looked over to see who was trying it, noticing it was...was...a banshee? Uncertainty washed over Junko's face for just a moment before she forced it away, instead giving her a smile and clapping a bit. "You can do it! I failed eleven times, but I did get it eventually!" Okay, so maybe that wasn't quite the vote of confidence one wanted but hey! She was trying!

Of course... a loosing number. This was it. The Last Spin. Her last chance to be able to get Nuk to slip one of those chips into her bra. Eyes opened into glowing slits as she glared at the wheel. Taking the ball up in her hand she rolled it between her fingers a few moments, hoping to infuse it with any luck that might have been left in her being. She hoped she hadn't used it all up in the other booth games.
Aislin took a calming breath and spun the wheel, letting her ball drop. As the ball spun around the outside of the wheel, waiting to falter and hop into it's number she realized someone was... cheering for her? The banshee's grim expression of determination dissolved into a charming sharp-toothed grin in thanks for the encouragement.
And then her eyes were back on the wheel. Long fingers secretly crossed.

Nuk's expression blanched further and further as Riley began to count off the boils on her fingers, his face paling and then heating up til there was a slightly reddish overtone to the dark skin on his cheeks, although it was hard to tell whether it was from embarrassment or from anger. It was safe to assume, however, that it was the former -- sitting up again, he grabbed Riley's fingers as if that would stop her counting, resting his elbows on the table and hanging his head as if to hide his face.
"Ok ok, I get it..."
Groaning a little, the skinwalker let go of her hands and straightened back up, resting his chin in his palm and narrowed his eyes at Riley, sulking a bit. "Although you know, some of those aren't fair. Deacon would take me 'cause we're bros. Altair is an INCUBUS he FEEDS off emotion, that doesn't count." He paused, thinking through the list again, and looked especially huffy as he remembered she'd suggested Calder, scowling, "And Calder would NOT." He couldn't speak for the others -- he'd only barely met any of them. Junko's comment, however, had him thinking, and his expression smoothed over as he glanced at her, thinking about it for a second before making a face. "I don't think Deacon's into dudes... but I dunno," He replied thoughtfully. It didn't seem like he cared, though -- although he could be heard saying 'no homo' about fifty times a day, it didn't seem like it applied to other boils as much as he just fervently denied it himself.
At any rate, he had the perfect moment for redemption. Across the booth, he could see Ash spinning the wheel, her own irritation with it's shenanigans clear on her face. Immediately his own brightened -- flirting with a ghoul would definitely counter-balance the talk of him going to Prom with a boil. Crooking his finger at her, he grinned, lifting his voice a bit so she could hear him.
"Hey Ash, c'mere!"
Oh he was so polite~

Riley's distracted counting had her blinking in surprise as Nukpana grabbed her fingers, and she looked at them, before looking at him innocently. She was only proving herself right - the most important thing in this world, after all.
Which reminded her of one, particular exception she'd forgotten.
Even though Nukpana had moved on to another topic (and another ghoul), Riley was still bent on simply winning an argument. So, instead, she spoke to Junko - though her thoughts were as public and easy to hear as ever.
I believe Deacon is open minded about the topic. I have never asked him. Though, I realize I have forgotten a seventh option.
Oh, no.
Technically, if one were to consider me a boil, which anatomically speaking could be considered, I would take Nukpana to the prom as well.

Oh, wow. Nuk was really angry. Junko frowned at Riley, twirling a bit of her hair around her finger. "I don't think Nuk is finding this as funny as you are, Riley." She was nervous of opposing the mindflayer when it was clear she was having fun, since the last time she stood up against anyone for anything ended just...wonderfully...but this was Nuk! He seemed genuinely upset. She didn't like seeing her friends upset. "Besides, he has a date waiting already." Duh. Junko frowned. He did plan on going with Shehk, right? This was just all in jest. He...he had to go with Shehk. He just had to! She was so clearly hoping for it! She could see it on the pricolici's face!
And then Riley said something to her that really threw her off.
Junko visibly paused. Anatomically...speaking? Now, this ghoul was very sheltered and naive. Incredibly so. In fact she referred to certain parts of the body as 'ghoul parts' and 'boil parts' because she was just too shy and embarrassed to say what they really were! But that was it. Ghouls had one thing and boils had another. Riley? Riley was female. She...she had breasts and she...
Anatomically speaking? Junko's hair hung limp, staring dumbfounded up at Riley. "I don't..understand...you mean..but...but boils have...." She frowned. "And ghouls...but...but you...! What?"
The ghoul you are trying to contact is currently unavailable. Please hang up, and try again.

It was hard to tell whether Nuk was flattered or ********. He wasn't quite sure himself, although he did find himself staring at Riley, most notably at her crotch, looking like he might just call bullshit on this one. It certainly threw a wrench in his previous daydream, at any rate, but in the end his eyes migrated back up to her face, and he shook his head at her as if denying that she could in any way be a boil, his eyes flicking back down a few times to stare at her boobs, the chips nestled quite snugly between them. For the most part, he only pretended to be a simple-minded boil, finding that playing the dumb part making life so much easier than if people knew he was smarter than he looked, but at this point he was as hopelessly confused as he looked. Junko, too, seemed to be surprised by this new information, her own look almost mirroring his own, leaving all in Riley's company completely baffled. In the end, however, he seemed to disregard it, whether because he couldn't process it or otherwise.
"Sure, whatever. Like you'd take me to Prom anyway Riley, we both know you yourself have far too many suitors for that. And not all of them dudes themselves," he replied, grinning at THAT particularly nice thought. He was such a boil sometimes.
He had completely ignored Junko's comment on him having a date.

Junko wasn't the only one trying to understand what Riley meant by "considering her as a boil", while also trying to junko as a shield just encase Nuk decided toe explode again. As far as Astra was concerned, Riley looked and acted like a ghoul, so she must be a ghoul, right?
Although, when she thought of mal who apparently wasn't either, she guess that one could be considered both at the same time..although she didn't understand how the whole thing worked, she decided to just focus on spinning the wheel again

Junko's reaction was plain to be seen on her face. She wasn't taking this news well. Riley decided it wasn't worth breaking the poor ghoul, and patted her gently on the shoulder. Nevermind, Junko. I'm just teasing.
It was, after all, easy enough for Nukpana to refute the claim after getting a good look at her. Her shorts weren't really the kind that left that sort of thing to the imagination. However, Riley's teasing was at an end, and she seemed preoccupied with something else entirely.
Nukpana's response disturbed her. Her brow crumpled, furrowing in thought, and she fell silent. Something about the way he said it seemed to upset her, but she made no audible reply. She fell into the quiet rhythm of watching people roll the roulette wheel, while her mind churned in thought.

Awww, that was a really close roll too. Looking at riley she seemed to be more interested in watching people roll now, and junko still seemed out of it, so she continued spinning the wheel meanwhile keeping an eye on nuk just incase he was gonna do somethign again.

Hmm, she didn't seem to be doing so well this time. She must have used up all her luck beforehand. Frowning, Astra gave the wheel another good spin. Third time would be a charm, right?
