The glitter was getting stuck in Alwine's lace nuck ruff. It was chafing, JOY-filled, and the haunt was resisting every temptation to run to the nearest shelter and pick at her neck stump (as disgusting as that sounded) until it was free of glitter.
"I'm not very familiar with the Monster Dorms, Mandy usually visits me," said Alwine. She paused before waving her arms about worriedly. "I mean, it's not like-- we have tea time and-- oh, dear..."
The haunt brushed some glitter off of her shoulder nervously. "I, ah, someone should lead the way. The sooner we get to the Monster Dorms, the sooner we can get Chuppi her thermos and the sooner we can get out of this snow."
She tromped on ahead, glancing occasionally back at the rest of the crew. Not that they could tell, given that she had no head.

Tsetsiliya was starting to feel pretty cold now that they were out of the theater. Out here, the raining glitter and all the JOY were so stifling. She chewed her lower lip anxiously as Alwine spoke and glanced around, taking note of the barrier visible behind the buildings.
"P-Perhaps Temes or Mandy should," she piped up, blushing. "Since am I not being to the monster dorms yet myself."
However she had been feeling a large amount of concern for poor Temes. The little ghoul had become increasingly more sullen as the evening had marched on, and really, who could have blamed her, after the rudeness of the audience during the play? And now this? Poor Temes.
"W-worry not," she said to the chupacabra. "Perhaps your thermos will be making you more fortified?" The poludnica herself would feel more fortified with a different outfit, but beggars couldn't be choosers.

Mandy cackled slightly as Alwine dug herself into a hole. It was just tea time but still, it was fun to tease. Slinging her arm over her ghoulfriends shoulder she reassured her, "Dont worry I can lead the way just fine. Though, ah, you'll have ti take over when we get there Chuppi. I don't know your dorm number."
Mandy herself was contemplating ducking off to take a bath to get rid of all this glitter snow. It was ruining her costume which was just a shame. Maybe Lizzy would have some tips on removing it.

Chuppi was pretty bitter about relationships so she kept silent as things went on, her face emotionless despite everything she must have been feeling. She was dirty, her quills had wood still attached to them, and now she was with people she barely knew (Pan was okay) marching back to her room so she could stuff her fat face with more blood. That would make her feel better, and maybe then she'd even be rude and ask them all to leave her to her misery.
Maybe she shouldn't have helped try and save the school, maybe she should have just gone home. At least there she'd get abuse that was physical more than emotional. "I will lead, fine." The monster took point and marched through the snow, her small frame making it hard but her girth making a nice path anywhere that had billowed up.
Eventually they made it to the dorms and she strolled over to a very small door.....and she kicked it in. No opening, no unlocking - just a kick in from a strong leg. She looked around at the minipets scattered on the ground in various states of decay, and she looked back over at the others. "Coming in or out? I do not care."

Alwine threaded her fingers in-between Mandy's and beamed as they trooped along. With the Drop Bear next to her, things didn't seem so bad. Plus, it had been a long time since she had seen Tsetsiliya, and Chuppi was an aspiring novelist and a great actress.
Unfortunately, it didn't look like she was acting when she revealed just how unhappy she was.
"Of course I'll come in, if you honestly don't mind," said Alwine. "You have splinters stuck to your quills and I want to make sure that they're removed properly so you don't get a nasty infection. That could make writing difficult for both your novel and schoolwork."
How could one think about schoolwork at a time like this? But Alwine's sudden realization of Chuppi's emotions had made things awkward, to say the least. She tried to comfort, sometimes, and most of the time she botched it up in one way or another. Plus the various corpses of bloodless minipets added on another level of awkward.
So, she decided to bluntly say it: "That play was wasted on a bunch of tactless, manner-less... peppermint-sniffers!"

Tsetsiliya jumped when Temes kicked her own door in, covering her open mouth with her hand. Certainly, the chupacabra had every right to be upset with how today had turned out (since she was not aware of any other underlying drama, only having known the ghoul for so long), and she knew how it felt to have something she had worked hard for go unnoticed. But with the ghoul in such a state, she did not know how to approach the matter. Instead she shifted uncomfortably as Temes entered the room, and followed wordlessly as she took in the surroundings. It seemed as though Alwine was feeling equally awkward, but she had to applaud the haunt in what she had said. Even though she had not been on stage when the drama had erupted in the seats, she had also felt rather insulted at how the student body was acting.
"I-it is not being fair, what happened.. not at all." Then again, things were often never fair. It did not excuse the fact that the student drama had soiled the whole first half of the play. "B-but you were wonderful, Temes, truly." Tsetsiliya mustered a weak smile for her friend. Even if it might not have been the right thing to do at that time, she placed a hand on her shoulder to momentarily make a connection. "N-now, where is your thermos?" She began looking around in the dim light, hoping to spot the familiar red and white she had seen upon the meeting in the quad (and avoid looking at the minipet corpses if she could help it). However she knew not to touch the thermos herself - after all, she herself was not really keen on people touching her things without permission.

There was another important mission happening in the monster dorms. A hulking, horned form traipsed through the halls, growing more and more frustrated. He was hungry. He was drooling. And he found the decor here to be extremely lacking. Last time he ever left home again, that was for sure. The only potentially edible thing that he had discovered appeared to be a piece of a candycane, but it tasted terrible and made his mouth feel bad. Still hungry. And it didn't help that there were stupid tiny creatures standing in his way. "BLUUUUUUUGHHHHHRAAHHH!" he insisted, stomping threateningly in their direction. In his fist was the piece of candycane. It looked distinctly like Chuppi's thermos. YYARGLBAFT THE SMELLY YETITHING HP: 50/50

Mandy wasn't untangling herself from Alwine any time soon so she too entered the ghouls room. She didn't really get Chuppi's foul mood, yes the audience had been a bit sucky and yes there had been other disaster with the play but... it'd still been fun.
Still she put in her two cents to try and cheer her up, "If it helps any I think you where an awesome Cloodia. I had a bunch of fun playing against you."
She then frowned down at the glitter on her, "Too bad Christmas had to interrupt our bow. It'd be nice to finish the play properly."
And then a yeti appeared. It looked kinda shifty
"You lost?"
.....was that Chuppi's thermos?

WAIT WHAT WHY OUTSIDE HER ROOM?!
TERMO?! WHY DID!
Chuppi didn't even listen to Mandy or the others, instead blindly lunging at the THING that had taken her source of comfort. She barely connected with him, but she landed on all fours, ready.
She would have it back. "GIVE ME BACK TERMO! DAMELO!"

Alwine barely sensed the JOY when Chuppi lunged at the thing containing her thermos.
"Ah..." Alwine stammered. "She's had a very bad day, you see. If you wouldn't mind, could you please give her back her thermos?"
She tried to reach for the thermos, but instead did a sort of flail and wobbled over to the side. The glitter of the snow had thrown off her balance, you see. It all had to do with weight on the neck... which is why she would never, ever get a head.

Tsetsiliya barely had time to wheel around when the yeti made its appearance in the hallway. A quick glimpse of red and white in its hand made the ghoul do a double take. Was that Temes' thermos? The chupacabra's angry cry and attack acted as confirmation. She watched the ghoul land on all fours, then Alwine jumped and attacked, only to float past.
She.. she had to do something. Poor Temes.. oh, what had she learned when she'd tried to do training?
"H-Hey!" she called out to the yeti in what she hoped was a confident tone (it really wasn't), her fists balled up. "G-Give to Temes her thermos!" A pause, and when the yeti obviously did not dignify her with a response, her fists trembled and she narrowed her eyes, pale eyebrows forming angry hooks on her brow. Really now, everyone (present company excluded) had been so terrible to poor Temes. She would not stand for it, not at all. "Give it back now! Teraz!" The ghoul sent an angry punch to the yeti's gut, then immediately blanched at what she had done. Was that.. was that her, just now?

Mandy realizing the situation was getting a bit heated moved to set down the box of nutcrackers she had still been carrying when one fell out and was accidentially kicked into the Yeti.
It was a complete and utter accident she swears.

Stupid tiny things were yelling gibberish at him! And they were trying to take his faulty candycane! How rude! The yeti reared back from the punch to his empty stomach, which let out a long, disgusting growl, which warped into the most foul, JOY-filled belch that had ever come from a creature his size. It washed over all of them at once, filling the immediate area with an uncomfortable, humid cloud of... inner yeti gases. HP: 42

When the others joined in(?) to help get back her beloved Termo, it actually made Temes feel a bit better. They wanted her to be happy and now they were showing it with actions, not just words. Actions always spoke louder than words to her and this was a wonderful case of that.
Of course the burp was gross and it hurt her nose, but she charged back anyway and managed to get a decent hit in.

Poor Alwine just happened to be right in the line of fire of the belch. She had lifted her fists to attempt a hit, but the JOY was making her spirit feel foggy. So she simply floated off to the side.
"I feel ill..." she groaned. "That was absolutely disgusting. You're a very rude... Joy-thing."
