Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cat smirked. Oh how he loved to smirk. There were so many little ones now (regardless of his own height, of course) that he felt the gleefuly overwhelming urge to ask a riddle of the three. Quickly he glanced over his shoulder to make sure his date had reached the refreshments table, before turning his full attention back on the cluster of adorable faces.

"It's such a pleasure to meet you. A pleasure to meet you all~" He cooed in tones that suggested they were both adorable toddlers and delicious meals. "I am The Cat. You may just call me Cat, if you like."

He would have continued on as his mind sorted through for a suitable riddle, when suddenly the music dropped out to a faint hum. Was something going on? Near-obediently, Cat turned his little glowing eyes up to the stage.

Taryn was crouched on the floor in a very unladylike position when she heard the mic squeal back to life. Her attention was immediately drawn up toward a boil she did not recognize who seemed to have something very important to say. He sounded official enough for her to pay attention, punch soaking through the napkin she still had pressed under her hand.

At least she laughed, well she and Merel were that caused this feeling in the bottom of his stomach to churn into something that left a bad taste in his mouth. Joachim knew this was going to happen he knew as soon as he made an attempt to do something he was bound to screw up somewhere along the way.

Luckily Taryn had more sense than him and got a few napkins to help clean up the mess all over the place. That was better than his idea of using his coat, or at least that was the only idea he could come up with at the lost moment. He got on his knees to help his date clean up his own stupidity as a voice over the speakers asked for everyone's attention. Joachim didn't bother to look instead he just listened as he continued to clean up the mess.

Malodore patted lightly at Riley's cheek with one hand. "There, there," it soothed.

Roch went pattering away to go look for ice which left time for the hound to asses his damage, he really hoped there wasn't a rib broken, that would just not work. he frowned as he felt around his stomach gingerly to check, but it went away as he found all his ribs in their rightful place and not trying to bust out of his chest to say hello to people.

He was swift enough to look up and spot the ghoul he just met a little while ago swiftly walking up to him again. OH jack, he really hoped he wasn't about to get slapped for some reason as his worries went away by her friendly greeting again that made the hound want to wag his currently crushed tail that was pressed up against his seat.

"Oh its no problem at all Xiu!" he said with a little wave of his hand toward her as she came back with a few people on her arms and introduced them to himself. It was indeed more people and he could feel the tiny spark of panic in his head again but focused more on his new acquaintances.

"Why good evening Vaith!" he gave the ghoul's date a head bow as his stomach twinged in its painful protest. "And to you too as well Marzena, I'm Damien and the boil over by the punch bowl is Roch who's been keeping me company." he indicated to the boil with the wave of his hand before settling it back onto the table. "Do forgive me i'f i cannot bow to you all right now, i took a rather painful spill earlier and find the movement a bit painful to do." he said apologetically to them.

"How has the prom been treating you all? please, sit down with me." he said gesturing to the many seats at the table before his attention was distracted by the skinwalker up on the stage.

He could have sighed with relief as well, at least over the fact that she wasn't ready to run screaming away from him from the complete lack of personal space he'd offered during that attempt to dance. Well, not so much attempt. It had been pretty bad a**, if he were to say so himself, until Cady freaked out.

What followed, however left Deacon the one to look uncomfortable. His own jaw dropped open as he witnessed his date unhinge her jaw and shove nearly her entire damned arm down her throat.

Any part of him that would have found that hot was screaming inside when he belatedly realized just how many teeth she really did have. "Th-thats... Ah... Pretty cool, Cady." At least she hadn't bitten him in retaliation. "Yeah. Uh. Eating students seems to be something that only the staff is allowed to do..."

When questioned on his own abilities, he stared blankly.

I can turn into a little cat that you could probably swallow whole.

"Nope. Can't say that I've got any awesome abilities." The earth manipulation that he did know wouldn't exactly work indoors. At least, not without potentially breaking things. He was sure that wouldn't bode well, and he didn't yet know how to repair floors.

It was actually a welcome interruption for Nuk to call over the speakers from the stage. Deacon turned his direction to the skinwalker, waiting for the announcement of who the prom court would be.

He laughed aloud when Cady had won Jester, grinning in amusement as the manticore was quick to defend herself. "Not the dance, don't worry..." But, she was already on her way up to the stage.

At least she was excited about being crowned the Jester. Deacon applauded for her.
