Hinata stepped back to inspect all the work she'd done. She was in her full formalwear, a pearly white empire-waisted dress with matching heels and extravagant sleeves. She'd even jazzed it up with pearl jewelry, silver bangles and a tiara. Overall she felt she looked nice after decorating the entire dance hall to match what she had envisioned. Charmed snow fell from the mosiacs, that'd been altered to look like snow faires sprinkling the condensed dew downward onto the ballroom. The statues had been animated to hold up giant bouquets of snow flowers and white, baby blue, and lavender bolts of silk. The buffet table was fully stocked with delicacies appropriate for all races and decorated with melt-resistant ice sculptures and flower arrangements. A stage had been set up for a local band that was comprised of both demons and angels, (Former comrades of hers), and the area around it was open and when appropriate, would be lit by blue and white lights and the ever important disco ball. It wasn't too cheesy, but just enough to still register in the "school dance" category.

Dane walked into the room, looking around in slight awe at the decorations. With enchanted snow falling everywhere, he realized black might not have been the best of choices of colors. From his sleeves, a stiff tail shot from the sides of each cuff, a decorative line moving up the arms, and creating a scythe-like design on his arms. from his front pocket hung a Bleeding Heart blossom, name so for obvious reasons. Dane: this place looks absolutely marvelous, Hina.

"Really?!" Hinata aked with wide pale eyes, desperate for more compliments. "You wouldn't believe how stubborn the statues were to animate! They kept dropping the silk on me and laughing.... Those things are heavy!" she said, glaring and shaking her fist at some giggling statues. "The ceiling mosaic was no piece of cake, either. I had to make snoy fairies from MEMORY... You know how great my memory is.... I ran to the library and got a reference book to be accurate... I had to re-do the whole thing! I got ice and snow fairies jumbled... Such a rookie mistake" she groaned, pointing at a corner of the beautiful image. "I kept that ice faerie out of spite for myself" she said, pinching the bridge of her nose. Upon really taking her image in her hair was mussed, her face was flushed, and she was shiny from a sheen of sweat.

Dane smiled warmly, pulling a handkerchief from his back pocket, wiping the sweat from Hina's brow and forehead.
Dane: I still think it looks beautiful. Much better than I, or anyone else in this school, really, could do. Let's just hope the dance goes as beautifully as the room it's in.

"I'm not holding out any hope considering our luck" Hinata said with a laugh. "Still... We should get pictures while it's still pretty" she said. She snapped her fingers and the snow stopped sticking to the ground. "oops..." she blushed.

It was too late. Dane was already a**-to-the-ground. He was laughing, though.
Dane: That might be a good idea. The term "get down" shouldn't be taken so literally.
He smirked, standing back up, and silencing Hinata's embarrassment, yet probably not helping her blush, with a gentle kiss to the lips.

Hinata couldn't stop laughing at him. "Y-You... Your face!!!" she howled with laughter, clutching her stomach and crying mirthful tears. "P-priceless!!!".

Dane pouted, poking her on the nose.
Dane: See? I knew I'd make you feel less nervous.

Kai had arrived at the school on a good night. There was to be a dance tonight or so he had heard. He stepped into the dance hall wearing his usual long black coat with the white tunic-like shirt underneath. He folded his wings neatly behind him and looked about the room. It was beautifuly decorated and quite large.
The young demon checked his watch. He didn't want to stay up too late, he was supposed classes the next day and didn't want to be late.
((Kai is not yet on the character list?????))

Sheraton went all out for this occasion, he did like to dress up and seeing as how he wanted to set an impression on his date Sheraton put on his Dress Cloths and takeing off his glasses he seemed to be abit younger. His elequent cape flowwed behind him as he made his way towards the ballroom and looked around, he looked very much like a Prince, of darkness that is. Hachi's advice on being Dark and Dangerous was apperent in this choice of wardrobe.

Kai's ears twitched at the sound of footsteps. He looked around. There were three other people in the room besides himself. Some one had to know where he could find his friend.

Bender entered the large room, his head instantly looking up at the enormous ceiling.
"Wow..."
He muttered, looking down at the dancers. Surprisingly, his outfit was just as formal as theirs, proving the rouge angel could clean up nicely. However, his get up had an extra addition, a mask.
"Da** it, Hachi said this was a masked ball! Oh well..."
He prefered being in costume, that way no one would be able to definatly say they saw him at a dance. Having to take his friend dancing was embarassing enough. He leaned against the wall, adjusting the mask on his face, waiting for Hachi.

Hachi arrived soon after, still fretting over the skirt of the dress Hinata had lent her. The dress was a canary yellow color that brought out her eyes in the most flattering ways. It layered around her legs with a flirtatios slit at the front exposing flashes of her legs. The dress was boatnecked at the top, drooping below her collarbone to expose her neck adorned with some of the beautiful gold jewelry that she'd excavated and refinished with Lucas. It dripped around her throat in elagant loops of gold, the matching earings doing much the same framing her face. She'd been forced to pull almost all of her bangs back and the hair was held neatly in place by gold combs. Overall she looked more like she was about to win an Oscar than attend a school dance. She noticed Byron and hid a laugh behind her hand. "I didn't think you'd actually fall for that!" she said, taking the corsage he offered her and placing it on her wrist without waiting for ritual. The lilies in the arrangement went well with her dress and she plucked one of the flowers that was falling out of the arrangement and set it in her hair. "Thanks" she said with a smile.
"Hachi!" Bradley called from accross the room. 'Finally a familiar face' she thought to herself as she hiked up the black tulle skirt of her own dress. It was a simple corset top with a billowing skirt, but her accessories stole the show. Dangling black skull earrings, several strands of black costume jewelry including a choker with a skull that matched her earrings. Her hair was down for the most part, the top layer pulled back into a bun that was held in place by a spiderweb shaped comb and two black picks. Even her gloves, spiderweb fishnet, were extravagant. "I stick out like a sore thumb. Can I cling to you until my date arrives?" she pleaded.
Hachi looked over at Byron before shrugging and nodding, giving her friend's dress a close look. "Nice dress... I like the webbing" she commented.
"Really? Oh God, you should've seen the looks I was getting on my way here, I thought someone was going to point at me and accuse me of being a witch! I was ready to go through the same thing the poor Salem girls did!" she fretted and laughed nervously. "I like your dress too... Not for me, but it makes you look like a goddess!" she cooed.
"I can't get used to the slit at the front. I'm terrified my shoes will catch on the skirt and I'll faceplant" she muttered. "Still, thanks for the compliment... And don't worry, I'll mind melt anyone who tries to mess with you" she assured Bradley.
"In exchange I'll do my best to keep you from falling" Bradley said with a laugh. "So, have you seen my date? Is he even coming? UGH! Why'd I agree to this?! I'm stressed already!!!" Bradley moaned.
"Because you are in severe need of your own romantic life so you'll stay out of those of others. Thanks to you I knocked out Ryuk twice AND Byron fell through a roof" she groused.
"Nag, nag, nag... Somebody had to step in" Bradley shot back.

Leon: Bradley! Hey, Brad!
Leon came walking up, wearing a pure white suit. As he came closer, however, the color faded to yellow, then to green, then blue, purple, black, red, orange, and back to yellow.
Leon: I thought you wanted me to pick you up at the cafe. I went all the way down there before I realized we were just gonna meet here.
He laughed nervously, scratching his head. He turned just in time to see Ryuk walk in with his date, Folium. Ryuk was dresses in a suit identical to his brother's, but a contrasting shade of white. Folium, although not technically wearing anything, was wrapped in a beautiful gown. Large volumes of red rose petals seemingly appeared out of nowhere and slid down her body, creating a dazzling dress as they disappeared a foot off the ground. On the race occasion the rose petals parted, gold-leafed vines covered her from any indecency. But only just. The Vines only covered the most private of parts. The vines, however, spiraled down her arms, creating a pair of half-sleeves/gloves. Her hair was pinned with maple leaf clips, but she wore no shoes.
Unfortunately, the cute couple were arm in arm, but in such a way that'd make one who didn't know any better think that they both had The Plague.
