Welcome to Gaia! ::

There were things Junko had taken into consideration when picking out her prom dress. Did it fit the theme? Yes. Was it pretty? Oh, yes. Definitely. Did it fit? Of course. Was she comfortable? For the most part, yes. And did it stand out? Yes, it did.

But then there were things she did not take into consideration. Could Seiji find something to match? It was difficult, so she'd informed him it wouldn't be the end of the world if he didn't match.

More importantly.

Could she walk in it?

"You're an idiot." The Mistress chuckled, Her voice muffled by Junko's tightly braided hair. The ghoul blushed behind her mask.

"Quiet, you." She huffed, shuffling away from the refreshment table after making sure for the millionth time that everything was okay and in order and no one had tampered with the punch. She's watching you, gnomes. She's got her eye on you. Her next move was to find Jericho, putting a gentle hand on the dragon's shoulder and smiling up at him. "Are you okay, Jericho? You look tense~."

Asshat....she just called him....asshat. Titus couldn't suppress his burst of laughter. "I'm so glad I can inspire you to say such crude things, Wingnut. Believe me I wont let you forget it."

"Oh and look, Soul Herder has his little doggie companion. Maybe she'll be good for you and fetch you a...." And Titus was suddenly cut off as Riyo began her onslaught of childish complements. It was very prossible the demon looked a little green around his mask. The baby talk only added the cherry on top and Titus' eye began to twitch. But this was what he was trying to work on. This was specifically why he had come to this Prom...other than to make a few people cry.

Taking a deep breath Titus tried to take the verbal abuse like a man. He steeled his expression, the most epic of poker faces suddenly in place. With his free arm he reached around a patted Riyo on the head. "Tt....thanks." Oh he wanted to vomit. "I...think I need a drink." A with Riyo tightly attached to his arm the demon made his way over to the refreshment table. The added weight was not going to stop him.

"Ah, Shun!" Mitsu lightly swatted at his hand until he stopped flipping the bird. "Don't be mean." She huffed placing her hands on her hips and puffing her cheeks like she had seen Xiu do. She wasn't sure what she thought about Shun encouraging Xiu to say terrible things but she was relieved to see the demon moving away from the group. There were quite a few people had hadn't met before and Mitsu was eager to greet them. She...just wasn't sure where to start and instead waved at anyone who noticed her.

Oh dear..he was referring to himself in plural form already? Junko had kind of hoped with the planning process over he could relax, but having so many students and horsemen around..in masks was probably more stressful for him than anything. She did feel bad...but on the bright side at least everyone was easy to identify even with the masks? Hopefully.. "Oh...okay. Don't forget to enjoy yourself too, okay? This night's for everyone~. Even us!" She grinned, eyes wide behind her mask. "We worked really hard for this!" Junko gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before releasing him.

"Wanna dance later when you're feeling more comfortable?" Junko offered cheerfully, still smiling. Yes, she was still stressed, but it wouldn't do to let it show and then worry everyone else. That wasn't fair to anyone, even herself. She wanted to have fun tonight too!

Oh, this was precious. He put on his poker face. The pat on the head? A cherry on top of an already delicious revenge sundae. Riyo's ears folded back as she received her congratulatory pat, a proud smile cracking through the malicious one. Obviously not an end to the night. Just the round.

"That was fun." Riyo admitted as they walked towards the refreshments. "Now I see why you get your kicks bullying people. The reactions are priceless." Though his was all she was really paying attention to. "Grats on getting Xiu to curse, by the way." It was quite a feat. She knew the baku had to say something remotely vulgar at some point in time. EVENTUALLY.

Once at the refreshment table Titus merely lingered. He didn't often put himself through the torture of eating and drinking but decided to make a reason for coming over and grabbed a cup...and put nothing in it. Yes, this made it look like he had an excuse to leave.

"Yes, quite." Titus said almost tersely staring down into his empty cup before looking to Riyo. At least she was enjoying herself but he wasn't sure that he liked it at his expense. He couldn't help but smile at the complement on Xiu. "Yes, who knew Wingnut had it in her. If I had the ability I would have shed a tear for the occasion."

Tilting the cup this way and that Titus focused on Riyo. "Don't think this is over though. I'm going to work on this...little issue I have and you'll be sad to find your words will eventually not have the same effect." He hoped.

"Ah, yes, of course," Fai said, pulling the simple slip of black from his robes again and tying it around his face. From a distance it caused him to look as if he had only the bottom half of his face. From closer it looked as if he was blind folded. Both facts amused him.

"Funny", stated Heidla. "Can you actually see anything in that? And don't let your flowers eat the thing's corners", she wondered about the edible qualities of the mask and the weird tastes of Fai's flowers. "I got mine, too".

She pulled out a mask covered with strange patterns. Well, that was her first try at it, after all. "So, what are we expected to do now?"

She noticed the familiar figure of the kelpie she knew, but was not quite sure whether she was right and also, whether she should greet him or let him greet her. Balls were so unpredictable, after all!



She turned back to her ball partner. "Anything in particular you fancy doing?"
