Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shun tilted his head at what Mitsu had to say. Ok, he could understand that. It wasn't what was normally done.

"True," he nodded before listening to the music.

"A little later. We could grab something light for now," he said. He wasn't sure if he was quite ready for dancing yet. It.. wasn't entirely his thing still. So he was going to need a little bit of coaxing. Granted, he did plan on dancing with her this evening. Just not quite yet.

The Reaper's attention was shifted as a certain Vampire came on in to bother Xiu.

"... Great," he grumbled. Who had let this douche in? Another one he was going to need to keep an eye on.

"I'm not quite hungry yet either. But.. are there those you would like to speak with right now?" he asked while looking around. There were a few more people about. He noticed that there was no sign of Hel or Mot yet. Granted, considering what happened, he wasn't sure if they would be coming to this event.

Nuru gestured at Zar with a hand and beamed a smile at Jove, "No need tah be so scared, this is mah boilfriend, Zah~"

He jerked the poor demon about like arm candy. Furious, glaring, unhappy arm candy. Arm candy, nonetheless, "Whatcha doin way back hea' Jove?"

"I try once in a while," she moved her mask up a bit revealing her purple eyes in full winking at Junko as she struck a few poses that revealed her boots as she tugged the dress up eeeeever so slightly to show them off.

"Blame Siddie, and a little bit of me knowing how fussy you get when I don't dress proper for this stuff." Suddenly a gloved bone hand was reaching out to Junko, "Punch or a dance, you're choice. Siddie isn't here and I plan to fully exploit this night to dance and make a complete and utter fool of myself and I refuse to do that alone."

"It's the cloak, isn't it?" Jericho asked while looking himself over. He did have a rather fancy cloak on right now. Shehk was right though. He didn't really know what she was referencing. But they sounded like vampire names. Vampires usually dressed fancy right?

As if answering his mental inquiry, he spotted an unfamiliar vampire across the room.. who was definitely dressing fancy.

"Ah it's alright. We can get an idea of what you might be talking about."

Zar was extremely unimpressed at being shown off like a rather fancy hat.

His tail flicked all the more aggressively, giving Nuru a sidelong look, slitted eyes narrowed. Manners however won out and with a shallow "why me?" sigh, he nodded to Jove.

"Greetings."

It was as though the concern from both parties struck a nerve. Jove frowned stubbornly and puffed out his chest, trying to make it very clear he wasn't scared, and he was just as at home in this frivolous dance atmosphere as everyone else. Even though it was mostly just puppy bravado.

A nod to Clyde and a serious stare directed at Nuru communicated his false confidence. Being in a dark corner didn't have to be hiding, it could just be... scoping out the area! Not that he could see much through the crowd, even with the heeled boots he was lucky to reach shoulder height on most highschool students.

Jove glanced up at the demon again, almost to see if they were all buying his bluff.

"Psh, eating and drinking is a wasted effort." The demon threw the empty cup aside though regarded Riyo with interest when she mentioned being hopeful for spiked punch. "Well, you couldn't act any weirder I would have to..."

The sudden arrival of another ghoul left Titus confused, staring after Junko as she came and left in the blink of an eye. The fact that she was still staring had Titus making faces. 8| That mostly read 'What? What? You want some of this?'

It was only the sound of his charming new nickname that drew Titus back to his 'date' staring at the ghoul with a frown. "Good luck with that, Princess." Titus hissed looming almost uncomfortably close to the ghoul. "With an older sister there's not much I can't tolerate." He didn't want to admit to all the forced dress up games and being made to play house. That s**t was just embarrassing.

"If you're not hungry I can wait," Mitsu said in response. As far as who to talk to she scanned the crowd. She couldn't help that her eyes spotted Xiu and the vampire she had seen at the Trials. His name was Lou wasn't it?

Looking to Shun she made her way over to Xiu, the noise reaper, and the vampire. "Is...everything okay?" She asked seeing Xiu trying to hide.

[ENTERING WITH NEEDLE]

Ulmuka and Needle had already had a bit of an exciting night. There had been fancy escort vehicles, flowers given, a trip to Muka's family estate, fancy pictures for a small crowd, and some hob-knobbing with his family. The strix was all grins and very pleased with how smoothly everything had gone, especially since he'd planned and arranged it all himself.

"We are here." He had the Engraver on his arm, clad in a white tuxedo with blue accents and a sparkling mask over his wide eyes. Both of them matched, their outfits seemingly custom tailored. What many didn't know was that Muka had dished out the money for their clothes to be completely dyed with ink, embellishments hand done by a team of seamstresses. He'd gone all out and it was very him to so casually throw money around. "I hope all that wasn't too much for you!" He giggled to his date.
