Danny Text Meet me in my room? Like ... 3 ish? Ask Roch for directions.
Yes, something was definitely up with Danny, but neither Xiu nor Roch would understand what. She had set up her hexbox and was busy fiddling with the disk in the disk slot, trying to get it to go in. In her excitement, she dropped it once, and picked it up again. Using her tank top she wiped it off, not that that would do any good.
A FEAR stunted Haizum pranced through her room, curious as to what was going on. Danny picked it up and whirled it around, gave it a squeeze then sent it back to the closet. Her friends probably wouldn't like it if there was even more fire in her room. Danny through herself down onto her bed in pure anxiousness. She wanted to just start playing right then and now.
She was waiting though. Or at least trying to.

Roch seemed to be walking just a bit funny, like his pants were too thick, but he ignored that fact as he shoved his hands deeper into his pockets and looked a Xiu with a tiny, tiny little frown.
"You know she's a fire demon, right?" he asked abruptly. "I mean, it's hot in her room. The kind of hot that makes you wish you were in an ice storm just to cool off." And he had no idea why Danny had invited the two of them--at least, it seemed to just be the two of them, no one else had joined them as they headed down the path to the demon dorm.
"Heh, wonder what she's come up with this time," he added, a little grin pulling at his lips as he remembered the skateboard incident.

As they walked, Xiu couldn't help but stare at Roch. There was something...off about the way he was walking. Was she imagining it? ...No, it didn't seem like it. The idea that he may have hurt himself crossed her mind, but just as she was about to open her mouth and ask, the reaper suddenly mentioned their destination.
"Surely...surely it can't be that bad...right?" Before leaving her room that day, the Baku had taken into account that Danny's room--considering that she was, as Roch had said, a flame demon--would probably be a little toasty. As it was, she had already chosen to wear a lighter dress than her usual outfit, and decided to forgo the gloves she always wore. That would be enough, right? Danny's room couldn't be that hot.
As they made their way into the demon dorms, Xiu hummed thoughtfully. Now, which of these rooms was Danny's? She would be terribly embarrassed if she found out that the demoness lived right beside her or something! Beyond a few specific rooms, she wasn't sure who resided in which room in this place.
"...D-danny?"

That was Xiu's voice wasn't it? Danny poked her head out into the hall. There they were! This was so exciting- SO exciting. Danny waved at the twosome and said, "C'mon in."
She took a step or two out of the doorway to wave them in further. Roch was ... walking a little funny. Maybe he'd always been like that? Danny couldn't remember him being like that though. Maybe he fell down on his skateboard or something. Danny recalled he wasn't very good at it.
"I have something to show you guys!" was all she said before darting back into her rooms. Oh Jack dammit. She knew she had forgotten something.
Danny darted around her room blowing out all the candles and grabbed a brand new jacket from her closet. It was only brand new because she had never needed to wear a jacket, but recalling her last encounter with Roch, she figured she might as well take the necessary precautions. She didn't put it on, but layed it on her bed just in case.
Danny looked at the thermostat then thought better of herself. She would only turn it down if they asked her to.
She really hoped they wouldn't ask.

"Last time she turned down the thermostat for me and wound up with this cold," Roch told Xiu as he walked into the room. "Which wouldn't be that big of a deal if she didn't sneeze fire," he said dryly, stopping to the side of the door and reaching up to unzip his vest and drop it on the ground. He kicked off his shoes and reached for his pants zipper.
"This time I came prepared," he said as his pants hit the ground. His black and red swim trunks hung down to his knees (and were new, he still needed to... y'know, learn to swim.) "There we go."

The corners of her lips tugged upwards in a smile when Danny showed herself. Almost shyly--since she didn't really know the other demoness all that well--Xiu raised a hand and offered her a little wave. Hmm, why had she invited them over, anyways? To...talk about club stuff? But why would the president and vice-president of the club want to talk to her--...she hadn't done anything wrong, had she?
Looking a little nervous now, she took a step towards Danny's room and, even before entering, she could feel the heat radiating out towards her. Once she actually crossed the barrier of the doorway, the Baku's eyes widened as she immediately brought up a hand to fan herself. Roch wasn't kidding! She turned to tell him this, and froze.
Xiu wasn't sure what to make of the fact that her friend was stripping. When he went to remove his pants, the ghoul immediately let out a panicked, "ROCH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" before she slapped her hands over her eyes, blindly trying to make her way out of the room. All the while, she was stuttering excuses, like "I-I left something on the stove!" and "I...I just remembered that I had other plans!" This had suddenly gotten terrible awkward, and even if she were to stay...
...She didn't have to strip too, did she?

Danny, on the other hand, didn't think anything of Roch stripping. She was actually rather proud that he had been so resourceful. She wasn't about to blush or drool over Roch's body- he was Roch. That was just gross. "Oooh swim trunks. That's a good idea," she said, nodding her approval.
She was a little flustered when Xiu decided she was going to leave. What she didn't realize was that the mad blush covering Xiu's face was due to Roch stripping. "Wh-where are you going? Is it the heat? I can turn it down!" she said. Danny was scrambling to make Xiu stay- she didn't want to scare off a potential friend just because he room was a tad hot.
Without even saying a word, Danny fled off to the bathroom to turn off all of the fireplaces in the house, as well as the lava fountain in the entry room. She hesitated when it came to the thermostat though. She really didn't want to get sick again.

"Xiu, they're swimming trunks," Roch said a bit blankly. "They're almost down to my knees, sheesh," he said, feeling oddly self conscious now that she was reacting so strongly. "It's not like I'm running around in my boxers! There's less hearts," he added with a slight grin.
Okay, so teasing her was just too easy. "I can strip down to my boxers if you want!" he offered evilly.

Xiu peeked out from between her fingers at Danny's voice, looking a little alarmed as she zipped off to turn things off. Yes, it was rather hot in here, but she didn't want to impose! "N-no, Danny, i-it's okay!" And that wasn't what was bothering her, to say the least! While the heat was uncomfortable, it wasn't the main reason her face had grown a rather bright shade of red.
Roch's teasing did not help matters.
"Don't do it!" She responded immediately, puffing out her cheeks in...what she hoped was the general direction of Roch. Considering that she had closed the gaps between her fingers again, she couldn't see him. "That...that would be indecent! E-especially in a ghoul's room!"
Goodness, her parents would probably outright disown her if she had a half-naked boil in her room.

Danny let out a sigh of relief. At least it wasn't her fault this time.
Instead she walked over to Roch and smacked him on the arm, right below the shoulder. "Don't be such an a*****e," she hissed. She was thoroughly upset that she planned this amazing get together, and he was ruining it for poor Xiu. Danny assumed herself a knight, here to rescue the maiden Xiu from the evil dragon Roch.
After that was through, Danny gently put her hand on Xiu's shoulder and pleaded, "I promise he'll stop. Please stay?" She was bringing out the puppy dog eyes on Xiu.
She had invited Xiu for a very specific purpose actually. While she adored Roch and Moure, Riri and Mot, and all her other boil friends, she ... lacked in the ghoul friend department. She wanted to at least attempt making some ghoul friends at the academy. People who she could do hair and paint nails and talk clothes and ... well do ghoul things with!

"Oww," Roch muttered, rubbing his arm. "I was just teasing her," he added defensively. He pouted for a second before grinning. "So what's up? Are we here to talk about the club or something?" He was thinking extremely innocently for a boil with two super hot ghouls in the same room.
"Hey, maybe we're here to figure out how to work your flute with our guitars, Xiu!" he said. "But you didn't bring it... so that probably doesn't work..." He headed for the nearest place to sit down, dropping down on it and making himself comfortable.

She knew that Roch was just teasing, but she was appreciative of the fact that Danny stepped in. Looking hesitantly at the other ghoul, she knew that she wouldn't be able to refuse the request, especially since Danny was giving her those eyes.
Oh, she was such a pushover.
"I-I, um...okay, I'll stay." So long as no one started taking off any more clothes, she figured that it would be alright. When Roch spoke, she made a very determined effort to tilt her head up so that she could only see him from neck-up. Okay, this...this was a little awkward, but it wasn't too bad!
"O-oh! Was I...was I suppose to bring my flute?" She glanced over towards Danny, frowning thoughtfully, "My room is just a few doors down, actually. I could just go and grab it right now..." It seemed like a logical conclusion to come to, at least. Her flute didn't mesh very well with anything but Mitsu's piano-playing--or at least, she hadn't had a chance to try playing with any other instruments--so perhaps that's what this meeting was about.

Danny gave out a snort of laughter and said, "Guys guys guys. Not everything is about the club!" She began digging through her closet once again, and then came out with three plastic guitars. They looked like children's toys, which they sort of were.
Guitars still in hand, she said, "I got a new game!" Yes, Danny's reasons were that shallow. She got a new video game and wanted to play it with friends. There was no deeper meaning, nor did she intend to have some sort of blackmailing ulterior motive. She just wanted to play some video games.
Looking at the trio, she figured Roch would pick either the red one or the white axe-esque one, but she wasn't about to let him have his way. Danny smiled at Xiu and said, "Which one you want?"
Danny herself preferred the black one, since it was most similar to her own guitar in shape, but she was honestly content to play any of them. Their controls were all the same after all, and they were brand new, so it wasn't like one of the controllers were broken or something.

Roch blinked, then grinned. "It's a guitar playing game?" he asked, suddenly interested. "They make guitar games? Awesome! I want--" He stopped, then shrugged, letting Xiu pick first. Danny'd offered, after all. "Hell, I'll use any of them... but how do you play it, anyway?" he asked.

Oh, so this...wasn't about the club? The Baku blinked with interest, though her eyes widened slightly when Danny brought out the plastic guitars. Wait, those were...for a game?
Uh oh.
Whatever the game was, she didn't think that she would be able to pull it off. It was one thing to play a video game where all she had to do was button mash, but one that involved a guitar and actual skills?
Still, considering how the demoness had been kind enough to invite her over, Xiu thought it would be rude to refuse. It wasn't even that she didn't want to play, rather than the fact she was afraid that she would make a fool of herself. Still, when the guitars were offered, the Baku eyed them shyly before raising a hand to point at the red one. "M-maybe...?"
Now she would just have to figure out how to hold the thing.
