"Everything." Was Amrita's rather heavy and exasperated reply to her friend. Way to be cryptic, Amrita. The longer Lizzy went on, the darker the fleshy side of her face seemed to become. Alone, with her date?! Having a thing for Jericho?! That...That wasn't...just...aaaa....
"I...I don't! I-I mean he's real nice and friendly and helped me and friendly and...I'm going with Charlie I think!" Despite that Jericho was right there the entire time didn't make things any easier, and while she was pretty sure she was going with Charlie (something about having fun and punch and cheese?), she still wasn't too sure what was going on here. All she processed now, was that she was probably going with someone, but had bid on someone else who may or may not go to the dance; and she had a friend who didn't have anyone else to take her. Amrita had only bid on Jericho because she wanted to get him off the stage due to his clear discomfort, but now that she was thinking about it, she had another idea.
Now, Amrita didn't have the brains in this body to consider and carry out devious plans, so it was with pure innocence and concern for her friend when she reached out to tug on Jericho's jacket to ask him a question.
"If...if you do decide to go, could you, um, take Lizzy?" A slight pause. "If...it's not too much trouble...?"

Daisuke looked down at Amrita as she called his name with surprise. He smiled widely and nodded. "I'm good..." His eyes wandered back to the room full of people and then back to Jericho when they were introduced.
"Hey." He greeted the dragon boil, although grown quiet when Amrita and Jericho seemed to be in the heat of conversation over winning him. Did she like him? Ah. Might be a little awkward.
Bella's call for help was right on time as he decided to give the two some space. "Ughh Excuse me for a moment." His smile thinned out weakly looking down at the ghoul. "We should catch up sometime. It's been too long." With a nod, he turned and tried to scope the ruby haired witch out of the crowd of people. After seeing the star of her hat, he made his way over and squeezed past the gathering ghouls until he got to her.
"How did you end up down there?" He chuckled, blinking a little as he offered out his hand to her with a small smile.

Amrita didn't exactly cease to confuse Jericho, and Lizzy wasn't helping a whole lot with that. Looking back and forth between the girls, he soon settled his attention on Amrita when the undead girl asked him if he was alright with taking the demon to the dance.
"Well... you're the one who spent the seeds," he said. He wasn't really keen on any of this, but he figured he had little say in what happened now. And that annoyed him a fair amount in itself.
"If you'd rather have me take her, that's fine I guess. I wouldn't want you to waste your money over nothing."

Oh great, and now Jericho was misunderstanding! This entire time she thought she was being very clear about the whole thing, but apparently she was not; it was starting to get a little frustrating for the small undead. Only starting.
"Nonono you can still not go! Even if you don't, I didn't waste it because now you don't have to go if you don't want to, see? I'm...I'm giving you the choice! 'Cause...'Cause you didn't want to be up there in the first place..." The poor girl seemed flustered, but she was trying to explain it; again, in her own head, but probably for the first real time out loud. "You...You can either stay home or go with Lizzy, it's up to you!" It was a great ultimatum in her mind; either Jericho didn't go and had fun doing whatever Fire Dragon Boils do in their spare time, OR he went to the dance with Lizzy which, to Amrita, was awesome.
"Soooo...it's up to you!" And not up to Lizzy, apparently.

While Jericho appreciated the thought of being bought to get him off the stage, he still felt that Amrita wasted her seeds seeing how she didn't really have anything in mind for him. Thinking over with a frown, he felt more obliged to do something rather than stay home.
"... I guess I'll go," he mumbled.
He didn't like it when he spent seeds on nothing and he could only imagine that others wouldn't like it either.... even if Amrita felt like she wasn't throwing them away here.
"If she wants it that is," he added after glancing at Lizzy. The undead girl had lopped the entire decision on him and he didn't even know if the demon girl wanted to go with anyone in the first place.

"Uh..." While Amrita and Jericho were making some very important decisions regarding her, Lizzy was just staring at the ghoul with an expression that was a mix of shock, worry and happiness. Shock because she just asked Jericho to be her date for the dance without being subtle, worry because she was going with Charlie of all people (she'll have to keep an eye on them every passing second now) and happiness because hey! Amrita was thinking of her!
The thought made her mixed-up expression soften into a smile, and it took a second or two after she was addressed that she actually looked up, still smiling in a dreamy I'll-lost-in-lala land way. When the question finally hit her though, Lizzy blushed - it was a really unconventional way of doing things, yes, but it was a date. Sort of.
"A-ah... Uh," She glanced at Amrita, then at Jericho, then back at Amrita; would she be upset if she said no? Besides, she was sure it would be rude of her to decline since the dragon had been so nice about it... Nodding slowly, she smiled sheepishly, "Why not? It'll be fun!"
Probably.
"Oh, and bring your DS!" She directed this at Jericho, "I read the interweb and it said that there are some Pokeman I can't find in my game, but they're in yours! We need to trade! Something special happens if I get all of them, right?" That was pretty much an assumption on her part, but even if she gets nothing for it, at least she would had 'captured them all'? Besides, he seemed more interested in video games than dancing...

To Jericho, there was a bit of an awkward silence as he waited on Lizzy to answer. She seemed to have zoned out for a moment or so there. It wasn't until she told him to bring his DS that his eyes lit up. Now that sounded more fun than dancing around like a fool. Maybe not everyone that went would end up like that, but he was fairly certain he would if he tried. He had too much pride to humiliate himself like that.
"Nothing really special, but you'll have caught them all so there's that achievement in itself!" he grinned, "Then it's settled then. I'll be sure to bring mine."
Nodding, he was liking this arrangement already. He didn't have to dance, he'd get some new 'mans, and he'd also make Riley happy because he went with a girl. Oh, and Lizzy had someone to go with as well. So, it seemed like complete win of a situation.

She liked the whole 'sense of achievement' thing, even if it was the result of acing a video game. Ah, if only unlife had a restart, save or load button! Then again, this was no time for philosophical thinking!
"I'm glad! I didn't know who else to ask," She nodded, giggling softly, "I'm only halfway or so - at least I think I am, according to the map - through, but I find capturing Pokeman as fun as the battles!" Of course, she wondered how Jericho would react to the names she gave to her Pokeman; hopefully he wouldn't disapprove! She wasn't creative with names, but it was boring to not name her Pokeman! The 'yes' button demanded her to click it!
"Ohh, its a date then!" She grinned at Jericho, although it didn't feel like one now that video games were involved. She liked them (well, those games she know of) but they were not romantic at all!

The dragon couldn't help but cringe a little at it being called a date, though he supposed that was what it was still. In the very least, it had become more bearable to deal with. Trying not to think on that aspect so much, he wondered what sort of Pokeman she had on her team and if there was any particular type that she favored over the others.
"Catching them is half the fun," he agreed, though he really enjoyed the competitive side of the game.
Hesitating for the moment, he added, "So.. I guess I'll see you then?"

If she saw Jericho cringe, she didn't show it. Instead, she just nodded again, still grinning, "Yup!" Part of her wish he could be more initiative since he's the boil, but eh! She's still looking forward to it - well, to the dance, spending time with friends and acquiring more Pokeman.
Turning to Amrita, and as a sort of belated response, Lizzy stroked her chin, "And... You're going with Charlie?" He was... Special. If anything, he might even be more innocent than Amrita, although his knack for getting into trouble without realizing it was amazing - and not in the good way too! She wouldn't help but be worried about him getting Amrita into trouble, and Amrita being Amrita, would just follow...
"He asked you?"

Sin was glad that Barth had arrived it certainly led credit to Christof's story about bidding on her on his behalf. She moved infront of Barth and offered him a small smile cocking her hip and flicking her hair back. "Hello Barth, congratulations! Christof has done a splendid job bidding on your behalf you know. You've been very generous to the charity, and I promise it'll be worth it."

(Rown has given me and Halie permission to MINDCONTROL take over the gnome so the auction ends before the party tomorrow. XD SO PAY THE HELL ATTENTION.) The MC tapped his mic rather loudly, clearly unhappy about the fact that all of his lovely ladies were about to be ripped away from him. Who would keep him warm in his DJ Booth now?! He was eyeing the newest batch, but the only one that caught his eye was the pretty flat chested girl with headwings. That was a girl, wasn't it? Shame about the lack of assets, though. "All right kids, it's our last stop of the night - prepare to let it all ride, because we're bringing EIGHT candidates up on stage for you to throw your seeds at in one giant final explosion of love! But first, let's have a nice round of applause for our last round's meat, who have all been bought out!"The lovely werelemur Natalia has been stolen away from me by Whisper!
Mei-Xiu has been ripped from my grip by Natalia - threeway?! AWYEAH.
Chuppi has been won by Tybalt!
Tset is now Westus' - don't taze her brah!
Sepheran has been won by Lizzy!
Aksaja is now Yaya's! "Next up, I announce our LAST EIGHT VICTIMS OF THE NIGHT! Stay tuned! And somebody come keep me company..."

(Again, please note that the front page will NOT BE UPDATED since I am not Rown. Derp. So just bid using the information in this post as current.)
"Now that I've got all your attention, I'd like to mention that tips ARE BEING ACCEPTED for my DJ services this night! And I don't just mean pumpkin seeds, lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllladies!"
That bit of classiness out of the way, the final eight auctionees were escorted brusquely up on stage.
First up, we've got the boil that's ready to make you scream his name - in disgust. Let's hear some bids for Icky!
Next is a rather fetching young thing, here's hoping no one bids on her because I'd rather take her home myse- what?
A guy? You sure? You're not? THEN WHY'RE YOU BUGGIN' ME ABOUT IT! Quit your foolin' kids, that cutie's none other than the lovely siren Israfel!
She puts the itch in Witch, and I'd like to give it a scratch. Now taking bids on Belladonna!
You ladies lookin' for an impressive snake this evening? Look no further, we've got you covered. Let's hear some bids on Gabrian!
Hey, this pretty ghoul's already got a threeway going. You'd be a fool to miss out on the chance to bid on Whisper!
Keep all arms and legs away from the hat, if you're ready to bid on the charming Coralie!
Yes, ladies. That's a ball of snot. Admit your desire for Unstabul!
Last but certainly not least, here's your chance to bid on Ilztmyr'ree!
"... WELL? GET YOUR FINGERS OUT OF YOUR NOSES AND GET TO BIDDIN' ALREADY!!"

The last of the auctionees being shuffled off the stage for the newest (and final) eight, Tsetsiliya too made to leave the stage, still clutching Sepheran's jacket to her shoulders. As she started off, she took steadying breaths and slowly felt the world right itself again (or even itself out, she should say). One glance down showed her that their normal toothpick legs were replacing the voluptuous ones of her middle form. That was a relief.
"T-thank you," she said, turning to Sepheran and offering his jacket back to him. With that done, she finally moved off the stage, scanning the crowd for the person who had bid on her. That was rather nerve-wracking - who could have bid on her? And why? Her idle fingers played with the hem of her dress, and she found the rip she had heard earlier - luckily it was rather small and showed nothing inconvenient (as long as she kept calm and didn't have a repeat incident, anyway).
At last, Tsetsiliya spotted Westus' head over the others, and she swallowed nervously. He looked so.. fierce! So intimidating! Why in Jack's name did he pick her?
Still, he had bid, and as his prize she had to go over to him and figure out something to do. Would he even want to go to the dance with her? This and other questions raced through her mind, her legs moving equally quickly to catch up. To her surprise, she was standing at West's side before she could fully realize it.. or be prepared for it.
"A-ah, uhm.." Her eyes fell to her hands, which began fiddling with her chain belt. "T-thank you f-f-for your bidding."

Coralie was late, she knew, but hey, she'd come just in time for her bid so that was all that mattered right? When she had thought this auction would be interesting, well, she had been right. The dress they'd given her alone was a bit of an eyebrow raiser. The colors clashed horribly with her hair, which was a pretty loud color in itself. She wasn't sure she was much of a zebra stripe ghoul either, but hey, she'd do anything once. Yes, even wear odd dresses and put herself up for bid.
When she arrived she shrugged as a gnome very earnestly dragged her onto the stage so she wouldn't be too late. Once there, with 7 other students no less, she raised her brows and then started looking curiously at those both in the crowd and on stage next to her. She didn't actually know those on stage personally, so she was quick to look out instead. There she spotted some familiar faces from Truth or Dare, Natalia, LW, Ren, and some others. What made her brows go so far up as to disappear under her hat (which yes, they had insisted she wear despite the fact that he was currently spitting country bumpkin profanities) was that Morton was there. She hid a bit of a sly grin, curious to see what he was up to. Did Morty have his eye on a special ghoul, hmm? She couldn't wait to see who it was.
