Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ulmuka was still on his break but with prom approaching fast he still had some errancds he needed to run in order to make everything perfect. He'd been leaving the harder tasks for last, the ones he was unsure about, and now he'd put it off long enough.

The strix needed some help, some of the female persuasion, to give him some advice on things. His random mind immediately went to one of the ghoulier students and he still had her card in the pocket of a suit somewhere.

He'd texted her ahead to meet him if she didn't mind.



It came through in seperate texts because he wasn't very good with the character count thing.

When she arrived to meet him he was there with a long black hearse, a luxury vehicle, and his driver waited by the door to open it for them.

"Yes! Good afternoon, Miss Lizzy." He bowed politely, "You look well. I am sorry if this seems odd," the strix giggled, "but I needed a feminine opinion for prom shopping. The particular topic is not a strong one."

He shuffled a moment, eyes blinking unevenly as he grinned. "Would you help me pick out flowers for my date? Her name is Needle, do you know her?"

He bowed again as he asked her to accompany him.

"Oh wonderful!" The driver opened the door for Lizzy and Muka waited for her to enter the luxury vehicle before he got in himself. It was roomy and comfortable and clearly the strix came from money.

"I haven't met Lattice yet. I have spoken with Petro though, her prom date." He grinned. "I think we will be getting a couples photo together!" He seemed just as excited for prom as Lizzy was. "I've gotten the clothing tailored, arranged for pictures, ordered the car.. oh it's all very exciting isn't it?!"

He'd discovered he had a knack for planning and he actually enjoyed it.

"I've been to parties and dances before outside of school." Muka bobbled his head. "I also went to Scarentines but I got punched." He giggled as if it were not a big thing really. Thankfully the drive was short and they were left in a strip of stores on the street by the maul. A glass windowed flower shop was their destination, the sign embellished black and gold script, Withering Heights.

Thankfully the small talk had made the ride easy and when Muka emerged from the car he offered his hand for Lizzy with his usual grin. "Petro and I have coordinated a bit so we will be socializing together at the prom. I think the ghouls will like that!" Muka's head bobbled.

"Who are you going with?" He was unaware of her dating status or who her friends were.

Muka had also been pretty.... mixed up... at the Scarentine's Dance but his punching had come way before that. "Oh I gave Amrita a hug and her boilfriend.. Christof? He punched me. I think I was knocked out for a few minutes.." He giggled and touched his eye in memory of the black eye he had sported.

Muka offered his arm for Lizzy, as he did for all ghouls, and then held the door of the flower shop open for her. Her gushing about her boilfriend was very endearing. Her blush was obvious and he couldn't help but be a bit envious of her surge of emotion. As he progressed into adulthood he felt himself lacking in the emotional area. With others so tied up by feelings, he often wondered what it was like!

"He sounds very handsome!" He chuckled. "Do not be embarassed. It's nice you can so openly express caring for him!" Muka giggled as the smell of flowers permeated even his poor sense of smell.

"Well that's the problem!" Muka giggled and moved towards some large flowers, black with orange centers. He leaned in to smell but then shrugged. "I don't know the differences between them and.. well.. I don't have much of a sense of smell!"

The strix never paid much attention to things like flowers. As a boil they weren't exactly necessary to know about and whenever flowers had been in their home, they simply appeared one day and were gone before they could make a mess. The house staff managed those things.

"I was hoping for a .. hmm.. feminine opinion!" He hissed out a giggle. "We are wearing blueish.. and I am hoping to accent the bouquet with some of my feathers." His eyes were wide and set on her this time. "Needle has expressed interest in them. She likes them."
