[DANCE HALL] MAIN DANCE THREAD

[Azure Desiderium]

"Need some fresh air?" There was no judgment in the words. Kalden, coming from a more mountainous region of the universe, was accustomed to wide open spaces. He could see how the smaller boil might feel cramped. "Well, then lets do both, why don't we? We can get a drink and then go outside." His smile was wide and easy, revealing a slight flash of fang.

"And I would be honored if you want to play a game or two with me." The very fact that the timid gryfon had suggested it certainly was a blatant hint that the pale boil did, indeed, want to participate. The lion curled his elbow around his friend's arm so that he could properly escort him towards their intended beverage.

Kalden had to concentrate rather intensely on making sure that he didn't float too high off of the ground. The last thing that he wanted to do was alienate Hymn in any way. In truth, the lion was delighted to see a familiar face, and one that he had been particularly keen on seeing, at that.

long silver hair tipped in teal, and a lion's ears and tail.

Nodding in silence, Hymn dug his heels in and gave Kalden an exasperated glance, attempting to keep him grounded so he wasn't sent careening into the air, as well.

He knew how to fly.

But his friend was just a slightly malfunctioning, disembodied roomba dressed in a knight's attire.

The gryfon snorted as they finally made their way to the punch bowl, and he disentangled himself before reaching out to pour his own cup, not allowing Kalden to even start to baby him.

Quote:

Hymn is a white gryfon with lots of fur, having grown up in the cold -- he is very sheltered and shy, so anything new or unknown makes him break down and unable to cope.

In short, Hymn is a crybaby.

"Being noticed, obviously." Just saying it was enough to make him flush, though, very still under her touch -- his chin raised just a smidge so he could look down at her sideways. He didn't melt at the touch. Instead it seemed to make him that much more awkward and uncertain. "And all the things that come after being noticed."

Kalden laughed softly, but it was entirely at his own expense, and he ran teal claws through his own bangs. The smaller boil's own indignance towards, well, almost everything, wasn't a slight to the lion. He appreciated the huffy little gryfon for who and what he was, without all the messy context of his family background.

Noting that Hymn had, rather literally, beaten him to the punch, he let the other boil have use of his arms once more, and the feline helped himself to a cup of the stuff. "So are you just here for prom?" He inquired, canting his head towards the pale boil, an easy smile on the lion's features. "It's been a while since I've seen you, but I don't get down out of the mountains often." Another sound of mirth escaped, "At least when my mum's looking."

Eliza the friendly ghost
Unsure how to respond to both the drink offer, much less the conclusive impact of the rising temperature Eliza attempted to give equal attention to the new boy and Doyle.
Flowers were friendly weren't they...?
What did he mean by calling the other guy Elizabeth?!
But how to respond from here...?
Remembering being so overwhelmed at a previous venue she didn't realize someone had spiked the punch!
What happened next...
The recollection and conflicting emotions must have made the shy specter look momentarily dazed but as she came out from her mental fog, she was able to recover her voice.
"Are any of y'all going to go out for extra-curriculum activities this Fall...?"
Perhaps hoping to find other interests in common?
Or keep conversation going.
Making another corsage... hoping the gesture was still perceived as nice.
She didn't want to hurt any feelings.

Kier’s ears twitched as she leaned in a little closer to hear what Lute had to say not entirely catching it as well as she hoped too. It didn’t bother her but Kier felt a little guilty that not listening to every word her date had to say, even more when she couldn’t quite respond to it like she wanted to.

When she spoke again Kier heard it completely that time, giving a wide grin of her own as she followed Lute towards the dance crowd. It took only a moment but Kier caught up to her and with adept swiftness scooped the ghoul up in her arms leading her into some sort of dance that resembled a waltz step while giggling a little. It was simple but quick enough that Lute wouldn’t see the crowd too closely as they looped around in circles. “Dancing would be great.”

Joachim turned as soon as he heard the familiar voice, Merel of course gave a snort of disapproval as if she had hoped the boil wouldn’t ever show up when it came down to it. There was a moment, maybe nothing more than a second, that the boil stared at his date almost unaware of the flush that filled his cheeks before quickly coughing and giving a brushing motion of his hand.

“It’s fine, you at least made it before I left.” Joachim tugged at the edge of the jacket he was wearing doing his best to ignore the compliments the demon paid him. In reality he felt rather stupid wearing what he was, the only sort of relief he had was the fact that he could at least wear heels with the tight like pants.

“I think a dance first is in order? Then maybe something to eat or drink.”

Turning back for just a second she waved at both Zar and Calder. "I hope to see you again!" And, because it was just a part of who she was, Mia blew the couple a kiss. Then all of her attention was turned squarely on her dance partner and the whole reason she was there. It wasn't any trouble to do such a thing - Merry was an utter delight and a joy to be around.

"Wait." She stopped moving long enough to hold out two of her hands, palms up. There purple flowers not unlike the ones she was wearing bloomed before they were plucked and placed against the curl of the chimera's horns. "There. Now you can't say I didn't bring you flowers." Dimples showed in her cheeks as she laughed, tugging Merry onto the dance floor and twirling her partner with easy finesse.

If there was anywhere that Charmian was at home, it was on a dance floor!

Oh...and there was anger! Had he done that? Hirzael thought he'd asked an innocent-enough question, but he was forever stepping over boundaries he was oblivious to, so perhaps he'd done so again without realizing it.

Embarrassed and frightened by the older student, the demon ended up shrinking rapidly until he was a mere two and a half feet tall. He clasped his hands behind his back, and swayed uneasily like an ashamed child.

"I didn't think anyone needed them," he answered Aisha, his gaze directed toward the ground as his tail discreetly curled about his legs. "Llyrendil just seemed like..." Fearing he would anger the ex-student council president further, his sentence trailed off and he shrugged. "I dunno."

The ghoul's explanation regarding grades, however, was a welcome change of subject and seem further supported by Llyrendil's comment that he'd been a second year for quite some time.

"Oh," the imp said, surprised. That might have explained why some students looked older than what might have been considered school age. "I didn't know that. That's really cool!" The idea of going at one's own pace really appealed to Hirzael. Maybe he really could stay at this school forever if he really wanted, then, and he wouldn't even have to fail classes to do it! "Congratulations on moving up! I hope you like your second grade even better than your first!"

Overcoming his shyness with the scaly being once more - partly because his fury seemed to have subsided and partly because the imp bounced back pretty quickly in terms of emotion - he opened his mouth to ask Llyrendil another question. "What did you do on the student council when you were president?"

"Always," Muka chirruped lightly with a grin. But the music was already bumping and crowds filling into the dance. The games it looked like were out a side door and the food not far.

"See anyone?" He probably had better eyesight than to ask his (essentially) blind ghoulfriend but that took him a second always, "I mean.. has anyone said they were coming?"

He wasn't very good at social networking.

"I'm sure I will," Aisha smiled, her loa wisping pleasantly between her lips.

As Hirzael began to question Llyr on being student council president her eyes seemed to drift. It wasn't that this was boring but there was a whole dance to enjoy and she was just standing here. She saw a few faces she recognized but no one she'd run off to see.

Still, it seemed like her attention was wandering and as the music played her body seemed to sway without thinking of it.

Lucida is currently under the effect of Jibberish: Can you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? No. No they can't. You think you're speaking normally, but all anyone else hears is complete and utter jibberish!

His honest words pleased her again, "Indeed." It was appropriate but - "I feel it a tad in-the-distance, we're each other's date tonight, right?" Her hand landed on his shoulder as soft as a feather for a moment but realized he was looking at her in an intense way. "No worries," Lucida knew her charisma too well.

The fruity punch was okay, she took a sip and turned her head to listen to Ane. The demoness took another sip and asked alluringly, "Is that fate?" Then her red eyes looked into his eyes, "I have the same feeling, I was discussing fashion with somebody like you in a recent dream." Lucida didn't notice others couldn't hear her properly because of the drink. Thier conversation was interrupted by a three-tailed creature and it was cute for Ane to talk to it like it would understand. She tilted her glass and sipped the punch once more. "I keep a few Vaisels and batlings."

It wasn't difficult to notice how strange the demon acted, as if he was surprised by his own words. "Ane, are you o -" Her concern was cut short seeing the fluffy kitsune turned into a boil all of a sudden. Lucida quickly recollected herself from the shock and connected the dots. "This's your friend Shiki?" She asked with hesitation whereas the boil had become a kitsune again. The demoness added almost simultaneously, "You'd better stay in your student form sans furs as it would be less awkward for us." She tried to give a harmless smile noticing how depressed the creature was.

Harrow dragged a hand free to rub across his face, slow and uncertain, trying to find the word for a fear that was so familiar that he didn't know how to describe it. After a moment, he just rolled his shoulders in a shrug, and looked back down at her.

"If you don't know, I can't tell you." His intention was dismissal, to drive the subject away. Stiffly, he reached for something to eat, an attempt at something normal.

Quote:

Anepou is suffering from Truth will out - I cannot tell a lie Not only can you not lie, but you are compelled to tell the truth. Honesty is the best policy, right?

Anepou smiled warmly at Lucida, and gave a slow nod. "True, we are. I will remember that, though if I slip, it is merely out of respect for your beauty and grace." He smiled a little, glad she wasn't offended by his study of her, and assumed she had taken it exactly as he'd said it. He wasn't meaning anything else. She was lovely, but he barely knew her, after all.

When she started speaking, and it came out as jibberish after her drink, his eyes widened and he accidentally swore, unable to help it because of the potion. "Jack Dammit, some one spiked the bedamned drinks with TRICK potions! I have to speak truth, and you, lovely Lucida, are speaking jibberish. I am so very sorry, I had no idea there was anything in them. I would never ever have given you such an uncouth drink had I known."

He swung his head back to Shiki. "Shiki! You misunderstand me! Oh gods, this potion is a disaster. I'm forced to speak the truth but it didn't come out like I MEANT it, because it's forcing words out of me, rather then the thought out way I'd say it so you'd understand me. First off, my dear friend, I've never seen you in your fox form before. I'm not very good at identifying people in their natural forms when I haven't seen it before, you see. Secondly... Shiki, I adore you, you're like... you remind me of family, in a very complex way... And I'd never want to push you away. But I have a duty to my family, that at events like this I represent them with all the elegance and grace the scion of our line requires. Which is to say that if I got my prom clothes covered in hair, the expense would be in the form of humiliation. I would almost certainly be called home, given a lecture in front of the whole family, and well... Other things..." He was clearly struggling with the truth potion here to prevent from discussing how his family punished what they considered disgrace, as it wasn't something he liked. "Otherwise you KNOW I'd happily snuggle you, my dear friend... I hope you know it?"
