Welcome to Gaia! ::

In the midst of his sullen glaring, he felt a soft kiss against his cheek. It was difficult to maintain his appropriate level of angst and unhappiness when Efflo was so close, and looked so damn beautiful. Somehow, he managed, though his eyes unfocused before softening when they looked at him. A roll of his eyes followed the inevitable wrapping of his arm around Efflo's waist, pulling him hard against his side.

"You're going to ruin my reputation." Gabby growled, finally letting a smirk escape. His fingers caught Efflo's chin, and pulled him up for a proper kiss, if only to hide the way the boil always made him smile, no matter where they were. A proper, long, uninhibited kiss.

Then he pulled away, and held Efflo's arm up. Apparently the kiss had been a distraction, while his hand had been frosting up a trio of bloomed roses made of ice that wrapped around Efflo's arm. A corsage. Sort of.

"It won't last." He warned the boil, disentangling himself before he started to forget they were in public. "So don't get near anything too warm for a while." That was just an excuse to keep Efflo in his corner of ice, wasn't it?

As if he needed one.

Revitalized by the boil's presence, Gabby turned and began to ice up the walls afresh, lengthening the space of wall covered by ice.

Not only beautiful but but nice! This night was getting better and better! It was nice to know that she wasn't the only one new to this type of party. Aureole did wonder what a 'Pyre Festival' looked like. Sounded fun!

"I've been to one of the other events the school hosted but I haven't been to a festival before. My father has hosted different gatherings but nothing this big." Aureole tilted her head back and looked around and up at the decorations before grinning towards Ashanti.

"Good to know I'm not the only one new to this sort of party. It's huge, right?" Aureole just really couldn't get over how big the parties here were!

"And the food isn't too bad, as I can see you've already tried." How could she pass up a chance to comment on the frosting upon the dragoness's face.

But, as it would seem, after Aureole had grabbed her own cupcake to taste, something came and knocked her in the back of the head, sending her face right into the frosting of the cupcake.

She stood frozen for a moment with her face still in the sugary spread before slowly lifting it, blinking a few times to try and see past the frosting. Aureole couldn't help herself. She laughed. Not giggle but full-on laughed. Most would have tried to look and see what caused such a catastrophe but Aureole couldn't help but think what a classic case of kharma it was!

"Haha! We match now!"

Of course Lou would see her out of all creeple in the crowd. Of course he would make a beeline over to her and Tanvir and hit every single nerve button she had. Piggy pig? Butch? Did he just call her butch??

The only reason she did not pummel his a** into the ground was due to recalling Deacon getting sent to the principals office, and she was not about to get sent there just cause of this vampire pain in the a**. So she would have to call on every sense of patience she ha-

"THE ******** DID YOU JUST CALL HIM?!" She shouted at Lou with a clenched fist, exposing her sharp teeth in a threatening snarl. "Lou you have about three seconds to get out of my face..."

The dragon continued to glare, glancing around for a way to escape. Nearby she saw Xiu chatting to a group of friends, and as awesome as it would be to chat to her she wasn't about to burden her with lou. Another check of the scenery revealed a lonely looking cat who was looking very familiar, and very pouty.

"...The heck - LOU! TOPLESS CHICK!" She pointed the opposite way before she grabbed Tanvir's arm and hauled their asses outta there

What followed was some fantastic manoeuvres which included hiding behind the DJ, in amongst the dancing couples, until she dragged herself and Tanvir underneath a table, crawling around until she was crouching right next to Riyo.

"Sup?"

Ruth had forgotten just how expressive eyes could be. Brows too. But she was making the most of it as those sparkle-filled baby blues of hers widened and her brows rose in wonder. She clapped her hands first to her mouth then to her chest before continuing (still in that odd falsetto) "Does that make me a Princess?"

Hope shone in her eyes and the sparkles seemed to multiply to blinding proportions as she stared at Brenley and Ignatius. The Violet was having the time of her life because this is it, this must be it! "Oh but don't stop dancing for my sake! You two seem to be enjoying your date."

Hector just shrugged, unconcerned before smirking, "Someone said something about punch?"

D-dance? Lute looked to the floor and paled, not many people were actually dancing yet. That would be super embarrassing if they were spotlighted! Rosy eyes hit the floor and she fidgeted clinging tighter to Ayane. Lute did want to dance though so for a moment she struggled to come up with an answer. "U-um...maybe..maybe we can dance-e.." She offered looking up with an uncomfortable gaze and adding, "m-maybe off to the side?"



"Heh..alright." A glance to the food told him that his ex wasn't around. More importantly the sweep of eyes had him noticing a rather punked out ghoul. A familiar one, Verusha , the ghoul he played arcade games with way back when. She was cool very in Zaire's book and while they weren't super friendly they had, had a good time. So with a squeeze to his boilfriends arm he smiled and gave a little tug in her direction. "On second thought...there is someone I want to say hi to..." His lazy tone had a slight purr to it as he lead Jory over to where Verusha was rocking out alone.

"Verusha ...where's your pup?" He called to her a little teasingly as they approached, pausing a respectable distance and waiting to see if she recognized him from their maul play time.

Uru gave the green-eyed boil a brief pat on the shoulder - a silent indication that he was briefly leaving his side. The demon maneuvered through the crowd, getting bumped, elbowed, stepped on, and such which he growled back in kind. Before long he found himself near the Horseman in question with a less grumpy expression the ancient was probably more familiar with. Dressed in a strapping outfit. Probably not as extravagant as his formal wear, but it would do what he was going for; the Moderate Sized Wolf and the Red Clad Human.

"I didn't think you'd be here, Qui." He said, briefly flinching after had said so. Why wouldn't Qui be here? He was a free individual to do as he pleased. If Qui wanted to come to the Prom, he could certainly do that. Many students came here on their own. It was okay to do so. "I want you to meet someone."

Ayane smiled down to her fidgeting ghoulfriend and she nodded. "Off to the side is fine, we don't have to be out where everyone can see us." Personally, Ayane just wanted to say she'd come here with Lute and show her ghoulfriend a good time. There would be other occasions, other events to expand her social network and start currying favor and contacts with other creatures. But tonight was Lute's night.

Besides, she'd never really had a good chance to dance with her ghoulfriend - no real excuse to, so she might as well get what she could now. She slowly lead Lute through the crowd, trying to find a somewhat reasonable spot for them to dance and not be in the way of anyone. Once she found a place to her liking, she stopped and smiled at Lute.

"Will here work?"
