As Cady stepped down off the stage she searched the crowd furtively. She didn't really want to join in on the all-too-spotlighted dance, especially not with her deeply embarassing date. She was FAIRLY sure he'd meant well, but... Instead, she looked for someone else - somewhat of a more hunchback'd persuasion. After all, dancing with him hadn't been bad at all! And she wasn't sure how long his talking ability would last - and she had so many questions. There! She tapped Christof on the shoulder, grinning cheerfully. She might not make this song, but maybe the next? Hopefully by then the spotlights would be whisked away. "Would you like to get in one more dance? Because, you know, I don't think we do much dancing in school right? And you're such a good partner!" Of course, she only had the rather explorative Deacon to compare to. "Plus I um, I think I have to dance, to keep this hat." After all, the other hat recipients were.

Well then! That was it, right? No? It seemed the court must dance! Mot turned to Levi, knowing how she felt about dancing, being ghouly in front of others. "Don't get cold feet on me now, ghouly." He smiled, taking her hand and walking to an open space. Whether she liked it or not, she was dancing with him. The song choice was odd, but he'd make it work. Mot led his princess into a waltz.  He leaned in a bit as he dipped her down, an honest grin on his face. "To be honest all this attention is a bit embarressing." He continued the waltz after letting her back up, until the song changed. . . . Dark! He grinned a devil's grin. "Don't leave just yet. I am having way too much fun." There had to be some kind of awesome dance that could go with this, right? "Unless you're too chicken to keep it up?"

Astra went to join Cat, a small drink in her hand from the refreshments table as the other two came over to say hello. Although Jove wasn't looking so nervous anymore, he still seemed a little off judging by the way he walked. "Hey jove, how are you enjoying the prom? You look so dashing in your suit!" She beamed, then looked towards Tomoko who looked Just as adorable as jove did. "Hello!" she greeted her. "Whats your name? I'm astra" Her date seemed to be just as happy to meet them as well, but she was unable to say anything to him yet as the music had died down and nuk came on stage to announce the various winners of the night, including..riley and malodore! "HOORAY RILEY!" She couldn't help it, she began to jump up and down in exuberation for her friends who had won Pron pumpkin king and queen! "HOORAY MALODORE!" She was careful thought to not step or trip over her dress. Once the award ceremony was done, she glanced over at cat again but now he seemed...well she wasn't quite sure. She seemed a little confused, but didn't want to ask

As usual, she allowed the boil to lead; despite everything that had happened over the past few weeks, she still trusted Mac. It didn't matter to her that they weren't exactly dancing to the song, since their timing was off. It was the experience, really - she liked dancing with him. Even more so now that he no longer flinched at her touch. She tilted her head, looking up at him as he posed a question to her.
"Ah... Uh..."
It was a good question. How did she feel about that?
She glanced to the side, at the spotlight now shining on the Prom court members. Mot seemed to be leading Levi into some sort of a waltz, which was rather fun to watch; those two were great dancers!
"Honestly? I'm a little... Uh, disappointed?" She smiled sheepishly, looking away for a bit before looking at Mac again, "I don't feel like I came as his date... We've only danced once or twice together, while he did a whole show with Levi. I enjoyed that a lot, but... I don't know... I feel a little upset? Is that normal? I'm honestly not surprised they got as many votes as they did though! I'm genuinely happy for both of them."
She remained silent for a bit before chuckling weakly, her grip on Mac's hand tightening a little as she looked down briefly, "I can rather petty, huh...?" She was also referring to the Jericho-fiasco a while back, which was an incident that she had only told Mac... Mainly because he didn't gave her a choice.
As the music changed to something else, something darker and kind of heavy, she tilted her head, giving her friend a small grin, "Do you still want to continue dancing?" She was going to let him decide.

Cat's ear flicked.
Ew. Was that...electric guitar? Was that metal? His ears flattened back in disgust at the growling vocals rumbling across the speakers, eyes blinking out of existence to try and shut out the noise. But while his eyes were closed he found something strange beginning to happen. His foot began to tap to the slow, steady beat. His tail began to sway back and forth absently, followed shortly by his hips and shoulders. Well, he knew a dance for this rhythm, and his body certainly wanted to go along.
"...would you care to dance?" He ventured, offering a hand to Astra politely.

The music began to change to a different tune, and astra's antenna twitched and moved as she listened to this new song. It...wasn't exactly to her tastes. She was used to music that was slightly more upbeat, but it didn't mean she couldn't listen to something to a more darker melody. So when Cat asked her if she would like to dance, she grinned mischievously, doing little curtsy and placing her hand in his. "I would be delighted to!" Although...she wasn't exactly sure how to dance to this song, she would try her best.

Hoping very much the ghoul knew the dance, and how to follow, Cat began to lead Astra into a slow, smooth, swaying dance.
It was apparent he knew what he was doing, and he expression held no flicker of uncertainty once he had begun. The forest had been a quiet place, and dancing seemed to come naturally once he had spied the moves being performed in town. He had studied, yes, in all the books and online videos he could find.
This dance in particular, he got to practice just once...with an old friend. His eyes flickered up to the Screejay booth as he bought the fae around in a long step, though it was empty.[slow waltz]

Dancing wasn't a foreign concept to the fairy, whom had seen few parties and gatherings in her time. Back at home they were somewhat common place, although the dancing there was wild and fun. You didn't go around with a set sort of moves, you just did what you felt like, which usually involved lots of flying, somersaults and a little flute playing to boot.
Astra concentrated on following her partners steps, sometimes twirling around and other times letting herself be lead by Cat all the while trying to stay in tune with the song itself. From the looks of things Astra appeared to be doing quite well in keeping up with the ghost boils precise movements.

Christof had settled to watch the dancers from the side wall, lurking in the shadows as he smiled at his Mistress and her lover. He wasn't surprised one bit. This was why he loved her, after all- how easily she had the school wrapped around her clawed finger. All the more reason she should have been acting with more grace than a sugar-bloated tentacle crawling on the floor like a crazed hog, but... well, at least that grace and poise had returned. He jumped with surprise as Cady came trotting towards him, her new hat jingling the whole way. For a moment he looked like a hallow-deer in headlights, but that was soon replaced by an embarrassed flush. "Er... congradulathonth, Mith... um... b-but what about your date?" He managed. "Er... I mean... that ith... I thuppothe... if he doethn't mind... It's um. A wery nithe hat?" His voice cracked anxiously.

At the reveal of the Prom King and queen, it was safe to say that the hound was not surprised by its chosen ones as he raised his glass to them. "Cheers Riley and Malodore." as long as the doc didn't start talking about cups again, Damien thought all was going well. He greeted Xiu with a smile that equaled hers when she got back looking pleased as punch over her new shots. "Well I'm glad to hear that." he beamed back before taking a sip of the punch that was in there. He was however pulled into the Baku's photography again after seeing a certain pose caught on film and the blush rose on his cheeks in an instant. That dance move looked A LOT more different from this angle. "Oh my Jack." was all he could breathe out while staring at the picture before falling into a fit of laughter, even if every chuckle caused a bit of pain to his chest. "Charming dance eh? well, that's one way to put it!." he said in between laughs. If Xiu had a shot of what Bul did afterwards he would not know if he'd explode from embarrassment, or drag the boil over to see it. "So, what do you plan on doing with the photos now?"

Humming gently along with the now heavier blare of music Hadiyya wove her way through the dancing crowd on the edge the circle that formed to allow the prom court to dance. she wasn't entirely sure what she was looking for, perhaps West, perhaps another. A friend she could inquire about a dance or even conversation should the opportunity presents itself. She wasn't going to be picky, nor did she think she really had the sense of mind to attempt it. The ghoul was high on the atmosphere, blissfully happy from the combined collective energies of her peers around her and the lovely time she had so far been having in the arms of her date. She giggled rather unexpectedly before laughing softly to herself, shoulders rolling fluidly in time to the beat as she moved across the floor. And then she saw it, a point of glowing brightness, or three to be exact, framed by flawless black. "It couldn't be." He wouldn't have come, it was entirely not his sort of scene, more so against the situation then Westus(though unless she was much mistaken, she thought she had seen him dancing with Holly. Goodness.). Doubtfully she made her way towards the boil, for whoever it was was most assuredly male. Brows dipping thoughtfully as the answer become more and more clear with every soft tap of her heels against the floor. "Johan?" There was no denying that milky complexion and shock of white hair, but somehow she still couldn't quite believe what she was seeing. "My goodness, if it isn't the very last person I expected to see tonight." She smiled, chuckling softly ans she slide up beside him, carefully not touching. "It's a pleasant surprise, at least."

Altair paused with Eris in his arms to watch the crowning of the Prom Court, rolling his eyes upward a little at some of the mentions, but clapping nonetheless, and stepping aside so that the couples could dance. As the music started, his golden eyes flicked up towards the skinwalker, smirking as an idea suddenly struck him. He turned to the Horseman at his side, giving her a squeeze. "I'll be right back, love, there's something I have to do," he purred, winking at her before he released her, moving off through the crowd to intercept Nuk as he stepped off of the stage. Before he could protest, he grabbed him by the waist and yanked him towards the dance floor, positioning his hands so that clearly he meant Nuk to take the female role. "Come on, Nuk, let's show these bitches how to dance," he spun, smirking at him. "Besides, I know you've been dying to be in my arms all night."

"...Oh!" Amrita leaned past Charlie to see Christof. If Nuk's words rang true than Prom was dwindling down, and if THAT was true? Well, she was a ghoul on a mission. She had missed her opportunity to dance with her Hunchback friend at Scarentines and after blocking out the incident that happened as a direct result, she was damned determined to dance with him this time around! "Charlie! I'll be right back, okay? I promise!" Giving her 'special friend' a quick hug, she moved away and through the crowd, standing to the side between Cady and Christof.
"Um...S-sorry to, uh, in...interrupt, but..." Oh jack, Amrita hadn't noticed that he was talking to another ghoul! Awwwww this made things a lot harder! The small, rotting child bowed her half-skull face to look at her heels, her toes fidgeting behind her. "Um...C-could I dance with you, Christof...?" She murmured to the boil, glancing up sheepishly at him...and then turned to the ghoul he was with.
"I-If you don't mind...? I, um, didn't get a chance to at Scarentines and...and I really want to..." She prattled, hoping it would help her case. Come on, Amrita! You can do this, just remember the things Riley taught you!
----
Mac listened to her while they danced, changing it up by adding a spin here, a long side step there. She kept up pretty well for a dance that didn't have a name! He hadn't expected her to be anything other than disappointed, really; he'd been watching them whether he liked it or not, and it made sense.
"Naw, that makes sense." He assured her. "They did put on a good show but you're right." She was right of course, that it seemed like she wasn't even his date...which, to be honest, worked out for him now that the little situation earlier had been cleared up. "It's not petty, it's a ghoul thing." He assured her in a murmur with a light shrug. Ghouls felt differently about things than boils do, that was always obvious. Petty was his overwhelming urge to punch Mot after Lizzy gave him a kiss on the cheek. THAT was petty, and that was something he didn't really want to tell her. So for now, she'd just have to take his word for it. "You're not petty."
"Mmm...Nah. I'm starving, I haven't eaten anything all day." Releasing her cool hands, he pat his stomach and then jerked a thumb towards the food table with the same hand. That being done, he took her shoulders, turned her away from him, and gave her a light push back to the table. "Go cut in and get your date to dance with you." His emphasis wasn't to be rude or snarky; just, she was Mot's date, she should dance with Mot more.
That didn't mean that he hadto be happy about it, though.

She clapped as the prom court announcements were made, and then as he spoke Arachne nodded, a flush on her cheeks as she took his hand. She looked into his eyes and led him onto the dance floor, weaving through the couples, dancing, talking, laughing.
It was true that she had wanted to see who Lizzy had come with, maybe even catch up with Sin if she had come, but she could see them around school as well, and this was their date; hers and Sepheran's.
She allowed him to twirl her around, moving to the music, hoping that there would be a slower song for them to have a close dance to before the end of Prom.
