Hitoshi gawked for a moment, unable to form a coherent sentence. His cheeks went completely red.
What just--
If Hitoshi had known Alex would react that strongly, he probably would have made a second batch.

Alex giggled a little, then rubbed his cheek. "Uhm, sorry, yes, it's beautiful in here. I love it."
He liked towards Natalie, Ian, and Zephyros. "If I haven't interrupted anything- hello."

"Good evening, Professor," Zephyros said brightly, hooking his arm in Jason's. When Jason kissed him, he kissed him back, wishing he could afford to make it more passionate and yet unwilling to kiss him more in public. At least, not considering he still felt like he was under a magnifying glass.

Natalie beamed at the new arrival to the conversation. "Oh, no. You haven't interrupted anything at all." She studied the new arrival intently. "Thought I'm afraid I have no idea who you are..."

"Alex Meriweather. And you? I think I remember you from the play, but I can't recall your name..." Alex smiled at her, then looked at Ian. "Or your friend's."

Vincent smiled quietly at the sudden onset of semi-awkward snogging going on, watching as the mistletoe drifted over his head. His smile turned into a grin as, never one to be left out, he pulled Diana close, pressing his lips against hers. He pulled away slowly with a quiet sigh, wrapping an arm around Diana as he turned his eyes back to the others.

"Natalie. Natalie Burns." Natalie indicated to Ian. "And this is Ian Harris, my boyfriend." The mistletoe floated over the two of them, and Natalie looked up at Ian. "I think you're supposed to kiss me."

Ian looked around hesitantly. "But... this is a crowded room... full of lots of people... with eyes..."

Natalie sighed and grabbed Ian's face. She pulled him into a kiss and then released him. A few seconds later, he pulled away, looking very red. Natalie sighed and turned back to Alex.
"I swear," She said to Alex. "Some days, I don't know which one of us wears the pants in this relationship."

Alex raised an eyebrow, then smiled at Natalie, glancing briefly towards Ian. "Well, I can't say anything about that tonight. I certainly hope you two are enjoying the dance."
He looked at Hitoshi. "Who's your sister coming with, by the way? She never did tell me."

Hitoshi glanced back at Alex. "I think Hitomi is going as friends with Peace, since she wasn't able to find a date in time," he replied. "Tristan's going to have a field day with that. They dated for about a month earlier this year, and Tristan is determined that Peace is trying to take advantage of her or something."

There were three things that inspired Jonathan to do anything. The first one was food, the second one was sex, and the third one was revenge. Out of the three, revenge was the only one that was strong enough to make Jonathan do something out of the ordinary, and that might require more than just lifting a finger.
Like, for example, crawling through the air vents to crash a couples-only dance.
Which is how Jonathan found himself crawling through the vents, dressed in a collared shirt and tie that he had stolen from some University student's room, on his hands and knees in the middle of Dunehelden's ventilation system. He shuffled along, taking care not to make any noise. The teachers were all too distracted to pay much attention, but if Jonathan was discovered in the vents, it would look really bad. No matter how utterly epic all this sneaking around was becoming.
After a few wrong turns and hasty retreats, Jonathan finally found himself at the exit that led to the gym. It was covered by a grate, as all other air vents were. Jonathan peered out and took in the entire scene. His first thought was Impressive.
His second was Ceiling Jonathan is watching you masturbate, bitches, and that caused him to cover his mouth quickly to prevent the roar of laughter from escaping from his throat. He watched the proceedings for a minute, looking for his targets. No Carmen, no Thrall... there was Zeph, but Jonathan didn't want to indirectly hurt Jason so Zeph was out. Ian and Natalie were there, of course, and Jonathan would be dealing with Ian later, but he wanted to save that one for his grand finale.
And there was that arrogant mage from the day Jonathan had been created and his boyfriend. Hitoshi and Alex. Jonathan smiled wickedly. Perfect.
Of course, there was no sense in doing anything on an empty stomach. Time to go down and help himself to the refreshments. Jonathan removed a small pocketknife from his shirt pocket and pried the grate off. He grabbed it before it could fall to the floor and let it down gently, so no one would notice. Then he slipped the knife into his pants pocket, took a deep breath, and slid out of the vent.
Jonathan hit the ground, hard. He lay there for a moment, then looked up to see if anyone had noticed. No, all the scenery was mercifully shielding Jonathan from view. Excellent. Standing up and stretching to relieve the throbbing in his back, Jonathan set out for the refreshment table, intent on shoving down as many cookies as possible before having his fun.

Valérian watched the few students that had arrived, dressed fairly neatly in a surprisingly modern suit. His silver hair was tied back at the nape of his neck in his usual style, with a silver ring rather than a simple leather thong. He'd been pressured into chaperoning the dance, otherwise he would have probably been in his classroom grading papers. He certainly wouldn't have been here with someone else. Nearly three hundred years had rather turned him off of love and all that nonsense.
Even with that feeling, he couldn't help but smile as everyone kissed under the mistletoe. It drifted over to him and he just glared at it, his pale blue eyes hard. There was no one near him, and at the moment, that was probably a very good thing. Hopefully everyone would just behave and make his interference unnecessary.

Post by Hoshi Yogo on Dec 23, 2009 18:08:14 GMT -5
Hoshi hovered around the dance floor, paying less attention to chaperoning and more attention to socializing with his students. The professor always loved this time of year, particularly the snow. Well, and the gifts, of course, but that was a given. There was just something undeniably wonderful about the holidays.
He glanced back at the wall, laughing and shaking his head at the sight of Valérian glaring at the mistletoe. He should probably go put Val out of his misery; the mistletoe normally refused to move on until someone had been kissed beneath it, at least without magical interference.
"Go on now, shoo," he chided. The mistletoe bobbed stubbornly over Valérian's head. "You're supposed to be with the students, not here," he told it. "Go harass Professor Gilespi or something." Hoshi waved the mistletoe away, sending it spiraling back toward the students.

Ellie walked into the room behind Kemekin and Nina, smiling as the mistletoe whizzed past them.
"You stay away from that," she warned her nephew cheerily, before making her way over to the other side of the dancefloor. The hem of her cream-colored dress made swishing noises as she walked. The decorations were quite spectacular, she noted, making a mental note to congratulate Smoke when she saw him.

Diana glanced idly around the room, wondering how on earth she had managed to let Vincent talk her into coming. It was a dance, for crying out loud. How was she supposed to dance if she couldn't even hear the music?
She noticed Hoshi and Ellie coming into the gym, smiling quietly. Ellie looked gorgeous in the cream-colored gown she was wearing, and she and Hoshi made an adorable couple. She raised a hand and waved them over, signing their names in greeting.

Hoshi waved toward Ellie as she entered, smiling broadly. "Come to join the chaperone party?" he called to her. "We're hunting for happy couples to harass."
Hoshi waved at Diana. His sign language was extremely limited, but he had at least managed to pick up the basics. As long as she signed slowly, he was usually able to communicate.
Enjoying the dance?[/b] he signed, hoping that he'd managed to remember the hand signs right. [/color]

Ellie smiled brightly, approaching Diana at the same pace as Hoshi. She met both of them simultaneously, hooking her fingers together behind her waist. "You look lovely, Diana," she said, enunciating so Diana could clearly read her words. Hoshi looked quite nice as well, come to think of it.

Post by Angel Kapur on Dec 23, 2009 19:15:57 GMT -5
Angel stood in the corner, half-covered in snow, though he didn't notice it much; he was busy staring at the thing in the air vents with a small smile on his face. The thing amused him; it had wanted to sneak in all stealth-like, lurking and plotting as it did, so he had made the smallest change in the castle, hoping it would get the point, and it had! This was going to be fun. What would it do? Who would it try to hurt? Seeing as it certainly wasn't capable of doing any serious damage, anyhow.
The snake seemed to be off raiding the refreshment table, so Angel instead turned his attention to the pretty vampire boy. He pointed at the mistletoe Hoshi had shooed off and sent it back towards Valérian, then began walking over, hoping no one else would interfere too much.

Diana smiled and nodded in response to Hoshi, signing a reply to Ellie. Thank you. So do you.[/color] She watched the mistletoe zooming around the room, watching as it continually bothered Valérian. He looked quite irritated by it, the poor man.

Kemekin grinned at his aunt as she walked away. "And of course, she finds Diana and Hoshi first." He straightened his cuffs and put his hands in his pockets, turning slowly in a circle to take in the fantastic decor job. "Oh damn, it's kind of awesome in here." His eye caught the mistletoe midflight towards Professor Dion, and he chuckled.

Peace came in, looking much nicer than usual in a tux he had rented for his junior prom and never managed to take back. It was still a little small on him, but close enough. Upon seeing that Professor Himmel was the one keeping the door, he had run back into his room to grab his pipes, hoping he could round up a group for something a little better than intercom music.
He was very much looking forward to the opportunity to hang out and, perhaps, hook up with someone else who came with a friend- though he owed at least one dance to the girl he came with, if her uncle wouldn't start plotting murder over it. 'She never told me she was fifteen' never went over well.

Post by Frog on Dec 23, 2009 20:26:26 GMT -5
Frog hopped over to the snack table, poking through the plates of sweets. The gingerbread men were almost too cute to eat... almost. Frog grabbed two of them and shoved them into his mouth, chomping off the heads.
...Oh. That was disappointing. They weren't very sweet or tasty. Frog dropped the headless gingerbread men back onto the table. Brownies, cookies, hot cocoa -- Candy canes! Frog dashed over to the table-top Christmas tree, grabbing handfuls.
Frog himself, as Angel's date, was more than happy to meet the dress code, though where Frog was able to find a lolita dress was anyone's guess. Layers of white crinolines and black lace hung to his ankles; his messy hair was covered by a frilly half-bonnet. With the eyeliner and blush on top of that, Frog looked very much like a somewhat gender-confused porcelain doll.
Frog ran up to Angel, jumping on his back from behind. "Look! They have candy!" he exclaimed. "They have candy!" Frog waved one of the candy canes in front of Angel's face. "You can have one. They grow on trees! I've never seen a tree grow candy!"

The conversation had died down, at least for Ian and Natale, so Natalie grabbed Ian's arm. "Let's dance." Seeing the look on his face, she sighed. "Oh, don't give me that look. You know you want to." She seized his arm and led him to the middle of the dance floor.
"Put your hand like this... and I put my arm like this... good." And with that, they were off, spinning across the dance floor, Natalie wincing in pain as Ian's feet crushed her toes. But she didn't particularly care. It was worth it just to be free to dance.

Hitoshi glanced over at Angel, watching him intently. What was he up to...? He couldn't be here for anything good, that was for certain, particularly after... after... Hadn't he done something? There was Lamadre's disappearance, but there was something else he couldn't remember. Strange.
"I'm going to go check on something," he murmured, glancing back at Alex. "I'll be back in a few minutes." Without waiting for an answer, Hitoshi slipped off into the crowd, staying along the wall as he moved toward Angel.
